MATTIE TAYLOR HAS PASSED AWAY Died at Her Father’s Home In North Augusta Thurs day. Mrs. Mattie Taylor, the wife of P. C. Taylor, died at the home of her father, Mr. J. J. Spires, in North Au gusta, Thursday morning at 1 o’clock. Mrs. Taylor had been sick about five months. She was 42 years old. She had been a resident of Augusta, but a few years ago Mr. Taylor accepted a position with the Clyde Line, in Charleston and she moved to that place. About a month ago Mrs. Tay lor came to North Augusta in hopes of regaining her health, but she steadily failed and Thursday morning she passed away. The funeral will be from the resi dence of her father Friday morning at 10 o’clock. Rev. Mr. Stokes, of the Methodist church and Rfev. Mr. Lightfoot of the Baptist church will officiate. Mrs. Taylor is survived by a father and mother, her husband, one child and seven sisters: Mrs. A. L. Whitton, Mrs. jj. S. Davidson, of Augusta; Mrs. C. E. Thomson, of Spartanburg, S. C.; Mrs. T. P.

David son, Barnes Evans, J. T. Davidson and Geo. Thomson. Mrs. Taylor was a devout member of the Methodist church. She was a very charitable woman. The friends of the family deeply sympathize with them in their loss. Roosevelt and Legislators Who Oppose Investigation (From the Modern Miller.) The press has had much to say about disappointment at henotar Tillman’s re ply to the president. We wonder what sort of a showing they would iexpoct from a nimble flea on a hot skillet. Evrfv attempt of Tillman to deal the president a blow fell flat and the points which he expected to count against the executive were promtly shattered by the postmaster general and Mr. Bonaparte. Then came Foraker to aid Tillman and his aid under such circumstances was not calculated to inspire confidence in the cause. Millers who had to do with the pas sage of the bill to regfulate commerce are all awar e of the coterie that were in Congress in the interest of corpora tions and not in the Interest of whole some legislation. The old Aldrich band is falling to pieces and Foraker Is one of the pieces. Spooner retired to serve the corporations direct, a more honora ble course than that of Foraker and the coterie. The president has no doubt (suffered much hindrance and handicap In his efforts to administer for all the people. The old guard were In power 'and held the positions of legislative advantage. The Senate was slow to purge itself even after three members from Kansas and the Pacific Coast were convicted for fraud and sent to prison. Foraker and Tillman have Joined the ranks ot Quay and Addlcka and Depew and Platt and Bailey and sundry others, who have sac rificed the confidence of the peopie and belong to the "down-and-out” club. The sympathizers of this political ilk, who recently attempted to blook inves tigation of congressmen, to perpetuate them In undeslreable power, were no doubt a great thorn In the side of the president In his efforts for clean legis lation. They too have made a sorry mess at "getting back.” At the closa of the administration, President Roosevelt could havet rendered the people no greater service than to deal a heavy blow to the policical trick sters, who by the aid of sympathizers, hoped to hide from the public gaze. No honest congressman, and the great mass of our legislators are men of the best type of Integrity, need fear investigation. But the peole have Just learned enough to .enow that a little in vestigation will have a most salutary effect. Roosevelt probably more than any other president, has had to combat detractors, because of his resolute action in meet ing new conditions In commercial life. He has been forced to show up Poult ney Bigelow. Marla and a host of sundry upholders of the old regine,/ such as Chancellor Day; no doubt an unpleasant duty, hut one which will havo.a good effect for years to come. Tear away the mask and let’s se« them as they are. the peopl/» demand, and Theodore Roosevelt has had the courage to do this. Woman is like a diamond with many facets, dear Lady Betty; the imagination of man, the light, produces fnpm them innumerable per mate Mots a*i combinations of color character of woman is compare lively simple, but man Imagines much and attributes it all to her.— London Truth.
