Queer Card of Thanks.
The following card of thanks, I
clipped from the Newbeiry News
& Herald, is unique in the way's
of suggestive phraseology. The i e
writer, we infer, was a tenderfoot jt
in the game of politics and a f
guileless stranger to the devious i
ways of the wily politician. He r
believes his defeat to be a direct \
interposition ot Divine influence c
and in a dream after the election t
saw things that "changed his
aoul." Certainly here is a forceful
illustration of the sentiment ei- ^
pressed in the familiar old hymn, I
"God moves in a mysterious way, *
His wonders to perform." J
The "card" reads as follows: c
Many thanks to the kind friends e
that voted for me for the office of 0
commissioner of public works. But,
kiud f riends.let Die tell you all right
now and forever more I never intend
to enter politics any more. I believe p
it was God's will for me not to be
elected. I had a aream the night af- e
ter the election that has changed my <3
soul and 1 have been telling every j
person who voted for me and thosa
wh^ didn't vote for me,to deal square
and upright with all classes, both
white and black. God has changed
my life and given me a different b
feeling towards everybody. 1,
Very respectfully,
Fred J Russell. 11
"Hoch der Kaiser Coghlan."
The death of Rear Admiral
Ooseph B' Coghlan last Sunday T
recalls the famons poem, 4,Hoch q
- der Kaiser/' which he recited at t,
a banquet given in his honor in
-New York after his triumphant
treturu from the Philippines in ||
1899, where he had taken a bril- |
liant part in the battle of Manila
Bay, being, it is said, second only t
to Admiral Dewey himself in D
fighting prowess. This satiric poem ^
coming at a time of strained re- ^
lations between Uncle Sam and i.
i c
"der Kaiser"' by reason of the j
attitude of certain German naval
officers at Manila towards Admiral t
Dewey, it was feared would pre- c
cipitate trouble with the German ^
W S
Emperor and President McKinley
a
reprimanded Admiral Coghlan in ^
a public letter for his indiscre- c
tion. As it turned out, however, f
Emperor William saw the joke
and laughed heartily over it and I
thus the incident closed except ^
that ever afterward the Admiral e
was referred to as *'Hoch der C
K-aiser" Coghlan.
I
The press despatches report (
?? ^?cttor Tillman "much disappoint- a
ed by the double call upon him
at this time," this being the tirsi \
time in thirteen years that he has ^
missed the opening roll-call of the 1
c
Senate. Senator Tillman's record
< c
for punctuality in attending the a
opening sessions of the branch of t
Congress of which he is a mem- \
ber are of course highly commendable,
but he should blame ho I
one but himself for the disap- i
pointmeut he experienced at not *
being able to answer two calls of c
duty simultaneously. The point is that
Senator Tillman has tena- a
ciously clung to that Clemson i
College trusteeship in plain viola- i
\
ion of the State constitution that!
i
le himself helped to frame, and,
le has been permitted to do so|
)ecause?well, because lie is Tillnan.
It
is with genui.ie pleasure that j
ve give prominence to Lie an-,
louncenietit of a "Fanners' Rally
lay" at Harpers, with tlfc objects |
n view /set forth so clearly and1
forcibly by oi'r wide-a-wake Har>ers
correspondent. The example
;et by Harpers is worthy of emuatiou.
The citizens of that comnunity
deserve success for their
rarnest efforts toward uplifting
heir condition and as a rule peo>lc
get what they deserve.
It can be demonstrated to an ab*
olate certainty that the remedy for
ight cent cotton and, withal, the
emporal salvation of the Souther^
armer, is diversified crops ai
11 tensive farming. But it by n
neans follows that this system
vill be followed, as the farmers
?f the South are habitually blind
o their best iuterests.
Our columns are opeu for the
liscussion of the uew county
>roposition. We shall be glad to
lear from any one on the subect
and we bespeak respectful
onsideration for the views of
very one, regardless of whether
r not we agree with the writer.
One of our contemporaries comlains
that it has 1000 subscribrs
in arrears. Well, we are not
uite that bad off and we d<~ "
atend to get so, either.
Reduced acreage, variety of crOj
etter cultivation ana arainage?t
that be the slogan of Wilamsburg
farmers for the year
909.
There is another subject we inlte
discussion upon?good roads.
.V> much attention cannot be giveD
0 this vitally important question.

Correspondents must sign

hat some of our friends would
inally learn that this rule must;
>e complied with when they ex-j

I)r W C? Gamble took Miss
jilly Mcintosh of Workman toj
Charleston Friday to be operat- j
;d on for appendicitis. The
>peration was performed bv Dr
Baker at the St. -Xavierin-I
irmary and at last accounts the
jatient was doing well. Mrs!
lamble accompanied the doctor
ind his- patient.
The editor is sick in bed this i
voek with fever and severe pain, j
Editing a paper from a sick room
s about as inconvenient as the(
:ase of an editor we once heard j

md had to edit his paper over

The quarterly reports of
Cingstree's thriving financial
nstitutions,which are published
his week, cast a gleam of hope
>n the troubled sea of business
lepression. Witn $131,000 on
leposit in the Bank of Kingstree
tnd $77,000 in the Bank of Willamsburg?and
four other banks

A!
from?the cry of "hard times i
seems to be without foundation
Evidently there is a plenty of
money in the country, but some
people, we fear, are hoarding it
at the expense of their creditors.
Kingstree has a right to feel
proud of her two banks. Both
of them make splendid showings
and rellect great credit on the
excellence of their management,
which has gained them the confidence
of the public generally.
Messrs (1 W James and S J
Kennedy of Scranton were in
