The Columbia, P. C, Register
has the following to say about Mr.
Leo.Wheat, the South's greatest mu
sician :
"If ever an nulience were en
thralled by tbo golden'fetters of rau
die, and transported on the wingB
cf barnony from the real to the
ideal, it wxs that assemblage at the
Presbyterian College for women
last night, which for two hours was
under tho sway of the genius of
Leo Wheat.
It see ma to me that it is some
thing sui generis, without a piural,
a thing apart, one chocen for many.
It embodies tbe (spirit and essence
oftbe old trouvcurs and troubad
ours, in whom were met theanacre
notic, the pastoral and the epic in
music.
That Wheat is a genius I think
no ono will deny, for it would be
absurd to call his 'gift mere talent.
Any schoolboy may possess talent,
for 'talent is that which is in a
man's power ; but genius is that in
v.-hose power a man is' and if uver
a living soul were dominated by
one all absorbing passion and
power of music, Leo Wheat is that
leing.
Wheat ia eccentric verging at
timej towards tho erratic, the fan
tastic but 'there ia no genius with
out a tincture of madness,' and
Wheat, when seated at the piano is
Wheat no longer, but a creature of
dreams a harp to be pinyed on by
any roving bret-z of fancy an
empty vessel to be filfod with every
paening emotion a poet's dumb
soul longing to give utterance to it
eeif.
This may sound like rhapsody,
and perhaps it is ; but I am not yet
from under the spell of Wheat's
magic touch."
"Henry," said she, J"wake up. I

Guthrie was the Populist candi.

free silver, he incurred the bitter
dislike of tlio middle-of-the-road

to carry out the fusion barg liu that
they bad made with the Republicans.
It was Guthrie's influence that
ciiiaed Kiiehin, silver Democrat, to
defeat Settle for Congress m the

popular with the Democrats, and as
they have to hope of electing one of
their on faith, tbey will prefer al
most anybody to Senator Pri (chard,

..iiy srH c timd for what convic
tion their ovio stateninta would

Mr. Bayne most accurately
stated the status i'i sajiug
that mency id eucicr, but tho tj.tu;i
tion in the dry goods trde is un
changed except as to a littio better
feeling.
The bankers are undoubtedly en
tirely satisfied. Business men feei
better becr.use money troubles are at
nn end, but in rofltnting upon the
future it can be seen that ia their
minds there is jujt u little bit o
misgiving about business
It is just a little surprising how
many business men now sny with
einphibis that this eltction and its
results are not yut final. They sty
that the new administration must
take some prompt and effective ac
tion to modify the banking system
to more f ully meet the demands of
the South and West. Most business
men seem to believe that if this h
not done we will have this whole
fight over again, and perhaps with
a different result. Many gold sUtd-
men say ' without reserve that two
new features must be introduced
into our banking system, viz; (lj
more elasticity. S"me means bj
which it will be profitable for banke
to issue notes when there is a de
mand for money, as for moving tii.
crops in season, and eaucdiing the
surplus when the r.eed has pabtJ
and (2) for making other proper!
tht.n securities liutnl on the New
Yoik stock exchange avuilubla fur
loans at banks.
As to the plan of doing thee
thing people differ. Some think the
na'ioual banking system ought to be
preserved but modified. Others
think the present system ought to
be abandoned, repeal the lax on
State basks aud let each State create
its own banking system subject to
some Federal supervision. It is al
ready proposed to hold a convention
in Indianapolis, lud., of represent a
ti yes cf the commercial bodies of the
United Statej to devise a new plan
of barking. The New York Even
ing Past is fuyoring such a conven
tion. It transpires that many men
who lately voted for the go d stand
ard believe that some revision of tin
hanking system is of more inipor
tance now than anjthmg else, and
'hat it is us essential a sequence of
the election as the gold standard
itself is- The great difficulty is to
devise a proper plan, and it ia for
this there is talk now of a conven
tion of commercial bod es.

OUicer W Li liull will pay an
election bet Saturday which is some
what out of the run of ordinary

if McKinley should be elected he
would roll Mr. Haltom from the

Howell plucked from a tree in his

as large as the common barnyard
ben eggs. Verily, this is a fruit
producing country and tropical oli

Col. Shimpoch is well known in

Ilia public career Das not been con
spicuous in tbe county within the
spbero of the younger gtmeratio'
lie was magistrate tor many j pairs
before the war when more eminent
aeryices and henor attached to the
office. In those days tbe subject
formed an efficient ami active mem
ber of the "oort of Pleas and Q lar.
tor sessions, called the coonty court,
which disposed of esses of less
gravity than required the skill of
the Superior court.
He represented the county in the
Legislature in 1835 or there about.
He took the title of Colonel from
the militia service then the exponent
of patriot and chivalric pride He was
one of the founders of N'ortbCtirolios
ColVge mi served in its board of
directors through some of its sever
est crisis and resigned the presi
dency of the board to complete hie
retirement from public charges to
await tbe end of al! liying beings
which was delayed bevond his own
expectation. He was no less a fac
tor in organizirg the Lutheran
church in Mt. Pleasant and of
building that neat and loyely sane
tnary. No canse of Christianity,
education or morality f filled toinlist
his substantial support.
He was successful in bis business
enterprises and was noted for free
dom from anything dilatory. , In
his farming operations ho was al
ways ahead and apparently easy.
He gathered stout him a sufficiency
of this world's goods and for many
yeart bns seemed free, frota care in
that direction.
He married iu his e.trly manhood
Miss Elizabeth Barrier, of the well
known Barrier family in that com
munity by whom he was the father
of Mrp. L G Heilig. Being bereft
of ber by death, he found in Miss
Christina Miller a companion aud
helper till the end of his life. Bj
her he was the father of the late
Mrs. Capt. Cook and Mrs. AC Bar
rier, now the only living member of
his offspring. It was a source of
pleasure to him in his latter years
to view around him his hale,
sprightly and attractive grand chil
dren.
Ths deceased was admonished
about two years ago tbat the begin
ning of the end of life bad come
when he was stricken with paralysis
from which he was ntyer again able
to walk alone. Recently other
strokes haye followed und the end to
which he looked with resignation
aud even cheerful expectation came
us above stated. He celebrated hiB
9ih birthduy ou October the 7tb
with his interesting relatives about
him,
He was buried Saturday in his
Lutheran cemetery lot The funeral
service were conducted by Rev. M
Q G Soberer at 11 o'clocK.
