 JAMESON, S. C., Feb. 1.-The picka- ninny's mother dces not prepare for his advent. She has early imbibcd the super stition that any such forethought on her part will invite bad luck, both for herself and her offspring. Be the season autumn, spring, January or June, the dusky little stranger finds no single garment awaiting him on arrival and spends the first weeks perhaps months-of his earthly career swathed in the tattered odds and ends of the castoff clothing of the family. The length of time he shall wear these swad- ding clothes depends entirely on his abil- ity for kicking them off.
 When his sturdy littlc legs are strong enough to fling nside the clumsy bundle tho fact that he has got rid of its protect ing warmth is accepted as a sign that 1t Is no longer needed, and for the next few years the little fellow is as free as air. so far as clothes are concerned, a single gar ment, made in such fashion as not to him der in the slightest any eccentric antics he may choose to execute, being his only pro- lection against heat, cold and the gaze of the passerby. At an abnormally early age he creeps, going on venturesome voyages of discovery across the cabin floor, getting his inquisitive fingers fastened in the cracks that yawn between the time grim cd boards, putting all objects small enough for tho purpose in his mouth and testing those too large with his tongue. When he has crept quite up to the un- guarded fire twice in succession, showing a decision of character in inverse ratio to his size, and perhaps tumbled out of the door oftcncr than is thought good for him, he is whisked up and planked down in a box, above the high sides of which only his little kinky head shows, there to re- pent his reckless daring, which he straight. way does in bitter wailing. When his mother goes to work in the field, she car ries him, too and he spends the long day on a piece of bagging or just in the white sand at the end of the cotton row. staring

MIR HALLS BILL.

Representative Hall of Waterbury must have recalled many times yesterday the old saying that ''fools rush in where angels fear to tread A hearing was gwen by the woman suffrage committee of the house upon Mir Halls pet measure to repeal the law giving women the privilege of voting at school elections. As predicted in the DEMOCRAT some of the most prominent women suffragists of the state were pres ent and the way they alone up" Brother Halls five line bill was a caution. So convincing were their arguments that the committee after two minutes conference, without leaving their seats. decided to re- port adversely upon the bill.
 NIT Hall enjoyed the unique distinction of being the only one of the S00,000 men. women and children of Connecticut who appeared in favor of the bill and his speech, boiled down, was that women would Lot bear arms in defense of their country. nor act as policemen and. there fore. should not be allowed to vote.
 Truly thIs w,.s a wonderful argument for MT Halls side of the question. We counot understand why Mir Gunn's com mittee should turn down the bill after listening to such a clincher. Women would not be policemen and therefore ought not be allowed to say who will care for the eiucatiop of their children! The poor men alone stand ready to take up arms when their country is in peril, while the women remain at home caring for the babies. No further proof is needed that women are inferior creatures. We could shed tears over Mir Halls argument if it were not for laughing
 In all seriousness. though, we would have given doe credit to Representative Hall had we faith in his motives.It is clear to everybody that the bill to disfranchise women has selfish object in view and is aimed particularly at Waterbury. It is a creature of the A. P. A. and we rejoice at the discontinue of MT Hall.
 QUEEN Victoria's speech to her "lords and gentlemen" spoke of my govern ment' as if she were the autocrat of all the Russias. instead of being a respectable igurehead whose words are supplied by Roseberry and his followers The spsech is significant for wha it omits more than for what it says. In the short screed not word is said about home rule in Ireland, which for the past ten years has been the issue, when the liberal party was under the leadership of Gladstone. Neither does the speech mention, even indirectly. the subject of the mending or ending the house of lords, policy upon which the grand old nan had entered just before his re- tirtment from office. These important topics have been ignored. It looks as if Lord Roseberry wree riding toward a fall " He cannot expect to hold the Irish party on platform such as he has erected for himself in the queens speech. and and without it he would be considerably in the minority. If the conservatives | choose to force his hand, he cannot post. pone an election for any length of time.

The sacred and symbolic Palm.


From the very earliest times the palm
tree has been recognized as q symbol Of
victory. Among the Greeks and the
Romans palm branches were used to
decorate the buildings and streets Of
their cities in honor Of the return Of a
victorious army. This custom appears
to have been taken from the eastern
nations, but from what one in particu-
lar no one now knows.
At "a very early age the Hebrews were
accustomed to carry palm branches on all
occasions Of rejoicings. This custom
having been observed on the entry Of
Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has come
to bear special symbolism among
Christians, The prim iittiye church used
it to express the triumphs Of the Chris
tian over death through the resurrec-
tion. As early as the second century
"a. d. it became the custom to carve
palm branches on the tombstones Of
those who had died for the faith, and
about the same time all pictures Of mar
ttyyrs were figures holding representa- iions
of palm branches IN their hands st.

A Remarkable Woman.

The dowager Lady Stanley Of Alder
Icy, whose death took place not long
since, was remarkable woman. Her
great age Of 81 was no hindrance to her
extraordinary intellectual and physical
activity. She was born before the jubi-
lee Of George III, was presented at court
to George Nv, was familiar with the
widow Of the young pretender, and was
present both at the coronation and at the
jubilee Of her majesty Queen Victoria.
More than half a century ago Lady Stan
ley was one Of the original promoters of
the Queens college and one Of the
members Of it's first council. She assist
ed Miss Emily Davies, to whom the
foundation OF Girton college was main
~ owing.
During her whole life she has been
working for the education Of women,
never endeavoring to iinonopolize the
credit, and all this good work Was &C.
cQmplished while taking 9 due interest
in her children, even Is the second second and
third generatioh. Lady Stanley had IL
children, Z Of whom are now living.
Recently she regretted she was not ten
years younger, to explore some ii the
newly Investigated regions Of central
Asia, and it is related that on one Of her
last visits to the premier, Mr. Glad

conversation from politics by abiding

other things:

though one man had to sit on his head
while he was being shod. The iron
seemed to be very good, and It comes
from the mines IN the northern part Of
the country The tools Of the country
are made of it, and the farming tools
are very ingenious, the three and four
pronged hoes being quite as good as
anything we have in America They
were making tools III this blacksmith 8
