Reports from the congressional camggf
paign show Senator S. G. 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

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

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.

"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

"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. John Eustace went

troth. 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

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?'
