Thursday, February 6, 1902.
The course taken by our representatives
in applying the dispensary profits to the
support of the county chaingang is wise,
and we heartily commend their action.
The present legislature has shown more
?&. of a disposition towards vicious and ex'
travagant legislation than any of recent
years. If some members were left alone
they would soon bankrupt the State.
As between U. X. Gunter, Jr., and W.
F. Stevenson for attorney general, this
paper will support Stevenson, for the re>
x ason that, in our opinion, he is not be com.
pared with Gunter when it comes to legal
ability. If Mr. Gunter has any reputation
as a lawyer; we have not heard of it.
We cannot endorse Senator Mayfield's
bill to establish a State fertilizer factory.
The spirit and purpose of the bill are admirable,
but we very much fear that politics
would be injected into the management
of such a factory.There are too many
of the faithful standing around wanting
jobs.
j>? r;' m
After all the hurrah and talk about establishing
a home for Confederate soldiers,
the legislature does not seem to take
kindly to the proposition. However, a
V bill has passed the Senate that no Confederate
soldier shall be put in a county
I>oor house, but shall be paid his support
in cash. We do not Nvant to see any old
soldier in a poor house, whether in his
county or a so-called Confederate home.
^r. The Co-operative Medicine Co., of Cinvf
cinnati, Ohio, is another set of swindlers
with which this paper has recently come
in contact. After running their advertisement
three months they offered us
stock in the company as payment, which
was refused, and now they will not even
answer our letters. Every unreliable
house which this paper has lost money on
was given a good report by the mercantile
agencies. The moral is that you can't
trust the reports of a mercantile agency
as to the reliability of a patent medicine
9 *
house. The safe rule is to require cash
in advance.
- ?? /
Our representatives should be very careful
in the fixing of the salaries for the officers
of this county. The salary should
be proportionate to the amount of work
done. Our Supervisor gives his whole
time to the duties of his office and furnishes
a horse and buggy at his own expense,
yet he receives less than some officials
who have no such expense. Let the salaries
be fixed on an equitable basis, and
no one will have any reason to complain.
They should also bear in mind that our
county is in bad shape financially, and do
everything in their power to remedy the
deficiency.
Review of the Legislature.
In his review of the work of the present
session of the legislature and forecast of
what is likely to be done, August Kohn
says in the biews and Courier:
The general assembly is getting along
>, with its work very well. It could easily
get through with its session in ten days
. more out it win not ao so. i ne "wnys
and wherefores" are many, but there does
not seem to be much doubt about the fact
that the legislators are going to take the
full limit and draw their forty days' pay.
The house and senate have both done a
great deal of work, and if the calendars
were sifted, it would be found that there
is really very little necessary legislation
pending.
" The house has sent over to the senate
the redistricting bill and that measure has
been made a special order in the senate
for Tuesday. The jury bill has been
practically agreed upon. The senate
threshed over the whole matter and '
finally framed a bill that was acceptable.
Then the house judiciary commtittee re- ,
J# ported on the senate bill and yesterday
the house adopted the bill with only one
unimportant amendment, and the jury
bill will be ready for ratification before j
the trip to the Charleston exposition?the
first act of the session.
The general salary bill has been about
agreed upon by the senate and it will be ,
very much like it was with the jury bill. J
The salaries that have been put in the bill (
in the senate have been pretty generally
agreed upon at meetings of the various
connty delegations, so that when the bill
comes over from the senate with the salaries
fixed they will be generally acceptable
to the house, especially where there
: _ have been delegation agreements. Thus 1
it will be seen that the redistricting, the '
i adoption of the code, jury and county
officers' salaries bills are already practically
out of the way.
A number of matters tbat might have 1
been of great importance have been dis- i
posed of in one of the two branches. The
senate is rid of the child labor proposition.
The house committee has agreed
upon a substitute bill, which' will have a
rough time to get through the house in
any shape. The advocates of child labor
legislation say that they would be satisfied
with almost any kind "of legislation just
so that they can make a start and get in ;
an entering wedge. Those who oppose
any parental interference or legislation ,
prejudicial to the growing textile interests :
of the state are equally as anxious that '
nothing be done to interfere with the
prosperity of the cotton mills.
There has been a good deal of talk, excitement
and hurrah about corporation
and anti trust legislation. It seems to
have about petered out so far as results
are now expected.

It is understood that Ziegler consented to
pay not only the doctors bill, but the attorney's
fees and all costs in connection
with the case.
Miss White refused to accept any money.
She says the suit would not have been
brought in the first place had not Ziegler
torn up the physician's bill when it was
sent to him. It is said that when the bill
reached Ziegler he thought it was a joke.

WThat She Wms Charged With.
About ten years ago I witnessed an unusual
occurrence in the circuit court room
at London, Ky. Judge Robert Boyd was
the presiding justice. One morning, shortly
after the court had opened, Andrew
Jackson, the foreman of the grand jury,
appeared before the judge in charge of a
woman, who, he stated, had refused to
testify before the grand jury.
The judge, with a very polite bow, said
to the woman: "Madam, it is your duty
to tell anything you may know about any
violations of the law in this county, except,
of course, such as may have taken
place in your immediate family. It would
be very "disagreeable to me to have to
punish you in any way, and I trust that
you will go at once arid answer the questions
that may be asked by the foreman of
the grand jury."
"I'll be domed if I do," she said with a
withering look of scorn.
"Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of $10 against
mis woman, saiu me eourt. now,
madam, you go and testify to this jury at
once."
"You go to h?1, you durued old fool,"
the woman retorted.
"Mr. Sheriff, take her to jail," roared
the judge.
"And hain't I already in jail for selling
whiskey, and brought out of jail to testify?"
she said, and with an inimitable
toss of her head she passed out of the
court room.
Being very fond of the judge, and quite
intimate with him, I arose and said to
him, as if I had not fully gathered what
had been going on: "May I inquire of
your honor what the lady is charged
with?"
"I don't know know, sir; but I think
she is charged with dynamite," replied
the court with a look of exasperation.?

The Difference of an Inch.
At one of the reunions of the Army of
the Cumberland several former officers of
the Union army fell to discussing the
wounds they had received during the civil
wjir At. Inst, one of their number turned I
to Colonel B., a tall, line, soldierly looking
man, who had remained silent during
the discussion, and said :
"Well, colonel, you seem to be the only
one of the party who escaped uninjured.'
"Oh, no 1 didn't," answered the colonel
quickly. "I was shot at Antietam. A
bullet went through my nose, taking the
gristle out." He wriggled his nose from
side to side to prove the truth of his
statement.
"Ah, well, you were quite fortunate,
after all," said Major M., consolingly. "If
the bullet had struck half an inch further
in, your soul would have been launched
into eternity."
"Yes," said the colonel, "and if the
blamed thing had gone a half inch further
out it wouldn't have hit me at all."

Hard on the Son-in-Law.
The Chicago Chronicle says:
One of the most charming reconteurs
in Milwaukee society is Mrs. Thomas H.
Bowles. She is a Georgian and knows
the Negro dialect to perfection. Nothing
could be more finished than her darkey
stories. Here is one of her best:
A young man was telling anecdotes to
a circle and one of his listeners was his
mother-in-law. He related one about a
funeral. A woman had died. The undertaker
at the close of the services at the
house said to the bereaved husband :
"You will ride in the tirst carriage with
your mother-in-law."
"I decline to ride with that woman,"
said the widower. She has made my life
miserable. To ride with her would spoil
all the pleasure of the occasion."
All laughingly appreciated the humor
of the storj- except the young man's
mother-in-law.
"Why don't you laugh?" he asked. "It
was a good story."
"Oh," she replied, "I was thinking of
another story about a colored mir .ster
who prayed one day for rain, like this :
" 'Oh, Lord, sen' us a rain. Thou knowest
dat de craps is a-spiling. Thou know.1

perishiu' fo' water. Sen' us a rain, oh
Lord. Not one oh yer drizzles. Sen' us
a downpour, a gully-washiu', a trash-liftin'
rain.'
"An old mammy in the back part of the
church called out: 'Look hyar, parsou
whuffo' yo' pray dataway? W hy you pray
for a trash-liftin' rain? Doan' yo' 'member
dat I done bury dat triflin' son-in-law
o' mine last week?'"
The Last Heard Of It.
"My little boy took the croup one night
and soon grew so bad you coula hear him
breathe all over the house," says F. D.
Reynolds, Mansfield, 0. "We feared he
would die, but a few doses of One Minute
Cough Cure quickly relieved him and he
went to sleep. That is the last we heard
of the croup. Now isn't a cough cure like
that valuable?" One Minute Cough Cure
is absolutel}' safe and act3 immediately.
For coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis
and all other throat and lung troubles it
is a certain cure. Very pleasant to take.

"It's Morgan's."
I came to a mill by the river side,
A half mile long and nearly as wide,
With a forest of stacks and an army of
men,
Toiling at furnace and shovel and pen.
"What a most magnificent plant!" Icried,
And a man with a smudge on his face replied,
"It's Morgan's." i

On a regal coach and a right of way (

"It's Morgan's."
I sailed on a great ship, trim apd true,
From pennant to keel and cabin to crew, <
And the ship was one of a monster fleet; j

"What a beautiful craft she is !" I cried,
And a man with akimbo legs replied, <
"It's Morgan's." ]
I dwelt in a nation filled with pride,
Her people were many, her lands were
wide;
Her record in war and science and art ?
Proved greatness of muscle and mind and
heart.
"What a grand old country it is!" I cried,
And a man with his chest in the air re- j
plied,
"It's Morgan's." ,
I went to heaven. The jasper walls
Towered high and wide, and the golden 1
halls
Shone bright beyond. But a strange new

Was over the gate, viz., "Private Park."

cried,
And a saint with a livery on replied,
"It's Morgan's." 1
I went to the only place left. "I'll take
A chance on the boat on the brimestone

A certain bishop, remarkable for bis

sitting in the studio of an eminent artist
els a living model for his own portrait,
says Tit-Bits. Perfect silence reigned for a
whole hour, while the knight of the palette
diligently went on with his work. At
last, the bishop, becoming weary of the
dreary monotony, ventured to remark:
"How are you getting on?"
Absent-mindedly the artist replied:
"Move your head a little that way and
shut your mouth."
His lordship, annoyed at the apparently
discourtesy, then said:
"May I ask why you address me in this

ORIGINAL JUDGE LYNCH.
He Wai a Bra-re and Uaeful Member
of Oar Early Society.
Tradition sometimes plays strange
pranks with dead men's reputations.
It would make an interesting half hour
for the eavesdropper beyond the Styx
if he could hear the exchange of amenities
between Duns Seotus and Judge
Lynch, the one a shrewd, clear reasoner,
whose name now signifies a fool;
the other a simple Quaker gentleman,
whose name has come to stand for organized
savagery.
Charles Lynch was a man whose
(services to his country as a brave pioneer
and righteous judge, as a soldier
and a statesman, are by no means deserving
of oblivion, still less of obloquy.
It seems indeed one of the iniquities
of fate that his name should
now be universally applied to proceed
ings that 110 one would condemn more
! heartily than he. The records of the
court of Bedford county, In Virginia,
and those of various Quaker meetings,
the journals of the Virginia house of
burgesses and of the first constitutional
convention, taken together with
! family documents and traditions, show
him to have been an upright and useful
member of society and a wise and energetic
leader at the most important
crisis of American history?Atlantic.
Volunteer* In South America.
There is a gentleman in Boston who
spent a number of years among the
j various little South American republics
and who gives an interesting account
of the methods of one of these
small states when it comes to a question
of making war. The "navy" of
I the particular power referred to consists
of a single old fashioned side
wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
1in time of peace she is engaged in hauling
freight up and down the river
which runs close to the capital.
At the outbreak of one of the periodical
wars not so very long ago the
president of the republic took charge
of the steamer and started up stream
on a recruiting expedition, leaving his
senior general in charge of the military
preparations at the capital. A couple
of days later the steamer returned,
and some seventy miserable looking
natives, each firmly bound with a
strong rope, were marched off and
turned over to the general, with a note
from the president which read:
Dear General?I send you herewith seventy
volunteers. Please return the ropes
at once.
?Boston Herald.
Didn't Reeoffnlie It.
A distinguished member of the United
States judiciary has discovered that
he still has something to learn in the
direction of agriculture.
He bought a farm as a summer home
for his family and finds especial delight
in walking about the place, commenting
on the condition of the crops
and in many ways showing his interest
in his new possessions.
One eveniug during the summer he
was strolling over the farm. The hired
man had cut the grass during the day,
a fhln nrnn ond hnd lpft It lvint*

on the ground to dry. The Judge saw
it, and, calling his man, he said:
"It seems to me you are very careless.
Why haven't you been more particular
in raking up this hay? Don't
you see that you have left little dribblings
all around?"
For a minute the hired man stared,
wondering if the judge was quizzing
him. Then he replied:
"Little dribblings! Why, man, that's
the crop!"
The Prayer That Hurt.
A member of a certain Massachusetts
parish, prominent for his thrift
and personal consequence, was also
notorious for his overbearing assumptions
and pompous airs. Under the distress
and fright of a dangerous illness
he "put up notes" on several successive
Sundays, and after his recovery, according
to usage, he offered a note to
be read by the minister expressive of
his thanks.
The minister was somewhat "large"
in this part of his prayer, recalling the
danger and the previous petitions of
the "squire," and returning his grateful
acknowledgments with the prayer
that the experience might be blessed
to the spiritual welfare of the restored
man. He closed with these words:
"And we pray, O Lord, that thy serv
ant may be cured of that ungodly
strut, so offensive In the sanctuary."
Middle Agea Burials.
In the middle ages founders and
patrons of ecclesiastical buildings began
to be buried nearer and nearer to
the fabric of the church or cathedral.
First the porch, then the cloister, then
the chapter house or chantry, came
under demand; the chancel was next
encroached upon, and lastly burials
were allowed uuder the altar Itself. At
the other extreme of custom was the
burial of malefactors and stillborn
children on the north or "devil's side"
of the yard, a practice concerning
which chapters might be written.

An Accomodating Judge.
A good story is told of Mr. Jelf, who
has justly been appointed a judge of the
high court. On one occasion, when he
was recorder of Shrewsbury, a prisoner,
who was something of a hypocrite, tried
at a quarter sessions to melt his heart
with tc-ars.
"Have you never been in prison?" asked
Mr. Jelf, in soothing tones.
"Never, my lord?never," was the reply.
"Well, don't cry," the recorder replied.
"That can easily be remedied. I'll send (
you there now."?London Globe.

Editor L. C. Ligon Dead.
Aiken*, February 2.?Mr. Langdon
Clieves Ligon died at his home here hist
evening after an illness of nine weeks,
lie was the senior editor of the Journal
and Review, with which he had been
identified for about twenty-five years.
Mr. Ligon was born in Abbeville and
learned the printing trade under Mr.
Hugh Wilson, in the Press and Banner
office. He was 45 years of age. His loss
to Aiken will be great, for he had given
much of his time and energy in upbuilding
and beautifying the town. He leaves
a widow, two sisters and three brothers,
two of them being Presbyterian ministers
in the upper part of the "State.
At the Shanghai police court recently
a curious object was handed up to the
bench for inspection. It was contained
in a square yellow box, and resembled
nothing more than a piece of black wax.
It weighed about two ounces, and the
policeman in charge of the case explained
to the court that it was a Chinese medicine
compound of monkey's toe-nails boiled
down and hardened by being underground
for a number of years. It had
been stolen from a native apothecary's
shop in Nanking. Monkey's toe-nails, it
appears, are a well known remedy among
the Chinese for stomach troubles.

Fair Visitor: "What is this poor man
