THE LORD MAYOR.

At a grent entertainment given I

. mayor instantly withdrew, followed
' by his faithful aldermen and sher'
iffs and all the other citizens.
> The person of the lord mayor
[ was once held to be sacred and in'
violable, and none dare approach
his presence in an impudent manner.
Men have been hanged for
forcible resistance to his authority,
and it is on record that one Richard
Bvfield in the year 147* was fined
?50 for presuming to kneel too
close to his lordship at St. Erkenwald's
shrine. Most awe inspiring
still, the lord mayor once commanded
the services of a merry nndrew
and a poet laureate.
Ben Jonson himself was a lord
mayor's laureate, and even his supreme
talent was not thought equal
to the high duty of singing the
praises of the common council, tier
must have performed his duties not
too graciously, for we know that he
wrote a letter complaining of the
corporation withdrawing him from
their "chandlery pension for verjuice
and mustard." Upon which
letter a champion of the city made
the comment that the pension was
i "not so chandlery, for it amounted
to ?33 Gs. 8d., a sum which may at
least stand comparison with what
? has been at any time allowed other
laureates of higher degree." It was
much more than was allowed even
to the king's laureate in Ben Jont
son's days, for until 1630 the pension
was hut 100 marks?without a
sip of Canary.?London Chronicle.

INTERVIEW WITH MR II D REBDICK.
What He Has la Say About the Bif
Salvage Sale New On.
Mr H D Keddick. when seer
regarding the bisale beiny
conducted at his store by the
Western Salvage Co., informed
a representative of The Recori
that he had turned over his entin
stock to them for the purpose o!
raising him $10,000 in 10 days
and had given them positive
instructions to force the sile ol
merchandise at prices that wll
be sure to induce read}' buyers
as he had to turn his large stock
into cash at once, and hejwisheiit
thoroughly understood that
this is uo fake sale, but a rare
chance to secure seasonable and
good merchandise at ridiculously
low prices; also that there
will be a large force ol clerks tc
wait on the trade and everybody
will be welcome. For the
past few days the store has been
closed and the regnlarand extra
five of clerks have been engaged
in re marking and re-arranging
the stock for the grand opening

31. at U oYlock. The sale will be

BRIEF LETTER FROM
THE CAPITOL
A SYNOPSIS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
MATTERS RECENTLY ACTED ON
BY THE LEGISLATURE.
The Capitol, Columbia, Jaau
ary zy:?The elevation ot boncitor
Wilson to the circuit}
bench has already been announced.
It is doubtful whether
any other election of recent
years has been so gratifying to
the people of Williamsburg
than this one. "Judge" Wilson
is a Williamsburger through and
through. He has been "stayiug"
in Clarendon a little while,
but that doesn't alter the case.
Messrs Wells and Clayton are
the only two avowed candidates,
so far, for the solicitorsbip. LeRoy
Lee, Esq., has been strongly
urged to enter the field, but
has nnt vet announred what he
will do. MY McLaughlin of
Bishopville has been spouen ot,
but only in a suggestive way, as
a possible candidate. Should
Mr Lee not apply, the indications
are in favor of Mr Wells.
The senate refused to pass
the Crouch bill, which purports
to repeal the "lien1' law. In
fact, it only attempted to repeal
the "merchants'" lien and made
no effort to do away with chattel
mortgages of crops or of landlord's
liens for advances. To
pass this act would make matters
really worse than they are
now.
The senate by a strict test vote
passed tbe.Smith* resolution declaring
for the abolition of the
State dispensary and local option
between prohibition and
county dispensaries. There was
wi rs.t Tbo 1

and from now on will lose instead

to influence prohibitionists

that they will forceJState prohibition
