Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCAI.KS, ) EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S I'KOI'KIKTOKS. TJCUJUS : ONE YEAH, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 2. 1900. Two queen bees can't rule in (lie same hive; neither could Hanna .ind Onay rule tho same Senate. An administration which sanctions plural wives in its colonies may, w ith all consistency, sanction plural salarios to its officers. If gallant Joe Wheeler will only re member Dewey as he remembered tho Maine, bis prospective murringo need have no terrors for hi* admiring friends, ^ Senator Mri.antin's vole for Quay refutes the charge that Hanna carries that, .Senator in his vest pocket as a substitute tor a buckeye. Some lies just nail themselves. - m o mu There should be no pigmies in the next national convention of th?; Demo cratic party. The platform should be plain anti out spoken, and should repre sent the bes! Democratic thought of the nation. Arizona and New Mexico have bob bed up again with petitions for state hood. Of course neither of them is fit for it, but either has better qualifica tions than some of our present States, Nevada, for instance. Now comes Senator Davis asking for a holiday spree and jaunt to Mexico with a mere bagatelle appropriation for incidental expenses of say $25,000. Commissions are quito the ihiug now end the boys should have a little re creation._ According to a Now York special Mc Kinley's knees have again quaked nnd he has been compelled to call off his yelping pack and accord to Admiral Schley the honors and rank due him by the country. A threatened expose of the records of Sampson and his ad ministration defenders is said to have done the work. The people know where the money comes from to pay plural salaries to Cuban officers, but it is a puzzle to them to understand how those Senators ore reimbursed who spend princely for tunes for their togas yet draw only a salary of $8,000 per annum. Maybe Senators Quay, Clark and Hanna can throw some light on the mooted ques tion. The cotton plan tors of the South may again have to resort to cotton sheeting as a covering for their cotton, and to seek some substitute for tics to hold the bales in shape. These needful sup plies aro now entirely controlled by tho trusts. Last year there were half year there is none. One concern has absolute control of all the bagging in the country, and another has absolute control of the ties. __ The division of statistics of the United States Department of Agricul ture has undertaken the publication for wide distribution of lists of free em ployment ofilceB and other institutions to which farmers may apply when in need of farm laborers. The co-opera tion of many charity organization so cieties, settlements, colleges, etc., DOB been secured, and it is hoped thus to facilitate communications between the farmers who want help and those who are in need of work for tho summer months or for the entire year. We hopo tho Honorable Cholerable Loquacious Iliense, of the County of Newberry, will not reconsider his in tention of telescoping tho Lieutenant Governor's chair in the comingprimary. Tho South African war has so thor oughly thinned out tho ranks of our affectionate, quondam friend, the mule, that the nearest approach to him stirs to wildest enthusiasm tho breasts of those who treasure fond recollections of a musical voice that is hushed and the strains of a sweet song no longer heard. By all means, Colonel, come on and take n front sent. And Hanna voted against Quay! What queer bedfellows polities are! However, bot times are en tapis in the old pnrty, as Quay's friends have a knife up their sleeve for Hanna's pet subsidy steal and his cherished Hay Pauncefort? treaty. Hanna, on the other hand,"hns benevolently assimi lated the long wished for purse strings of John Wannamaker for the next campaign, bnt this does not lessen the hope that since these worthy bosses have now fallen out and propose to fight, honest men will soon get th Ar dues. _ '_ It may be that the interview with Captain Chadwick, of the Cruiser New York, making a bitter attack upon Admiral Schley was unauthorized, yet it truthfully represents a public utter ance of that gentleman, and as such should be tho basis of conrtmartial proceedings against him. To say the least of the very indiscreet speecb.it is in extremely bad taste for this attack to come from the Captain of Admiral Sampson's flagship; and originating there as it does it must inevitably react upon the Sampson partisans and give to their already impotent and tottering cause additional impetus toward an early grave. The charge of pettiness which he seeks tb lay at Schloy's door is certainly not borne out by the. opin ions of an observant public in whose /estimation the exact rev?rso is the case. / The relation of the Navy Department toward Sampson reminds one most for cibly of that existing between a wet nurse and the mewling, puking infant in her arms. lt is very annoying to tho ndiuinis trntion that it has been, so fair, nimble to spend nil the moneys collected by its war taxes and from its Cuban reve nues. It hopes, however, by itu now plan of plural salarien to reduce the cumbersome surplus to a very ?mall minimum. Hy this plan it is hoped to avoid expensive ami useless legislation ol' repealing existing laws, and at the same time it will put those officers on double duty collecting their sundry salaries, thereby making them earn their wages, (?reatare Um resources of imperialism! ? - - . - - - 'J in* ti i st Democratic bolt of the campaign is reported from the Brynn contingent of the State of New York. Surely it doth make a great deal of diff?rence whoso ox it is that's gored. We have a very faint recollection of the wild, hysterical-yea, demonical ravings that rent the sky in 1800 over a few "assistant Republicans"and "gold hllg traitors" that refused to subscribe to the iucendiary ? harter known to fame ami, we might ado, to limited tradition, as the Chicago platform. These "traitors*' may now obtain com fort from the hearty endorsement given their plan by their former traducers. (Jovernor Mcsweeney certainly de serves: the congratulations ami words of commendation that ?ire being show ered upon him in his selection of a Stat?' Hoard of Education, which he announced as follows last week: H. 1'. Atelier of Charleston, C. E. Knight of Grnnitcvillc, J. I. McCain of Due West, ll. T. Cook of Greenville, A. lt. Hanks of Hock Hill, W. A. Brown of Marion, T. M. Hazer of < hangelmrg. The Gov ernor is ex-ofhcio chairman of this Hoard ami Mr. McMahon, State Super intendent of Education, is ex-officio Secretary. The Governor lia? very properly recognized all branches of educational work in his appointments, and all of them are men of character and ability, T?1IO will render good ser vice to the State. The McKinley Administration will go down to history an the great com mission epoch. The treasury has been more vigorously and ruthlessly attack ed by this method during the past two years than in the whole former history of the republic. 11 is recognized as one of the easiest and pleasantest modes of squaring political obligations known to the human mind. Even the state ment of expenditures of the Philippine commission-usually considered very conservative-sounds pretty stiff to the provincial mind, but the report of Commissioner Heck, of the Huris Ex position, seems to mock the govern ment for its cupidity and squashy policy. For comparison both reports are hereto appended. Expenditures of the Philippine commission: Compen sation of 810,000 each to Commission ers Schurman, Worchestor and Denby, $230,000 per diem allowance to commis sioners after their return to the United States, $5,2H3; secretary to commission (compensation, $8,500; per diem, $8, 000), $12,220; transportation, $18,087; household expenses in Manila, $0,252; clerical services, $81.701: nns?e??ane ous, $14,008.

Miss Emma Wooten, who has been attending school in Anniston, Ala., re turned homo recently. Tho rains have temporarily ceased, and thepcoplonre literally giving every Hying minute something to keep in store. Well, sir, did you notico how that munificent, plagiarist. "W. C. H.," of Septus, bulldozed us because we made a few laudatory remarks concerning their promising grain crop*! He said: "Why MI the world did 'Hob' not play on the harp of a thousand strings that wo might know that the 'wild hog' of Antun was in our midst?" and "why did ho not lift up his eyes and behold the distant fields of g'-een?" Well, this "wild hog" has learned to play on his harp only to appreciative listeners. When we reached Septus wo could plainly seo that old man "atey" had been along, so we quietly closed our harp and went on cautiously. Hut, meanwhile we "raised our eyes" and looked across the swamps and marsh es to the hills beyond, and just above the vale we espied a mimic being which we have ?ince named the "tick" of Sep tos.! in retaliation for "wild hog" of Antun. Just listen: "Como again, and perhaps you will get a peep at some of onr girls.", 11*11 tell you, friend, you of fended my wife with this remark. She indignantly said: "You are too thick with the girls, especially when I am not with yon." But I think there will be no trouble on either side, because I did my courting forty years ago, and I had such winsome ways that ray wife imperatively declares that I shall never nave another chance at courting. Now, Mr. Tick, (for so have we christened you) your hopothesis, that wo people of Autun are dependantonsomeoneelse for "bread and lasses," ia absolutely incor rect.. Oh; yes, we h??c cur "hog and hominy." Besides, our neighbors, the operatives of our little mill, are con tented. They have five months' public school; a commodious pasture is fur nished th** n by the president of the mill, so that everyone may keep a cow with comparatively small expense. They have comfortable and well built dwellings; are paid well; do not indulge in intoxicating liquors as much as Mr? Tick says Ins people indulges. We would be glad to hear from onr young friend again. Do not become offended -that would bo our last intention. Just Tick off at your own leisure, for we fissure you that in this day of high electrical potential even a very small tick may be heard i ti the uttermost parts. All is well ami nie?. liol! AMATKI lt. Moseley Newa. After a protracted wet spell, the sun has come out in all his glory and dried the earth, ami our farmers are again pushing their much delayed farms. Mr. John H. Young has been finite sick with I agrippe for some, time but wean- glad to bay he is fast convales cing. Also Mr. Kelly is much better. Mrs. V. Ii.

He Killed Hie Companion. WAYCROSS Ga., April 30.-Martin Miller, the 13-year-old son of Dr. D. J. Miller, of Beach, and e. young son of Mr. Taylor Bunn, of Eisie, almost in separable companions, yesterday after noon were in a room ut Mr. Bunn's house, taking a bath. A doubled-bor reled shotgun was in the roora. Young Bunn, not knowing the weapon was loaded, pointed it nt Miller and snap ped it. Martin said "Look out, you'll shoot me." The Bunn boy again snapped the hammer. The gun fired this time and young Miller received a load of buck shot in the back part of the head, kill ing him instantly. The boy who did the shooting is al most wild with grief over the accident, His father is a member of the linn of J. It. &T. Bunn, prominent sawmill and naval store operators. His victim was a son of Rev. D. J. Miller, formerly a prominent citizen of Waycross, now a successful naval stores man of Beach, Ga. Woman Cashier Brave. Lynn, Mass, April 28.-A bold at tempt wa s made to rob the Lynn Five Cents Savings bank shortly after noon to-day. During the lunch hour a man approached the teller's window and passed a note to Harriot 1*. Houghton, who was on dnty. Tho note read: Don't speak or make any noise or I'll put a bullet through your brain. Count out $500 und be quick; pass it to rae without trouble. 1 have two friends watching us now and any. attempt to communicate with auy one will mean your death." Miss Houghton, although considera bly alarmed, quickly reached a button near ber desk which sounded an elec trical call for tho police. Then she coolly informed the man what she had done. Without a pause the robber rushed from the bank nnd disappeared down Market street. The police ar rived a few minutes later. Facts About Fish. If people either buying or selling fish would wrap them good in two or three papers and also tie them, this would keep the air away from them. They would keep fresh for 34 hours during the hottest weather. Do not unwrap or clean them until ready to cook, but keep them in a cool place. Old newspapers are best to wrap np fish vr itu. A box iinn? with paper and containing eggs will keep fresh for oue month, as much so aa eggs three days old. Wrap np each egg good with paper when fresh laid and pack m box; don't unwrap until sold or used. There is just as much sense in keeping air off perishable objects as in doing the same thing with ice. No kind of meat or fruit should be mashed or bruised if you wish to keep ic. People buying ought not to mash fruit ami other perishable things. A man who will mash a watermelon Aught to be mashed in the head with ka axe handle--P. </. Puclcr in Columr ma State.

Richardo telegraphed condolences and great . sympathy is expressed by every one, Cubans and Americans alike, for the Wilson family. - One little trust has cornered all the broom corn in the United States, some 20,000 tons, and has put the price at $200 per ton. One concern that is lighting this sweeping abomination has imported 500 tons from Hungary, ata cost of $150 a ton. - Last Thursday in Yorkville, while all others were ?ut of the office, H. H. Gallaher, a printer, temporarily crazy, tried to cut the throat of Miller Drake ford, the 7-year-old son of thc editor of tho Yeoman. Tho child was playing in the composing room. His mother heard a scream and ran to the door in time to see an uplifted knife over her boy. She snatched him from the man and ran into an adjoiningroom, fasten ing the door. The little boy has a gash on his neck an inch long barely miss ing the jugular vein. Gallaher is in jail, and said if he had known they were going to imprison him he would have cut oil" the child's head. - mm . I- - Veteran?, Attention-Louisville, Ky., und Hetti rn.
