The Clemson trouble has been settled for the present at least, and we think the least said about it the better. Further agitation can accomplish no good result that we can see, and may do much harm. The county convention of Greenwood and some candidates in Union have attempted to fix the price of candidates' cards in the newspapers. Thev had better drop the scheme like a hot brick. A fellow who expects to run for office is monkeying with a buzz saw when he ^ - attempts to form a trust against the newspapers. . The withdrawal of Senator McLaurin serves one good purpose, at least. Those who believe in expansion and other progressive ideas, which it is asserted the Democratic party ought to endorse, can now have the fullest and freest discussion without being abused and maligned. At " . least, such should be the case. In the meantime, let the agitation continue. If : the ideas are bad, further discussion will ?... only show up their worst features, and if v\ they are good our people ought to know it. There can come no harm from all " the light possible.

The crowd began to gather about ten ~f.-\ o'clock, and in a short time a large crowd from almost all parts of the county was present. At twelve o'clock the crowd was called to order by Mr. J. H.

Heyward, of Walterboro, was the first speaker introduced; he delivered a fine - address on "farmers." It was not lengthy ?? but foil of humored jokes which seemed IfeV' to collect the crowd more closely together. |- Then the Hon. gave his well composed and quick address, which could have kept ^ . the crowd for hours if he would have stay???

He handled his subptiject well, and the special attention of the Ppf; crowd was given to it. Then dinner was ; announced. Of course this part is always welcomed and all seemed to enjoy it, 4 which was in abundance. After dinner the young people started on their highly nnjnTTokla omncamflTit T chnnld SRV that Judging by the traveling that Dr. S. P.

Now, if you have ever done quick action before, outdo it this time. Unless you get a rig here for me in a hurry, it's all off, that's all! Do you understand? It's a case of life or death with me, and I mean if, I say, it's a case of life or death! Do you hear? Are you there?" " 'Yes, I am here,' I replied. 'Will you please give me the number?' "'Oh, the number?yes, the number! Say, wouldn't that jar you? I've forgotten it. What is it, Central, please? Look quick!' "'What is the name of th firm or the party you wish to talk with?' i asked.

Eurhakdt, May 13.?Mr. Cain was in our little town last Friday. He came to meet a gentleman who came up on the train and who was employed by the Bamberg Cotton Mills. Misses Marie and Flossie Murdaugh, who have been spending some time with relatives in Bamberg and Branchville, returned to Ehrhardt Sunday morning, accompanied by their father. Our friend, Mr. T. L. Pearlstiue, now of Branchville, paid us a very pleasant visit last week. Miss I?illa Carpenter, of Charlotte, N. C., is on a visit to Miss Ruth Copeland. Abe Williams, a negro of ill repute, who escaped from Magistrate uunDar, 01 Allendale, was captured here Monday morning by Mr. Dunbar, who had been notified that his whereabouts were in this neighborhood. Capt. J. M. Dannelly, who had the negro employed, paid the fine. Our jovial and congenial friend, W. P. Pate, who has had charge of the depot and express office here for the past four years, has been promoted to the position of baggage master and express messenger on the Plant System road from Ehrhardt to Greenpond. Prof. L. A. Bikle, who has been keeping books for C. Ehrhardt & Sons for sometime, has accepted the place as depot agent, which has just been vacated by Mr. Pate. We consider Prof. Bikle well qualified for the position, and hope that he will have a promotion before many years. The "white folks," of Ehrhardt, were entertained on last Friday evenirg by Mrs. T. 0. Powell and daughter. The guests were entertained with music, vocal and instrumental, and at 11 o'clock ice cream and cake were served. The following were the ones present: Miss Florrye M. Chassereau with Mr. Edgar Jones; Miss Ruth Copeland and Dave Dannelly;- Miss Lilla Carpenter and Frank Copeland; Daisye Carter and Frank Chassereau; stags, E. P. Chassereau, Willie Sease, Angus Kearse, and Raymond Ehrhardt. Mr. George Kearse is visiting relatives in Allendale. Mrs. A. C. Reynolds and Miss Florrye Chassereau visited friends and relatives in Bamberg last week, and returned to Ehrhardt last Friday morning. Hon. C. Ehrhardt spent last week in Charleston, attending the annual meeting of the Lutheran Synod; also his pastor, Rev. J. H. Wilson, who is a member of that body. Mr. Willie Chassereau, who has been confined to his bed for several days, is able to be out again. F. M. Young Co. has moved their stock of merchandise from the West side of Main street to the store vacated by R. Pearlstine & Sons on East side. This 1 /\?ao An \A/ACt Il - ^ CUjVJ auiC' amuovtjuvuv. A ~~~j this place can afford as much or more ground for this amusement than any other in the county; everybody has room to i. , walk, sit or swim; the whole of the coun| ty could come here and then every one would have their own room. Boys, that | day has gone, but I believe that all can enjoy the thought of the time that they had. If they can't enjoy it someone must have went back on them, or otherwise it was their own-fault. I can't say as to how the girls look at it now, but suppose their I' v hearts are of the same nature of the boys, ^^p^jjjidUkey must enjoy or dislike it as "we boys.11- - The^ddsi,ones must have enjoyed it, for they were cheerful and seemed delighted. Miss Maggie Black has returned home from Weimers, where she visited her sister PMrs. Yarn, and reports that she was very sick while there. We are glad to see that she is better now.

"When I knew I was to meet you I was prepared to answer your usual set of questions." "And what are they?" said Wu Tingfang, with a suggestion of a smile. "Why, how old I was; how many children I had; how much my clothes cost, I and what my income was." "And I suppose," said Minister Wu, "if I had askedthem you would have thought me impertinent." | "Oh! no," said the New York woman, blandly, "only Chinese, your Excellency." The first regular contract ever made iu the world to pick cotton by machinery was closed in Greenville, Ala., a few days since, and the first experiment with the machine will be made on a plantation in Washington county next fall. A Pittsburg man is the inventor of the device and for the past 10 years has been conducting experiments in the vicinity of Greenville. He now claims that the device has been modeled on a practical working basis and feels confident that he will revolutionize the cotton picking industry in the South. The machine, he admits, is valueless except on the level uplands, low valleys and prairie grounds, but even if it should prove successful with this limit, its effect I on the labor question in the south will be I very marked. leaves 1UU1 vacant sti/ics v/u n 101 ?uv, which clearly demonstrate that hard times is the chief factor. About 9 o'clock Sunday night our artesian well burst forth with great force. The basin which is kept exhausted by a 6-inch waste pipe was soon filled to everflowing. The flow was probably between three and four hundred gallons to the minute. Quite an animated election took place at Ehrhardt last June, at which a new council was elected. Under the administration of this new council the artesian well was bored and a sprinkler was built that conveyed water to the streets which refreshed the hot air,moistened the scorching sand, and kept the dust particles from blowing into our stores and houses. But alas! the latter has been taken from us and we are in a worse condition than before, for before w* bad a sprinkler we knew not Jipt'To appreciate its dust-laying qualities, and now it grieves us to see that great benefactor stored away as a relic of so short reign. The picnic at Howell's old mill on ascension day was quite a success, there being a large crowd present, each neighborhood being well represented. As has been the custom of previous years, farmers, lawyers, doctors and politicians met and exchanged happy greetings. The order of the day was as follows: Rev. M. W. Hook, of Bamberg, opened the exercises of the day by offering a most beautiful prayer; next Prof. H. G. Sheridan gracefully introduced the first speaker of the day, our well-known candidate for Governor, Col. D. C. Hey ward, of Walterboro, who described the farmer at different seasons as resembling the different colors of the rainbow. Next Prof. Sheridan introduced our present Railroad Commissioner, Hon. C. W. Garris,who delivered an appropriate speech upon higher education and its powers, after which the crowd partook of a sumptious repast furnished by the well-to-do farmers. Quattlebaum & Dannelly shipped a car load of fat cattle to the Charleston market Monday morning. Mr. Quattlebaum will attend the market to see them well sold. Ehrhardt has had no strawberries so far. If any of our neighbors have them for sale they will find a ready market here. The Lutherans of this section, who have been rehearsing for some time, will give a grand picnic at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church next Thursday, to which all denomination are cordially invited. Ge Col. Wu Meets His Match. A clever New York woman met Minister Wu Ting-fang at a dinner iu Washington several days ago and his Excellency said: "Are you married ?" j "Yes." "Where is your husband?" "He is in New York attending to his business." And then his Excellency switched off to impersonal questions. iThe New York woman, after answering several of them, hesitatingly, said: "You have confused me. your Excellen-1 Profited by a Joke. Justice "Biff" Ilall. sometime Chicago newspaper man, dearly loves a joke. Here is one he is responsible for, which shows that, in spite of the immortal William, there is often something in a name. It was the regular morning grind at the Harrison street police court?a stream of tramps, "plain drunks," "drunk and disorderlies," and other petty offenders, with "$10 or 20 days" or "$15 or 30 days" chalked up against them as fast as the clerk could write. It was a stupid, monotonous grind, with nothing to relieve the dead level of sodden and sinful humanity. Presently, says the Chicago Tribune, appeared a tall hobo of typical appearance. The charge against him on the sheet which lay on the judicial desk was "plain drunk." "What's your name?" asked Justice Hall in his sharpest judicial manner. "Cannon's my name, mister judge, your honor," said the tramp. The judicial frown relaxed into a sus? omiln \firth if nnt mpr^r piUlUli U1 a OIXllA^.

For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. Full Dress. A belated traveler, who was compelled to stay all night in a backwoods cabin, says that soon after the frugal sapper or "sody biskits," and fried "side meat," swimming in grease, had been eaten, a tall, gaunt youth of about 18 and an equally sallow and gaunt girl of 17, both barefooted, took their hats from wooden pegs in the wall and prepared to go out, whereupon their mother, taking her pipe from between her yellow teeth, said reprovingly: "Go 'long an' wash your feet, Levi, you an' Looly both! Hain't you 'shamed to go off to an evenin' party without wa9hin' your feet?" They obeyed, but as Levi took the washpan from a bench by the door he said, with a grumble: "I'd 'bout as soon stay home from a party as to have to fix up so for hit!" ?fyetrnit; FrPP Prp?<j How to Ayoid Trouble.

The young cock looked thoughtful. ''Take example by me. I've got along and have been looked up to for half a century by simply keeping my bill shut and turning with the wind." The moral is obvious.

After a large wedding in Washington the "best man" started at hardly an hour's notice, for South Africa. On his return to Washington, after an absence of some eighteen months, he received the warmest sort of welcome from his old associates. A dinner given in his honor afforded the first ocasion since the wedding for donning evening dress, and in the midst of the evening, having occasion to feel in his waistcoat pocket for something he electrified the party by drawing forth a $100 bank note. Where had it come from? Who had put it there? His fellow guests had all sorts of suggestions to offer, none of which seemed satisfactory. Early the next morning the truth flashed across his mind. He called upon the clergyman who had performed the marriage ceremony. "You remember the fact, I suppose," said the visitor, "of marrying Mr. H and Miss G about a year and a half ago?" "Oh, very well," answered the clergyman. "I see them constant^'. They at lUilU U1J V/UU1 VU. "Then I hope you will pardon a rather delicate question, asked in strict confidence.

According to Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens used to tell the following as his best "American story." "Did you ever see a snail, sir?" asked the passenger of the stage coach driver. "Yes, sir," was the response. "Where did you meet him, sir?" "I didn't meet him, at all, sir." "Ob, excuse me, sir, but I'm sure that you must, for I'll vow you never overtook him." Apparently this earnest 9eeker after information overlooked the possibility of the snail having overtaken the driver. Like a Drowning Man.

In the ease of all hunting dogs, sue!; as foxhounds or wolves, which pack together, the tail Is carried ulot't and i? very free in movement. It is also frequently rendered more conspicuous Ik the tip being white, and this is almost invariably the case when the houndj are of mixed coior. When ranging the long grass of the prairie or jungle, the raised tips of the tail would often be all that an individual member of the baud would see of its fellows. There is no doubt that hounds habitually watch the tails of those in front of them when drawing a covert. If a faint drag is detected suggestive of the presence of a fox, but scarcely sufficient to be sworn to vocally, the tail of the finder is at once set in motion, and the warmer the scent the quicker does it wag. Others, seeing the signal, quickly join the iirst, and there is an assemblage of waving tails before even the least whimper is heard. Should the drag prove a doubtful one, the hounds separate again, and the waving ceases, but if it grows stronger when followed up the wagging becomes more and more emphatic until one after another the animals begin to whine and give tongue and stream off in Indian iile along the line of scent. When the pack is in full cry upon a strong scent, the tails cease to wave, but are carried aloft in full view. The moment when the dog most enjoys life is the moment when he sights game. That moment is the time when he wags his tail most vigorously In order to announce his discovery to his fellow dogs. In this way, by the habit of association, he got to wagging his tail whenever he wa9 pleased. The more pleased he is the more vigorously he wags his tail, so that the wagging of a dog's tail under pleasurable emotions can be traced directly to the time when the dog used his tail as a signal of the discovery of his prey.-?D.

Tiffany of an importunate Irishman who for many years had been employed an a window washer. His pay had been raiised quite as often as was consistent with the dignity of his position, but he seemed alwaya hungry (or probably thirsty) for more. At length the firm decided that the limit was reached. Not so Pat. Going one morning to the inner sanctuary, he sought audience with Mr. Tiffany. "Good moruin', Mr. Tiffany," he commenced artfully, seeking to preface his errand by disinterested conversation. "Good morning, Patrick," was the answer. "And how are ye this mornln', Mr. Tiffany'/" "Quite well, thank you, Patrick." "And how are your wife and family?" "Quite well, thank you, Patrick. But what can I do for you this morning?" "Oi've been thinkin', Mr. Tiffany, thot Oi've served ye long and faithful these twenty-foive years and thot Oi sh'ud Lave a raise in me pay." "You should be thankful, Patrick, that you have b>&en permitted to serve so distinguished a house as that of Tiffany & Co. for twenty-five years. That, with what we have already done for you, should be sufficient. Good mornlncr. Patrick." "Good mornin', Mr. Tiffany." Realizing the futility of further words, he left the room. Reaching the outer office, he was hailed by a chorus from the "boys," to whom his periodical pilgrimages had become a standing Joke: "What did you get, Pat?" "Faith," was the ready answer, "Oi got permission to Rape me job, and Oi tuk it!"?New York Times. Mcintefiore'n rtebnk*. A man who was once talking with the late Sir Mo3es Monteflore at a reception found the conversation so entertaining that he completely forgot the race of his companion and made some uncomplimentary remark about the Jewish features of a lady who wa9 passing by. The mistake was no sooner made than it was perceived. The unhappy man began to apologize profusely. "I ask a thousand pardons. It was so stupid of me to forget. You look angry enough to eat me. I beg you not to devour me." "Sir," replied Sir Moses, "it is *mpos Bible. My religion forbids."?Peter's "The Jew as Patriot." Capacity and Power. A man is worth to himself just what he is capable of enjoying. This means the utmost enlargement of his capacity.
