We have 110 doubt that t 11 -the former would as cheerfully re-, ^ , rspond to the wishes of theprepon-i t -1 I derant petition as would the Gen- ii -eral Assembly, and the modus ope ;I randi would be far more simple ia c .and direct. |c f Governor Blease and his law!

With ft any other man as Governor it might t be deemed of questionable propriety s I to leave his oilice and represent a Tj client before the courts, but such an , e act on the part of our Chief Execu- p tive is quite in keeping with his a general conduct. What a pity Car- s lisle was not sentenced to the State a penitentiary, so that His Excellency n t could till in a pardon form, thus! saving himself the time and trouble! of pleading the case in court. 0 g In the hurry of going to press last! ^ week we neglected to say that the s "writer of our Xew York letter was g in-error in the statement that Mrs a Hetty Green, the richest and most ^ successful business woman in the r United States, was dead.

FROM LAKE CITY. SHAW-MARSHALL WEDDING? THE REAPER, DEATH?OlIR SCRIBE FEASTS -PERSONAL. Lake City, November 21:?Mr E DuRant spent Sunday in Florence. Mrs J M Truluck and niece, Miss Sleida Fulmore, were in Charleston i portion of last week. Mrs A H Williams and her two roungest children, Leone and E.am lolph, are in Colleton county visit ng relatives. For the first time in several years here is not a dwelling house in own in the course of construction. Ve do not know how long the lull vill continue, but just now there is in absolute cessation in building. We have on exhibition in our office i bunch of sweet potato "slips," There are exactly twenty-five"slips" n the one bunch. They were grown >y Mr J E Kurch and are of the ariety of potatoes known as the 'vineless yam," which is regarded >y many as the best potato grown. Mr T C Covington went to Colum>ia Friday and returned Sunday fight. Mr and Mrs H Nachman and Miss dollie Nachman spent Sunday in| Cingstree with Mr and Mrs S tfarcus. Mr Marshall of Charleston and, diss Lizzie Shaw were married on .""nursday night of last week at the! esidence of the bride's brother-in-; aw, Mr D M Epps. The ceremony ras performed by Rev C C Derrick, t was a private marriage, only nembers of the immediate family teing present. The couple went to lharleston, where they will make heir home. Mrs Carrie Fulmore, the young | vife of Mr Charles W Fulmore. j lied Saturday night, two hours after j he birth of her baby. She was; diss Carrie Brown, of Clarendon | :ounty, and a niece of Rev R E j Smith, from whose home she went orth a bride less than one year ago. )n Monday morning the body was arried back :o the o]d home and aid to rest. The little one is well ,nd being tenderly cared for by elatives. It were hardly necessary j o say that everybody feels deeply i for the husband left so lonely. The writer will not postpone givtig thanks ur.til Thanksgiving day. le went at this business last week s soon as the good things began oming his way, and he has not yet eased to be very, very grateful, irst there wjis a bag of fine sweet otatoes from that champion farmer, j It T Lide Carter. To say that they ' /ere excellent is only the simple ruth. Then Mr Thad S Lee sent is a jug of home-made sorghum. Lccording to our liking, this sor- j hum is a better table syrup than he syrup made from the best rib- j on cane. It has a tang,a piquancy, | hat is not to be found in the light, yrups. Next, was a sack of vine?ss yams from Mr J E Burch. The otatoes averaged about 2h pounds, ach and the largest weighed 4 ounds. Each one was as smooth j nd symmetrical as potatoes are ever ! een, and each was as nearly perfect: s could be found. And last, butj iot least, our ?olored friend Mingo 1 larr made us smile until the fever ilisters cracked when he presented is with a fine turkey gobbler for ur Thanksgiving dinner. That ? ~Viz-tkinrJ ln/^lr anrl ,UUUltr liuw i raw u\;uiuu iwn u*iu ;ey, for he keeps his whereabouts o well advertised that we would lie .wake nights were he exposed. For ill these good things we feel indeed rrateful and appreciate these kindlesses more than we can put into vords. Now, if some one will only renember the heighth and depth and ength of our fondness for 'possum, his writer will celebrate two days nstead of one. One hcpe for the uture lies in the fact that specuators have not yet laid their lighting hands upon 'possums and otatoes. Little Lizzie, the seven year old laughter of Mr and Mrs W L Ask " / I ins, died on the 14th instant after an illness of only a few hours. The cause is said to have been ptomaine poisoning from eating pork. She was the only girl in the entire family, which but made her taking away doubly sad. On Friday, the 18th instant, Mr Joseph Townsond Woods, a Confederate veteran and noble citizen, answered the roll called in the'camp "across the river." The end came after an illness of several days, the last few of which were passed in un consciousness;. It was the gradual | crumbling to pieces of a noble! structure that had been undermined by the want and the wgunds of war and the struggles of after years in the effort to earn a support for self i and faithful wife. His every need j in the closing days was supplied . by friends, of whom no one here had | truer; and his friends, both white j and black, watched over him with tenderest solicitude. Saturday, at midday, all that is mortal of the old J j warrior was laid to rest in the Ask! ins cemetery, with Masonic honors.! Mr Woods was born in Darlington j county very nearly seventy years ago. He was in Capt. John Floyd's | company of artillery in the Confederate war and went through that great struggle with honor to himself and his country. He was in some of the fiercest fighting of the war. In the "blow up" at Petersburg he was badly wounded, his hip being crush* * * / IT 4.1- T7 eel Dy a mass 01 iainng earui. rrum these wounds he never recovered, and they undoubtedly shortened his life. His name is not found in that l>ook supposed to contain the biographies of "men of mark," he did not have the price necessary to get into that miserable volume; but, according to the estimate which measures true nobility, Mr Woods was one of the finest heroes with whom we have met. With no property and no family except his wife, this man, too proud to fawn upon those who held the purse strings, too manly to cringe before the hypocrites who pray standing in the streets, yet too crippled to earn a decent support for the two, worked when he could scarcely raise his body, and joked when the larder was as bare as a tirin/J on-arvf UTnlW.

While out hunting last Friday, Mr B C Hough, a prominent merchant of Lancaster, was accidentally shot and will probably lose his leg from the wound. H STATE and GENERAL K , * TOPICS H In a coal mine at Vivian, West Virginia, Saturday, "fire-damp" ex- ^ ploded, killing eighteen miners. XXX 1 An unknown young white man was killed last Thursday near Co- ' lumbia by a train on the Southern railway. ' XXX Wade Patterson, for about 22 years a policeman at Aiken, was shot and killed Friday afternoon by Jas 1 Seigler. The published reports of the alTair seem to indicate a brutal mur-1 der. XXX I Cotton-ginners' reports show 11,- 1 269,986 bales ginned up to November 13, which is almost a million 1 and a half more than has ever been ginned before up to this time of , the year. J' XXX Near 'Spartanburg, Saturday night, Randolph Watson was proba-1 bly fatally wounded by Deputy Sheriff G R Moore. The shooting grew out of the officer's attempting to ar- ( rest Watson, who was charged with | selling contraband vHiiskey. j XXX I J Harry Yeager.a young boy living j at Clinton, had started out hunting ^ last Friday with several youthful j j companions, when he placed the gun on his foot, and, forgetting it was loaded, blew a hole clear through the foot, causing a part of the member to be amputated. XXX A white man of Columbia, while' in an intoxicated condition Saturday I night, fired the contents of a shot gun into a street car full of passengers because it did not stop for him to tret aboard. Fortunately the load went too high to strike any one. XXX In a family row among negroes in Spartanburg Saturday, McJimpsey shot and killed his brother, I Ervin McJimpsey. The slayer had had both legs cut off in a railway accident. so the officers had but little j trouble catching him after the shoot- j ing, as he could not run fast. XXX W D Mayfield, former State Superintendent of Education, now a res- ident of Texas, has been arrested on a warrant sworn out by R G Stone, a' Greenville man, charging him with j breach of trust, with fraudulent ? intent. Mr Mayfield came to Green-! ville from El Paso, Texas, and | gave bond. XXX Albert Lyon, a young white man, of Edgefield county, shot and fatally]. wounded Osey Harris, colored, Sat- < urday morning. The two men met on a highway near Edgefield court ] house and after some words passed, each drew his weapon and began to shoot. The white was armed with a pistol, while the negro wielded a shot gun. XXX Brooks Wilson and Joseph Sher ard, aged 14 and 16 respectively, were burned to death Tuesday morning when the dwelling of Walter Wilson, at Warrenton, Abbeville county, was destroyed by fire. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the boys dropping a match on the way to their bedroom on the second floor. XXX Dr Eugene Wasdin, a native of Georgetown, who was a distinguished surgeon of the United States Marine and Hospital service,died Friday of last week in a Philadelphia sanatarium. Dr Wasdin was a brother-ir-law of Mr W D Morgan of Georgetown, who went to Philadelphia to accompany the remains to Georgetown, where the interment took place. Dr Wasdin became a national figure by being one of the surgeons to operate on the late President McKinley when the latter was shqt by Czolgocz, the anarchist. Dr Wasdin advanced the theory that the assassin used a poisoned bullet. / VY XllU"0 %Y C pw OIUV ?f v.... friends, he was at all times a true friend, brave, constant and absolutely fearless. Privation did not daunt his manliness and his character was not affected by his surroundings. Last May he was with the living veterans at Little Rock; now he is with that vast army of comrades who have "crossed over the river and are resting under the sha<fe of the trees." May his rest be sweet, and the awakening glad in the joys to which he was a stranger in the land he served so well. Monday night the store of Mr S M Askins was entered and robbed. The thief unfastened a window sometime during the day, and at night pulled the bar out and walked in. The shoes and clothing were tumbled about and no doubt some carried away, but exactly what, has not been determined. Robbery is getting so common here that it attracts out little attention. Every few nights some store * i ?"J. l is broken into ana piunaereu. W L B. Already there are three announeed candidates for Governor of South Carolina, and, it is said, all were l>orn in Newberry county: Messrs Jones, Blease and John T Duncan. Notice.
