Campaign. Silhouettes.
During the campaign of 1394. I
reported the meetiog at Lexigton for
one pf the newspapers and it was
easy to see that a Lexington crowd'
has characteristics of its "very own."
A Lexington crowd not only listens
?but insists upon taking part in the
discussion, in perfect good humor,
with a spirit of fan and with a de
monstration of original cleverness
The meeting at Lexington Saturday
was a repetition of that of 1894. At
one time Mr McLaurin for a moment
was engaged in a colloquy on the
tariff with a matron bf about sixty
who sat with her husband on the
front bench. The husband became
a McLaurin-convert, although-.early
in the meeting he appeared to be a
tariff reformer.
John Gary Evaus in speaking re?
minds one of the rapid and violent
tying and untying of a succession of
double bowk no ts, or of some of those
base ball pitchers who writhe in spi?
ral agony before delivering the sphere
over the home plate. While in one
of his most awful paroxy sms at Lex
ington, he quoted a verse of Scrip
ture in a piercing /oice and a "wool
hat'1 who sat on the stand interrupt
ed with a drawl but with entire se?
riousness : " Why, J?rn, youse been
astudying fer the'ministry "
* * *
In the crowd was a native son of
Ireland of about seventy winters and
four drinks, who insisted upon m ak
fug a protective tariff argument. He
was a well informed old citizen and
knew what be was talking about He
was delighted with Mr McLaurin
and at various times insisted upon
giving him pointers.

When Colonel Irby shouted,
"Why, me and Ben Tillman are the
political daddies of theta all !" a
countryman quietly interjected :
"Powerful curious, two daddies and
no mammy !"
* *
When Mayfield said that the in?
spection clause of the dispensary
law was a humbug and that the State
chem ?st could not analyze one gallon
of whiskey in a million purchased, in
sbort that it was put' in the law for
effect, a shrimp faced citizen remark
ed : "We can tell that from the
drinking of it."
, But the riches of all was at Saluda
Mayfield was firing away at the dis
pensary and gray haired "Uncle
George Turner" of that neighbor?
hood, who is the possessor of a fine
vocabulary of expletives was might?
ily pleased. "Give it to '"em May?
field ! Give it'ell !" be woald exalt
antly shout and Mr. Hayfield's face
beamed. Mr Mayfield fairly swirled
and rolled in eloquence aimed at j
"Uncle George," who constantly
nodded and shouted encouragement
Alfter awhile some one tried to quiet
the old gentleman hat Mayfield inter
fered and said that he was not being
disturbed. And the mutual admira?
tion society between the two con?
tinued with its proceedings. Later
on Mr. Mayfield took a prohibition
tack and commenced to soar in i be
higher strata and among the starry
orbs "I have fellow citizens,'' be
exclaimed, "a beautiful little* boy at
my home who is toe dearest object
in life to me In the evening in the
twilight, be climbs upon his father's
knee, and curling his little arms
about my neck, lisps "papa;" but
before I would see tbat darling boy
grow up a drundard I would, with?
out a tear, behold bis cold corpse
lowered into the damp-"
"Hold on !' Hold on ! btop thar
Mayfield : We don't want none er
that! Hold on, sur ! Hold on !" roar?
ed Uncle George and for a moment I
feared that he couldn't keep bis bands
off the anti dispensary champion
So Mr Mayfield polled bis fish ont of
the water but he dropped back be?
fore.be was landed and everbody
shrieked with laughter After the
meeting Uncle George told Colonel
Irby that be bad come to the meet?
ing to bollor for him "because they
had bunted foxes together," that
Mayfield had "come powerful nigh
capturing him" in the early part of
his speech but tbat he believed after
all that it was best ' to let them dam
strangers alone "
Here is a campaign story told at
the expense of all the candidates
An "anti" was asked how he expect
ed to vote "I don't know," he re?
plied. "It's like the farmer who
told at length and in graphic style of
a fight between two buzzards which
be had witnessed 'in a field down
the road.'
'.Well, which 'un whipped !" in?
quired the listen pr.
"How the b-I can I tell ? Ain't
any two buzzards jist alike ?" was
the digo s ted reply.-W W. Ball, in
Greenville News

CONGRESSIONAL PASSES
Congressman Stokes bas introduced
& bill in Congress to prevent tbe use
of passes by Congressmen, Federal
Judges, heads of Executive Depart?
ments, etc. It is doubtful whether it
ever gets through as suoh innovations
are not well received generally by the
national legislators. Mr Stokes bill
is as follows :
Section .1 From and after the pas?
sage of this Act, it shall be unlawful
for at?y common carrier or any person
as its agent or representative to
furnish or to offer to furnish to any
Senator or member of Congress, or to
any Federal Judge, or any head of an
Executive Department, or Chief of
Division or Bureau, any transportation
free or at a I e.?s rate than is offered to
the general public exceptas authorized
in Section 22, of tbe interstate com?
merce Act.
Sectios 2 lt shall be unlawful for
any of the officers designated in Sec?
tion 1; to accept or to use transporta?
tion free or at less than tbe rate com?
mon to the public.
Section 3. For the purposes of the
Act tbe term oommon carrier is con?
strued to include ali corporations en?
gaged io'tbe business of transportation
for hire, and all corporations en?
gaged in the business of transmitting
intelligence for hire.
Section 4 Any person violating or
evading tbe provisions of the Act.
.vball upi.n conviction thereof, be fined
one hundred dollars for each violation
or imprisonment for thirty days or both
in the discretion of the court.
This bill embodies- a public propriety
if not public necessity. Yea? after
year congress is called upon to vote
hundreds of thousands of dollars in the
way of subsidies to common carriers,
for special services.
Heads of d?partements have the giv
ing of contracte iovolviog millioos
more. The Judiciary are called upon
continually to pass upon causes in vol v
tug large interest to these same corpo?
rations The most elementary sense
of propriety would suggest that not
even the small consideration of a free
p3ss or special rate should be allowed
in the scale with the discbarge of
duty
Many of tbe States prohibit the - use
of free passes either by statHte or by
constitutional provisions But this
does not reach rbe evil so far as national
officers are concerned. Members of
Congress have been heard to argue
tbat their State law does not reach fur?
ther than tbe limits of their State ;
and. therefore, they can use free passes
outside tbe State with impunity.
While tbis is literally true, it ill be?
comes hoe entrusted with bigh respon?
sibility by bis State to evade the spirit
of tbe laws of bis State Tbis shows
the need of some general rational legis?
lation.
It will be said that members of Con?
gress cannot be influenced in their
votes by such small considerations as a
free piss May be not, but it is said
that the railroads do not so regard ii,
and naturally one good torn deserves
another, and a member might uocoo
soioasly be influenced by the fact that
a favor of the kind had been extended
him -Colum bia Register.

Unconscious Humor.
From the Cleveland Leader.
"What are you laughing at ?"
said a man with chin whiskers to a
youth who stood beside him at the
corner of Superior and Senaca streets
yesterday morning.
"I'm laughing at what you said to
that man who just shook hands with
you," the boy replied.
The man thought for a moment and
then said :
"I don't remember saying anything
fanny to him."
"Oh. you didn't know it was
funny." '?.
i "Well, what was it, anyway ?"
"When he came np to you and ask?
ed if you didnH know him, you said :
'Your name is familiar, but I swear
I can't recall you face ' "
Then the man with the whiskers
got mad and said it was "a blamed
lie."
