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.

Lock hart Laconic*.
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.

Society Notes.
The Euchre Club was most charmingly
entertained Tuesday afternoon by
Mrs. H. M. Holmes. After seven
games of 5-lmnd euchre were played,
dainty refreshments were served and the
prizes awarded. Miss Eloise Beaty won
the Qrst pri/e, a beautiful pin cushion,
and the other one, a cute little stick pin
holder, was won by Mrs. J. E. Squire.
An interesting meeting of the Bronte
Club was held with Mrs. Thomas on
Monday afternoon. Portugese Explorers
and Navigators was the subject under
discussion. Five minutes papers were
read by several of the members. Cabral,
Miss Johnson; Magellan, Mrs.
Thomas; Henry the Navigator, Mrs.
Thomson; Albequeque,Mrs, Nannie Linder;
Salede Miranda, Mrs Maurice
Moore; Macao, Mrs. Claude Sartor:
Portugese Missions in India in connection
with St. Francis Xavier, first Jesuit
Missionary, Miss Mildred Sraife,
These live minutes,papers are quite instructive
and cover the subject well.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Thomson, on Monday afternoon, De
cember, 21st.
The Every Tuesday Club had a delightful
meeting this week with Mrs. J.
E. Squire. Sixteen members answered
to roll-call. Responses on the "Noted
rreucu women or this Period," anil a
discussion of them was enjoyed.
Mrs. Geo. Wright read her essay on
"The Development of France during the
Valois Period." This Was followed by
the short papers and sketches of the regular
program.
Mrs. Farr gave an account of Charles
V and his Wars.
Mrs. A. II. Foster told of the relation
held by France to the new-found Amercan
colonies, and Mrs. Porter read a
short biography of Du Guesclin.
The conversation was led by Mrs.
Torrence, on the subjects of the Earl y
Chroniclers and The Baatile.
The meeting for next week will be
with Mrs. Torrence.
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.

Mr. Wade Howell Stabbed.
A serious stabbing affair occurred
last Saturday on Main street. G. B.
Scott, of Buffalo, brought up an old
dispute about a cow trade with Mr.
Wade Howell, and during the-'Argument
cursed him outrageously,. A
blow followed, and Scott plunged Bis
knife into Mr. Howell's left side, cutting
a gash about 4 Inches long and
penetffeting the lower end of the
lung. It was first thought that the
wound would prove mortal, but Mr.
Howell is at this writing resting
easily, and his phyfliolan thinks that
if no complications occur he will get
well. Scott is in jail awaiting re-1
raits. - I
