Thursday, June 6, 1901.
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.

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 '

that he enjoys the misery of single blessed- S
ness.

THE OCEAN SCORCHER.
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.

Origin of the Word Sterling.
The origin of the word "sterling" Is

of the kingdom. The strangers were

"Something Now Under the Sun."
All doctors have tried to cure catarrh

A rather old case has just been decided
by a New York court. 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.?

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.

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.
Consideration.
"My wife is very considerate." said
the newly married man. "She Is always
buying me neckties and colored
shirts."
"And 1 suppose yon are considerate
and generous in your furn."
"Yes. I wouldn't hurt her feelings
for tiie world. I wear 'era."?Washington
Star.
The manuscripts of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries are tn many cases
almost illegible on account of the fadlug
of the Ink. At that time the lampblack
inks passed out of use and chemical
inks became popular.
Deafness Cannot lie Cured
!>V local applications, as tliev cannot
reach the diseased portion of tlu; car.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
wd that, is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllamcd conlition
of the mucous lining of the eusta hian
tube. When this tube gels intlnmcd
ron have a rumbling sound or imperfect
tearing, and when it is entirely closed
ie.tfness is the result, and unless the inlamination
can lie taken out and this
uhe restored to its normal condition,
tearing will be desttoyed forever; nine
ases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
\ hi-It is nothing hit an inllamotl condii
n of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
my ease of deafness (caused hy eatarrh)
