lrby's Scheme.

lrby loves Reform now, but
"Bosc' Crews, his henchman,
used to charge that he combined
with the ants to secure his cleo
tion to the constitutional conven-
tlon and conspirCd with them for
the downfall of the Reform move
mcnt. True, .'Bosc" could we'll
dispute with Larry the right and
title to the palm of supremacy in
lying which their mutual friend,
John lrby, once bestowed upon
CAN'T, hut il is probable that he
came nearer telling the truth then
than he usually does. If Irby
thinks he can fool the people of
South Carolina into thinking the
election of himself or one of hts
creatures to the United States
senate is necessary to save the
Reform movement, he is going to
waste a lot of time, money and
energy by entering the senatorial
campaign. When the movement
is reduced to such dire straits, the
decent Reformers will conclude
that it is not worth saving.-Co

Special to The Daily News.
Charleston, S c., June 3
The closing of the Hotel Calhoun's
dispensary on the grounds that
dispenser Bowman was short in
his accounts 81, was not a
great surprise to many people.
RumOrs to the effect that some
thing was wrong at the place have
been in circulation in the city for
months, and people on the inside
were constantly on the outlook
for sensation. 1t has also come
to light within the last few days
that Mr. Bowman bond as dis
penser was never filed with the
county officials, the board of con
troll not having taken the precau-
ton of looking into the matter
closely. OF course this leaves
he State with no earthly chance
OF getting the money back if it
really has been taken, as it would
be Il pretty difficult matter to get
81, 800 out of Mr. Bowman per
sonally.

In the "Twentieth Century,
has appeared an article with Judge
Slmonton as text. Never before
were in SO brief :, space so many
absurd lies gathered together. --..
The charleston Post was the first
IN this State to call attention to
them and to expose them. To
people who know anything of
Judge Simonton, they need no
contradiction, but The News re-
grets to say that several South
carolina newspapers have repro
duccd the shameful and libeIous
article without denouncing it and
without putting their readers on
guard against It's manifold false
hoods.
Among other lies is one that
Judge Simonton is speculator in
the New York exchanges. Anoth-
or is that he is worth between
half million and a million dol
lars. \ third is that he is =
friend Of the attorney of the

Special to The State.


Charleston, July p Judge

This Girl Kept an Expense Book and Lost
 Husband.
 There is North Side girl who has q laudable ambition to know inst where her money goes She has tried two or three times to keep mental mack of her expenditures, but this always proved unsatisfactory At last she decided that she must keep an exact and minute ac- count of everything she spent She got herself I small book with rulings and margins and a pliable cover and set to work in earnest She put down reli- giously everything she spenty the exact amount, the article and the date. She never allowed tho slighsazz to go till there was ohand 'get- ting it. When she IT ses. down town, she weIAsa}z - fhe list care fully i'll the c.ssrh her way home and rSr tne alhounts OH the outside of package In this way she succeeded ill keeping very satisfactory record of her expenditures
 There was only one drawback She was forever leaving the book around. Of course there are a great many people who are only too glad to read such things. The servant would see it. The man who came to tune the piano might easily have done 1t if he liked, and she did not know whether ne had or not X neighbor had once picked it up on the lawn in front of the house and brought it in, but what was worse than all tho rest was the fact that couple of girl .1. some things which she had talked a good deal about that she got for down right bargains. Jn fact. after this catas- trophe everything OH her record seemed to be shamefully cheap. However she was unwilling to give up tue bookkeep- ing, and If she didn't carry a notebook around with her she would certainly forget something, so she hetheught her self of another expedient She deteInin- ed for the purpose of mystitication to multiply everything she put down by ten---that is, to add q cipher to each en- try. In this way she could always tell that every item really cost one.tenth of what appeared on the book After this she didn't care who saw it.
 There is lot at the side of her ia ther's house and rustic seat, One day she left the book on this seat. In the evening the young man who had about concluded to ask her hand in marriage came along. He noticed the book, picked it up and looked through 1T carelessly. He was amazed. She had always claim ed to be such prudent girl, and he had believed she was. Still there he SAW:
