It is passing strange the solicitude some
couin v aromia newspapers suuw
McLaurin getting a federal position, when
they oppose hiin so strongly. They must
want him out of the way.
?^1
The Columbia State and Senator B. R.
Tillman are agreeing on almost too
many issues these days to suit us. After
all that has passed between the Senator
and that newspaper, we confess to a queer
feeling when we see them standing together
in these latter days.
The question of requiring State officials
to reside in Columbia during their terms
of office is receiving some attention. If
a man can discharge the duties of the position
just as well by holding his residence
in another part of the State, it would be
rather a hardship to require him to move.
Then, too, living expenses in a city are
high, and many a man who holds a State
position lives on his farm.
Birds, Railroaders and Exodasters.
Olar, May 10.?We have read of the
far-famed European nightingale discoursrl
ing sweet melodies for its own pleasure;
of the anvil bird of South America, which
will perch on a large dead hollow limb on
the tallest tree and striking it rapidly in
the eany morn wun us nuge 0111, creates
a weird souncLthat can be heard for miles
i around for its own delectation, but to the
surprise of other denizens in fur and
feathers. We have heard the American
nightingale?our own mockingbird?trilling
dulcet strains for its own as well as
human delight, but he never heard, until
a few days ago, a native red-headed woodpecker
extracting music from the telegra;^f
phical harp. While leisurely walking
. down the railroad the writer heard an un:
canny sound among the wires. Looking
up a pole there sat the bird rapidly peck
ing on one of the iron bars that supports \
the cross-arm holding the insulators.
After he got the wires to ringing he would
stop awhile, turn his eyes askant at the
- electric cords until their vibrations ceased
jjpf and he seemed really enchanted. He repeated
the feat several times when an
other bird of the same species alighted on '
the post, but was driven off instanter by
the former. Surely "music hath charms I

If the epidemic of measles continues 1
many days longer in this little town it *
will be immune at least from that dread
disease, which has entered nearly every
house. Sorry to chronicle the death today
about 10 "o'clock of Dewey, the son of (
G. B. Bessinger. He was a bright, inter- 1
esting little fellow, and the idol of the
household. The sympathies of the townsmen
go out to the stricken family. 1
In a small town in one of the counties (
of the State lives an elderly German who,
because of the high esteem in which he is 1
held in the community, has been elected 1
justice of the peace. The old gentleman
was recently called upon to decide a most (
perplexing question.
One of his neighbors is the possessor s
of a dog. The dog, although not actually c
vicious, delights in running out of the k
C~- . gate and barking savagely at passers-by. .
|j This has been the source of great annoy- *
W ance to the neighbors, especially to one, 1
who vowed to get even with uthe pesky
critter." Recently this neighbor was returning
from a trip, gun in hand. He y
was set upon by the dog, whereupon he
raised his weapon and fired at the brute.
His aim was not very good and the dog

The owner of the dog had hi9 neighbor 8
mm hauled before the old justice on a cbaTge
of cruelty to animals, and the courtroom r
M was crowded with the partisaus of both
f men. The justice heard the charge, and
then the defense that the dog was a *
dangerous animal and a menace to the J
neighborhood. The old German there- J;
upon cleared his throat and delivered the
dictum: J
"Der man?he has been guilty of gruelty 1
to animals." And one side of the court- ^
room applauded the justice of the decis- *
ion. -1
"But der tog?he vas a vicious tog."
And the other side voiced its approval.
"I vill tine der man fife tollars."

He Almost Won.
An old story which has lately been revived
owes its new lease of life to a touch
of human nature and a genuine humor *
that are as fresh in one age as in another. *
Here it is:
Mike had made a bet with Larry that
Larry could not carry him with his hod
up the ladder to the top of the house
without letting him fall. Larry took the c
bet. Mike sat in the hod, and Larry
swum: him to his shoulder and started ud *
the ladder. 4 8
Rung after rung was passed, until near 1
the top Larry's foot slipped ; and if the *
stick of the hod hud not caught in the
ladder, Mike would have fallen to the
ground, four stories below. a
But Larry with an effort forced his a
burden back into place, went the short remaining
distance and dumped Mike on s
the roof. 1
"Well, ye've won," panted Mike, "but
I thought 1 had ye when your foot *
slipped."

In view of the approaching state and
county campaign, we publish tke following
from the Johnston Monitor. It expresses
our views in many particulars:
"In determining whom you will cast
your vote for in the coniiug primary, we
would like to make a few suggestions as
to the general method of deciding the
matter.
"The first sugestion would be to lay
aside all personal feeling whether it be of
friendship or prejudice and ask ourselves
which would s.erve the State most creditably,
honestly and ably. Who would reflect
the most honor and dignity to our
State and county in the office to which
they ask your vote? In the next place

life entitle him to your confidence, respect
and honor, and are his habits and
character such as to warrant you in believing
him capable to serve the State and
the people in such a way as to reflect
honor and credit upon the people who
elected him? Don't be misled into voting
for a man, because at one time lie did
something which inspired commendation
and applause. Take the most irresponsible
and unworthy man in this state,
whether he be a free man or a jail bird in
the loving embrace of handcuffs, chain
and ball and at sometime in their life they
perhaps have done some good, noble and
even chivalric deed?this does not entitle
him to your vote for an office of honor and
responsiblity. Consider well all his claims
as to loyalty to certain principles, his
ability etc.; but also consider his personal
character; are they such as to make you
believe he could creditably represent the
people of this State in positions of honor
and trust?
"If not, then as a kindness to the party
who aspires to the position for the credit
and honor of the good old State of South
Carolina, don't vote for him, but select a
man whose public and private life is above
reproach and even the suspicion of reproach
or irresponsibility, a man whose
character, habits and life" is and has been
consistent, honorable, trustworthy and
sober; a man in whom you can at all times
trust, honor and respect, one whom we
would never be ashamed to present to
strangers as our uuveruui, uui vuugiwaman;
or our representative in any other
branch of public service. We don't in
the least, mind being classed as a partisan
in favor of such men, as opposed to designing
politicians with as many faces as
there are voters; to untrustworthy men;
to habitual gamblers and drunkards and
demagogues. Let us set a high standard
for those whom we shall elect to serve us
in any national, state, or county office and
select men whose fitness and character
comes nearest our standard; for be assured
tbelword will judg? us by the character
ana habits of those we elect to serve
us in those offices."

THE INNS OF CHINA.
Their Cheapnettw In About Their One
lledeemlnK Feature.
Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bridle rein is seized by a dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, shouting
loudly meanwhile for the proprietor,
who presently looms up through
the wilderness of carts and mules. Proprietor
and boy then hold a parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then a
door is pushed open and the traveler is
shown to his apartment. It is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for a small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
olaoe of trlass.
The first duty of the proprietor in
making a patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces it with a new one, because
the sheet of paper is worth
about one-tenth of a cent, and the innkeeper
is not wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through it is of a mottled hue.
At one end of the mule shed is the
kitchen of the inn. It is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten in the rooms. The menu is
not elaborate. It consists only of bowls
of rice and tea. Shou'd the traveler desire
a greater variety of food, he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can cook it in the kitchen
of the inn. To sleep on the bed of a
Chinese inn would be for a foreigner
an impossibility were it not that he is
always so exhausted at the end of
each day's journey that he finds it difficult
to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony. He lies
down on the mat that ewers the hard
heap of mud and surprises himself at
the soundness of his slumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is its cheapness. Just as the traveler
is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount of
hie bill. Everything i9 charged on the
"European plan." Every cup of tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper window
pane, are all itemized in the long
list which the proprietor reels off In
singsong, but the total is surprisingly
low. The cost of food and lodging for
one night for a traveler and two servants,
with stabling and fodder for his
pontes and cart mules, is about 50
cents.?New York Mail and Express.
Boasted Too Soon.
The rear end of a Fordham car was
congested the other afternoon. There
wasn't even "standing room only." A
Jocular commuter said, "Beware of
pickpockets!"
Everybody laughed.
A gentlemanly looking fellow said:
"No man need be afraid of pickpockets
if he does as I did. I have & self
patented scheme. I have a buttonhole
in my vest pocket. I run my chain
through it and attach the other end in
the usual way. They can't draw that
watch through that buttonhole. No
pickpockets in mine, and don't you for- '
get it."

FARMER JOE'S SPEECH.
It Wan Short, bat It CrnMhed the
Bamptloan YoanRnter.
''You may get the better of an opponent
In debate," said an old time orator,
''by sheer force of convincing argument?that
is to say, you may score
and win on points?but if you want to
put your man down and out at a single
coup just make him ridiculous. Only
succeed in doing this, and all the logic
of the other side will explode in vacancy
like so many blank cartridges.
"Once when I was serving a term up
the state in the legislature a bumptious
youngster who ha J just been introduced
was laboring through his maiden
eftort. He was attacking a man who
was his senior by at least a score and
ten years and thought to make a hit by
referring to him as 'that little grayUparrl
from 11 prkiinpr.' Rvinal of Xiaa
ara rose to reply. He was an old timer,
who never spoke unless he had something
to say and so was always sure of
an attentive audience. Farmer Joe, as
he was called, got up slowly, gradually
expanded himself to his full height of
6 feet 4, thrust his left hand behind the
tails of a capacious and somewhat
shabby frock coat, held up the index
finger of his right hand, cleared his
throat ominously and solemnly began:
" 'Mr. Speaker, the honorable gentleman
who has just spoken has never
read Pope's essay. If he had, lie would
remember that the "soul's the standard
of the man." And, sir, fifty such souls
as that of the honorable gentleman
who preceded me could be put into the
skull of a flea and have as much room
there as two frogs in Lake Superior.'
"He didn't have to say more. The
chamber went into a convulsion of
laughter which lasted for several minutes
after the tall farmer had resumed
his seat. As for the youngster, he did
the best he could. He wriggled about,
got red in the face, tried to look unconcerned
and kept his mouth closed during
the balance of the session."?New
York News.
FLOWER AND TREE.
Palms never live more than 250 years.
Ivy has been known to live 450, chest
nut 860, oak 1,600 and yew 2,880 years.
Nothing is better for house plants
than to be set out in a gentle, warm
rain, but a cold rain and wind are anything
but hopeful to them.
In planting trees an important point
not to be forgotten is pressing the soil
down upon the roots so that they will
come in close contact with it.
A pot of flowers in bud should receive
all the sunshine possible, but
when the buds open keep them in
shade, and they will last longer.
The largest apple tree in New England
is in Cheshire, Conn. Its trunk
measures one foot above all root exlargemcnts,
13 feet 8 inches in circumference..
An orchard, whether young or old,
should not be allowed to grow where
heavy crops of grass are taken every
year. It is weakening to the soil and
detrimental to the trees.
In Ashanti there grows a tree resembling
in appearance the English oak,

Drinking Through the Noatrila.
The Indian sages do not practice
their breathing exercises simply for
the sake of repose and sleep. During
the Inbreathing energy is increased.
These Indians are not the only people
who believe that with the inbreathing
of pure air there comes something still I
more vital than oxygen. But the Indians
have developed the art of breathing
more than any other people.
One of 'their favorite exercises is to
inhale through the left nostril, to hold
the breath for a time and then exhale
through the right nostril.
Another of their exercises Is to drink
water through the nostrils, and after it
ban been retained for a short time It is
expelled through tbe nostrils and the
mouth. Tliis is said to cool the head.?
Chambers' Journal.
Growing Bananas.
Bananas are as a rule planted oul
systematically in rows, the "suckers"
being placed at an average of ten feel
apart. The banana plant bears only
one bunch at a time, but it is a quick
growS-, yielding its fruit in twelve to
fourteen months. When the plant is
about six months old, a second "sucker"
or shoot is allowed to spring from
the root, a third after the ninth month,
and so on, so that after the first year
there is a continuous crop being reaped.
Fans la Shsikeapeare'a Time.
Pmo in Khnkpsnpnrp'fi time seem to
have been composed of ostrich and oth
er feathers fastened to handles. Gentlemen
carried fans In those days, and
In one of the later figures of the german
they now carry fans. According
to an old manuscript in the Ashmolean
museum, Sir Edward Cole rode the circuit
with a prodigous fan, which had a
long stick, with which he corrected his
daughters.

"Get my name right," said the proud
owner of the 1,175 pound hog. "It's
