Appeal of the Mayors for thc Amend ments. To the Tours of South Carolina : ? At thc last Session cf our Genem* Assembly, through the efforts of our respective Senators and Representa tives, the following Amendment to the Constitution of our State waa passed by the requisito majority of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and will be submit toil to von at the Cr?nerai Klaatio? m the 6th of November next: "A joint1, resolution proposing to Amend Seo tion 7, Artiolo VIII, of the Constitution, Relating to Muni cipal Bonded Indebtedness. SECTION ?. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That the following Amend ment to Seotion 7, pf Article VIII, of the Constitution, bo agreed to: Add at the end thereof fclto f??ew?Eg word?: Provided, That the limitation imposed by this Section and by Seotion 5, Ar ricie IV. of thin f!nnafcit,n*.io?!, shall oot apply to bonded indebtedness in curred by the cities of Columbia, Kock Hil!, Charleston, Florence, wbere the proceeds of said bonds are applied solely for the purchase, estab lishment, maintenance or increase of water works plant or sewerag? system; and by the oity of Georgetown, when thc proceeds of said bonds ai 3 applied solely for the purchaso, establishment, maintenance or increase - of water works plant, sewerage System, gas and clectrio light plants, where, the entire revenue arising from the . operation of such plants or systems shall bo devo ted solely and exclusively to the maintenance and operation of the same, and where the question of in curring 8uoh indebtedness is' submit ted to the freeholders and qualified voters of such munioipalty, as provid ed in the Constitution, upon the ques tion of other bonded indebtedness." Approved the 19th February, A. D. 1900. ... We believe if the vital importance of this Amendment to our cities was understood by you, there would be no doubt of its being adopted by an over whelming majority. Fearing thai you may not appreciate the imperative necessity of giving our municipalities the opportunity of de ciding, oaoh one for itself, whether we should increase our respective debts for the sole purposes above named, we appeal to you to give us this right of choice. All must realize that without an abundant supply of water, suitable for all purposes, and without a proper system of sewerage, which Cannot be made efficient without this water sup ply, the growth and the health of any municipality must be seriously impar ed. We believe there is no other meas ure or project posciblo, for the ad vancement of our cities, that eau com pare in importance with an abundant water supply and a proper system of sewerage, and without these, in our opinion, they cannot advance in pros perity or population as they should do. Section 13, of Artiole 2, of the Con stitntion of South Carolina, adopted December 3, 1895, provides: SECTION 13. In authorizing a spec ial election in any incorporated oity or town in this State for the purpose Of bonding the same, the Genoral As s Mably shall prescribe as a condition precedent to the holding of said eleo tion a petition from a majority of the freeholders of said oity or town as shown by its tax books, and at such elections all electors of such city or town who are duly qualified for voting under Seotion 12 bf this Artiole, and who have paid all taxes, State, Gonn ty and Municipal, for the previous year, shall be allowed to vote; and vote of a majority of those voting in said eleotion shall be necessary to au tho;izo tho issue of said bAndo. And Seotions V and VII of Artiole VIII of the Constitution confirm and re iterate the same provisions. You will see therefore that tho adoption of this Amendment will not commit any of our communities to an issuance of bonds, or to municipal ownership, bat will only confer upon us a po uer in these respects that'we do not now possess. And the conferring of this author! ty, in the event that other plans pro 'c impracticable or undesirable for pro curing for us these vital essentials to our very life and g?o-ih, will be un der these most ample safe-guards pro v?ded by the Constitution of tho State. The Constitution as quoter! above now wisely surrounds this question c increasing the d<.bt of any muuioipali ty with such provisions and limitations as require the consent of a majority of both the real estate owners and of tho qualified voters in each plaoo to any issuance of additional municipal bonds. The aracui'xnont submitted to your votes recognizes and repeats that Con stitutional provision.* Should this Amendment bo adopted by the voters of ike Stile, and ap proved by our next General Assembly, neither of our oities can iesne a single bond nor increase their bowie* debt a single dollar, by any action whatov <r of cur Municipal Authorities, un less and uutil in each city, first, "a majority of the freeholders" petition those authorities to order a special election, and at that special election a "iueJorUy of the qualified electors'* vote to issue these bonds xor the spe cial purposes named in the Amend ment, and for no other, purpose v/hut floover, Unless this Constitutional Amend ment is adopted, "tho freeholders ?n4 the qualified voters" io neither of our cities era have the privilege or option bf issuing bonds fer . the purpose of acquiring these necessities, so essen tial to health, Hie and prosperity, oven if all "the freeholders and all the qualified voters" were unanimous in their desire to do so. ' . We therefore appeal to you, our fol io v?-citizona, to help us seoure by your votes for the adoption of this Amendment, the right te decide for ourselves, subject to the limitations of the Constitution of South Carolina, above set forth, these blessings so es sential te our growth and prosperity, which our own people are praying for, and a prayer, Which, we feel sure, our fellow South Carolinians will not suf fer to pass unheeded.

It is noth ing less than a setter dog and a dozen quail, all frozen, and in the attitude usually ?SHrimed by birds and dogs when brought into dose quarters in the woods. The exhibition occupies the entire shop window and has attracted much attention though t7 e warmer weather may spoil it soon. The dog belonged to Judge William Green. During the very cold weather just after the beginning of February Green took a young setter out to the woods to give him an outing, thinking be might seo a few birds and further the work of training the setter. He took no gun. It was the closed season for birds. While going op a valley between Peterson's mountain and a short ridge, where it was extremely cold on aooount of the sharp wind, Judge Green miss ed the dog. He hunted for half an hour, but could find no trace of the animal. He returned home, thinking the animal bad preoeded him, but the animal was not there. Nothing was seen of the dog until Thursday, when the judge went back into the moun tains to make another search. In the thicket where the deg had last, been seen, but seo uroly hidden by the evergreens, the judge discovered the animal, standing, with his nose pointed fairly ahead and as natural as if alive. Half a dozen yards away was about a dozen quail, ?ll of them frozen. The setter chad 'scented the birds and stood waiting for his master to como. The dog, JU his instinctive effort to locate the game for his master, and the quail, in their fear to move in the dog's presence, had all f roz n to death. There had been no thawing weather under the lowering brow of the moun tain since tho day tho animal met the quail. The judge gathered up tho frozen dog and quail, brought them to town and placed them on exhibition. -JV. Y. Herald. Language Taught by Machinery.

A Georgian's Tale of Woe. WASHINGTON, Ootober 25.-Secre tary Long to-day received a remarka ble ?c?i?r from a Georgia man camed ?, JR. Brown. It begins by saying that the Secretary will probably not remember the writer, never having seen him, bat the writer remembers the Secretary well, having often seen hiss when Mr. Long was Governor of Massachusetts. In view of this ac auaintancQ thu ^writnr bop-5 that Mr. Long will grant tho Alight favor he asks. Mr. Brown then relates that he left Massachusetts six years ago and sot tied in Georgia, where he married a Southern woman. "This," says Mr. Brown, referring to his marital adven ture, "is the cause of my complaint." Ile says hi? wife, desiring to pleasant ly surprise him by adding to the house hold treasury, entered into correspon dence with one of the New Yoik con cerns whioh advertise "Pleasant em nloynifftit for Indina nt linnio " Thia oonoern offered to pay large sums for having ?names copied*. Mrs. Brown oommunioated with them and was told that she must pay $2.95 for an outfit. Sho sent the money, got the "outfit," CGpicd tho Di??co, M&d asked for her pay She was told that the names wer? copied, wrong and that, noy way, the company had an agent in her County, and did not need two. "Then why did they not tell her so before?" argues-Mr. Brown. "The thing is . fraud. I could have told her so if she had asked mo before, but you know how women are, Mr. Secretary; they always wast to surprise their hus bands." He oonoludes by asking Mr. Long to make a personal matter of it and foroe the concern to give up the $2.95. He explains thai Mr. Long, is the only Cabinet officer or other high cfuuia! he has ever aeen, and he feels that this gives him a certain claim on him. Be sides, h'e says, he originally oame from Massachusetts. ' . "I am afraid that the lady's well meant effort to surprise her husband," said Mr. Long, "bas resulted in some painful domestic scenes." Left His Home a Rauper, Returned a Mil lionaire. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The Herald has the following Berkeley Springs, Va., special: James Adams has returned from the Klondike. He has also created a sen sation by his spectacular arrival. When he left hero three years ago he went with nothing, and on a freight train. He returned yesterday in a private car, drawn by a leased locomotive, and brought with him$150,000 ingold and paper representing mining possessions valued hy him at $5,000,000. When he returned from the North two years ago he had borne gold a ad good prospects, but after he had gone baok to the Klondike he did not write home. No one was prepared for his present return. In Detroit he became weary of traveling in ordinary trains and took the finest oar he could get. He returned leisurely and stopped at Niagara Falls and New York. When he reached Brunswick he leased a locomotive to come over tho branch line to Berkeley Springs. When he arrived at tho station there was muoh surprise. His ten big trunks wore hauled to his father's house and $150,000 in gold was taken to ?ho bank. A year ago he bought for his parents a fine farm, and yesterday he gave his father $20,000 to build a house upon it. James Adams is about twenty-two years old. He has appointed two young friends, who went to the Klon dike with bim, but could not endure the climate, his agents here at high salaries. He will hot return to the Klondike until spring, and says he will devote the winter to realizing how it feels to be a millionaire. Ile tells stories of hardships, and says that generally speaking big success in tho Klondike is comparatively rare. m I r I HEADACHE is only a symptom-not a disease.

A drunkard ia New Orleans was re cently saved in a peculiar manner from continuing hi? career of dissi pation. Tho young man in question, says an exohasge, was of a fine family and had splendid gifts, but was going down as fast as it was possible for a man to go through strong drink. His friends had pleaded with him, but he had taken their warnings as an insult. Cs? day Ouu of them, who was a shorthand writer, determined to try a new tack with him. He was sitting at a restaurant one evening, whoo, the yoong man in question carno in with a oompanion and took tho table next to him, sitting derra with h:s back to him, and not seeing him. He was just drunk enough to be talkative about his private affaire, and on tho impulse of thc moment the stenogra pher pulled out bis notebook and took a full shorthand report of evory word ho said. It was the usual mauldio folly of u juuug man with his bram muddled by drink, and inoluded a number of highly candid deta?B of his daily life-things that when ho was sober he would as soon have thought of putting his hand in the fire as ol speaking about to a oasual acquaint ance. The next morning the stenographei oqpied the whole thing neatly and sent it round to the young man's office. Ii less than ten minutes he came tearing io v?Ha his eyes fairly starting out ol their sockets. "Charley," he gasped, "what it this, anyhow?" "Its a stenographic report of youi monologue it the restaurant laet even ing," his friend replied, and gave bin a brief explanation. "Did I really talk like that?" h< asked, faintly. "I assure you it is an absolute ver batim report," was the reply. The young man turned pale and walked out. He never drank anothei drop. There ?re many men who woulc cease not only the sin of drunkenness but other sins as well, if they could see themselves as other people sec them._ - Two Irishmen while crossing i bridge saw a sign announcing that anj one saving a life would receive $5. 01 $2 for recovering a dead body.
