The Transmississippi Exposition COM
pany has named its officers and may be
presumed to be organized for business.
About the first thing its officers ought
to do Is to take Il run over to Chicago
and learn just how the men of that city
proceeded in the preliminary steps to
the Worlds fair. Eight men met In
Chicago one day and conceived the idea
of the Columbian exposition. They
know how such things are done.

When she was five years old,
And told her famous fairy tales,
And smoothed her hair of gold.
When she was eight, she'd run to me
And greet me with a kiss,
Eager to make me shareT Of
Her childish woe or bliss.
At twelve she'd nestle by my side.
In her confiding way,
And snuggle up as ] should like
To have her do today!
But now, alas! she's seventeen,

When South Carolina goes so far as
to seriously consider a law imposing a
money penalty upon the county in which
q lynching takes place in favor of the

signs must be good for %arousing a gen

The lynx-eyrd chief detective had
been in his high office for just four
months to a day, but had never sus-
pected that gambling was rampant in
this city untild he read II list of gam
bling houses and dives published in The
Bee. He visited Donnelly's poker room
and no sign nof n game. He visited
Wrights crap Joint and no sign of a

tectives! They would not see the sign of
Il game IL they were to run plumb
against n roulette wheel or a faro box

any more than the policemen, who, rs
we are reliably informed, patronizcd the
bar of n saloon with n wine room at

saw the trail of the women who at that

the place and what his relations are to

ment. Though the salaries be small
they are salaries and the hungry office
seekers are determined to secure them.
Everybody must know there is no call
for the filing of these places. The
plea that to leave them vacant would
be paramount to denying representation
to the First ward will not hold water.
There are eight councilmcn-at-large
bound by their oaths TO protect the in
tcrests of the people of the First as
well rs other wards. We venture to
say that if Il vote could be taken by
property II of that ward it would
be largely in favor of leaving the places
vacant for the sake of economy if for
no other reason. There is, moreover,
no prospect of any improvements this
year either in the First ward or any
