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

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

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

ight up to the nest, which in r
urn he will study while oc- J
asionally casting furtive glances I
ibout him. 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.
The outcries of the owner of
he nest, of her mate and perlaps
of some sympathetic
teighbors become louder and
nore frantic, but they produce
10 effect upon the intruder, save

mpassive. 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. Then the marauder, after
viping his bill on a branch, will
>etake himself away as silently
is he came. If we follow his
umbering flight with our eyes I
ve will see him light upon the \
op of some tree at a considerable
listance and there give vent to a
leries of strident caws. This, no
loubt, is his way of expressing
atisfaction over his successful
oray.
Germs on Dollar Bill.

scarlet fever, typhoid, tujerculosis
and diphtheria.
No germs were found on

t was found that the larger the
