WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Irby
made quick manoeurre te.day. He ar.
rived here this morning at o'clock, and
left again tonight at IL. The Junior SEN
ator is hustler when he starts. He Wis
tied every department, and did more
walking to-day than the average Con-
gressman does in week. He called on
the President at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
and had nearly an hours interview. He
discussed South Carolina affairs, and
feels satisfied, he says. at the result. He
stuck knife in Ben Perry and got even
for the latter's recent sarcastic Telegram.
"You may say one thing as certain" he
said, "Perry will not be the next Collec-
tor of South Carolina"
The Senator put in coed word for
McCalla, and urged John T. CASTOR for
Marshal. He also took bout in the in
terest of Earle for the attorneyship. He
says he did all the harm he could to those
who do not agree with him.
Senator Irby called on Secretary La
mont and had Lieut.. Donaldson, at pres
ent commandant of cadets at Patrick g
Military Institute, Anderson, transferred
to Clemson College. The change will be
made at once.
The Senator called on the Sergeant
of-arms of the Senate and secured places
for three of his constituents, at salary
Of $3.50 each. He refused to say whom he
had appointed to these places.
He also called on Postmaster General
Bissell and secured the appointment of
T. e. Harris, in place Of T. B. Anderson,
as postmaster at Waterloo.
Congressman Brawley called on the
Secretary Of the Treasury to-day to see if
Bob Smalls would be removed from the
collectors Office at Beaufort. Mr.. Car
Isle had previously written Mr.. Brawley
to call and name successor to Smalls.
When he did so to-day, the Secretary
said that the President had decided to let
Snalls hold over until tho end of his
term, from the date Of his commission.
Congressman Rrawley had Mrs. w. D.
Porcher appointed postmaster at Fort
Motto and H. N. Fair at St. Matthews.
The postmaster at st. Georges will hold
over until the end of his term.

He Is out Of Politics.

Last night reporter of the NeaOs called
on Congressman G.. w. Shell at the resi-
dence Of w. D. Metts, on Whitner street.
Captain Shell is In fine health and seems
to have little care or trouble Judging from
his personal appearance. The reporter
opened up on politics as matter ofcourse.
The captain smiled pleasantly, but re-
marked:
"You remember, I announced in Jam
nary that was out of politics. I want to
re-affirm whut then said. am out OF
politics. 1t is strange this cannot be un-
derstood."
There was something of pathetic tone
to his voice as he said:
"I wanted to retire from public life
quietly, carrying with me the kind feel
ing and good will of my fellow citizens;
I wanted to retire gracefully and
peacefully. But it seems that I am not
understood, SO Isay to you tonight, I am
no'longer in politics and 1 wish this un-
derstood."
The reporter asked him if he had seen
the two contradictory statements publish
ed in the Columbia Journal, interviews
with two Tillmanites, one affirming that
he was true blue Tillmanite and the
other that he was traitor and would be
bounced out of the reform party. He re-
piled that he had not seen the articles and
In consequence could not express any
opinion in regard to them.
:" What about the bitter attack Of the
Reqister 2" asked the reporter.
He smiled pleasantly, thought mo-
ment and replied:
swell, to tell the truth, am not
advised as to the motives of the Regis
ter in making gratuitous attack upon
me-"
Hes,tating a moment, Captain She'll
raised his hand and with quick utterance
said:
"I am to-day as much welded to the
reform movement as was in 1888 when
I was elected president of the Farmers's
association. No man can deny this.
When had the management OF the re-
form moveme ent I considered it in
strong and healthy condition. To those
who have charge Of the movement wish
great success 1t does seem strange that
my loyalty to party which had con-
doubted at this late day. But these
doubts can exist only in the minds of
those who are embittered by jea'Qusy. 1
have tried to do my duty in congress,
fairly and conscientiously, and now am
out Of politics."
Captain She'll seems to feel relieved
by the idea OF being out of the politi-
cal arena and he will evidently enjos
observing the making and breaking of
states, and the tussle for places and pow
or.
Captain She'll was given a drive over
the city in about the handsomest landau
in town by prominent citizens who have
been we'll known as supporters of his
and many of them gathered around him
in the streets or called upon him.-Green-

Farewell to the Jalep.

Editor Blackb burn, of the Atlanta Euen-
iaag Herald, is moved by our dispensary
law to the production of the following
prose poem
"Impenetrable gloom has settled over
She State of South Carolina and there is
weeping and waiting and gnashing Of
teeth. In the Palmetto State you must
take your liquor as the crow flies.
"The mixologist has been banished,
and with him goes the mahogany, the
mirrors, the cut glass, the glare, the
glitter and the fancy drinks that the
world has been inventing for thousands
of years.
@sonth Carolina has gone back to first
principles,
"No more shall the tinkle, tinkle, tin
kle of the ice keep company with the
fragrance of the mint, nor the treasures
of tho brown bees mingle with the dews
of the orchard, nor the gin-fizz, nor the
whiskey sours, nor the sherry cobblers,

miah.

All You Can Carry.

We pointed out, few days ago when
the latest Rules" Of the State board of
control we're published, that some mis-
apprehension and confusion was likely
to arise in consequence of tho failure of
the board to specify in Rule just what
into the Sta:e on railroad train without
incurring the official suspicion of bring
ing it in for the purpose of sale.
The rule, it will be remembered, read
as follows:
"Rule 5. Liquors purchased beyond the
limits Of the State may be brought into
the State and transported by public carri-
ers as personal baggage in charge of the
passenger who owns the same, provided
that it be not in such quantity as to indi-
cate that it is for sale."
On Saturday the board caused this rule
to be enlarged by the addition of an ex-
planatory cause, Us follows:
"Personal baggage as used above means
such packages as are Carried by hand into
the cars"
So that thu rule is perfectly plain now.
Under the Oispensary law, as 1t is Off
cially construed and declared by the
State boarG of control, person may
purchase outside the State and bring into
the State or. railroad, ''as his personal
baggage" any package" of intoxicating
liquor which he can carry by hand into
the cars" Almost any man ought to be
able to carry FIVE gallon demijohn. A
ten gallon keg with ease. Men of
exceptional muscle ought to be able to
carry q twenty gallon keg. All depends
on your carrying capacity. You can
purchase in Augusta, for instance, and
take home with you on the train just as
much Whiskey as you can carry by
hand into tae cars" without subjecting
yourself to the slightest penalty or inter-
ference. For the State board Of control
have said 1t, and they are the highest
authority on the subject.
We suggest that, under this ruling, a
convenient form Of package" for such
purchases would be tin valise, holding
say five gallons. Such package would
not strain the arm to carry 1t into the
cars, and it would be well within the
limits of the law as defined by the board
in Rule S, as amended. Demijohns would
be awkward to handle and liable to
break. The tin valise would be "handy"
and would stapd considerable knocking
about on anG; under the car seats until it
reached it's destination. On five gallons
Of the cheapest whiskey, which would
cost say $40 In Augusta as compared with
Sl5 at the nes,rest dispensary there would
be saving cf $5 at once. Every drinker
along the lines OF the railroads leading
across the State border should provide
himself therefore with five gallon valise
at once. The saving on one purchase of
whiskey in Augusta, Wilmington, Char
lotte or Savannah would pay the cost Of
the tin valiss, and the saving Of every
subsequent trip would be so much clear
profit.
The board have construed the law in
the most libsral way. 1t only remains
for interested parties to avail themselves
Of such construction en- every favorable
occasion.-Ns,Ds and Courier.

Ont of q dozen cta,ndidates President

Out Of dozen candidates President
Cleveland has selected Hon. w. Perry
Murphy, Of Colleton, the candidate for
Attorney General on the Sheppard aud
Orr ticket last year, for the position of
District Attorney for South Carolina.
Without any reflection on the other ap-
plicants for the position, all Of whom are
able lawyers, we do not hesitate to say
that President Cleveland could not have
made q better selection. He is eminently
qualified for the position, and will per-
form his duty faithfully and zealously.
Mr.. Murphy is about forty years of age,
and having sgun life as poor boy on a
farm, he educated himself and chose the
profession OF law as his occupation. He
has served as Solicitor of the Second
Circuit for several terms, and now ranks
as one of the brightest lawyers in South
Carolina. As soon as the news of the
appointment reached Anderson, n um-
ber of our citizens contributed to small
fund, and Mr.. G. Wardlaw was author
ized to send Mr.. Murphy telegram of
congratulation in behalf Of the citizens
Of Anderson, which he did Immediately.

Here are Senator Buffers views on

Here are Senator Buffers views on
national affairs in reply to the query sub
mitted to him by the New York Times:
s.Some concessions can and must be
made to a very large number of the
American people who sincerely believe
that there ought to be more liberal
allowance Of currency. The Sherman
law furnishes this in measure. But
think it has very grave defects. Hence I
would vote for its repeal If coupled with
a proposition to repeal the 10 per cent tax
on State bank circulation. This tax is of
questionable constitutionality. It has
served its purpose and there is no sense
in retaining it on the statute books. A
vicious tariff system and the inflated,
dishonest capitalization of corporate and
Industrial enterprises have had moie to
do with bringing on our financial trou-
blestha the Sherman law, bad as it is.
The prodigality of the last administration
left an empty treasury, and spectators
have taken advantage of this and have
aggravated the embarrassments by exag-
gerating tbs situation"

Cut for Her Witch Vein,

BUCHANAN, GA, June l4.-Willis Wes-
ley Shaw, oolored, is now under the Gus
todY of Sheriff Johnson for assault with
intent to murder an old negro woman
near Bremen yesterday afternoon. Shaw
was plowing when the old woman came
near picking berries. He ordered her
away, calling her thief. At this the old
witch, as she Is known, followed after him
pretending to pick up his tracks. In or
der to keep from being bewitched Shaw
turned upon her with knife to cut her
witch vein, as he says, and inflicted a
three-inch cash in her neck, which it is
thought will prove fatal. He grazed the
jugular vein.-44tlantG Constitution.

What is Your Prospect for
Fruit 2

The Jersey Fruit Journal tells us
that We are to have the biggest fruit
crop ever known in this country.
Already arrangements are being
made for the largest Canning business
ever recorded,
What are you going to do in the
matter? Let your fruit fall and rot
on the ground and buy of your neigh
bor or grocer? No! You can't af-
ford it. Better, by far, "let each tub
stand on its own bottom"
Can your own fruit. Be sure to
Can what you need for home use.
Then, if you have time, Can some to
sell your improvident neighbors.
There are always sure to be some
who never prepare for the future.
They are like the drones in bee hive.
Some one else must furnish bread for
their mouth and oil for their vessels.
Why not you?
Right here let us say a word that
will save few cans of fruit and a
great deal of vexation: If you want
to use your old jars, get new rubbers
for them. The rubbers cost you very
little, and you will not regret the out
lay. Your fruit may keep with old
rubbers, but it is much safer with
clean new ones.
Get the original and genuine Ma
SON JAR, and trust to the good
sense of your thrifty wife for the bal
ance, and you'll be sure to have plenty
to eat next Winter, if you never have
it again.
We have q limited supply Of Fruit
Jars and extra Rubbers.
We trust all will be supplied, but
can't promise to hold goods for late
corners.
Hoping that the grain crop will
only be as good as the fruit crop is
sure to be,
We are yours always truly,
