SOME OONGRESSMEN WOliRIEE Approaching} Campaign Season tlic Cause of Anxious Moments. Washington, April 23.?'Some interesting rumors regarding Congrcss sional candidates in South 'Carolina have been floating around the nation, al capital during the last week 01 two. A large number of South Carolinians have been in Washington some on pleasure and some on business, but all ready ro talk and discuss the political outlook. While the campaign for the United States senate is naturally attracting more attention than any other feature of the South Carolina piolitiJcal game this year, the congressional nominations, if present-day signs count, will not go begging. 1 p to tire present time four or five of (he Soul It Carolina congressmen do not tiiink they will have opposition, but they are mil able to say positively that such will be the case month Irence. In discussing thy* probable make-up <>f the house of representatives in the Olsl congress, so far as Sonfli Carolina is concerned a glance through t'ie pages ol (lie congressional directory Inr the present year will be interesting: Mr. I;egare?'' Wits elected lo the f>8 th ami f>t)|h congresses, and reelected to the OOth congress, receiving .'UHif) votes, to 28 for A. 1\ Priolcai?, republican.'' Mr. Patterson?"Was elected to the r?J)fh congress, and re-elected to the OOth congress, receiving 4,588 votes, to 20 for Isaac Myers, republican. '' *Mr. Aiken?"Was elected to the >8lh and ftOlh congresses, and reelected to (he 001 Ii congress without opposition, receiving 2,MS voles." Mr. .Johnson?" Klected to the .r>7th >S|-h and .tjlili congresses, and reelected to Hm' 001 h congress, receiving :VI2-| voles, to l!t for I). C. Cisl, republican and III f,,r W. T. Cobb, socialist." Mr. Kin ley?'* Was reeled to the '11, -r>"lli. ">8th, and f??Hh congresses, and re-elected to the Ollth congress, receiving .'{.58") votes." Mr. Kllcrbe- "Was elected lo the I' congress, and re-elected lo the 00th congress without opposition, receiving :{/18-l voles." Mr. I;ever?"Was elected to the State legislature from Tvexinglou county, holding that position until his resignation to enter the race fo till the unexpired term of the Hon. J. Y\ in. Stokes, in the f>7th congress, and to this position lie was elected without opposition; was elected to the ?>Sth and 111 congresses, and reelected to the OOth congress, receiving r>,:t91 votes, to m for A. 1). Dantzler, republican." Present Tactics Damaging. iA\i 111 out special reference to the South Carolina congressmen, there are many Democratic representatives who are tearful lest (he filibustering tactics ot Minority T.eader John Sharp Williams may cause some of them to be defeated, or if returned, to do so by a much smaller vote than received last time. As the situation was explained to this correspondedI today bv a eongM'ssmau I roin one id the Sou!hern States, lint not South Carolina, the iauk and file ot voters want some tangible results from the work of their congressmen. "While as a loyal I >eniocra.' I am following the leadership of Mr. Williams," lie said. "I am doing it with considerable mental reservation. I fear the result on the people is going lo be bad. Take the voters ill the rural districts; without any disparagnnent whatever, I will say that some of them know little if anything of the reasons that are prompting Mr. Williams to employ iiis present filibustering tactics; they know nothing of the wood pulp light end the tarill, and it only appears to them in a far-off, dim sort of way that something big is being attempted: but they can't understand i!. Many ol lie rs don't either. The people in the country are looking for results. rhey want their representative* to show what they have done, and it they can't do it I'm afraid it is going to be pretty difficult to make I hem see why some of the old congressin"ii should he returned for another term. 1 am afraid there is going lo lie a very large percentage of new faces in the 01st congress as the result of the present hold-up process." Public Building Bill May Save Many T'nless Speaker Cannon sits too tight on the lid there is hope thai some of the present congressmen may save themselves by gelling good slices from the public building bill. Thai bill, however, i* not to run over possibly >2.),000.000 this year, and when it is iaken into conside"ition that the representatives of 80,000,000 people me clamoring for it there is not much y | > to go round alter ah. Another damaging lealure in this u.ntur that has ai i come to light during tire last few ti days is that when the bill is reported c< to the house for adoption there may tl . bo a restriction that 110 town shall ai . share in it that has not free delivery tl i service in operation. That won'] fi . knock out a number of growing towns which have been figuring on getting f. into the bill and will at the same time , be a blow to some of tli^ congressmen ci . who nave been pressing Heir claims j,. . f >r tlnsc buildings in older to get jvj 1 s-omeihing for their ij?? f( While not indulging In speculation p< as ,0 what members of the South w Carolina delegation may be returned a i to the house as members of the 61st 1 congress, it is only fair to say that ]j) present tumors indicate that there a may be a change or two in the State's ,j( next lineup. P() * Wj OLDEST PAPER TO SUSPEND. t>d The Pekin Gazette to go Out of Busi- ^ iicss?The Government Gazette 1' Will Succeed It. be N'ew York Sun. Il is reported from China lliat the oldest newspaper in the world, (lie , I'ekin Gazette, is about to suspend J publication. The lirsf numhcir appeared in Ml 1 A.

(|1 news and has been a repository of edicts from the throne, memorials from provincial governors and re- jj( ports from Chinese officials. It would be wrong to infer that its con- . lents were always dry. I'Yeipieiitly the Gazette has contained news of great interest to the world and infor- ' ma!ion illuminating one phase or auolher ol ("niues'e. character or tlio government a I regime. I'ei'liaps we read one day that no! only the soldier who had .-lolen thirty . ^ boxes of bullets had been severely , punished, bul lire olllcer whose duly J'j if was (0 iuspeet I he stores and see Ilia!

We learned from The Gazette that. S(' the 'explanation of moral maxims to s'' the people was a favorite prcscriplion for amending their shortcom- n0 ings. One day a memorial in I lie pa- 1 per said that as the inhabitants of U( one of (he provinces were turbulent, r'u coiupelent persons had been appoint- '^c' ed lo explain to (he mllie maxims of rel I lie sacred edicts with the hope of improving I heir character. dh I he Gazelle often told of cases ph where bils of (he flesh of a son or daughter were cooked and eaten bv a parent afliictcd willi obstinate ill dis ness. fi was believwd that their lives 011 might 1 tins be "saved, si.\ A lew years ago a report in The Gazelle from the governor of Y1111- cj nan said Ilia! in some of (he country districts the villagers luid a horrible custom ol burning lo death any man gc caught stealing corn or fruit in lire liehls., Then followed, detailed ac- jv conn Is of some of these event's. / ,, .. * The files of the venerable paper jiV are among the curiosities of typography.

WON A MILLION AT EUCHRE. Game Between Miners For Share in an Australian Claim. .i Uritish Australian. tlie Some interesting reminiscences of arc tlie lale Geo rye McCulloch, formerly dul chairman <>f (he lirokcu llill I'ropri- Mr clary Company, recall fhe story of a bel game of cards in which lie slaked and lost an interest which suhsc- Kx f|uen(ly returned something like a 1 million sterling. Mr. McCulloch was (he manager ml part owner of Mount Gipps Sta- ! oil, on which Broken Hill is situat- J 1> when Charles Hasp pegged out __ nit outcrop, and he joined with Hasp """"" lid other station hands in forming ie original syndicate of. seven to nance the working of the claim. Mr. McCulloch was the hero of the i imous game of cards with a young ?? sllow named Cox for a share in the aim. By this tin-c the syndicate id been enlarged to fourteen shares. "cCulloch wanted 200 pounds for a uirlcenth, and Cox offered 100 uiiids. Imagine that for an interest hicli has since returned well toward million! The pair haggled, for McCulloch <e a true Scotchman, liked to drivo bargain. lOveutually he came >wn to ISO pounds, and Cox went nvimr to 120 pounds. McCulloch us si ill obdurate, but at last proposI a game of euchre to settle matters, ie term.- were that if Cox won, he is |u get the share lor 120 pounds, McCulloch was the victor he was to paid ISO pounds. McCulloch lost. Why Latin is Used, A ureal many people wonder why a ivsician writes his prescription in it in. There are two principal roans assigned. First, though obsolete a language, Latin is the universal' tongue" 'employed by lire chemists id pharmacists of every country. The lysieian, IbereTore, employs Latin rms that his prescriptions may be nlerstood under all circumstances, ie second reason, a good one, is that ? matter in what country i< prcscrip)ii may be written, it may be corelly tilled by the pharamcists of any her clime. Thus a Creek doctor ay give bis native countryman a escription in America, and, though in bio lo speak a. word of English. Ire df* 'ild have il correctly filled in this S un try. Another reason, perhaps unjustlv >igned. i< <aid to in1 the disposition conceal lire contents of many sim- ' e formulas from the patient, that e charge of physician and pharmad alike may be proyocfed. This is a rather selfish view to take, nvever. But in the case of* old cstab?hed formulas, long tried and provi, such, for instance, as the formula Andes' Great Prescription, there e no secrets to hide, and the manucturers are glad to show it in plain ^8 uglish to tlie worl<>. This is done on every package, bot?, label and container alike, along ith a guarantee of absolute purity id a serial number showing that such laranty has been filed with the govnment at Washington. This remedy, Andes' Great. Pre- ^ riplion, positively cures catarrh, innacii, liver and bladder troubles, If ood impurities and female wcaksses. Its formula has been written J indVeds of thousands of limes by dl-informed physicians until aoired by its present owners, who, nn~ r patent, offer it as a proprietary sou medy. and publish its contents.
