to find a candidate for governor
who favora compulsory education,
let him go n gunning in tho pines of
upper Broad street Ju Camden. Ho
will find him "6 feet in stocking

when he goea to |ho bat in 1914.
C. 1', Hushing, a white man, waa
convicted of the murder of his wife
at Chesterfield last week and sen
tenced to death by electrocution on
tho 18th day of April, This was
one, of tho moat revolting crimes
over committed In that county ?so
much so, says tho Pageland Jour
nal. EKal^aTniougli the man had mor.?
fey enough to employ counsel, there
were no 'attorneys who would take
the ease, and the -court appointed
counsel to defend him. The* case
wa? given to the jury and within
a short time they broought In a ver
dict. of guilty. The prlaon.er stood
and received the death sentence
^with about as much concorn as n
school hoy.
Mr. W." F, Cnhlwell, a Columbia
corrcppondont or the News and
Courier, sends that paper the fol
lowing under date of last Friday:
That former United States Senator
John L. McLaurin will bo Jn the
raoo for governor In 1914, 4h believ
ed by ihose who have been watch
ing recent' political events. Mr.
MoLaurin haa innde no definite an
nouncement of ? his plana, but it Ik
generally understood that he will
offer for governor next year. Mr.
McLaurln's erlllclsin of the legls
lature, "as the product of a cam
paign conducted upon u low plane
of thought, nearly every man the
product of a bitter factional fight,"
brought forth a bitter denunciation
from Representative J; J. Evans to
day, who denounces Mr. McTjUiirin
"as a cheap demagogue and a pol
itician unworthy of the support or
thought or consideration of intelli
gent men." He also denounces
him ns a "Standard Oil Democrat."
It la believed that If Mr. McLaur
in finds enough encouragement that
he will undoubetedly bo lu the race
for governor. He Is at present
atato senator from Marlboro coun
ty.
The candidates to fill the vacancy
in tho First congressional district
have agreed to have a primary elec
tion April 1st; if a second is neces
sary, on April 15; if a third, on
April 22nd. The assessment is
$500 each ? any surplus after expen
ses to bo returned to tho defeated
candidates. -

"He Is lacking In tact."
"Why, I thought be alwaya said
nice things?"
"He does ? but not always tha right
things. He was protesting bis love
yesterday wben we passed an old
woman. I saw my cue and said:
"Will you love me when I get old
and look like that woman?"
'"Of course I will, darling]' he
cried.
"80 I dismissed him. The idea or

thing!"
Women are so particular.
Not at an End, However.
"80 our engagement is jtll over?"
he said moodily.
"I am afraid it is, darling."
There was a note of triumph in her
voice.
"Yott see," ahe explained, "I told it
to my dearest girl friend as a great
secret."
Then, indeed, did he realize that it
was all over. ? Lippincott's.

the timid youth, apprehensively, "I

Possibly.
"How did Rip Van Winkle come to

"I suppose he was waiting for on*

ing the northern and southern boun*
darles of the distinctively rice sec

cerned, South Carolina still produces
the finest rice in the world; but as
a great Industry rice has passed
away from us. Is the passing to be
for all time? None can foretell what
the future may bring forth.
? In the heyday dr rice-growing
"George-town" was a little gem with
In a setting of gold that was fret
ted and fllagreed by innumerable
lines of shimmering silver. Tens
of thousands, of acres of the yellow
coated grain nodded and ripened,
and fed the hungry and enriched
the planters. Probably 26 rice mills
dotted and punctuated the banks
and estuaries of the rivers that
empty Into Winyah bay. Smoke
from the tall stacks of these mills
was visible for miles, from plan
tations situated on the rivers, the
flails on the barn floors, the thump
of the mill pestles in their mortars
and the singing of the happy dar
kies made music, of which we get
only an echo from the past.
No^ these mill sites are all si
lent. Those mills that were not
burned have tumbled down from
decay or been abandoned. Here
and there may be seen a tall and
graceful brick stack standing alone;
silent, dignified ? a monument recall
ing the greatness of the past.
Not one of the fine old mills re

as struggling gave the slightest?
