AS TO THE BRIDGES.
That is rather a strange position
which the Saluda Standard takes 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 consider.ed.
Another way to look at it, too, is
that when you try to force people
to go your way they generally
"buck" and that pretty strong. If
the- merchants of Saluda will make
it to the interest of the people to
trade with them and will let it be
known they will come nearer getting
the trade than in an effort to make
it impossible or very inconvenient to
go elsewhere.
While the building of the steel
bridge at Higgins Ferry gtill help
Newberry in that it will make it
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 peo
ple who want to come to Newberry
because it is their natural and near
est market.
We favored the building of a
bridge at Island Ford between New
berry and Greenwood counties be
cause it would accommodate some of
the Newberry people whose most con
venient market, with the bridge, is
Ninety Six.
The steel bridge at Higgins Ferry
is going to be rebuilt at once and,
of course, Saluda will bear her part
of thr cost. A large number of her
people want it.
The Standard should urge the mer
chants of Saluda to make it to the
interest of the people to trade with
them and they will get the trade
regardless of free bri'dges but to op
pose line bridges - and thus try to
build a wall to keep the people and
force 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 State col
lege can hold a seat in the legislature
is being discusses and should be
settled. The constitution is as plain
as the English language can make it.
The only question' is whether it is a
position of trust or profit under this
State.
'There are two sections of the con
stitution, inhibiting the holding of
two offices. Section -24, Article I
refers exclusively to members of the
general assembly and reads:
"Art. II. Sec. 24.. No person
shall be eligible to a seat in the
general assembly while he holds any
office or position of profit or trust
under this State, the LUnited States.
of America, or any of them, or un
der any other power, except officers
in the militia and notaries public;
and if any member shall accept or
exercise any of the said disqualify
ing offices or positions he shall vacate
his seat.''
Is a trusteeship of Clemson, for
instance, as that seems to be the
only trusteeship which is desirable, a
"'position'' or "ofc' under this
State of ''trust'' or "profit''.
The supreme court decides that
Clemson is a State institution and the
trustees are agents of the State.
Surely no member of the legisla
ture would try to evade the consti
tution by failing to get a commission
as the correspondent intimates and
even if he did not take a commission
would he not still be violating the
constitution if he "'exceise'' the
duties of the position.
As thle correspondent of the News
and Courier says the question ought
to be settled.

A SURPRISED SWORDSMAN.
Judge Goffe's Play With a Braggini
Fencing Master.
A fencing master -appeared in Bos
ton one winter in the seventeenth cen
tury and had erected a stage on whicl
he strutted up and down at certait
hours, defying any and all to engag<
in sword play with him.
After this had gone on for severa
days and the man's boasts had be
come insufferable, Judge Willian
Goffe and Edward Whalley, the fa
mous English political refugees, dis
auised themselves in rustic costum
and appeared before the alleged mas
ter. Goffe held in one hand a chees(
wrapped in a napkin, which he usei
'or a shield, and carried a mop whicl
be had soaked in muddy water as hE
passed a puddle.
Thus equipped, the judge mountei
the stage. The fencer railed at hii
'or his impudence, asked him whal
business he had- there and orderei
him to begone. The judge stood hi<
ground. Then the gladiator made
pass at him with his sword to driv(
him off. The judge received th
sword in his cheese and held it ther
till he had drawn the mop over th
professer's face and smeared hin
with mud. Another plunge by the en
raged maitre d'armes result similarly
this time the judge poking the mol
into his eyes. This operation was re
peated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing maste
dropped his ordinary sword an<
grabbed up a huge broadsword
Thereupon the judge said.
"Stop, sir! Hitherto, you see,
have only played with you and not at
tempted to do you harm, but if yoi
come at me now with the broadswor
know that I will certainly take you
life.''
The master was impressed by tA
firmness with which the judge spokE
for he dropped the point of this wear
on and exclaimed: "Who can you be
You must be either Goffe, Whalley o
the devil, for there was no other ma:
in England that could beat me!''

Elijah and the Ravens.
North Carolina probably never prc
duced an abler preacher than D:
Francis L. Hawkes, wxho once wai
pastor of Grace Episcopal churel
New York. Short, thiek set, swar
thy, black eyed and bleek haired, h
was a striking personage. He wa
not only a great pulpit orator, bu
considered the best .reader in thi
New York episcopacy. His rathe
luxurious family deterr'ed him fror1
accepting a bishopric, which woul
have otherwise been tendered. On
day a delegation fronm a Buffal
church waited upon him and invite<
him to accept a pastorate in tlia
tiy.
"Well, gentlemen, other things be
ing satisfactory, the question of ac
eptance narrows down to a busines
matter,'' said Dr. Hawkes. "Wha
salary do you offer ?'
"Dr. Hawkes,'' said the spokes
man, "we recognize that you have
igh reputation and are willing to b<
iberal. Our recent pastor receivei
92,500, but on 'account of you
standing we have decided to offei
you $3,500.''
"My good man,'' cried the doe
tor, "do you know what salary]
am receiving here?"
''No, sir.''
"I get .$15,000 and this' parson
ge and, as I have an expensive fain
ly, I do not see my way clear to ac
~ept your offer.''
The spokesman looked rather
~heepish but made another essay.
"'If we had known that, sir, We
vold uIndoub)tedly have looked else
vhere, but you should remember that
he work of the Lord must be done
md, as for providing for your family
you know the story of Elijah and th4
cavens.''
"Now, my friends,'' respondei
the clergyman quizzically. "I havy

e Very Hopeful of th Situation-Re
ceives Telegrams From all Sec
f tions of State Pledging
I Support.
r The following is from yesterday's
-Spartanburg Herald:
e When seen at his home last evening
upon his return from a trip to Char
leston and Columbia. Gov. Evans, in
reply to the estion from the Herald
representative as to what he thought
of the political situation, he said:
"You may say that Spartanburg
will have the next United States sen
ator. There is a sentiment through
. out the State among the agricultural
and industrial interests that we are
entitled to it in every sense of the
1 word.
"I am delighted with the situa
tion in Charleston. The young men
1 of that city, who are interested in its
development, are going to join hands
with the young men of the Piedmont
to make South Carolina prosperous.
They realize that Charleston's inter
ests can be best promoted by men
who represent the business interests
of the up-country, upon which they
are depending to load their ships.
"The attempt of the News and
Conrier and tl/, Columbia State to
revive the old factional issue of 1890
finds no sympathy with the young
progressive element of both sides,
and I am proud to number among my
ardent supporters hundreds of repre
sentative men who were on the other
side and opposed me at that time. We
have buried our differences and it is
*too late now to try and separate us
by appeals to the dead past.
"I did not intend to publish the
telegrams of congratulation, as I re
garded them as personal matters, but
as my opponent is trying to make
capital out of the fact that he re
ceived such a telegram from Mayor
Rhett, I deem it but fair to myself to
publish the one to me.
r "The Charleston Evening Post
came out editorially in an article
leaning toward me. and both of the
German papers of Charleston will
have articles endorsing me this week.
Sheriff Martin, of Charleston, is
openly advocating my election, and
Sbacked up by other influences, which
r I deem it unnecessary to publish at
this time, it seems that Charleston
e will be in line with the Piedmont.''
~, Governor Evans wound up by say
-ing that all he asks is that his friends
Sat home come to the polls on next
r Tuesday and vote; he will take care
ra of the rest.

"Yes, guy 'nor,'' answered the man.

The superintendent of a Sunday
chool class in Philadelphia recently
alled upon a visitor to "say a few
words" to the class, the members of
which are mostly children of a ten,
der age.
The visitor, a speaker well known
for his verbose and circumlocutory
node of speech, began his address as
Follows:
"This morning children, I purpose
to offer an epitome of the life of St.
Paul. It may be, perhaps, that there
are among you some too young to
trasp the meaning of the word
epitome.' 'Epitome,' children, is, in
its signification, synonymous with
,ynopsis. '-Philadelphia Ledger.
