Ho wanted to. Get In.

Jimmy Murphy was q newspaper Of
flee boy, and Jimmy was terror. He
did nothing in particular save smoke
cigarettes and beg for theater tickets.
and was known to all the reporters as
"Murph." One night he wanted to go
to a certain show very badly, but had
not been successful in begging or steal
ing ticket from the dramatic editor.
He went up to the theater about 8
o'clock and stood around the gallery en-
trance in the hope that he could in some
way gain admittance. The manager Of
the theater came along in little while,
and noticing him standing there, said,
-"He1lo, Murphl.' and went into the
house.
Five minutes later "Murph" walked
up to the doorkeeper at the main en-
trance and said, "Say, is de manager

COL. CU:NNINGHAM DEAD.

Col. John Cunningham, known
in Edgefeld as Col. Jack Cunning
ham, died at lis home in Laurens
county on the 10th inst, in the
seventy-ffth year of his age. He
belonged to a past generation, and
not many know of his active
career in earlier times. He was
the son of Capt. Robert Cunning
ham, a prominent officer of the
war of 1872, and a distinguished
citizen of this State. His mother
was Miss Louisa Bird, a Virginia
lady. Miss Pamela Cunningham,
the famous Southern Matron, y
author of the movement to pur-
chase Mount Vernon, was his SIS
ter. He was 9 frst-cousin of Will
liam L. Yancey, of Alabama, the
great secession orator. and he was
also gifted with the fiery eloqucnce
for which Mr.. Yancey was cele-
brated. He was a granddaughter
of Col. William Cunningham, of
Revolutionary fame, familiarly
known as "Bloody Bill" a dreaded
Tory leader.
Col. Cunningham all through
life was an earnest and enthusiastic
advocate of the duelling code.
Early in life he met upon the field
of honor Judge Samuel McGowan,
now Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of this State. Shots
were exchanged and Judge Nc
Gowan was slightly wounded. In
1856 Col. Cunningham became en-
gagged in a heated newspaper con-
troversy with Mr.. L. M. Hatch, one
of the editors of the Standard.
This led to correspondence be-
tween the two editors, which Ter
minated in a hostile meeting. The
encounter, which took place on the
Washington Race Course OH July
%, 1855, was bloodless and after
an exchange of shots an amicable
adjustment of the difficulty was
effected.
During the last few years of his
life Col. Cunningham developed a
strong advocacy of apiritualism,
and, with others entertaining the
same opinions, he held weekly
seances, at which it is said strange
disclosures were made" >"

An Innocent Rural Lady.

Monroe is flag station on the Bots
ford branch of the New Haven and
Derby road. When the engineer of Con-
ductor Beers train saw the flag exposed
day .r two ago he stopped his train.
Only one person, an old lady, was to be
seen, and the conductor stepped from
the train to help her aboard. The old
lady did not stir, and the conductor said
"Step on board, lady, so we can go on. .
Then her mouth opened, and she said:
claws, | don't want to get aboard. ]
stopped you to send word to my folks
that I was coming up tomorrow, and !
want you to tell John to meet me at the
station to care for my baggage"
Then she stopped, for the train wac
moving, the conductor having given the
signal to start without waiting to learn
where "Johnr and "my folks" lived,
while the old lady looked as though she
thought train officials were not very
accommodating when they would not
even carrya message for her.-Harttord

Col. Earle's Side.

The following isGol. Earle's
conception of what was said, as it
appears in the GreenSille News.
Col Earle returned here yester-
day from Washington and when
seen by q repras;, s:e &,
Greenville News tiatly and
emphatically contradicted the
above statement.
He says he called lon Senator
Butler and asked if s.the senator
had said he would oppose his
(Earle's) confirmation if he was
nominated for district attorney.
The senator replied that he had
made no such statement.
Colonel Earle then asked if the
senator would vote to confirm the
nomination if made.
"Assuredly," was thereby.
Colonel Earle says he then as
ked if Senator Butler would put
that in writing. The senator said
be would. Colonel Earle asked
for;writing materials, ,butthere were
none convenient the conversation
having occ urred at Senator But
ler's house.
Colonel Earle says he promised
at Senator Buffers suggestion to
write AID send to the senator's
office a note covering the points
of their conversation; He return
ed to the hotel, wrote the note, and
meeting Mr.. Sullivan who said
he was going to Senator Buffers
Office, entrusted the note to him.
No reply was received and his first
knowledge that one had been sent
was when be read the above state
ment in The State.

The Romans Did Not Use Soap.

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap, but they
employed an aikali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alkai, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs. The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor of sulphur,
being stretched on frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
of lupins, called lomentu,n, which, with
common meal, is still used in some
places for that purpose.-Knowledge.

Butler.
I asked Mr.. l.. M. Fouche Of
Ninety-six, who was present al
the interview, whether Senator
Butler made such a statment.
aHe did not make it during my
presence" said Mr.. Fouche.
Mr.. Fouche to-day addressed the
following letter to the senator:
Dear Sir: At your request.
will endeavor to give my under
standing of an interview between
Gen. Joseph H. Earle of Greenvile,
S. c., and yourself, which occurred
in this city on Wednes day, 18th
instant. I was at your residence,
and there met Gen. Earle, and
heard Gen. Earle ask you ifit was
true, as had been stated by the
News and Couier and The State
that if he (Earle) was nominated
for district attorney that the
Senate would not confirm his
appointment, and if such
statement had been author
lied by you. Senator Butler dis
claimed having any knowledge of
these statements, and suggested
to Gen. Earle to not pay any at
tention to newspaper squiba. Gen.
Earle said he could not allow the
papers to take such license; if
they did, he would give them a
place of his mind. He further
stated that he felt a delicacy il
asking Senator Butler to endorse
him, and thought it useless, as he
understood he had pledged him
self to Gen. Youmans.
Senator Butler again stated that
was another mistake, and said that
he had placed the same endorse
ment IN several applications for
thi. same office. "That the with
in named applicant is qualified

If there is truth in newspaper
reports South Carolina may enjoy
a repetition of the merry campaign
Tennessee had a few years ago
when Taylor opposed Taylor with
two rival candidates for governor.
1t would be worth while, just for
the humor of it, to see a race be-
tween Geo. D. Tillman and B. R.

Afatal objection to this brotherly
campaign would be that nothing
short of omniscience could tell,

placed in his Hands,
Senator Butler then asked his
authority as stoEhe statement that
he was pledged to. Gen. Youmans.
Gen. Earle replied: he could not
give his authority, but that it was
a rumor. Gen. iEarle then asked
Senator Butler 1fhe would reduce
this to writing. He said he would ;

no paper convenient, Senator
Butler suggested that Gen. Earle
address him a Aote to his office,

went to his committee room.
While there, Mr.. Sullivan of
