Wednesday, November 12, 1902. / The Republicans swept the country in tbe last election, tbongb by reduced majorities. The defeat of the Democratic party is attributable solely to the want of a settled policy upon National questions. Oar leaders certainly have tbe experience but are sadly wanting in wisdom. There is no hope for ^ Democratic victory * no til the Democratic party relegates to the rear the political dead beats who have so often carried the party to defeat bring forward men more in harmony and sympathy with the spirit of the times. < ???????? We are glad to announce that Hon. A. Frank Lever has been reelected to Congress by an overwhelming majority. This young statesman has accomplished more practical results for the convenience and happiness of his eonstitnency than all of the balance of the South Carolina delegation put together, and as proof of this claim we have only to point to a single class of bis effective work, viz the establishment of so large a number of free rural delivery routes in his district / 1 111 1 a .

Frank Efird, its genial and accomplished General Superintendent Mr. Efird is one of those young men who carries into every thing thst he undertakes, y energey enterprise and industry l which knows no failure. The Fair society certainly made no mistake in making bim its General Superintendent.. The north and east consumes our beef, pork and mutton, they therefore are opposed to thet beef trust, because the south and west are benefited by the high prices of these commodities and yet there are southern statesmen (?) who will fall into the trap laid for them by northern Republicans to reduce the price of these articles of diet, and rob the : 1 lU.

The ud wisdom of the Columbia State in unnessarily prolonging the controversy over the unfortunate and regrettable conflict between the Clemson students and the South Carolina boys, has accomplished nothing but harm. It is very probable that the late Fair is the last one that Clemson will permit its students to attend as a body. Congressman Latimer's stroke of polioy in bringing down South those Republican statesmen so that they could see the negro as he really is, \ has done more to effectually bury the nefarious "Crumpacker Idea" than all the speeches in Congress by Southern Democrats could possibly j have accomplished. The principles of Democracy are eternal because they are founded on right and justice. Politicians may for a time carry them to defeat to j further their own personal and selfish j purposes, but like truth crushed to ! the earth, they will rise again. Has McLaurin entirely retired from j the political arena, or is he husband* i ing bis strength to tackle Tillman in 1906? is a question that is giving the South Carolina politician much concern. % The Democratic pari; is tu be congratulated by the retirement of Jimmie Jones, of Arkansas. Now if it will unload itself of other dead weighte its chances of winning a bril liant victory will be bright. The Greatest Values. Only a few years ago the Globe Dry Goods Company started business in Columbia on a comparatively small capital, but large business experience and indomitable pluck and energy until today the manager baa succeeded in buiidiog up a large wholesale and retail business second to none in the city. Mr. Monckton has made wonderful additions to his store rooms in order to meet the demands of his large and increasing trade. He now util izes the upper and lower floors as well as the cellar, of his commodious stores and the capacity of his floor room is equal to a solid block, al1 of which are filled to overflowing with all the new novelties in dry goods, notions, clothing and millinery embracing all that is needed in wearing l apparel for man, woman and child, which he is offering cheaper than the cheapest at retail and obeaper still at wholesale. In his stores the consumer can And first class goods at second class prices and in his whole sale department the country merchant can find a well selected stock from which to fill bis shelves at such low prices as will enable him to sell cheap and make a good profit. The friends of Mr. Simon P. Taylor will find him in the clothing department and other polite and accommodating clerks are always ready to show customers the greatest values in the city. "Wanted.

A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a flower bed is very beneficial in keeping the soil fresh. In plowing in the orchard always turn the furrow toward the tree, and be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous roots. The life of an apple tree is often shortened because it grows in a poor, exhausted soil or one not properly drained. When ill or ailing, handle the flowers little or wear gloves. Delicate plants are sensitive to human magnetism, good or bad. xue roots 01 tne strawuerry vutm reach out five feet from the main stem; hence the plants should not be set too thickly. An apple or cherry tree fs much more valuable if it shoots out low. Trim from the top. as this will cause the lower branches to grow out. Land that has been too rough for plowing may yet be sufficiently fertile to grow fruit trees and is better than land that has been exhausted by crop- , Ping. Too Gorgreonii Boole*. The author of "Elizabeth and Her German Garden," writing on the "Giving of Books" In the Century, says: Gifts of books addressed solely to the spirit should never be editions de luxe. Of what use is a book to me. however mnch 1 may want to read it, if it is so gorgeous that it must not be taken auywhere where rain might fall on it. or where it might get muddy, or where a heedless gnat, caught by the quick turning of a leaf, might leave its legs in the pages, angering the owner of the (letiled book, who does not want its legs, almost as much as it is itself angered by having to go on being a gnat without themV 1 can no more take an overgorgeous book to my heart than 1 can fold my child in my arms when it is dressed for a party.

The last section "Of a Finger of the Moon Reddened by the Setting Sun" in the Sanscrit work called the "Surging of the Ocean of Time" contains a legend concerning woman's creation which is commonly credited throughout India, and which runs somewhat as follows: At the beginning of time, Twashtri, the Vulcan of Hindoo mythology, created the world. But when he wished to create a woman he found he had employed all his materials in the creation of man. There did not remain one solid element. Then Twashtri, perplexed, fell into a profound meditation. He roused himself to do as follows: He took the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of oim'c r-oT'a onfl tofirc nf +lif> mist tlio OUU a iuj U v/*. VMW the inconstancy of the wind, and the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of the down on the throat of the swallow, the harshness of the diamond, the sweet flavor of honey, the cruelty of the tiger, the warmth of fire, the chill of snow, the chatter of the jay and the cooing of the turtle dove. He melted all this and formed a woman. Then he made a present of her to man. Eight days later the man came to Twashtri and said: "My lord, the creature you gave me poisons my existence. She chatters without rest, she takes all my time, she laments for nothing at all and is always ill." And Twashtri received the woman again. But eight days later the man came again to the god and said: "My lord, njy life is very solitary since I returned this creature. I remember she danced before my singing. I recall how she glanced at me from the corner of her eye, that she played with me, clung to me." And Twashtri returned the woman to him. Three days only passed and Twashtri saw the man coming to him again. "My lord," said he, "I do not understand exactly how, but I'm sure the woman causes me more annoyance than pleasure. I beg of you relieve me of her." But Twashtri cried, "Go your way and do your best!" And the man cried, "I cannot live with her!" "Neither can you live without her," replied Twashtri. And the man went sorrowfully away, murmuring, "Woe is me; I can neither live \vith her nor without her."?Collier's Weekly. Sure of Applause. That the theatrical claque is. not confined to playhouses was demonstrated beyond all shadow of doubt to the teacher who was drilling the pupils for the exercises in one of the public schools. The unresponsive bit of femininity over whom the amateur "coach" worked rejoiced in the name of Sarah. When Sarah began to talk, all her vocal organs took joyful holiday and retired in favor of her nose. In vain thp fpneher hecrtred and implored. Sarah still clung to her monotone. Then the teacher threatened. "Sarah." she said, "if you don't try to do better you will fail utterly, and then how will you feel?" "Oh, they'll applaud me, Miss Brown." returned Sarah easily. "My mother is goin' to give my little brother Andy 10 cents, and if he don't begin clappin' the minute I sit down he's goin' to be strapped within an inch of his life."?New York Times. A Measure of Distance. A northern sportsman went alligator hunting in Florida, and, as often happens with the uninitiated, he got lost. It was near night, and he was at a loss what to do. Presently he met a man riding a cow, says the Indianapolis Journal. "Can you tell me how far it is to Miami?' "Waal, I reckon it's about two whoops," the man answered. "Two?what?" ? ? ? ?

"I have here," said the long haired theorist as he was ushered into the presence of the railway magnate, "plans for a device that will warn the engineer when any one is crossing the track." "Can't use it," replied the busy official. "What we want is something that will warn the person who is crossing the track when the engineer happens along that way."?Chicago News. JBut soon to He.
