As ail illustration of the difference in
ix .
the tax rate of large and small counties
we may be pardoned for citing a bit ol
i T _ T? 1
personal experience. iu Damucig wuuvj
on a valuation of $800, the writer paid
$12.00 taxes. On the same valuation iu
Sumter county the taxes were $9.04, a
difference of $2.30.
One has only to study the different appropriations
made by the legislature to be
convinced of the recklessness and extra vk
agance of that body. It is high time the
y people were sending men to the legislature
who will pursue the same policy ir
affairs of State as they would in theii
private business. For the financial condition
of our people, the State government
and institutions are costing entirely
x too much money.
We can heartily commend the legislature's
action in one thing, and that is iu
increasing the pension fund to $200,000
The old soldiers are deserving of all the
? aid the State can possibly afford. However,
the extravagance of that body was
10 our minu, piaimy suowu iu tuc a^iv
. N priatioas to some of the colleges. "Wedc
H not object to State aid for higher educa
tion, but we do object to spending sc
y much money on so few young men. W<
? greatly fear that the graduates of some ol
the colleges are not worth the money thej
- cost the State.
^ The Senate passed the re-districtin|
bill last Tuesday, after our editorial in re
~ ference to it had been written. TheSeconc
District is now composed of the countiei
of Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Hamp
ton, Aiken, Edgefield, and Saluda. Sen
ator Mayfield endeavored to have Saludt
' taken out of this district, but failed. Th<
cT; V. bill will become a law unless vetoed bj
the governor, which he is not likely to do
c To say the least, the Second District is
not a compact one in shape, and it appear
to us that the bill makes little improve
S ment in any of the districts.
Helen Keller's First Earnings.
L ' There is a pretty story in connectior
with the series of articles which Heler
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has writ
ten for The Ladies' Home Journal, tell
ing about her own life from infancy to th<
;; . present day. She always has shrunt
from the publicity which follows success
ful literary work, and it was. with grea
K. difficulty that she was persuaded tp tak<
up the task of preparing her autobiogra
phy. She had, however, set her heart 01
owning an island in Halifax harbor for i
summer home, and in a spirit of fun th<
editor of The Journal offered to buy it fo
:-v. . her, or to provide the means to buy it
P: When the work of writing appeared es
Sp . pecially irksome Miss Keller was remind
ed of her desire to become a land-holdei
and it spurred her on. Just before Christ
mfts she completed the first chapter of he
marvelous story; and on Christmas morn
ing she received from her publishers j
check for a good round sum. Her deligh
may be imagined, for this was the firs
money of any account which she had eve
? earned. "It is a fairy tale come true,'
she said. Whether she will really carr;
?&-*' out her plan to buy the island remains t<
be seen.

Why the Drum Was Silent.
Here is a delicious story of the wai
? times that has an unmistakable air o:
freshness and human interest.
The torn and tattered remnant of a con
federate regiment one day toward th(
p; close of the war was lined up by its col
x onel and told that the commanding gen
eral was to pay a "visit of inspection" or
the following day. The soldiers were ad
monished to "do their prettiest."
"Just brace up as though your clothe
were bran new uniforms and as thoug]
you had the best on earth to eat am
~ plenty of it. "We haven't any bugles left
but Smith there has got a drum, and it's j
nlumb fine one?bitr as a barrel. Now
|W?V *
Smith, when I give you the word tomor
row you let her go for all she is worth.'
Thus spoke the colonel.
The next day came the general to "in
sped" the poor half-starved fighters an<
as he appeared in the distance the colone
gave the order to "line up." As the com
inanding officer drew near the colone
shouted: "Now, Smith, let her go!" an<
turned to salute the general.
But not a note came from the big bar
rel drum.
I x The colonel, red in the face, turned to
ward the drunnner and again shouted hi:
order "for music."
But still the drum remained as mute a:
the harp of Tara Hall fame.
Infuriated at this open disobedience o
orders and in the presence of his com
manding officer, too, the colonel rod*
down the line, and as he reached the re
fractory drummer, cried out:
"Say, Smith, what in and doyoi
mean by not beating that blankety-blanl
drum?"
"I can't, colonel," whispered Smith
"The old drum is full of chickens, anc
half of 'era are for you."
The colonel paused but a moment be
fore he shouted so that the general and
-the soldiers might hear:
"All right. Smith, but if you were toe
sick to play the drum why in thunde;
didn't you say so?"
Political Gossip in Washington.
Washington, February 10.?Trouble is
brewing among the members of the South
Carolina delegation, and it is feared that
the end is not vet. The cause of the impending
strife is a story that the delega
tion had pledged its support to Representative
Latimer in his race for theSenr
ate this summer. Where the strange tale
l originated, or what foundation it has, is
t as yet not forthcoming, else there would
" have already been a public denial from at
least two of the members. As the matter
t stands, the members affected do not care
to advertise the story by denying it
1 through the public prints. Furthermore,
they are particularly averse to committing
themselves to the man they intend
supporting in the race for the Senate,
which they would in a measure be forced
to do in denying the report. However,
should the story continue to gain cre1
rme nf the members has declared
J his intention of getting the delegation together
for the purpose of clearing up
' the whole affair.
Soon after Congress meet last Dec1
ember the South Carolina delegation held
L a caucus, at which were present six of
the seven members. The purpose of the
meeting was to decide what they would
ask the Speaker for in the way of committee
assignments, and what would be
the general policy of the delegation during
this session of Congress. As a result,
it is said, the members came to a harmonious
agreement. South Carolina's welfare
was to be the one end and aim of their
efforts, and they were to back up each
other in their striving for plums for their
constituents. This, it is claimed, is the
only caucus held by the delegation, and
on this occasion "the Senatorial campaign
was not touched with a ten-foot
1 pole," as one of the members expressed
' it. What bearing this meeting has on the
story in question is not known, but some
of the members are of the opinion that
' the purpose of the harmony evidenced at
that time has been misconstrued, not
necessarily by Representative Latimer,
but probably by outsiders, as indicating
the attitude of the members toward each
' other outside the walls of Congress.
As a matter of fact the delegation is by
no means agreed on any one candidate
that has yet announced himself for the
Senate, although each member has proba5
bly a pretty good idea as to which of the
aspirants he will lend a helping hand. It
is quite likely that Representative Latimer
will receive the support of .a part of
the delegation, but it is known that Mr.
Henderson has friends among the delegation
whom he made in the Legislature,
* and, from several hints that these gentlemen
have let fall recently, it is to be ex*
pected that the Aiken candidate will also
5 come in for a goodly share of support f rora
the South Carolina members when the
campaign fireworks are set off next summer.
Senator McLaurin's candidacy is not
receiving much attention from the South
Carolina Congressmen for the reason that
a majority, if not all of the members, have
expressed the opinion that he will not
enter the race. Some say the Senator
will voluntarily keep out of the campaign
and hereafter make his home in Washington
to practice law. Another theory,
and one held by a member in close touch
with the plans of the State Democratic
e committee, is that the Senator willl be
r ruled out of the primary at the State Con
vention. This mav be because of his
rtfusal to caucus with the Democrats and
. his acceptance from the Republicans of
- committee assignments for this sessiou.
r Senator McLaurin himself is reticent
~ about discussing his plans, though he has
I not yet said anything about withdrawing,
t Representative Talbert is getting un?
usually generous in his distribution of
^ seed packages. Instead of confining their
0 distribution to his own district, his colleagues
claim, he has practically taken
the entire State under his especial care.
The Colonel is doubtless thinking of the
e time, which he hopes will arrive next
1 summer, when his constituents will include
all the people of South Carolina.
'? He will enter the race for Governor as
soon as Congress adojurns, and is, in ad'?
dition to scattering seeds broadcast
* through the State, also getting together a
goodly number of jokes which will pome
- in handy on the stump.
Congressman Scarborough has yet to
make his first speech in Congress. When
'> asked the other day how long he would
postpone?his oratorical effort, he said:
"I have never yet made a speech for bun1
combe, and don't intend to do it at this
late day. I shall speak whenever a meas
ure comes up in which I am particularly
* interested, but I won't be speaking just to
say I have made my first speech in Con>
gress."
As a matter of fact Mr. Scarborough has
the reputation in South Carolina of being
a remarkably forceful and ready speaker.
r He has a large law practice in his district,
^ and has had considerable experience in
public speaking.?R. M. L., in News and
Courier.
Her Ready Reply.
New York Tribune: Among the many
i southern visitors to New York this au
tumn were Mr. and Mrs. Delgado, of New
Orleans. Mrs. Delgado, is one of the
s kindliest and most charming hostesses of
it the Crescent City. Many very clever say3
ings are credited to her. She always has
>, been an ardent southerner and is never
a at a loss for a reply. Some years ago,
at the unveilinsr of the Lee monument in
- New Orleans, a rather practical, but unsympathetic
New Englander observed:
"Why, Mrs. Delgado, according to Lee's
- convictions, that monument is all wrong.
3 He has turned his back on the south and
1 he is looking toward the north."
"He always faced the enemy," was the
1 quick retort.
Governor Tod, the war governor of
Ohio, was generally considered to be conscious
to the full of his official importance.
He was under discussion in the
. lobby of a Columbus hotel, when a stran,
ger to the city remarked:
' "Tod'?all the Tods I ever knew wrote
their name 'T?o?double d.'"
3 There was silence. Then an old acquaintance
of the chief executive exf
plained:
"Well, to tell the truth, that used to be
* the governor's way of writing it; but one
e day, as it happened, a man told him that
. God spelled His name with only one 4d.'
That settled it. Thenceforward the governor's
tinal'd' was lost in the discard."?

WANTED TO GET IN.
H<? Was Wllllnfir to .Join if It Didn't ,
Cost Too Much.
A lank, long countryman stood out- j
side o:f the reading room door of the li-1
brary of congress and looked with longing
eyes at its gorgeous interior. Admit- J
tance had been refused on his declaring
that life had no intention of reading,
but he lingered near the door hoping
something would turn up to let him in. I
Finally he again approached the door-'
keeper.
"You say I can't get in, boss?'' he
asked.
"Not unless yt)U want to read," was
the discouraging reply,
j "A dollar wouldn't be any object to
' you, would it, boss?"
The doorkeeper shook his head and
waved the insistent visitor away, in a
few moments three members of congress
approached and, nodding to the
doorkeeper, said, "We are members,
you know," and passed In through the
door. The countryman darted forward
again.
"I say, boss," he asked confidentially,
"how much does it cost to be a member?
I belong to one lodge already, but
ef It ain't too all fired much I'll go you,
for I certainly do want to git In thar
and set down a spell; I certainly do."?
New York Tribune.
Asiatic Hamor.
"At one of the public dinners given
by Ameer Abdur ltahman Khan," says
Mr. Stephen Wheeler in his story of
the ameer's life, "an excited native
rushed into the midst of the assembly
and prostrated himself in front of the
ameer.
" 'Sahibl' he gasped. 'The Russians
are comingf
" 'From what direction are they visible?'
asked the ameer without changing
his expression.
" 'From yonder hill,' replied, the native.
"'Climb that tree and watch until
they comer was the royal command.
"The native ascended to the topmost
branches and was forced to remain until
he dropped to the ground."
"Political upholsterers," whom Addl*
son described as "grave persons," may
see in this anecdote evidence of the
ameer's full confidence in Russia's Intentions
toward Afghanistan. It is
more probable that it was a manifestation
of that grim humor which was
of the quaint oriental stripe with
which the "Arabian Nights" have
made us familiar.
A Chinaman'* Protest.
The Peking Gazette, speaking of Chinese
in foreign lands, says:
"We dress and speak differently from
foreigners, Just as foreigners do who
come to China. Rut nobody in the
streets calls us 'Chinese devils.' The
children in the streets wish to see how
long our cues are, but the police,
seeing them annoy us, scatter them.
When we go into a shop to buy anything,
we are treated with even more
consideration than their own people.
We enter their homes, it is the same.
They seek to please us In every way,
show us curios or play the organ or
piano for us. The writer has been to
France, England, America, Japan,
Sn/iln And Smith America and staved
years, and everywhere he was treated
with the same courtesy."
It is to be feared that some Chinese
laundrymen in this country would not
wholly indorse this view.
Light Without Sight.
We can "perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensoriura and create a disturbance
at that center of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, we
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mutilated
in any way, we should see a
brilliant flash of light, though without
any sensation of pain. And so it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not necessarily
by sound, so as to reach its
center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound. How many ghosts might not
be destroyed in this way??Chambers'
Journal
The Danish Mascot.
The chimney sweeper is the Danish
mascot l'ou see him In gold or silver,
suspended on a lady's watch chain, instead
of the "lucky pig" or horseshoe,
which Is the English symbol of good
luck. He also appears on note paper
and postcards, Implying that your correspondent

It is the old fashioned sweep that is
thus depicted?he who had actually to

American English.
We do not speak the English language
in the way in which it is spoken
by the people of England. We have
greatly changed, enlarged and perhaps
improved it in our usual progressive
way. The wonder lies In the notion of
Englishmen that their way of speaking
the language Is the only way and that
our way is wrong.?New York World.

Clerk's Wise Suggestion.
"I have lately been much troubled with
dyspepsia, belcliing and sour stomach,"
writes M. 8. Mead, leading pharmacist of
Attleboro, Mass., "I could eat hardly anything
without suffering several hours. My
clerk suggested I try Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure which I did with most happy results.
I have had no more trouble and when one
can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy
and nuts after such a time, their digestion
must be pretty good. I endorse Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure heartily." You don't have
to diet. Eat all the good food you want
but don't overload the stomach. Kodol

Want to Pay Out.
A Washington dispatch says that the
famous Owens Cherry Tree company,
which is under indictment by the postal
authorities, is making a desperate effort
to keep its case out of court. They have
submitted a proposition to compromise
by paying back to the army of women
they have defrauded of money the sum of
&:>0,0U(), which they claim constitutes all
the funds on hand. Among those indicted
are a preacher and his daughter.
Saved Him From Torture.
There is no more agonizing trouble than
piles. The constant itching and burning
make life intolerable. No position is comfortable.
The torture is unceasing. DeWitt's
Writch Hazel Salve cures piles at

all kinds of wounds it is unequalled. J.
S. Gerall, St. Paul, Ark., says: ' From I860
I suffered with the protruding, bleeding
piles and could find nothing to help me
until I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

His Last Resort.
A certain member of the legal profession,
whose name is omitted for reasons
that will appear obvious, was asked some
years ago by a young negro to defend
hint on the charge of murder.
"How much money have you got?" asked
the lawyer.
"None, sail."
"Any friend or relatives who'd raise
some for you?"
"None," despairingly cried the negro.
"I'se got nobody ter come t' me aid."
"Humph," muttered the attorney; "say,
want you don't a lawyer. You want a
minister."?Philadelphia Times.
A Fireman's Close Call.
"I stuck lo my engine, although every
joint ached and every nerve was racked

lireman, of Burlington, Iowa.,
"I was weak and pale, without any appetite
and all run down. As I was about
to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bitters
