V ' '"There is always a touch of sadnfss in parting," declared Mendel L . $mith, Speaker of the House, in his farewell address to members of that [. body in the dying- hours of the ses[Uon. ktol Today,with the 1914 session of the ^fteneral Assembly brought to a close, PPonly a few members of the House ~ and the Senate in the city, his words! [ are forcibly recalled. It was a few minutes after 2: ? o'clock tlijs morning when the ses- i t sion gave its last gasp and died. Today the halls,where a few short y hours ago.the walls rang with politl ' ical discussion and the hot words inh cident to factional strife, were de! 'serted, save for the presence of a ?

There was Wa/note of sadness in the very atraos fphere?and this was accentuated by Vthe weeping elements outside. P Among those who will be missed when the House reconvenes is the Speaker, Mendel L Smith, who will J mfike the race for Governor in the F cominfir primaries; Josh Ashley, who -has served for 20 years in the Lower Branch of the General Assembly,may not return? ?win# to ^is age and the desire of members of his family that he retire from the strife and turmoil incident to political life. * "Uncle Josh," as he is lovingly r .called by his fellow members, while F :his political opinions are so deep[ "rooted that he cannot* be swerved, Lno matter what question may arise, has many personal attributes which IBhve endeared him his fellow members. It isn't often that' "Uncle Josh" asks a favor of the House, But when he does rise to speak lie is always ' Hpven a most considerate and re" Kspectful hearing. William F Stevenson, for 17 years Ha member of the House and regardHbd even by his political opponents as Hone of the brainiest men who ever bccupied a seat in that body,will also be missing when the roll lis called Ibext year. Kf Mr Stevenson aspires to higher political honors and is expected '.o en- ' ter the race for Congress to succeed Hjtongressman Finley in the Fifth dis- ] PAII Paint.

Dr Wyche was stricken with paralysis during the present session and, though considerably improved in health, will ' never again be the strong; robust man of earlier days. Representative W C Irby, Jr, of I Laurens, will enter the race for Lieutenant Governor, so he, also, 1 ! will be eliminated,as will J H Moore, 1 who will also be a candidate for ' Lieutenant Governor. 1 J W Boyd, of Spartanburg, is not ' ' > J expected to oe a canamaie iur ic- . election and J J Evans, of Marlboro, will be a candidate for the State ' Senate,to succeed Senator McLaurin. Representatives Lee, of Darlington, and Fortner, of Spartanburg, ' will be in the race for Railroad Commissioner, and M M Stanley, of Hor- 5 ry, may also be a candidate. R M Mixson, a new member from J Barnwell, will enter the race for 1 Congress against Congressman Byrnes in the Second district. J T Liles, of Orangeburg.who had expected to run for Lieutenant Gov- . ernor.has pulled out of the race and . will seek re-election. W J Smiley, . another well known House member, will probably enter the lists for c Lieutenant Governor. Both Representatives Welch and ' Youmans, of Richland, will make . the race for the State Senate to sue- ! ceed Francis H Weston. J A Hunter, of Bamberg, is also a candidate ! forLieutenant Governor. . There are others in the House, old " members and new, who will not be 1 candidates for re-election. Some j wiil seek election to the State Senate and others,who will seek re-election, J may be unable to secure endorsement for another term. New leaders are therefore sure to j spring up and take the places of those who have gone before them. 1 In the Senate numerous changes c are likely. Senator McLaurin will f probably make the race for Gov- s ernor in the coming primaries and will not return. Lieutenant Gov- ? ernor Charles A Smith, who has presided over the deliberations of the i Upper Legislative body, is also ex-1c pected to make the race for GoverDor. Senator Sullivan, of Anderson, will probably retire to private life. 0 Senator Weston of Richland, has 5 been appointed United State District j Attorney, so he is eliminated, and a there may be other changes. Sen- r ator Mars of Abbeville, who was h considering the advisability of run- t ning for Lieutenant Governor, has t aeiermineu nui, lo iuais.e mc mix q and will, therefore, be a candidate p for re-election.?Columbia Record. j\ ~ r' i The world is full of things to be i< thankful for if one Icould only get hold of them. d ?

He volunteered for duty at the very beginning of the war, and was made a captain for distinguished bravery on the field. His record for courage and his steadfast devotion to duty is one that any soldier might well be proud of. In the early "80's", he offered himself and was accepted by the Methodist conference and for thirty years he gave the very best that was in him to that work. It is sufficient to say that the same courage and devotion that marked him as a soldier were shown daily in all his long ministry.
