The man who goes to the Constitu? tional conventiou as a delegate and votes against submitting the work of that body to the people for ratification drives the last nail in his political cof? fin . - Orangehv.rg Times-Democrat. A New York pedicurist says that many young ladies are now having their feet cared for by bim regularly, so that they will be prepared to go bare? footed io the surf next summer. Rev.

"As the law now stands," remarked Senator Finley yesterday, jokingly, "if a fellow takes a drink of whiskey in North Carolina and fails to stop at the line and throw it up before he returns into this Stats, he lays himself liable to arrest."-Yorhville Enquirer. **I would as soon think of asking satan to give expert testimony as to the reorganization of hell as that I would ask Superintendent Byrnes to give expert testimony as to the reorganiza? tion of the police department.''-Dr. Charles Parkhurst.

Ginseng is root worth almost it.-, waight Lu gold tn China, and Secre- . tary Morton, in his last report, recom? mends its cultivation in this country. Formerly we shipped ?1,000,000 w >rth of ?inse:j<i to China every vear, but trie supr?:y has fallen off, and Corea : now furnishes nearly ali of it. The Chinese regard this plant a? a cure for almost every disease They believe thar, the root possesses intelli- ' gence and powers of locomotion, which enables it to run away to escape capture They also believe that it is guarded by the ti<:er, the leopard, the : wolf and the snake, animals appointed by the ??'?US to protect it. A root weighing three or four ounces ?sells for ?200, bu' the American article- command- oaiy ??L? a pound. In Corea it is cultivated under govern? ment supervision, but in this country the plaut grows wild in the mountain regions. The Chinese say that the virtue of the plant is not in its material c imposition, but in a mysterious power appertaining to it through being pro produced wholly apart from human influence under the care of a beneficent spirit But while the Chinese will pay any price for this root, and will consume all that can bc produced, tho medical men of Europe and America have never \ found any curative powers iu it. Our indian tribes, however, agree with the '-'hi?ese and regard ginseng as a valu- ( ablo medicine. ? ? Charleston and toe Three C's. Seveuty-five thousand dollars is not a very iarge amount for the business ineo of Charleston to guarantee to secure the exteusion of the Three C's road to this city through Sumter. It is uotbiog to such a city as Charleston, and it is well worth the money to secure this road. If Charleston has ever contributed anything towards this road the records do not show it, and yet Charleston has enjoyed the benefits of the road io trade from along its line. The new owners of tho Three C'? want ?75,000 to complete the road from Camden to Sumter, and Sumter declares herself unwilling to contribute that amount, while she is more than anxious to have the road. Sumter forgets, and so does Charleston, that we have to pay for all the good things that we have io this world. Nothing comes free. This road can be secured and such provisions made that Charleston wiH always control oue end of it Rail? road authorities tell us that this road will originate more freight within its territory that any road in the country, i and just the kind of freight that Charles J ton wants. It is a shame that Charles ; ton bas such uncertaiu western con ? nections, and whatever she can do to i improve them she should do without ! hesitation.-Charleston Post. Say ! You Bee-Keeper !
