X RACHEL'S EXPERIMENT. > "I wouldn't have believed it of you, j Rachel," said Mrs. Edmonstone plain- i tively. "No, I wouldn't, nV unless Betsy Tacker, the manty maker, had told me; and Betsy she neycr-tblcl a lie no more than George Washington did." "Why, mother, what are you talking 1 about?' Questioned Mrs. Thomas Edmon stone, untying the elder lady's bonnet strings and relieving her of a splint basket, a black silk bag, a waterproof cloak and an umbrella. "And I've come to see if it's true," added the old lady. "If what's true, mother?" "That you said yon wished there wasn't no such person as m?me!" faltered Mrs. Edmonstone. "Mother, you know I never could have said such a thing," cried out Rachel. "Well, it wasn't quite exactly that; but Betsy Tacker she heard you say you wished there wasn't no such thing a9 a mother-in-law." - i r-k _ v _ ? !at. _ l a : 1 "uai cnea xtacnei, wnu a uysienctu little laugh, "I plead guilty. I did say that. But, oh, mother! it was under such strong provocation, and 1 never meant you. How could 1, when you have always?always been so good to me?" "I knew it couldn't be true," said Mrs. Edmonstone, setting herself in the easiest rocking chair and nodding her cap strings comfortably. "But how came you to make that ex-tra-or-dinary speech. Rachel, about mothers-in-law in general?" "It was Tom," said the young wife. "He was so aggravating!" "Thomas always was aggravating," said Mrs. Edmonstone, stirring the cup of tea that Rachel had brought her. "And what was it about now? The breakfast cakes?" "Oh, you remember about the breakfast cakes, don't you?" said Rachel, with merry mischief sparkling in her eyes. "No, it wasn't the breakfast cakes this time; it was the shirts." "The shirts!" "Well, you know he said it was such a wasteful, extravagant proceeding to buv shirts ready made," explained RacheL "He said the linen was poor, and the work regular slop shop style, and he declared you always used to make his shirts at home, every stitch, before ho was married." "So 1 did," ad^rovledged Mrs. Edmonstone, with that was in the old times^^^J^^^fe^could buy J* W*' P? ' B "jiwwwiwj^y in times andrTGSf toms," sighed^pichel. "He wanted home made shir^, and home made shirts he would have!" "And you made 'em?" "Yes, I made them." "You were a great goose," reflectively spoke Mrs. Edmonstoue. "And?and Tom swore dreadfully the first one he put on" "I don't in the least doubt it." "And he said they set like weal bags, and that they twisted his neck around as if he had just been hanged, and grasped him on the shoulders like a policeman! Oh, I can't tell you what lie didn't say!" "Bless me!" said Mrs. Edmonstone. "He told me his mother's shirts set like a glove, and fitted him perfectly? and why couldn't 1 turn out a shirt like those? And it was then, mother dear," suddenly flinging her arms around the old lady's plump, comfortable neck, "that 1 lost my head, and told him I wished there wasn't such a thing as a mother-in-law in the world! And Betsy Tacker sat in the sewing room altering over mv dolman in the spring s tyle, and I suppose she must have heard me." "Don't mind it, my dear," said Mrs. Edmonstone. "No, 1 won't," protested Rachel. "But, oh, those shirts! I've been ripfVtnrrt orvorf on/" cannnf* f/v. yiiig tiiciu a^ai v a.iu ot cjli^XXA LV gether again, and rounding off a gusset here and taking in a plait there, until I've got so that 1 djrearn of 'em at night, and the more I try 'em 011 the worse they fit, and the more unreasonable Tom becomes. 'My mother never made such work of it as this!' says he." "Thomas forgets," observed Mrs. Edmonstone severely. "And I'm sure if things gv> on like this," added Rachel, pushing her short brown curls off her forehead, "it'll em\ in a separation on account of 'incompatibility of temper.'" "No, it won't, my dear," said the mother-in-law. Here, get me the pattern and some shirting muslin and a pair of scissors." "What are you going to do, mother?" eagerly questioned Rachel. "I'm going to make Tom a shirt. But don't you tell him, Rachel. We'll see whether it's Tom or the pattern that has altered." Once more the mischevious light came into Rachel's bright blue eyes. "I wish all the world was mother-inlaws," she cried gleefully. "Why, why didn't I think of this before?" "One can't think of everything, child," said Mrs. Edmonstone consolingly. Thomas Eraondstone welcomed his mother cordially when he came home froin business. "I'm so glad you've come," said he. "We can have some of the nice old fashioned dishes now. Rachel can't seem to get the hang of them, although she has always had your book of recipes to guide her." "Rachel's a good deal better cook than ever I pretended to be," said Mrs. Edmonstone. "They have patent egg beaters and cream whippers and raisin seeders, and all that sort of thing, now that they didn't have in my day. I never tasted nicer bread than Rachel makes, and these popovers are just delicious." "You're just saying that to encourage Rachel," said Mr. Edmonstone, with an incredulous smile. "Things will run smooth now you've come. That's one comfort." "Oh, 1 shouldn't think of interfering in Rachel's kitchen," said the old lady. "Please do, mother," coaxed the wife, not without a certain quiver in her lip. "Do let Tom have a reminiscence of the old days while you are here." "Well, just as you children say," conceded the mother-in-law good huinorediy. She remained a week at her son' house, during which period of time Toi was all esultant complacency. "This," said he, "is something lik living. I feel myself a boy again whe I taste these apple fritters." "They're not bad," said Rachel, wh had made them with her own skillfr hands. And she helped herself to a lit tie of the sauce. "And why don't you learn my motfc er's knack of making such pie crust a this?" demanded Torn. "There is n dyspepsia here!" "I'm glad you're pleased." said Rache with a guilty glance at her mother-ir law. "Oh, by the way, Tom, the last of th set of shirts is finished now. Will yo put it on to-morrow?" j' "I suppose so," ungraciously uttere Tom. "Will set like fury, I dare saj i like *11 the rest of them!" "You might at least give it a trial." "Didn't I say I would?" still more ur j graciously. "Those shirts will be th j death of me yet." he added turning t S his mother with a groan, while Rach* ! sat steadily observing the pattern of th table cloth. The breakfast sat smoking on the 11 bio next morning when Mr. Edmonston came into the room twisting himself s if he were practicing to be a huma j corkscrew. Mrs. Edmonstone glance j timidly up at him. | "Don't it fit, Tom?" she questioned. "Fit! Just look at it, will you?" he n torted. "Fit! Hangs like a window cu; j tain around my neck?pinches my wrisi | like a pair of handcuffs! 1 feel as if ! were in a strait jacket"?writhing in I onil f-rn "(Th rmir/hthftV I'aui&liViJ ivy c?iiu 1.XV* V/Uf * ?%? % | known it beforehand?you haven't a j idea what the word fit means.

"Thomas," said Mrs. Edmonstor 1 solemnly, transfixing him with ti j glistening spheres of her spectac] I glasses, "you're not very polite. I mad ; that shirt." "You, mother!" "Yes, 1 myself. Just as I used t , make shirts for you in the olden tim< ! that you're always sighing after. I'\ ; been working at it ever since I've bee j in the house.

Judge Haskell's Theory. * } From the Greenville News. 1 Judge A. C. Haskell tided to defeat J Tillman and the Tillman men beat s him in the Democratic party. ^ He tried to organize a bolt among the anti-Tillman men and he was out voted and beaten in two conferences. He called a meeting to be comj posed of men who he thought ; would act with him and his call i gathered 1G8 men, representing j twenty of thirty-live counties. 1 j Seven tenths of the Democrats of j the State favored Tillman. Of the a j remaining thrc '-tenths three-fourths ' ! favored standii 2T by the nominations. Judge Haskell's theory evidently is that he and his little faction contain j all the wisdom, courage and patiro3 tism there is in South Carolina: that i the remainder of the white populaj tion is unworthy of confidence and 3 cannot be entrusted with the keeping 7 of the State. s He proposes to assum that work ! with a small fraction of the white i men of the State?including few who 1 j have heretofore been prominent in s | peace or war?and the mass of the 7 ; black vote. . A vote for Haskell is a vote of r ) want of confidence in the ability of t the white race to govern itself and - the State. It is a vote to appeal 1 from the white man as a failure to 1 the blac1 7ote for redress of griev& ances and relief from dangers not 3 yet present. 1 A vote for Haskell is a vote to establish in South Carolina?at the 1 best?the rule of a few whites des potically controlling us with the t massed black vote.

To Your State and Yourself by Supporting the Democratic Ticket. Haskell and All Other Independents Should be Taught a Lesson? Everv Democrat Should Constitute Himself a Committee of one to See that His Neighbor Votes the Regular Ticket. The nomination of another State ticket in Columbia on the 9th instant brings us upon a great political crisis. We now have brethren ar- ) rayed against brethren, Anglo Saxon energy, brain, and courage, am ed against Anglo Saxon energy, brain and courage. At no time since 1860 have we seen the intelligent white men of our State in political hostilities; and this fight is fraught with i the greatest consequences 011 account of the great danger with which we are alwavs confronted here of being again subjected to the rule of men who have neither the greatest intel- j ligence nor even a respectable minor part of the wealth of the State. It goes with the saying that the welfare of the State rests in the Democratic party. Both the Till- j man and Haskell tickets call them- j selves Democrats, and in political faith have been Democrats, but they cannot both be nominees of the Democratic party. The nomination of the Tillman ticket must have been by the Democratic party, because it was made by a call under party law. legularly organized, and the Executive Committee are now peacefully, lawfully and, by proper succession, in possession of the records and treasury of the party. The Haskell ticket has been nominated by a convention of gentlemen called without party authority and outside of party organization and party machinery, and, being thus nominated, they must be Independents so far as party rule and law go. Democrats in political faith they may be and doubtless are, but they are now Independent Democrats. We concede to every man the right to ! withdraw from his party and join another, or set up one for himself, but we cannot see any good that may , now or henceforth come to this State from such action. These Independ'1 3 ents are men 01 Dram ana socuu position and cannot be driven from | their position by abuse. They are 9:mply mistaken in their notions of loyalty to the State, and instead of 1 feeling resentful toward them we should pity their short sightednetp . and error and show them by our ex ample Southern ^Dgaocrats 1 political crises. No good can come from Independent movements, but they will come into the body politic, chaos, instability, unprincipled men, discordant political principles and a breaking up of the financal and industrial fabric of the whole commonwealth. And wh it is it all fo. ? Becaut e. au cat* Tillman ic npvcnnallv nn. , V^V-J t J pleasant and uncouth, and because he has charged the State government under the party with fraud and mismanagement. I ask if these Indei pendent gentlemen, who have herctoi fore been considered the flowers of , South Carolina chivalry and patriotism, will endanger the polical status of the party, the commercial and manufacturing of the State simply because they do not like Tillman, or because he has said things untrue? Can our Governor make laws for the State? Can he control the Legislature? But why nominate other State officers if Tillman is the only man tvbo lias done wrong! It is useless to multiply words. Indejtendentism, even if it comes through the best people of the State, cannot and must not be tolerated. Have we come to this that threefourths of the white people of our State cannot say who must be the | nominees of the party without this fearful stab? Never! But be sure that every man goes to the polls quietly on the 4th of November and show Col. Haskell and his followers that a majority of the white men of this State shall and will rule, and we must beat him so badly that 110 man will ever agaiD dare to raise his head as an Independent in this State.

You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good a thing it is.

If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a couerh. cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial. It is guaranteed every time, or money refunded. Trial bottle at any drugstore. . . Haskell Then and New. In 1887 Judge A. C. Haskell and other leading men of the State were called on for their opinions regarding a bolt in the municipal election in Charleston, The following is what Judge Haskell then said: "I am shocked to see this thing. An Independent movement m Charleston is not only treachery to that city, but to the State, and if I successful would be repudiated by the State. If for the sake of personal dislike to leaders, the Independents ruin the party which is the White Man's party, and the party of con| servative and intelligent colored pecj pie of the State, they will be con I i ?Li?c j viciiiiicu uj ttii tile ptfupie ui me OLiitf; tliey will be condemned by all the people of South Carolina as traitors, not only to their own interests but to j the interests of the entire State. "This movement is leading back to the condition of affairs from which they were rescued in 1876, and if they get back to it the people of the State will not help them out of it. In South Carolina it is not a matter of local issues or personal preference; it is a matter of" life and death. "There is only one way by which we can hope to maintain honest government, and every true citizen is bound to adhere to that, whatever 11ID ULSIXIIUJUO U1 J^?C1 BUlia UX XWCJli questions; and the way is to obey tlie voice of the majority of the Democratic party. If he does not he is a deserter, and shold be so treated."' The First Step.
