was perfectly willing to be satisfied,
answered, promptly: Each one has his or

Mrs. Evangelina Scorbitt blushed de-

lions OF Millinery.
The latest importations of fine French
millinery show preponderance OF the
fancy Tuscan straws, in open-work pat
known as 'lace-straws. There are few
bonnets Of hats Of a single material; II
the brim is Of open-straw then the
crown is velvet or Of plain lace trans
parent enough to show the hair through;
or it is omitted and the open space
merely vailed with velvet ribbons and
loops. There are some dainty little
French toques which are merely ban
deaux OF flowers and lace; the space
where the crown should be left open
just enough to display the couture.
Another feature OF the coming bonnet is
the use Of velvet ribbon. This ribbon APP
pears as bows and ties in various widths
In a two-inch width, the ties are not
bowed under the chin but merely twisted
together and pinned on either side with
a iewelled pin. Other bonnets and hats
are trimmed with slender bows COM
posed of many loops of narrow velvet
ribbon, and are completed by ties of the
same width, which are left long to be

delicate Grape or gauze, or barbs of black
chantilly lace, are used on other bon
nets, and are to be twisted loosely to-
gether and fastened with studied care
lessness on the left shoulder by dia-
mond or are-jewelled pin of any kind.

are some charming little toques-for all
bonnets are toques, short at the ears
with strings from the back-which are
made of dark blue and brown lace-straw
trimmed with blossoms in harmonizing
colors and corenet effect. Still other
bonnets are in black velvet and white
straw, and are made with a brim Of
rough -and-ready braid, the hollow
crown Of the bonnet crossed by velvet
ties, and partly vailed by the clusters
OF loops OF the velvet ribbon that trim
the brim-
An exquisite little toque vita a white

violets and dead leaf brown. The OPEN

violets and the open crown is vailed
with loops of brown velvet ribbon ard
crossed by the wide ties of the same,
which hold tiny cluster of violets at
the back and are left to be twisted in
front and pinned with gold or en-
amelled violet pins. Full wreaths OF
pansies in all the gold and purple Of the
natural flower trim the brim of other
bonnets with transparent crowns Of black
lace.

An Editor Nolninates Himself.
from the Creenville News. |

Misguided opponents ofCandidate A.
3. Williams, just announced as a can
didate for the Legislature, are accusing
him Of Inconsistency. They say he has
persistently declared that he would not
be- candidate for anything and has
now gone squarely back on that declar-
alton.
But the truth is, Mr.. Williams is
run on a platform of Inconsistency, and
the motto of his canvas is "motley'S
the only wear'-an expression origin
ally introduced by one Shakespeare, now
deceased, and the significance whereof
lies in the bearings of it. He has seen
individuals achieve the topmost pin
nacles of popular glory and become
objects of worship by the simple pro-
cess of saying they would not do GER
tain things and doing them, proclaim
ing principles and then goirg squarely
back on them. With that example
before him he appears to have felt
justified in the assumption that the
more thoroughly inconsistent he can
be, the more readily lie can break
promises and abandon principles, the
more profusely he can blackguard his
betters, the faster he can take the back
track, the more readily he can alternate
from swagger to whine and from the
pretence Of patriotism to the fact of
bossism the better mis- chances for elec-
ton will be. Earnestly and consistently
opposing Williams election, we urge
that that his opponents do not under
take to beat him with any such argu-
ment as has inconsistency, this year.
There is an abundance of other rea-
sons why he should not be chosen to
represent the county Of Greenville in
the Legislature Of South Carolina. He
is stockholder in the Greenville Daily
News; he is guiltyof other political and
personal crimes and misdemeanors too
tedious for detailed recitation. A matter
ofless moment in the present campaign,
but not worthy of collateral and Incl
dental consideration. is the fact that he
is fool. Mr.. w. NJ. Rodgers says so
and if there is a man on this earth who
ought to be good, sure, trustworthy
Judge of a fool it is Mr.. Rodgers. Fur
thermore, he has about as much fitness
land desire) to be member of the next
General Assembly as he has to be the
leader of a Wesleyan Methodist mis-
sionary embassy to Timbuctoo.
We have no hesitation, therefore, in
advising every voter to scratch Mr..
Williams deeply, ,darkly and vehement
ly whenever he wishes to vote for any
candidate for the House beside Mr..
Bellinger. Use Williams only when
you desire to engage in the reprehensi-
ble practice of single shotting" and
not otherwise. Swallow Fulenwider,
absorb Burgess, but in the name of the
purity of the press and any other con-
sideration that may occur to the voter
let the name Of Williams be eliminated.

authority might occur when the regular
convention met, but said not one
word which could possibly justify your

that entertained the slightest idea Of
entering upon contest for reelection

COLONEL COWARD.

Colonel Ashbury Coward was born
in Charleston County and is about fifty.
six wears old. In 1854 he was graduted
from the South Carolina Military
Academy, and in 1855, together with
Gen. Micah Jenkins he established the
Kings Mountain Military School, neal
Yorkville. These gentlemen conducted
the school successfully until the break
ing out of the war, when General Jen-
kins was made Colonel Of the Fifth
South Carolina Regiment and Colonel
Coward was appointed Assistant Adju'
tant General on Colonel ID. R. Jones's
staff.
Colonel Coward was gallant soldier
and was promoted to the Colonelcy OF
General Jenkins old Regiment, the
Fifth South Carolina. General Lee in
one of his official reports paid high
compliment to Colonel Coward, saying
that be was one of the best Colonels in
his army.
At the close of the war Colonel Cow
ard, in 1866, reopened the Kings Noun
tain Military School, which he con-
Quoted until 1883, when he closed it in
order to devote his entire time to the
duties of the office of superintendent
of Education. He was elected to this
position in 1852, and was re elected in
1854.
During Cieveland's administration be
us postoffice Inspector and is now IN
the service of the Equitable Life Insur'
ance Company of New York.
Should Colonel Coward accept the
superinteadency of the Citadel, be will
take charge on October l, the. date upon
which General Johnston retires. The
selection of Colonel Coward meets with
the approval of the people of Columbia
where he is such universal favorite.
