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."

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. C.,

Fire In Laurens.
Laukkns, June 13.?Special. At

confined in the comity jail

some forty yards distant was burning.
The ilames were coming from

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.

A Mother's Advice to her Son
"Now, John" said a mother to a
son "listen to your mother. Never
marry a young woman, John, before
you have contrived to peep in at the
house where she lives at least four or
five times, before breakfast. You
should know how lato she lies in bed
in the morning. You should take
notice whether her complexion is in
the morning as it is in the evening,

You must take oaro to surprise her,
so that you may see her in hor morn
ing dress, and observe-how her hair
looks when she is not expecting you.
If possible, you should bo where you
can hear the morning conversation
I between her and mother. If she is
j ill natured and snappish to her
mother so she will bo to you, depond
I on it. But if you find her up and
dressed neatly in the morning, with
the same countenance, the same
smiles, the same neatly combed hair,
1 the same ready and pleasant answer
to her mother, which characterize
her apparance and deportment in the
| evening, and particularly if she is
I lending a hand to get the breakfast
ready, she is a prize. John, and the
sooner you secure hor to yourself the
better. She may not play the piano;
that u nothing. If she can make

Supremo Court of the District
this morning dismissed, on two
grounds, Colonel Ainsworth's petition
for u mandamus ?o compel the

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.

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.

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

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,

better might they do with bettor

The culture of olives and the manufacture
of olive oil is becoming a
notable and profitable industry in
California. 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
