A tax of one dollar a head io&

bring most of the ours and mont
grels to the gallows, and would be
quite a sourc of revenue from
those who prefer to keep their
dogs. 1 believe most fox hunters
who own packs OF hounds would
approve of such a law as it would
lessen the danger of hydrophobia,
to which their dogs are exposed,
and save them from disappoint-
ment in their hunts by the pres
ence of a cur, Which almost i'm
variably spo1ls their hunt.
I also believe a large majority of
the voters in this State would aps
provo such u law If they were con.
suited in a proper way. I have
talked with a great many men up
on this subject, and rarely find one
who disapproves. It is high time
that farmers we're asserting their
rights and sending such demag-
ogues to the rear as dodge this sub
ject. Speak out and stand firm.

Judge Earle and Gov. Evans are
criticised for being candidates while
holding Office. Gov. Evans suggests
that Earle should resign and by the
same token Evans should resign. But
these gentlemen are not candidates:
they are only soliciting votes at a
democratic primary to make them
candidates. Those who are successful
at the primaries can become candi-
dates. The primary Specification of

There is talk of calling off the State
campaign for the reason that the
meetings are slimly attended and the
debate Of such a low order as to COR
rupt the listeners. Just wait, If you
please, till they strike the Piedmont
Belt. We are all in for the circus, at a
quarter per head, and will leave our
small boys at home. Johnnie Lowlow
Is as far as We could risk our shavers.
Let the band wagon and the menagerie
move forward.
The wicked are now asking If there
Is no Presidential vacancy in the
many State Colleges in South Caro-
lima. I%mpudent politicians suggested
that Ben Tillman should come home
and build a University. Never mind;
all is we'll when n is we'll with his
neighbors. Just wait till you hear
from the "boys'' in old Edgetield.
After a respite of ten days the State
campaign opened again yesterday with
its siege guns. 1t will tax the powers
OF endurance OF Press ard people to
hold out for the next six weeks. The
only relief is the versatile Whitman
We have already bespoken thanks for
Whitman.

my fellow. passenger-the only one
for some time.
We were in me Great Wheel at Earl's
court. l had often wished 10 make the
ascent, and to-day had prevailed on
Aunt Mary to accompany me. She has
always been overindulgent to my
whims, and l, like all spoilt people, have
always bein ready to avail myself other
indulgence, and 10 tax it to the full; but
l really had no idea that this wheel
journey was such terror to her, or 1
hope l should not have been so persist
ent.
was enjoying the delightful ascent
to the full, and, absorbed in looking out
at the huge city far beneath, had not
once glanced toward my fellow traveller.
was startled to find myself address
ed by him.
Pardon NE, but I think we are old
acquaintance"
looked and cognized-though with
difIiculty-my old friend, Cecil Farquhar
the last person in the world l wanted
to meet! He and | had been lovers, and
were so no more. Five years ago he had
left mo to take up the appointment in
the far east. I had nearly broken my
heart over the parting and had written
piteOus letters. His letters got fewer
and cooler Il don't believe the best man
can remember an absent woman for
LONG,, and I, in pride and anger, had
suggested that, if he no longer cared
for me, it would be better to break our
engagement al once. BY return mail
came a letter acquescng in my sug-
gestion; and for the last years l had
been endeavoring 10 persuade myself
that I didn't care. Not with uniform
success
My only feeling, however, on recog-
nizing him now was unreasoning an
g5r.
Il think, Mr.. Farquhar, that it was
very questionable taste to thrust your
self upon me in this way"
Good heavens! Do you suppose
did it on purpose? This internal ma
chine was just off. No time for Choice.
However, it is not for long"
How long," I asked.
81 believe the circuit is made in about
twenty minutes, and l should think
nearly half that time has elapsed al
really You need not fear that 1 shall
intr'de myself any further on your no
tice."
1T certainly does not seem necessary
TO renew our acquaintance.
"As you please"
I bowed and he retired to the farther
corner of The car. where he sat steadily
locking out OF he window.

Tered but for the better He was
broader and browner, and that silky
beard was a distinct improvement.
Really. though. this had no interest for
me-he was nothing to me.
resumed my study Of the view We
must be descending now. How slowly
we were going. We scarcely seemed to
move. I looked az my watch; ii must
have gone madly wrong, for according
TO its register we had already been half
an hour. and the whole journey only
took twenty minutes. I saw a great
many heads thrust out from the vari-
Gus cars. and it seemed as if some anx-
iety was felt.
We had undoubtedly stopped I
would have given anything to speak to
Cecil Farquhar, yet pride forbade me.
Perhaps he would begin. l looked
toward him. I ratified my parasol and
changed my position somewhat noisily.
No notice was taken.
Shall l speak? Fear and curiosity
have a hard battle with pride. Two to
one ought 10 win, but pride is very
strong.
Surely he must look round soon. Sill
that impervious back.
Now he is talking to someone. I can't
catch the words, bu. the voices sound
anxious. I must know. 1t is absolute
~ inhuman not to tell me. Something
must have gone wrong with the ma
chinery-perhaps we are in danger. I
must know. Pride is well night van
ouishsd. I 60 over TO his side Of the
carriage

He doesn't hear and thrusts himself
further out of the window to listen to
what the man in the car beneath is say
ing. I strain my ears to listen and
cs.ch a word or two: Cant move the
machine-great f,ar-hours."
Pride is laid low.
I pull his coat. ,
He turns round at last, with look Of
extreme surprise.

as usual, chooses a mountain scene for the
subject of his painting. The scene repre-
sents an evening In the mountain district
Of Pennsylvania. The sun, setting over
the mountain top. casts quiet light over
the rugged scenery that the artist has
caught with his usual skill. The peculiar
light and the shade effect Of the rays as
they strike the foliage is also admirably
done. The picture would have been great
~ improved by the addition of four figures
Of cattle in the background. but the mas
ter hand that can depict mountain scenery
with such skill is powerless when it comes
to painting figures, so that the scene is
necessarily bare of animate life.
A pretty and striking portrait that will
be contributed from the brush of Mr.. Car
roll Beckwith is a life-size picture of a
girl OF modern athletic days. She is about
twelve or thirteen years of age. but looks
the picture of robust health az she sits
with a tennis racket in her hand In the
background is a curtain of dark green
plush. The little girl is a blonde and her
dress of light blue trimmed with cream
colored lace. sets off her beauty to the
greatest advantage. The portrait is that
OF Miss Polly ogden. She is an unmis-
taxable beauty, and Mr.. 3eckwith de-
clares that he has fallen in love with this
picture as he never did with any of his
previous productions.
a REALISTIC STORM
It was hard matter for the marine ar
ust Mr.. Carlton Chapman, to decide which
of his pet pictures he would choose for
the fan exhibition, but he eventually de-
cided upon a storm scene representing the
waves breaking upon the rocks of Cape
May. The picture was painted during the
second day Of "a fierce gale, and the can
vass and artist many times during the
progress of the painting were in imminent
danger of being blown from the scene.
The lowering condition of the heavens.
and the wild action of the storm-tossed
waves, is depicted with wonderful fidelity.
