Maclyn Arbuckle, the actor, was invited to a dinner to meet a few members of congress the last time he played in Washington, says the Sunday Magazine. He told this story: "I am from Bowie county, Texas, and my presence here to-night is peculiarly appropriate because I, too, once ran for office, one of the highest and most distinguished offices in the gift of the people, that of justice of the peace. Toward the end of my campaign 1 made my greatest speech. Standing on a goods box in a crossroads store. I told my constituents all j about Marcus" Aurelius and Plutarch. I I dwelt on the importance of secur-1 ing justice for all. 1 raved. I roared. Demosthenes would have envied me. "Then my opponent rose and said, Voters, you know 1 owli a big grocery store a few miles up the road. 1 am about to open a new and long line of credit. If I am elected, I shall, be glad to see you all at my store." " * Arbuckle paused and surveyed his political hearers sadly. "Gentlemen," he concluded mournfully, "that 'line' made me go on the stage for a living."?Exchange. I r. 1 y ' j - v Com nt Ru % ?f Bamberg.

GOVERNOR. Mayor Gibbes Refused to Recognize Executive Clemency. By refusing to release Bratton Pettigrew, a young white man last Wednesday, Mayor Gibbes, of Columbia, raised the question of the right of the governor of South Carolina to. extend clemency to prisoners convicted in the city recorder's court. Bratton Pettigrew was convicted be~D annrHap Uomor on Mnnrtav I V/A C IWV/Ui UV1 T V?A UVA v** morning on'the charge of drunkenness and was sentenced to pay a fine of $15 or serve 30 days on the city chaingang. Wednesday the governor paroled Pettigrew on the condition that he refrain from the use of whiskey for'one year and that he serve out his sentence' if convicted during the year on the charge of drunkenness. "I was not consulted," said Mayor Gibbes, "as to the status of the case by the governor. Pettigrew has been a persistent offender, and mercy has been granted to him many times. He was examined by the city physician, and no -trace of tuberculosis was found. I do not believe that the governor has the power to grant a parole in the case." The governor has granted clemency in 256 cases since assuming the office. Piano Contest.

Take these two, for instance: "Pilgrim's Rest," and "Solid Rock." The first has in ! it no hint oi' work. The name sug-j gests rest and quiet, and even slum-i ber. To repeat it almost makes one j nod. It is so reposeful, so apart' from any suggestion of toil or battle, j If all churches were fittingly named, j there would be, perhaps, several Pil-i grim Rests. - And "Solid Rock"?just j what dope thie ene-e-pet9 Te it. not ft ; challenge to the gates of hades to rise up and do their best?
