SIN the United States," says the
United States Consul at Malaga, Spain,
in his report, day laborers get from
81 to $3.50 per day, here 80 or 10 cents
per day; masons there get from So to
SO. so per day, here so or 60 cents per
day. American mechanics get $1S per
week, Spanish mechanics get S360 per
week." Some more proof of the fallacy
of the Free Trade argument that only
laborers in the Protected industries are
benefited by the Tariff.

The law requires that every child OF
proper age shall attend school, either
public, parochial or private, sixteen
weeks in the year, eight of which shall
be consecutive. Some persons have
put the construction upon the law that
the entire sixteen weeks should be con-
secutive, but the school commissioner
passed upon the law, and Lis decision
is that after eight consecutive weeks
have been put in children can be taken
out, providing the remaining eight
weeks of schooling is had before the
expiration of the year.

How we envy the people who can
ego away" whenever they want to, and
stay as long as they please. They can
spend SO little of their time at home
that the people never get tired of
them, or their faults. Every one is
sorry when they go, and rejoice when
they return. The Woodworking un-
fortunates who have to stay here every
day in the year, have to do twice as
much to win the liking of their neigh
bors as the man who goes away often.

Learning to Take it Easy.

''It docs not seem strange to me" "
said Ex-Congressman West to other
day, "why some business men cling
closely to business all their lifetime.
You laugh? Well, business is businss,
of course, and Ben Franklin knew
what he was talking about when he
said something about saving a penny
every time you got a chance. But what
1 mean to say is that business man
needn't be everlastingly drudging away
simply because he is making lots of
money. He should take holiday often,
and at times jolly long one."
Mr.. West stroked his big white beard
and looked up at the ceiling as siftrying
to count the roses in the frescoed
wreaths above the chandelier, and then
went on
"Rich men in business, no matter
whether they began business when
they were poor as church mice or
whether they had piles of money before
they got out Of their teens, are becom-
ing sensible nowadays. can count on
my fingers ends dozens of men who
twenty-five years ago never took a
week of in summer time even, who
were rich as Croesus years and years
before that, and yet who went to their
offices as early as they had to do when
they we1e clerking it; and they kept it
up until they toppled into their graves.
Why, l knew some New York business
men twenty-five years ago who had
never taken an ocean bath because they
had never seen the ocean beyond the
Battery. I know thing or two about
Saratoga, and, would you believe it,
last summer, 1 had as pleasant dsv as
lever spent in my life in Ballston with
a merchant of this city who haC -ot out
of town for a week for the first time
during the sixty years Of his active
business life? Yet that man had al
ways made his clerks go away for a
week every summer, with a weeks SAL
ary paid in advance.
Business men don't feel old now
adays because their hair is gray. They
don't save up for the boys by depriv-
ing themselves of needed recreation.
They take their share Of the jollities Of
life, too, and by jollities I don't mean
jags. And though they don't work as
many hours a day as their fathers
did, they manage to accomplish much
more

The Right Kind OF 2 Girl.

Let girl be ever so graceful in the
dance, let her be ever so elegant OF
walk across a drawingroom, ever so
bright in conversation, she must pos
sess some other qualities to convince
the great average run of young men
that she can be the manager of bis
home, the pilot that steers his ship Of
state, writes Edward W. Box in the
April Ladies' Home Journal. Frugality,
womanly instincts Of love for home, an
eye to the best interests OF her husband
and the careful training of ner children
these are the traits which make the
good wife Of to-day, and which young
men look for in the girls they meet.
Men may sometimes give the impress
sion that they do not care for common
sense in their sweethearts, but there is
nothing hey so unfailinsly demand of
their wives.

ESTABLISHED 1868.

"But, Governor, if ore one white
man in Berkeley has as much political
power in the State Convention as five
white men in Spartanburg, will not
thst breed dissatisfaction"
at the first blush it appears 10 be
wrong, but we must take things as we
fnd them. This same argument is
the stock in trade Of the :oraker-Sher-
map wing Of the Radical party, which
demand that the Southern electoral
vote and representation in Congress
shall be based on the votes cast, rather
than the population. They claim that
one white man in South Carolina has
thrSe times as much political power as
white man in Ohio or Kansas. Now,
if we, Ignoring all precedent and law,
recognize the justice of their argument
in orr party management, how are We
to expect that they will step agitating
along that line, and how would we
answer their orators in Congress and
on the stump? Representation in all
political bodies is based on the legal
representation according to population.
Where the conditions are so unequal
and the equilibrium that exists would
be so violently disturbed by a change,
cannot believe that such change
would add to the harmony and unity
of the party which seems SO dear to
these SAME patriots. 1t is s: matter for
the party to determine, and I am ready
to submit to the verdict of the people," !"

"OLD STONEWALL."
The Indelible Impression He Left on His
Soldiers.

Anyone who has read of General
"Stonewalp' Jackson must he an ad-
nlirer of bis sturdy manhood. He left
an impression on his soldiers that is
indelible. Mr. St. John, President of
the Mercantile bank, New York, relates
the following as in his own experience:
ga yea or two since he was on busi-
ness errand in the Shenandoah Valley,
in company with General Thomas
Jordan, ChiefofStafofG General Beaure-
gard, and at the close of a day they
found themselves at the foot Of the
mountains in a wild and lonely place,
where was no village and not even a
house, save rough shanty for the use
of the ''track-waiker" on the railroad.
1t YVES rather suggestive Of the suspici-
cious characters that lurk in out-of the
way places; yet here they were forced
to pass the night, and could find no
shelter but this solitary cabin, in which
they sat down to such a supper as could
be provided in this desolate spot. The
unprepossessing look of everything was
completed when the keeper of the sta
tion came in and took his seat at the
head of the table. A bear out of the
woods could hardly have been rougher
than he, with his unshaven beard and
unkempt hair. He answered to the
type of the border rufian, whose ap-
pearance suggests the dark deeds thai
might be done here ! . secret, and hid
den in the gloom Of the forest. Ina
gine their astonishment when this
rough backwoods-man rappe1 on the
table and bowed his head! And such a
prayer! Never, did I hear a petition
that more evidently came from the
heart. 1t was so simple, so reverent,
and SO tender, so full of humility and
penitence, as well as thankfulnes to
the Giyer ofall .ood! We sat in silence,
and as soon as could recover myself, I
whispered to my friend, who can be
be- to which he answered, 7 don't
know, but he must be one of Stonewall
Jackson's old soldiers And he was!
AS We walked out into the open air, I
accosted our new acquaintance, and,
after few questions about the country,
asked, Were you in the war" on,
yes,' he said with q smile, I was out
with old Stonewalln" Here, then, was
one of that famous "Stonewall Brig
ade," whose valor was proved on so
many a battle field. Such were the
men, now white with years and SCARED
with wounds, who last summer On the
anniversary of the battle Of Bull Run,
thronged the hill top at Lexington,
and wept at the unveiling Of the monu-
ment which recalled their old COM
mander."

TIE VERDICT.
A Case Where Justice was Blind Indeed
and OYerswift.

The court house at Naldron, Ark,
was crowded. = half suppressed mur-
mur through every crooked street il
the unpicturesque hamlet made it
known that the jury in the case OF the
State of Arkansas rs. Abner Ray were
ready to return their verdict. What
would it be? Did they believe the de-
fendant the murderer of John Potts?
AS if by magic the old and the young,
J the busy and the idle, the curious and
the indifferent had swarmed into the
court room until every foot uf space was
occupied.
Outside the languid air seemed tremu-
lous with the heat, and every leaf hung
limp and motion!ess. The sultry July
day was oppressive and the atmosphere
of the room so Sitting that those as
sembled gasped for breath. Tie scant
! furniture and bare floor, the rough,
wEitewashed walls and the ricketty
lamp with tin reflector sitting upon 4
little shelf behind the Judges chair, all
told the same story Of story Of noun
taineer simplicity and primitiveness. a
hag, bent with age, was. whispering the
story of the crime to her plump young
neighbor, and said that two witnesses
had identified the body found in Mill
Creek. The clerk nervously upset his
inkstand, and the black stain on the
white front Of his pine desk looked
ghastly.
The Judge ascended the little plat
form at the end Of the and bade the
| Sheriff clear an entrance for the jury
The struggling crowd was parted q
little way and twelve good and lawful
men filed in and stood facing the pris-
onec, who sat exposed to the gaze ofall.
His efforts to appear calm were pitiful.
Great drops of sweat rolled down his
swarthy cheeks and he clutched the
framework Of the chair on which he
sat. Ieu 1CeI UflCh VI 4ll!u SIOON u!o
sweetheart, the beauty Of the village,
sobbing softly and leaning upon her
father for support.
In thick, unsteady voice the fore
man read from the paper in his hand,
1--WE Of the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged in the within indict
ment.n
The condemned man rose from his
seat. His face was livid and his mus
cles rigid. He stretched out one hand
as though he would speak, and the
next moment fell forward almost at the
foreman's feet-dead! His sweetheart's
tears stopped falling and her white
lips quivered convulsively, but she
could neither cry out nor stir from her
tracks.
Half a dozen strong hands were
stretched out to lift the PROSTATE man,
when moved by common impulse,
though no syllable had been uttered,
every head was tuned and every eye
fixed upon the door.
John Potts had just stopped over the
threshold.

a WARNING.
How the Walhalla Republicans Stole =
March on the Democrats.
!Greeuyille NeWs.7

N. II. Bryce, the well-known Wal
halla Republican, stole march on the
Democrats Of that place last week and
the story will be of interest. H. A. II.
Gibson was some time ago elected in
tendant of the town. He decided to
move away and handed in his resigna-
ton. It was accepted and Thursday Of
last week was set as the time for an
election for his successor. On that day
the Democrats seemed to have forgot
ten the election and up to ? o'clock in
the afternoon only about eight votes
had been cast.
Bryce saw the state of affairs and
gathering about twenty-five of his fol-
lowers he marched them to the polls
Just before closing time and voted them
for himself for intendant. He had not
announced himself as candidate and
the Democrats were not expecting to
have such all "eninent citizen" for
mayor. They were taken completely
by surprise. Bryce's vote outnumbereG
those of the Democrats by a good ma
jority, and there was CONSERVATION
when it was known that hs would
be inteudant unless something was
done
On Monday of this week the Demo-
Gratis contested the election and showed
that three illegal votes had been cast
for Bryce. The election was according
ly declared off because of fraud and
nobody was counted as elected. A new
election has been ordered and it is safe
to say that Bryce will not get another
chance to work his game.
Bryce's followers are exultant over
his trick. It is said that he will use his
alleged election to show his popularity
to the Washington authorities. Wana-
maker recently removed him as post
master at Walhalla because of COM
plants that he was bad man.

A Story Of Cleveland.
ISt. Louis Republic. I


"Cleveland is one of the greatest
sticklers for being exactly right and
doing exact justice I ever saw" said
prominent politician from Summer,
Tenn, to The Man About Town. "Not
long after he became President two
men were recommended to be Post
master of town down there, one by
the people, the other by the Congress
man Of the district. In due time we
saw the Congressman's recommended
ton was to be sent to the Senate on a
certain day. The people were angry.
The man recommended by theCongress-
man was unpopular, and, though veal
thy, had let his 37-year Old mother die
in poor hours. The other was one of
the most respected men in the COM
munity. It was decided to send a de-
legation to ask the President to with
draw the appointment. We went first
to Danl Manning and provided for an
audience with the President. When
we filed into his office Grover was hard
at work with his coat off. He shook
hands cordially and did not apologize
for having his coat off. We stated our
mission. He said: Gentlemen, I am
now to this place and have to rely on
the Congressmen, but this is serious
charge and backed by petition with
5000 names attached must mean some
thing. I will consider it at once
"He sent right off for that Congress-
man and when be came said: Mr.,
I have received all your recommends
tions and tried to oblige you. Now here
is one in which want you to oblige
me. This man whom you recommended
and l have appointed does not seem to
enjoy the confidence Of his people. The
Democratic administration does not
want those kind Of Postmasters. I
want you 10 oblige NE in allowing a
withdrawal OF that Game.' It was
withdrawn"

4 Story Showing Many Things.

From the Youths Companion.]
During the agrarian riots, which dis
turbed England in 1892, mob of rick
burners and machine breakers ap-
peared at the old mansion Of two elder
ly maiden ladies. The walls of the hall
were decorated with suits Of armor and
antique weapons-pikes, haiberds, bat
tie axes and swords. The mob clamored
for the weapons and for drink. The la
dies refused their demands, and when
the mob seemed rea~, resort to vio-
lence Miss Bette, the elder Of the ladies,
went up to the leader, hideous look
ing man, and said:
"You, too, of ali the people in the
world! I'm not surprised at these poor
misguided creatures. But that such a
good looking, intelligent man "a you
should attack two Gefenceless women
does astonish me. You are the man I
should have looked to for protection.
But you are not the man I took you
for. Never again will / trust to good
looksr'
There was no standing up against
that compliment. The man took of
his hat and said "Come, old lady, we
amt SO bad as all that; only give US
some beer. We would not harm q hair
of your head"
NO: I know that.' retorted Miss
Betty. "Iou can't; : wear a wig"
The mob roared with laughter and
retired without another word.

An Egyptian Curiosity.

In July, 1881, there were discovered
in the a.: cient city of Tbebes, the num-
mics Egypt's mightiest Pharaohs,
among them that of Rameses the
Great. There were also found seals,
coins, stattuettes, preserved food, and a
few rolls ST papyrus, some Of the latter
being of great value, curiously bound
together, and, notwithstanding the
mould and mildew of ages upon them,
as easily read as if written yesterday.
A queer little book entitled, "a Night
with Ramases H." has been executed
so cleverly, that the oxydized seal, sug-
gestion of mould, antique coloriDg, and
partially decayed and ragged-edged
papyrus carry at once to the mind the
possession of veritable relic from the
dawn of civilization. Mailed to any
address on receipt of 6 cents in stamps,

The total is as follows:

"And We find that fourteen counties
containing only l79,026 Of the co!ored
population would overbalance twenty
one which are compelled to control
513,4T negroes; or Spartanburg, enti-
tied to fourteen votes il convention,
would overbalance Beaufort, Berkeley,
Fairfield, Georgetown and Sumter, en-
titled to fifty votes in convention, and
yet have 80 votes to spare.
"By deducting the population OF
these fourteen counties from the total
white and colored population Of the
State, we efnd that these fourteen coun-
ties, containing only 10000 Of the col
ored population, would overbalauce
twenty-one counties. which are COM
PEELED to control $4,000 negroes, or
that Spa1tanourg, entitled to fourteen
votes in the Convention, would in q
primary overoalance Beaufort, Berke-
ley, Fairfield, Georgetown and Sum
ter, entitled to fifty votes in the con-
ventiou, and Yet have 759 votes TO
spare. Ecu see ST once that direct
primary would utterly destroy the po-
litical equilibrium Of the State. It
would do more. The Democrats in the
heavy negro counties who are now
asked to adopt this system OF fnominat-
ing State officers will be expected to
control lie colored vote in their re-
spective counties and send Democrats
to the Legislature, although they
would never have & chance to obtain
any of the State offices by reason Of a
small white vote. Is it either reason
able or just? I don't think so, and
hence my change ofopinion."
