AS TO THE BRIDGES.
Ihnl is rather u strange position
which the Saluda Standard lakes as
to the line bridges over Saluda river.
"We do not remember to have said
that the Standard was "narrow" in
taking this position and we do not
say so now, but the Standard should
not want to secure business for the
merchants at Saluda by making it
impossible or very inconvenient for
the people to go elsewhere. It should
remember, also, that a very
number of the taxpapers of Saluda
county want these line bridges and
that they have some right, or should
have, which should be considered.
Another way to look at it, loo, is
that when you try to force people
to go your way they generally
"buck" and thai pretty strong. If
the merchants of Saluda will make
it to | he interest of the people to
trade with I hem and will lei it he
known they will come nearer getting
the trade lhan in an ell'ort to make
it impossible or very inconvenient to
go elsewhere.
W bile the building of (lie steel
bridge at Iliggins Ferry fvill help
Newberry in that it will make '.I
convenient for the people of Saluda
to come here it will at the same
time be a great convenience to a
large proportion of the Saluda people
who want to come to Newherrv
because it is their natural and nearest
market.
We favored the building of a
bridge at Island Ford between NewbeiVv
and Greenwood counties because
it would accommodate some of
the Newberry people whose most convenient
market, with the bridge, is
Ninety Six.
I'lie steel bridge at Iliggins Kerry
is going to be rebuilt at once and,
of course, Saluda will bear her part
of the cost. A large number of her
people want it.
I he Standard should urge the merchants
of Saluda to make it to the
interest of the people Pi trade with j
them and (hey will gel the trade
regardless of free bridges but to op- I
p<>>e line bridges and thus try lo
build a wall to keep the people and
foive them to trade at Saluda will
not work. The Saluda people will
not stand for it.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News ad Courier says the question as
to whether a trustee of a Stale college
can hold a seat in the legislature
is hcinir discussed and should bo
settled. The const it ut ion is as plain
as the K.nulish language can make it.
The only question is whether it is a
po-ition of trust or profit under this
State.
I here are two sections of the constitution,
inhibiting the holding of
two offices. Section '21, Article TI
refers exclusively to members of (he
general assembly and reads:
"Art. II. Sec. 21. N'o person
shall he eligible to a seal in the
general assembly while he holds any
office or position of profit or trust
under tliis State, the Cnited Slates
of America, or any of them, or under
any other power, except ollicers
in the militia and notaries public;
and if any member shall accept or
exercise any of the said disqualifying
offices or positions ho shall vacate
his seat."
Is a trusteeship 0f Clemson, for
instance, as that seems lo be the
only trusteeship which is desirable, a
"position" or "office" under this
Stale of "trust" or "profit".
I he supreme court decides that
( lemson is a State institution and the
trustees are agents of the Slate.
Surelv no member of the legislaluie
would try to evade (lie constitution
by tailing to gel a commission
as the correspondent intimates and
even it he did not lake a commission
would lie II..| Mill be violating the
constitution if be exercise" the
duties o I the posi t ion.
As the correspondent of the News
and Courier says the question ought
to be settled.
THE LYCEUM COURSE.
The Luceum course scheduled for
this season in New'herrv is one of the
highgest character. Kvery attraction
is first class. The course is one
which does not simply entertain and
please but it also instructs. The object
of these Lyceum courses is to

A SURPRISED SWORDSMAN.
Judge Goffe'a Play With a Bragging
Fencing Master.
A fencing master appeared in Bos
ton one winter in the seventeenth cen
fury and had erected a stage on whiel
he strutted up and down at certaii
hours, defying any and all to engage
in sword play with him.
After (his had gone on for severa
da\ s and the man's boasts had bocome
insufferable, Judge Willian
Cioffe and Kdward Whalley, the fa
nous Knglish political refugees, disguised
themselves in rustic cost unit
and appeared before* the alleged mastor.
(lotle held in one hand a cheese
w rapped in a napkin, which ho used
for a shield, and carried a mop whicli
he had soaked in muddy water as he
passed a puddle.
Thus equipped, I lie judge mounted
the stage. The fencer railed at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had* there and ordered
him to begone. The judge stoenl his
ground. I he'n the gladiator maelo ,1
pass at him with his sword to driv-e
him off. The judge received tin
sword in his cheese and held it there
till he bad drawn the mop over the
professor's face and smeared bin
with mud. Another plunge by the en
raged maitrc d'armcs result similarly
this time the judge poking the moj
into his eyes. This operation was re
pea ted a third time.
I hem the maddened fencing masto
(hopped his ordinary sword ane
grabbed up a huge broadsword
I hereupon (lie judge said.
Stop, sir! Hitherto, von see,
have only played with you and not at
tempted to do you harm, but if vm
come at me now with the broad swor<
know that I will certainly take von
life."
The master was impressed by t*i
firmness with which the judge spoke
for he dropped the point of (his woa|
on and exclaimed: "Who can you be

^ Talking Down.
The superintendent of a Sunday
school class in Philadelphia recently
called upon a visitor to "say a few
' words" to the class, the members of
which are mostly children of a ten*
dor age.
^ The visitor, a speaker well known
for his verbose and circumlocutory
)n mode of speech, began his address as
" follows:
? "This morning children, I purpose
' to offer an epitome of the life of St.
Paul. II may be, perhaps, that there
are among you some too young to
j grasp the meaning of the word
'.c 'epitome.' 'Epitome,' children, is, in
* its signification, synonymous with
s synopsis."?Philadelphia Ledger.
