Prehistoric Egyptian Giants.

In 1881. when Prof Zimmerman was
engaged in exploring the ruins Of an
ancient temple of Isis on the banks Of
the Nile. sixteen miles below Najar
Djfard, he opened a row Of tombs in
which some prehistoric race OF giants
had been buried The smallest sllele-
ton out Of some sixty odd which were
examined during the time Zimmerman
was excavating at Najar .Djfard
measured seven feet and eight inches
in length and the largest eleven feet
and one inch Memorial tablets were
discovered in great numbers, but there
was no record that even limited that
they were in the memory Of men OF cx-
traordinary size. It is believed that
the tombs date back to the year 1913

know who we were and where we
were, in the great struggle between
the States and how we suffered as a

He is a Hero.

COLUMBIA, S. g., March lS.-Iom
Carter, colored man. who works at
Strickland's stables, proved himself a
hero yesterday afternoon and but for
his courage and doing one human life,
in all probability, would have been
lost. Carter was standing on the
street near the Grand Central when a
runaway mule attached to wagon,
in which was little child, passed by
at a terrific speed. Garter with great
deal of presence of mind and with
danger to his own life rushed after
the wagon, caught it, got in and took
the child in his arms and jumped out,
saving the child's life and suffering
no injury himself. The mule and
wagon belonged to Mrs. Hendrix OF
Lexington County, and it was stand
ing quietly on Plain street just cp.
posite Mimnaugh's establishment yes
terday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock.
Rev. Mr.. Blackburn came riding up
the street on his bicycle and the mule
got frightened. Without moments
warning it dashed off towards Main
street. In turning into that street.
Mrs. Hendrix and one of the children
were thrown out. Spectators thought
they certainly must have been killed,
but when they were reached it was
found that to all appearances they had
only been badly bruised. The little
girl escaped almost harmless, but Mrs.
Hendrix, who was already unwell
suffered more or less injury which
happily was not serious.
In the meantime the mule went on
the mad career down Main street to-
wards the Opera House The little
child was N the wagon and the many
people lined along the streets expected
to see it instantly dashed to death as
the mule was heading straight for the
curostone at the corner of Washing
ton and Main streets. All stood mo-
tionless and speechless, when sud-
denly Carter dashed out from the
crowd and sped after the runaway
like deer. He caught up with the
wagon and got the child out as already
told. The mule was finally stopped at
Washington street Just as it was about
to turn the corner and run into tele-
graph pole. Carter didn't seem to
realize what an act Of bravery he had
done and modestlv took the child back
to the Grand Central Hotel. The
crowd, however, appreciated what be
had dona and instinctively every man
went in his pocket and handed Carter
dollars. half dollars, quarters. dimes
and nickles until, it is estimated, he
had $40 or more.
Mrs. Hendrix and the child who
were thrown out of the wagon We're
taken to residence on Plain street
near the scene of the runaway and a
physician. was called in who attended
to their injuries, which as stated
proved not to be very serious.-Regls

Expenses of The State,

COLUMBIA, Mch. 20.-State Treasurer
Bates in conversation with represen.
tative OF The State, said that siuce the
adjournment of the legislature he had
paid out between s160,000 and $780,
900 for the back salaries of the State
officers and for the expenses OF the
legislature. Last year the expenses of
the general assembly amounted to
about S35, 900 and this year about $780,
900 was paid out. Treasurer Bates
said that since November the expenses
of the State government had amounted
to about $3.50, 900, including the expen-
ses of the Constitutional convention,
the legislature and the salaries of State
officers ard that this large amount
had been paid in the past few weeks.
The State has been placed at a great
er expense this year owing to the long
session of the general assembly. The
State officers up to few days ago
had not received any salaries for four
month and were not paid until the
appropriation bill was passed. Vari-
Gus banks, however, have cashed war
rants for them and patiently awaited
the passage of the bill.
State Treasurer Bates has handed
the press the following explanation of
the expenses of the State:
''In giving information to the pub
lie, newspapers sometimes commit er-
rors that are amusing. For instance,
the State treasurer is reported to have
paid out since the adjournment OF the
legislature between $50, 600 and $780,
900 for the back salaries of the State
officers and for the expense of the leg
islature. If this were correct there
would surely be merit in the claim
that salaries ofthe State officers should
be reduced. The amount mentioned
included not only legislative expenses,
but also amounts due public institu-
tions for four months Zone item Of
which was So, 142.S S4, paid to the luna
tic asylum alone, certain special appro-
priations and the salaries of all State
officers, including judges, solicitors,
stenographers, auditors, etc.
Ihe legislative expenses Tor the
year ending October 31st, 1885 was
s33, ,370.27. The legislative appropria-
ton bill Tor the year 1896 calls for
S., 7S57.QO. am quoted as giving the
amount at $4,000. had not the ex-
act figures with me, but I told the
young gentleman of the press that the
amount was between $55. 600 and $780,
900.
"Of the s3sO,OOO paid out of the
general fund since November l. 1895,
nearly S14O, 900 went to pay the Janu-
ary interest on the public debt.
''Other amounts have been paid
than those in the general fund--an IN
stance, S34,000 out of $45, ,497. 81 OF the
privilege tax fund and large amounts
on the special dispensary fund" {"

Pianos for Wiafhrop.

In August last five pianos from one
maker and one each from tHo ether
makers we're purchased by the Win
throp Normal College OF Rock Hill, S.
c., as trial instruments. with the un
derstanding that il satisfactory others
from the same makers were to be add
ed. Time and test DOES no. seem to
prove them entirely satisfactory since
when eight more pianos were needed
they were not chosen from either Of
the makes before taken on trial. This
time the selection was made from
purely musical standpoint by those
qualified to judge the actual merits of
piano; and, as 4 result the MASON
AND HL,MLIN and MATHCsEK were chos
en- from some twenty two competing
makers. We shall be pleased if those
who are thinking OF buying pianos
will write the music department of
this college asking how they like the

above all others. lUDDEN & BATES,

DEAR SIR: I have your letter Of
February 5th and appreciate very
much your kind words of commenda-
ton. Ia order to preserve the unity
of the white Democracy of South
Carolina we cannot act on your sus-
gestion not to send delegates to the
National Convention at Chicago.
We have already captured the State
Democracy. We are the State Demo
cracy and we must go to Chicago as
such, prepared to bolt if need be. and
ally ourselves with the free silver
men of the West. II would be fatal
blunder not to send delegates to the
National Democratic Convention and
would only be placing it in toe hands
of our gold bug enemies.
If the National Democratic Conven-
ton does not adopt a platform to suit
US and puta man on it above u>piciou
as to his loyalty, We caa then leave
the party, out no: before.
The effort of all true friends Of >il
yer and financial reform shou;d be
directed to having the State Democratic
CoDventioa composed solidty Of men
of their way of thinking 50 as to have
it act as unit.
I return your letter with this so as
to give you the liberty of Publishing
your letter and my reply should you
see fit and so desire
Very sincerely vonrs,

The officers quarters are distinct

interior is given a rough finish
like some plasteling, and is painted
white.
Among the officers are some very
fine looking men. Captain Evans,

and have your wounds salved. Come
in and have your sins pardoned. Come
in by the great gospel fireplace.
Notwithstanding all the modern IN
ventions for heating, l tell you there
is nothing so full of geniality and So
ciability as the old fashioned country
fireplace. The neighbors were to
come in for winter evening socla
bility. In the middle of the after
noon, in the best room in the house,
| some one brought in great t'back log,
with great strain, and put it down on
the back of the hearth. Then the
lighter wood was put on, armful after
armful. Then shovel of Goals was
taken from another room and put un-
der the dry pile, and the kindling be-
gan, and the cracking, and it rose un-
til it became a roaring flame, which
filed all the room with geniality and
was reflected from the family pictures
on the wall. Then the neighbors came
in two by two They sat down, their
faces to the fire, which ever and
anon was stirred with tongs and read
iusted on the andirons, and there were
such times of rustic repartee and story
telling and mirth as the black stove
and blind register never dreamed Of.
Meanwhile the table was being spread,
and so fair was the cloth and so clean
was the cutlery they glisten and glis
ten in our mind to day. And then
the best luxury of orchard and farm
ward was roasted and prepared for the
table to meet the appetites sharpened
by the cold ride,
| On, nv friends, the church Of Jesus
Christ is the worlds fireplace, and the
woods are from the cedars Of Lebanon,
and the fires are fires Of love, and with
the silver tongs of the altar we stir the
fame and the light is reflected from
| all the family pictures on the wall
pictures of those who were here and
are gone now. Oh, come up close to
the fireplace. Have your worn faces
transfgured in the light Pat your
cold feet, weary of the journey, close
up to the blessed contlagration. Chill
ed through with trouble ard disap,
pointment, come close up until you
can get warm clearIthrough. Exchange
experience, talk over the harvests
gathered, tell all the gospel news.
| Meanwhile the table is spread. On il
bread of life. On it grapes of Eschol.
Ion it new wine from the kingdom.
| On it thousand luxuries celestial
