The Republicans appear to be distrustful of Roosevelt's ability to carry their banner successfully in the next presidential election, and are turning to Mark Hanna as the more available man. The Democrats had rather have Roosevelt to oppose, believing him to be the weaker candidate, but the South would be better off with Hanna our president, for so good a business man as he would not be always disturbing business interests here by koeping' up the irritating policy of appointing negroes to office in the South.

Lockhaht, Dec. 14 ?It has been some time since I have written to Thk Times. I offer as my excuse not much time to write, associated with procrastination. Died here on Ihe 7th inst., R. P. Caldwell, in the 59th year of his age. He was reared in York county, but had made Lockhart his home for several years. He was an ex-Confederate soldier and is said to have never shirked from any duty. He was a patriotic man in its strictest sense, and possibly had no such word as fear written in his vocabulary. Died at Paris, Texas, on the 5th ultimo, Mr. Qarland H. Smith, aged 80 years. Mr. Smith went from Chester county to Texas, but was well known in Union county. He w<^8 a member of the Palmetto Regiment that wont to Mexico in 1816 of .wh'ich sometime ago there were only 14 survivors. He did good service in the Confederate army, and possibjv in the troubles that followed in the early seventies. A cutting affair happened here last Wednesday night, the 9th inst., the parties being ail white. Qeorge Wilkes, who had just returned homo from Converse Commercial College, cut Wilkes Stephenson in the left side. How seriously Mr. Stephenson is cut your correspondent knoweth not, but it has been thought best to bind Wilkes in a bond for his appearance at the circuit court. The difficulty grew out of a very trivial affair. The cutting is greatly deplored, as both are young men of good families, and Stephenson is considered as a sober, industrious, Christian young man. Mr. W. K. Livingston has resigned his position as store manager to take effect on the 1st of January, 1901: He is flrointr to establish a wholesale store at Seneoa. Mr. Livingston has many friends at Lockhart and will oarry with him the good wishes of the people in his new enterprise. He is a strictly sober and conscientious young man and It Is most probable that he will make a success in his new enterprise. Who will be his successor does not as yet appear. * < k Society Notes.

This week's meeting of the Tea Cups Club was well attended and of pai ticular interest. The subject for study was Susannah Wesley, a good mother, who gave to the world a great son. Mrs. H. M. Giimball flret read an instructive paper on "lteligous conditions in England during her life," which was a comprehensive introductory to a charming paper bv Mrs. W, M. Jones. This paper related th^ life story of Susannah Wesley, telling of her childhood, her marriage and her wonderful performance as the wife oi a poor curate, and the mother and educator of nineteen children. Mrs. Jones told of her aid to her son, John Wesley, and ranked her as the fouudiessof Methodism?but a woman who was not only famous in Methodism. but among all sects, The story of her inspired teaching, her religion, and her whole life of self-sacritlce was one that found appreciative hearers in the club. The conversation, ''Woman's work id the churches of today," was taken up and proved an interesting topic. The ; next meeting of the club, the fouith Tuesday in December, will be a social gathering in view of the approaching ho-idays, which affair is in charge of a compe'ent and entertaining committee. ?Spartanbuag Journal, Dec. 10th. * Honor Roll Union Graded Schools.
