THURSDAY, JllVE 19, 1902. = Some of the newspapers that used to be conspicuous in their support of the McLaurin idea now show a disposition to tumble over all obstacles in getting back on the Bryan platform.?Florence Times. We would be glad for our contempofrary to name the newspapers who are getting back on the Bryan platform. For the reason that this newspaper believes iu many policies advocated by Senator McLaurin and expects to continue to advocate them. We think it only just to those of us who are not ready to change our opinions at the dictates of the office holders and politicians, that the names of those who have recanted should be made known. At the campaign meeting here to-morj|jS row (Thursday) our people will see and hear from a candidate who is decidedly I out of the ordinary m several respects. This man is 1). C. Hey ward, a candidate for governor, and lie has never held any kind of political office and is not a "Colonel." Moreover he is a farmer and nothing else?has lived on the farm all his life. We trust he will receive favorable consideration at the hands of our people, for without any reflection on the other gentlemen in the race, he is thoroughly honest and conscientious, is able and energetic, is a line business man and has none of the tricks of the professional politician or wire-puller. Heyward is essentially a man of the people, and we can be assured of a sound, clean, progressive, business administration if he is our next chief executive. The Newberry Herald and News does not agree entirely with our position in regard to publishing reports of the State campaign meetings, but it evidently did not catch our meaning. Of coarse we expect to print any matters of interest which may transpire, and shall endeavor to publish such facts as will enable our readers to vote intelligently. But we do not propose to use our paper as an advertising medium for these candidates and consume space by publishing long speeches during the campaign. A newspaper has a duty to perform to its sub'scribers, and they want to know and are entitled to know all matters of importance in regard to candidates, necessary to (enable them to decide how to vote intelligently, especially in view of the fact that many men will run for office, who are comparatively unknown. There is however, another function of a newspaper, and that is to publish the news. Therefore we shall not print speeches which do not interest our readers to the exclusion of news matters. Our contemporary should remember that a newspaper is published for the benefit of its subscribers, not the candidates, and it is the first duty of an editor to give his subscribers what they want. If our readers wish long reports of campaign meetings, we wilt give them, but our experience as a newspaper .man is that they do not. In the past the writer has noticed that some weekly papers would consume half or more of their available space with reports of State campaign meetings where each was practically a repetition of the other, the " speeches of. the candidates being the same in effect, but possfMyjclothed in somewhat different language. Campaign Meetings. The State campaign opened Tuesday,the j*v-- meeting for State candidates being held at rmA otian fnr T'nitPf] IOUUltCl ailU tuv ao5lb*)aiiVU *vr* VU??V\? ;States Senator speaking at Columbia. The senatorial meeting was very quiet and tame, as well as being slimlv attended, only about 400 persons being present. All the candidates spoke and declared their views on national issues, there being no practical difference in the position of any of them. At Sumter J. II. Tillman put a little ginger into his speech in regard to W. J. : Talbert, and it seems that there will be friction between these two candidates. Both are running for governor, and are from the same county: Edgerield. D. C. Heyward, candidate for governor, was the only speaker who was greeted with any enthusiasm, and he was heartily applauded at intervals throughout his speech, which was a strong and clear-cut outline of his position on all issues. XW. F. Stevenson, for attorney general, made a vigorous speech, and took full advantage of the vulnerable places in the speech of his opponent, Mr. Guuter, and made fun at his expense to the amusement of the audience. All. the other speeches were tame. Tillman, however, attempted to explain ?'y. # the charge of falsifying the record of the Senate, but his explanation did not satisfy ' the crowd. It is very plain that the people are tired of the campaign meetings, as this meeting was called to order with 198 persons present. The number gradually increased ?roil oKn?t v>nn iccrc in the house, but most of these left at dinner time. The ^ meeting was closed with a mere handful / present. There are thirty-three candidates in the p . State campaign party, and naturally each one has little time in which to make a speech. Praying for Rain in Texas. Dallas, Tex., June 15.?The serious condition of crops, owing to the long drought, continues. A light rain fell in Dallas today, hut it was not sufficient to do anj- good. Reports from southern and central Texas show a worse condition than reported Friday. In many sections, it is said, corn has been literally burned Pup and cotton is suffering severely. At Taylorall business will he suspended for one hour, between 11 and 12 o'clock, tomorrow and prayers for rain will be offered. Hundreds of bead of stock are being shipped away to avoid the drought. Gen. Vouiuans to Act. This year botii Attorney General Bel-linger and Assistant Attorney General v Gunter are candidates in the primary and have to make the canvass of the State. While these officials have arranged so that one of them can be at the office once or twice a w eek, sometimes oftener, they did not think it right to those having business with the office to leave it at any time without some one in charge, so they have engaged Gen. LeKov F. Voumans, one of the most di>tinguished attorneys in the State, himself attorney general for some years, to be in charge of the office during their absence until Sept. 1. This is an arrangement that will be appreciated by those having dealings with the office.?The State. m I: The Official Candidates.

John Wesley Gaines?he is fond of being called by his full name?figures oftener in The Record, perhaps, than any other member of the house; not because he "does things," but simply because he loves the sound of his own Voice. Some say he is trying to eclipse the record of Senator Patterson, who has addressed the senate 537 times in his six months' service. When "Bob" Taylor was governor of Tennessee Gaines called to see him. "How are you, Gaines ?" said the governor. "Have a chair." "I was elected to congress yesterday," was Gaines' somewhat haughty reply, "and prefer to be called by my title." "That so ?" queried Gov. "Bob," who is something of a joker, "Then take two chairs."?Washington letter to Chicago Post, Willing to Help. A story comes of the pastor of a struggling but enterprising little church who was making a fervent appeal to his congregation for funds toward a new building, says the Philadelphia Times. When lie paused in his argument, a well-dressed gentleman arose, stepped forward, explained that, although a stranger in their midst, he had taken an interest in their effort, and asked to be permitted to subscribe a thousand dollars. Of course, the pastor was amazed; a single contribution of $10 would have been as high as his expectations. "My dear brother," he exclaimed, "may I askVour name?" "Smith, sir. I have just settled in business in the neighborhood." "Brother Smith," went on the pastor, "the Lord will reward you, and will increase your business a? hundred-fold ? I, my family, every member of my congrefition, I am sure, will assist you. Seel? appeal to them, sir!" And turniug to the ooncrreo-fttion the nastor asked: ? _ 0?n 1 I "Now, everybody present who will help Mr. Smith in his business, arise, please." The entire assemblage was on its feet in a second. "The spirit is there, Brother Smith, as you see!" the pastor continued. "May I not with propriety before my flock ask what is your business ?" "I'm?I'm an?an undertaker, " stammered the stranger.

The Bishop of Bath and Wells, who is to flgure so prominently at the coronation, standing to the left of the throne of the king throughout tbe greater portion of the ceremony, is not exactly noted for his good looks, says the Marquise de Fontenoy, in the Philadelphia Press. In fact, he is rather homely. He is quite aware of the fact, however, and tells a good story in this connection at his own expense. It seems that one day as lie was riding in an omuibus in Loudon he was annoyed by tbe persistent staring of a workiugman on the opposite seat. The man presently addressed himself to him as follows: "You're a parson, ain't you?" 'Well, yes, that is so." "Look 'ere, parsou,' exclaimed the man,"would you mind 'comiu' 'onie with me to see my wife?" Imagiuing the wife was sick and needing spiritual assistance the bishop at much inconvenience to himself, went with the man. On arriving at the house the man shouted to his wire to come dow nstairs, and pointing to the astonished prelate, cried with a grin of delight: "Look' e'ere, Sairry.

He was taken out for drill with other raw recruits under command of a sergeant, and, as luck 1 would have it, secured one of the worst buckers in the whole troop. "Now, my men," said the sergeant in addressing them, "no one is allowed to dismount without orders from a superior ' officer. Remember that." i Tim was 110 sooner in the saddle than 1 he was hurled heels over head through the air, and came down so hard that the breath was almost knocked out of him.

I "No, from hindquarters." 1 "Take him to the guardhouse!" ordered 1 the sergeant. < CHINESE WASTE PAPER. Every Scrap With a Printed Character Upon It Ih Sacred. You will never find upon the street or in the rubbish heap a scrap of paper with Chinese characters written or printed upon it. An intelligent Chinaman, questioned as to the reason, explained the matter in this way: "Melican man never tears up and tlows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook. Chinee liting all same to Chinaman as Melican man's Bible." Then he still further elucidated the mystery by leading the way to the cellar of a Race street house, in which, piled up before a gigantic furnace, were bundles of paper and sacks of letters and newspapers printed in Chinese hieroglyphics. . ^ Interpreted into plain English the old Chinaman's story was that the orientals regarded the written characters as so sacred that this furnace was especially set apart, "after being blessed by the priests, for the incineration of all Chinese letters and documents. So sacred indeed was the Chinese writiug regarded by the orientals that the most compromising letters of the highbinders and the private correspondence of families were left with confidence in the care of the furnace attendant, it being perfectly well known that he would not risk his im: mortal soul by committing the deadly sin of pryiug into correspondence committed to his care to be given to the flames. Nor does the oriental regard the Chinese writing as safe from the hands of the infidel even when every scrap of it has been reduced to ashes. After the paper has been burned the ashes are carefully collected, and when enough has accumulated to make a load they are shipped on board a boat belonging to the Chinese Merchants' company, by which society all such matters are managed, and taken to sea, where they are scattered over the surface of the ocean. To the Chinaman it is horrifying to see the white man's newspapers used for wrapping purposes, his letters scattered around the streets to be 11 .a a .1 j i i n . _ ? waineu ou auu uis oiu uooks uuug around when read as though of no more sacredness than old boots. A letter, an envelope, the printed slips extolling the virtues of preserved ginger or the characters that advertise a laundry for sale become, after their usefulness has passed, as sacred as the gilded ornaments that add to the glory of the joss. One man is employed in Chinatown to collect the waste paper. He calls at the stores and the rooms and gathers it up with the utmost care, tying it in sacks so that not a shred shall escape. With his sacred burden he goes to the furnace room and hands the sacks to the important personage in charge there, who stows it away ready for the next burning day. Twice a week the furnace is lighted and the sacks of paper solemnly committed to the flames, with many incantations.?Philadelphia Record. How He Proposed. He wished to propose to the girl of his choice, but he was nervous. First he thought of the old romantic style: "Bv mv halidom. fair one, I would fain take thee for my bride. Say thou wilt be mine, and ere the sun gilds the turrets of yonder castle the friar shall unite us in holy bonds." In the face of the prevalent rage for dramas of the olden style, this form seemed satisfactory. Being an eminently modern young man, however, he thought again and determined to test the theatrical mode. But just at that moment the fair Mary tripped into the room, and he blurted out: "Er?Mary?er?will you?er?well"? But Mary was far from being contrary. "Oh, that's all right, George," said she, "I know what you mean. Why, of course, I will. Papa will be delighted."?New York Herald. Sacking: Poisonous Wounds.

In the Atlanta Journal recently, Sam Jones was writing of Tom Dixon's novel, "The Leopard's Spots." He concluded his remarks on the book by saying, "Get the book and read it, }'ou can never forget it," and then writes as follows concerning its author: "Tom Dixon'9 lectures sparkle and scintillate and thrill and move men. He i9 a live wire, mind how you tread upon it. If he had been a locomotive engine he would have been the 999 pulling the Empire State Express on the New \ ork Central railroad: if he had been a cvclone he would have made things whirl and tumble from one end to the other; if he had been a horse he would have trotted it in two minutes two and a half seconds; if he had been a dog he would have been a grevhound. Hurrah for Tom and his book. If Tom had as much religion as he has got fire and vigor and enthusiasm aud brains he would set this country on fire. But God gives all things to no man.

At a little dinner the other night the statement was made that the colored race had longer memories than white folks. Mark Twaiu, who was present, agreed with the remark, and to prove it told the following: "Some years ago, when south, I met an old colored man who claimed to have known George Washington. I asked him if he was in the boat when Gen. Washington crossed the Delaware, and he instantly replied! 'Lor,' massa, I steered dat boat.' "'Well,' said I, "do you remember when George took the hack at the cherry tree?' "He looked worried for a minute, and then, with a beaming smile, said: "'Why, suah, massa, I dun drove dat hack mahself.' "?New York Times. Virulent Cancer Cured.

"The only way for a man on a salary to make a success of life financially aud otherwise is to stick to one thing," said a government employee to a reporter. "Twenty yea:*s ago I had plenty of energy, a little money and a huge stock of ideas. I determined to become a power in the money market and as a starter dabbled for six months or more in stocks. That experience cost me $4,000. I soon became convinced that I was cut out for a druggist and straightway invested $2,000 in a pharmacy. Cut rates were unknown in those days, and in a short time I was doing well, but one day I read of a prominent lawyer receiving $25,000 as a fee for some case, and instantly I became imbued with the idea that I would make a ' t \ ^ ^ A ~ great lawyer. 1 uegitMJieu ujy business to such an extent that in two years I was $500 to the bad.

By this time my money was nearly all gone. What to do next was the all absorbing question. One day a friend convinced me that big money could be made out of chickens. I invested every ceut I had left, $1,200, in hens. At the end of six months I sold out my hennery for $300. Then I got a government job, and here I've been ever since. Shortly after my arrival in this towr I purchased a little land in the northwest section. That investment has yielded me a very handsome return, and I am now thoroughly satisfied that the only thing for a man on a salary to do is to either put a little each month in some good savings bank or invest his surplus in land or bricks and mortar. Remember one thing ?this is an age of specialists. Stick to one thing, make a success of it, and maybe one of these days some big company will offer you a princely salary for your knowledge.

With grapes the rule should be to dig deep and plant shallow. For rooting the best cutting of a plant is a shoot of new growth just before it grows woody or at all fibrous. Trees about the house make it more attractive and homelike, besides shielding it from the cold winds of winter and the hot suns of summer. Cut the young trees back when placing them in the ground and also trim off some of the roots, especially those that are bruised or broken In any way. Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds of exhausted soil. The trees will make a growth of leaves and wood on poor land, but they require mineral manure to perfect the fruit. In most cases when planting shade trees the hardiness of the trees should be given preference over rapid growth. It is of no advantage to secure a shade tree early only to have it die when most useful. Changed the Text. "Dr. De Witt Talmage during his visit to England in 1879," says the London Chronicle, "had been engaged to preach in a church in oue of the large towns of England.

Instead of this he was surprised to find it ouly moderately full. "'WThy,' he demanded of the pastor, 'don't you let this crowd of people come in?
