Pres. Bulge has been appointed
as a committeeman from this
county on the state central organ
ization that is controlled by the
gold faction. Weexpect this week s
issue of the Post TO contain card
from him declining to accept the
position, because the Post has said
that he would accept no political

We do not believe that Pres.
Bulge will accept the office of
committeeman from this county,
especially at the hands of the gold
faction who appointed him. Gus
spongberg was ousted because he
was for silver, and certainly Pres.
Bulge will not be placed in a posi-.
ton where he will be against the

Ill.Assorted Marriages.

One of the most imperative duties of
our Legislators will be to amend the mat
rimonial laws of the State. There are
no restrictions thrown around this i'm
portant matter, and any couple can en-
bark in matrimony by simply calling
upon some officer empowered 10 perform
the ceremony.
South carolina is the only State in the
Union where divorces are forbidden. This
is right, but at the same time where the
tie is made 50 binding the greater care
should be taken to prevent the consum-
nation Of hasty and i'll assorted marriages.
Within the past few months NUN Der OF
operatives from the cotton mills in our
county have come to US with the COM
rlaint that many children have run away
and were married who have no means of
support, and do not reallze the importance
of the step they have taken Again, men
past the middle age Of life will marry
girls scarcely in their teens. and boys
will marry women old enough for their
mothers. Such are the reports given us.
The result is that frequently such i'll
matched couples become disgusted with
married life and grass widows are plenti-
full. Sometimes the girls father has
another family to support. In our cotton
mills the boys and girls work side by
side, fall in love and without any con-
sideration as to the future get married.
And when they once embark upon the
sea Of matrimony there is no retreat.
Now with our lax laws in regard to
marriages no restraint whatever is thrown
around our young people. Any trial JUS
tice, or most any State officer, can tie the
nuptial knot. South Carolina should
have a marriage license law, as they have
in Georgia and other States. Make it
| illegal for minors to marry unless they
gain the consent of parents. This, we be-
lieve, will remedy the troubles complain

Matches in War Times.

The late war caused the Southern
people to realize the utter helplessness
of a purely agricultural community
when thrown upon it's resources and
cut off the communication with the out
side world.
As the months rolled on it became
more difficult for the inhabitants Of
the Confederacy to supply themselves
with many of the necessaries and con-
veniences Of every day life. Matches,
for instance, were used by millions of
people, but it was impossible to run
them through the blockade in sufficient
quantities. It soon became evident
that they must be manufactured at
home, butShow was it to be done2 The
machinery was lacking, and also the
materials.
James Mcpherson, public spirited
bookseller in Atlanta, was one OF the
first to attempt to solve the problem.
At considerable expense he succeeded
in getting some machinery, phosphorus
and sulphur through the blockade,
and in short time his match factory
was in operation.
The factory was situated few miles
from the city, and the matches were
stored in McPherson's book store and
sold there by wholesale and retail.
They were made of poplar and sold in
blocks, the factory not being provided
with machine that would separate
the matches.
inexperienced workmen found it a
hard matter to turn out matches that
would light. At first about the only
way to make them available was to
bring them in contact with dying en-
bers in fireplace, but this was incon-
venient. and efforts we're made to i'm
prove their quality. Finally the com
position was changed and the match
blazed up at the lightest touch.
1t was not necessary to strike them.
They were self acting, and unexpeot-
edly broke out at odd hours of the
day and night. The clerks in the
book store had double work in those
exciting days. When they were sell
ing books they had to watch the big
boxes containing the matches and roll
them out into the street the moment
they began to smoke. Once in the
street, the boxes would be emptied and
the contents left until they were re-
duced to ashes.
There was not much profit in an ar
ticle containing the elements Of self
destruction, and night watchman had
to be employed to remain in the store
and drag out the boxes as soon as they
showed indication of spontaneous
combustion. But the factory was an
Atlanta enterprise, and the people
were proud of it. At least it was a
beginning. It was sign of promise,
and showed that in spite Of the block
ade there were enterprising men of the
South who had the pluck and energy
to risk their fortunes and to go to work
to build up the industries of the coun-
try.
It was not long before the discov-
cry was made that the composition
used for the matches was frst-class
rat poison. Here was a new source of
revenue for the manufacturer. The
stuff was put up in little tin boxes and
advertised as rat eXterminator.-

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 16.-Women
preached in eighty pulpits Sunday in ST..
Louis. Congregational, Methodist, Epis-
copal, Baptist, Christian and Evangelical
churches all opened their doors to the
lecturing members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union. The spec
tacle thus presented was no less mem
orable than impressive, marking, as it
does, an era in religious liberality. Many
were lost for awhile in contemplation of
the strangeness ofthe event, but the feeling
of novelty soon were of, the sermons be-
coming fully as effective if not more SO
than the regular pastors. Fifty years
ago, when Mrs. Antoinette Black burn
Brown, of Orange, N. j., startled the
ecclesiastical world by becoming ordained
as a minister, the presence of nearly one
hundred women in as mary pulpits in

A Novel Well Bucket.

A traveller who was journeying
through Florida, not far in the interior,
stopped one day for drink Of water
at house by the wayside.
"Cert'ny, stranger" said the sun.
burned, barefooted woman who had
met him at the door. Then she stuck
her head through the crack and began
to call: "Sal Here you, Sal Take
a gourd1 and go git the stranger fresh
drink"
He watched and saw towheaded
girl disappear down path which led
through truck path until she stopped
upon a small board platform. He saw
her let rope rapidly down but there
appeared to be no bucket attached,
and he heard no knocking against the
sides of the we'll such as bucket
usually makes in its descent. When
it was drawn up again, the girl had
changed her position so that he could
not sec what was on the end OF the
rope, but he did not hear her set a
bucket down, and after she had left
saw only what looked like a bunch Of
weeds dangling from the rope. But
she brought the water, and itappeared
all right.
"How did you manage to get it, he
asked, "without bucket?
"We've got a bucket, said she.
"Dad brung us a new one yesterday.
He fshed it up quite while ago, but
it had to be cleaned up.
Anxious to see the bucket that had
been "fsned up" and cleaned, the
traveller made some excuse to step to
the we'll, and what he saw was a large
sponge, which, when it was let down
would absorb as much as cone person
could draw up and hold a goad share OF
it until it was drawn to the top and
emptied by squeezing.
