In the fir1st piatce, Mr'. Cooper is the friendl 01' (nettny or nto jpoliticalI clIque 0or fatc 'Lion, heing a man with big enough A vIiin to stee all sides of a quetstiont and yield~ to those( whio differi wLith im 'the right to (heir own oiionbi. In the -next place, he 11s a selrmade muan, h~av 'ing risen to hiis pr'esen t prlointence lit eralIly fromii the plowi and is ther'e fore essettial ly andi maore than any n1 of thie people. inthei( tirid placite, an ao most imtportat or atll, Mr'. Cooper is ti sensilie of the great r'esponsiility tI resting in the hand of the chief execu *tiv( andi has the abhility and the cour-L w age of conviction to discharge this y, responsibility for the good of the BI state, r'egardtless of personal hI- n terest. And again, the views of Mr. a] Cooper on all public qutestions are soundl, though not infallible. H-is h -personal chairacter' is above re- ri (proach, his public record is spotless and his friendships are numerous and u Ibinding. With sutch a foundation to 1I build his campaign upon, it is no won- P der that he has made siuch progress as to command the Attention of ob Servers who see ii him the real man of the hour. It must not be thought, howrever, A:- 1t Mr. Cooner in a straddle or cv- it a compromiser, for lie Is neithor. is Just broad-minded. While he cogiizes that there are two fac its in the state, lie is broad enough see that there are good people Ili th tnd liberal enough to reason th theit rather than criticize them. vould co-ordinate the good ele nmts of every clique and faction, lead 3 people out of the mire of faction sm and present a solid front for od government and material ad ncement. Mir. Cooper is a student affairs and knows the needs of uth Carolina as few others do. With liseerning eye, strengthened by pn liar service, lie has seen that the eatest need of the state is lw en rmenleit and his plea for this Is 'iking a responsive chord in the easts of the truest citizens. After v enforcelmlent, Mt. Cooper Is agi ed the dissemination of agricul ialI knovledge through tite medillu county p grielritival farm1tis direct'd )tm Cleison college.

Scanlon was in the show business, he invaded Washington on one occasion with a brand new comic opera. In order to give the piece a fine send-off, lie formulated the plan of sending free tickets for boxes t( the president, the cabinet Xnembora and other men high in social life. "That won't do," one of his news paper friends told him. "Too com men. Do something picturesque. Why don't you go after Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister? If you get him, he will bring down a lot of other diplomatic people." Scanlon fell for the proposition, and called at the Chinese legation. What sort of a show is this?" asked Wu. "It's a comic opera," repiied Scan on. "Any good jokes in it?" Scanlon said it was full of good jokes. "Tell me some of them," command ed Wu., Scanlon did so, and Wu.got such o series of laughs out of thei that hi sent for his whole establishment, nuni bering 32 people, and made the em barrassed Scanlon tell them all over again. "Now," continued Wu, "are therc any good songs in this show?" "The show had so ninny good songs," declared.Scanlon, "that we had to throw some of then away." "All right," said Wu. "Sing mo somc of the best." "I sang them," said Scanlon, telling the story afterward. "isut thai, wasn't so remarkable. I had to sing 'em There were |12 Chinamen to make im Fing 'em. The amazing part of the thing was that. all 32 of them came tc see the show that night."-Populai Magazine. NATURE LAVISH IN HER GIFTS Scientific Experiments Have Showr How Prolific in Plant Life Six Ounces of Mud Can Be. Gardeners and o( ther botanical ex perts may lie to know of the two fol owinug exerinents whicht illustrat very graplically the lavirh way thal nature goes about her work. One. year, in the monith of Fehruary 1Darwin remaoved fromt three different pa:trts of a -mall pond three table ispoonfuls of raud. weighing in all si ..11d threv(alorern oilnces.

Blind Watchmakers. l nd people-those who have beet -born blind-are, as is welt known, ex ceedingly clever with their fIngers, bu It is not often that we hear of a watch maker who was born blind. And ye there .have becen instances of the kind A famuous blind watchmaker lives at I lol beach, in Linmcolnshir'e, England Ills natme was Rlippin, and, althougl completely blind, ho could take ti ptieces artd putt togethier again watche: Iof most delicate construcetion with the greatest case. and in nouicker tim * than most watchtmakers who have th advantage of goodl eyesightt. On oni occasion sonie of the titty wheels an< screws used in his trade were stole1 front him, but the thuief was captures with the property on his person, and - Rlippin identifled them by htis delicati -sense of touch. A flarnstaple watch and clockmake brought up his blind son to his ttrade and the young man proved so skillfu that on more than oneo occasion ho d( tooted faults in timepieces which oth er tradesmen had failed to discover. Read to Typesettir*. Reading aloud was onco an occupa tion In London-atnd among the mos unlikely petrsons you can imnagino compIositors, says the London Chron Iicle. There may possibly be mem bners of this "chapel" wuho can recol loot the time when one of their :nm her was told off to road the newspa per or the latest book while their bus; lIngers sot up the typo. T1his is prob f' ably the best instance of the abilit: to do two things at once, for the read .ing of manuscri'pt and composing an< - listening to and comprehending spc - ken words are both of them intelle( tual tasks, while cigarmaking, such al in Cuba, is purely mechanical, leavini the mind completely free to follow the -reader. Manners. A young woman, her arms filles t with packages, slowly entered a car followed closely by a gruff-iookin man who, in his rush to get the oni; 'vacant seqt, trod on the young wom an's dress, and nearly toppled hel eoer. He received a cold stare, bu It brought forth only a grunt. Flop ping into the seat and leaving thb ,, heavly burdened woman standing ,the man growled: s 'eWhy don't yo.u hold ..p yer skr..? Worse to Come. The regular trombone player of a Scottish orchestra was laid up with a cold, and the conductor reluctantly ac cepted the services of a brass band amateur. He was a little doubtful, however, as to the suitability of his substitute. After the first performance the Aiew player asked the conductor how he bad done. The conductor replied that he had done pretty fairly, but that perhaps he would do better next night. The newcomer, eyeing him grateful ly, answered: "Man, ye see, the music is a' strange tao me-the nicht, and I'm no' Jest shair o't yet, but you wait tao the morn's nicht, an' ye'll no hear ane o' thae fiddles at a'." Prefer to Talk to Someone Else. "'Round again, eh?" genially sa luted Old Dad Bing, the well known Oklahoma cattle baron, when a report er for the Star unearthed him seated at his ease in a deep chair before a wide window in his favorite hotel. "Well, say! now, that there placard in the street cars, warning passengers that it is dangerous to talk to the mo torman; Mebbe it is, although I hain't seen one of ,'em yet that looked per tickerly troublesome that-a-way, but what I want to know is, why in the howlin' heck anybody should want to talk to a motorman?" 31r'. ,lhnson's Itinerary.
