Application for :, Monitor.

Adjt Gen. Watts is making every
effort to get boat for the use of the
Naval Militia Of the State. The formal
request for the boat, as for all other
supplies, has to go through the Gov
crnor of the State, and he signed the
following requisition:
81 have the honor to request that
the following named arms and equip
ments may be issued for the nse OF the
Naval Militia Of South Carolina, to be
sent to Commander r. H. Pinckncy,
Charleston. The monitor LehiSh or

old guns in her turret wonld be of
great advantage, as it would tighten
her draft. and allow the new guns
which the Naval Militia of this State
now haze to be placed in her after her
arrival. Our inland coast passages are
shallow and lightness of draft is very
essential. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
the guns can be removed. The heat
OF this climate renders awnings neccs-
sary, and the department is earnestly
requested thus to make the ship avail

The State has been given cncc:?aSe-
ment, and hopes to get one of the two
vessels for use at Charleston and along
the coast.

TWO LESSONS.

Harold was skipping and running
all around grandpa's big field pick
ing daisies. At least he called them
daisies. These big yellow daisies
with their large brown eyes. In some
places the grass was so tall that
auntie could see only his bright red
iockey-cap bobbing and bouncing
beside the waving grasses.
He gathered large bunch. then
over the stone wall he jumped, ran
to the piazza, and sat down on the
settee hot and breath!css.
Aren't those pretty daisies,
auntie2" lie exclaimed, us he placed
the bunch in her lap.
Auntie looked up from her sewing.
Yes, very pretty, Harold . she
replied. But do you know, dear,
they are not daisies at all :"
Harold looked surprised.
Aren't they, auntie?' he asked.
"Aren't they oxeye daisies"
"No, dear" auntie answered.
These are the real oxeye daisies -
and she took beautiful white field
daisy from the bouquet at her belt.
OH" said Harold. Jennie told
inc yesterday that these were oxeye
daisies. because their eyes looked
like gcandDa's oxen. Brown and
SOFT she said. What are these,
auntie??"
These are Rudbeckia, - auntie
continued. But many people call
them daisies Just as Jennie did.

State Liquor Commissioner Mixson

the business.
He said that while the Legislative

cash with which to meet al expenses.
Besides paying back the $50, coo arpro-
oriat:or, he says, they have paid all the

WONDERFUL LITTLE FISH =.

The nine and the three spined
sticklebacks are, without doubt, the
most wonderful fish for their size
that are common to our waters.
They will live we'll IN either fresh or
salt water aquaria, building nests
and raising their young under all
discouragements. The male builds
the nest for the female tolay her
eggs in. The nest is composed of
plants cenented together with a glue
provided by the male, who also
carries sand and small stones to the
nest in his mouth, wi h which he
anchors it. During the breeding
season the male assumes the most
brilliant hues of blue, orange and
green; previous to this season he is
of dull si!very color. When an
enemy approaches the nest, be he
large or small. he will attack him,
in 1icting wounds with his sharp
spine Nor will he allow the mother
of the young ic!llebacks to come
near, as she is so fond OF her babies
that she often forgets herself and
eats them up. When the young
"tittlebacks," as they are often
called, swim too far from the nest,
the male takes them in his mouth
and brings then back, throwing
them out with such force that they
make many somersaults before land
ing. Sticklebacks are the smallest
known fish when first Matched oIt Of
the egg, being nearly invisible

CHAIRMAN RAY
Makes an Appeal to the Richland
Democracy.


County Chairman Ray has sisstted tie
following address to all Democrats:
To the Democrats of Richland Coun-
ty: White voters. will you stand tame
ly by and sec the Radicals and negroes
elected to the Constitutional Convcn-
ton from Richland county? We ap-
peal to all patriotic and liberty-loving
citizens to prevent such political
crime. Is thnre white man in Rich
land county who will refuse to cast his
vote for white supremacy ut the cleo
ton on next Tuesday? 4 serious crisis
is upon us and every white man INST
stand by his colors and courageously
make q vigorous effort to stamp ont
negro supremacy in this county and
CITY. This is his duty and it should be
well done.
The Democratic Convention, under
regular call of the executive committee,
decided upon q division in this county.
with view of allaying bitterness in
the choice of delegates to the CONSTR
tutional Convention. Believing that
the Convention should be hon
partisan body, q joint ticket, COM
posed of John 7. Sloan, Jr., II. Coz
per Patton, John J. McMahon, Willie
Jones and J. B. Deut, were Nominated.
We call upon all Democrats to vote
for this ticket at the general election
on next Tuesday, August 20, 1898.
They nre all true and tried Democrats;
they have never been found wanting;
they stand for principles of equal
Justice and have always been loyal to
the rights of the people. They will
iealously guard the interests Of the
masses against encroachment from any
classes. None but the most bitter
bartisans can { g " the honesty, patri-
otism and intelligence Of the nomi-
hees.
There is no doubt that we have
majority of registered Democrats, and
if these nominated are defeated it will
be due to the unpardonable apathy
and want Of patriotism of our people.
There is another ticket put IN the
field by negroes to be voted for IN the
election The deep scars of negro
rule and government which once blight
ed the prosperity of this city have
been about healed, after period OF
more than twenty years. :;
Their debauchery, immortality and
fraud were enough fer this white gen:
Grafton at least. Can there be any
doubt as to the choice Of tickets to be
made by the Democratsin tais county?
The negro ticket must be defeated by
a large majority. The executive com
mittee expects every white man in this
county to do his duty next Tuesday
The Radicals are organized and we
urge the Democrats in this county to
vote their full strength next Tuesday.

tive Committee.

OUTLOOK FOR TRADE.
Review of the Speculative and Staple
Markets for the Week.

VI
r. G. Dun & Co., OF New York, sayin their
review of trade: 1t is belated season; a
frozen May set everything back. The heavy
business which ought 20 have been done IN
Mayand June was pushed into Julysso thatthe
midsummer decline in July comes in August.
With this in mind. one is not surprised to find
the shrinkage from July to August rather
more conspicuous than usual.
The disappointing crop reports OF last
Saturday, though evidently Gistrusted,
lessen confidence in IeTard TO the future OF
trade, even while some spectators gain by
them.
Back OF all doubts is the fact that the
Industrials are doing better than anybody
could have expected. The output OF pig iron
August 1st., was $50, ,525 tons weekly, or
rs, sos tons by another report. In either
case it is greater than the largest output OF
1894, though surpassed $1,000 tons in BE
nspring of 1888.
The:sales of steel rails IN 1895 to August
lst., were $4,000 tons, and the deliveries
$4,000. Wages in this industry have peen
generally advanced and strikes few. Other
metals change little though. The textile JIM
ports have been heavy, and advances IN cot
ton goods to some extent check buying, while
Fafl River spiDners are organizing foc resto-
ration of wages paid before the panic.
Crop reports modified expectations as TO
cotton and wheat, and cotton spectators
have bought, lifting the price iive-sixteentts,

SHEPPARD GOES FREE.
Chcif Justice McIvcr has Filed His
Decree.


4 case of some interest vas decided
Wednesday by Chief Justice Mclver.
of the supreme court Of South Caro-
lima. The dispensary law OF this state
provides that upon certain proof the
state officials may enjoin party from
selling irtoxicants. Proceeding under
those provisions, Circuit Judge Benet,
sitting in Columbia some time last
October, enjoined one William Shep-
pard from selling or otherwise dis
posing Of spirituods liquors.
At the recent term of the court in
Columbia Sheppard was brought up
before Judge Townsend, another cir
cult Judge, on the charge of contempt
of court. in selling liquors contrary to
the order of Judge Benet. Judge
Townsend held Sheppard guilty of
contempt OF Judge Benet's order, and
sentenced him to fine Of 5000 and to
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for.
eight months. Sheppard was COM
mitted accordingly, had his head
shaved. put in stripes and set to work.
Last week his lawyers, John McMaste1
and B. L. Abney, moved before Chief
Justice McIver for the discharge of
Sheppard on several grounds. chief
among them being that the dispensary
law providing for the contempt pro-
ccedings are in violation of the state
and federal constitutions.
Wednesday evening the decision OF
the chief Justice was received. He Or
ders Sheppard's discharge but without
considering the anstitutional ques-
ions presented.
He simply holds that Judhe Benet

THE RAINBOW.

When the summer shower is pass
ing away. and while the thunder is
still rolling among the hills, we have
often seen the rainbow. Every one
-adnires the beautiful arch which
spans the sky. 1t is caused by the
striking of the suns rays upon the
drops Of water as they fall from the
clouds. The rays are twice refracted
and once reflected as they meet the
transparent drops. If you look in
the dictionary you will find that re-
fracted means bent suddenly, and
reflected means thrown back. The
colors OF the rainbow are seven in
number, and appear in the following
order: red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo, and violet. The tints
are most vivid whe:: the background
of clouds is darkest and the drops of
rain fall closest. The continual
falling OF the rain while the sun
shines produces q new rainbow every
moment; and 4 curious thing is that
each spectator sees it from a partic-
ular point Of view; strictly speaking
no two persons see precisely the
same rainbow.

MISS WHITNEY.

From that time to this the name OF
Paget has been great one. In the
middle of the last century there was
no male heir and she name might
have become extinct had not an act
of Parliament permitted son OF
Lady Bayley, who was heiress to the
estates and Paget by birth. to as
sumo the name and arms OF his
mothers family. He was summoned
to the House OF Lords rs the ninth
Lord Paget.
Those who know tile Whitneys are
sure that the distinction of family or
the family estate, consisting OF So
600 acres, or the fine country seats
OF Baudesert and Plas-Newydd had
but little influence with them. They
think much more of the young mans
personality aad achievements.
In the first place he is remark
ably fine looking man. He is tall,
slender and active. He has black
mustache and the most charming
manners. Men particularly admire
him.
When he was old enough to under
stand things, he came to the conclu-
sion that the family estate was not
big enough to 60 around so large a
family and that younger son hadn't
much opportunity in Eng land. Al
meric Paget was only is when he
came to this country, lie went to

when anybody could make money in

rare ability and Judgment. He dis
