Ii You

To Go By

To go buy a Bicycle don't do so I'M
til you first know it were wise to give
OURS the ego by" Why we sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler Columbia" and
"Stearns" are known to every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
"Stearns" this time, as the lot of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia, -
and you do not want to hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we will tell
you about them when they get here.
But if you want a pretty mount, some
thing up to date, come in and see our
81 "Columbias" and "Ramblers;;" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received. and we are sure
to be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (44) BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March 3Oth, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy a wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our Columbus" this year, as well
as our "Ramblers," are fitted with the
well-known G.. & ]. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen
uine G.. & J. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G.. & J. tire is sold by the
Rambler Agency here, and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G.. & J. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair: looks don't wear, you
know.
Points of interest TO you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias." the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies'
"RambIers:" in fact. you will find lots
TO interest you, and you are welcome to
examine any wheel TO your hearts con-
tent, even if you have no idea of buy

Fairchild Is n war veteran and could not be re-
moved except for cause. He was cited to ap-
pear before the board and show cause why he

had drawn any salary since February. He said
he was sick. The records show that somebody
has been drawing the salary regularly. The

Brown. voted with the Democrats for Fairchild's
dismissal.

SOUTH CAROLINA sENATORsHIP.
An Interesting Political Contest TO Follow tho
Death or senator Earle.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-There Is already much
speculation rs to the probable successor Of the
late Senator Earle of South Carolina. 1t is said
that Gov. Ellcrbe wants to come to the Senate
himself, and 1t is suggested that he will probably
appoint some personal friend who will be willing
to step aside and make place for the Governor
when the Legislature meets next January. SEN
ator Tillman is anxious to regain tho power he
once held In South Carolina by debating the Sc
lection OF his colleague. He was bowled over in
the last Senatorial contest, when his personal
friend and political lieutenant, John Gary Ev-
ans, was defeated for the Senate by Judge Earle.
Although Senator Tillman declined TO discuss
the subject Of Judge Earle's successor to-day
prior to leaving for Grcenville to attend the
funeral, II is understood that he would like to
see the Governor appoint John Gary Evans to
the vacancy. 1t would be regarded as a Tillman
victory, and 1t would in q measure rehabilitatc
Ti!lman in the estimation of the South Carolina
Democracy, who are showing signs of wcarincss
at his political domination. The Dispcnsary law
the knight of the Pitchfork. and 10 feels that
premacy in the State. His term in the Senate
expires three years hence. and thcreis already a
movement on foot to relieve the Senate of his
picturesque presence.
Tillmanism has been paramount in the State
for several years past. and the election of Judge
during that period. While Gov. Ellerbe is re-
garded as q Tillmanite. he Is more conservative
and less dictatorial than the "pitchfork" Sena-
tor. The Governor and the Senator have broken
several lances before, and an intensely interest
ing contest is about to take place in South Caro-
lima.
COLUMBIA s. c.. May 21.-There is little doubt
as to the successor Of Senator Earle, and as Gov.
Ellcrbe thinks the Democrats should have their
full strength in the Senate at once. he will prob
ably make the appointment before many days.
Congressman John l. McLaurin is looked upon
as practically certain to receive the appoint
ment. If appointed, he will be elected. whether
there is q primary next fall, for it is left entirely
to the Legislature.
McLaurin is the youngest man in the South
Carolina delegation. He was Acknowledgement
for four years. and was elected to Congress for
Ways and Means Committee. and recently spoke
in favor of a duty on cotton.
