THEMANINGTIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, September 12, 1894. The Supreme Court convenes to day to decide the constitutionality of the dispensary act of 1893. Ex-Congressman George Johnstone is going to run as an Independent candidate for Congress in the third district against Congressman Latimer, the regular Democratic nominee. General M. C. Butler, in a com munication to the Columbia Register, says he is not after re-election to the United States Senate but that he is after what he terms "the corrupt ring now disgracing the politics of this State." Those opposed to the present ad ministration will make a big mistake if they put a ticket in the field. In our opinion it will only have the ef feet of widening the breach now ex isting between the white people of the State. The State constables are making a great many lquor seizores in the up per portion of the State. If the seiz ures continue at the rate of the past week the cost of maintaining the constabvaiy wNIl be paid by those taking the ebonces of roaning the blockade. C. S. Nettles, Esq., who was the leading attorney for the Yquor men in the dispensary fight before the Supreme Coriv, which declared the dispersaiy act of 1892 nnconstitu tional. is now sueing J. H. Kleinbeck, an ex-saloon keeper, for a balance promised him for his sei ices. Died at Spertenburg last Saturday, Dr. S. B. Jones, aged fifty-eight years. Dr. Jones was a distingnzished member of the S. C. Conference, and recently president of the Colombia Female College, '-om whi"h position be resigned on accornt of ill health Dr. Jones was the father of Mrs. Tal ley, '.Cfe of Dr. A. N. Tsley, Jr., of this olace. _Frarn now on to +ie day of the .eneral election the people will be harassed with the poltical shieks of aspiring politiciars. The "outs" w'1 kick up a whole lot of dust because theyare not ir and the ins -ill wear eamile of satisfaction on ther faces because they feel that the peQple put them in and are going to see that I' dependentismn w l not put them out. A party of Englishmen has been E s~t to Amneica to investigate and denounce Sonthe~ i lnebag's.Th Newv York Wofd- teledhed Gov erno Z1, or bis opinion on the ElgOcVijth ore eff/rs by the En gish~. Tbe Govemnor politely replied ~thit Ahe E nglishmen are welcome to South C .roina to lea the truth, and off'ered them* every facility to ob tain fa'cts. The8 Columbia Joornal, although opposedi o the State administration, tikitwould be p'awise to run an Tdeer~uent ticket this year. The Greenv' 1 Mounitaineer, edited by Col. J. Hoyt,' ex-chairman of the bemoeratie p'trty, is also opposed to in Independent ticket, and so is tbe hareston Son, the Abbeville Press and Bar-ier, the St. Matthews Herald of Orangebrrrg, all Conservative news papers. Dr. Sampson Pope entered the campai for Reform favors, and dinding none, he kicked out and with drew from that contest, but it was only a temporary kick; he spat upon bis hands, took a fresh start and has annorunced his intention to run in the general election. Go it.,. Pope, there is plenty of time between now and November for another immensely huge kick, and even a er the election: isover who will dare stop Dr. Pope from kicking. If we remember coirectly Dr. Pope was such an oltra Reformer that he withdrew his application for the office of United States marshal and de nounced the Presidenta as a mug svdmp. Now he is a candidate for Governor and wants the suppor t of the "true Democracy,"' which is the name assumed by the faction that laim the Reformers are not Demo crats o...ause they differ with the Presidts.t on his financial views. Dr. Pope has succeeded in making 1im self a political "what is it ?". Representative F. H. Weston, one of the Richland county Conservative legisative nominees, was asked by a Register repoi er whether he would suppoi s the regolar Democratic or ganization or the organization of the Independents His reply was, ' The pledge I took reqr'ires me to support' the nominees of the September Dem ocratic convention. By that pledge I prmised to abide the results. One of the results was the election of del egates to the convention. In fulfill ment of that pledge I shall support the nominees." The Senatorial nomi nee of that county holds similar views, and it may be safely said that al though Bichland is a Conseir ative county and opposed to the Reform nominees, that county will roll up a handtme majority for the regular Democratic ticket. It has been decided by some of the Conserative faction to hold a con vention in Columbia next Monday, and from all indications a full State ticket will be nominated in opposi tion to the regular ticket to be nomi aisd on next Wednesday by the D.mocratic organization. There are some Conservatives who disapprove of nominating a ticket, but are willingI for the convention to effect an organ intion for two years hence and then make a fight for recognition in the next Democratic national convention. Mass meetings are to be held in each county next Friday to send delegates to this convention, and whetherthes meetings will be largely attended re mains to'be seen. Clarendon, no mobt will aen alates. At the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias which met in Washington last week, a resolution was adopted providing for a contribution of twen ty cents a member for the support of the Pythian University, at Gallatin, Tenn., where tuition will be given free to the sons of Pythians. It is amusing to the Conservative faction to call themselves the "True Democracy," and they have called a meeting for next Saturday to let each other know how much pleasure they feel in the new name. In 1890 they were Straightouts, in 1892 they were Conservatives, and now in 1894 they are the "True Democracy," and by 1896 they will have to put their heads together for another name. The Reformers are satisfied with the simple name of Democrat, for it is under that name they won many a battle, and under it they will win many more. PECULIAR To ITSELF. Hooi's Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself, in a strictly medicinal sense, in three im portant particulars, viz: first, in the combi nation of remedial agents used; second, in the proportion in which they are mixed; third, in the process by which the active curative properties of the preparation are secured. These three important points make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto unknown. But it is not what we say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story. What Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for others is reason for confidence that it is the medi cine for you. Thousands of new patrons have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla this season and realized its benefit in blood purified and strength restored. An Anti Newspaper's VIeMs. Of course Senator Butler's f.iends must know that he cannot be elected by Democratic votes. The United States Senator is elect ed by the Genera1 Assembly, and it is not to be exFeted that other than Democrats will control the next Leg islato' e. Senator Butler's only hope of ac complishing anything must be in a contest before the U ited States Sen ate. The anti-Tillman faction refased to vote for Haskell in 1890, and it is not to be supposed that any consid erate number of white men will vote for Butler representatives i'1 the Gen eral assembly. The Press and Banner expects to support the Democratic party forever, and having voted in the primary yes terday, we are bound to suppoi t the nominees of the party. We have no such fears, as ex pressed by the Register, that blood shed will result because of Butler's act. As far as we are informed, no body in this county is so extremely anxious to re-elect him Senator, as to induce bicodshed or murder. Bolters will find poor comfort in old Abbeville, where the people abide by the laws of the State, and comply with the rules of their political party. -Abbeville Press and Banner.

During one of his trips to the Coast Range mountains, Joe Cohen, a ped dler, cametoalonely cabin andfound the door wide open. In the center of the fioor stood a cradle, in which was an infant fast asleep. The cradle was rocking with surprising regularity, but no sign of what propelled it could be seen. Joe's curiosity was aroused. He went to the cradle and found a stout cord attached to a nail driven in the side of it. The cord passed through an augerhole in the side of the house. He took up the trail, which soon led him into a ravine where adonkey, or burro, was standing and switchming its tail The mystery was explained. The other end of the cord was tied to the jack's tail, and the constant switch ing of itseaudal appendage furnished motive power sufficient to rock the cradle.-N'ewman Banner. Outwitted by a Moon~hZArZ. When Jack Roper was called in the United States court, he arose and pleaded guilty to working in an illicit distillery. With a number of others, he was sent to one side to await sentence. Working in an illicit distillery Is nothing but a misdemeanor, while operating a distillery is equal to a felony. Roper knew this and entered his plea to working in the distillery, which was accepted. "How long did you worki" asked the judge when the man stood up for sentence. "Oh, 'bout a week, I reckon." "Whose distillery was it?" "My own." The judge looked puzzled, but all he cold dowas to give him a two months' sentence for working in anm Illicit distillery.-Atlanta Journal. Grandiloquent Title. Oriental titles during the middle ages were sometimes very grandil oquent. The king of Arrachan was known as "Emperor of Arraehan, Possesor of the White Elephant, Ownr of the Two Earrings, Legiti mate Heir of Pegn and Brahmna, Lord of the Twelve Provinces of Bengal, Master of the Twelve Kings Who Place Their Heads Under His Feet"-Exchange. Fire Balloon Signals. A fire balloon is a recent invention for signaling by night. The balloon is made of paper, is portable and is inflated by burning spirits or even straw or wood. When ready to as cend, a message string is appended. This is made of combustible beads strng at intervals on a piece of quick match. Different combinations of large and small beads are used to ex pressthesignals.-Kate~ield's Wash intohm OLD TIN CANS. How Every Particle of the Castoff Uten sil Is Now Utilized. In the suburis of great cities an industry hag sprung up, having for its object the utilization of old tin cans. In consequence these former ly despised and useless cans have ac quired sufficient commercial value to rescue them from back lot, dumping ground and garbage scows. Under the present system of street cleaning, the refuse -of New York city is loaded onscows from wharves located at convenient intervals along the river front, and then taken to sea and thrown overboard. These wharves have double decks, the up per projecting sufficiently to allow the contents of a cart to fall upon the middle of the scow and be dig tributed by the trimmers, who keep the vessel on an even keel. The trinners select everything of value with the greatest care, rags, fat, bone, metal, paper stock, etc., being stored on the lower deck of the wharf. The silver and jewelry form no anall part of the contractor's profit, and the total value of a scow load is estimated at an average of $200. The space between the wharf plat forms is often closed in with odds and ends, and the interior converted into a miserable habitation, by the trimmers, men and women, who thus herd together, their supplies be ing drawn from the dump. These dumping wharves are the principal source of supply for the old tin can industry, and a wagon load of cans can be bought at such places for $4 or $5. The furnace is an old soap boiler, into which a few sticks are thrown. The bowlis then filled with cans, and a quart of kerosene poured over them and ignited. The heat developed by the oil is not great enough to at tack the tin, but melts the solder, whidh flows to the bottom of the bowl. The solder recovered from a load of cans averages 40 pounds. After this process the tin plate scrap is sold to make what is called "acid." Into a large, open vat containing waste acid, sulphuric orhydrochloric acid, the scrap is thrown and allowed to remain until the tin is stripped from the iron underneath. More scrap and metallic iron is added until the solution is neutral. The tin thus dissolved is used as a basis for the preparation of stannates or other tin compounds and by dyers The iron plate is rolled into balls for meltingthe ferrous sulphate is purified and sold as commercial cop peras, and the emaining acid is used in repetition of the process.-Youth's Companion. The First Meerschaam. A shoemaker, Kavol Kowates, who in 1823 lived at Pesth, the capi tal of Hungp.ry, smoked the first meerschaumr. pipe. Besides being a shoemaker, however, he was one of nature's handicraftsmen, being gift ed with an intit,ive genius for carv ing .in.-%od and other material. This brought him into contact with Count Andrassy, with whom he be came a great favorite. The count, on his return from a mission to Tur key, brought with him a piece of whitish clay, which had been pre sented to him as a curiosity on ac count of its extraordinarily light, specific gravity. It struck the shoe maker that, being porous, it must be well adapted for pipes, as it would absorb the nicotine. The experiment was tried, and Kavol cut a pipe for the count and one for himself. This frst meerschaum pipe made and smoked by Kavol Kowates has been preserved in the museum at Pesth. New York Post. Uses of Sliver. Silver for other purposes than coin has a very extended use. The uses for it in tableware are well known, and for plating more is consumed than in all other of the industrial arts. It is also used in dentistry,, photography and on mirrors. It is the foundation of indelible inks, is found in surgery and forms a nitrate in medicine. In mineral water ma chines it forms the interior of con densers and the lining of the block tin pipe. It is used in galvanometers, and in electricity where the best con ductor is essential for the most de' cate tests. About $9,000,000 annal is used in the arts in the Unilted Stats, $2,500,000 going into solid spoons and forks.-Hardware. At the North Pole. At the north pole there is only one direction-south. One could go south in as many ways as there are points on the compass card, but every one, of these ways is south-east and west ~have vanished. The hour of day at the pole is a paradoxical conception, for that point is the meeting place of every meridian, and the time of all holds good, so that it is any hour one cares to mention. Unpunctuality is1 hence impossible, but the question grows complex and its practical solu- 1 tion concerns few.-New Orleans Miltary eyolists in Holiand. In Holland the number of military cyclistsfixed at 75' They are en. rolled for a period of five years, and 4 in case of mobilization must be at the disposal of the war minister.
