CHARLESTON CHIPS.
The Elections in the City Council Not
a Clean Sweep.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 11.-There is
weeping and wailing and cursing in good
many quarters here to-day over the result
Ct the municipal elections last night. There
were people who expected the new Council
to make a clean sweep. The new Council,
on the contrary, reelected all the Old Off
Gals against whom no charges could be
brought, and even the Mayor re-appointed
the old police officers, who were unani-
mously confirmed by Council. The result
is a disappointment to the politicians,
but the non political taxpayers seem to be
very well satisfied.
Bert Foley, a we'll known character here,
shot himself fatally while out shooting in
the suburbs to-day. The shooting Was en-
tirely accidental. The gun went off while
he was attempting to load it and discharged
the entire load of shot into his stomach.
Mr.. Foley is well known on the Bay, where
he keeps sailors QUILTING shop and board

Few Remarks About Mr.. Rouss.

We Lave received Il pleasant letter
from Mr. G. B. Rouss in which lie says
he spent q most enjoyable day on the
4th. He also says he hopes to visit
the S. V. A. Fair this Fail and have
n handshake with some of his old
friends. We have heard many cX-
pressions of satisfaction nj the peru
sal of Mr.. Rouss' characteristic con-
trihution in our 4th of July issue. -
Many of our older citizens remember
the immense drive i'll lawns, also the
procession of drays that it required
to bring the great invoice to its then
limited quarters. He was equal to
the emergency then aS he is now,
when graphing with whole stocks of
goods in every line, amounting to
hundreds of thousands of dollars
Mr.. Rouss is a calm, cool, clear
headed business man, chOck full of
energy. Let no one imaglng that he
is not conversant with any other
topic than that of filthy lucre. Strike
him upon any other in conversation
and. YOU will be surprised at the easy,
graceful expression of his opinions.
lie is up on the great tariff question
and riveted the closest attention OF
his friends on the 4th around the fes-
tive board at Grim's Hotel. His
views upon this intricate subject and
his arguments were convincing and
highly instructive. Upon all the
great national questions of the day
Mr.. Rouss is on the right side. He
says that the election of Cleveland
and Thurman is assured; that the
business men of New York and of
the country at large are for this great
political combination and it must
win. The entertaining qualities of
Mr.. Rouss are of & high order, giving
evidence of much research into the
questions that agitate the public
mind and showing that the acqnisi-
ton of wealth, as many suppose. is
not the only aim in life of our friend.
