The County Officers.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS the PHOENIX has 4
wide circulation among all classes of
readers in this neighborhood, ask the
favor of you to insert q few lines that
may lie interesting to many of them,
upon the action of the recent nomina-
ting convention of Richland County. It
appears that the convention nominated,
among others, William B. Nash as Sena-
tor, and Messrs. S. 3. Thompson and
James Davis rs Representatives,, all of
whom think are precluded by the Con-
stitution of the State from holding the
Offices to which they are nominated. In
proof of which I quote the following
sections of that instrument:
Extract from The Constitution Of tie State
of South Carolina, adopted March II,
1861
ARTICLE I, SECTION &c. In the Govern
ment of this Commonwealth the Legis-
lutive, Executive and Judicial powers OF
the Government shall he forever separate
and distinct from each other, and no
person or persons exercising the fuuc-
tions of one of said departments shall
assume or discharge the duties of any
otter.
ART II, SEC. %. No person shall he
eligible to seat in the General Assem-
bly, whilst he holds any Office of profit
or trust under this State, the United
States of America, or any Of them, or
under any other power, except officers in
the militia, magistrates, or justices of
inferior courts, while such Justices re-
ceivc no salary. And if any member
shall accept or exercise any of the said
dislunlifyirg offices, lie shall vacate his
seat. Provided, that this prohibition
shall nol ectend to the members IF tie first
General assembly.
Now, it is evident by tho section first
quoted, that Hon. W. p. Nash, rs Colonel
of the Militia, exercises q function of
the Executive Department.. and as Trial
Justice o function of the Judiciary De-
partment, and is therefore doubly debar-
red from exercising function of the
Legislative Department; and that Hon.
s. B. Thompson, as Coroner of Richland
County, an important Executive Office,
and as Trial Justice for this District, an
important Judicial Office, is also preclud-
ed from the exercise of Legislative
functions and thatJame Davis, who cx
ercises the duties and receives the salary
and emoluments of an Office Of honor
and profit under this State, is not eligi-
BILE to seat in the General Assembly
until he resigns it.
am sorry to see the prevalence Of
such q spirit among some Of my Repub-
lican friends, which, if not checked, will
soon concentrate the offices in tho hands
of few, and rapidly create an aristo-
cracy Of offico-holders. FAIR PLAY.

DickeEs's Industry and Method.

No writer ever lived whose method
was more exact, whose industry was more
constant, and whose punctuality was
more marked, than those Of Charles Dick
ems He never shiIked labor, mental or
bodily. He rarely declined, if the object
were good one, taking the chair at a
public meeting, or accepting charitable
trust. Many widows and orphans OF de-
ceased literary men have for years been
benefited by his wise trusteeship or
counsel, and he spent a great portion of
his time personally looking after the
property of the poor, whose interests were
under his control. He was, as has been
iptimated, one of the most industrious OF
men, and marvellous stories are told mot
by himselD of what he has accomplished
in given time in literary and social mat
tiers. His studies were all from nature
and life, and his habits of observation
were untiring. If be contemplated writ
ing Hard Times he arranged with the
master of Astley's circus to spend many
hours behind the scenes with the riders
and among the horses; and if the compo.
sition of the "Tale of Two Cities" were
occupying his thoughts, he could Danish
himself to France Tor two years to pre-
pare for that work. Hogarth penciled
on his thumb nail striking face in q
crowd that he wished 10 preserve Dick
ems, with his transcendent memory, chron-
icled In his mind whatever OF interest met
his eye or reached his ear, any time or
anywhere. Speaking OF memory one day,
he said the memory of children was pro-
digious; it was mistake to fancy children
ever forgot anything When he was de-
lineating the character of Mrs. Pipchin,
he had In his mind an old clearinghouse
keeper in an English watering place
where he was living with his father and
mother when he was but two years old.
After the book was written he sent 1t to
his sister, who wrote back at once: GOOD
heavens! what does this mean ? you have
painted our lodging house keeper, and
YOU were but two years old at the time!"
Characters and incidents crowded the
chambers of his brain, all ready for use
when occasion required. No subject OF
human interest was ever Indifferent TO
him, and never cay went by That did
not afford him some suggestion to be util.

and pierced their tongues with pins, Z
they broke silence.
Nearly contemporary of st. Therel
was an Italian, Catherine de Cardone. Sir
lived in q cave, wore dress interlsts f
with thorns and wire, ate grass like
beast without using her hands, and onee
tasted forty days In this state she lived
three years. st. Passidea, Cisiercisn
nun of Sienna, beat herself with thorns,
and washed the wounds with vinegar,
salt and pepper. She slept on Cherry
stones and peas, wore o mailed coat OF
sixty pounds weight, immersed herself in
freezing ponds, and once hung herself for
q time, feet uppermost, in smoky Chin
uey!
st. Clair, of Amir, lived very severely.
Instead at shift, she wore dogs skin,
or a garment made Of horse. hair and she
was so humble that she would kiss the
feet of dirty peasant girl without per-
hitting her to wash them first. After she
had "sullied them by her kiss (then why
kiss them? one would ask she washed
them herself! When st. Clara died,
there were found in her heart all the in
struments of the passion in miniature
There were also found in her body three
mysterious stones, each Ct the same
weight, but OF which one was as heavy as
all three, two were not heavier than one
and the smallest was as heavy as all three
together !
These are a few examples of the miser
able havoc that abject and degraded
superstition and lunacy, with its charac-
teristic dirt and vanity, once made Of the
New Testament. 1t is scarcely concciva-
bic that such truths could be enacted, OIL
such lies told (tor some of these things are
founded ON fact and others are wholly
false), with an audacious reference to the
religion Of Christ The frequent intro
duction of the Divine Master himself into
the lives of female saints we have pur-
posely omitted to notice, as too shocking
to be remembered. AL the Year Round

THE estimated amount of gold in exist
ence at the commencement OF the
Christian era was $427, 000, 600. At the
discovery of America, I'm 1492, this amount
had diminished to $57, 100000. In 1000
the amount had risen to $105, 100000; IN
100 to 1851, 600 600; in 1900 to 81 ,251, :
100000. The Russian mines, extending
over one third of the surface Of the globe,
on parallel so degrees north latitude,
were discovered In 1919.
In f843 the estimated amount OF gold
in existence was 2,000, 900 900.
Next followed the discoveries in Cali
fornia, February 0. 1S48, and in Australia,
February 10, 1851, which added enOY.
mously TO the gold production. In 1853 the
amount in existence was computed 1t
$1,000, 100000; and in 1850 it was "a, co.,
100000.
From the commencement Of the Christ
ian era to the discovery OF America, 1t
was estimated that gold had been taken
from the surface and mined TO the amount
of x3, 800. 600, 900. From that date to the
close Of 1912, g. 800, 0OO, 600 to 1850, Rus
sia adds $748, 00O, 900, and California and
Australia $4,000, 100000 more. The
amount Of gold at present In existence "
estimated at 50, $50 O00. 900. The quantity
of gold and silver coin OF all denominations,
in all quarters of the globe, Is set down
by the best authorities at from three TO
four hundred million pounds sterling, and
the quantity Of plate and ornaments at
about $4OO, 100000.
In the reign Of Darius gold was thir-
teen times more valuable, weight for
weight, than silver. In the time Of Plato
1t was twelve times more valuable. In
that Of julius Caesar gold was only nina
times more valuable, owing, perhaps, 70
the enormous quantities OF gold seized BY
him in his wars. 1t Is . natural question
to ask what became Of the gold and
silveri A paper read before the Poly
technic Association by DR.. Stephens, re-
Gently, is calculated to meet this inquiry.
He says Of our annual gold product, fun
IS per cent Il melted down for
manufacture; 80 per cent goes
to Europe; IS per cent to Cuba; 10 per
cent to Brazil; 5 per cent direct to Chins,
Japan, and the Indies; leaving but 5 per
cent for circulation in this country. Of
that which goes to Cuba, tho West Indies
and Brazil, full 80 per cent finds Its way

To BE REMoDELED.-We are glad to
learn from Moore & Parker that they con-
template an entire reconstruction of their
Theater-the old one. The projected i'm
provements will embrace a new and much
higher roof over the uditorium-which will
be arched; an entire new proscenium new
act drop and an entire new set of scenes.
This is a good idea not quite so good as
the conversion of the new Hall into thea
ter, but very good, nevertheless; and we
hope to see it soon carried into effect.
