TOD AND GOD
A Joke That Has Full-Grown Whiskers, but Is
Still in the Ring

One of Lincoln's most esteemed friends
was Ex-Governor Tod of Ohio. He was
a quaint old character and Lincoln loved
him for his honesty, ability and native
shrewdness. One evening when Tod was
in town. Lincoln invited him over to the
White House. They had a long chat to-
gether. when Lincoln finally said ::
Look here, Tod, how is it that you spell
your name with only one d? I married
a Todd, but she spelled her name with
two DIS. All her relations do the same.
You are the first Tod / ever met who
spelled his name with so few letters.
Old Tod looked at Lincoln for moment
in his peculiar quizzing manner and then
replied Mr.. President God spells his
name with only one d, and what is good
enough for God is good enough for me-"
Lincoln used to repeat this story to some
time he did so he would laugh until the
tears ran down over that furrowed but
grand face.

AN ANECDOTE OF LOWELL.

The following is new apecdote of
Lowell, says the Nev York Adcertiser.
The incident occurred in early spring,
when as all housekeepers know, the
course of household affairs is apt to be
more or less disturbed.
AS Mr.. Lowell was leaving the house
in the morning, his wife said TO him:
"Now, James, | beg Of you not to
bring any one home to dinner today.
We are too much distracted with house
cleaning to cook, and the consequence
is that there will be little for us to
eat"
Mr.. Lowell promised to heed her re-
quest, but as i'll luck would have it, be
met during the day the eldest son of an
English family with whom he had been
on terms Of friendship while minister to
the court. In fact. Mr.. Lowell's part
ing words to the young man. Gully few
mouths before, had been:
"When you come to America be
sure to visit us. A hearty welcome is
always ready for you
Naturally, therefore, be oow forgot
his wife's admonition. and insisted up
on the young Euglisbmau's going With
him to dinner.
The meal consisted of "picked ash"
aud potatoes. The guest was evident
ly puzzled He had never eaten
picked fish, before. Mrs. Lowell,
meantime, was haunted by thoughts Of
the apple pie that was to finish he re-
past. Her sensations may be imagined
when the Englisbman, after playing
daintily with the contents cf his plate,
remarked in the most courteous manner:
Il know that Mrs. Lowell will par
don ne if | omit the fish course.

To Re-Adjust all Rates.
Railroad Commission Decides
to Revise all Rates.

The agitation of the matter Of re-
ducing the freight rate on fertilizers
has stirred the new railroad commission
up, and as result of the whole thing
the new commission intends to imme-
4iately put into practice rate reform
in other words it has resolved to turn
the present system Of rates, under
which the roads have been operating
for many years, upside down and pro-
ceed to re-adjust the entire classification
of freight rates.
The commission, after wrangle Of
whole day over the fertilizer rate
problem, yesterday announced its action
as follows:
Believing that the changed conii-
tions in this State necessitate the read.
justing Of all rates, and fully realiz-
ing the far-reaching effects Of any
change We might make, and realizing
the fact that any reduction of freight
on fertilizers now would be too late to
be Of any material benefit to the pub
lie, if made this late this season, as
thirty days notice has tc be given under
the provisions of the law, therefore
be it
"Resolved that the board will meet
on February 5th, for the purpose of be-
ginning to revise the whole freight
rates now in force in this State
Mr.. Wilborn made this endorsement
on the paper Il did not vote for the
above resolution for the reason that |
am in favor of settling the question Of
rates on fertilizers at once ;"
1t will thus be seen that the COM
mission will begin the important work
decided upon next week-practicallv at

Again the metropolitan Pe
lice Law Broached.

For month now very little has been
heard about the metropolitan police
force bill and it was generally thought
that nothing more would come of it 10
the near future. The municipal au-
thorities of the cities and towns have
been enforcing the dispensary law with
much more effect than it has ever
been enforced before. as the scarcity
of blind tigers shows, and it has seemed
that the solution Of the puzzliDg pro-
blem Of how to enforce the law had been
solved.
But it appears that some towns are
not doing this work to suit the State
authorities.
Here is what Governor Evans bad to
say about it yesterday Il am receiv
ing information from one or two towns
in the State indicating disposition on
the part of the mayors and police to
make a sham enforcement of the dis
pensary law. l want to say now if
this thing keeps up and these reports
continue to come to me, will put
them under the metropolitan police law
as certain as they are towns | am
dealing with them fairly, honestly aud
sincerely, and | expect the same treat
meut ftom them. So far this informa-
ton comes from two towns only. /
will not mention them, for their autho-
rites will kuow when they see what
l have to say what towns are referred to. :"
From what the Governor had to say
subsequently it is judged that the
towns referred 70 are small towns aud
not cities
Just here it might be mentioned that
the bind :,ger has isaopeared from
Columbia entirely, SO far as enc Ca;
ascertain. Men who have tried to sell
liquor here have gotten into so much
legal trouble that nearly all of them
have voluntarily stopped Columbia is
giving the State dispensary law square
trial and every violator that the police
detect is being handled by the mayor.-

The Ad1ertiser thought that posi-

Rowell's Newspaper Directory with this
result:

days; Democatic, four pages 15x22 !;

So there can be no doubt of the genu.
ineness Of the paper, or Of the truthful
ness of its statements. That the editor
is truthful, is shown by his certifying
to Rowell a circulation Of only 500.
That be is brave, would be plain from
his printing Democratic paper ia that
country (; that he has grit, by printing
any sort Of paper, when his toes are
out, the thermometer 10 below zero and
with no fire but that from old papers.
He is as noble figure as the physician

worthy one and the Advertiser hopes
that every newspaper worker, espe-
cially those who read this, will respond

;he Business Mans Wpy
The New Richland Mill Will
Hum by September.

Without the waving of flags and
beating of drums, Mr. W. B. S.
Wbeley and the gentlemen associated
with him 10 the organization of the
Richlsnd Mills Company lave. during
the last few days, been perfectiug their
arrangements for the construction of
Columbia's latest and most promising
enterprise
The books Of subscription have been
open for several days and the entire
capital stock of $3.50. .00G has been
secured. Mr.. Whaley returned this
week from flying trip to New Eng
land, where he had been to perfect his
arrangements.
Yesterday the purchase of site for
the mill and its village was completed
The property consists Of twenty acres
Eve squares-lying about the railroad
junction at the southern edge of the
city, in such close proximity to the
main line of the Southern, Atlantic
Coast Line and the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroads as to give freighting
facilities at the doors of the mill.
A contract for 2,O00,0 900 brick was
also made yesterday with Mr.. g. A.
Guignard, Of Lexington, near Columbia,
who supplied the brick for the Columbia
Mills. This brick is the finest, per-
haps, 10 the South, and impresses every
one who sees the great mill already con
struc.ed with it.
Mr.. Whaley expects to get the work
Of construction fully under way by the
18th Instant, and to complete the mill
in the early part of August. The
machinery has been engaged to be
delivered by June. This machinery is
all American, of the best type, and
with the very latest improvements, and
has been secured at rates lower than
any mill in this section has obtained.
In fact, this mill will receive the
fullest benefit, 10 all departments, Of
bard-times prices for material aud equip
ment.
The main building will be sos feet
long by 76 feet wide and will be
practically four stories high-three re-
gular stories and full-heigbt base
meut. 1t will be located east of the
main line of the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad on Tobacco street.
The mill village will have about forty
houses and VIII be located near the mill
The mill is designed for 20, 900 spin
les 1t will have an instalment from
the first of 10000 spindles and will fill
up to its maximum The full compile
meDt Of looms-550-measuring 46
inches each, will be put 10 at the start
Seven hundred horse power of steam
will be used Mr. Whaley feels sure
that the mill when completed will not
cost more that $3.50 spindle. which
is far less than the average cost Of
steam mills in the South. Ooe hun
dred and fifty hands will be employed
from the first
The goods to be made by the mill
will be the finest ever manufactured 10
the South, and make which has only
recently been attempted by one North
ern mill The product will be fine
sheetings. fully equal to the Fruit of
the Loom, and it is assured by the
Northern agents of large and profita-
able trade.
