EARLE TO The PEOPLE.
Expresses Thanks For His Nomination For

Expresses Thanks For His Nomination For
the Senate.
To the Democratic Voters OF South Caro-
lima:
1t is with pride and qualification
that have received notice of the Off
cial count by which I am declared
your nominee for the Office of United
States senator. Permit me to express
to you my grateful thanks, and to
assure you that I hope to merit your
confidence by earnestly striving to do
my duty.
AS 1 declared many times during
the campaign, in which l had the
honor TO address you, am the candi-
date of no faction, and 1 recognize no
difference between Reformers apd
Conservative, but honor you all as
Democrats. I have appealed to you
to lay aside all factional differences,
and in casting your votes to consider
only your duty to the state as Demo-
Gratis, conceding to no man the right
to control you and submitting to no
dictation. The result shows that you
have not been influenced by prejudice,
that you have laid aside factional diff
ferences, that you have asserted your
manhood, and have been influenced
only by your duty to the state.
For many years I have labored to
heal the breach in our ranks, and to
restore good feeling among our peo-
pie sometimes have almost despaired
that this would be accomplised, but
the result of the election gives me
new hope. Indeed, I believe that
new era has dawned upon our state,
and that the future gives promise that
our people will hereafter consider men
and measures solely upon their merits
and will be influenced by no other
consideration. God grant that this
may be 30.
In this connection, let me congratu-
late you upon the election of Mr.. Ell
lerbe as your nominee for governor
brave, able and conscientious gentle
man, who has promised to be the gov
ernor of the whole people. His high
character gives the assurance that this
promise will be faithfully kept, and
that, free from partisan influences, his
administration will be pure, able and
just.
Approaching the great honor that
you have conferred upon me, and in
voking Divine aid in discharging the
important and responsible duties of
the office to which I have been nomi-
mated, am
Your obedient servant,
JOSEPH H. EARLE.

JUDGE J. Il. EARLE'S CAREER.

Political Work of the Next Senator From
South Carolina.
Correspondence Of the Atlanta Constitution.
COLUMBIA, s. c., September H.
General Joseph H. Earle, who has been
elected to the United States senate by
popular vote of the people to succeed
John L. M. Irby, after one of the
warmest campaigns in the states his
tory, is a man of whom all Carolinians
can be proud.
His fight was one straightest and his
methods upon the stump the cleanest.
The amount of respect he commanded
can he best judged by the fact that
when every effort was made by Senator
Tillman and other leading Reformers
to draw factional lines and when the
whole weight of the administration
was thrown for Evans, Earle received
about &c, 900 votes of stanch Reformers.

NEXT GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
A SHORT SKETCH OF THE MAN FROM
MARION.

General Ellerbe Has Devoted His Best
Energies to the Furtherance of the
Cause of the People-He Will Make a
Safe, Conservative Governor.
Low Country Citizen.
VIM. Haselden Ellerbe was born in
Marion county, s. c., April 7, 1862.
His father was William S. Ellerbe, a
native of South Carolina. The first OF
the Ellerbe family to come to America
were two brothers, natives of England,
who came to the United States in
about 1874 and located on the Great
Pee Dee river, near Cheraw. William
S. Ellerbe was one of The largest and
most successful planters of Marion
county. He was married to Sarah E.,
daughter of Major James Haselden of
Marion county, and to this union 13
children were born-nine daughters
and four sons, all of whom are living.
William S. Ellerbe devoted himself
exclusively to agricultural pursuits,
declining all invitations to enter pub
lie life. He was a man universally
respected and esteemed for his sterling
wol th and excellent traits Of charac-
ter. William H. Ellerbe was reared
on his fathers plantation, and was
prepared for college by Mr.. L. B.
Prince, a wellknown educator, who
had charge of Pine Hill academy. In
1880 he entered Woford college,
where he attended two sessions. He
then entered Vanderbilt university, at
Nashville, Tenn, where he remained
but a short time, when his health
failed and he had to return to his faith
er's plantation. He at once went to
farming, and is now successful plant
er. He helped to organize the Reform
party in his county and state in 1886 /;
attended the first farmers convention
held in Columbia. In 1890, without
solicitation on his part, was nominated
and elected comptroller general, which
place he held for four years. Was the
youngest man ever elected to a state
Office in South Carolina. He was a
candidate for Governor in 1894, but

The STATIONARY BICYcLE.-With
the aid of new invention you can
run a five mile bicycle race-or 100
miles, for that matter-in a room 8
feet square.
The new device is the stationary
bicycle. The bicycle portion of the
machine is identically the same as the
ordinary wheel, but it is mounted on
supports which clear the wheels from
the ground. To the wheels is attached
an instrument which records on reg
lister adjoining the machine every rev.
olution. All the rider must do is to
mount the wheel and work the pedals.
So many revolutions make a mile, and
that is all there is to the machine, al
though it is quite an ingenious inven-
ton.
The rider is not compelled to pace
any one, doesn't have to turn corners,
nor need he fear collisions or fall.
All he must do is to work his feet, and
though he may run any number of
miles, when he is through he will not
have moved an inch.

THE TALKING DOG.

There was once ventriloquist so
poor that he was obliged to travel on
foot from town to town to save ex-
penses, much after the manner of the
gentleman of adventure in Grimm's
tales. One day he was Joined on the
road by dog as forsaken as himself,
but who seemed desirous of becoming
his companion.
They journeyed together to the
next town, and entered the tavern,
tired, hungry and penniless. Not
being troubled with the inconven-
lent refinement which comes from a
long line of gentle ancestors, the man
had developed the quality known as
cheek, so he and the dog sat down to
eat a supper for which they could not
|pay.
The room was full of loungers, and
the stranger took conspicuous seat.
"What will you haye?" asked, the
only waiter the place employed; and
the order embraced nearly everything
on the bill of fare.
"But I want something for my dog,
too," he added. "Ask him what he
will have" The waiter muttered
something about "what yer giving
u.s." so the stranger said: "What,
don't you like to-? Well, Bruno, will
you have beef or fish ?"
"Beef every time," said Bruno,
looking with mild, brown eyes at the
waiter.
"And what to drink?
"Water, thank you," said Bruno.
By this time the landlord and every
one in the place were eager with sup
pressed wonder, and gathered about
to hear dog talk.
The ventriloquist feigned indiffer-
ence by eating with avidity, while the
landlord was evidently considering
something. His cogitation resulted in
his offering the stranger $500 for his
wonderful talking dog.
The ventriloquist appeared to hesi-
tate a moment, then said abruptly:
"Yes, you may have him for $500.
When the money was paid and the
ventriloquist was about to leave he
turned to the dog patted him affec-
tionately and said: Goodbye, old
fellow, you've been good friend to
me-"
"You are no friend Of mine," re-
turned the dog, "to sell me to another
master. As you were mean enough
to serve me such trick I'll have re-
venge. I'll never speak another word
as long as / live"
The ventriloquist then made off
with all possible haste.-Harper's
Young People.
