The page started down the aisle, and wa
again stopped by Jim Mckenzie. He
glanced at Knott's additional handiwork
and threw up both hands. A minute later
they were both ON their way to the res
taurant, while the page was retailing the
incident to his fellows.
Senator Vest of Missouri is having much
trouble nowadays. Covies of corncrackers
appear in the halls of the capitol every day
looking for Asher G.. Caruth of Louisville.
Nearly every covey runs against Vest, VINO
looks like Caruth's twin brother. They
annoy the life out of the senator by asking
him to drink, and telling him stories of the
tornado at Louisville. One of these covies
struck Vest the other morning when he was
not in the best of humor. The senator re-
fused to listen to them, saying:
"Don'u trouble me-. You have mistaken
me- l don't know you. You don't me.
I'm not Mr.. Caruth of Louisville"
At this one of the Kentuckians threw
back his hat, stuck his thumbs in the arm
holes of his waistcoat, looked Vest steadily
in the eye, and said:
well, jewhillikins, what old duffer are
you, anyhow"
Since then Vest has been threatening to
introduce a joint resolution into the Senate
providing for the labelling of Caruth, SO as
to escape further annoyance. Caruth in
sists that Vest himself ought to be labeled.
He claims that he is overrun with Bald
knobbers, relatives Of Jesse James and
three-card monte experts from Kansas
City, who mistake him for the senator and
annoy the life out of him.
Caruth. who is responsible for the Proctor
Knott incident, retails an old story and q
good one of ex-senator McCreary of Ken
lucky. That genial statesman is pre-emmi-
nently a man of the people. He was a
great favorite Washington, although he
knew little of the ''lah-de-dah-ism" of
society. Years ago he received an invita-.
ton to a tony dinner, accompanied with the
letters "R. s. V. Pr
The letters stumped him. He inquired of
a dozen assoc iates before he ascertained
their meaning. The invitation was
graciously accepted in a letter, adorned
with the letters IS. B. A. N"

He overhauled his dictionary of phrases
and initials, but could CLEAN no informa-

who asked McCreary for an explanation.

A COSTLY Observation-Disclosures
Conkling, writes Eli Perkins, came
into Charles O'Connor's office one

quite a nervous state.

O'Connor.
"Why, I defended Gibbons for ar

but | did hard work for him. l took
him to the superior court and he was
convicted, then on to the supreme
court, and the supreme court con
firmcd the Judgment and gave him
ten years. | charged him $4,000,
and now Gibbons is grumbling about
it-says it's too much. Now, Mr..
"Connor, I ask you, was that too
much ?"
"Wcll," said O'Connor, very de-
%liberately, "of course you did a good
deal of work, and $4,000 is not q
very big fee, but to be frank with
you, Mr.. Conkling, my deliberate
opinion is that he might have been
convicted for less money"

Wanted that boy, whatever his state.

Gentle and sweet, in q womanly way.

The Four Big Guns.
SII ALL WE HAVE PEACE?

We print below the views of the
Charleston World, Columbia Regis
tar, Charleston Nevs and Courier,
and the Grcenville Neaos, upon the
result of the recent election in South
Carolina, and the necessity for the
Democrats of the State to "gct to-
gether" before the election in 1892.
The Registe, says:
Our two Charleston contcmpora-
rics came to us yesterday with sound,
sensible talk about the situation.
The Charleston World classes the
people into three divisions. First,
those who hate the Governor elect
with a most hearty hatred. Of these
it says:
"Those who hate him, and there is
no doubt but in some quarters he is
the most intensely hated South
Carolinim that ever rose to authority
and command, will wait b%rcathlessly
for him to reveal himself rs they
have pictured him, the worst man in
the State Of South Carolina"
OF the second class, the admirers
of tho Governor elect, the World
says:
"On tho other hand, there is no
doubt but that thousands throughout
this State look up to him with a de-
votion that is intense, n trust which
is linlitlcss and an admiration which
is beyond all bounds, who glory in
his triumph and ask for nothing
else"
OF the third class, tho Wo1A2
most wisely takes cognizance in the
following striking words:
"But there is n third class, and it
embraces many more within it than
the Average observer would imagine,
and the members of this class, made up
of people of all classes, upon whose
action South Carolina depends, are
waiting to judge by his own works
the power for good or evil and the
purposes of this man, who, driving
Ike a storm cloud through the State,
has scattered his opponents, over
turned all opposition and politically
revolutionized the State.
"I'hey are waiting to gee how
Tillman will use the power and au-
thority which tho people have placed
in his hands and they will Judge him
by his acts"
Our contemporary is entirely right.
The third class does embrace many
more within it than tho average Oh.
serY1cT you'd imagine. Tie vote Of
this State possibly stands at 100 900
whites to $4,000 colored. In the re-
cent election not oyor 10000 of this
white vote was cast. That would

of the State, and as Governor i
presided oyerSthe executive depart
mont. I never was defeated IN any
race ever had, where the question
was to be determined by the popular
vote. 3
AS already stated, at nineteen
years Of age, in November, 1910, ii.
litsrate and without means, I left my
fathers farm, on foot, to go to an
academy to school. In November,
1857, just seventeen years later, /
was i%naugurated Governor OF Geor-
gia, being then a little over thirty
six years of age, and probably tho
youngest nan that had filed the
place.
If the example Is worth anything
to the youth of the State, my ego
tism will be pardoncd. The inten-
ton at least is right. What one boy,
under the circumstances mentioned,
has accomplished, may DO accom-
plisbcd by another, and if not to the
fullest degree, there may be many
approximations by boys of pluck,
energy and perseverance. The way
is open to every bright boy to bet
ter his condition. May you all de-
termine to do so. .'
