THE Columbia Herald raves through
several columns this week in denuncia-
ton of what it calls the usurpation "
of the chairman of the Democratic
county committee in insisting upon his
right to call the late Northern district
convention to order and to see that fair
vote and an honest count be had on the
matter of its temporary organization.
The chairman is quite willing to take all
the responsibility which that act imposes
upon him, and is quite ready to meet all
the abuse which the editor of the Herald
may pour upon him for it. The fact that
his action was endorsed on the spot by a
fairly expressed majority Of the district
convention itself is sufficient to answer
the Herald and sufficient explanation OF
where the shoe pinches it. The Herald
betrays little inconsistency, however,
in assuming the role of dictator and pro-
ceeding to tell the Democracy OF the
| county that hereafter they must do this
and that, its programme including dl-
vision of the party into two districts on
matters in which they are not divided
and the holding of one part of the county
| convention at one place and the Other
part at another. But the editor of the
Herald has been "boss - so long that
he does not feel easy on the plane which
we of the rank and file occupy.

DR.. II. B. Stehman then followed with a
talk on the mounting of objects illustrated
by the beading and section cutting of
several tissues. These sections he pro-
ceeded to prepare for mounting by passing
them through the different stages of satur-

water and oil Of cloves, cautioning begin

having it in oxalic acid and previous to put

The doctor gave various recipes for
mounting and hardening tissues. For STAIN

tissues were answered by the speaker,
