POLITICIANS ALREADY BUSY CAMPAIGNING FOR OFFICE This Being Election Year in South Car- ! olina, Arrangements are Soon to be Made for Political Meetings. Campaigning in earnest has already been commenced by some of the candidates, this be ?? ing "election year" in South Carolina, and the party machinery will s on begin to move in preparation for the Democratic primaries, which, in this State settle, all contests for office. from United States senator down to coroner. The preliminary meetings will be those of the precinct clubs, the county and State conventions and the State executive committee. On April 23 the precinct clubs will elect their officers, choose delegates to the county convention and name a member of the county executive committee. On May 2 the county convention will meet in the several county seats. These conventions will each elect a county chairman, a member of the State executive committee and delegates to the State Democratic executive committee. On May 18 the State Convention will meet in Columbia. Its work will be largely routine. The only years in which this convention is important are those of presidential elections. The State Democratic executive committee, which handles the machinery of the party, will meet at the call of Chairman Wilie Jones, to arrange for the primaries, the first on August 30, and the second on Septen/.u* 13. The committee will also fix the schedule for the campaign meetings. There will be no campaign for the United States senate this year unless Senator Tillman should resign or some other contingency of that sort should arise, in which case the governor would appoint a senator to serve until the meeting of the General Assembly and the senator for the remainder of the term would be chosen in the primarv this summer, the choice of the primary being merely ratified by the Legislature. This was done when Senator Earle died in 1897. The State campaign proper opens, usually, about June 15, and lasts until about August 15. "Stopped" His Paper. Some time ago a cranky sort of an old man came into this office and stopped his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy, says the Colleton News. We have frequently met him on the street since that time and it is amusing to note the look of surprise on his face, that we are still in existence, regardless of the fact that he stopped his paper. Some day, and it won't be long either, that gentleman will turn up his toes, his heart will be stilled forever. Neighbors and friends will follow his lifeless remains to the cemetery and there lay them to rest beneath the silent elrwla rxf ? - - - ?...V W* IS/H w VIVUO U1 the valley among the flowers. An obituary will be published in these columns telling what a kind father, a good and beloved citizen he was, which the recording angel will overlook for charity's sake, and in a very short time he will be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, coid graveyard, wrapped in the silent slumber of death, he will never know that the last kind word' spoken of him was by the editor of that paper which in life he so spitefully "stopped." Halley's Comet May Be Seen. Halley's comet may now he seen on nights when conditions j are favorable with the aid of an ordinary field glass, according to members of the astronomical faculty at Columbia university, New York. The most favorable time to look for it is between 6:30 and 7:30 p. m., with the glass elevated somewhat above the point where the sun sets. The comet is at present in what the astronomers call the "twi light region." It is in line witSthe sun and its brightness is J therefore killed. It will be visible all through April and May, but at its maximum bril^ liancy on May 18. When the comet is nearest the earth it will be only about 14,000,000 miles away. Sunday afternoon fire damaged the parsonage of the First Baptist church in Rock Hill to the extent of $100. The fire was - caused by a defective flue. The fire department saved the house from greater damage. SUPPL1 PIRATES OF THE BIRD WORLD, t c Forest and Stream. d The jay and the crow have a 0 very bad reputation?that of r robbing other birds' nests?and c it is richly deserved. Which is t the worse it were hard to say. 1 Probably one is as bad as the t other. But their methods are 1< different. . Jj The iav reminds onp of c jolly freebooter of old. He seems to take a pride for amuse- t ment as for plunder. He will approach a nest in full day. The r protests of the owner are met r with jeers of mockery, as it r were. If these coul 1 be trans- f lated into words the result would t be something like this: "Ha! ha! i I like to hear a poor insignificant e little tit like you with common a drab plumage threaten the like t of me! What's the matter with t you, anyway? Do you not see c that I am paying you a dis- c tinguished honor in deigning to \ select your eggs for my break- t fast? You must be a very stupid a bird. Please stop that outcry 1 and leave me in peace." ^ Then after hopping from limb t to limb all about the nest and c displaying his gay military trap- s pings to the full, he will c proceed to pounce upon the eggs, g Quite often as much of these f will be scattered upon the ground as will be eaten. His whole manner is reckless and extravagant. Nor does he exhibit the least fear or appear to be in the c slightest degree conscious that ^ what he is doing is wrong. When his feast is finished he will hop * about again, more gaily and J superciliously than ever, and r finally fly off with a mocking c laugh, while the poor little victim r views the ruins of her hopes \ with despair. 1 How different from all this is * the crow and his manner of pro- c cedure! With the air of a mid- J night maurauder he tries indus- 1 triously to live up to it. He will only approach a nest in the dusk r of morning or evening and his c manoeuvres are stealthy and I cautious in the extreme. After 1 the discovery of the nest he will Q fly off a certain distance and \ takes up a position of observa- . tion. Having satisfied himself I flint tV? urn o rn nn ^M ' utii4v vuviv tii ^ iiv/ n apa ui Mirprises in store he will fly a little nearer the nest. Here he will study the owner, who now has taken alarm and those whom her cries may summon to the spot. If there is nothing to apprehend in the way of attack (and of 1 course, usually there is not), ' the marauder will make his way I We have just bought a larg Oak Top Dining Tables like ( next 30 days at the following 54-inch Quartered Top 8 feet Ion 48-inch " " 8 " " 145-inch " " 8 " " 42-inch " "8 " " 45-inch " " 6 " " 42-inch " " 6 " " I Wo guarantee these tables t work well and give satisfactio go, We pay the freight. 1 W.

I His air at this moment is full L if interest. Dark and fierce and I apacious, there is yet a certain p raven look which seems to beray a consciousness of guilt, ^he whole figure would do credit o one of those becloaked growers we read about as lurking o' J lights in the byways of old ipain or Italy.

At length, when i very thing has been observed ind studied, and there seems to >e no danger imminent, the at- 1 ack is made. This is so vora:ious that in a few minutes all is ?ver.
