Railroad Commissioner Wharton it seems is failing to make good his promise to bring *'old TS" into Florence on time. * Railroad Commissioner Garris figures prominently in the newspapers these days. He richly deserves all the good things said of him. * * * The day of the bargain sale is at hand, and at this season many a woman will buy things she has no earthly use for, simply because they are cheap. . * * The town of Union has recently experienced a street carnival, and a paper published there, in speaking of the trapeze feats of a womau performer, said her ''acting on the trapeze was simply up to the scratch." Wonder what that means? * * vV-- - * It is said that in case the nomination of 9 W. D. Crum, a negro, to be collector of the port of Charleston, is sent to the Senate, that Senator Tillman will oppose the confirmation. It is to be hoped he will be successful in preventing Charleston from being served by a negro. * * - * ? It is getting high time for President to "make good" by appointing some negro to a Federal position in a Northern or Western city. If they are such desirable; officials, as he seems to think when South- j em appointments are being considered, really our Northern friends should not be slighted. * * * A fellow up in New Jersey is living literally up to the idea that marriage is a lottery. He proposes to raffle himself off as a husband at 25 cents a chance, the winner to take him, his savings, and a farm of 127 acres. Five negro women have bought tickets, and now he's worried j lest one of them win. * * * *- 'vA hoAikAw IJ/\lm^c <\f T^qrn_ WUI gUUU UlUtUCl UUllUbO, Ul IUV muu well People, makes a very wise suggestion when he says a rule should be adopted by the legislature limiting the length of all speeches to five minutes each. But the legislature will hardly adopt it. Too - many members of that body like to hear themselves talk too well to pass any such thing. * * * The Southern Christian Advocate made its appearance last week from its new home in Spartanburg. The printing is not as good as formerly, but ?this is accounted for by moving and getting out the first issue under the great difficulties incident to such an event. Rev. Geo. H "Waddell is the new publisher, and we believe he will make the paper a suecess in every way. * * * It is to be hoped the legislature will not be so stupid as to pass a child labor bill, but if they do, they should certainly have in it a compulsory education clause. Fact is too many white children are growing up in ignorance in South Carolina anyway, and many of these uneducated ones are not the offspring of cotton mill operatives either. A compulsory education Jaw would be a good thing all around. It should be passed, with or without cotton mill legislation.. * jt * * Commissioner Garris has just made another decision for the railroad commission. This time in the matter of the port of Charleston by R. G. Rhett against the Southern Railway, alleging discriminations, delays and refusals to move cotton. The commission decides that there has been no discrimination in rates, but that there has been discriminative delay. The railroads say this delay in forwarding shipments was caused by shortage of the car supply. This same shortage has existed for two years or mqp<and the commission called the attention of the legislature to it last year and asked for a remedy. This paper of Commissioner Garris is indeed an able one, going into the question deeply and reviewing it fully and exhaustively. TBe decision shows plainly the necessitefff the legislature giving the . ssilfoad commissioners more power. The ' board is now often blamed for not correcting abuses which it has no power to remedy.

Genuine Kansas Raleigh. Nature's gentlemen still are found in Kansas despite the refinements of luxury that big crops have brought. On the Rock Island Railway recently, near Marion, two well dressed, ardentlovers, evidently a newly married couple, amused the other passengers with their cooing. After a while the fair young bride leaned back in her chair and fell asleep. Her companion took advantage of the lull in af< i* 1 J i- i-' J iecuonai uemonsirauuns auu ncut mtu the smoker to enjoy a cigar. While he was gone a long, lean, lank, grizzly specit men of humanity came in and sat down j in the vacant chair beside the sleeping j beauty. Presently the young woman, half j asleep, turned and laid her head lovingly l on the shoulder of the stranger and put ! her plump arms around his neck. The I green, gawky stranger seemed a trifle sur! prised at this unexpected familiarity, but | made no desperate effort to escape. He merely looked around at the confused passengers and grinned. Then the hilarity awoke the young woman and, opening her large blue eyes, she saw her mistake. With flushed cheeks she stammered an apology. "You needn't apologize to me," drawled the stranger, "X don't keer."? Marion, (Kansas), Record.

"My dear boys," said the kindly old pedagogue, with tears in his eves, "I can never hope to tell you how you have made me feel by this token of your love for me. All I can do is to thank you for the sacrifices you have made of your little purses for the sake of my comfort. If you have found me severe at times, I trust you realize that it has always been for your own good. I hope to always have your full confidence, as you have ever had mine."
