HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE Now that I lie Chautauqua has come autl erone there is nrobablv | not one croaker in town who will say the community was not benefitted by the entertainment* To place the smallest estimate posible on the whole enterprise we must admit that we have had three days of wholesome amuse i ment, such as could not have beeu had by any other means. To make this point more convincing we have hut to remind oui readers of the other big attrac tion that visited Chester eld last fall?Billy Collins. Poor Billy was the best we could do until a group of liberal wide-awake citizens put up the money to bring this excellent institution to our town. Lest you forget to whom you are indebted we here repeat the roll of honor: Kinsley Arm held, 0. L. Hunley, H* M. Odom, W. i !(J White, Jr., 1) P.

It seems that Mr. Von Meyer, former secretary .of the navy, has been saying ugly things about the pr. s ent management of the navy, lie said in effect that there was a lack of brains in the department as now ma* aged. Senator Tillman handles the ex-Secretary without gloves and tells some startling truths about the mismanagement of Von Meyer. There were during Von Meyer's control of the navy department 10.15150 desertions and when he turned the department over to his sucessor the navy was short C'tOO men, yet ho blames Secreteary Daniels for not having more men. Senator.. Tillman says of Von Meyer "He has thei rUionlr r> 1 w\l#1 nio ? I v.n.vu vv# U'/IVJ alio aUwUCASUI !U spousib'e for conditions which arc duo wholly to liis own short comings as Secretary." Senator Tillman says "I predict that .Josephus Daniels will go down in history as one of the , greatest Secretaries the navy has ever had." Senator Tillman then paid this high and dose, ved compliment to J Samuel McGowau, of South Ca-j I roliua, who holds a responsible! position iu the navy department: "At the head of the bureau of | Supplies and Accounts as Paymaster General is a young man from my own State, Samuel Mc-' Cowan. I would rot brag on a South Carolinian unless he deserved it, but without his con-' sent or knowledge 1 invite any Senator to visit his bureau at any time and if he can show me, wherein it is not the most efficient Government service to-day,' excepting none, 1 will apologize for my rematks iu regard to Mr. Meyer and everybody knows 1iow I would hat: to do that." Senator Tillman seems to have lost none of his old time vigor.

An old husbaudman. being a witness, was asked if lie heard the defendant call the plaintiff a law yer. "I did," was the reply. "Pray," said the judge, "what is your opinion of the import of the word?" "There can be no doubt of that," replied the fellow. "Why. good man," said the judge, "there is no dishonor in the name, is there?" i "I know nothing about that," an- k swered he. "hut this I know?if a man called me a lawyer I'd knock him down."
