Mayfield to be ||w' making a fine impression bv his able llgk speeches and attractive manner. He will no doubt be the next congressman from the second district. lp? Senator Mayfield*never strikes until he is struck, and never strikes below the ||| belt. He is a noble Christian, an emig||i. nent and conscientious servant of the SpXiv people, and a man who has never shirked Bfc. duty's call. His public record is an open ||fg book that will serve as a beacon light to brighten the pathway of future genera (That puny little catechising given Senator Mayfield at Aiken a few days ago fell - abort of its purpose. Mr. Mayfield is al ways ready and eager to answer any ques tion in regard to his official acts, and . points with pride to his public record v . upon the escutcheon of which there is not a spot or stain. He is a statesman in the broadest sense of the word; a gentleman of the highest Christian attainments, and has never been known to stoop to i anything that is low^or grovelling. The Mirror, a labor paper published in I the interest of the textile workers of the Horse Creek Valley, has the following to in reference to Senator Mayfield:; : "Hon. 8. G. Mayfield is the only candidate for congress who thought enough of ~ the working people to publish his an-; nouncement in the labor paper, and we i believe that he should have every vote in f- Horse Creek Valley." He'll get lots of J Ii the^n, too, for the laboring people are be8 ; ginning to realize who their friends are. . Mayfield's record in the Senate proves conclusively that he is the friend of the working man. and his private record at |? home is the same. If those who are m*charge of the State's great "moral institution" are wise, they will take due notice of the dark clouds pA- which are appearing in the dispensary _ sky. There is now practically a universal ?v sentiment (and in many instances this sentiment manifests itself in a peremptory fe-. demand) that the dispensary system be better enforced. By this we mean, those in charge of these dispensaries should P obey the law. We are not referring to the **** *" * * ~ 4 ? WAfAMAMO fhas been faithful and efficient simply fcevV< cause some impecunious fellow wants the job for the salary there is in it? Is that the way we manage our private business? No, no; we do not believe the people will pursue such a short-sighted business policy. It is true the place of railroad commissioner is a hard one to fill, and no man can perform the duties properly and please everybody. The position of arbiter between the people and the railroads is a delicate, intricate, and exacting one. fFew people understand it, and some who are candidates never will. And yet it is a most important office. An ignorant, prejudiced man there could do much harm, v: . both to the people and the corporations. Both parties should have equal justice, no more, no less, and to carry out this , we must elect an able, conscientious man, one who knows his duty and will dare do it. Such a man we have in C. "W. Garris, and he should by all means be re-elected, j I Illicit Q6&16TS QOW. X>ut it is a uutuiiuuo fact that the provisions of the dispensary law, which were meant to make for a reduction in the consumption of whiskey, Save been utterly disregarded, as a general rule. Instead of growing better, the situation has become worse, until now our people generally are clamoring for a better enforcement of the restrictive fea tures. If the system is to remain with us, this promiscuous selling of intoxicants must be stopped and the law fully carried out by those in authority. The country people, slow to act but a power when they do, are realizing the harm done because f of this lack of enforcement by the officials themselves, and just as sure as you're living they'll rise in their might and overthrow the whole system if matters do not improve. And all this is said as a friend of the system, for we have consistently supported it since its institution. 3p But we must say that at present all signs point to the fact that the next P^y political revolution in South Carolina will be caused by the dispensary. * * It is stated in the daily papers that Hon. C. W. Garris, or JBamoerg, now . chairman of the board of railroad commissioners, and who will stand for reIfe. . election jn the primary this summer, will P> be opposed by six candidates. And yet we'll warrant that many of these six men at least have no more idea of the duties of railroad commissioner than a catfish has about Sundav. Garris has been in this office for one term (six years), and during this time has risen to the position of chairman by sheer force of ability. His colleagues on the board have [recognized this ability and haveh onored him. He has been energetic, faithful and com|petent, ever alive and devoted to the HsV interests of his constituency. Are we to disDense with the services of one who T1: ?!? ? i - ' v - i I then after a minute came upstairs, still moving ponderously. But his footsteps did not mask another sound?the clicking of pistol locks. Intuitively she understood?he had strolled over to the Country club, picked a quarrel with Eustace and would have him out at daybreak next morning. No thought of appeal to him stirr?d in her. Instead there came a firm determination matching his own. She knew her name had not been mentioned in the quarrel quite as well as she knew herself its real root The men must not fight She could not have her brother's blood upon her conscience, still less her lover's. There nrac nru? Tray tr? stnn them, a wa.V bitterer than death; still she set her feet toward it unfaltering: She got up and sat by the window, watching with noteless eyes the wheeling stars, the waning moonlight But at the first pale dawn light she was tensely alive. Below she heard a stealthy stir, the cautious opening of a door, with muffled voices and cautious steps outside. She got up and crept to her brother's room. Lighted candles still glittered there. Upon the table there was a brief will, the ink not dry in the heavily scrawled signature. Beside it was a briefer statement: "Let it be understood of all men if I die.I shall have died in a man's quarrel, founded on no personal grudge, but resenting unjust aspersions upon my native state." She almost smiled over it The native state counted to Joe for so very little in the ordinary course of life. Twenty minutes later, Just as the riun peeped over rimming trees, she came out in a little clearing upon a wooded hilltop and saw two men standing weapon in hand, face to face, ten yards apart. Three other men a little way off had scared, white faces, but neither combatant had lost wholesome color. Millie sprang between them, white as a dawn wraith, bat with eyes like glowing coals. She flung up her arms and said clearly: "Fire, gentlemen! If anybody deserves death, I dor "Millie! Go back!" Joe Cantrell thundered. Eustace dropped his pistol and leaped to the girl" 8 side. In her ear be whispered brokenly: "Darling, let him kill me. It is the best way out of it alir Millie shrank from him a little. ? M M M "There is do neea lor Dtooasaeu, sue said. Then, raising ber voice so the seconds could bear: 1 call all here to witness that I have not been deceived. I knew at the very first of John Eustace's betrothal We have done no ? wrong to anybody. We?we love each other because we cannot help it. Oh, it is bard that my own brother brings me to such open shame P "Come home," Cantreil said roughly, flinging away his pistol and clutching her arm. Eustace caught the other hand, saying: "Stay with me, Millie! The whole world may go If I have your* "Goodby,** Millie said, drawing away her hand. "I shall love you always, John, but your wife need not be jealous.** By the strange orderings of fate lhat was a true word.

She gave him back, his free- dom and would have given him half her money only he would not have it But he could not persuade Millie to marry him until Joe, the masterful, had wooed and won Alice Ellison and her fortune. Lord Roberts* Dish of Ortolan i. When Lord Roberts was out In India he went to visit a hill station where there was much difficulty in securing a variety of food. In fact as far as meat went the officers were practical- , ly reduced to living on ortolans, which, as every one knows, are tiny birds much esteemed as^i table delicacy. On the evening on which the commander in chief arrived he was asked what he would like for breakfast "What is there?" asked the visitor. "Well," was the answer, "we have ortolans." "That will do," replied Lord Roberts. "Let me have some ortolans." Now, the officer who superintended these matters was in the habit of going out every morning and shooting his own ortolans, ' Dm as oe was ousy an una occasion with extra parade and staff duties he gave his gun and cartridges to his "boy," bidding him go out and shoot as many ortolans as possible for breakfast The "boy" went off and after a time returned, not with dainty ortolans, but with common hedge sparrows. There was nothing for it but to serve them up, and when the cover was removed, i lo and behold, thirty sparrows cooked on toast! The commander in chief, it is said, ate four of them with a good appetite and without making any observations.?London M. A. P. Very Easy For Her. A "woman's reason," with all its traditional lack of logic, came out in an amusing fashion at a recent dinner ' party in Brooklyn. In the course of the evening the conversation drifted around to chose odd little mathematical bits of the "How old is Ann?" variety, when one of the company, with explanations that the next problem would not be a very dif| ficult one, questioned as follows: "If a bottle and a cork together cost $1.10 and the bottle cost a dollar more [ than the cork, how much did the cork cost?" Almost instantly one of the ladies was ready with the answer: "Why, the cork cost 5 cents and the bottle $1.05. Thafs too easy." The lady's husband, familiar through , years of experience with her woeful | lack of skill in figures, looked up in astonishment "Heavensr ne excjaimea. "mow aia yoa come to get that so soon?' "Why, my dear," was the reply, "corks always coet 5 cents, don't they?' ?New York Times.
