r ' The Downfall of "Squire" Bailes.
Who has not heard of "Squire"
Wx O Bailes. envoy extraordinary

at the court of Cupid and "high priest
of the altar of Hymen? Armed
with notarial powers and holding
forth in his strategic position near
the border line of two States, the
enterprising promoter of affaires de
<o?ur did a land-office business in the
bringing together of soulful affinities
sighing for solace in nuptial
blis-.. It is even said that the wide
awake and energetic welder of sympathetic
souls and hearts that beat
as one, recognizing the force of
the. business maxim, "it pays to
kdv ertise." had issued a printed
rat: card, his scale of prices varying
as widely as that of a quick
lunch counter compared with a
tourist hotel.
But alas, and alack! Like the
bar-keeper who falls a victim to
the insidious enticement of his own
stock-in-trade, the benevolent Bailes
has coThe to grief by an over-fondness
for the matrimonial habit.
Being the dispenser of unlimited
conjugal happiness to others, the
worthy Squire could not resist the i
temptation to practice what he |
preached to the extent of defying I
the statutory limitation as to thej
quota of wives one man is allowed
to have and to hold, and now he is;
ca led upon to face a vulgar charge
of bigamy before a York county jury.
How the mighty are fallen! But J

high and low degree and his fame
was spread abroad over two States;
today he faces the dread possibility
of wearing a felon's stripes. Sic
transit gloria mundi!
Alas, Poor Tennesse e!
The political miscarriage which
at present misgoverns the sovereign
State of Tennessee has committed
a high-handed outrage upon law
and justice so as to bring himself
and the high office he holds
into ignominious contempt in the
eyes of decent people everywhere.
To prostitute the office of Governor
into a clearing-house for political
obligations is a new and
dangerous departure for the chief
magistrate of a Southern State to
essay. The Charleston News and
Courier, in an editorial expression
denouncing this outrageous
raj)e of the Goddess of Justice,
aptly sums up as the whole
affair under the caption, "Infamous!"
Hon Richard I Mannning of
Sumter has positively announced
that he will not be a candidate
for Governor of South Carolina
this year. Mr Manning doubtless
realizes t)ie fact that \then he met
Old Man Opportunity four years
ago he caught the wrong scalp
lock.
For the past week or two we
have been struggling with a newspaper
folder, trying to get a machine
weighing approximately a
ton up-statfs and through an ordinary
door. We have at last
got it installed and we invite everyone
now outside to come into
the fold.
At Athens, Tennessee, his old
home, within a few miles of the
house in which he was reared,
Governor Patterson was burned in
effigy last week. Recognizing the
feeling of indignation excited. by
his abuse of his executive powers,
the Governor of a proud commonwealth
goes about shadowed by
armed guards and detectives, so
the press despatches state. "Thus
conscience doth make cowards of
us all."

be almost unbearable and I could

like a new person. Its the best
