NOVEMBER 13, 1!H)1. The more fuss a man makes about being compelled to give up \an office the smaller he grows in pub'ic esteem. \ E"on the doctors have taken to V writing fqr press syndicates, but wlint a mighty howl it would occasion if newspaper men should begin writing prescriptions. * Poor old King Eddie! The doctors have cut off his liquor and to'iaoco, and age has destroyed his enjoyment of flirting. No wonder he devotes so much timo to royal etiquette?he has to kill tiipe in some way. * Recent advices from the Philippines report the adoption of the most drnstic laws in regard to treason and some vigorous pro tests from our Filipino subjects, who denounce the laws as more severe than those with which they had to contend under Spanish regime. Of course provision for the severe punishment of trenson, rewards to informers, and violations of individual liberty are insepernble from the colonial policy and must be accepted as inevitable. Prof. W. H. Council, the Alahrma negro educator, speaking at iho Texas State fair, said it was true that in the South "brutes or supposed brutes are illegally put to death in the most fiendish manner," "in the North honest, upright, hard-working negroes are illegally and in a most dastardly manner overawed and outraged for seeking an honest living." Ho therefore concluded that "the negro is safer in the hands of tbo men who followed Lee, who go hand in hand with us daily ami who understand us, than in the hands of any other class of American citizens." * ? Much satisfaction is felt by nil Democrats at the results in Maryland, which insure the return i of Arthur P. Gorman to the Senate. He is an able nnd experienced innn ntul one who has the interest of the party at henrt. He will prove a valuable addition to the Democratic side of the Senate and to the the leaders of the party who will respect his ndvice on all important issues. The returns from Pennsylvania show grontly 1 reduced Republican majorities, but the Republican machine, with Matt Quay at its head, proved too strong to bo overthrown by the advocates of honest government. However, the results of this year's light should be regarded as encouraging, nnd a continuance of the ring in power will insure n still greater repudiation the next time the nnti-corruptionists array themselves against it. President Roosevelt has decided that a man who jilts a girl is not entitled to an appointment in the army, as such conduct may be nrnnorlu .1 j/.vpi-i.j iriuiru VI llllifllll) and contrary to the best interest of the service. Ho hns therefore refused to appoint former Cnpt. William P. Crawford, of Chester, H. C., u second lieutenant in the regular army, and thereby satisfied the girl's friends, who have made , a determined fight against the j the young man's appointment. There is nothing against young Crawford on file save the fact that he refused to marry the young woman to Whom he was engaged, and there would have been no obstacle in thfe way of his appointment had 8 ae not permitted her relativea ar d friends ^o protest pgginpt bis selection. & Arrested for Bigwny. Charlotte Qhsorvor, 7th. Policemen Shields and Crowell yesterday arrested a man named J^ewis Moore, at the home of liin mother, in Dilworth, on the charge of bigamy. Moore was married Tuesday morning to Miss Lizzie Mullis, nt the home of 'Squire Bailee, across the line in South Carolina. His arrest followed shortly after his return to the city with his bride. It is charged that Moore was married in Chesterfield, S. C., to a Miss Rivers, and that by this marriage he had four children. His first wife became ill n.wl I! 11.. 4 4 l\. . 1 r (tint nun timing ncill IU llll' IIOIIIO U1 her parents in Chesterfield l>y the congregation of Westminister Pres! byterian church, of which she was a member. Moore claims thnt his marriage to Miss Rivers was illegal and that he had nil the time been living with her unlawfully and at the the home of his mother. It developed that Miss Mullis had been warned that Moore was a married man, and Moore had beon warned that if he married Miss Mullis ho would be arrested on the charge of bigamy. Relatives tried to prevent their marriage, but tin- uece-sfully. Even after being locked up yesterday. Moore brazenly contended that he had done 110 wrong. Lewis Moore, the man referred to above, was married, the firbt time, by Rov. R. A. Yongue, now pastor of the Methodist church at this place, who, since the foregoing article appeared in The Ob- 1 server, has written that paper as follows: "In 18!tl or 1892, at Ebenezer church, near Chesterfield, S. C., 1 married one Lewis Moore to Miss Rosa Rivers. Is this the man arrested a few days ago for bigamy? T K>'U In' Tlio ( WiHurwor flint I1.1 I married by Mr. Bailee and he declares that ho was not married to Miss Rivers. 1 only write in justice to a good girl (if this is the Lewis Moore, I mean). I was her pastor and they wore married just before service. She was a daughter of Ike Rivers." Monday's Observer contained the information that Moore was sent to jail in default of $500 bond. ? Sr. Hack's Article Attracting Attention. Atlanta Constitution. The personality of the devil has been a cause of disquietude to some learned controversialists, some of whom are inclined to reduce him to being a mere vapory cause, rather than an active party, i The latest phase of the discussion, however, is not an attack up- j on the devil's definite existence, I but a defense of his comeliness, j The popular idea of the devil, with cloven feet, a forked tail and leering countenance, does not seem to be borne out by Scriptural description. Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack, a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman of South Carolina, feels that the mission of the devil is demeaning enough, without detracting from his personal attributes. The devil was chief among the angels, therefore must have had angelic loveliness. According to Ezekiel, he was "perfect in beauty," and St. Paul refers to him as "an angel of light." The devil, there fore, is an angel, with purposes made malignant, hut with all his original comeliness. There have been painters who preferred to present him thus, and the picture of the fallen archangel, driven out of heaven as described by Milton, recalls a strong man indignant. Dr. Mnck has done the devil a service in thus stripping away the mask thrown over him by Dante and lUinyan. Great Luck Of An Editor. "For two years all efforts to cure Eczema in the palms of n?y hands failed," writes Editor EL N. Lester, of Syracuse, Kan., "then I was wholly cured by Bucklen's Arnica Salve."

Bounty for Vetorans of Lato War, South Carolina veterans of the late war between thiR country and Spain will no doubt be pleased to learn that the test ease recently carried before the United States court by the attorney general, on an appeal from the court of claims, which provided for a honritv of SI0(i f<?r nil ImnnrnKlv discharged soldiers, has been decided in favor of the soldiers. The South Carolina men, as well as the other soldiers throughout the country, have been making a determined fight for this bounty. The movement to influence the Federal authorities to pay it was begun soon after the close of the war and since that time the question has been liotly contested in the courts. \ SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

The railroad commission will visit Greenwood officially on tlio 18th instant to investigate the question of a union depot for that city.

There was a vory unusual call for the Columbia tire department Friday evening nbout 7 oelock. The Seaboard's fast mail from Savannah came in with the mail and baggage cars on fire.

The cotton growers' nssocifition of Honea Path, Anderson county, recently adopted resolutions ask- ; ing the governor to call meetings J of farmers and cotton growers in every section of the State, in each ccunty, for the purpose of organizing cotton growers' associations, looking to the organization of a State association which would do | something. Goorge Anil, of Pomaria, tells the Newberry Herald and News of a snake killed by him which looked as if it had had a rather large dinner, and it was found that ' it had swallowed a white door knob, doubtless taking it for an egg. It was partly encysted,showing that it hail been there for some time, and was preparing to make its permanent abode with the snake. Geo. R. Koester, revenue collector, hns appointed George Washington Murray, deputy for the eastern part of the State, to succeed Deris, resigned.

Mr. Robert Cnpps, who is well known in this place, was seriously injured at his gin house, about ten miles north of Fort Mill, Saturday morning. Mr. Cnpps went to the gin house early in the morning and began his day's work. Everything went along all right until about 11 o'clock, when something got wrong with one of the gins, and an investigation was begun. Mr. Cnpps [crawled underneath the gin to ascertain what the trouble was, when his clothing caught inj the cogs, and, although he put forth his utmost strength to extricate himself, the murderous wheels drew him iu. The machinery was stopped as quickly as possible, and the unfori tunato man was lifted, torn and 1 bleeding, from the gin. Air. Capps was carried to his i home, nearby, and a messenger i was sent for medical aid. I'pon examination the physicians found ' that his left arm was broken in 1 two places, a four-inch gash was cut in his breast, the flesh for an inch or more was torn from his chin, and a bad gash was indicted over his left eye. There were grave fenrs for a a time that Mr. Capps would not recover, but the latest report from that section is that he is deploying and, it is thought, will lie out again in a short while.

An amusing story is going the rounds of the press to the effect that Governor McSweeney had an unique experience as a result of confetti and rubber ball throwing that marked the close of Columbia's fair. About live hundred young fellows, mostly boys, formed in double linos in front of the leading hotel and the stream of pedestrians were pelted and caned. Finally a squad of police was telephoned for. They charged in and each one grabbed a boy. One was the son of a prominent citizen. Just then Gov. McSweeney, hurrying to meet an important engagement at the hotel, came up the street. This little prisoner seized him and begged to be relieved from the guard house. The | governor offered to deposit the i tine. The policeman declined. The governor promised to call i later, lint his friend held him with a death like grip. The policeman started otl' with the boy, and the boy pulled the governor. A great rrowij gathered, and the confetti throwers planned a rescue, but the patrol wagon came up, and governor and boy were hustled in and ] taken to the lock-up. Hundreds followed and surrounded the station house, where the governor was kept for half an hour until the chief of police permitted relatives to put up a forfeit for the hoy, who so summarily and per.-istently held the chief executive a prisoner.
