The newspapers of the State, or a number of them, have recently been discussing the matter of having campaign meetings in every county in the State this summer. Most of of them seem to be in favor of doing away with the meetings altogether, or at least reducing them to one in each con?gressional district. While we see no great good to be accomplished by the meetings, still we think the people can stand it if the candidates can. Then, too, many men run for State offices who are not known at all to a majority of the voteis . . in the different counties. Brancliville Brevities.

Special marks and bruises were examined by different friends and relatives, and they reported in the affirmative, Your correspondent and others viewed the body immediately after it was taken from the < water, but, as his face was badly disfigured and body decomposed, it could not be recognized with certainity. Relatives and friends at first were inclined to belive that it was the body of some one else, ? but they now admit the mystery. His attending doctors viewed the body and remembered different recognizable marks. The description of his pistols and vest- i ments and other things have been print- 1 ed in other papers, and it is needless to insert here.

It is necessary to mention that the body was first seen by Cornelius Ott, at Minus' landing, when the latter was setting out liis nets. Mr. Ott says, "carrions were flying to and fro, and for curiosity's sake, I went in that direction" with the above result. Mr. Ott also says that he does not expect any reward for his discovery. Pinckney Careon, the colored man from whom the team was demanded by the . express robbers to transport the safe to the Edisto river, says he can now rest a little more comfortable. Dan Barrs, the alleged accomplice, has a position in the express office at Charleston. Some "fake show" presented two performances here last Wednesday and Thursday night, respectively.

Perry Jones, who stays on one of Gtn. Bamberg's places in the Colston section, had been missing corn from his crib for some time past, and decided he would watch for the thief, and while lying waiting under the corn house last Friday night the thief came and was in the act of filling a crocus bag with the golden grain when Perry grabbed him by the feet. A teriible scuffle ensued, but the thief being of herculean strength got away from Perry, but Perry says he knows the coon and is going to have him brought to justice. John Carter, who was also known as "Turkey John," died last week. He never recovered from the stroke of paralysis which he received while stealing corn one night about two years ago from Mr. Joe I.

Last Saturday night several persons were seen loitering around the depot at a late hour, very much under the influence of liquor. The street lamps were dimly burning, and the heavy rain rendered our J little town quite dark and few persons i were stirring. The quietness of the night seemed only broken by the midnight train which brings our morning's mail from Charleston and other points. The next morning Frank Hiers was going from Mr. Jacob Ehrhardt's house to the store to open the mail; the awful deed which was committed in the darkness of the night just ended confronted him.

Grand Duke Carl Alexander, of SaxeWeimer, the son, and successor of Gothe's friend and patron, Carl August, is better and more favorably known for his friendliuess and tenderness of heart than for his intellectual qualities. On a certain occasion the grand duke paid a visit of inspection to one of the prisons of his domains, and in the course of conversation with the director expressed the wish to see one of the criminals. "Does your royal highness wish to see a oiild or a desperate case?" "A desperate case," replied the prince; md accordingly one of the life prisoners was brought up under a guard. "Wherefore have you made your abode here?" inquired the grand duke of the scowling, evil-looking individual, in the formal, stilted language characteristic of him.

How Helen Keller Writes. ^ Not one in ten thousmd of those who will read Helen Keller's own story of her life, when it begins in an early issue of - The Ladies' Home Journal, will have the least conception of the amount of hard work required to write the story. First 5 of all Miss Keller puts down her ideas "in Braille," as the blind express it; that is to say, in the system of "points" raised on paper by means of a stylus and slate devised to aid the blind; these "points" being read afterward bypassing 1 the sensitive fingers over them. When all of this Braille work has been completed Miss Keller goes to her typewriter and 2 uses these notes as a guide to the re writ; - r ii. ~ lug ui lue t5iui_y. As soon as a page of matter is typewritten it is, so to speak, lost to Miss Keller, who has to depend upon her faithful r teacher, Miss Sullivan, to repeat it to her ; by spelling out each sentence by means of the hands. It is a tedious task, especially as some of the pages have to be read r again aud again, with changes here and there, before Miss Keller is satisfied. Then, when the proofs are sent to her, all this slow process of spelling word after word - has to be gone through once more, so that each word that Helen Keller writes goes j through her fingers at least five times. It will be a satisfaction to everybody to know that the publishers of The Journal I have recognized in a substantial manner the extraordinary ability and patience which Miss Keller has shown in her work.

It is that the other night he had eluded the swarm of beggars that hover ? around the Holland House, the WaldorfAstoria, Delmonico's and Sherry's. Later he was accosted by a particularly insolent beggar, so very daring and aggressive that he promised to be interesting. Mr. Gates dug down into his pocket, jingled some coins and pulled out a quarter. This he gave to the beggar. "You're a nice one, you are," said the mendicant. "You'd spend that many dollars for a luncheon, and you give a man in hard luck that chicken feed." "Excuse me," said Mr. Gates. "Give me that back." He reached into his pocket as if to draw out a larger coin, and the beggar expectantly handed back the quarter. Mr. Gates put it in his pocket, remarking that it would be useful for a tip and walked into the lobby of the Waldorf According to the story the beggar now takes his hat off every time he sees Mr. Gates.

Tl opinion shows that in the matter of tl payment of the commutation tax at lea: there is an instance of wherein the earl bird did not get the worm. Those wb paid the tax before Feb. 1, as required 1: the old act. had to nav $2. whereas t.hn< , A J ' ' who neglected to pay up got off with tl payment of half the amount. Mr. Gunter, quoting the law as it a] pears in the "Townsend code," shov that in certain counties the eommutatic tax was $2; in others $1. The tax mu have been paid before Feb. 1 to avo penalty. "But," he continues, "by an a approved Feb. 20, 1902, in section ?, it provided: 'In lieu of performing < causing to be performed the labor of t< hours per day, as required for the sever counties, a commutation tax of $1 may 1 paid by the person so liable on or by tl 31st day of March, 1902, and on or by tl first day of March of each yearthereafte: This act does not take effect until the 251 day after its approval. It will thereto become effective on March 18,1902. thus appears that the opportunity to pj a commutation tax closed on Feb. 1, bi was reopened by the last general asser bly to begin on March the 18th and clo March 31,1902, and for this period tl tax is $1 for all the counties." pp R. %f ^ tfseful in a dozen othe: Vl w ways about the house Ii?JBr Full directions wltl 68011 cake* ' Bold everywhere.
