Colunihiii, Juno 11.?There is such ii tiling us having too much pie. It is just about us bail to imagine that you have it. This is just about the condition of affairs with what is known us the Reform factiiPJl ? South .Carolina politics. There is lots of pio lying around in the shape of public office and it would appear that" every "Reformer" imagines that by all tho laws of political etiquette it is time that it piece shouAJ be served in his direc tion. There are a great many who now think that they have been working long enough to deserve some kind of recognition; by that is meant it slice of office pie. For some time past it has been common talk that tho powers that b'ij ?Irby, Tillman & Co?were put tt./g their heads together ami beginning to select the State ticket that will represent the "Reform" move inetit in the coming campaign. There is, as migtu no expectou, considerable trouble in getting up n good slate so as to take geographical location and service into consideration. To day I hud a talk with one of the "select" and he told me that as lie understood it a few places had already been agreed upon. So far as he could remember they were: For Governor, John Gary hi vans, of Aiken. For Attorney General, T. .1. Kirk land, of Kershaw.* For Superintendent of Education M. F. Tigho of Charleston. For Secretary of State, J. E. Wan namaker or E. R. Walter, of Orangeburg* This schedule would leave vacancies for the positions of Comptroller General, Adjudant General and r Lieutenant Governor. The Pee ; Deo section and the Chester, York and Fairfield country would be looked to for the candidates to fill 1 the other berths. There is no certainty about the coiulidatcs named, and the positions maybe interchanged. The proposed schedule was given me by the Reformer as being bona fide. There is, however, no disposition to swallow tlio Irby patent plum product. Secretary of State Tindal is, 1 believe, in the race to the oiui and be is not going to be side-tracked by any interest. If he's defeated within the Reform ranks then that will settle it, and not until then. It ought to be. remembered that W. Jasper Talbert, Geo. W. Shell, Geo. 1). Tillman, Dr. W. T. C. Bates and n number of others are all possible winners for the "Reform" Qubernational nomnation. After hearing about the partial slato several of the sachems in the camp were seen. They said that they had heard of such a slate, but that there had been nothing done; about it. One of them said in the most positive manner; "1 am quite confident that no attempt has been ! made to arrange a slate. If one is made up you can be suro that it will he smashed. The Reform party will not bo dictated to any longer, and justas certain as anyone is on a prearranged schedule, just that much les^ihance hps ho got of securing a iiomination. The selections will be made by a convention or not at all. "Another thing I'll predict. Whoever gets the nomination will bo a simon-pure momber of the Reform faction. There will be no compro- j mise or compromise candidates. This is going to he a fight of men with "backbone." From now on things in the Reform camp promise to be quite lively. Everbody is not quite as happy as a year ago. There are rumblings of considerable disaffection, and 'on the quiet' this or that leader is getting a protty severe scolding. This does not look t?*?^ell." How To Shin T.iminv. The Columbia journal. The State Board of Control has issued a set of rules governing the transportation of liquor in this State that will not only prove interesting to the dealers, but individuals us well, as both are concerned in the rules. The rules in full are as follows; "The following regulations will govern public carriers in handling liquor of all kinds, whether alcoholic, fomented or vinous, when offered fOr shipment into this State, or from point to point in the State, and are baseu on our construction of the act of the General Assembly, approved I December 24,1802, known as the Dispensary law: "Rule 1. No liquors of the qbovo description can be legally brought into the State by a public carrier, , unless shipped to D. H. Traxler, State Commissioner, Columbia, S.

Fire In Laurens. Laukkns, June 13.?Special. At 2 o'clock Monday morning the prisoners confined in the comity jail discovered that Mrs Nelson's kitchen some forty yards distant was burning. The ilames were coming from the roof. The alarm was given, but before assistance could be obtained the main body of the two-story frame residence had caught and nothing could be done to sa\'e it from a total loss. A one-story cottage in the yard was also burned. The firemen by good work protected the adjacent property. The origin of the fire wflh in nil nrrkVmhilifw ?? ... r.

A portion of the contents of the house was saved, buf Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Taylor, boarders, who lived on the second floor, lost every thinrr they had. Mrs. Nelson's furniture was insured in the Carolina Homo Insurance Company for *500. The house was insured in the North liritish and Mercantile for *1.500 and the cottage in the same company for $150. The loss on the build-j ings is estimated at about $1,800.

('olumbiu Jonuruul. Washington, D. C., .!line IT The Supremo Court of the District this morning dismissed, on two grounds, Colonel Ainsworth's petition for u mandamus ?o compel the denufv coroner to allow him to he re A mf presented at tlve inquest on the vie. tims of the Ford's Theater disaster: 1st. Holding that the deputy coroner is not a legal officer. The invalidates the inquest as far as held. 2d. That the right.of a person to bo present at an inquest in person or by counsel is discretionary with the Coroner, and, therefore, not a subject for mandamus. In defcronoo to the decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia that there is no such oflicer of the District of Columbia as a deputy coroner, Dr. Sehaefer, who had been conducting the inquest at NVillard Hall, in that supposed capacity, immediately adjourned the j proceedings until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. A curious point now develops that there is no body that has been viewed by a legally constituted coroner's jury. Unless one of the injured victims still lingering should die, it may be necessary to exhume a body. Chief .Justice Bingham, in his decision, said that an examination of the law only established what he had never doubted?that a coroner, in holding an inquest, sat as a court, and was vested with the power and authority of a judicial oflicer. It was well proven that in the absence of an express statutory provision such an official could not de'egate his authority to another. In the course of his opinion he took occasion to lecture tho excited clerks who thronged the court room on the necessity of maintaining decorum, lie told them the coroner's court was not to bo considered as a town meeting; however deplorable the circumstances. It was tho duty of all good citizens to pay respect to the law. Whatever findings of tho coronor's court might be they were not final and any wrong done could be righted by proper legal means hereafter. He admonished them to let further proceedings he conducted in a quiet, orderly way by the coroner himself and to repress their feelings. Columbian letter. i K"gular ('orrcspnndcnt.) As Chicago opens wide her portals to welcome one of royal blood?* tho Princess Eulalia?so she bids bou i'oi/a</e to the Duke de Voragua, the direct descendant of Columbus, who has gone in and out among us, since tho opening day. Fcr home to sunny Spain. It i doubtful whether the royal princess was ever more handsomely entertained and feted, than she has been and will be during her stay among us. She has been given the "freedom of city" and all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, and as if that were not enough, a pass engraving on a solid plate of 18 carat gold, has been presented to her, which entitles herself and suite to free entrance at all times to the Word's Columbian Exposition. Whether her eyos will see more, under such conditions, than we poor mortals of commoner clay, who are thankful for the bit of printed paper that admits us to the same scenes, is a question. Appropriately hemmed in between the woman's building and horticultural ball, is the one devoted entirely to the use and comfort of the little ones. It mjy sound strange to many mothers, to hear that their babies can bo "checked" like r* gage, and taken core of and amused by competent nurses, and yet for a siriall sum, these mischievous, fun.oveing children are tenderly watched over and looked after while mother is sight seeing.

Science And FarmingIt is the fashion of some ignorant f people to sneer at what they arc 3 pleased to call "scientific farming." 1 They are too stupid to understand 0 that the most intimate connection 1 3 exists at present between science and t every human industry, including farming, and that without the help which science has and is constantly ii givmg, wo would soon relapse into , the somi-civilized condition of pasl y ages. 4 Science, the investigations and in o ventionaof scientific men, have boot; o of incalculable benefit to the farmer and have elevated agriculture intc one of the must wonderfully attrac n tivo vocations of mankind, as it cerh tainly is the most useful and impor o tant one. Compare agriculture of fifty yean ago with agriculture to-day, am contemplate the astonishing contras in farm machinery, in labor-saving ttk ?'. fY* ?" NO. 10. appliances, in the knowledge of soils, in drainage, in the improvement of crops, in all things that practically testify to the progress and development of tho human race, and wo must acknowledge tht this wonderful contrast between the present and the past, especially of the past half century, is due to soionce applied to agriculture. Tho man who nowadays sncors at what ho calls "scientific farming.' and who holds in contempt tho pro gross and improvement going 011 in agriculture, as it is going on in all departments of human industry and enterprise, that man is a fool, and deserves the contempt, tempered with pity, of intelligent people. lust to mention one proof of tho thousands known to all men, of how science is daily helping the farmer, we noto the statement of Prof. CJias. S. Plumb, in tho Popular Scicnco Monthly, for May, in referenco to tho inspection or fertilizers. There is not now a State in the Union where fertilizers are used that has not on its statute books a law the scientific inspection of fertilizers to be used in tho State, and to protect its fanners against spurious and shoddy stuff. Dishonest manufacturers are constantly striving to cheat farmers with fraudulent ferti li/.ers, and to evade the law. Hut they are invariably exposed, sooner or later, and their false wares are cast out. Prof. Plumb mentions a case, which occurred a short time ago, when two fertilizers wero suddenly placed upon the Indiana market and sold for $27.50 and $22.50 per ton, respectively. These wore analyzed by the State chemist, and the former was found to have a value of $5.70 and the latter of $4.44 per ton. These wero out-and-out swindles; yet, had it not been for a prompt publication from the State Kxperiment Station at Purdue University, as to their real character, many farmers of the State of Indiana would have been unmercifully swindled. In view of the fact that million's of dollars' worth fertilizers are sold yearly iu the United States, ono can readily understand how great is the sum of money that is being yearly saved to the farmers of the country through the interposition of the chemist. - ??mm - ? The majority of farmers work hard and accomplish about all that they think it is possible to do, says the Agricultural Kpitomist, but many of them could learn a profitable lesson by visiting some first class manufacturing establishment and observe the clock liko regularity with which the business is conducted ?everyone on time, no waste of DMllltl-m I nvni>ir <>t<??v/i I1M) W1U1 Y I.UM or method of work taken advantage of at once. There are no little leaks, waste or power, etc. lix'en every foot of floor is utilized. Now, how many farmers even attempt to apply suck business principles to their work? But they are also manufacturers. Many of them are going on in just the same way that their grandfathers did?raising the same crops, in the samo way, keeping about the same stock, and feeding it in the same manner, and they are putting up with the same little leaks ?waste of manure, waste of feed, waste of labor in land not properly fitted for cropping, and yet they makothe farm pay, but how much better might they do with bettor methods? t Hood's Cures.

The time will soon come when this country will ho independent of imported olives and olive oil, California being fuly able to supply the domestic article. In 1890 this country imported 893,' 981 gallons of alleged olive oil. In 1891 California produced 11,420 gal, Ions of pure olive oil; the annual out put of Italian oil is valued at 120,000,000 dollars, which is more than the i ?i -i ?- i ' ' vaiuo <>r an mo wneat exports or me ( United States for 1801. t California has proved horself equal, > if not superior to Italy, as an olive. growing region, and we believe that Florida would also find this industry . a profitable one. 3 IT IS NOT what \vc say but what I Hood'* Sarsaparil la docs that tells the t story of its merit.
