' - -x _ . f THURSDAY, MAR 9, 1905. k )/ One of the two new bar.tle-ships js to be named the '-South Carolina", V in honor of Congressman Legare, v President Roosevelt says. If it be true; I 9b 18 a (lues^ona^e compliment to f >The inaugnratiou of Theodore F ~ 4 Roosevelt was pulled off last Satur- j P * day with great pomp and pageant, * Four more years of "Teddy" is f tough on the South, but we guess i she can stand it. The Fifty-eighth cougress adjourn ed at noon last Saturday. Speaker Cannon and Congressman John * 4 Sharpe Williams, the leader of the Democratic forces, were each presented with loviug cups in tok^n of V, their services. / It seems to be tbe^opular thing L * t fo* men of mors or less prominence ^towkuftfinto iournalism. The latest Kessions to magazine literature are Thomas E Watson, Populist, Wand Gov Bob Taylor, whose weakness seems to run to matrimony. It was hardly to be supposed that the Roosevelt inauguration, could be a success without the presence of Booker T., and yet we have seen no If mention of that worthy's being signallv honored. Surely' Teddy is WBf not getting too proud to give propei recognition to his.dusky chum. The way some prominent person BSu ^""6^ and newspapers are trying to curry^|^or with Roosevelt and the Repu blican adffiinist.r?rtTO:i is extreme, f ly nonseatiug. It does not by any [ mea vs follow that major ties are ulf* ways right. It was the voice of the ^ peop.e that condemned Christ to be ' f crucPied. ' / Wnatever of doubt or uucertainty the average man may have as to his capaoilities there are two things he is absolutely sure that he can do without previous instrui tion or training, viz., edit a newspaper and run a farm. These a:e inhereut gifts, be thinks; and yet many a man has bankrupted himself in profitless attempts to turn an editorial furrow, or to edit, with hoe in hand, the weeds out of a corn field. It Is Worth 51.1)0. Just let us say one thing, please, and that is. any sort of a local newspaper, is worth any uia i's dollai for twelve months.- The people who know nothing about the making of a newspaper know nothing of its worth or the work incident to the making thereof. Of course we think every man should take the best local paper tie can get for his money, just as he would buy the best flour, the most meat or the best pair <4' shoes or the best piece of cloth. But if you .ire not willing to buy the 'nest you can get, why buy some kind of a paper ^ anyway. A man wbodiesn't read is an igi^ramus, and an ignoramus is %he kind of a "varmint." Read^^kd paper; read a good mm if yo^^^L but if you don't read a gocJ^^^wd some kind, < In i^^^^Kds; if you don't read thinews read another; ignoramus.?CiafT ) k,' ' ~ L V to select a good [L^^l V for Jg year ? ^n. CATLIN'S BODY FOUND. He was Drowned in Black River, About a Month Ago. Georgetown, March 8?Special: The remains of W I) Catlii,, who whs drowned in Black Rive>v about one month ago, while on a Jwunting trip, were found today a negro .itwiiit tiftv vards frjih where the negro boatman was found about three weeks ago, and brought to Georgetown late this afternoon . A coroner's jurv was promptly empanelled and a verdict of accidental drowning rendered. The relatives of the unfortunate young man, who live in Danville, Va., have been notified. Larceny to Cheat Publisher. A newspaper in Ohio recently brought suit against fortv-tnree men who would not pay their subscriptions, and obtained judgment in each case for the amount of each elaim. Of these, 28 made affidavit that they owed no more than th% law allowed, iltus preventing attachment. Then, under th^ decision of the supreme court, they were arrested for petit larceny and bound over in the sum of 83000 each. All but six gave bond, which six went to jail. The new postal law makes it larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it.?Ex. Death of Mrs. Susan E. Coward. At five o'clock Friday afternoon, March 3, 1905, Mrs Susan Emma Coward, wife of Mr J W Coward, passed away after a brief illness of pneumonia. The funeral services were held on Sunday morning at the Williamsburg cemetery, being conducted by Rev Thomas Leitch in the presence of a number sympathizing friends. Mrs Coward was a daughter of Mr aud Mrs John P McElveen of i Cades, and would have been thirty ; eight years old had she lived until April. She had been married twenty years and leaves six children, five girls and one boy, besides her bereaved husband and aged parents, to mourn her loss. To the aftlicied husband and motherless children we tender our sincere sympathy, and may they find consolation in Him who lowth tho>e He chasteneth and who never fails' i to administer balm to the heart bm?' ed down in grief and woe. ainair> Tiir II ill nnilTr alunu int mail nuiiL. items Picked lip Between Lake City and Venters. Lake City, March 6:?Owing to the cold, wet weather fanners were unable to do but little work, up to ten days ago. For the past few days, however, they have been J energetically bestirring themselves all along the mail route preparing for another crop. Messrs W P, It E and J W Brown 'and J Davis Carter,all of Leo, are breaking their laud deep with two ' horse plows. Deep ploughing in winter and spring is essential to success in farmiog. Quite a number of people have been sick with grip lately, but I 'am glad to see that they are about all getting better. The public roads have be?? in a very bad condition, but within the j past week the water has dried up considerably, leaving them m a better shape, although there are s'ill some'very bad holes?in places.
