The BILL TO RED1sTRIcT the State
has been killed. While redistricting
is necessary, the proposed change
was not wise. It threw Charleston,
Beaufort and Colloton into the
same district, thus tying a mill
stone about the necks of the peo-
pie of those counties. It also in.
cluded Sumter in the fourth district.
This would have thrown both Col.
Evans and Col. Richardson into
the same district. The latter should
be allowed to remain in the first
district, which he is now contesting,
80 that he may at any rate have q
second chance next term.

ceiving free passes from railroads.

bunch of daudelions and gave grass that

back still further, and when he told pas.
sing stranger that the little ones father
was one who died on shipboard and was
buried at sea there was only tear drop
in the child's eyes to tell that she heard or
knew the story. When they were gone
she moved on further to a neglected,
empty lot, and kneeling down she piled
up mound of earth, whispering, as she
patted it down and smoothed it with her
chubby hand:
"This won't be so awfully big as the
others, guess. hut may be it'll be big
enough so that God will see it, and think
that papa Is buried here" Carefully she
trimmed the sides with the tray grasses
she plucked, murmuring on: Sand may
be it will grow so that it will be like the

drops that sprang to her ewes moistened
the little bunch of dandelions that she
planted among the grasses on the mound
che had reared. When the sexton pass ed

gates. he found the little one fast asleep,
with her head pillowed on the mound.

A Reunion INCIDENT The Cambridge

4 "A hE-UNlON lNCIDENT-1ueC CamUrluSe
Jefersoaian tells the following story:
J Boyd Cameron, of Uniontown, Bel
mont county, came to find man whose
name or residence he did not know
They were prisoners together for, four
teen months and did not know each
others names or find until about the
close Of their imprisonment that they
were of the same regiment. The other
man was to be pardoned and he begged
for Cameron's release with him. The
prison keepers agreed to permit him to
select FIVE men for release il he would
pay 800 He had the money sewed in
his vest. He chose Cameron as one oI
the five. They never met after that mo
ment until Thursday last Up and dowr
street went Cameron looking for hi.
friend STAGE. He found it. They rec
ognized each other, and the nameless
ones shook hands until the tears rolled
down their faces The crowd caught tht
scene and hundred people wept will
them. They were dry. tears of sympa
the.ic joy They went aside and for th'
first time knew each others names. Th'
other was a Mr.. Nelson, from nea
Mansfield. Two happier people wer'
never seen Cameron paid him the mon
ey which fifteen years ago had been ex
pended for him.
