Henry A. Williams, assistant to the general superintendent of the Southern railway, died at 8:30 o'clock Sunday night at his home in Columbia after an extended illness. Mr. Williams was a man who ll/rarVarl Kio wolf f/v V* nvvt iltO TT uJT tv V/IIC VI tliv JI1VOI responsible positions in the gift of his company by hard, conscientious service. Beginning his railroad career when very young as a messenger, his rise was steady, and at the time of his death he was one of the best known and most influential officials in the railway service in the South. Sketch of Life. Mr. Williams was born at Williamston on October 10, 1861. He entered the services of the old Columbia & Greenville railroad as messenger boy at Hodges in 1872, working there for two years. He then went to work as brakeman, running as such for three years, was pronoted to conductor in 1877, and con:inued in that service for 12 years. 3n February 20, 1889, he was made .rainmaster on what is now the Columbia division, remaining in thav >osition until 1894, when he accepter ;ervice with the old Florida Central Pnninoiilo v J ^ ? * a viuiiouiai lamuaU) ior ut mm ime the Southern was operating its >assenger trains over that line into Savannah. He remained there until December 10, 1896, when he was sent o Durham, N. C., to take a nosition is trainmaster on the line between Jreensboro, N. C., and Norfolk, Va., ind the terminals at Pinners Point, ilr. Williams was transferred to Jreensboro, N. C., during the latter iart of the year, 1897, as trainmaster, le was sent to Norfolk, Va., as sulerintendent of the Norfolk division, emaining there until February 1, 904, being then transferred to this ity, succeeding P. I.

Mr. Williams was the son of Capt. !. N. Williams, a well known raiload man, for years passenger conuctor on the Abbeville branch of the louthern railwnv. <%?

L| Anderson of Anderson. Held Important Position There are many people who will nourn the death of Henry A. Wiliams. He was universally liked by 11 who had the pleasure of knowing im. Among the railroad men he /as a favorite and during his resience in Columbia he endeared himelf to a large circle of friends. He /as a superior railroad man, and that e was held in the very highest eseem by his company is best shown y his rapid rise frorn messenger to | uperintendent, one of the most im- j ortant and coveted position in the ervice.?The State. A Courtship Scene. saw a courting couple The other afternoon; "hey looked as sly and subtle As a couple of old raccoons. fie made as though to kiss her, She screamed and lost her breath, \nd cried out, "Oh dear Mister, You scared me most to death." Fhen he got scared and wilted And fell back in his chair. She saw that she was jilted, And said, "Rise and come again my dear." He rose and came a hoppin' And looked as pleasing as a basket . r ..Li oi mips, And such another poppin* With that two pair of lips. Telephone. Ail Original Ku Klux? John B. Kennedy's death last Friday at Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, ivould have interest only for his relatives and acquaintances, hut the statement made in obituary notices that he was the last survivor of the original Ku Klux Klan. This society, according to a book on the Klan pubished this year by Eyre Darner of Alabama, was composed of six young men of Pulaski county, Tennessee. That county, by the way, continued to be the headquarters of the Klan, even wnun, as an iniL-rsiaie organization, jnder General Forrest, it had a mcmtiership of 550,000. The formation of the Klan in Tennessee was provoked by the corruption of the State government under "Parson" Brownlow. General Forrest testified before the Congressional commission of inquiry that the Klan in Tennessee was "in tended as a defensive organization to offset the Union league," its chief purpose being "to protect ex-Confederates from extermination by Brownlow's militia" and to prevent the burning of residences, gristmills ana cotton ginneries.?The State. SEN/)R B. R. TILLMAN OTHER DAYS AND NOW j Ij Has I the Vigor He Once Had, But t fall Resolute as Ever and Has Great Influence. (Syr-ise (N. Y.) Post-Standard. i1 Eigcn years ago the South Car- i| olina gislature elected Benjamin jj RyaniHman to the United States ij senate Tillman had gained his popularity his state by his rude manners d rough speech?or in spite of th??and came to Washington spitti: defiance at the laws and abusi; the president, who was of his : own rty. He was about as wei- ! comei the senate as a mad dog. j The Jrthern and Western press felt that >uth Carolina had scandalized itselfby the election and a good j manyof the leading Democrats of the ate felt the same way about it. Seitor Tillman has been elected for h fourth term in the senate and no reurning senator will be more geneilly and heartily welcome in Waslngton. He is popular on his own ccount. For Tillman has been chan.ed mightily by his association with the representative men of the senae. A strong man and an able I man. he has been quick to recognize his cvn mistakes and to admit them = He fc as resolute of purpose as ever, as j'.urdy in his convictions, which i are jften repugnant to us of the North, but he has learned charity and temperance, integrity and candor he did not need to learn, for they were his birthright. < Senator Tillman is one of three < senior senators of his party in the upper house, all of whom begin on March 4, their fourth terms of service. The others are Augustus Octavius Bacon, of Georgia, and Thomas Staples Martin, of Virginia. , Senator Tillman will not be so conspicuous in the legislation of the Wilson administration as many of his j associates. Illness and domestic af- f fliction have laid so heavy a hand upon him that he has not the strength for leadership. But he will retain the respect and affection of his fellows. Although he may be for the remainder of his days an invalid, he will still be a greater influence than many senators of stronger body. South Carolina has shown not only gratitude and justifiable pride in keeping Ben Tillman in the senate, but it has shown wisdom. Defeats Train Again.
