You are mistaken, brother, ? we simply asked Bro. Brown a question and he answered it. That's all there is to it. The Barnwell Sentinel stated last week that John G. Capers is one of McLaurin's "political" friends. Our contemporary is mistaken. McLaurin and Capers are warm personal friends, and have been since boyhood, but as Capers is an avowed Republican we do not see how he could be McLaurin's political friend, for he will not have even the privilege of voting for the Senator. The Yorkville Enquirer has produced its authority for its charges made against A. C. Latimer some time ago. Congressman J. William Stokes was its informant, and the portions of letters from Dr. Stokes published by the Enquirer make interesting reading. In these letters Dr. ^^rvn rv 1> r? f T /I if A/1 v/j DWfliCo iuab juauimui uxotx luubvu free passes, solicited orders from his fellow members for a photograph enlarging concern, had his farm set out in grass by a government expert and at the expense of the government, and also stated that he himself refused a pass from Latimer. The Enquirer appears to have proved its case by good authority, for every one in this section who knew Dr. Stokes knew him to be a man of truth and integrity. Facts About Nancy Hart. I have noticed lately in several papers that the Daughters of the Revolution had been searching for the grave of Nancy I--? Hart to mark it, and in their inquiries they had awakened comments on the existence of such a woman. Never before did I know that there was a soul who doubted that Madam Hart was a true character. How can they, if they are familiar with history? To doubt this, one must also doubt other facts set forth by historians. I read her life about two years ago, and as many events connected with her and her surroundings, are still fresh in my mind, I will, for the benefit of others, who may be in doubt, say: Nancy Hart did live, this is an incontrovertible truth. She had a cross eve. red hair, and a freckled face; was thin and very tall. Hunted the deer that afforded hervension and climbed trees for fresh honey. Her fame came about in this wise: One day six Tories went up to her cabin and "demanded dinner. With hospitable manner she bade them be seated at a table and welcome to what she had! They* thought fear prompted the courtesies and chuckled and winked at each other in satisfaction. No sooner had they begun eating than Nancy, who had quietly shifted herself to the corner ?of the room where the soldiers had stackj>; ed their guns, grabbed one and covering the men. dared them move aii inch. Then turning her head slightly to speak to the negro girl, her only slave, said: "Run to the cane brake and whistle for your Marster and tell him to hurry as I have six d?d Tories as prisoners! Nancy was born in Elbert county, Ga., during the eighteenth century; she left there about the year 1825 and settled in Edgefield district. The historian seemed to lose sight of her after moving to Carolina, but I have read recently that she drifted to the West and is supposed to have been buried there. To say the least the purport of our thoughts is this: Nancy Hart, the wife of Benjamin Hart, was no imaginary character; she lived, was flesh and bone and had red hair and a cross-eye! \r n i.ivTpn Candidates for Judge. In all but two of the judicial circuits there will be vacancies next year. As already announced Judge Buchanan will not stand for re-election aDd there are a number of alleged aspirants for that place, among them Solicitor Jno. S. Wilson, of Manning, Mr. R. 0. Purdy and Mr. T. B. Fraser, of Sumter, and Mr. N .. Geo. Galletly, of Florence. As Mr. Purdy and Mr. Wilson are brothers-in-law, one or the other of them may not make the race. As yet there lias been no announced opposition to Judges Gage, Aldrich, Klugh and Watts. Judges Ernest Gary and Townsend were re-elected last January. It is stated, however, that Judge Benet has a formidable opponent, Mr. Clias. G. Dantzler, of Orangeburg. Mr. Dantzler * is supported by the Orangeburg delegation as a unit. He is an alumnus of Wofford and a lawyer of splendid reputation. ?

C iir.stv 11, t?'!i<!ii*. i*?r on Lie i Southern Kail way train hot ween Charleston and Columbia, who liad the thrilling experience with a jobber near Station 5s j last "Wednesday night, returned to 11?e J city yesterday. While his train was rattling through the darkness ('apt Carsten was peeping down the barrel of a 14-ralibre revolver; but lie was not rutllcd and his coolness prevented serious trouble. His timely appearance thwarted the robber in his evident intention of forcing open the express car and he disappeared before the messengers had opened their car. "I am confident that the man was tlior- j oughly familiar with railroad affairs," i said Capt. Carsten to a reporter for The . News and Courier yesterday. After we left Reevesville, on the way to Columbia, I walked from the passenger car to the platform leading to the express car and. as I opened the door, I saw a figure crouched by the opposite door. lie had been knocking on the door and I am sure he was waiting for it to be opened, but in the rush his signal was probably not heard. "The light which came from the car fell on the stranger's face and I could see that he was disguising his identity behind a mask. When I spoke to him he rose quickly. Just then I walked to the platform of the express car and the man swung back to to the steps on the ear behind. While I was trying to find out what he was about he whipped out his pistol and shoved it dangerously near my face. He threatened to kill me if I moved and there was nothing for me to do but wait. "While he had me covered with the revolver I scrutinized him closely. I could see that he wore a mask, which did not fit him well, and he was nervous about it frequently lifting his hand to sec that it was properly in place. In a few minutes the engineer blew his signal for station No. 58, and the stranger caught the bell and gave it two pulls, a signal to stop. The train was slowing down for 58. It was running at the rate of fifteen or eighteen miles an hour when the man jumped off and we went on. The matter was reported to headquarters in Columbia when we got there last night and a detective came down on the train this morning. I have not heard yet whether he struck any trail" Station 58 is where Bartow Warren is alleged to have robbed an express car about two years ago. Warren was arrested, but at the trial in Orangeburg the jury failed to agree on a verdict and the prisoner was released on bail. Later he shot and killed a young man named Wat.tv v-.ni. i i,?.l son at i>rancuvine ueeausc u ntsuu u.ut testified for the prosecution. Warren disappeared and it is thought that lie is still hiding in Orangeburg county. He has friends who will doubtless protect him. The report got started yesterday that Warren was the man who had threatened Capt. Carsten, but this was not confirmed. Capt. Carsten says he has seen Warren, and the stranger on the car was just about Warren's size. He says he weighed about 140 pounds. His face was so well disguised that his features could not be picked out. He did not say that the man was Warren. The railroad people, or rather the train crew, thought that the stranger was planning to hold up the express messengers, but found that the scheme could not work after he had been found on the platform. Rather than have a shooting scrape they think he left, but it was generally believed that the messengers would have had an inning with the robber had not the conductor appeared on the platform when he did.?News and Courier. TRIED TO ENTER EXPRESS CAR. An effort to gain entrance iuto the Southern Express car of the Southern train was made near Branchville last night. It is believed that the attempt was made for the purpose of robbing the express messenger. The train which left the city last evening was boarded at the 58 mile post near the point where Bartow Warren is said - - i J ?i * lO nave ruuueu an express eai auvui iwu years ago. The man knocked on the car door, just as did Warren, the alleged train robber, but the express messenger did not respond to the knock. Captain Carsten of the train had occasion to open the baggage car door to go through the train and as he opened the door a pistol was thrust under his nose and the man who held the weapon commanded him to get back inside and close the door. The command was obeyed. The news boy on the train who opened the door and was ordered to seek cover at the point of a pistol. When the train reached Branchville tqe man jumped from the train and tied into the woods. There is no clue as to the identity of the party. The matter lias been reported to the railroad authorities here. The express authorities have also been notified. The railroad authorities are of the opinion that the fellow was only a tramp stealing a ride, and used his weapon to prevent the conductor from putting him off the trail!.?Charleston Evening Post.

In a letter to Mr. J. K. Blackmail, cd itor of the Greenville JNews, Senator John L. McLaurin gives some very timely and interesting information as to the manner in which foreign governments pay subsidies to their ship owners and the amount paid by each government. Most of the figures are official, being taken from the ' report of the commissioner of navigation for the year 1899. According to the senator's statement. Great Britain pays in various ways the sum of $5,851,525. Germany pays $1,894,620. France pays $7,632,242. Italy pays $2,185,260. Russia pavs $1,371,187. Austria pays $1,724,249. Spain pays $1,629,927. Japan pays $3,492,107. All of the other countries that have ships pay subsidies in varous amounts, and the total subsidies paid by foreign nations foot up $20,355,001. The United States is now paying $998,211 an1 nually. In his communication Senator ' McLaurin does not attempt any argument, but contents himself with a bare 1 statement of facts. The situation in 1 which he leaves some of the South Carolina politicians is interesting. It is like this: Do we want a merchant marine of ' our own, or do we prefer to continue ' paying freight bills to foreigners? If we ' want a merchant marine of our own, can ' we reasonably expect to build up such an ' enterprise in competition with the subsi' dized foreign concerns without paying '' subsidies ourselves? If the foreigners ' find it to their advantage to subsidize their ships in order to put them in a position to carry our freights, would it not pay us to give equal or greater subsidies and carry our freights ourselves. There may be, as some of our contemporaries 1 claim, a "Republican steal'' in this sliip5 subsidy idea; but to our view it looks 5 more like a plain case of business, in J which we are allowing the foreigners to - tlw. lw.tt/..- i\f nU?VnrL-villi' V.iw.nirf r tliv IKUV.1 Vi Uk-.

A (JueiT Movement. That is a nuccr Movement on the part of State Chairman Jones. Finding that his home business interests <lo not permit hint to make the race for the Senate, lie withdraws and urges the other candidates to do the same so that (Jen. Wade Hampton may receive the unanimous vote for the United States Senate. The movement is f|Ueer because: 1. Mr. Jones did not sec the propriety of the suggestion until he found it was not convenient for him to run. 2. The suggestion presupposes that the half dozen men who have declared themselves candidates have a right to select a Senator of the United States front South Carolina. :>. It would permit Mr. Jones, and the other candidates to say, not only the kind of man but the kind of Democracy, South Carolina wants?and that is the real point at issue in the State. There is a verv commendable sentiment involved in the plan proposed, but this is the day of practical politics, and commonsense should prevail. The attempt is making in certain ([uarters to commend the candidates who adopt Mr. Jones' idea and to condemn any who may not. There is no sense in that. Suppose all shall adopt it?then a handful of men would say who is to be the Senator from this State, and the people would have no voice in the matter. It must be left to them to say. If they shall say Hampton is the man they want, then the wrong of 1890 will be wiped out?not otherwise.?Newberry Observer.

During the storms that rage intermit:ently around the English coast in wiu:er the landsman's mind turns in sympathy toward those who in ship or lifeboat are lighting the waves for dear ife. Eut how often does he give one :hought to the men who immure themselves in the lighthouses that stud the ?oast? I would rather spend my life in a penal settlement than be a lighthouse deeper," declared a man to the writer ifter a visit to the Bishop lighthouse, iff the Cornish coast. "A convict does ?ee a little of the world he lives in, but i lighthouse keeper sees nothing but a Ireary expanse of water. I am not surprised that many of them should lose :heir mental balance." The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse lid not overcolor the picture. It was only the other day that one read of the Longships lighthouse, also off the coast of Cornwall, having been completely isolated for many weeks in consequence of fearful storms. The keepers had hcen reduced to smoking coffee, hops ind tea leaves, though, fortunatoly, they had not wanted for food. The keepers of the famous Eddystone ighthouse not infrequently find themselves In a similar predicament. In a ?ale the waves that buffet themselves igainst this wonderful monument to the engineering skill of the country are of 6uch stupendous magni^ile that they rise to a height of 200 feet and iweep right over the lantern. To those looped up inside the sound of these waves is like that of a battery of guns it close quarters. "At such times the house shakes like a tree with a man on the 1op of It," was the graphic description of one who spent many years of his life there. The new Eddystone Is the roomiest and most comfortable of all our rock lighthouses. A sectional view of It Bhows the various compartments, commencing at the bottom with the water tank; then the entrance, the two oil receptacles, the storeroom, the crane, the living apartment, the low light, the bedroom and the service room In the order named. Formerly only two keepers were employed in the lighthouse, but a grim incident resulted In their number being Increased. One of the two men died. So fierce ran the seas that the remaining keeper could not get the body of his late comrade to the shore. For a month the tempestuous weather continued, and for a month the surviving keeper lived alone with the body as his only companion. He was afraid to cast it into the waves, for be might be accused of murder. Keepers of rock lighthouses do not last long. The incessant pounding of the waves against the building, the loneliness, the want of fresh air and exercise reduce the men to a state of nervousness that is sometimes pitiful to behold.

The utter isolation of the silent sentinels of our coast Is well illustrated by the case of the Bishop lighthouse aforementioned, which stands right out in the Atlantic. Not once in a year is It calm enough for the superintendent to land his stores at the lighthouse flteps. They have to bo hauled up by means of a w'ndlass from above. A visitor bold enough to visit the place is "admitted" in a similar way. lie places one fot in a noose at the end of a rope, which is thrown down to his boat, and, gripping the rope firmly above his head, he Is drawn i?p to the "see off," as the plinth around the lighthouse is called. Thence he climbs up a perpendicular ladder to the door of the house. Superstition adds a terror to the life of the men In this lighthouse, for the first structure was washed away bodily, and the keepers believe that the rock is haunted, A fear of a different kind keeps the men qf Muckle Flugga lighthouse, the most northern point of Scotland, on the tenterhooks of a terrible suspense. On three occasions the huge black rock on which the lighthouse stands hag been shaken by an earthquake, There is something coiplcal, though characteristic of the stiff necked Scot, In a story which comes from a neighboring lighthouse which is the charge of two families. They live on a desert Island. From year end to year end they never see a visitor except the man who brings their' stores. Eighteen months ago the heads of tho two families quarreled, and ever since they have ceased to speak. At the shore lighthouse of JTshfnlsh the keeper's family has to travel 40 miles to "kirk.'' It is no reflection on their piety to add that they are not regular attendants. A lighthouse keeper receives a maximum vrage of ?75 a year, out of which ho has to supply his own rations. These consist .of such unappetizing edibles as tinned beef and bard biscuits, usually washed down with weak tpg. and condensed milk.
