Nc OF A NEW DEPARTURE
IN JOURNALISM.

The Boston Daily Traveller, one of
Boston's great daily papers, has not
only opened its columns for a fair
presentation of the views and trans
action of the Peoples, put it has Sc
cured the services of an able and
distinguished representative of the
party to take charge of this depart
ment. The Traveller has always
been disposed to deal fairly with the
new party, and this new evidence of
its good intentions will be regarded
with favor by members of the party
every where. 1t is in marked con-
trast with the policy of the great
city dailies generally. Henry K
Legate, formerly of the New Nation,
is in charge of this department.

Will Fight to the End.

The prohibitionists Of the State have
been very quiet in ths last few months,
but it is still water-in this case it might
be said "cold water"-that runs deep.
They have by no means relinquished
their fight for total abstinence and they
are going to resume their fight with the
opening Of the Legislature or the coming
campaign.
A representative of the State had long
talk with one of the prohibition leaders
yesterday, and his remarks indicate that
the prohibitionists are as anxious, to
continue their fight us they were to begin
it. He said: "Yes, we are going to fight,
but no definite plan of campaign is yet
arranged. That will depend in great
measure upon the nature Of Governor
Tillman's message to the General Assem-
bly, upon the Dispensary problem. 1t is
beginning tc appear to all that the State
has an elephant on its hands in the Dis
pensary law, and does not know what to
do with it. I do know this, however,
we started this fight to carry it through
to the bitter end, and we intend to push
the cause of prohibition for all it is worth.
We will take advantage of every oppor-
tunity that offers itself to push the cause
of total prohibition or endeavor to secure
something better if that be possible. Tho
fight is going to be never ending,
relentless ono, and we hope in the long
run to win and forever abolish the traffic
in liquor in this State. After the Cover
nor's message appears and the General
Assembly meets I will be able to say
exactly what we propose to do."-Colum-

ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS!

Mr.. EDITOR: The St. Regis tribe
Of Indians are located on Il Reserva-
ton of $4,000 acres in Western Kansas.
The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu-
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
of them being able to speak English.
They, like the red men in general,
never want to be civilized enough to do
much hard work. That is one of
the accomplishments of the pale-face
that they regard as unfit for warriors,
and should only be tolerated when per-
formed by squaws. During the hunt
ing and fishing season the bucks are,
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt deer ten hours a day
for a week than hoe half acre Of
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip
pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues Of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading to produce brilliant and snowy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed q very
keen conception Of the artistic blend
ing of colors, so as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making Of bril-
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
at last they have acquired such skill
that they can dye strips Of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the finest
colored ribbons. These strips Of ash
are then heated, so that the colors will
be "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles of Bas-
kets, and when finished they represent
a picture Of color-blending unequalled
in studio. -

The Story From Beaufort.

BEAUFORT. S. c., Nov. 23-The dis
pensary law has raised considerable of q
row here, and the iniquitous Swan has
gone off with badly bunged eye and
bleeding nasal organ.
The row occurred on Tuesday night.
1t seems that Swan and Strobel, two OF
the whislley spies, had boarded the
steamer Alpha from Savannah, for the
purpose Of seizing barrel of whiskey.
The negroes in town got wind of the fact,
and crowded to the wharf on the arrival
of the Alpha, presumable to see the fun.
By this time the steamer had been
moored to the dock. The crowd had be-
come hilarious. The town authorities
and police were powerless TO prevent the
surging crowd from reaching the dock,
nd by the time the goods were being
landed there must have been, from all
accounts, three or four hundred negroes,
who had forced their way, and who COM
menced to guy and to abuse the con-
stebulary and to put obstacles in the
way of getting the object Of their search
away. It turned out to be barrel of
beer, instead of whiskey, as described in
the warrant.
The constables had hard time getting
the barrel rolled from the steamer up to
the street, where they endeavored to hire
a wagon to take it to some designated
place. They offered to pay $40 to some
of the bowling mob to assist in rolling it
away. This was Indignantly declined,
with curses and abuse by the mob of
men, half gro wn boys and wenches, who
even kicked and cuffed the constables
having charge of the barrel between
them. From S25 to 800 was jeeringly
demanded by the hackmen for wagon.
Finally, when gotten near the street, a
brickbat or some other missile was
hurled, and struck Constable Swan over
the right eye, breaking his nose and in
flicting terrible cut in the eye, which
bled profusely. He was knocked al
most senseless, and staggered with pain.
During the whole progress. Of their at
tempt to get the barrel secured, the spies
were pelted with rotten eggs and other
objectionable missiles. The barrel was
placed in the hands of the sheriff and
given to two negro men to be carried to
the Jail, as be could not hire a wagon for
love or money.
During their transportation of the bar
rel along the streets they let it drop, and
tha contents rolled out, and some
smashed, and then such scramble COM
menced that all that was left of the con-
tents when it reached the Jail was six
bottles.
Swan and Strobel left town on the
train Wednesday morning for Charles
ton.-Special to the State.

For this we thank our friends and

We are happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead of any previous years
business in our history. We presume
that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your money
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for tremendous Fall trade.
We have already bought some Bar
gains that pleasing prices will be
made on.
We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you
and business tor ourselves.
To this end We are working in the I
day and thinking in the night. Six
days hard work and six nights hard
study will surely make telling weeks

ina wh.n wa had nre.ented ourself,

...,us. When we had presented ourself,
we received The orders to go over tn .mrs.
Virgins aud borrow her mop. For,
said mother, "run, Sammy, and bsqnirk,
you know our mop hasn't got any shucks
in it." And sister chimed In, "yes, do be
quick, it will just be nice tramp for
tifteen-year-o boy" Nice tramp! Well,
I would say 40. Just think OF taking
mile and q half tramp on cold, frosty
morning, with the wind whistling in your
ears and you will have our feelings exact
". When we arrived at our destination
we found the boys engaged in pulling
'.sorghum candy" Now, we love ''can-
dv" better than anything else, 30 at the
Wiggins boys invitation we dived into
the pulling with bsartiness so character
istic of the average boy. In fooling with
the ''candy" we forgot all about our niL-
sion until it was about 9 o'clock, when we
suddenly thought of it, and when we re-
ceived the mop we struck for home in
trot. We found mother awaiting our ar
rival with shingle concealed under her
apron.
When the angry passion gathering in my
mothers face l see,
And she leads me to the bed room
genly lays rne on her knee,
Then I know that I'll catch it, and my
flesh in fancy itches,
AS listen to the patter of the shingle on
my breeches.
Every tinkle of the shingle has an echo
and sting,
And thousand burning fancies into ac-
tive being spring,
And thousand bees and hornets beneath
my coat rail seem to swarm,
As I listen to the patter of the sningle,
oh SO warm.
In a sudden intermission, which appears
my only chance,
say: "Strike gently, mother, or you'll
split my Sunday pants;''
She stops a moment, draws her breath,
the shingie holds aloft,
And says: II had not thought OF that,
my son, just take them off"
10 addition to that we turned the pot of
hot water over on our feet, scalding them
very badly Sister scolded US for being so
careless. If girls had to do what boys
does, they would be careless, too. But
that is not all. When we mounted our
donkey to ride him TO water, be suddenly
elevated his hind legs and we found our
selves in mid air. where, after performing
few acrobatics feats, landed gracefully on
our head. Ifany lady had went through
with what we had, we expect they would
be cross, too. SAM DEwBERRY.
