M'SWEENEY ADDRESSES THE PEOPLE, Thanks His Friends for the Support Given Him. FullowiDg the receipt of the returns from the first primary election, Governor McSweeney issued the following addresr: To the People of South Carolina: Fully appreciating the large vote I received in the primary on Tuesday as a strong endorsement of my administration, I desire to express to my friends my sincere acknowledg ment for the support given. The battle is to be fought over again be tween Col. Hoyt, the prohibition candidate, and myeeif on Tuesday, September 11. The vote on Tuesday showed that the sentiment of the State is against prohibition by statutory enactment, and in favor of the dispensary as the best solution of the liquor question. While fully persuaded that this is true, yet I do not rest my claims entirely on the liquor question, because there are other issues of as far reaching importance. I have felt it my privilege as well as my duty, to ask my fellow citizens to endorse my administration by giving me a full term, and I have rested my claims on the record of my administration. It has been my earnest endeavor to discharge the duties of the office faithfully and impartially and to follow do lead but that of duty. My efforts have been to give the people a business administration, free from politics, because this is peculiarly a business age. In how far success has crowned my efforts the question is submitted to the business men of the State. There has been good feeling among ail the people of the State and I have contributed what I could as chief executive to that end. There is no reason for our people to bo divided into hostile camps, for such a course would retard the material development and progress of the State. The charge that the dispensary law has not been enforced has been answered fully by me on every stump in South Carolina. It is better enforced than since it Las been on the statute books, and it has been en forced with fewer constables, wi h less expense and without friction or bloodshed. It should be remembered that the charge of non enforcement comes largely from tbose who oppose the law and want to see it overthrown, and who are no more in favor of prohibition than the dispensary, but are endeavoring to use prohibition with which to kill the dispensary. T - tt <-.? o t . fnl ff,r 1 Vie. hpftrt v X ULLt VJcr^.j J support given me by tbe people of the eDtire Statr; and as to Charleston, my desire is that the people of that city shall feel that they are an irn portant part of tbe commonwealth, and Charleston, being the metropolis of the State, her citizens should be in bubiDess and commercial touch with every section in South Carolina. % S \ V I V 1 r4 102O MAIN STI 7jLi Solicits a S! ir J V 11 feel that the support given me in iChaileston aDd Columbia is the support of business men and those who j endose a business administration aEd \ are tired of eternal bickerings and j ' snarlings and captious fault findirg j The educational issue has been over shadowed by that of liquor, and i it is well to say that my record for the common schools and the State ! colleges has always been positive and j for their hearty support. I may say, i incidentally and modestly, that I am ( no recent conveit to the support of the higher educational interest of the I State, but stood there when they needed friends in the senate and house of repiesentatives. I have m:>de no deals but have held myeelf free to follow the path of duty, and rather than have my hands tied by deals and combinations, I I okniil.l nrtfur OUUU1U V I VtVAVMW* In makiDg appointments it has been my endeavor to select men of character and tfficiency. Believing in local self government in all local i matters, the counsel and advice of the senators and representatives from each county have been sought. I believe the people, recognizing the justice and fairness of giving my administration the endorsement I seek, will give me a hand?ome ma-j jority on the 11th of September. My friends should not become over confident, however, because there Is almays daDger in over confidence. If they turn out and vote, success is assured, and aside from my personal interests, it is of the utmost importance that there be a free and firil btilot in the second primary. M. B. McSWEENEY.

The late Bishop IIow of Wakefield, England, in his "Notebook," gives some j ignificant instances of the hazy ideas i vhich children often obtain from care- i ?ss teachers. One young curate was reproved by ; he vicar for his use of too long words vhile preaching to an uneducated udience. The word "felicity" was aentioued as an instance. The young urate could hardly believe there was ny one in his congregation who did lot know the meaning of this word, so le called an old woman from one of he pews to refute the charge. "What does 'felicity' mean, Mary?" sked the young man. "Please, beant it summat on the inkle of a pig?" she replied.

Guides and the native hunters of the I Adirondack region have a variety of j ises for the deer they kill. There are i till a good many hunters who know ! iow to tan the deer's hide and a few j iho use as one of the tanning agents : iquid extracted from the brain of the j leer. From the tanned skin many j nicies of use are made. The thick j tide from the neck of an old buck is I xcellent for moccasins, and the art of j noecasin making still lingers here j mong those whose ancestors learned t from the Indians.

A I mckskin suit is good for a dozen years j f hard usage, ai d with rare will last . lifetime. It is remarkably warm and ! nipervious to wa er. One rarely sees nowadays such a ! nit with the hair on. A garment with i lie hair on to be serviceable must be I node from the skins of deer just com- j ng into the "blue," as the hunters ex- 1 iress it, for then the hair is short, j imootli and tough.

One still does see, however, moccasins with hair inside and | out, and very soft, warm, inviting slippers they make. Raccoon skin : now furnishes cheap fur garments in these parts, and winter residents buy or hire overcoats of coonskin to brave the January winds. ' Raw deer hide is used for many j J purposes. It makes excellent thongs 1 for tying articles of one kind or another, good whips and indestructible shoestrings. You may buy in these parts rustic chairs with seats and backs of woven rawhide. The green skin is cut in thin strips, stretched until it is almost translucent, and then woven into a seat. The result is a j comfortable, elastic chair of almost | indestructible material. Deerskins with the imir on are still used ror carpets and mats, though here again, as In the case of the deerskin suits, the skin is not serviceable unless the deer I be shot just at the right season. Nobody Is more fastidious than the Adirondack guide in these little matters. If he cannot have his deerskin coat or carpet just as it should be, he will go without, though he is Indifferent enough as to store clothes and . ordinary household furniture. Out of the marrow from the shank bones of the deer the guides make, by a laborious process, a beautifully clear, sweet oil, which will keep In good condition for years. It is much used by ! Jewelers and watchmakers because of peculiar qualities that exactly lit their , needs. This oil is sufficiently scarce and useful to sell for a high price, i Buekhorn walking sticks are much | commoner in New York than in the ; I Adirondack**. and, indeed, the hunter I of today tinds little use for the antlers j : save ns trophies. A tiny bone of the i j leg furnishes sharp and strong toothpicks for the native hunter, and you | may occasionally see in the houses of guides stools, the legs of which are , those of the deer, carefully cured with the hide and skin.

"In all ages," said the man who observes, "boys have been boys, and if at times their play may smack of brutality, at others it is amusing and even clever. Some years ago at Harvard a cart containing bricks broke down in front of Memorial hall. It being then late, the driver left it there for the night. The next morning, securely resting on the ridge of the roof of Memorial hall, was that self same load of bricks, although how it got there is to this day a mystery. The scuttle to the roof was far too small to admit the body of the cart. On the other hand, the cart was too heavy. It seemed, to have been pulled up by hand from the outside, and besides neither wall nor roof showed any sign of its passage. Yet there it was, and there it remained until at considerable expense to pockets and temper the college authorities had it removed and restored to its clamoring owner. 'The preparatory school to which I went was in a small country Tillage. A tire was looked ui>oii as a great affair and was attended by the students in a body.

A few duckings taught us caution, and we at length were usually able to scamper away without u wetting. "One bitter winter afternoon we gathered at a fire ami engaged in our usual occupation of baiting the foremen. At length they tried to reach us with the hose, but having anticipated the move we were without its range. But unnoticed behind us had been standing the principal of the school. On his august person the stream of water descended like an avenging fate, and before *tbe panic stricken firemen could turn It away l^e was wet to his respectable skin. The water froze as it struck, and we were presently gazing upon a human Icicle.

But be was a thorough good fellow, and beyond a few words as to the wrong we were doing In interfering with a public servant in the discharge of his duty he allowed the incident to pass by unnoticed. "The town hall was one of those hideous and bleak structures so common In the New England towns of 20 years ago. where the only attempt at decoration was a funereal cupola in the exact center of the roof, on top of which was a large figure of Justice. To the horror of the selectmen the town awoke one morning to gaze upon a transfigured Justice. A light blue crinoline skirt and red shawl enwrapped her figure, and she looked coquettishly out from beneath the shadow of an immense poke bonnet. As a particularly happy thought, she was weighing two babies in the scales. "Then came an awful row. The town had no hook and ladder truck, without the aid of which no one could be found to remove the garments. The nearest hook and ladder company was 12 miles distant and required not only permission of the town council but the expenditure of cash to bring it over. The selectmen declared that as it was manifestly a trick of the students the faculty should pay. The faculty firmly refused, holding that there was do proof that such was the case. For ten days the controversy raged, and then the selectmen gave way and paid for the hook and ladder truck. The day the hook and ladder company was to come a storm sprang up which lasted for three days. When the goddess was finally stripped of her clothing. the dyes had run. and she emerged tinted with ail the colors of the rainbow She had to be painted afresh, the selectmen footiug the cost with sullen faces. "The secret was successfully kept as to how the goddess was decorated. The night previous to the occurrence there had been a show in the town hail. When it was over, the captain nf tim f/^nthai! tonin and two fellow conspirators had sneaked beneath the baize fronted stuge. Wbeu all was quiet, they had ascended to the roof. Once there one end of a lo^g rope had been attached to the captain's waist and the other to that of one of the others. The third man accompanied the climber to the base of the figure with the bundle of clothes. The skirt and babies were easily placed, but the shawl and bonnet came as harder work, the figure rocking fearfully on j its base. The idea of the rope was that In case the dresser fell be would be saved from rolling to the ground. | If such an accident had happened, j when he bounded from the sloping , sides of the roof he undoubtedly would I have carried the football captain to the J ground wltb him. They didn't think j of this, however, and it gave them a i greater feeling of safety."?New York Tribune. A Sare Sign.

I thought I kuew all the superstitions which belong to the ohl fashioned Washington "mammy"?alas, how seldom we see her nowadays?but Wednesday evening taught me something I had never heard before. It was in Franklin park, and the air was so warm and soft and the scen'^of the flowers so bemiiliner that maminv had kept her small charge out much later than usual. A few pale stars were beginning to twinkle in the primrose sky as the two of them set off home. "Oh, mammy!" said the child, a little girl of 4 or 5, "look how many stars. 1 can count one, two, three, four"? She counted no more, for mammy, who was several paces behind, ran forward and shook her by the shoulder. "Looky here, chile; looky here," I heard her say, "don't you never let me hear you do that again. Countin the stars in the el'ment! Countin the stars in the el'ment! Why, you'll bring misfortune on all your family. It's dang'est thing you kin do. Countin the stars in the el'ment! Don't you dare to do It again, chile." Speaking of superstitions, I heard another one, too, last week?one which may be as old as the hills to you, but It's brand new to me. One of my women friends has been spending several weeks in one of the hospitals in the city. She hasn't been really ill most of the time, or at least not ill enough to f be content to lie still and do nothing without grumbling. Grumble she did, and one fine morning the burden of her grumbling was that none of her friends had been to see her for four whole days. When she had grumbjed about that long enough, she began to fret about a big fly which was buzzing about her room. The nurse came in several times, and it seemed to the sick woman that instead of trying to drive the fly out she carefully avoided disturbing it. At length the invalid could endure it no longer. "If you don't drive that fly out," she said, "I shall go screaming mad." "That fly?" asked the nurse. "Don't you want him here? Does he annoy; you?" "He drives me wild," said the patient. "If you don't put him out, you'll have to put me in a padded cell." The nurse shooed the harmless, buzz- * ing thing out "I'm sorry he bothered you," sue said. "If you had let him stay, you'd have been sure to have visitors before night A bluebottle fly always brings visitors, and if you drive him away you drive your friends away. It never fails." And sure enough, not a single visitor , came to cheer the sick woman all that lonely day. She had chased them away with the fly.?Washington Post Golf and Guttapercha. It is claimed that so much guttapercha is used in the manufacture of golf balls that there isn't enough left in the market to supply what is needful for the new Pacific cable. Just think of it! In order that an army of wild eyed enthusiasts may foozle and stymie and put It on the green an improvement of worldwide importance must stand still, two continents will remain unlinked, and countless thousands are made to wait for weary weeks for news that otherwise might be flashed beneath the sea in as many minutes! Could anything better illustrate the importance and the tightness of the hold the game has secured upon the public? It is enough to make a golfer swell with importance every time he swings his cleek over a new ball to reflect that he is putting another clog on the wheel of progress. But all fevers run their course. When the golf craze wanes, we can save up the guttapercha and make the cable.? Cleveland Plain Dealer. Why He Is Third. Not a few readers of the newspapers must have been puzzled by the fact that the new king of Italy calls himself and is called "Vittorio-Imanuele III." As the existing kingdom of Italy has hitherto had only two kings in all, and as one of them was named Umberto, it was natural to ask how this one could be the third bearer of the first king's name. The explanation lies In the circumstance that, before the creation of modern Italy, the present king's grandfather was king of Sardinia, and he was the second Victor Emmanuel to bear that title. lie did not change It on assuming the more spacious throne, and the curious result is that Italy calls her first Victor Emmanuel her second and her second her third.?
