Anderson Daily Mail. Congressman Wyatt Aiken, who is member of the house committee on th District of Columbia, said today that a the opening of the next session of con gress he will introduce a bill providing t'o prohibition for the district. Mr. Aiken's position on the district com mittee will give the bill unusual weigh and significant. When asked about his intention toda; by a representative of The Daily Mail Mi Aiken said: "I am on the committee 01 the District of Columbia but have not taken any very active interest in the affairs o the district. "But I have been watching the effect o prohibition in the south, and I have seei that wherever it has been tried it has beei beneficial to to the people. Perhaps it ha not in every case entirely prevented th sale and use of intoxicants, but it has ii all cases been a great deterrent, and I be lieve that if prohibition is good for certaii sections of the country it should be <?oo< for Washington, and "it is my intention t< introduce a prohibition bill for thtf Distric of Columbia and do my best to have it en acted into law. "If prohibition can be enforced any where it should be successfully enforced a the seat of the greatest government 01 earth. I believe if I can succeed in get ting a favorable report from the commit tee that the bill will pass the house. If i ' does pass the house I believe it will ge through the senate all right. Presiden Taft should not balk at a good prohibitioi measure if he can so easily digest the las tariff steal." Newberry Observer. Believing that prohibition in the south wherever it has been tried, has beenibeae flcial to the people. Congressman Wyat Aiken of the Third District of South Caro lina has declared be would introduce a bil for prohibition in the District of Columbh at the next session of congress. Mr. Aik en is a member of the house committee 01 the District of Columbia. "Perhaps prohibition in even" case hai not entirely prevented the sale "and use o k intoxicants," said Mr. Aiken, "but it has ii | all cases been a great deterrent, and I be g lieve if prohibition is good for certain sec tions of the country it should be good fo: Washington. If prohibition can be en forced anywhere it should successful^ enforced at the seat of the greatest gov ernment on eartn." Keowee Courier. Hon. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, is ii Walhalla today shaking hands with friendi here and from the country. He is th same genial, whole-souled fellow he ha ' ever been, but carries with him now a pe culiarly bright smile. The latest additioi tlon to his interesting family is a charm ing little lass, and the Third's big Con gressman is qnite as enthusiastic over th little Miss during his vacation as he is dil igent and painstaking with his duties dut ing the sessions of our National Congress His many friends here are always pleasei to meet him. Congressman "VVyatt Aiken was over las Thursday and Friday. Or course every body here, visitors and all, were glad to see him, and he came about as near know ing every man, woman and child in th orowd as anybody you ever saw. He is i walking directory of the Third Congres slonal district-?Greenwood Index. Pointed Paragraphs(From the Chicago News.) The most popular men of letters are th postmen.

A man must be awfully rich if he can al ford to waste money after he is married. Why He Gave Nothing. "I've encountered many an excuse fo 'sidestepping' the collection basket i church, remarked a Jersey commute] "but the prize excuse came to me last Sur day out in our town. Next to me in churc sat an acquaintance who had taken out dollar bill ;but when he saw the collectc was a substitute for the regular brother, h > ' put the money back in his pocket. I taxe him with it good naturedly on the way ou and he was very frank. "You needn't publish it,' said he, but know that man pretty well. Now, I happe to owe him $5, and he's been dunning m J unnecessarily for it. I know him so we that I know If I put that dollar bill In th basket he'd find a way to abstract It an pocket it as part of what I owe him. An he'd really feel he was justified, too.

The woman quite ove joved at so simple a remedy, stricti followed the counsel given her, and by hi M silence escaped the usual annoyance.

I ; In all her lettei^ and writings Mary An- j derson da Navarro's fondness for the ( I friends of ber early days is dearly shown. t Tn rITVio T.n/Haa' Rnmn .Tnnrnnl chn rerinllfl Borno of those who have passed away, no- j tably Booth, Manager Macao ley, John T , Ford, aud thus records her meeting with , and estimate of General Grant: "It was , i during my delightful southern tour (the , I first) that Dr. Griffin presented me to Gen- | eral?then President?Grant, whom he i . had known In old soldiering days, when , > the general bad oaptured and Imprisoned < . him. It was pleasant to see these enemies ; in war so friendly In times of peace. Kind- J . liness and simplicity were marked traits , of the president, while a certain rugged- | ness of manner and speech that was suggestive of bis earlier life gave an additional Interest to all be said and did. In show- , Ing us over the White House his pleasure , in pointing out various trophies was un- , , disguised and boyish. While lnnoblng , with him, the natural way in whloh be brought himself down to the level of my youth and small experience of life without a touch of that visible condescension so > annoying to the young was charming." Meeting him somo years after, and failing to recognize him, Mrs. de Navarro records , ' that after his speaking to her and an- { - nounclng himself as General Grant, before i she recalled him, he said jokingly in rer spouse to her oonfused utteranoe that be . bad "soebanged:" " Yea, I have grotai . thinner and paler; I am no longer preoif dent, you see, and am consequently less > banqueted." I "It was about this time that my friend- , i ship with General Sherman also began," - writes Mrs. de Navarro. "He was one of , the few eminent men I have met whose , Interest in every subject of conversation j - was so great that his particular metier , > could not have been guessed. He knew J , much about the stage, Shakespeare and { ? fchfl drama cunerallv and was a passionate , lover of the arts, thinking them all worthy of equal regard. As a critic he was good, though perhups too enthusiastic over any , excellence, however small, if genuine en- i bhusiasm can be called a fault. Hi# man' ner was brisk and hearty. His personality , gave the impression of a rugged strength, bo much so that his entrance into a room was like a breath of fresh, invigorating ' air. He scorned fear and discouragement of every kind and refused to allow any ' one to give way to either." j <aTb? Knock Out" at Auctions. ] There are, we all suppose, in a certain j ) sale half a dozen "lots" of choice old , ) ohina. Four first class dealers In this ! I property attend the auction. Call them , A, B, C and D. It is mutually arranged that A shall do the bidding and the remalning three keep silent. We will sup, pose, with a view to simplicity, that each of these six lots is worth to a dealer ?i, but as our four friends are probably the i only persons in the room who could dist. pose of such property and who understand I its value, and as they refrain from competing, it is not at all surprising to find that the six lots are bought by A at the rate ot 10 shillings apieoe. So much for the Urst stage In the plot. ) The sale being conoluded, A, B, G and D forgather at some obscure publio house, where thev can have the use of a private room, and then begins the second auction. . Lot No. 1 Is offered, and after some competition is allotted to C, for, let us Bay, ?3 10s. He pays over this sum to A, who acts as auctioneer, and who, after deduct; ing the 10 shillings he has paid for the , lot, proceeds to divide the balance of ?3 among the members of the party. Consei quently C gets his piece of china for ?8 108. and 15 shillings back into the bar: gain, while the others eaoh receive a like . amount. So with the next lot*, whioh D r buys for more or lesj, as the case may be, , and, in fact, the procedure as quoted may i . serve as an illustration of how the affair is conducted throughout. ?

When a boy, in. the Pyronees, I onco drank from a ipring and saw, to my horror, when I had already swallowed a mouthful, that the water was alive with small leeches. I had a bad time of it for two or three days. I firmly believed I had leeches alive and ; suoking my blood inside me. I felt them. 1 I beoame languid. I believed thay would drain my blood away. Happily my father 1 beard what was the matter with me and 1 [ explained to me the corrosive nature of ' i the gastrlo fluid and assured me that noth- 1 - Ing living and of the nature of a leech 1 j could resist it. "My dear boy," said he, ' "from personal observation of your pro- ' I ceedlngs at mealtime I am convinced you ' could digest a pair of boots, and no leeches j ?nnH cknnH a moment asainst the force of your gastric fluid." I believed him and ' forgot all about my imaginary malady.?

There can be no question tbat,annaf regular habits are healthier, happier,'Uve longer and do more than those whoobey caprice and impulse. The adoption ot bygienio habits saves the nervons -system an enormous amount of friction aind waste. ' It preserves vitality. Regularity economises not only pbysioal stamina, bat.time as well. The man wrha knows no system In the details of bis life, who CTbaasts-yiature at the instanoe of a passing whim, who drinks and smokes to excess, who wastes the talents bestowed upon blip, if the one who must sooner or la tar fall a victim to disease. Regularity and moderation in all things should be the motto oi life,, and It should be remembered that regularity does not neoessarily predate the enjoyment of variety. A certain amount of variety prevents man from becoming a mere machine, but variety should not interfere with those regular habits of life which are necessary to the maintenance of health.?New York Ledger. A Puzzled Author. The San Francisco -Argonaut tells an amusing story about Aiphonse Damlel When be brought out "Sappho," an American publishing bouse that lssuesrellglout books, not knowing its chamoter, offered M. Daudet a large sum for advanoe sheets of the work. He acoepted the after, and t the advanoe sheets were sent. When the publishers received them, they decided that they could not Issue the book, and tbey cabled to the author, " 'Sappho* will not Jo.' This dispatch puzzled DaUdet He nnmhm of friends, and UVUOU1VVU TV*V** w p. this was tbe conclusion at which thqjr Bventually arrived: "Sappho" in Frenoh Is spelled with one"p"?"Sapbo," after the Greek fashion. In English ft is spelled with two. An unmo&lly aoate friend pointed this out to Daudet, whioh much relieved the novelist, and he oabled back to the publishers, "Spell it with two p'a." [t is needless to state that tbe.pqblisheH were more astonished at Daudet's reply than he had been at their cable dispatch. "Japanese Journalism," says a mlssfoulry's wife, "Is a singular profession la many of its features. There Is practically qo suoh thing as freedom of th* press in Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes jomething unfriendly to the government It Is suppressed and the editor Is sent to prison. The real .editor is never lmprls)ned, though. Every newspaper has what She Japanese call a 'dummy editor,'and It Is his sole duty to go to jail every time the paper is suppressed for offending the mikado. Then the real editor changes the Dame of the paper and keeps on publishing it. Dummy editors spend most of their ilnae In prison." Biff Egt*.
