AN OXYGEN DRUNK.

For those who are in search of
novelties oxygen intoxication will
perhaps commend itself, says the
New Era. 1t has the merit of be-
ing out of the ordinary, but can
be obtained through the medium of
a new machine designed for family
use. Of course, it is not intended
that families should use machines
to get drunk, but they can do so if
they desire. One of the machines
will furnish two per cent. of extra
oxygen to whole house if desired.
but for ordinary purposes ope-halt
of one per cent. would be ample.
Two per ctnt. would unduly ex-
hilarate the inmates, causing them
to skip around and behave them
selves in manner too undigniied
There arc other uses for this novel
apparatus. One of the machines
placed in front of the furnace door
in winter will make the fire much
hotter and save a large part of the
fuel.

THE COURT.

Judge James Aldrich presides at
this term of our court. His charge
to the Grand Jury on Monday
morning was plain, practical, and
complete.
Solicitor Thurmond appears for
the first time on his native heath
as the States prosecuting officer
We ehall tell later how he acquits
himself of the charge placed upon
him by his constituents.
Tillman R. Denny of Johnston
is foreman of the Grand Jury.
Before proceeding to business,
the matter of the legality of the
jury, some of whom live in Green
wood county, was in an informal
way called to the attention of the
court. Whereupon Gov. Sheppard
read the act creating Greenwood
county, and the Judge decided that
the jury had been legally listed
and drawn, at least SO far as the
March term is concerned.

Senator Hawley turned pale and
trembled visibly. IF the Senator
applies that to me, l have a suffi-
cient answer" he said angrilly.
Two or three other Senators
gathered around Senator Hawley,
endeavoring apparently to calm
him. Finally he walked with
them into the cloak room, while
Senator Tlllman continued his
speech.
81 don't want to say anything,
harsh," he said; "God knows I've
got enough vitriol in me now."
Going on with the subject Of ar
NOR plate, he said he could see no
explanation for the state of affairs
except that the manufacturers had
their friends in the Senate cham
ber. There was proof that the
government was to be looted to the
extent of two or three millions,
yet Senators said: "We can't help

down and their hands in its pock-
cts, yet if any one opposed them,
if any one proposed that the
government do it's own work, make
it's own armor plate, Senators were
quick to bring out the awful spec
tire of socialism, said Mr.. Tillman.
"The country's eyes are on us.
We are already disgraced because
we do not hasten to do the bidding
of Wall street fast enough. The
touch of the button between Wall
street and the Senate seems to
have been broken somewhat lately
and so the metropolitan press is

I expired term. Miles McSeeney
would never think of being elected
Governor himself, and there would
be a vacancy to fill when he retired.
For this Mr.. Archer is understood
to be an applicant. He will, it is
almost certain, oppose Gov. FL
lerbe if he is in the race, with
some hopes of success, and it is
positive that he will have a good
showing at the place if Ellerbee is
OF in the field.
Nr. Archer, who is the re-
p- native of the denominational
col @ faction in the State, is a
peculiar political figure. Nothing
had ever been heard of him out
side of Spartanburg County until
he was sent to the Senate last
year to fill out an unexpired term.
An obscure Baptist minister, who
had about retired from the field of
minister al work, his only politi-
cal poe.tol was one of opposition
to the State colleges, which have
been favorite target for aspiring
politicians for the past seven
ye. 9. Upon his appearance in
the Senate he proved genuine
surprise.
A tall, slim, wiry-looking man,
with scrub of a beard and o. tan
gle of iron gray hair, attracted
very little attention until he took
part in his first debate. Then
the old members. who had regard
ed him as harmless "hayseed,"
discovered that they had struck
tartar. With views decidedly ex-
tire le and as decidedly original,
and with style of delivery that
reminds one of that of John j. H.
balls, he threw himself into every
debate with telling effect. Heisboth
an iconoc' ast and a pessimist, he
h ass ID an un' ual position,
but unus a positions seem to be
popular with the people who elecl
Governors in this State, and Mr..
Archor may be decided on as the
man to pit against Tillman four
years hence, when combined
effort will be made to shake loose
his already weakening hold upon
the people.
The test will be made upon the
Gubernatorial race. however. IfI
Archer should win in that, the
visitors III tine Senate Gallery at
Washington may yet see an un-
combed individual fourishing'
pair Of long, bouy arms to accent
the proposition that Thomas
Jefferson might have been all right
in his day, but that day had pas

Carolina had the floor.

To the Churches of Edgefield
Association.

DEAR BRETHREN: The conven-
tional year of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention is fast drawing
to a close. South Carolina Bap-
lists have been asked to contribute
their quota of funds to the Home
and Foreign mission Boards }or
purposes of missinaey enterprise.
We are far short of our apor-
tionment up to date, and 1 write
to suggest that general effort be
made throughout all the churches
of old Edgeheld to do their full
the last of April.
The third week in March from
the 18th to the 31st has sbeen set
apart aa a week of self-denial in
behals of the Home Mission
Board. Let US all observe IL Ior
Christ's sake and give the price of
the sacrifice to missions. Then
make a special effort for Foreign
missions in April.
Brethren the support of the gos-
pei, which is the power of God un-
to salvation to the believer, must
be our chief aim, for the spread OF
the gospel at home and abroad is
the very purpose and object of
the gospel at home and abroad is
the very purpose and object of
the constitution of q church. If we
fail in this we fail in the object
of our organization.

for some time before their safety

Where Frye Resembles Calhoun

The other day I walked into the
Senate gallery and found tha'
the roll was being called on the
question of considering Morse..s
Liquor bill. Frye was in the
chair, and while Harris, Hill and
Aldrich all know more about
parliamentary law than Frye, be
is the best presiding officer the
Senate has known since John c.
Breckinridge. Frye follows the
rule of Calhoun, perhaps the
greatest officer in the history of
the Senate, not excepting Aaron
Burr.
Calhoun would not permit one
Senator to refer to another Sera-
tor as"my friend from Virginia"
or as "the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts." The correct phrase
was "the Senator from Virginia"
of "the Senator from Massachu-
setts." 1t is said that it was worth
a journey across the continent to
hear Calhoun announce a vote in
the Senate. There was more of
the Roman in his look than in
any other public man of our
history. His eyes burned like
Goals of fire and there was dignity
enthroned in every lineament and
movement. When Calhoun anoun-
ced vote, he said in voice that
penetrated the further most recess
of the chamber: Senators, on
the question the yeas are--and
the nays are, The ayes have it
and the motion is agreed to-"
Frye is the only man | have
ever seen preside over the Senate
who announces q vote with that
impressiveness we can imagine
Calhoun empl ,yed, and it is doubt
full if even Calhoun could utter
the word Senator with more ros
tundity than Frye gives to it.

Senator Tillman Heard From.

Senator Tillman created quite
a stir in the Senate on last Monday
when the armor plate question was
brought up for discussion as the
following press dispatch will
show:
"Senator Tillman of South Car
olina provoked a turbulent scene
when he charged that the armor
plate manufacturers had their
paid agents in that body who were
robbing the government. The
charge was resented by Senator
Hawley of Connecticut, ,whereupon
Tillman said monopolies have this
Senate in their victims pocket"
Senator Hawley at this charge
half rose from his chair as though
he would interpose an objection,
then changed his mind and sank
back.
81 would hate to say, or even in
sinuate," Mr.. Tillman continued,
twirling his glasses in his hand,
"that these armor plate manufac-
lures have their paid agents in
this Senate"
Then Mr.. Hawley rose, begin
ming: "Does the Senator dare?-"
Mr.. Tillman took the words
from his mouth. 81 dare to say"
he shouted, "that 80 far as [ can
zee there are things here that can
be- explained on no other theory"
.'If the Senator dares to say, or
even to insinuate, such a disgrace
full thing, he says what is unture
and what is unworthy of a gentle
man." Mr.. Tillman replied very
delibately that "the gal
led jade winces," and it looked for
a time as though personal confli@t
was imminent, until Mr.. Hawley
was escorted to the cloak room.
"Although a member of this Ns-
val Committee" began Mr.. Till
mar, who followed MIR. Elkins,
..and although 1 have gwen as
much time to this question as |
could spare from my other duties.
1 am not able to give the Senator
as much information as be wants.
But l am able to say" he add
ed with emphasis, THAT no recent
expenditure Of the government
has been s. reeking with fraud
and SO dlsgraceful to those COLI
nected with ii.
When Secretary Whitney made
the first contracts for armor plate
it was understood that those enor.
NOUS prices were to be paid only
for time and Oh account of the
great expenditure necessary tc

Columbia, S. c., March g.
There was a time in the history
of South Carolina when it was an
easy matter to say who would be
the next Governor or Senator. A
close corporation attended to these
matters with mutual understand
ing that the members should take
turns at Office holding, and there
was no trouble whatsoever about it.
When G was slated it was un-
derstood that D would have it next
time, and D. was satisfied and
happy. Now things ere changed
Since the advent of Tillman
and his ism, the only ;hing that
E I'd F are positive about is that
n er of them has the slightest
shv,v for anything whatsoever-a
very unhappy condition of affairs
for these gentlemen, as we'll as for
G and III and their successor who
would have been. But, while
politics in the Palmetto State is in
this muddled condition, and it is
as a rule, unasafe to predict any
thing, i is interesting to note an
impression that has been growing
for some time that the next Cover
nor may be a miuister of the Cos
Up :.
South Carolina has had great
many different kinds of Cover
nors; the day was when only a
wealthy man could aspire to the
position. and then there came q
day when war records were neces-
sary passports, and more recently
day when unqualified indorse-
ment of the farmers and their
movement was test. But South
Carolina has been heard of more
often in connection with certain
remark which one of it's Governors
is alleged to have made to a Cover
nor of North Carolina than in any
othor, and it is safe to say that
her people have never even thought
