We can't understand why the
legislature should want to waste
$13,500 of the money of the tax
payers for plans for improvement of
the state house when they know there
is no probability of the money for
these improvements being raised.
Few members of the general assembly
would have the nerve to vote for
such an appropriation.
WANT DISPENSARY BACK. * .
There is no disputing the fact that
numbers of our leading citizens and
tax payers, men who do not touch
whiskey themselves, want to see the
dispensary system voted back into
this couniy. It is openly stated that
liquor is being sold in Bamberg and
has been for a long time. We have
recently heard that there are a num-1
her of places on Main street where
whisky can be bought, and some
mighty good citizens are becoming
mighty tired of the situation?having
all the evils and losing the revenue
from the sale of whiskey. Numbers
of good people say there is more
drunkenness in Bamberg now than
there was in dispensary days and that
the evil is growing. The money is
going* to the express company and to
the liquor dealers in Augusta and
Jacksonville. It is said that lots of-liquor
is being sold in the country,
too, there being a blind tiger on
nearly every plantation around town.
The situation seems to be getting
' serious, and we look for something
to happen pretty soon.
State Treasurer to Reply.
Columbia, Feb. 2.?Robert H. Jennings,
State treasurer of South Carolina,
will be given a hearing by the
general assembly of his State in regard
to the charges advanced "by
Gov. Blease as -to the State loan on
$5,000 last summer. The house this
morning adopted the senate concurrent
resolution allowing the State
treasurer to make a written communication
to the general assembly giving
his side of the case.
Mr. Jennings, who lost his left
arm in the service of the Confederacy
and has served his State as treasurer
for the last eight years, resents
the insinuation of the governor in
a message to the general assembly
aSout the State loan. The resolution
which has passed both houses allows
him to print his side of the case in
the journals.
The statement of the State treasurer
will probably be sent to the general
assembly to-day.
There was a strenuous opposition
to the adoption of the resolution on
the part of the governor's friends in
the house on the grounds that it accused
the governor of telling a falsehood,
but the house refused to reconsider
its action on adopting the resolution.
several aays agv cue guvauui, ***
a message to the general assembly,
challenged a statement by Mr. Jennings
as to the loan. The real facts
in connection with the incident will
now be related.
The resolution authorizes the
%
statement of the State treasurer to
be printed in the journals.
The Light, a negro newspaper edited
and published in Columbia by
negroes, says: "We are glad to note
that Gov. Blease agrees with our position
as to the tax fertilizer money,
that part of it should go to the negro
schools, since negroes use the greater
part of the fertilizer." So Gov.
Blease wants to let the negroes have
part of the Clemson fund. This will
be news to many of his friends.?

HOW LOUIS NAPOLEOX ESCAPED.
In the Disguise of a Workman He
Passed the Guard.
In discussing the origin of Louis
Napoleon's nickname of "Badinguet"
some details were given incidentally
of his escape from the fortress of
Ham, in northern France, on May 25,
1846. Fuller details are now available,
thanks to the researches of M.
Thirria, and in view of the escape of
Captain Lux they have a special interest
at the present moment.
It seems that the sole credit for
the escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet,
Thelin, buy a black wig, some rouge,
a cap which was scrubbed with pumice
stone and a pair of sabots. Then
v?ck Ant r\ff hie rrmctnphp nnt nn a blue
apron, a blue pair of trousers and a
close fitting shirt of coarso stuff.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part of the fortress
where the prince lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, so much
so that the two watchmen entertained
no suspicions regarding the man
who walked past them and out at the
great gate, a pipe in his mouth and a
plank on his shoulder. The sergeant
on duty at the drawbridge was reading
a letter as he passed and took no
notice of him. It was then 5 o'clock
in the morning.
Four times that day, the last time
at 5 in the afternoon, did the governor,
Demarle, send for the prince.
Each time Dr. Conneau replied that
the prisoner could not see anybody
because he had taken medicine. When
at last the governor lost patience and
went himself to the prince's room
and walked up to the bed on which
the supposed invalid was lying he
discovered that a very presentable
dummy had taken the place of Louis
Napoleon. The discovery was made
too late. By that time the fugitive
was over the Belgian frontier.?From

"THE WAGES OF SIN."
Sad Idealization, iiut too ljate, 01
Victim of Suicide Pact.
New York, Feb. 5.?Death, which
brought to a sordid end the romance
of Louise Lawrence Suydam, the millionaire's
wife, and Fred Noble, the
plumber's son, flung back its chapters
of mystery to-day, leaving a
chapter in which friends of the woman
profess to read another lesson
in morals. The lesson was drawn
from a declaration made by Mrs.
Suydam-Noble to a friend a few days
ago.
"My friend," so Mrs. Suydam-Noble
is quoted, "you and I and Fred
may laugh sometimes at old things
like law and moral codes and religion
when They say 'thou shalt not.' We
may think that phrase was written
for the weak spirited and for fogies.
Law and moral code", and religion
are right. What they say we cannot
do without suffering. I have learned
that. I have learned my lesson. I
know the wages of sin is death?and
in many cases those wages demand
more than death?hell -on earth."
That the young couple?the millionaire's
wife and the plumber's
son?learned their moral lesson and
entered into the suicide pact a few
/jovo after thpir romantic marriage,
is the general belief expressed today.
Close friends of Mrs. SuydamNoble
claim she was never happy
with her new husband and that young
Noble wearied of it and surrendered
to discouragement.
Yesterday they were found in their
comparatively humble apartment in
West 12th 9treet, lying in front of a
gas range, dead from asphyxiation.
They had left no farewell note. Mrs.
Suydam knew, so her friends believe,
that no final message was necessary.
The romance?the beginning of
which was never really known?first
came to notice five months ago, when
Mrs. Suydam fled from her husband's
palatial home, in Blue Point, L. I.,
with young Noble. There followed
a chapter of tearful entreaties from
the husband that his wife return. She
ignored him, declaring she had found
happiness in the humble apartment
of a workman. Next came divorce
proceedings, and when she had been
freed by the millionaire's legal initiative,
Mrs. Suydam was wedded to
the plumber.
EViPnds sav Mrs. Suydam never |
loved the youth she took for a second !
husband, while Noble felt her car-1
dinal affection remained for Suy-1
dam. It is believed the suicide pact
was entered into a few days after
the marriage.
WEhile Suydam secured a divorce,
it is claimed he did not abandon hope
that there might be a reconciliation.
He was among the first to reach the
Noble opartment yesterday after the
bodies were found.

LIFE AMONG ROME'S POOR.
Great Crowding, Bad Hygienic Conditions
and Scarcity of Food.
The problem of life among the
poor of Rome has been illustrated by
Prof. Domencio Orano, who recently
wrote a book dealing with the miserable
condition of the inhabitants of
the Testaccio quarter, which is the
most densely populated district of
Rome.
Out of the 10,000 inhabitants of
this quarter, scattered in eighty-two
tenement houses, there are 723 families
who cannot afford to rent apartments,
but are forced to sublet
enough space in rooms where they
can sleep. There are 513 single
room apartments in the quarter and
109 rooms are occupied by five persons
each, seventy-six by six, twentyfive
by eight, while the rest afford
shelter to from ten to fifteen people.
The rent for sleeping space in each
room varies from $1 to $5 a month.
The hygienic conditions of the tenement
houses in Testaccio are very
bad. As a rule the poor people of
Rome live on vegetable soup with
paste and bread as they cannot afford
to eat either meat or fish, but in order
to make up for their scanty diet
they drink wine freely. There are
thirty-eight wine shops in the quarter
against only three shops where
milk is sold, and the average daily
consumDtion of wine is over 3,170
gallons for 10,000 people, including
women and children. There are many
men who drink habitually from six
to seven quarts of wine every day.
Morality is at a low state, mainly
owing to the fact that entire families
composed of young men and women
as well as children sleep in one room
without any partitions between the
beds, and very often instead of beds
sacking and mattresses are placed on
the floor, which is thus converted inton
one bed for six, ten or even fifteen
persons, who sleep side by side
Prof, Orano ascertained that fully
two-thirds of the /wages earned by
the poor inhabitants of Testaccio are
spent in food and drink, while the
remaining third serves for house rent
and clothes.

good way to build up a rundown
farm is to put it into

But the difficulty all over the South
is that too much human labor is
used and too little horse-power and
improved implements. A man with
a riding cultivator and two mules
will do more work in the corn field
and do it better than three men each
with a one-horse plow. By liberal
applications of acid phosphate and
potash you can grow the peas, and
the roots and stubble will help the
land to some extent, and you can put
the land in grass and use fertilizers
heavily annually and keep up a good
crop of hay if you give an occasional
liming.?Progressive Farmer.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.?Mrs. Frederick
Carr, of Germantown, is the
first "bona fide leap year bride of the
East. Not only did she propose, but
she insisted on paying the car fare
to Wilmington, where they were
married, purchased the ring and supplied
the Rev. George L. Wolf with
his fee.
Mrs. Carr was Miss Margaret E.
Molenkopf. On Tuesday night last
Frederick Carr called.
"Fred," said she, according to her
own acknowledgment, "I am tired of
living alone; let's go and get married."
The bride explained that she knew
"Fred loved her, so she wasn't a bit
afraid of a refusal."
Fred lived up to her expectations
and they were married.
The bridegroom says he "never
could have gotten up the nerve to
ask her."
Reflections of a Bachelor.
( Politics costs those in it more
self-respect than money.
The man who doesn't work just
for money mighty seldom does any
work.
What a girl means when she says
no depends on the man to whom she
says itw
What a woman likes in a man she
is never able to discover in him after
they are married.
When one woman speaks of another's
clothes as rags it's a sign they
claim to be good friends.
A bad temper gets a heap of things
to pacify it that a good temper keeps
on praying for in vain.
Anybody who had a million dollars
could pretend it was twenty-five
cents when his poor relatives were
around.
A girl never really has to wait for
leap year to ask a man, because any
year she knows how to ask him to
ask her.
