The Charleston Evening Poet
has taken a hand in the discus
sion which has been going on
between the Johnston Monitor
and Darlington News relative
to the tariff and free silver
The Poet is inclined to believe
with Thi News, and adds that
the high tariff laws enacted bj
the republicans have had a
great deal to do with bringing
abont the free silver craze
which has been raging through
out the country.
The high tariff has undonbt
edly enabled a few men to be
eome enormously rich at the ex-
pease of the many, and the re
suits and combinations which
have cornered both the produce
and money markets to the de
triment at times of the masset
of the people. Then came along
unscrupulous politicians and
demagogues who told the peo
ple that they wanted more
fnoney and the way to get it
was by means of the free and
untimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. The people,
of course, took>up the idea, for
getting that it was not more
money but a more equal distri
bution of the money already in
circulation which was neces
sary.
Therefore, the editor of The
News is inclined to the opinion
that the Poet is right as to the
republicans having a great deal
to do with the bringing about
of the free silver heresy.
There is a merry war going on
between Commissiones Thomas
and Evans of the R. R. Com-
misioner. If we are to believe
what each says of the other,
the sooner the Legislature
elects others in their places the
better.
Mr. Evans has a reputation
for honesty to sustain, but
no one will sesiously contend
that Mr, Thornes has cause to
feel outraged at any charge
which may be brought against
him.
William J. Bryan is goin H to
open his lecturing tour in At
lanta, December 23. Columbia
is down as one of the cities in
which Mr. Bryan is to lecture,
and the people of South Caroli
na, who had no opportunity to
see or hear the great orator dur
ing the recent campaign, will
have a chance during the win
ter If they will go to Columbia.
Calhoun county has been de
feated, Orangeburg and Lex
.ington going against it, that is
tttsy did not give the two-thirds
majority. It is almost imposi
ble for a two-thirds majority to
be obtained on any question,
and, if we are to have new
counties in South Caroloina the
constitution, will have to be
amended.
It thought that Cherokee
county has been carried, with
Gaffney as the county seat.
With the rapid developement of
Spartanburg county and the
other sections forming the new
county, it is probable that there
was more necessity for Chero
kee county than there was for
Salem and Calhoun.

TREATMENT OF SPRAINS.

No two mssssnrs are alike by na

and the one who knows bis anatomy
and physiology well, when called to
A geoent acute sprain, will not begin
at,ones to massage the injured joint,
but' at a distance above it, on the
healthy tissues, by gentle stroking
or effleurage toward the heart, grad
ually prooeeding nearer and nearer
to the painful plaoe. This baa a
soothing effect and pushes the flow
along in tbs Tains and lymphatics,
making more space in them for the
returning currents coming from be
yond and carrying away the fluids
that have leaked cot of the vessels.
The same should be done on the part
of tho limb beyond the joint, for the
oiroulation is hindered both in going
oat and ooming in by reason of the
swelling.
Next the mass our wbo knows bis
business win begin again at a safe
distance above the injured joint and
use deep rubbing, kneading or mas
sage properly ao called, one band
contracting as the other relaxes, al
ternately making circular grasps,
with the greatest preastireupward,
and this should be dorfe on the parts
above and below the seat of sprain.
By this procedure the effects of the
previous stroking or effleurage are
much enhanced. An analgesic or
agreeably benumbing effect is pro
duced upon the nerves, which ex
tend to the painful plaoe, and the
retarded oiroulation is pushed along
more vigorously, making room in
the vessels for tbe swelling, the effu
sion, the dammed embargo, caused
by tbe landslide of blood and lymph
that is inundating the surrounding
territory with exudates farther up
thestream, to float off, and preparing
the way for the next step in treat
ment At the end of 15 or 20 min
utes of this manner of working gen
tle, firm pressure can be made im
mediately over the swollen and but
recently very tender parts, which in
a few seconds oan have circular mo
tion with the greatest push upward
added to it, and tbia, if sufficient
tact be used, will in all probability
not hurt, but be positively agreeable.

“He’s a ohump,” said tbe high
school boy scornfully.
“Just what is a ohump?” asked
tbe boy’s mother, who heard the re
mark.
‘‘Ob, I don’t know exactly. A fel
low who can’t play ball and is kid-
dish with the other fellows.”
“Kiddiah?” again interrogatively.
“Tea, too polite and lab de dab,
and all that sort of tbing.you know.”
Tbe mother did not know, hut she
waited,
“Now, laat night,” the high school
boy went on after a moment’s pause,
thinking perhaps that he had not
been very lucid, “he introduced me
to a fellow that’s visiting him, and
what do yon think he said? ‘Mister
Hendryx, this Is my friend. Mister
Bloaaon,’ aa if we ware dudes.”
“Whatwould have been the prop,
er, unkiddish way of putting it?"
waa hia mother’a next venture after
information.
“Oh, that waa proper enough, I
suppose, and wa all do it sometimea,
but moat any other fellow would
have said, ‘Say, Dick, this is Tom
Bloaeon, another ohump, just like
you, ’ or aomething like that ”
“Bat wouldn’t you have resented
being called a ohump? ”
“Not that way, don’t you aee?
Ton oan call a fellow a ohump to hit
face. ”
“Ob, yea, I do see. It’s behind his
back that it’s not permitted. ”
“Yea—that is, not always—oh, I
can’t explain It all out to you. But
if you were a fellow you’d under
stand.’’-New York Times.

SIXTY MILES AT A RUN.
A* Wluiag Ban* BaMhad the GoaJ la
VMur Boon aad Tweaty-aiffht Mlnutaa.
The longest horse race in history
took place at Deer Lodge, Mon., on
Nov. 17, 1870, a distance of SO milee’
continuous running, to test the stay
ing qualities of two looal horses
oalled Lizard and Billy Boy, and the
stakes were $1,000 a side. The first
riders selected were: For Billy Boy,
Nat Evans, 80 pounds; Bobby Gra
ham, 69; Eddy Evans, 75; for Liz
ard, Tommy Woods, 82 pounds, and
Ben Phillips, 84, the intention being
to change every 10 or 15 miles, as
the articles permitted the horses to
go as they pleased between start
and stop.
At 12:20 the judges mounted tbe
stand, oalled np the race, and pre
cisely at 12:30 by tbe judges’ time
tbe horses, on the second turn, were
off even on the race of 60 miles.
Both horses led off slowly, Billy go
ing at an easy lope, leading a length
to the quarter post, crossing tbe
stretch a length behind. Time, 4:18.
In the second mile Lizard waa
ahead. The fifth mile was made in
3:15, with Lizard half a mile in the
lead. At tbe end of the eighth mile
Billy was a third of a mile behind.
Fifteen miles were covered in 1
hour and 16 seconds, both horses
being down to steady work and
sweating freely. Lizard overtook
hia competitor on tbe sixteenth mile
and at the end of the eighteenth
mile was a mile ahead.
At tbe end of the twenty-first mile
Lizard bad gained one mild and one-
third. Tbe hones kept pretty well
together, Lizard still maintaining
his Bile lead. The time ranged
from 3:45 to 5:50, except on tbe
thirty-fourth mile, which was made
by Billy in 3:20 and the thirty-fifth
by Lizard in 3:15. In the forty-seo-
ond mile both hones trotted consid
erably, Lizard having the advantage,
as he compelled a lope from Billy.
Tbe baoken of Billy, who had been
offering large bets, let np a little,
but considerable money was still
offered and taken. Billy was over
a length ahead, but it was evident
tbe attempt to get away from Liz
ard and make good the lost mile
was useless, as Billy was going
heavy and Lizard was as bright and
springy on his feet as in tbe first
mile.
In tbe forty-eighth mile Billy
showed punishment and wanted to
quit. Both bones walked past the
judges’ stand. Tbe 50 miles were
ran in 8 hours and 35^ minutes.
Billy made a spurt on the fifty-first
mile and wanted to quit at the out-
oome, when he was bled. Lizard
kept on trotting at a good gait and
came in in 7:10. In the fifty-third
•nd up to the sixtieth mile Lizard
bod it all his own way. Colonel
Thornton, the owner of Billy Boy,
was willing to give up tbe race, but
that there should be perfect satis
faction sent out bis bone, which
made tbe fifty-fourth mile, but on
tbe fifty-fifth mile showed such evi
dent signs of exhaustion, having re
fused all entreaties of the whip and
voice to open a trot, that he was led
from the track while Lizard was on
the fifty-ninth mile.
The game little horse kept up bis
gait, and be made bis sixtieth mile
under 8 minutes, and 60 miles in 4
boun and 28 minutes, amid the
rousing shouts of the 400 or 500 peo
ple wbo remained to see the raoe
ouL He looked good for tbe rest of
a hundred, and apparently did not
appreciate the blankets and ribbons
with which he was in an instnLt
covered as much as he would another
dash around the course. Lizard
made the last seven milee in 32%
minutes, miles not noted. Lizard’s
average time for a mile was 4:38.—

began (me of hia extravagant leading
articles In this fashion: “Tomorrow

Louis Philippe. ’’
The editor’s penmanship was not
by any means the easiest to de
cipher, so when the proof was hand
ed to him it read, “Tomorrow is the
anniversary of the death of Sam
Phillips.”
Extremely indignant at what be
deemed a wanton insult, he wrath-
fully wrote on the margin of the
proof, “Who the dickens is this
Sam Phillips?”
Having reproved the printer in
scathing fashion, he went home, but
at breakfast in the morning, when
he turned with pride to his article,
wbioh be considered better than usu
al, he sprang up in a towering rage
on finding it begun thus: “Tomor

of Sam Phillips. Who the diokene
