SOSTI HNUttl SEM?T08S. It is Tilimari Who Holds the Seat of Mn C. Calhoun. Me. A. S, Sally, Jr., in The State. In the late Senatorial campaign in this State it was quite common to hear it said of so and so that he was "not fit to occupy the seat of John C. Cal houn." Now,? as a matter of fact, as well as of congratulation, the seat now occupied by Senator McLaurin is not the seat that Calhoun filled. Sena tor Ti liman holds the seat that Mr. Calhoun so ably filled for so many years. When the first Congress of the United States-met in 1789 South Caro lina was represented in the Senate by Messrs. Ralph Izard and Pierce But ler. Senator Izard's term was for six years, ending March 3, 1795. Sena tor Butler's for. four years, ending March 3, 1793. In 1792 the Legisla ture reiected Senator Butler for a six years' term, but he resigned in 1798, and John Hunter was elected to fill the term. 'In November, 1798, Senator Hunter resigned and Go v. Charles Pinckney was elected to fill out the term, which expired March 3, 1799. At the same time Mr. Pinckney was elected for the full term of six years, beginning March 4, 1799. He resigned in 1801 and Gen. Thomas Sumter was elected tc fill ont the term. In 1804 Gen S um ter was re-elected for the full term, beginning March 4, 1805, bat he resigned in 1810 and John Taylor was elected to fill out the term, ending March 3, 1811, and also for the fair term, beginning March 4,181L Senator Taylor resigned in 1816, and William Smith was elected to fill out thefterm and also for the fall term, "beginning March 4, 1817. HAYNE AND CALHOUN. In 1822 Robert Y. Hayna was elect ed to succeed Senator Smith for the fall term beginning March 4, 1823, and in 1828 Senator Hay ne was re elected for a second term, beginning March 4, 1829, bat he resigned in 1S32 And John C. Calhoun was elected to fill out his term, Mr. Calhoun resign ed the office of Vice-Presidentto go on the floor of the Senate. In 1834 Sen ator Calhoun was re-elected for a full )rm of six years, ending March 3, 1S41, and in 1840 he was reiected for, a third term, beginning March 4, 1841, but he resigned in 1842 and Judge I Daniel Elliott linger was elected to fill out his term, .but Mr. C?lhoun's presence in the Senate was soon need ed, and in 1845 Senator Huger re signed and Mr. Calhoun was return ed to his seat. In 1846 he was -elected for a fourth term, ending .JHarch 3, 18S& He died March 31, Governor Seabrook ap pointed Hon* F. H. Elmore to the vacancy so created. Mr. Elmore died May 20th follow ing, and Governor Seabrook appointed . Robert W. Barnweil to the vacancy. In December following the j J?e^sl?ture. ejected; Eq?. |&]ter$0arD* " -well Bhefci lo fill oui tn? term, but Senator Rhett served btit ? litt?s Over a year and resigned. Governor Means appointed Hon. William E. DeSaus . sure to the vacancy, and when the Legislature met Senator DeSaussu re was elected to fill out the term. At the same time Judge Josiah J. Evans . was elected as Senator DeSaussure's successor for the full term, beginning March 4, 1853. Senator Evans died May 6, 1858, and Governor A liston appointed Arthur P. ?ayne to the vacancy so created. . The Legislature, in December fol lowing, elected James Chestnut, Jr., to fill out th? term ending March 3 1859, and for the full term beginning March 4, 1S59, and ending March 3, 1865. Senator Chestnut retired from the Senate November 10, 1860. From that date until June 25, ?S6S, the State was not represented in the Senate of the United States, but in 1868 Thomas J. Robertson was elected Senator for the term, beginning March 4, 1865, and ending March 4, 1871. In 1870 he was re-elected for the full term, expiring March 3, 1877. The Legislature elected Gen. M. C. Butler to succeed Senator Robertson, and by the same body he was re-elected in 1882 and in 1888, retiring March 4, 1895, in favor of B. " R. Tillman, the present representative of the Demo cracy of South Carolina, who had de feated him before the Legislature in 1894. It will be seen that 19 Senators have occupied his seat made so famous by John J. Calhoun in the 15 years that he occupied it It is also worthy of note that Mr. Latimer, when he will have taken his seat, will be the 19th Senator to have occupied the seat "of Izard and Gaillard and Preston and McDuffie and Hampton. But the Cal 'houn seat possesses one advantage that the other does not It has never been occupied by an alien knave. No one bat a native born South Carolinian, has succeeded Calhoun, while the other seat, reserved for a South Carolinian, has been occupied by a Sawyer and a Patterson, carpet-baggers who were "among us, but not of us." THE SEAT HELD BY M'LAUkIN. Mr. Izard, who secured the six fears' term in 1779, was succeeded farch 4,- 1795, by Jacob Read, and Senator Read was, in turn, defeated for re-election in 1800 by John Ewing Colhoun. Senator Colhoun is popu larly supposed to have been of the same family as John Calhoun, but he was not He spelled his name differently and his family came to South Carolina from '4 Fawny, County Tyrone, and Kingdom of Ireland." John C. Cal honn's grandfather came from County Donegal to Pennsylvania in 1733, and his father, Patrick Calhoun, came to South Carolina from Virginia in 1756. The two families might have come of Wanted.

The latter died October 26, 1802, and ex-Senator Fierce Butler was elected by the Legislature to fill out his term. Senator Butler resigned in 1804, and the Legislature elected John Gaillard to fill out the term. Senator Gaillard was re-elected in 1806, in 1812, in 1818 and in 1824, but died February 26, 1826, and Governor Manning appointed Hon. William Harper to the vacancy so created. Senator Gaillard served for over 21 years?the longest time that any Sena tor from this State has ever served, Sen ator M. C. Butler coming next with 18 years. Over half of the time that Senator Gaillard was in the Senara he was president pro tern of that body, and it is said that on one occasion he acted as President of the United States for one day. His successor, Senator Harper, served until the meet ing of the Legislature in November, 1826, when ex-Senator William Smith was elected to fill out the term. PRESTON AND M'DUFFIE. In 1830 Govrenor Stephen D. Miller was elected by the Legislature to succeed Senator Smith on March 4tn, following. Senator Miller resigned in 1833 and the Legislature elected William C. Preston to fill out the term. Senator Preston was re-elected in 1836 for a second term, but resign ed in 1842, and the Legislature elect ed ex-Governor George McDufSe to fill ont the term and also for the new term, beginning March, 4, 1843. Sen ator McDufSe resigned in 1846 and the Legislature elected Judge A. P. Butler to fill out the term Senator Butler was re-elected in 1848 and in 1854, but died May 25, 1857. Ex Governor James H. Hammond was elected by the Legislature to fill out the term but retired from the Senate November 10, 1860. In 1868 the Legislature elected Fre derick A. Sawyer to fill ont the term, beginning March 4, 1867, and ending March 3, 1873. Sawyer was succeed ed on March 4, 1873 by John J. Pat terson. In 1879 Patterson, the worst specimen that ever occupied the seat, gave place to the greatest man that ever filled it, General Wade Hampton. Senator Hampton was reelected in 1884 and served until March 3, 1891, when he was succeeded by John L. M. Irby, who had defeated him before the Leg islature in 1890. Senaor Irby retired March 3, 1897, and was succeeded by Jxidg? Joseph H. Earle, who had re ceived the Democratic nomination in the prime ~;. es the summer before. Senator Earle died ? short time after taking his seat, and Goveraor Ellerbe appointed John L. McLaurin to &ll the vacancy. Senator McLaurin was nominated for election by the Legis lature to fill out the term, and the Legislature confirmed the action of the primary bv electing .Mr. Mc Laurin Senator/ And now Senator McLaurin will give way to Mr. Lar imer.

Hugbson &Co. Fruit For Alcohol Habit. The more fruit you cat the less alco hol you will need. Such is the latest scientific theory. In the first place, the amount of water in fruit is con siderable. In watermelons it is no less than 95 per cent ; in grapes 80 per cent. : in oranges 86 per cent. ; in lemons 90 per cent. ; in peaches 88 per cent. ; in apples 82 per cent ; in pears 84 per \ cent ; in plums 80 per cent : and in strawberries 90 per cent. ; not a fruit in the whole category contain ing less than 80 per cent The irresistible conclusion, consider ing these facts, is that fruit plays an important role in diet as a thirst quencher. Certainly when fruits are freely rep resented in the diet less fluid requires to be consumed; and fruits would appear to be endowed with a subtle inimitable flavor which is ample in ducement to imbibe fluid in this most wholesome form. The question so prominent in most people's thoughts as to what to drink might, therefore, on sound physiologi cal reasoning, be answered ; eat sound, ripe, juicy fruit. It is noticeable, says Food and Cookery, that as fruit enters into the diet the indulgence in alcoholic drinks is undoubtedly very much diminished. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Oct 7?30 ! Everybody's Magazine. The fiction in the November number of Everybodys' Magazine is good. "The Unregenerated, by Lindsay Denison, is a capital piece of writing. Lilian Bill tells "How We Tamed the Cook." The Red Law and the White" is a foot ball story under strange con ditions, and there is a series of "Lit tle Stories of Real Life" which are decidedly worth reading. 1 The 'November Everybody's is really a well illustrated magazine. Several of the best illustrators are re presented. Frederick Remington con tributes a splendid picture of a border fight. D. U. Wilcox portrays types of Mississippi River pirates, and B. J. Rosenmeyer has done some capital pic tures to illustrate Mr. Blethen's story. G* A. Pierson, Karl J. Anderson, A. B. Frost and Orson Lowell are al so represented. Forty Years' Torture. To be relieved from a torturing disease after 40 years' torture might well cause the gratitude of anyone. That is what De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve did for C.Haney, Geneva, O.
