Sumorous gcpartwfnt. Twice Dismembered.?Some years ago, says Representative Champ Clark, he was chatting with a number of senators from the south in the senate cloak room, when Rutler of South Carolina. whom Clark then saw for the llrst time, came in. After introduction to several new senators and representatives Senator Butler exchanged a few remarks with them and then left the room. One of the Mississippi senators turned to Clark, saying: "To look at Butler you'd never suspect he wore a wooden leg, would you?" "No!" exclaimed Mr. Clark, surprised. "Fact!" continued the other. "Butler was an officer in the Confederate army, as you know. It was not long before he had a leg shot off. Before leaving hospital he was supplied with an artificial leg. Eventually he again went to the front, and this time a bit of shell blew his artificial member to pieces. Just think, Clark," reflectively added the senator. "If Butler had been a Union officer he would be drawi.ig a double pension from the government."?Philadelphia Ledger.

He took to working with the hog; pretty soon trained him to change the 8 to a 6. and then to a 9, and then to a 2 and a 3. Hud him trained fine.

"Hired man had an idea he could make a lot of money down at the state fair showing his tail-figuring hog. I sold him the hog for $10. "What came of it!" asked Clerk Van Orden of the St. Francis. "Well, the stunt was to have the hog guess at people's ages, 10 cents a guess. Bit hit. Moved him down to San Francisco: fog took all curl out of the hog's tail; never could figure after that."?San Francisco Chronicle. An Overworked Word.?In certain sections of the country there are much favored words which are required to do duty with a wide variety of meanings. Such is the word "smart" among Yankees," and up along the Labrador shore the word "civil." The following conversation betwen two natives was overheard by a traveler. "We are going' to have lots of dirt today," said one, glancing at the sky. "Naw. It'll be civil," replied his companion. "How did you get on with the cap0? i?i in ; "Oh. he got civil to hunting deer by and by. When he went out he didn't know nothing, but he got civilized." "Did you go down the Ketchee?" "Naw. It's too civil for him. He wanted lots of rapids. So we went down the Boomer. Them's about as civil rapids as I want to see."?Youth's Companion. No Ghosts Coi/ld Fool Him.?a naval officer who held a civil employment at Rhode Island during the American war of independence and who was of a remarkably spare, skeleton-like figure was stopped by a sentinel late one night on his return from a visit and shut up in the sentry box, the soldier declaring that he should remain there until his officer came his rounds at 12 o'clock. "My good fellow," said Mr. W., "I have told you who I am, and I really think you ought to take my word." "It will not do," replied the soldier. "1 am by no means satisfied." Then, taking from his pocket a quarter of a dollar and presenting it, "Will that satisfy you?" "Why. yes; I think it will." "And now that I am released pray tell me why you detained me at your post ?" "I apprehended you," said the soldier. "as a deserter from the churchyard."

"I am the owner of Starlight." the first said. He was well dressed and imposing; they believed and passed him in. "I am Starlight's trainer." said the second. His red face and bluff manner bore out the story, and tney admitted him. The third man was small and thin. "Starlight's jockey." he said, shortly, and hurried through the gate. The fourth and last man of the group was very shabby indeed. "Well, who are you!" they said impatiently, when he presented himself. "I am Starlight." was the meek reply.?Tit-Bits.

The bride was dressed in white silk and carried a bouquet of white carnations and ferns The touring car of Messrs. J. C. Stewart and C. S. Fudge, which had become familiar on the streets with its "Transfer" sign, has ceased its honk. M?\ Fudge started to Winnsboro Tuesday with two passengers, and when a little below White Oak the car was found to be on fire. The occupants tried to extinguish the fire with sand, but they didn't feel very comfortable fighting fire over a tank of gasoline, and the odds were too much against them. A part of the car was saved, however, and it is thought that $200 or $200 will put it on the load again. There was no insurance Bessie and Curtis Bigham. aged about ten and eight years, children of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Bigham, of Lacy street, came near being drowned in an open well at Mr. M. A. Carpenter's old brick yard on Columbia street, a few days ago. The children, with one or two others, had gone to hunt plums in the bushes round about the well. The water came within two or three feet of the top and thinking it a mud hole, Bessie reached over to try its depth with a stick. When she did so she slipped in. Her brother was standing beside her and as she went down she grabbed his ankle and pulled him in. The screams of the other children brought a colored man and woman to the rescue just in time to save their lives. Only about a year ago a negro child was drowned in the same well. LANCASTER.

Facts About Latest Entry In Senatorial Race. This interesting sketch of Mayor Rhett. who last week entered the senatorial race, is from the new volume. Men of Mark: Robert Goodwyn Rhett, lawyer, banker, financier, was born in Columbia, Richland county, South Carolina, March 25, 1862, son of Albert Moore and Martha (Goodwyn) Rhett. He is descended from an old colonial family, whose earliest American representatives were Thomas Landgrave Smith, who came to Charlestown, | Mass., about 1670. These two Smiths were the grandsons of Sir George I Smith, of Exeter, who was also the grandfather of George Monck, duke of Albemarle. The grandson of George Smith came to Carolina and married his second cousin. Sabina Smith, the granddaughter of Governor Thomas Smith. In 1744 their son, also named j Thomas, married Sarah Moore, the) granddaughter of Col. William Rhett, and his grandchildren, amongst whom was Thomas Moore, the grandfather of Robert Goodwyn, adopted the name of Rhett. about to become extinct. William Rhett attained to most creditable distinction in the pioneer days of the colony of South Carolina, and in 1706 was speaker of the house of commons of that colony. In the (same year he received a commission as vice-admiral of an English colonial fleet fitted out against the French, and in 1717 he commanded the expedition which resulted in the capture of the pirate Bonnet. The paternal grandfather of Mr. Rhett, Thomas Moore, was a planter, and took no part in public life. Two of his brothers, however, attained considerable distinction?Albert Moore and Robert Barnwell. The rise of Albert Moore Rhett in his profession and in public life was one of remarkable rapidity. In the same year that he was admitted to the bar he entered the state legislature, wheie he took rank with the abltst debaters in the state, and at the end of his four years' service he had risen almost if not tpiUe to the head of his bar. In 1843 he removed to Charleston, and in October of that year was stricken with yellow fever, and died at the early age of thirtyfour years. In an article from the pen of an early friend of Albert Moore Rhett, high praise is given to his abilities as a public speaker. "in his address," says this writer, "Mr. Rhett was selfpossessed, grave and earnest; but when he was warmed by debate his logic and invective were overwhelming. His fine voice and tall, handsome person added not a little to the graces of his elocution; while his choice and pregnant English reminded one by turns of the terseness of Tacitus and the solid periods of Milton. He was as severe in the selection of his phrases as in the order of his logic, and when he spoke on the spurt of the occasion, or after much preparation, no link ever dropped from the chain of his argument, and his periods were filled up and rounded with all the completeness that rhetorical art can impart. If he had lived to old age, he would have been one of the first men and one of the finest orators of South Carolina." Robert Barnwell Rhett was also a distinguished lawyer and advocate of state's rights. He was in congress for a number of years, and upon the death of John C. Calhoun, he succeded the latter in the United States senate. He was a rival of Jefferson Davis for the presidency of the Confederate states of America after the ordinance of secession had been passed. Robert Goodwyn Rhett's father is a native of South Carolina and was born in 1834. He was one of the pioneer's in the manufacture of fertilizers from the phosphate rock discovered near Charleston in the late sixties, and constructed the largest of the factories there. Upon the acquisition of nearly all the fertilizer factories in South Carolina by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company, he was placed in charge of them all, which position he now occupies. His mother was a daughter of Dr. Robert Goodwyn of Virginia, who fought with gallantry in the Florida war, and afterwards settled in Columbia. where for more than twenty years he was president of the branch of the state bank located at. that place. The early life of Mr. Rhett was spent in and about Charleston. South Carolina. where he grew up amid a cultured environment. He fitted for college at Porter academy, Charleston, and at the Episcopal High school near Alexandria, Va.. and entered the university of Virginia in the fall of 1879. In 1883 he was graduated from that institution with a degree of M. A., and in the following year took his degree in law. Immediately thereafter he entered the law offices of Brawley & Barnwell of Charleston. In 1886 he formed a partnership with George M. Trenholm, under the firm name of Trenholm & Rhett. In 1893 W. C. Miller, and in 1899 R. S. Whaley, were admitted to the firm, which was then stvled Trenholm, Rhett. Miller & Whaley. It was not long after his admission to the bar before Mr. Rhett attained a prominent position in the profession, but his energies were not confined to the practice of law. The business of fertilizer manufacturing attracting his attention as one of which could be profitably extended, he became instrumental in the establishment of two large factories, and continued to take an active and leading part in this industry until it was concentrated in the ownership of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company. In 1896 he was elected president of the South Carolina Loan and Trust company, and in 1899 he acquired a controlling interest in and became l J * \ToOnnol Rnnlf i>f I II'tI II ??| tllC f CWJJIC ? iKUKMIUI WMM? Charleston, the oldest national bank in Charleston. The latter position he still retains. Mr. Rhett's faith in the future of Charleston has never wavered. His interest in its commercial life has been wide and deep. In the relation of a private citizen he has touched the business of the city at many points, and has unsparingly devoted his time, thought and means to its support. He has been at one time on the board of directors of not less than twenty-five Charleston companies. Relieving that building and loan associations. when honestly and intelligently managed, are important factors in the upbuilding of a community, he has lent them his hearty support and has himself been the president of eight such associations. One of the most notable achievements by the business men of Charleston in recent years has been the establishment of the Commercial club of Charleston. This club was shaped and organized under the directions of Mr. Rhett, and he enjoyed the honor of being its first president. In politics, Mr. Rhett is a conservative, though aggressive, Democrat, and has taken an active part in local state and national campaigns. He was alderman from 1895 to 1903: mayor of Charleston from 1903 to the present and has again been re-elected for another term of four years in the office of mayor: and was delegate at large to the Democratic national convention, held in St. Louis in 1902. In 1905 he was elected president of the League of American Municipalities. The most important public enterprises under consideration during Mr. Rhett's term of office as alderman were the construction of a navy yard by the United States government, and the location and building of a new system of waterworks by the Charleston Light and Water company. Mr. Rhett manifested an absorbing interest in each of these measures, and in the case of the waterworks, its final accomplishment was due in no small measure to his untiring efforts. Fraternally, he is a member of the Charleston. Commercial and Country club of Charleston, and In religion holds membership in the Protestant Episcopal church. He is fond of music, golf and society when disengaged Hum professional and business cares. on November 15, 1X88. Mr. Rhett married Helen Smith Whaley. daughter of William B. and Helen Smith Whaley, of Charleston. To this union four children were born, three of whom, Helen Whaley. Margaret Goodwyn ami Robert Goodwyn, Jr.. are now living. Mrs. Rhett died April 26. 1904. On August 8, 1906. he married Blanche Sally, the daughter of D. Hammond and Ida E. Sally, of Aiken county, South Carolina. Of this union there is one child. Blanche, an infant. His address is No. 116 Broad street, Charleston HAVING FUN WITH JEFF DAVIS. Arkansas Senator Butt of Mr. Johnston's Practical Joke. JefT Davis, junior senator from Arkansas. says a Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune, is being quietly but effectually hazed by his colleagues, and, being utterly devoid of humor, has not yet realized the fact. When the Arkansan returned recently from his state he inquired of Senator Johnston of Alabama, the status of his measure providing for the annihilation of trusts, combines, etc. "Dead, under Rule 17," was Mr. Johnston's laconic reply. "What is Rule 17?" demanded Mr. Davis. "Oh, it's a rule the old senators have adopted to keep us young fellows from attaining any prominence in the senate," replied Mr. Johnston. "It provides that whenever any measure introduced by a senator ^vho has served less than one full term, shall lie on the table, or in committee, for thirty days without action thereon, it shall therehv hp regarded as dead and may not be again considered at that session." "Why, that's a blank outrage!" exclaimed Davis. "I have been down in Arkansas attending to political business and the thirty days have expired. Now, if I don't get some action it will go hard with me in my state." "You might apply to Clark, chairman of judiciary," said Mr, Johnston. "He might get unanimous consent to waive the rule. That's what they do for their favorites." , "I'm afraid I have no chance. I've scored 'em, so I don't believe I'm a favorite." replied the distressed Arkansan, "but I'll try." I Mr. Johnston," who is a statesman of serious countenance and grave demeanor, hastened to Senator Clark, chairman of judiciary, and posted him as to the purport of rule 17. At the next meeting of the Judiciary committee, Mr. Davis appeared and inquired the fate of his bill. "Dead, under Rule 17," replied Senator Clark. "Rut I must feet it up!" excitedly exclaimed the Arkansas wonder. "I have just got to. get action on that bill or they will never send me to the senate again. Every Hill-billie has set his heart on the passage of that bill." "You might move to discharge the committee and get the senate to take it up," gravely suggested the chairman of judiciary. "But I don't want to make the members of the committee mad and get them all down on me," replied Davis. "Don't worry about that," said Mr. Clark. "No member of the committee will resent It if you first explain the exigencies of the situation and the demands of the 'Hill-billies.'" For several days Davis was busy explaining to the members of the judiciary committee the situation in Arkansas and the necessity for his motion to discharge them, which he appeared to think would in some inscrutable way affect the salaries of the senators so discharged. Having made his explanations and met with no opposition Mr. Davis made the proposed motio.n and supported it with his recent explosion in the senate. Of course no vote was reached on the motion, but Davis is devoutly thankful that his measure has at least escaped the clutches of Rule 17. Only yesterday Davis approached Senator Johnston. "Johnston." he said, "do you know they don't print that damnable Rule 17? I have searched the senate rules and can't find a trace of it. In fact, there are only sixteen rules printed in the manual." "Precisely, precisely," replied Mr. Johnston. "That's all done with a purpose. It's a pernicious plan of Aldrich's. They don't print Rule 17 so as to catch us young fellows unawares and they catch most of us." "Well, it's outrageous," replied the Arkansan, "but you may count on it I will never be caught again. I shall make a speech on every measure I introduce at least once in thirty days so they can't say there has been no action on my bills. Meantime, T want you to write down that rule for me so I can learn it by heart. If I don't know all its provisions I may get caught by it. anyway." If Mr. Davis carries out his purpose and speaks on every measure he lias introduced, at least once in thirty days the fate of the Alabama joker at the hands of the "elder statesmen" will be altogether too horrible for other than Davis himself to describe. Meanwhile he is still hunting for Rule 17. WHEN IN THE MARKET For a Buggy or Surrey and not too BUSY to save money on these, call and allow us to show you our line.
