The state should certainly be redistricted, and Ave hope the Weston bill or one equally as good will pass. Editor Terrell, of the Johnston Monitor, had a good part of his editorial column devoted to scriptural quotations last week, which we do not quite under, stand. When a newspaper editor gets to quoting scripture by the yard, something serious niust be the matter. The legislature should do the sensible thing and fix the date for the payment of taxes the last day of January.- Each year the time is extended, which causes confusion and inconvenience to many. Extend the time to February 1st permanently, and lia\*e done away with this question of extension Avhich twbs up ever)' year. m Instead of completing the State house, building a new Executive mansion, and appropriating people's money to Charleston's exposition, the legislature had best be increasing the pensions to the old Confederate soldiers. If the State is rich enough to do all these things, surely it can afford to increase the miserable pittance now being received by these old heroes. The election of Miss Barron, of Clarendon, as State librarian last Tuesday was a worthy tribute to a worthy woman, and, as a warm supporter and friend of the successful young lady, this newspaper takes especial pride in the result. If the gentlemen of the legislature would - act as wisely on all election occasions, the public service would be greatly benefittedWe are glad that our Govan friends are taking steps for a special levy for school purposes. They can make no better investment, and the small tax proposed will not be burdensome on any one. Join the procession of advancement and progress, friends, and show to the world that Govan does not propose to be backward in educational matters. You can do nothing that will help your town and community more. Abe Lincoln said: "You can fool all ? the people some time; you can fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time." That's just as true to-day as when old Abe said it Trickery and chicanery may succeed for a while, but it will not succeed always. ThAi* ie <snr?? tn rnmp n rlftv nf reckoning. J 0, and that person who cannot afford to have the searchlight of truth turned on all his actions will find that double-dealing does not pay. _ While there are some good things in State Superintendent of Education John J. McMahan's bill providing for expert supervision of the country schools, still this plan will not dq for Bamberg county at present. Certain it is that school matters should be taken out of politics entirely. It is also true that a man who has little education and no training and consequently no practical ideas on tha management of schools, can be of no benefit to the school affairs of any com- 1 munity. "Every man to his calling," as the old saying puts it, and without competent management any business or sys# tern must retrograde. So it is well that our school affairs should be managed by persons who know something about what they are doing. But Bamberg county is not financially in condition for the change just now. Two years from now some change should be made. As it is, with the office of County Superintendent of Education tacked on to that of Auditdr, our schools are bound to be neglected, but with a new and small county and little money for the schools, it is the best we can afford at present. But there is great room for improvement, not only in this county, but in many others all over the State, and we hope to see the entering wedge driven. Let the legislature take the McMahan bill as a basis and work out from it a law that will meet the requirements of a people who are daily awakening to the necessity and importance of a modern, up-to-date school system. ' Wofford Alumni Hall Burned. Spartanburg, Jan, 18.?The alumni hall of Wofford College was burned this morning. The tire was discovered in the upper story about 2 o'clock. It caught either in one of the rooms or in the attic above. It is nearly a mile from the headquarters of the fire department and, owing to the hour and the high wind, the firemen did not hear the alarm and the response was rather slow. The attic and fourth story m ere burning when the first reel team arrived. It Mas found impossible to save the building. The furniture and trunks of the inmates in th upper story were burned. The most of the furniture on the first and second story was taken out. Prof. Mason I)uPre saved his library, but it was much damaged. Al>out forty students had rooms in the building. Mrs. Reedcr was the matron, but she had been very unwell for some time and had to be carried from the building. The hall was built by the alumni of the College about ten years ago at a cost of $10,(MX). Some additions have been made since that time. It was insured for only $o,000. The furniture had no insurance at all. At first view it looks as if the fitting cphrml would luivi* tn hp lin^npnded fnr the balance of the session. But the faculty and local trustees are considering the condition this morning and it is probable that arrangements will be made to go on without aiiy cessation. The walls of the building have given way and when rebuilt it will have to be from the ground.

Hopkinson Smith Declares "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Vicious. Boston, January 10.?"Uncle Tom's Cabin," said F. Hopkinson Smith, the author, in an address before the Newton Club last night, "is the most vicious book that ever appeared. It compares with Kenuan's rirst book on Russia. I could go into the prisons of the North to-day and write a similar book. The book precipitated the war and made the North believe nothing but the worst of the South. We are not an inhuman people; we are alike; we are Americans. It was an outrage to raise the North against the South. The book was an appalling, awful and criminal mistake." His attitude in regard to the famous old book was so novel in this part of the country that he was asked at his rooms in the Hotel Touraine this afternoon to explain how he came to take it. SAYS MRS. STOWE WAS PREJUDICED. "Well, Mrs. Stowe went down there into the South," he said, "with the avowed intention of finding the conditions which she described in her book. She staid there only three monfhs, and she told her story as if it was all. there was to tell. But there were hundreds of Southern people who believed that slavery was wrong. My father believed it and gave his slaves their freedom in 1S.V>. And he was a Virginian, a man who believed in State rights." Mr. Smith added with some vehemence, "And one who would have fought for them, too, when there was need. For Mrs. Stowe to write the book was as if I should come here and go through your state prison, listen to all the tales of hardship I could gather there, then come out and write a story, based on these tales, as if they were of the sort to give a fair idea of the kind of treatment your prisoners received. BOOK PRECIPITATED THE WAR. "Your people would be aroused by that kind of thing. And I say the publication of Mrs. Stowe's book, taken in eonjunction with the presence of hot-headed Southerners in Congress, precipitated the war. It was an outrage to draw a line acrose the country and say that people on one side were kind-hearted and that the people 011 the other side were cruel. But that is what the book did. I Do you wonder that the Southerners in Congress were not much inclined toward compromise after that? "When the book appeared it was useless to reply to it. No Northern magazine was open for a repjv. Most of the learning was in the North, as well as all the influential publications, and a Southern reply could do little good in the columns of a country newspaper. "I have tried to tell about this because I know the conditions. I lived in the South as a boy, was brought up among the slaves, loved my 'old mammy' and hugged and*kissed her as if she w ere white; know that she loved me as much or more than she did her own children* and would do so as long as she lived. But since the war I have lived in NewYork and I know how Northern people feel. I know that the feeling has changed in the years and that people see things differently now. NEGROES MUST BEGIN AGAIN. "Why, that man, Booker Washington," said Mr. Smith, impulsively, "and the only one of the whole lot who understand what the negro people really need, knows that they've got to go way back and begin all over again where they started their in freedom."

Deak Herald: In preparing an essay for the Epworth League recently, I was much impressed with the life of the greatest man England ever produced. I allude to Anthony Asoley Cooper, seventh Earl of Shaftesbury. I have made a broad assertion in saying he was the greatest man in England, when I contemplate the array of distinguished writers, poets and noblemen |she claims, but to doubt it is to show one's ignorance of the number of reforms, and immense amount of good he accomplished for the poor, the oppressed, the degraded of England. Fourteen years he plead in behalf of the factory women and children, in the House of Commons, enduring the sneers, threats and condemnation of the strongest incorporated companies. When the bill was passed and the grateful creatures sought to praise him?he declared in modesty "You owe your feedom to religion and not to me." His advocacy for a bill of protection against cruelty to the insane, is sufficient alone to have brought his name down to posterity. He had the bill carried and the unfortunate wretches received humane treatment and cleanly cells. Turn next and see that he was first to look nfter the chimney sweeps of London, and out of one hundred and sixty-eight, that were examined by a commissioner, only six could write and twenty-six read. They received a hearing in the House of Commons anil were provided for. In due time, the mining women and children were protected and their burdens greatly relieven. The present boot-black brigade was instituted by this noble man and employment given hundreds of waifs that knew only vice and cruelty. His heart was as big as his body and tinfountain of sympathy and love for tinpoor kand wretched gushed therefrom. I Perhaps no feature of his character was ! more noticable than his extreme modesty and humbleness. And though fifteen years have passed since he went to Jesus, methinks the welcoming plaudit is still echoing from the walls of Heaven. His religion, so pure, so simple, will he an impetus to discouraged souls us long as the ages roll, for the "work of a good man can never die." Peace to his ashes! The Epworth League is doing a line j work at this place, the meetings are per- j feet feasts of good feeling and learning.

There was no more popular or well known young man in the city than Willie Flenniken. He was the friend of everyone and. although only 2? years of age, was in active business and had for some time been the manager of the Columbia I -i 1111 .-mi] Investment Cnnimnv of Co luinbiu, attending to their general insurance and real estate business. It was the most fearful of accidents. Mr. Flenniken was in the best of health and spirits, young, prosperous and well liked by all and an only and idolized son. I Exactly how the accident occurred will never be known. Mr. I). R. Flenniken, Mrs. Flenniken and the young man finished their breakfast shortly before 9 o'clock, Mr. 1). R. Flenniken had gone out to his ollice, and Mrs. Flenniken and her son sat down and talked for a while. After a while Mr. W. C. Flenniken went t<> his room to get his gun and the first that was known of the accident was when Mrs. Flenniken saw the prostrate form of her son in his bed room, dead. Mr. Flenniken had tsxlked with Mr. Geo. Dial and another friend about going hunting, and had told them that he had not been out hunting since Thanksgiving, and he would like to go out for some recreation. Mr. Dial said he would go | with him, and they agreed that they | would go out hunting somewhere near Columbia to-day or to-morrow, both having horses. WENT TO OET HIS OCX. This morning at breakfast Mr. Flenniken went to get his gun and while taking | it out was killed. It seems that the gun, which was of the hammerless sort, rested in a corner near the door, between the wall and a bureau, The door is hard to open and Mr. Flenniken, it is thought, leaned over to reach the gun, and in taking it out from its resting place it struck against the bureau and jarred and tired the fatal load into the neck and head of the young man. The gun was of the hammerless make, which is said to be always cocked and ready to tire, after lieing loaded, and the jar would have exploded it. Mrs. Flenniken heard a noise, as if the lid of a trunk had fallen, but did. not think it amounted to anything. A KKIOHTKCL DISCOVERY. About an hour later.she went into her bed room, which is directly under that of her son, and found a drop or two of blood on some garments. She inquired of the cause and looked up to the ceiling and saw a stain on on the wall. She asked the butler if he had l>een up-stairs and he said that he had not been, and then it suddenly dawned on the horror-stricken mother that an accident must have occurred up-stairs. She ran up and found the door held open by the feet of her son and he was dead. Dr. B. W. Taylor was sent for, but he could do nothing, as death must have been instantaneous. A formal coroner's inquest was held, at which, after hearing brief evidence, the jury brought in a verdict that death resulted from the accidental discharge of the gun. Everyone in Columbia sympathizes most sincerely with the bereaved parents. Mr. W. C. Flenniken was l>orn and reared in Winnsboro, and has lived here for a number x>f years. Bu ford's Bridge Breezes.

A story printed in the Washington Post last Sunday relating how Senator Tillman of South Carolina, met an audience out in Nebraska ignorant of "Dixie," recalls an incident somewhat similar which befell Representative Allen, of Michigan, when stumping in the South.' At Harrinsonburg, Ya., he met Representative W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Ken tjcky, in joint discussion. Both the demoerato and republicans had brass bands present. The republican band c ime from the neighboring village of Rushville and its members were gavly attired in uniforms of red. When the congressman from Michigan was introduced he arose and requested that the band play the ever-inspiring "America." The request seemed to throw the musicians into confusion. One member of the band stepped forward and told the congressman that they could not play "America," but that there was another inspiring air with which thev were very familiar, Mr. Allen accepted the situation gracefully, and the bandmaster rejoined his musicians. A moment later the band was playing "Dixie" with all its might and main. The republicans were chagrined and the democrats went into convulsions, but 110 one seemed to enjoy the incident more than Mr. Allen, though for the lirst few minutes of his speech he kept his face with manifest difficulty. At the recent meeting the board of truetees of Clemson college decided to extend the session two weeks in order to make up the time lost during December. Commencement will begin 011 the 21st flf June. It was also decided to build a pest house, to be used in case of contagious diseases in the future. Jefferson Pa vis Arrested in Atlanta. "Did you know that Jefferson Davis was once under arrest in Atlanta on a charge of robbery?" said Governor Candler, while in a reminiscent mood the other afternoon. "There are probably less than a dozen living persons to-day who know of the fact." he continued. "I believe it was in the vear 1 S.V.I, when * Mr. Davis was a member of the I'nited j States senate, that lie passed through Atlanta en route to his home in Mississippi from Washington. "He came in over the Ceorgia railroad from Augusta. As he stepped from his train in front of Atlanta's lirst depot, he was seized by two burly policemen, who informed him that he was under arrest. "The officers exchanged smiles of satisfaction over the easy capture of their game, as they pulled the prisoner to one side and fastened handcuffs upon him. "'My friends' said Mr. Davis, 'you must have made a mistake, what charge have you against me?' " 'The charge is all right,' hissed the proud officers of Atlanta's police department. 'You are the man we want, and not half so slick as you think you are.' "I am sure there is a mistake somewhere," continued Mr. Davis, not trying to reveal his identity to them. "'Would you mind carrying me before Dr. Calhoun for identification, or some other of your prominent citizens that I may name?' "One of the officers was in favor of giving their prisoner the privelege of identifying himself before Dr. Calhoun, who was the father of Atlanta's present esteemed citizen, Judge Lowndes Calhoun. The other officer persisted in locking him up at once, believing that he only wanted an opportunity to escape. "It was finally agreed to, and securing a good hold to each arm of their prisoner, they started for the home of Dr. Callinnn "''Why, howdy do, Senator Davis," cried out Dr. Calhoun, as he opened his door. "I afn so glad to see you. When did you leave Washington, and how have you been getting along?' '"Well, said Mr. Davis, 'I thought I was doing very well until I landed in Atlanta a few moments ago, and I was arrested for a robber. I brought these officers around here to you that the matter might be straightened out.' "'My kingdom, men!' cried out Dr. Calhoun. 'Did you not know that you had arrested Senator Jefferson Davis? I am ashamed of you both. Release this man and leave here and l>e more particular in the future.' "I think at the time Dr. Calhoun was mayor of Atlonta," said Governor Cand ler. "The arrest of Senator Davis happened in this way," continued the governor. "The police in Atlanta had been notified by the police of Augusta to look out for a man, giving a description that corresponded somewhat to the appearance of Mr. Davis, who wore a glass eye just as the description outlined. "The man was wanted on a charge of robbing a passenger on the train between Columbia, S. C., and Augusta, and was believed to have boarded the train in. Augusta for Atlanta. "So Senator Davis was unfortunately? as the officers claimed?an exact prototype of the outlaw they were after. "The policemen were greatly mortified over their mistake and especially the manner in which they handled their prisoner. "This act was probably the greatest humiliation that ever befell a member of Atlanta's police department."?Eugene Whitehead in Atlanta News. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery why women endure backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. "I suffered tor years with kidney troubles," writes Mrs. Phebe Cherely, of Peterson, la., "and a lame back pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Bitters whollj' cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework."

Mark Twain can thank his daughter for the pleasure he had in witnessing the production of "Gay Lord Quex," at NewYork the other evening with John Hare in the leading role, relates the Chicago Chronicle. Mr. Clemens is a warm admirer of the English comedian, and when he expressed a desire to witness his performance Mr. Frohman promptly begged him to accept a box for a certain evening. When the humorist marshalled his family up to the Criterion box office and asked if a box had been reserved for Mr. Clemens, he was met by an urbane and polished negative. With that desperately foolish look which always distinguishes the victim of j a box oflice chill, he sidled out from behind the brass rail, to be greeted by an unfilial jeer by his daughter. "I think, father, dear, there's a marked wane in your popularity," she laughed. "Oh. did you say Mark Twain?" cried the box oflice man. "I beg your pardon. There is a box for Mark Twain." He handed out the envelope, and it was thus that the humorist was able to beam upon play and players from a much-observed box. Beat Out of an Increase of His Pension. A Mexican war veteran and prominent editor writes: "Seeing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, I am reminded that as a soldier in Mexico in '47 and'4S, I contracted Mexican diarrhoea and this remedy has kept me from getting an increase in my pension for on every renewal a dose of it restores me." It is unequalled as a quick cure for diarrhoea and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale hv Bamberg Pharmacy. Here is a problem in mathematics which those who are so inelined may ponder over. The other day one of the workmen employed in making some repairs on the desks of the house lost a black handled tile. lie requested the speaker to announce the loss and ask that if any member had found it. it be returned. This was done. It is estimated that a session of the legislature costs the tax payers of the state about ss."i() a day, which, calculating eight hours as a day's work, is at the rate of $120 an hour or $2 per minute. It took the speaker probably a minute to make the announcement of the loss of the tool and request its return, so that the losing of the aforesaid black handled tile, wiiich did not cost when new more than 50 cents, entailed an additional sum of $2 to the burden of taxation, which the people of the state will have to bear (hiring the coming year.

' Suspicious of Hilii. | It was rain in-: the otlicr day. An angular woman, wearing a mackintosh, sitting next to Gen. Joe Wheeler, in a street ear. rose to get <>1T at Fourteenth and F streets, says the Washington correspondent of the New York World. Gen. Wheeler noticed an umbrella leaning against the ear seat. lie grabbed the umbrella, ran after the woman, caught her at the door and said: "Pardon me, madam, but you left your umbrella." The woman looked puzzled, but took the umbrella. (len. Wheeler resumed 1 his seat. Then a woman on tin* other side of him gave ;r little scream and said: "Why, you nasty little man, you gave that woman my umbrella." Then she appealed to the conductor. (Jen. Wheeler appologized; but the woman said: "Now you just get right olT the ear and get it for me, or I'll notify the police." Meekly the veteran of three wars tumbled off into the rain and ran after the woman with the mackintosh. He made a hurried explanation, got the umbrella and rushed back to the w aiting car. As lie handed it back to its owner he said: "1 trust you will pardon uie, madam. I assure you it was all a mistake." The woman glared at him. "I don't know about that." she sniffed.

Then a patient looking little woman in a black dress rose up at the back of the room and answered: "There was one. I've heard of her, ? but she's dead now. She-was my husband's first wife."?Youth's Companion. How's This' We offer one hundred dollars reward for any case of catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. .T.
