Col. Irby is yet young man. who has
not been long prominently identified in
pubic affairs, but he has shown himself the
past year. to be man of fine parts and
deep acumen. His mastery conduct of the
Democratic campaign against the independ-
ent movement, led by some of the most
gifted men of the State, showed him to be u
man Of great power. He will make good
senator, who will do honor to his State.

Last week Attorney General Pope dis
missed one r. B. Butler from clerlship in
the engrossing department, because he voted
for Haskell. Butler, Influenced by clerk
in Joseph Barnwell's Office, indicted Attor-
ney General Pope for violation Of the law
in aismissing him. The trial came ofyes-

Some people are hard to learn. They seem
to think that in them is centered all that is
right and just and proper, and who differs
is denounced rs nincompoop. That policy
last summer yielded very small dividend
rhe supporters of Hampton are now pur-
suing the same course, and it is to any per-
son Of delicate sensibiities exceedingly
Dauseating. Hampton was defeated because
he favored independentism. OF tnat there
IS no doubt Now where is the good sense
in hurting anathemas upon those who voted
against HIM. It does no good, has done
rome, and can do none. On the other hand,
II has done much harm. The people care
nothing whatever for this uncalled for and
indeEcate abuse.

The Haskellians last campaign swore
that Tillman should never be governor.
What effect had it.? They have already be-
gun preparations for the next campaign,
but their secret and early preparation have
no terrors for the old-time regulars. The
people will 60 on quietly in pursuit of their
vocations till 80, and then as this year will
show whether the bosses or the people are
masters of the situation. The nominee for

toned b. some, but it is a demonStrablc fact
that anything which promotes the flow of
saliva, at the same time through the sym

selves with candy in the hope of getting stout,
for in them something more than fat forming

Children under , years of age are better off
without any candy whatever, because their

task of properly assimllating cane sugar and

work twice, three, four or more times, and
again, by condrmslng this same steam and
by producing a vacuum, making the atmOs-

that has for a long time received attention
from mechanical engineers, especially in the
navy and merchant marine. The ordinary
high pressure engine as We Use them in this

A NEST AND A HOME.

See this pretty, fragile thing
That some bird has made;
With what careful fashiOning
Every twig was laid.
Filled with happy song by day,
And by night with rest.
Now It's but that useless thing
4 deserted nest
See yon empty dwelling place;
Once it was home;
Children's happy, dancing feet
In and out did come
Now the curtains close are drawn,
Death hath been a guest:
T. step is heard; It's but
A deserted nest
Where have flown the joyous birds
That the nest did weave:
Tell me why, 50 fair place,
Did its inmates leave:
Do they miss its sheltering wall
Where they took their rest?
Do they pine in sadness for
Their deserted nest?
Nayl on strong and gladstone wing,
Did they take their flight;
Far in sunny Lands they sing
Songs of true delight;
Pitifu would be their cry,
Sad each fcathcred breast,
Should they now be forced to seek
Their deserted nest
To the dear ones gone before"
From an earthly home,
Wait upon the shining shore"
Till we too shall come:
In that safe and UleSt abode,
Now they sing and rest;
WOuld'st thou call them back to claim
Their deserted neSt?"
