SOUTH CAROLINIANS IN DEMAND. ? )ur Spell-binders to Stump the West for the Democratic Ticket?They Also Expect Good S( Federal Jobs, if Parker is Elected. Columbia, S. C., July 25.?According o reports received from Washington, louth Carolinians will take a prominent art in the national campaign this year, specially in the West. There has been onsiderable interest in the announce- se uent because of the rumor that Governor sh leyward would be asked to stump some f the close states in the North and West in a the interest of the Democratic party at ,nd in the hope of winning the hundreds >f independent voters by his well known sp .bility. Governor Heyward, however, is , very busy man and ever since his re- in urn from St. Louis has not been in the est of health. Consequently it is not wi ,11 likely that he will be able to accept, in Jthough nothing would please him better han helping the party. T] Congressman Lever, who was used be- ga ore, will again travel through the North ,nd West, where the hottest fights will he ccur, and Senator Tillman, because'of ar is well known ability on certain topics, rill be used where he will do the most ;ood. His throat is not in the best conlition, but it has not been necessary to erform an operation on it again, and he rill be in demand nearly all the time. It is rumored, because of the promi: lent part taken in the Parker nomination f* >y South Carolinians, several of them ln rill receive nice Federal positions should he Esopus man be elected, and develop- S1 aents along that line will be watched rith' interest. m ti: A friiTs Fight with an Alligator, th A frail, slender girl, Miss Nelson one C: ine night early in April, 1903, sat quietly lo teside her mother. From the next room m rhere the two little children had been left (laying came a strange grating sound. w The older sister stepped to the door be- or ween the two apartments, only to turn ab <ale with dismay and horror, for there, ast asleep on (he hearth-rug, lay the litle brother and sister, and crawling slowly t0 cross the floor toward them a great, sti limy alligator, evidently attracted to the ha ouse by the hope of young kittens or v uppies, wriggled and writhed. Its ricked, stony eyes, grim with baleful stf ght, were fixed on the unconscious ve abies, and the wide jaws, open and pon- ge erous, dripped with the foam of eager, h nsatisfied greed. Frantically calling to le dogs outside the front door to enter nd help her, the brave girl caught up tole large lamp aijd stood just within the ] lother s room, and hurled it full at the orrible, gaping jaws.

He and Mrs. Crum were tting on the front piazza after supper st night, Mr. Crum lying in the ham ock. Mrs. Crum went inside and rered on account of it being too cool on e porch, and shortly afterwards Mr rum started in as well. He shut and ck'?d the front door and must have imediately fallen without a sound. His ife hearing his struggles to arise, came ' it and found him lying or. the floor untie to get up and speechless.

Last Friday evening was the occasion of the regular monthly meeting of Oman Lodge, No. 38, A. F. M., and as is usual when the Master's degree is conferred, a banquet was served. At this time there were four exceptionally bright candidates for the degree: Dr. B. D. Bronson, Prof. H. G. Sheridan, J. P. Matheny, Esq., and Mr. Geo. H. Smoak, and as the lodge had bqen accepting the hospitality of other lodges in this section, it was determined to invite our brethren to be with us on this occasion. Ample arrangements had been made for a large crowd, and many came. Both trains of Friday afternoon brought visitors from various points, and numbers drove through the country. The crowd numbered a little over one hundred, which was the largest ever seen in the Bamberg lodge room. The lodge was called to work by TV. M. Jno. R. Bellinger at eight o'clock and at about 10:30 the craft was called from labor to refreshment and repaired to Johnson's Hotel where an elegant supper was served, one such as Mr. Johnson knows so well how to prepare. No after-dinner speeches were made, and after the wants of the inner man had been fully satisfied Mini-no^ tn tlia rnnm and mc wunu > ? *"<- ,UU6V the work finished, the lodge adjourning about three o'clock. Many of the brethren returned home on the trains which arrived shortly after the lodge closed, and all seemed to have enjoyed the meeting. We are sure it was a pleasure for the Bamberg brethren to entertain them, and we hope to have them with us* again before very long.

Then, he is not too aggressive, is not always carrying a chip on his shoulder. Mr. LaFitte has a mouth and makes good use of it.

Send him to Columbia and he will stay there and look after our interests. He will be a safe, economical legislator, and will n t try to kill the goose that lays, the golden egg.

The meeting was called to order in the court house at eleven o'clock by County Chairman H. C. Folk. The audience numbered about three hundred, and a number of ladies were present.

SECOND REGIMENT ENCAMPMENT. A Member of the Bamberg Guards Writes of . Their Recent Trip to Columbia?Highly ^-|jl Pleased With Everything. The "boys" of the second South Caro? , .,-^8 lina Volunteer Infantry should, if they do not, feel grateful to those men who so wisely selected Ridgewood as a camp site for the recent encampment. 1 Just four miles westward of the city of \j?gg.: Columbia lies "Camp Columbia," the nearest approach to a perfect camp ground that the State troops have yet . been foitunate enough to occupy. An abundant supply of pure water, that very necessary article of man's existence, -Vatl might well be named as one of the points of superiority over all other camp grounds in this State that have been used in recent years, to say nothing of the high, dry location and the magnificent parade ground; ^ ? in close proximity to the camp proper. It seemed that every necessity whicll>| might prove of assistance to the "boys* J was carefully looked into and arrange&JB|s before their coming. Electric lights for' the company streets and officers' quarters was quite an improvement over the othtfJaMr| camps, and especially that at the Isle Palms last year. There was only ond|$3|| thing to even slightly mar the otherwi?S|||j||jj perfectly pleasant encampment, and tha^:^|| was the apparent lack of enthusiasm on-ffi|8|| the part of the visitors who daily thioiifq|Kii ed the edges of the parade ground to wif^|? ?0 nessthe daily parade. 'Ml Now, there might have been one more of several reasons for this appareri$lgft|| lack of enthusiasm. First, because of tlMfjl .|g| repetition by each regiment of the saisf^;^| features, aud second, because the dtiw?p?jH soldiery did not come up to the expectajlgimt standard of the visiting public. Howeve^ra||a we shall not let this little article resofaillJ itself into a kick, but we do think that greater display of appreciation woolrcS^ffij have encouraged the boys and urged theti&SJ3| to attain even better results.
