Mighty Mr Caughman.
The authority assumed by Mr
Banks Caughman, who holds the
position of railroad commissioner,
in changing the route of the
promised train from Bennettsville
to Lane is disgusting in the extreme.
The towns interested along
the proposed route are all optr?
the rhanirp; vet the
? o-> J
mighty Caughman, who in his
campaigD posed as the people's
candidate against the corporations,
issues his orders that the train
shall run from Sumter to Gib^
son, thus cutting out Bennettsviile,
Florence, Scranton, Lake
City, Kings tree, Charleston ana
other i.nermediate points. Well,
jna^be, when Mr Banks offers for
le-election some of these little
obscure hamlets will cut him out.
The following from the News
& Conner is so timely and to the
point that we canuot refrain from
reproducing it for the benefit of
our reader
Some da;," perhaps, the public
* will come to recognize lhat the conn-1
ty supervisor is tne business lnanagerof
tbe countv; that more discretion
is allowed ?9 him than ?to another
county official; that It is of
paramount importance that he shall
be a strong, conservative, practical,
tactful business man; that the salary
attaching to the office should be
sufficient to command the' services

1 islands are connected with each other

known a? the war of 1812.
Amsterdam, in Holland, is built
on piles driven far below the water
into the earth. The city is intersected
by many canals, which are
spanned by nearly 300 bridges, and
resembles Venice in the mingling
of land and water, though it is considerably
larger than that city. The ;
canals divide the city, which is about ;
ten miles in circumference, into
ninety islands.
The city of Venice is built on
eighty islets, which are connected
by nearly 400 bridges. Canals serve
for streets in Venice and boats,
called gondolas, for carriages. The
bridges are, as a rule, very steep,
rising considerably in the middle,
but have easy 6teps. The circumference
of the city is about eight
miles. The Venetians joined the
Lombard league against the Oer- 1
man emperor and in 1177 gained a
great victory in defense of rope Alexander
III. over the fleet of war
vessels headed by Otto, son of Frederick
Barbarossa. In gratitude for
this victory the pope gave the Doge
Ziani a ring and instituted the world j
famous ceremony of "Venice Marrying
the Adriatic Sea." In thi? ,
ceremony the doge, as the chief
ruler of Venice used to be termed, i

of ths Dublin Gallery.
The humor of the Dublin gallery j
has long been proverbial. Maeready :
in his "Reminiscences" relates that
on one occasion when playing Ot- i
way's uVenice Preserved" Jalfter's '
long and rather drowsy dying speech
was interrupted by one of the gallery,
in a tone of great impatience,
culling out very loudly, "Ah, now
die s:t once!" to which another from I
the"oilier side immediately replied, '
"l?e quiet, yon blackguard." then \
turning with a patronizing tone to |
the lingering da flier. "Take your j
time." ...... j

Captain Clapp. with laughable

k Daisy.
44You are a daisy," is used by
DickeDs in "David Copperfield" in
the sense of calling a person a daisy
in the way to express admiration
and at the same time to laugh at
one's credulity. Steerforth says to
young Copperfield: "David, my daisy,
you are so innocent of the world.
Let me call you my daisy, as it ifi so
refreshing to find one in these corrupt
days so innocent and unsophisticated.
My dear Copperfield, the
daisies of the field are not fresher
than you."
