The first crops of rice and indigo

yield the first year was one hundred
fif.y pounds, but this experi
ment does not give promise of
such phenomenal success.
President McKinley is said to
have helped out a young friend
who was courting a girl he knew
by telling him to tell the young
lady that if she would like a European
bridaltrip hewould appoint
fthe young man to a consulate as
a wedding present. This fixed the
business, for the President has
been notified that the wedding will
take place in June. This is a clear
case of bribery, but everything is
fair in love and war.

Hon. John R. McLean is an
avowed candidate for Senatorial
honors from Ohio. lie wants the
position now held by Senator;
i - - \ I
| Hanna. 3Ir. McLean nas many
elements ol* strength, which his
competitors will do well to respect.
His life is without a blemish; his
constant adherence to the equal
coinage of gold and silver; and his
tirm advocacy of greenback money
to supplant all banking cur-1
reney makes him exceedingly ac-1
ccptable to the Populists. Mr.
McLean is a man of great wealth,
and only seeks the office as an
honorable recognition. Should
the hard times continue until after
the fall election, Mr. McLean's
chances for carrying Ohio are more
than even.

The following was cuppea irom
lhe Columbia Register of last Fri.
day, and unless the governor interferes
today, Myers will hang
toniwrrow:
Frank Myers, colored, who
was to hang in Georgetown to-dayhas
another week of life, at least.
The Governor yesterday granted
him a respite until next Fri 'ay.
Perhap9 the special reason for .the
respite is one that has never occurred
before. To-day is Good
Friday, and, as is the custom with
all devout people of the Episcopal
Church in Georgetown and elsewhere,
they attend services in the
church to-day. The church happens
to be next to the jail, and if
the execution was to take place
to-day at the appointed lime the
crowds of negroes and those morbidly
curious would interfere with
the services. Mayor Morgan
.1 --j? .L.
wrote mat unuer ine uircuuisiaucfs
he thought it would be best
to postpone the execution,as he
felt certain that a large crowd of
negroes would be present and it
would take an extra force of constables
to preserve order. Under
these circumstances the Governor
readily issued the order for a
respite.

In an old book,dated 1S20 thereis
the following curious love epistle
It affords an admirable play upon
words:
"Madam:?Eost worthy of admiration
! After consideration and
much meditation on the great reputation
you possess in the nation. I
have a strong inclination to become
your relation. On your approbation
of the declaration, I shall make preparation
to remove my situation to
a more convenient station to profess
my admiration; and if such oblation
is worthy of observation and
can obtain consideration, it will be
i an aggrandization beyond all calcu"
- - - - - " ;
lation of the joy and exultation of
yours,
Saxs Dissimulation*."
This is the more curious answer;'
1 1
i
"Sir:?I perused your oration with
mn?li deliberation at the treat infat-1
nation of your imagination to show
such veneration on so slight a foundation,
Hut, after examination and
much serious contemplation, I supposed
yonr animation was the fruit
of recreation, or had sprung from
ostentation to displey your education
by an odd enumeration, or
rather multipliacation, of words of
the same termination, though of
great variation in each respective
signification. Now, without disputation,
your laborious application in
so tedious an occupation deserves
commendation and thinking imitation
a sufficient gratification, I am
without hesitation, yours,
Mary Moderation."
?Rural World.
True pride is a good ihing. Il
inspires higher motives and better
actions, tfiit lalse pride is Dad.
Some people are proud because
they possess a little mute of this
world's goods than their neighbors;
this is pride ot wealth, and is a
false pride.
Some are proud because they
are better educated ?know more
?than their neighbors. This sort
ot pride is not so bad; but if such
people would only reflect how little
they know in comparison to
what is to be known, they would
better realize bow little they have
to be proud of after all.
Some people, though poor, are
too proud to work. This is mean
pride. Work is honorable. The
idler is no use to himself or herself
or to anybody, but is a dead expense
and burden upon honorable
people who earn a livlihood and
have an excuse for living.
A few people are as 4i proud as
Lucifer" without having a solitary
thing to be proud of. They have
neither wealth, knowledge, or wis
dom. They are poor, proud fools.

How To Find Out
Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it it positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order

and scalding pain in passing it, 01
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during
the uight to urinate- The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a mediicins
