Ing regularly HouilldIeo dhu oAeNeeA
Democrats with being Third Party
ties.
He also called special attention to
the fact that the Haskell movement
and It's adherents called to their sup
port the Republican negroes OF the
State to overthrow the regular De-
mocracy.
This, of course, is only avery brief
synopsis of Senator Irby's remarka-
bly,, clear, logical and impressive de-
fense of the Democracy as it is now
organized in South Carolina. He
challenged contradiction of any state
ment he bad made, and said he was
personally responsible for any allu-
sion or facts brought out in the
course of his remarks. He spoke
distinctly, but impetuously. Those
who heard him say that his speech
was sufficient 70 establish his repu-
tation as an eloquent and logical rea-
soner and speaker. He handled the
subject and the accusers with gloves
off.
There was, OF course, good deal
of heat in all of the discussions, but
the personalities will probably be
soon forgotten.
Senator Butler, who was invited
by Senator lrby, in Difference to his
seniority, to speak before him de-
clined, and closed the debate. He
expressed his regret that the differ
ence should have arisen, that here
tofore he had not interfered with
local patronage, but ne charged that
+ he had been treated Discriminatory
by Strait and I.atimer, in their fail
ure to give his communications con-
sideration.
DR.. Strait asked him if he consid-
cred him straight Democrat.
Senator Butler replied that Strait
must vindicate bis own Democracy.
Strait said he did not care whe-
ther Butler endorsed it or not.
Messrs. Hemphill and Johnstone
in reply said that they advocated
Tillman in their speeches after his
nomination, to which Senator 1rby
reioined that it was the first that he
had heard Of it.
The official record will be given to
Postmaster Bissell tomorrow even.
ing. 1t is generally believed here
from utterances of the Postmaster
that he cannot fail to see the cor
rectness of the position set forth by
the State Chairman Of South Caro-
lima and to remove Messrs. Strait
and Latimer from the blacklist.

An Eco SEcREr.-The great secret
OF securing eggs is really no secret,
says The -4mericas Fa77aer, for
every experienced person knows that
everything depends upon the condi-
tions. 1t is not always the breed or
the feed that makes the hen lay. The
main point is not to make laying
hens fat. If you have hens for the
market that are to be fattened,
remove your laying hens. Keep the
market hens confined closely, but
keep your laying hens at work. The
secre. Gf it is secret of making
hens lay is to have them always busy
at scratching. 1t is something they
should be compelled to do from the
time they corne off the roost in the
morning until they go on again at
night. The laying hen is scratch
ing hen. The idle, lazy hen never
lays. Do not forget the fact.

Too Good a Preacher.

"Well, YOU see, bepreached a trial
sermon onc,1z1ttraIlon c,z,1ttraIlon, and every unre-
pentant sinner in the audience came
up and joined the church. So we
engaged him. The next Sunday he
preached on the duty OF marriage,
and every old bachelor and widower
in the congregation hooked on to an
old maid and was married before
Saturday night. He got a fve-dol-
lar fee ouc Of every couple. But the
worst came last Sunday. He preached
upon the duty OF giving all TO the
Lord, AMI l hope r.ay never die II
two deacons didn't sprain their backs

4 Sord In Derel : Of the Ladies.

In Tile Baptist, of recent date, DR..
w. E. Hatcher, has word in defence
of the ladies who give suppers and
other entertainme is for raising
money for church purposes. He
says:
If ladies can get up dress making
establishments, and by hard Toll make
money by it for themselves, of course
it is equally proper for Christian
ladies to make aprons, dresses, col
lars and other such things ard sell
them, and put the gains thereof in
the treasury Of the Lord-that is, if
they are willing to do it. If man
chooses to start an eating house, and
stew and fry and broil and roast
things, and then sell them to those
who wish to buy, OF course he has
the right to do it, even though he
put the profits in his own pocket.
And if lot of godly women choose
to bake, stew, roast or broi! a lot OF
things, then sell them at q fair price,
get the money and give it 20 the
cause of Him whom they love SO
much, way, of course they have q
right to do it. This is so plain that
a wayfaring man, (evenif he has way
Jared over several continents), though
a good Christian, need not be SO
blind as to see anything wrong in a
work like this
The ladies, OF course, know that
some good people will carp and
sneer at them for making money in
this way, but they (the ladies' have
ever so much good sense, and they
will not De moved by the scowls of
the unperceiving. Coon, dear labor
ers, for the Master, and make all the
money you can. Fry, bake, boil,
broil, stew and roast, scramble, scol-
lop, freeze, toast, and if there be
other ways of makin. ,ood things to
eat, adopt them at once, and have
your snppers, earn your money and
give it to the Lord, and He will bless
you. II the Pharisees and sinners
come and ask Cor supper (bad as they
are they have to eat), give them
good measure, charge them rea-
sonable price and put the proceeds in
the Lords treasury and you will
have good conscience as long as
you live.

SAVED THE CHURCH.
An Incident Of Jay Gould's Life.

An interesting incident in the life
of the late Jay Gould has beer told.
The little wizard was under unfa-
vorable discussion when Mr. ,aood-
tiieh interrupted with relation
which silenced all.
During the construction Of the
Texas Pacific Railway" said Mr..
Goodrich, "Mr. Jay Gould and Mr..
Sidney Dillon were on tour of in
spection. Their train was side
tracked in certain town, with the
regular passenger waiting for wild
freight to come in. The passengers
were told by the conductor that at
least two hours would elapse before
they would run again, and that we
could go up town and see the sights
of prairie town in the staked plains.
ssAfr. Gould and Mr.. Dillon, with
their attendants, also took in the
town. Clang! clang!! rang out the
mournful dirge of an auctioneer's
bell. "What am l offered? What
am l offered? q Fifteen hundred,
$500
"Mr. Gould stepped up to a by
stander and asked what the sale was
for. The tall Texan, in his Mexican
sombrero in silver and gilt, his buck
skin suit and long moustache and
imperial, the toy of the hot blast,
the CLINT and shine of his Colts A
sparkling in the sun, the handles OF
his daggers above his boot tops, made
a picturesque figure that only a
Texan ranger can be in his native
Pan Handle, as he ranges down by
the Rio Grande.
"sPard, this be an Knockout for
the parson,' said the ranger to Mr..
Gould, Mr.. Dillon an intent listener
the meanwhile to the conversation.
>" 'In what way, pard ? said Mr..
Gould to the ranger, using the famil-
lar expression of the plains.
'Pard, yer see, the parson built
that church, the tin petered out.
The contractor is selling the whole
crowd out for his coin. Pard, I'll
chip in and help the parson with the
bank I busted last night Here Re
pulled out from every pocket gold
and silver coin until his hat was full
of the yellow and white metal.
"AIr. Gould, not even looking into
the hat at its contents, so intent was
he in a train of thought that was
occupying his own mind the mean
while, stepped up to the auctioneer
and asked for the contractor, who
was closing out his lien. The auc-
tioneer pointed out the man. Mr..
Gould approached the man and
asked him the amount of his claim.
"ss1,7OO and costs
asWhat will you take in settle:

aI will settle for s1,5eo and do

What Coed Roads Would Mean.

They would make it possible for
the farmers to take advantage
promptly OF the highest market, no
matter what season of the year.
They would save him days and
weeks of time which he wastes every
year wallowing through the disgust
INC mire OF dirt roads.
They would reduce to minimum
the wear and tear on wagons and
carriages.
They would lessen the expense in
keeping horses in working order, and
vastly less horses would be required
in the country to do the farmers
work.
They would require less expense
to keep them in repairs than the dirt
roads.
They would make it easier for a
team to pull several tons over their
smooth surface than to drag wagon
through the mud.
They would afford early communi-
cations with the outside world at all
times of the year.
They would spare the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand
for country and suburban property.
They would be free from dirt in
summer and mud ruts in the fall, win
ter and spring.
They would bring every farming
community into closer social rela-
tons.
They would make an evenings
drive pleasure instead of a vexa-
tion, as it is now.
They would do away with the
absurd poll tax and supervision sys-
TEN in places where it is still in use.
They would be, in short, the best
possible investment to the taxpayer
if built and cared for by the national
government and paid for by national
tax.
All these they would do unless
experience goes for naught.

SAVED BY A WOMAN.
The Escape Of Col. John C. Underwood
in Kentucky.

met Col. John y. Y nderWOod, OF
kentucky, who was in the city on a
business trip the other day, and found
him to be one of the most delightful
conversationalists | ever met, says
writer in the Boston Globe. After
we had chatted awhile IN regard to
politics and kindred topics Of the
day, my eye CHANGED to faH on a
square button, which he wore in the
lapel of his coat. 1t was a rather
pretty affair, wish red field and a
full cross, upon which were dotted
small gilt stars.
oThat," he said, ais the badge OF
the Confederate Veteran Associa-
ton. 1t is an exact representation
of the late Confederate battle-fag-
l have the honor to be commander
OF the Northern department OF the
order.
81 was Lieutenant Colonel OF
Kentucky cavalry regiment con-
tirued Col. Underwood. "Our com
mand was in East Tennessee, and
one bright moonlight night I con-
cluded to ride away from camp and
take a look about tie vicinity l
rode several miles, and, coming to a
farmhouse, hitched my horse and
knocked at the door. a young lady,
the most beautiful | had ever seen,
it seemed to me, appeared after
awhile and invited me in. She and
her aged mother were the only occu-
pants of the house, the men OF the
family being in the Confederate army.
We chatted pleasantly for few min
utes, when my fair hostess arose and
said:
Colonel, you ran a great risk in
leaving your horse in such an exposed
position; the Yankee pickets are all
about us. l will go and put him in
the barn
"She left the room and after few
minutes returned, when we resumed
our conversation. Suddenly she
started up and listened.
Colonel, you must go now she
exclaimed. 4 heard the sound of
horses hoofs: the Federals are CON-
ing
Brushing out of doors, she led my
horse to the back of the house, and
l, following her, jumped on his back.
The most natural thing for me to
have done would have been to set
spurs to him and get away as soon
as possible. But | could not. l was
young and impressionable and the
situation was enhancing. The moon
shed a silver light upon the earth, a
gentle breeze was stirring, and the
rustic of the leaves in the grand old
trees was like music to my soul. And
amid these enchanting surroundings
beautiful face with fearful eyes
looked up into mine, beseeching me
to hasten. l could not resist the
temptation, and STOPPING from my
horse, put my arm around her, drew
her closer to my side AMI kissed her.
GAS / did SO a shower OF bullets
passed over my head. One OF them
went through the rim of my hat. I
was in full sight Of company of
Federal horsemen. No other warn
ing was necessary. My horse real
lied the danger as well as L, and a
race for life ensued. The enemy
pressed hard upon me for time, and
more than once their bullets grazed
my head, but fortune favored me,
and I at. length reached the Confede-
rate. lines in safety. Do you won
4aer that I remember when a kiss
saved my life?"

SARATOGA CH1rs.-Saratoga chips
or fried potatoes are prepared in
thin, paperlike slices, and crisped,
but not burned, in hot fat. The Sc
cret of preparing them properly lies
in cutting them FIRST in the thinnest
slices possible, and soaking them for
at least six hours in ice water. This
last process draws the starch out of
the potato, and is positively neces-
sary to success.
