AN APPLE PROBLEM. Once upon a
time, there were two old men who sat
in the market early every morning and
sold apples. Each one had thirty ap.
Piles, and one of the old men sold two
for cent, and tho other old man sold
three for cont. In that way the first
old man got fifteen cents for his basket
OF apples, while the second old man re-
ceivcd ten cents: so that together they
made twenty-five cents each day. But
one day the old apple-man who sold
three for cent was too sick to 90 to
the market, and he asked his neighbor
to take his apples and sell them for him.
This the other old man very kindly
consented to do, and when ho got to
the market with the two baskets of ap-
pies, he said to himself, 81 will put all
the apples into one basket, for it will
be easier than picking them out Of two
baskets So he put the sixty apples
into one basket, and he said to himself,
"Now, II | sell two apples for one cent,
and my old friend soils three for one
cent, that Is the Same thing as selling
live apples for two cents. Therefore |
will sell five apples for two cents.
When he sold the sixty apples, he found
he had only twenty-four cents, which
was right, because thore are twelve
fves In sixty, and twice twelve are
twenty-fOur. But If the other old man
had been there, and each one had solo
his apples separately, they would have
received twenty-five conts. Now. how
Is that explained

Evans was the next speaker. He

such nature by such q distinguished

missed without positive proof as to it's

Mayheld said he believed Strait aud
he believed McLaurin. McLaurin
meant the national platform and Strait
thought he meant to orga nize Popul-
ism in the State. (Applause.)
Evans said Mcf.aurin told Strait
this; he said it to Talbert, he said it to
me. He talked to me about it in T.

and jeers for Evans.)
Evans continued his speech with the
statement that he did not mind the
audience being against him. He could
speak as well to his enemies as he
could to his friends.
McLaurin was received with great
applause. He spoke with so much
vehcmence that" he had to stop once

tainted. Ho SAID that Strait had

said Evans had gone too far tot day in

present on account of an attack Of
cholera morbus.
After making his usual speech,
Senator Mayfield created something Of
q senation. He explained that on the
authority Of Congressman Strait and
others he had charged McLaurin at
Chester with having attempted to or
ganize the Populist party in this
State.
He had also said that If this charge
was not true and he could not prove it,
he would withdraw from the race. II
1t was true, however, then it was in
cumbent upon McLaurin to withdraw
Since yesterday McLaurin has given
him satisfactory evidence that while
he did write national Populistic plat
form for Bowden, ho had prevented
Bowden from attempting to organize 9
Populist party in South Carolina. The
evidence was 80 satisfactory, continued

mendations Of the State board o
health, which made an inspection O
Clemson College after the fever, vii
be carried out.
1.-The trustees instructed me, as Gov
ernor, to request the State board o.
health to ask DR.. Wyman, the surgeon
general of the marine hospital service,
to send an expert sanitary engineer
and bacteriologist to Clemson to eX-
anime the buildings and grounds, with
a view to assisting in the work Of put
ting them in satisfactory sanitary
condition and prevent any recurrence
OF fever in the future"
Governor Ellerbe expressed his pro-
fund conviction that parents would run
absolutely no risk in sending their sons
to Clemson College.
The red tape way of asking tho sur
geon general to send an expert to
Clemson Is made necessary by the
regulations OF the service, as he can
only honor such request when pre-
sented by State board OF health.
