The campaign that ended ip the
Wm* defeat of Goebel a. the pols, the
struggle incident to the legislative
contest wherebv he snatched the
governorship from Taylor, his assa
ssiuation and the campaign of proscription
Waged by his partisans
after his death weie replete with
dramatic situations and crowded the
stage with actors who played iin
portant parts. But of all the participants,
none, not even Coebel
himself,focused the public attention
more clearly than Caleb Powers,
Republican secretary of State.
Powers has beeu lighting with a
halter around his neck for . eight
years. During all that time he has
lain largely iu the power of
his political opponents. Four
times Powers has been tried for his
life.
Howard,alleged to be the man who
actually fired the shot that killed
Goebel, was under life sentence.

pardon was signed by nearly 500,000
' - persons, some 240,000 Kentuckiaus
and a large proportion of Democrats.
He said that be had given the cast
the most careful, conscientious aud
thorough investigation and thought
in his power,realizing that he wonld
be ciiticized whatever his decision

might be.
The governor added: The murder
, of Senator Goebel bestroyed a remarkable
life, brought deepest grief
to his family and thousands of
friends who loved hicn, overthrew
the whole State election, destroyed
the peace and good feeling of the
State for eight years, set neighbor

world. There was and is no
shadow of excuse or palliation for
this base crime. There can be 110
mercy for anv one guilty of murdei
or of aiding or abetting it. but a
more grave crime, a more serious, is
the responsibility of deciding tinquestion
of guilt and a more imper
ative duty of guarding against injustice
and wrong imposed under
pressure 01 puonc excitement, passion
or prejudice.
? Cultivating Politeness
Many parents turn over the mental
training of the'r children to the
public school and their religious
traiuing to the Sunday school, or cot
that part out altogether and think
they have done their full duty to
their offspring.
In the home they are a sort of
neccessaiy nuisauce, always in the
way, getting sick and having the
doctor's bills to run up aud generally
a great source of annoyance.
When such children began to "grow
up" they are daily reminded of what
a task they have been and how
"devoted" to their parents they
should be. Often such children are
not "devoted" to these parents; fun
ny isn't it? but it's so an toe same*
One of the greatest works for the
parent in the home after the ch lid
has begun to go out iuto the world
is to teach it good manners. He will
need it if he is to go on in the world
Hnd live every where and at all times
^ill be so much easier for him.
Act patiently. You cannot teach
a child politeness and good manners
by storming at him. You must act
A -politely yourself, and this will have
\ to be kept up all the time, "Do as I
do, not as I do," does not make
Nmuch impression od a child.
All the little courtesies that make
life easier and pleasanter are just as
necessary today as they were 100
vears ago. Teach your children to be
polite at all times and under all
circumstances.?Greenwood Indeu.

Congressman Ellerbe in a Difficulty.
Marion, June 15.?A personal
difficulty occurred on Main
street in Dillon today between
Mr W Murchison of Dillon and
Congressman J E Ellerbe of
Marion. Neither of the gentlemen
was hurt, as they were
immediately separated
Congressman Ellerbe was seen
oy yuur turrcspuuueiu <tuu
made the following statement:?
"I was walking up the street,
met Mr Murchison and spoke
politely to him. Mr Murchison
said very abruptly: "I have
heard that you have slandered
me to Mr Wheeler in mv absence."
This I said is absolutely
untrue. Mr Murchison then
askdd me if I would face Mr
Wheeler with him. To this 1
readily consented and we walked
across the street to where
Mr Wheeler was standing on the
opposite sidewalk. Mr Wheeler
admitted that I had said nothing i
insulting about Mr Murchison
nor anything reflecting upon
his character. He could not
recollect my exact words, be
said, but it was something about
Mr. Murchison and the Dillon
postoffice. Before Mr. Wheeler
could finish his statement Mr.
Murchison cursed me and I
struck him. He. attempted to
strike back but we were immediately
separated."
Mr. Ellerbe further stated that
he had never said an unkind
word . against Mr. Murchison
and could not understand why
he shonld have sought a personal
encounter with him; that
* ? . ; - '
j
lie had not heard Mr Murchison's
name mentioned in connectiin
with the Dillon post offce.
Mr Murcliison wjs also asked
for a statement of liis version of
the affair, but he said that he
did not care to have anything to
say for publication.

Columbia, June 13:?A letter
from an Alabama coal district
tells of the heroic deed of Mr li
Calmer McMaster, of this city,
to save the life of his friend,
State Geologist D 11 Phillips of
i\labama, while out a few days
investigating holdings Mr McMaster
had acquired.
Mr Phillips, a kinsman of the
Verners, of Colu inbia, was bitten
on the ankle by a rattle[sneake,
and so far from medical
assistance, would have died had
not Mr McMaster promptly
sucked the poison from the
wound.
The slightest abrasion in the
mouth would have meant death
in terrible agony for Mr McMas

Notice to TeachersThe
teachers' institute for William sburg
county will begin July 27 and last
two weeks. The faculty will consist of
Mi-s Mary T Nance and Prof 0 M
Mitchell, and the State Department
of Education promises to supply a special
instructor in drawing, provided we
have a good attendance.
Certainly our teachers are offered a.
fine opportunity to better equip themselves.
Good teachers will be paid
more next year than ever before. I / .
hope those who do not try to improve
themselves will be paid less. First
and second grade certificates will be
renewed for attendance on the institute.
