The Senatorial incident is closed. Let is" lis settle down to work now and get the v ? grass out of the crops. Will Adjutant General Floyd kindly inform the public if the expenses of the several military companies who went to . * Chickamauga were paid out of publicfunds. If so, what right had be to spend the money this way. We think Gen. Floyd v showed the plainest kind of favoritism in selecting the companies to go, anyway. Some of the churches complain that candidates for the ministry are scarce. There is no complaint of the scarcity of candidates for political offices. Perhaps ?-- if there were more paying jobs in the h church there would be more candidates L - for them.?Newberry Observer. & And it seems to us that there is never any scarcity of candidates for the few 0* * fat jobs in the churches. It is the shadowy, ghost like positions that are not sought after but rather shunned. -We do not like to say so, but the newspapers of this State are very largely to blame for the recent sensational happenings in politics. Months ago they started a campaign against McLaurin, and in order to answer their charges and ruisrep? resentation of him, was why he accepted invitations to address the people in different parts of the State. We protested against such a course on the part of our brethren of the press. McLaurin was keeping quiet, and we were of the opinion, to say the least, that it was manifestly unfair to him to commence a campaign against him a year in advance. If he had begun his campaign, then it would t have been proper. Of course, the conduct of Senator Tillman in going to Gaffg ney was manifestly improper and unfair, but the conduct of the newspapers made such things possible. - - The Politieal Situation. Gov. McSweeney, when he arrived : ^ home from Chickamauga, promptly returned the resignations of Senators Tillman and McLaurin, giving as his reasons therefor that it would do no good and possibly much harm to have a campaign this year, and that, in his opinion, a ma? - jority of the people were opposed to it. The governor had received many letters requesting him to refuse to accept the resignations and thus avoid the excite menu ana mrmou 01 a political cauipai^u, and the newspapers of the State were ^ almost unanimous in their opposition to an extra primary. The governor also said in an interview that if the Senators ^Insisted on resigning, he would ask them P to make their resignations effective now, v and he would at once appoint their suecessors. Senator Tillman seemed not to be pleased with the governors action and in his reply talked rather "sassy." McLaurin accepted McSweeney's view of the situation and consented to withdraw his resignation. Tillman has not yetsignified his intention of withdrawing, but we have no doubt but what he will do so, and that we will have no campaign this year. Governor McSweeney's course was decidedly the best, and we are very much pleased that the matter is ended, for this year. Now, if Senator Tillman wishes to oppose McLaurin, he is at perfect liberty to resign and come into next summer's campaign. BEaC ' Denmark Doings. ?~" Denmark, June 4.?The closing exercises of the Denmark High School attracted large audiences, and in degree of influence, the occasion, which has just passed, ranks among the best ever held here. The school has become more and more educative in every detail of work until today it supplies the demands of the community for a more universal centre of the best ideals of true child culture. At one tf*e, it seemed veijtftfobable that the^^km^of teacbMf^duld work next tern^MQ^Hp^K, but the week _ closed with iH^^^ronclusions. Mr. Wig"""*~gins willha\ e charge of the school another year, and Miss Marv C. Leland. the efficient primary teacher, has been retained. Therefore, the two extremes arecer* tamties and the trustees may expect very good results next term with these irapor^**""tant places filled by competent instructors. Four other young ladies in addition to tlfc primary teacher have been elected, but as yet, the trustees have not received their letters of acceptance. Dr. Henry S. Hartzog, president of Clemson College, delivered the annual address Thursday evening before a large audience. The subject of the speaker was, "The power of mind over matter." The entire address supported the thought that the large possibilities of student life are insured through the highest possible types of the intellectual growth. The Doctor is a splendid speaker and a master of choice words. His address was in every sense a true appeal for higher education. Friday evening the pupils of the school carried out a very line program and received the plaudits of their huudreds of friends and visitors. "The May Pole ' Drill," was the most attractive feature of ] the evening, the presentation of which ? was done with grace and accuracy. The ' entire audience was delighted, y Rev. A. C. Wilkins preached a very ( - fine sermon at the Baptist Church Sun- i day morn^r. Mr. Wilkins is a logical, 1 concise spacer. The paramount phase of success which crowns his efforts, may be said to be wholly in the quality of ; common sense which he possesses most i superabundantly. There is standing ' againsi Mr. Wilkins but one grave charge ' ?Sr~" - after his departure. The ladies declare . that he enjoys the misery of single blessed- S ness.

He Who Brass Abont How Many Times He Has "Crossed." The ocean scorcher, the woman or man who was forever bragging about how many times he had "crossed," is, thank heaven, on the decrease. Fashion has at last set the seal of her disapproval on him, and he is rapidly becoming obsolete. The fashion is now never to mention the number of times one has been to Europe. "The last time I was over" is the way to refer to an over the water experience if you wish to be in the vogue. Of course you may, if you truthfully can, say "the time before last I was over" or "the tenth time I crossed" or "during my seventh trip through Europe," but a great majority, you will find, say "the last time I was over." It is safer?when one has been over but once. Pin many of these travelers so fond of relating their European experiences down to the figures, and you will find that "the last time I was over" bears a close relation to the little boy who said he was next to the head of his class, to have It transpire later that the class consisted of himself and a little girl. "The last time I was over" may, like as not, have been the first. Still anything is better than the ocean scorcher and his bragging. To him it didu't matter where he hadn't been or what he hadn't seen or anything, but simply how many times he had crossed. The one time on record that any one was known to get ahead of these rr*oa irhon a Infr nf tlipm were W.VI V,UCiO VV U0 if uvu ? sitting swapping lies on a certain steamship deck and a nonscorclier, having learned that the star scorcher's record was 188 runs, remarked, "There's a man on board who has crossed 5GG times." Then, as the excitement caused by the news somewhat subsided: "He's never been anywhere except to the two ports Liverpool and New York. He's never seen anything, he's never done anything, but Just cross the ocean 5GG times?he's the ship's barber."?New York Sun. He Hacked Off His Leg. Caught In a bear trap on the banks of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me., John McLeod^ a lumber scaler, was obliged to take put his jackknlfe and cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy to move and was sprung in such a way that he could not reach over and release It. He was far from any human being, and the only way out of it seemed to be to cut off the leg. That was done easily, because the leg upon which he operated was of wood. But when he stumped back to camp It made him mad to hear the jeers of the French-Canadian cook of the lumber crew. "Why you no take off you whole wood laig, ah? You get out um tlirap and no spile you wood laig 'tall, ah?" Such a way out of his difficulty had not occurred to McLeod before. Skill In Throwing Off Mail Bags. The busiest clerk In any crew or car Is the one who is detailed to receive and throw off the sacks and pouches. To lift a heavy mail sack and throw it ' X- - _ II. from a car moving at ine rate 01 u mm; a mlnnte is a matter of good target shooting.

Then, the suction of a train running at this speed is something terrific, and until the knack of throwing a pouch Is learned a man is liable to feed the wheels with a few letters."?Saturday Evening Post Origin of the Word Sterling. The origin of the word "sterling" Is very curious. Among the early minters of coin in northern Europe were the dwellers of eastern Germany. They were so skillful In their calling that numbers of them were Invited to England to manufacture the metal money of the kingdom. The strangers were known as "easterlings." After a time the word became "sterling/' and in this abbreviated form it has come to imply what Is genuine in money, plate or character. Quits.

Allen, of Cambridge, that he had an abounding sense of humor?humor that crops out in a fund of anecdotes. To the person who wondered at the possibility of the whale swallowing Jonah lie said : "There was no difficulty. Jonah was one of the minor prophets." Contrasting the ancient church with the modern, he remarked that the early devout tried to save their young men from being thrown to the lions. "Now," he added, "we are glad if we can save them from going to the dogs." A clergyman going abroad talked in jest of bringing back a new religion with him. "Von mi"-ht have some trouble in pet ting it through the custom house," someone remarked. "No," observed Bishop Brooks; "we may take it for granted that a new religion would have no duties attached." A person, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seemed to lead moral lives, and Brooks promptly disposed of it. "They have to," said he. "They have no God to forgive them if they don't."? Youth's Companion.

In one of the upper counties of the State a prison guard was discharged for using profane language in the presence of prisoners at work in the stone yard. He brought suit for reinstatement, claiming that vigorous language was necessary to the proper i i>cipline of the convicts under him, and that the use of such language by him was not sufficient ground for his discharge. The court agreed with the ex-guard, and ordered him to be reinstated. As a side issue, when the swearing guard was discharged, it was found that it took three non-swearing men to do his work. It vigorous language is an aid to executive ability, maybe that is why the New York preacher made use of it some time ago.? Savannah News.

Kiwi is the name of one species. Beautiful mats are made of the feathers of the white variety, but it takes ten years and more to collect enough feathers to make even a small mat which would sell for about Birds without song belong to Hawaii. In Honolulu one sees a bird about the size of the robin, an independent sort of fellow, that walks I I ' t-M IL lllvt" il tlllLMII, lllMCail Ul IIUJI" ping like .1 well trained bird of the United State?, and it has 110 sons. A bird that walks and swims, but does not fly, is the penguin. No nests are made by penguins, but the one egg laid at a time by the mother is carried about under her absurd little wing or under her leg. The largest of flight birds Is the California vulture or condor, measuring fromtipto tip OK to 10 feet and exceeding considerably in size the true condor of South America. The bird lays but one egg each season?large, oval, ashy green In color and deeply pitted, so distinctive In appearance that it cannot be confounded with any other. The California condor is rapidly approaching extinction and museums all over the world are eager to secure living specimens. It is believed that there Is only one in captivity. Another large bird is the rhinoceros bird, which is about the size of a turkey. One recently shot on the island of Java had in Its crop a rim from a small telescope and three brass buttons, evidently belonging to a British soldier's uniform. A bird which is swifter than a horse Is the road runner of the southwest. Its aliases are the ground cuckoo, the lizard bird and the snake killer, snakes being a favorite diet. In northern Mexico, western Texas and southern Colorado and California it is found. The bird measures about two feet from tip to tip and is a dull brown In color. Its two legs are only about ten inches long, but neither horses with their four legs nor hounds nor electric pacing machines are in it for swiftness when it comes to running. Most curious are the sewing or tailor birds of India?little yellow things not much larger than one's thum. To escape falling a prey to snakes and monkeys the tpilor bird picks up a dead leaf and flies up into a high tree, and with a fiber for a thread and its bill for a needle sews the leaf on to a green one hanging from the tree. The sides are sewed up, an opening being left at the top. That a nest is swinging in the tree no snake or monkey or even man would suspect Many a regiment cannot compare In perfection of movement with the flight of the curlews of Florida wingingthelr way to their feeding grounds miles away, all in uniform lines In unbroken perfection. The curlews are dainty and charming birds to see, some pink, some white. Birds in flight_often lose their bearings, being blown aside from their course by the wind. In this case they are as badly off as a mariner without a compass In a strange sea on a starless night. All very young birds, by a wise provision of nature, are entirely without fear until they are able to fly. The reason of the delayed development of fear is that, being unable to fly, the birds would struggle and fall from their nests at every noise and be killed. Suddenly, almost in a day, the birds develop the sense of fear, when their feathers are enough grown so that they can fly. I" nlf'M'fl n onnpno t\f tf? XI 19 <IJ \? (i J O ti, o\/ui Vk. II vt'Mv* arctic explorers to find such quantities of singing birds within the arctic circle, They are abundant beyond belief. But the immense crop of cranberries, crowberries and cloudberries that ripen in the northern swamps accounts for the presence of the birds. A stick of wood feven inches long and a quarter of an inch in diameter was once taken from a wren's nest It is very singular that so small and delicate a bird should use such rough material with which to construct its nest If an eagle should use material proportioned to its size. Its nest would be made up of fence rails and small saw logs. The extraordinary situations in which nests are found occasionally almost give one the impression that birds must be endowed with a sense of humor. For Instance, a wren built its nest upon a scarecrow, a dead sparrowhawk, which a farmer had hung up to frighten away winged ravagers of his crop. In the pocket of an old Jacket hanging in a barn a bird, also a wren, made its nest, which when discovered contained live eggs. It was a robin that raised a young family in a church pew and a robin that built its nest In the organ pipes of a church. Places of worship have always been favorite building places for birds.
