"'IEN HUE." In Columbia, S. C., Monday, Tuesda: and Wednesday Evenings, and Wednesday Matinee, Nov. 21, 22 and 23. Much interest has been manifeste( ooncerning the mechani,al methods o the thrilling chariot race employed ii Klaw &. Srlanger's new and greate production of General Wallace's spec tacle, "Ben Hur," which is to be pre sented at the Columbia theatre, Co lumbia, S. C., Monday, Tuesday an< Wednesday evenings and Wednesda; matinee, November 21, 22 and 23. In this great arenic contest thi spectator sees eight horses gallopin at break-neck speed and straining ev ery muscle to gain the advantage ii the race within the ampitheatre. Be hind each quartet of horses is a Ro man chariot. Tbe wheels revolve rap idly, the chariots l1rch and sway an( the flaming beribboned garments o the drivers flutter behind them, ad ding intensity to the realism of th; scene. The illusion is still furthe increased as the interior wall of th ampitheatre moves along and the dus ties in blinding clouds beneath thi crushing wheels of the chariots. Thi ciatter of the rushing hoofs of th4 horses and the rumble of the chariot are distinctly heard. Elaborate mechanism and applica tions of electricty produce this grea effect. The mechanism of two grea cradles, twenty feet in length an( fourteen feet wide, and which ar4 'movable back and forth on railways is supported by a bridge structuri oapable of holding twenty tons. Th( tops of the cradles are two inche, above the level of the stage. Eacl cradle there are four runways an tread-mills of hickory slats two in ohes wide and covered with rubber; they are twelve feet long and two anc a half feet wide. On each of thes( ireadmills a horse long and two anc a half feet wide. On each of thes( treadmills a horse is secured by stee cable traces, which hold him in placE and prevent him from moving forware off the runaways. As each horse gal lops, the treadmill revolves under hi. feet, thereby elimnating the forwar pressure created by the impact of hic hoofs, which would force him ahead on an immovable surface. By this mechanical arrangement it is possibli 'I'or the horses actually to gallop witl all their speed within the space oj their own length. It is considered thE most realistic effect ever seen upor the stage. For the accommodation of out-of town visitors who wi'l want to wit uess the staging of "Ben Hur" thE management of the Columbia theatrE announce that special attention wil: be given to all orders for seats receiv ed by mail. Prices will range from 75 cents to $2. Seats for "Ben Hur' will be placed on sale Tuesday morn ing, November 15. ,Y3EW LUTHERAN CHURCH. To Be Built at Mollohon 11111 Village by the Summer Brothers as a Mfemorial to Their Father. Rev. J. D. Shealy, writing to the Lu theran Church Visitor, says: "The service in the Summer Memo rial church, Mollohon mill village, on Sunday was the most interesting oc -casion since the organization of tha -congregation. This new congregation -celebrated the holy commur.ion fox the first time, and every Lutheran *present at the service participated. Six persons were received into the mem bership-five by transfer and one by infant baptism. "The congregation was organized 'by the writer on the fourth Sunday in July with 26 members, which have now increased to 40 confirmed mem b ers, with 14 baptized members--tota] 54. "Another matter of special interest to the members was the announce ment by the pastor that the building of a house of worship, so devoutly hoped for, was an assured fact. Not only is this the case, but the hope will be realized in the very near future. The church will be built by the Sum mler t'others-C. E., J. H. and Geo. W. Summer-as a memorial to their father of precious memory. These brethren are men with big hearts and illed with the spirit of unlimited C~hristian generosity. If the church tad more men like them and other ilberal-hearted members of the Church of the Redeemer whom we might name -and we will mention Dr. 0. B. May or, who built Mayer Memorial church -the perplexing problem of caring for missions would be solved. For this git both pastor and people fail tc mnd words sufficient to express their deep gratitude. May God's richest bsenediction ever abide upon these kind Christian friends." Astray.

Scramble Begins for Offices Under Democrats-Many Employees to Feel Effect of Changed Po litical Condition. I News and Courier. Washington, Nov. 14.- -The scram ble for offices in the 62d congress, 1 which will be controlled by the Dem ocrats, has already begun and every where the campaign for capturing the plums that are expected to be parceled out by the Democrats has assumed an interesting aspect. Although the Democratic house will not take pos session of the situation until Decem ber, 1911, there are many employees .:around the capitol who will feel the effects of the recent election when the present session of congress opens on March 4, next. There are four excellent positions which will be In the gift of the Demo crats-clerk of the house, sergeant at-arms, doorkeeper, and postmaster, each with an attractive salary attach ed. The present clerk, Major McDow ell, has already begun to pack bag and baggage preparatory to leaving the capital next spring, and likewise Ser geant-at-Arms Henry Casson, Door Keeper Lyon, and Postmaster Samuel A. Langum, are already on the move. There are four big places around the house end of the capitol, although there are many other incidental posi tions of one kind and another. There must be appointed a secretary to the sjpeaker which place ist niow held by L. White Busby, chaplain, super i intendent of the document rooms, i brarian, and superintendent of the folding room. Minor Appointments. When a new sergeant-at-arms is named to succeed Mr. Casson he will have a very large number of appoint ments to make in his department. All the messengers, majority and minor ity employees, deputies, laborers and others will come under his jurisdic tion. Dorkeeper Lyon, likewise, will have many good places to distribute, in eluding a number of special employees and messengers. The big scramble, however, is com ing over the smaller places, and al ready it is apparent that there will be hundreds of applicants for the secre taryships of the various committees of the house, after the big places have been filled. There are sixty-one com mittees, and each must not only have a clerk, a messenger and assistants, but frequently special employees are placed on the rolls for one reason or another. There will also be special officers, policemen, janitors, messengers, etc., to be named for service in the house office building, where the members of the house are quartered in Washing ton. The only avowed candidate to show himself yet for any of the larger places is Representative Livingstone, of Georgia, who, even before the Dem ocrats were assured of control of the house, began a systematic canvass of the situation with a view to pulling in the desired plum. He is working with his colleagues in the hope of secur ing their endorsement When the first caucus is held next fall.. It is under stood, however, that many others are on their way to Washington for the purpose of placing their candidacy before the members of congress and that they will get In some effective work when the session begins early next month. Embarrassment for Clark! The result in the East Tuesday, when so many new Democrats were elected, will make what is considered an embarrassing situation for Champ Clark if he is elected speaker. It is recognized that in a distribution among the Democratic fa.mily most of the good places would go where 3 the Democratic votes come from the 1South--but Mr. Clark will have to take I care of the places that have added so many to his party. The East and some sections, of the West will Mlaima recognition just as much as the South, and it will be up to him to make the 2 division of places on a fair and equl- 2 table :basis. The legislative, executive and judi- 2 cial appropriation bill passed by con gress 'at each session makes liberal] provision for the payment of the' sal- 1 aries of all employees, from the high- I est to the lowest; in fact this is gen- I erally one of the most liberal of all I] appropriation 'bills passed. Not all of the present employees will be removed when the Democrats get hold of the hous'e machinery, some I retaining their positions through both Democratic and Republican adminis- a trations, but most of the 500 or more ,, now carried on the roll will feel the axe before the end of another year. Many will fall from soft berths and unless they have made provision for the "rainy day" they may be in sore straits before the G. 0. P. again gets in power.
