INSURE YOUR HIVES.

1t is hardly worth while to try to
impress the public with the impor-

ii question of ability with the maiori,

very few who are able refusing. The
next point is the selection of Com

Life Association has been the choice,

now more Insurance in force in this

OF those who need Insurance most,

none and equalled by few. In fact,

Mr. O'Keefe, the Ancient Seneschal Of the

COLUMBIA, December 26.-It has
been stated; but very unoficially,
that Mr.. O'Keefe, the ancient sen
eschal of the State Capitol, had been
removed from the Office which he
has held so long and filed so well.
This was an error. Mr.. O'Kee'e has
been night watchman at The State
House since 1854, and when he saw
the announcement in the--that
he had been removed, he very quiet
ly and appropriately remarked: Il
don't believe it."
Speaking to a reporter: for the
News and Courier a day or two ago,
he said that he had only heard once
before--in 1S74-that he was about
to be removed, and then, as now, he
"didn't believe it."
The Republicans intended to re-
move him, but Beverly Nash said he
be-if they. could, and that he
would have he man pitched out of
the window who proposed it.
"And that was the TRUTH" said
Mr.. O'Keefe, "and I tell you there
were some very soft stones under the
windows in those days for fellow to
fall on"
Mr.. O'Keefe is so years of age
and has head full Of interesting re-
miniscencs.

at differeot points, which is some
times necessitajed by the fact that
the cars are not always in perfect
alignment, and when they are brough hit
together to be coupled out Of align
ment ION a curve, for instance, if
one notch does not catch the other
will.
In constructing the draw heads
! the smaller one has a central link
throat to receive an ordinary link
coupling, which is engaged by pin
extending vertically through the
draw-head. To give passage to this
link the middle part of the coupling
jaw is cut away. The upper and
lower sections OF this coupling-jaw,
above and below this opening, are
provided with pin holes for receiving
link-pin; but he prefers to use the
link in the throat of the w-bar,
as it finds there a more solid anchor
age and is less liable to be lost. The
other drawhead, which is made of
greater vertical depth, is provided
with two link -throats and a coupling
pin, and its couplng-jaw has two
openings. This provision permits
the shallow drawhead to be coupled
either against the upper or lower
part of the deeper drawhead, and
thus permits cars of different heights
to be coupled. For uncoupling the
cars the rear end of one or both of
the detents is forced inwardly. This
may be accomplished by hand, or it
may be accomplished by rod and
hand lever, extending downwardly
from fulcrum-point on the car. For
passenger cars this lever would be
re. ersed, i, e., it would extend up
wardly f:om the drawhead. O. MGR.
Holmes, of the firm of Holmes &
Harris, one of the assignees of the
inventor, is an extensive dealer in
cotton and fertilizers, doing business,
as before stated, in Newberry, S. G.
Mr.. W. H. Harris is a mechanic of
genius, boing business also in New
berry. Since The issue of letters
patent upon the coupler they have
improved it, making itmor thorough
ly automatic. As it is now, when a
car is uncoupled and left so, the in
stant the car moves opt it sets itself
again for coupling without aid, and
in this particular it is the only one
that is so automatic.
We strongly commend this inven-
ton to the careful consideration of
the Master Car Builders Association,
as well as to that of railroad COM
panies everywhere. There is no
doubt but in this device all the re-
quirements of the case either from a
mechanicle or a commercial point of |
view are fully net. The firm are re-
ceiving letters in reference to the
patent from all over the country,
but they have not yet definitely de- !
termined how they will place it upon
the market. If they could be in
duced to dispose of it, there would
be a great chance for some syndicate
with half a million or so to achieve a
magnificent success.

more or less iaJured. $4,000 houses, at
least, were laid in ruins, and nearly
half a million people made homeless.

and many people were lost in. them
