CJ? ?lanmau d? %t?kn& WEDNESDAY* MASCH 1,18987 Bowden's Predictions? There is a great deal of ?nteres* being ta?-ea by the politicans io the probable intentions of Mr. Cleveland rd tbe distribution cf patronage, and Surmises as to ?bat be will do ab-?ot (he gift of offices are multitudinous. Mr. J. W. Bowden, of Third party fame, yesterday gaye bis opioioo as tv Mr. Cleveland's present conduct and the future of the politics of this country as they will be shaped by the Presi? dent's policy. Mr. Bewden says that it appears very clearly to bim that the President? elect in making bis appointments is not going to recognize the party machines ia aoy State in the Union, and if the party machins in South Carolina ex* peete much from it it will be pretty badly mistaken. He thinks that Mr. Cleveland, by appointing Judge Gresham and Hoke Smith tn bb Cabi? net, has amply proven this. Mr. Bowden predicts that Cleve? land's policy will be to leave behind him a set of party principles that will go down iD'o history along side of thtise of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson. He predicts that the admin? istration of Mr. Cleveland will witness the greatest political revolution the 'World has ever known-a cutting loose from all party bonds. He thinks President Cleveland will lend bis endeavors to the formation of a new party which will draw forces from -other parties and be very broad in its s&ope. If this is done? Mr. Bowden says Mr. Clevehnd will have his sup? port and that of thousands of others Who are not now his followers. He thinks that in the next campaign there will be but two parties. The new one to be created by President Cleveland will under the name "Democratic," be very strong. The other will be called the People's party. If Mr. Cleveland's party, however, grants such believers tn the present People's party their mild demand they will go with bim. The State. Every good citizen of South Carolina will regret that the authority of the State has been carried into the federal courts and there questioned and re baked. lt is only fair jost here to remember what is at the back of it all. The assessment of the property of the rail? roads for taxation was greatly raised by the State board of equalization, while the property of individual citizens was let alone. That waa the beginning and the cause of ail the trouble. If the assessment of the moles, cattle and all lire stock belonging to farmers was suddenly raised while the stocks of goods of merchants and other people were left untouched, the farmers would justly and strenuous? ly object. In the same way the railroads are fighting in the courts for fair treatment, which the Governor's board of equali? sation denied them. Undoubtedly they will maintain the Struggle. Whatever may be the result of the litigation tbe fact cannot be successfully disputed that the rights of the roads were in the first instance invaded with entire contempt of equity by the Tillman Administration. The roads whose cases are ia the courts are not tax dodgers. They tendered to the county treasurers the amounts which they believed lawfully due.-Laurens Advertiser. . If, as Ko be ri P. Porter's orgao, the Press* says, it is true that President Harrison will take more than one-half of bis salary with him when he leaves the White House, it is very greatly to his discredit. When, daring General Grant's second term, the salary of the office was raised from $25,000 a year to the present $00,OOO, he said, in signing the bill, that it would make no difference to him, as he understood it to be the idea of tbe people that the President?! office was not ooo in which the incumbent was expected to be a money maker, but that the inorease was intended to enable him to make a more creditable display as tbe head of the wealthiest natioc on the face of the earth. Grant, I feel sure, but voiced the sentiment of his time, and that which is also the sentiment of the present. There are many who consider that in paying its President a salary inferior to that received Ly many heads of our large financial or railroad corporations we are showing a very niggardly publi? spirit, but if a par? simonious man is enabled to save $25,000 per annum, as Harrison ie said to have done, or to retire to a well stocked chicken farm, as did Hayes, it is likely to be some time before Con? gress can be gotten to vote a larger salary, unless some bright mind ear hit upon some method whereby the Pres? ident shall be obliged to live in a style commensurate with bis iooome. Town Topics. The popularity of Mr. Andy Stewart is explained by his wonderful memory for jokes, and for the style and finish with which he oao rattle them of to suit the varied turns of the conversa? tion. The other day the topic under discussion was the late General Toomba, and among other things the generosity of that celebrated Georgian was alluded to. "I beard a good one on General Toomba," said Mr. Stewart, ?11 '.There was once a very peculiar old man in Atlanta who was a Hardshell Baptist preacher. Many of the old citizens wiil recall him, as he was a very faniliar character along the streets. It was one of his freaks to believe that ali bis movements were regulated by j God, and that every thought which \ originated in his mind was there by j J? divine authority. One day he was t. moved by the spirit to go on an erraud of the gospel and to preach a sermon \ in one of the smaller towns of the ; a state, several miles from Atlanta He never had a cent of money in his j pocket, but. according to his faith he j p knew that if the Lord put the idea in bis mind he would furnish him the means to make the trip. So just a few minutes before traic time he made his apperance at the depot and applied for a i fr ticket. '.The Lord sent me to you for a ticket,' said the preacher, naming the j '* point to which he desired to go. * "The ticket ageot eyed htm w?tb astonishment and then said : Did she ; h >rd give you the money to buy the j ticket with ?' * c ** *N<\ sir,' replied tte obedient j s emissary. j ? .' 'Well, yonder is a man,' said he, ; J pointing to teneral Toon br, who was ; j. Jost boarding the tr>*?n, 'who will give you a ticket. 8-ppose you ask him.' "He darted out io to the depot and reached the general just as be wa? taking his seat in the train. ? ** 'The Lord sent me to yon for .Doney enough to- boy a ticket/ said fee repeating bis former words almost literally. 'Well,' said the general, 'be sent you to the right man.' Then running bis band in bis pocket be inquired, 'How much do you want?' *? *4Tbe preacher told bim and! sootr, with the glittering shekels io band, be made bis way to the" iitfte? ?&ce. Io a few minutes he was sailing away 99 the train to proclaim the $gospe according to tke Lord's direction." Architectural Features of the Worlds Fair. A travelled Frenchman was asked the olHer day bow the buildings of the Columbian World's Fair compared with those of the last exposition in the French capita)^ After reflecting a moment be replied, . JChe building? at Chicago are what" you might bave expected in Paris; the buildings in Parts were what you might have ex? pected in Chicago'*'< That is to say, in the capital of the world of art the exhibition architecture- and architect ure is .an essential part of a world's exhibition-in its utilitarianism made little effort to rise above the common place, while in a typical industrial city of the New World the display is of the noblest and most refined classic art The creation has avoided the eccentric as completely as it has escaped the com? monplace ; has achieved the grand witboat pretension, and has been so mindful of beauty and harmony that the severest critic cannot gibe at its ambitious magnitude. At_ the same time utility bas not been sacrificed to 8how, nor the practical object of the exhibition to ostentation. No world's exhibition was ever better boused or more conveniently arranged, and the promise now is that it will be seen to better advantage and with less weari? ness than any of its predecessors have been. As it stood on the day of its formal dedication in October, incom? plete, its decoration in progress, with the scaffoldings and building-stages still marring the architectural effect, in tbe midst of the debrsis of ten thousand workmen driving on the work night and day, it was already a sufficient answer to the doubt whether the. American genius is equal to the creation of any works except those of mechanical inge? nuity. The distinction of the Colum? bian Exhibition is not its magnitude ; it is not that it contains the largest building ever erected in the world ; it is in its beauty .its harmonious grouping, tts splendid landscape and architectural affects. This is best comprehended as at whole in tbe approach from the lake. The view there, especially at the com? ing of evening, when the loog rows of classic columns, the pillars, and domes ire in relief against a glowing sunset sky. is a vision of beauty that surprise most and will appeal most to those Familiar wwi the triompha of mao's genius elsewhere. The little city of :he lagoon* n fi ec ted io the water as distinctly as it stands out against the ?ky, seems like some fairy exhalation >u the shore, suggesting the long perspective of col um us on the desert of Palmyra, tbe approach by the Sea of VI arm ora to Constantinople, and the canals and palaces of Venice as seen rom the Lido. In its light and airy '?ace it in like a city of the imagina? ron.-Charles Dudley Warner, io tlarper's Magazine. mm? -????- e?i It Was Alcohol A dispute arose between a Tacoma. >ai ber and one of his customers the >ther day as to the compositum of a ^lampooning fluid which the barber ;va8 using on the other's head. The >arber maintained that it was mainly dcohol, and the other contended that t was nothing bnt soap and water, md told the barber to prove it by mtting a lighted match to his head, vhich was then saturated with the luid. The barber did so, and instant y the customer's head was involved u flames. The barber managed to xtinguish the dames, but not till the ictim bad lost most of his hair and ?eard and was seriously burned. Ile s convinced that the fluid was alcol IOJ. From PLO to Soup. Savannah Neics : The Columbia ?tate says : "Governor Tillman's ?larch in the Cleveland J inaugura ion procession will partaks of the haraoter of a cake walk-it will be a arade for 'pie.' " From a pie expecta ion to a soup realisation would be atber rough on the Governor. Chief Justice Fuller called recently o see bis physician, and, finding bim osent, concluded to await his return, 'he doctor's man, instinctively trust jg to Judge Faller's kindly expression, nd unaware of his identity, hesitating jr asked the latter to do a little writing >r bim.

He rises early ; he rs ac? quainted with and interested in all the stock and poultry ; he knows all the country round ; he ie aequaited with every bug and worm, bird and animal, tree and Sower, Weed and cereal on the farm. He bas a good appetite and good digestion, and his sleep is sweet aad refreshing. He reads thoughtfully the great book of nature, whose leaves open before him day by day. He loves his father and mother and calls them such, and be loves his sweetheart as no town boy does, and is loved in turn by ber as no town boy is. He works hard all day and when night comes be enjoys a frolic with a healthful zest, and then lies down to peaceful dreams. He grows to man's estate with the rieh heritage of good health, a clean, pure character, industrial habits, a mind well stored with know? ledge, gained by the fireside and the reading of good books and newspapers, affectionate and trusting in bis dispo? sition, polite and courteous though perhaps somewhat awkward in this manners, and every way well equipped for, the battle of life. He knows nothing of the follies and vices, the mockery and hollowness so often seen in city life. He is a grown up man, and the chief places io business in tbe city and in the nation come into his Possessisn. He has the stuff in him that qualifies him under guidance for eminent statesmanship, for military renown, professional success, for judicial distinction and for the grandest citizen? ship. The grandest men of our nation have been, and tbe grandest of the future will be found among tbe country boys of our land. He may at times think his country borne plain and unattrac? tive, his life one of drudgery and hum? drum, and may at times envy the town boy and his more exciting life and opportunities, but let him not worry. He bas a far richer heritage, and the future will be a satisfactory revelation to bim. God bless tbe country boy I He is the hope of the nation.-Dr. Ken? nedy. A Million Friends.
