Thirty-seven drunks faced the recorder in the city of Augusta last Monday morning. This is a fearful redord for a prohibition town. We notice that several bright young newspaper men in different sections of the State are preparing to break mto the legislature. What a pity! The Dorchester Eagle came to us last week as a five-column eight page - paper, all home print. We congratulare our contemporary on its prosperity. The annual meeting of the South Carolina State Press Association is to \ be held in Gaffney the 15th, 16th, and V 17th of June, 'and we know old JJeCamp and the Parrott boys and all the people of Gaffney will take us to their bosoms and treat us royally all B; ' round. April 1st is here, and the rule of the postoffice department as to sendpt ing newspapers op credit is in effect. My, what a dwindling of subscription lists there'will be with some newspapers. They had better obey the law, |^v; too, as "Uncle Sam" is a dangerous fellow to monkey with. It does not ,affect this newspaper to any extent, pnd we gladly welcome the change. We are ready for the inspector whenever he calls, and our books are open to him. EDITORS IN POLITICS. For some-reason our copy of the Beaufort Gazette has not been reaching us recently, and therefore^ did not see the excellent article of our I,- friend Christensen in reference to newspaper men in politics until we saw it in the Abbeville Press and ;r Banner of last week. Tltowj om olnroxrc tmr\ cirloc tn Q JLUCi^ (U ^ Ul ?T MJ U V?? V wuv?vw WV M ' question, and Senator Christensen has made an able argument against y the position taken by us, yet he ad- i mits that there was a great deal of 1 t truth in our article, g Senator Christensen is one of the | | few newspaper men who have hot g been "ruined" by going into politics, ] and in his case it appears to us that ! his newspaper connection has rather ( been of benefit to him in his legisla- < tive and investigating duties. In the main, the position taken by this newspaper, i. e., that newspaper men should not go into politics, is correct, i * but there are exceptions in all mat- 1 <: ters, and Senator Christensen is a j iy' most notable exception. \ We might also mention our good 1 friend Col. E. H. Aull, of Newberry, as another instance of the added ser- j vice an editor can give to his State , by going into politics. Col. Aull has 1 been a member of the house for sev- < eral terms, and is one of the leaders 1 in the body. He is now a member of } the ways and means committee, and < one of its hardest-working, most val- s uable members. We believe that ? there is still further and higher publie service to which Aull and Christen- ] sen will be called by the people. But after all, the safest rule for editors to follow is to take the advice of Col. Jas. T. Bacon, of the Edgefield Chronicle. He says: "My son, shun politics as you would the devil." Getting Even. "No, I don't believe in expensive * nractical inkes." said a San Francisco ! business man, "except by way of retaliation." "Now last year I received a telegram from a friend who was traveling in Italy. It came collect and cost me seven dollars; and when I opened . it, all I read was, 'Thank you, I am well.' 1 "Then I sallied forth and sought me out a cobblestone?a nice, large cobblestone weighing about eleven pounds. And I wrapped it in ex- < celsior, pink cotton and white paper, i and I boxed it up in a handsome box; i and I sent it by express, collect, to c my facetious friend far across the 1 bounding billows. t "And when he had paid his little fifteen dollars, and had opened the '< box in St. Petersburg, if I remember i rightly, he found in addition to the j precious contents a note from me s that explained, 'This is the load that a rolled off my heart on receipt of the news of your good health.'

New York, March 27.?Two trips by a brave woman into a burning flat house in Borough Park last night resulted in the rescue of five children, who unconscious of their danger, were playing happily in a room as yet untouched by the flames. The rescuer was a stranger, Mrs. Lila Raymond, who was passing the house when the fire started, rang in an I alarm and then ran back to the house, i She hnrst in the front door and dash ed upstairs, finding Mrs. Joseph Lock, whom she led through the smoke to the street. Mrs. Lock then awoke to a realization that her three children were still in the building, which by this time was in a blaze. Mrs. Raymond ran back into the house up to the second story, carried out two of the little ones, an older boy following her, and then repeated the trip for two little playmates of the Lock children, who were with them when the fire broke out. The last two were half suffocated when she reached them, and the Hivwtc nf thp vrmncer was ablaze. Tearing it off Mrs. Raymond got both the children in her arms and made for the stairway again. This time it was entirely ablaze, but she dashed down and reached the street just as the stairway fell. Her face and hands were badly burned, but she refused medical attendance and went home. All this happened before the arrival of the firemen who had been delayed by the poor condition of the streets. The house was entirely destroyed. Paid Her Father's Shortage. Ten years ago Henry Barton, treasurer of Muncie, Indiana, went out of his office short in his accounts for a large sum. His bondsmen paid part of the shortage and he removed to Los Angeles, Cal., where He has since lived with his family. On Friday last the last dollar owed by Barton to the city was paid by his ! daughter Marguerite, who is a steno- i grapher in Los Angeles. She has been j making payments of $25 at a time on i the indebtness for years, and the re- ! oonf r?n UYirlnv ia in full nnrl I clears her father. j Muncie officiate were inclined long 1 ago to canctel the debt, but the young woman refused to consider the offer, saying she wanted to pay in full and thus free her father from the stain of embezzlement. Bad Economy. A southern gentjeman recently at a banquet in Washington related the " following story about a certain philanthropist he knows at home. He said: "My friend heard of a negro family fV?of txTQc r?oTVYrf<a*1 in Hmatifiitp mw?nm. stances, and, calling at their home, he found the report true. The family consisted of mother, a son about 15 years old and three young children. After hearing the mother's story, he gave the oldest son a bright silver dollar, saying: " 'Here, my lad, take this dollar and get a turkey for the Christmas dinner.' " "No sooner was he gone when the mother said in a stern voice to her son: " 'Heah, Jackson, you done gib me dat dollar, and go git dat turkey in denachral way.' "?Harper's Weekly. Horrible Crime in Georgia. Augusta, Ga., March 25?A Chronicle special from Granite Hill, Ga., says: "A posse of negroes is chasing Porter Cooper near here with the determination of lynching him for the brutal murder of his wife. > "Monday night Cooper dismembered the body, carried the parts into the woods and buried them, after 7?hich he burned the house to hide the evidence of his crime. After crushing the woman's skull he alnost severed the head from body vith a knife, chopped the body in two vith an axe just above the hips and jut the lower limbs apart. He put jeveral Dieces into a sack and buried the bundle in the woods some distance Tom the house. "Cooper made his escape, but it is eported tonight that a posse of negroes has formed and is searching he woods for him. Excitement is ligh among the negroes and they are ietermined to lynch him if he is captured." Gasoline Explosion. Tampa, Fla., March 26.?The exjlosion of gasoline at Eggmont Key, lpon which Fort De Soto is located, ate last night resulted in the destruction of three buildings at Pilot station, jrobably fatal burning of Mark tyan, a soldier, and serious burning )f Capt. Ira Washington, a pilot, rhe fire was checked before the 'ortification and officers' quarters vere endangered. i Take Your Choice. Have you ever almost run into some 1 >ne on the. street, and then dodged ' :rom side to side for half a minute, mainly endeavoring to pass, while the )ther person by some strange fatality blocked your every move by trying ;o pass you in the same way? i Such was the recent experience of i young man in Portland, Maine. He md a strange young woman had been ' joing through this performance for several seconds, when his unwilling ? ris-a-vis staggered him by saying: s "Well, hurry up! Which is it to be i ?a waltz or a two-step."?Woman's d dome Companion for April. S WHITE GIRL ARRESTED. Chicago Police Find Her Living With Chinaman in Squalid Room.

Greenwood, March 30.?Milledge Colt, a negro, was lodged in jail here yesterday, being sent up by Magistrate Lugon Brocks, charged with shooting Mr. J. Belton Hargrove, a white farmer, living on the Greenwood-Saluda line. From reports received here, it seems that Mr. Hargrove was looking for some negroes who had been in a fuss with some of his tenants. In the search, he came upon the Colt negro, whom he took to be one of those who had been in the difficulty. Colt had a single-barrel shotgun at the time, and Hargrove was carrying a Winchester rifle. Colt says Mr. Hargrove shot at him with the rifle, giving him a flesh wound in the side and was ready to shoot again when he, Colt, used the shotgun, hitting Mr. Hargrove full in the face with a charge of No. 6 shot, a short distance away. Hargrove was still living yesterday, but was in a very serious condition. It was reported here last night that there would be an attempt at lynching, and the sheriff prepared for any emergency, but there was probably no ground for the report. Drug. Store Dynamited.

The town has no saloons, and Mr. Urey, a druggist, has been importun- ed often to turn his store into a blind tiger, but refused. It is believed that the liquor sympathizers who wanted the blind tiger established destroyed the building out of spite. A Collard Course. y A North Georgia editor hands out the following regarding a "social function" pulled off in his town: "Mr. C. J. Clark entertained recently with a delightful 'collard course' with side entrees of pot-liquor and buttermilk. "Green was the leading color, each guests being presented with a hemstitched dishrag as a souvenir of the occasion." Candidates Called.
