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.
Legal Warfare.?"Fellow was raising
bees back in the foothill country"
remarked Frank H. Short of Fresno.
"Plenty of sagebrush; sage makes
clear, delicious honey. Got in a row
with a neighbor, shot his dog; said its
barking annoyed his queen bees.
Neighbor waited a whole year to get

wild mustard; grew fine. Bees
thick on mustard flowers. Mustard
makes bitter honey. Like to ruined
the bee man's sales. Bee farmer
came to me, wanted to sue for damages.
"What can I do?" he asked.
" 'Nothing,' I said. He has a right
to grow mustard on his own land.'
" 'Well,' he said, 'I'll get some
scheme to annoy him.'
"So he got a cornet; used to sit up
from midnight till 4 in the morning
practicing 'Wearing of the Green;

A Befogged Tail.?"I had a hog,"
safd Col. E. A. Forbes of Marysville,
"that got to curling its tail in the
shape of a figure 8; always held it that
way. Had a hired man working for
me, kind of an animal trainer. 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. Did
it by holding just as many grains of
corn in his palm. When the hog figured
right he'd get the com.
"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."
Who They Were.?They were a
group of sporting men. and were unable
to raise a sovereign between
them. One at a time they presented
themselves at the paddock gate.
"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.

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.

R.? GOODWYN RHETT.
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,

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.

The Only Chance
Why not trade at the poor
man's store? It is the only one in
town run to serve the working man?
open from 4 a. m., until 8 p. m., and
run by a man that will accommodate
and thank you for your trade. While
I don't keep everything, I keep a very
nice line of stuff all the time, and
thank every one for their trade as every
little helps.
It is no use to tell you about my Market,
as every one knows I keep the
BEST MEATS the country affords.
There ain't a man, woman or child in
town but what likes to trade with Old
George?He treats 'em right.
Say, if you want to be happy in this
world, marry an old maid, buy Beef
at Sherer's Market, and drink Cracker-Jack
Coffee?that's all.
I work so hard, but never have a cent,
Tntss all 1 e-pt to nav the niereers and
the rent;
Say, if I can't get a start in a year or
two,
I will get a job as clerk, that's what
I'll do.
Yours to serve,
OLD GEORGE,
The Butcher.
