A POSTPONED DUEL
The Ready Wit of One of the Principal
 the Cfnse.

The Ready Wit of One of the Principals
 the Cause.
 A prominent gentleman of this city was speaking of dueling, and in the course of the conversation told the. fol- lowing, says the Augusta (Ga-) Herald:
 Some years ago there nuurished in Virginia a politician who was always getting into trouble. He had been chal- lenged time and again, and he always went when csiiieti on, for inc was game.
 He never would shoot at his antago- mist. however, and luckily escaped be- ing hit. Finally he was called out by a lame man ard went, of course
 The dueHng ground lay beside the public road, where a large mile post told the distance to the city. The man with the game leg drew the stand next to this post, and he asked as favor that he be allowed to lean against if when he shot
 This was granted by his polite antag- onist, and the principals were ordered to take their positions, when the other one said ''6entlemen, have granted the request of my antagonist to lean against that mile post while he shot, and now have favor to ask. Would the gentleman object to my leaning against the next mile post?' This ready wit put everybody in good hu- nor and the fight was immediately postponed.

A Last Call.

Before the PRosPEcToR shall have made it's visit again to many points in the county, the election will have pass cd and the result determined. The importance of the great question at stake is paramount to sll others that have been before the people in Ariso- mas history. The questioE. ss simply whether Arizona shall become state or remain a territory. There are a few narrow. minded p Jliticians of both parties who are opposed 10 it. With one or two exceptions they have been ashamed to openly announce their opposition. Such men in this county as Col. wm- Herring, c, w. Cheyney J. E, Montandon, John c. Fall, J. V. Vickers and Marcus A. Smith, are prominent in their advocacy of the change. We mention their name sim ply to disapprove the assertion that il is a democratic dodge, to feather the nests of A few aspiring politicians. IL does not matter to us whether every office be filled by republican or on the other hand by 8 deuoerat. We want statehood; the question of poli- ties cuts no figure with thoSe who work for what they get in this life. It is not question of majority simply, we want A majority that will leave no doubt oi our universal desire to come into the union. From now on let us all work for the goal which is right in our grasp. Our enemies are on A still hunt and although they are to cow ardly to show their hands, they are quietly working to defeat us. Our fight for statehood has been an open one; theirs has been 6 sealed book ours has been challenge broad and loud our cause has been right; their's wrong one; ours has been fight for the general prosperity theirs of per sonal agrandisement.

A FROG HANDSPRING.
The Average Horse Ruined by the Way
 His Hoof Is Treated.

The Average Horse Ruined by the Way
 His Hoof Is Treated.
 You often see a horse hobbling around on its toes and with stiff front legs. It has always been a surprise to me that the Humane society did not take up some of these eases. says a horseshocr in the St Louis Globe Democrat, investi- gate them and punish the people at fault There is only one way to shoe a horse, and the men in the business would, of course, prefer doing it that way, properly. 4 great many horse owners. however, imagine that they know all about it, and they insist that the shoe be put on so as to lift the rear of the hoef up high enough to prevent the frog fnoIn touching the ground We may argue the case, but that is about all the good it does We have to put the shoe on in accordance with the ideas of the owner. The fact is that the frog is the handspring Of the animal
 It is soft and elastic. and apparently more easily injured than the harder sub stsnc. of the hoof, but for all that it is the one part that should be utilized. if it wasn't for use it wouldn be there. Lift it from the ground and you find your animal walking on his toes. Gradually his legs begin to stiffen, and finally the three bones in his forclegs become one solid bone, and there is no more movement of them than if the horse was waking on stiIts. IL IS just about the same as allowing pair of hinges to remain out in the weather until they become rusteG solid, except that with the hinges you can break the rust of, oil them up and work them. But with the horcs's leg you can never separate the bones again.

WINTER BATHING.
Daily Piange- Into lee Water With the
 Temperature at Zero

Daily Planges Into Ice Water With the
 Temperature at Zero
 A correspondent of the Buffalo Com mercial recalls an experience of winter bathing with several comrades in the central part of the state some twenty years ago. It was more than fire quently" that we indulged in an open air winter bath; it was a daily institn- tion from autumn till the following spring time, zero tempeEature not daunting. The bathing place was kept open by cutting and removing the ice as often as necessary. The daily bats was abandoned after the ice disap- peared, because the zest and glow of the reaction were missed. The bath, as may be imagined, was bold plunge, a seconds disappearance, and then hasty retreat to shelter for the vigor- ous application of crash towel It may be supcrfluous to say that there was no dawding between the towel ap- plication and the donnfng of the warm suit that had been thrown of a moment before. IL was sought, l remember, to extract as much fun and good humor as possible from the exercises by intro ducing often some little competitive scheme. For instance, the one whc could emerge from the icy plunge with the hroadest and blandest smile wreathing his features was rewarded with vociferous braves from the group of onloolzers. Suffice il to say that the smiles" were often quite forced and artificial, but were not the less provoe- ative of merrimeut in the spectators. The bathers laughed at pneumonia am all kindred ailments that flesh is hei te. If any caution were needed i might be added that tonicS of the abOv kind are for those only who enjoy TO bust health.

pREss1Ey EoLAR RUFF, NJ. d.

The death of DR.. P. B. Ruff, on Sun
day last, removes from our midst
another of the old landmarks Of New
berry. He was one Of the oldest, If not
the oldest, citizen in the county. he
was born on the 25th of December, lsol,
and died on Sunday, December q, 1851.
He was a native of this county and
spent nearly his whole life here.
DR.. Ruff: was in many respects a
most remarkable man, and deserves
more than a passing notice.
In his youth he was considered the
sickly member of the family and yet
he outlived all the rest. Out Of seven
brothers, five lived beyond the allotted
age of three-score years and ten, and
three were. past four-score years when
the summons came. DIR. Ruff was
twice married. His first wife died in
1850, and his second about three years
ago. He buried all of his seven chill
dren and only one grandchild, Mrs. E..
II. Aull, and three great-grandchildren
survive him.
He began the practice of medicine in
Newberry County in 1882, having grad
uated from the South Carolina Medical
College, Charleston, on the 2lst March
of that year, and for more than half a
century was actively engaged in the
practice of his profession. He enjoyed
a large and lucrative practice and was
considered among the best physicians
of his day.
A half century spent in minister
ing to the suffering and in alleviating
pain, is more than most men can claim
for their work on earth. Who can
estimate the good that an honest, faith
full and benevolent physician can ac-
complish in a life devoted to his pro-
fession. To minister to the suffering
in the sanctity of the sick room, how
very near the sacredness OF that nlgner
ministry of pastoral care, when the
imperial traits Of the true physician
are manifest! Such life was that OF
DR.. P. B. Ruff. But it has ended, a. all
things earthly, and he has been gath
cred to his fathers.
For the past three years, since the
death of his wife, his life has necessa-
rily been lonely, and he wss only wait
ing for the summons.
Eis funeral service was held in the
Methodist church on Tuesday morn
ing, after which his body was laid to
rest in the family burying ground at
the old cemetery along with the other
members Of his family.

AN EDITOR REMEMBERED

It is always pleasant to know that
ones labors areappreciated. We often
think we make great mistake not to
let those who labor among US and Tor
our good, know that we appreciate
what they are doing. A kind WORD
fitlv spoken is often a great encourage
ment to greater achievement, and II
costs so little, and is so often withheld
when it could be sincerely and honestly
spoken.
The editor of the Greenville News,
who was in Columbia during the Sit
ting of the Legislature, wrote some ad-
mirable articles for his paper, and was
particularly strong and eloquent in his
advocacy of the reelection of Hamp-
ton. On his return home, the ladies OF
Greenville, in appreciation of this
advocacy presented him with a hand
some Office chair and a beautiful gold
pen.
This was very nice in these ladies
and we feel sure Editor Williams duly
appreciates it. We congratulate him
on the reception Of this token OF es-
TEEN and appreciation on the part OF
his home folks. He richly deserves it..

HIS REASONS.

Governor Tillman in his veto mes
sage of the railroad bill assigns two rea'
sons for the veto. First, one ofthe planks
in the platform of the March ConVen'
tion recommends that these officers be
elected by the people, and on this plat
form he was elected and still stands
Second, the bill as it stands permits
the railroads to appeal to the courts
from the decisions of the commission
ers, and in so doing places the jurisdic'
ton in the hands of one man.
The bill was passed by IN overwhelm'
ing majority in both houses. The
Senate refused to sustain the veto py
vote of 25 to 5. In the House the mem
bers seemed to be inclined to do the
bidding OF the Governor and the veto
was sustained by vote of so to-

THE CHIEF JUsTICEsHIP.

The death of Chief Justice Simpson
of the Supreme Court seems to have
complicated matters little, and the
LAWYERS who have been giving opinions
seem to differ, as lawyers will. No
opinion has yet been published or given
by Acknowledgement Pope who is the
legal adviser of the Governor, neither
has there been any information of Gov.
Tillman as to what course he will pur-
sue in regard TO the vacancy. There
are only two things that the Governor
can do. One is to call an extra session
of the Legislature for the purpose OF
electing a successor to Judge Simpson,
and the other is to let the vacancy re-
main until the meeting of the Leglsla-
ture next November. 1t seems to be
yery clear that the vacancy connot be
filled by executive appointment for the
for the constitution provides that the
executive can only appoint when the
vacancy is for period less than one
wear. To call an extra session OF the
Legislature would cost the State Slo,ooo
or sl5,O0O. We do not believe there IS
such urgency for the filling OF this
vacancy as to incur the trouble and eS-
pense of an extra session. The constl-
tuition provides that two OF the court
shall constitute 6! quorum and only the
concurrence of two is necessary to rem
der judgment. If it should happen
that they did not concur the case would
have to 90 over We presume. One ar
oument in favor of having Chief JUS
tice at once is that the business OF the
court now is already very much crowded
and the work keeps three Judges right
busy. But as to the legality OF the
court with the Chief Justice dead, 1t IS
the opinion of very able lawyers that
there is no question aboutit.
The best thingto dois to let the mat
ter 90 over to the regular assembling
of the Legislature.
