"At the foot Of the stairs in the front

anything TO do with the one down on the

understand why anybody should roll any
thing like a feather bed down on any
body; bulky, to be sure, but so light that
it was an easy thing to stop,
Il put UP my hands to stop this one,

stop a mountain. 1t was soft and squashy

A Tub to the Whale.

The good people who live on the salts
are still hopeful. They are always hope
full At present the sheet-anchor of their
hope is the proposed new county road to
Thunderbolt. 1t is said this proposed new
road will supply one of those proverbial
long-felt wants, in the way of a good.
hard highway to Isle of Hope and inter-
mediate points. The plan it is said is
to build the new road from the Waters
road to Thunderbolt then to use the
Bonna Bella road as far east as possible.
and rebuild the Confederate military road
and causeway to Isle of Hope This is
| doubtless an excellent route, but it in
wolves a great deal of road building
But why should such a road be built
at heavy cost to the taxpayers. when
the Meridian road can be completed and
a larger area of country benefited for a
smaller outlay? The projected road to
Thunderbolt by way of the Waters road
is in itself a heavy undertaking. one
third of the route is through two of the
largest swamps in the county, Cuyler and
Piacentia swamps. Taxpayers can form
some idea of the costliness of the scheme
by referring to the sums expended on the
| Ogeechee and Waters roads. The former
cost s. 100 per mile, hardened with a great
variety of substances. and the latter cost
$3.50 per mile, hardened with Augusta
gravel. To these figures in both cases
must be added the cost of the chain-gang.
and other expenditures. Now, II 1t cost
the figures named to improve roads al

harden a road through Cuyler and Pla-
centia swamps, TO say nothing Of the pro-
posed roads beyond?
1t is reported that the owners OF the
shell road to Bonaventure and Thunder
bolt have offered their property to the
county commissioners az a very low price:
what the figure is the Morning News does
not know. Il appears. however, that II
the figure is anyway reasonable the COM
missioners should not let the opportunity
pass for getting back into the hands of
/ the people that old and important high
way. The she'll road to Thunderbolt, and
that to White Blum also. must soon fall
into the hands Of the people. aud then the
county will have to keep them In good
order Would 1t not be well. therefore.
/ not to build any unnecessary roads. which
also would have TO be maintained?
/ With the roads recently hardened by the
county, and the Thunderbolt and whte
Blum roads made free there would remain
only the Meridian road to be compile
ted In order 10 give the county a thorough
system OF improved highways. Tho peo-
pie do not desire that the good roads they
have shall be destroyed. but they want
those which are useful made passabie.
and new ones built only where they are
actually needed.

south caroIina's Campaign.

1t may be difficult for some people to
appreciate it, but it is nevertheless a
fact that the two men of South Carolina
who were about to fight on the political
stump at Sumter on Monday are running
for the high and honorable Office Of Unit
ed States senator. one of them Is now,
and the other has been, a member Of that
most dgniied body, in which courtesy
governs. They are before the people to
demonstrate that they are possessed of the
qualities Of statesmen, which include self
control. self-sacrihce and a high-minded
concern for the welfare Of the country as
a whole. They are before the people as
moulders as wen as representatives, OF
public opinion. They are candidates for
the very highest honor which South Caro-
lima can confer upon her favored sons
And yet it appeared necessary for mutual
friends to step in between them to prevent
/ a fisticuff fight! The campaign, at its
very inception, degerenated into dlsa-
greeable, personal controversy, with pros
poets of becoming worse as it grows
older. If the contest were for the posi-
tion Of bailiff of Justices court, the
people would expect a more digniied dis
cussion of the questions at issue.
This is the second time candidates
for the senatorial position in South Caro-
lima have gone before the people Direct
vote for the senatorship virtually obtains
in that state. Upon the former occasion
the Chem governor Of the state and an
other candidate engaged in a fisticuff fight
upon the stump at Florence, and now there
is every indication that one or more fights
will characterize the canvass which Is
at present in progress. If such exhibit
tions were to be expected of senatorial
canvasses in general. there would at once
arise a protest against submitting sena-
torial elections to popular vote. The people
like to look upon their federal senators
as being considerably removed from the
petty squabbles, disagreements and fights
of the small-bore politicians. They like
to look up to their senators as big men.
worthy Of confidence, respect and emu
lation. They are opposed to sending men
to the Senate to help govern them who
cannot govern themselves
1t appears, from all of the advices, that
the disagreeable features of the Sumter
meeting were precipitated by ex-senator
Irby, who seems to be smarting from a
former defeat, and determined to take it
out" upon somebody. His departure from
the proprieties, however will probably
work its own revenge; for Evans and
Duncan determined to enter the race i'm
mediately upon receipt of the report from
Sumter, which means that Irby's strength
Will be divided. 1t was understood that
Evans and Irby had entered into deal
together, by the terms of which the former
was not to be a candidate unless some
thing turned up" Irby's break was pos
sibly the something to turn up"
which induced Evans to take the field
Duncan has but small following, and will
merely serve to help hold McLaurin's S
backing in line as against Evans.

Chandler TOO Much For oettus

Senator Pettus of Alabama likes being a
senator. but there are occasions when
he thinks there is too much flippancy
indulged in by some of the senators, says
the Washington Post This happens in
committee rooms occasionally. There was
a case before the postofice committee
which was peculiarly exasperating The
nomination of an Alabama postmaster
had been held up for some time. Some
charges were made against him rejecting
upon his moral rather than his business
integrity. Senator Chandler, the acting
chairman of the committee, suggested that
the nomination go over for a time, as it
was necessary to look into the matter
Mr.. Pettus said that if men were refused
confirmation on the grounds alleged
against the appointee they couldn't
get men enough in Alabama to fill the
offices. At all events, the man was held
up for awhile. Finally, as it was passed
over from session to session, Mr.. Pettus
became somewhat incensed.
Mr.. Chairman, 1 move that we proceed
to vote upon the confirmation" he said
Il move that the matter be POSTPONED
for one week." blandly proposed Mr. Chan
dler
What" cried Mr.. Pettus "does the
chairman of this committee refuse to put
my motion and then make one himself?
I want to know if we are to be here at
the dictation of the chairman Of this COM
mittee"
What does the senator mean by the
chairmans dictation?" said the New
Hampshire senator in the tone he uses
when he assumes to be angry.
Mr.. Pettus was staggered for a moment,
and then said the action of the chairman
was dictadon to the committee.
Let us see what the meaning of the
word 'dictation' is" said Mr. Chandler.
then We viii see if the senator from
Alabama is right in his assertion that the
chairman is debating to the committee d"
There followed quite long discussion he
tween Mr.. Pettus and Mr.. Chandler as to
the meaning of the word. Meanwhile the
clock struck H., and the whole matter
went over for week, and Mr. Pettus did

England's new 1OO-foot torpedo boat, the
Turbinia, Is attracting unusual attention
just now among builders of marine craft.
The little craft with her steam turbine
engine can cut her way through the water
at the rate of forty miles an hour with
comparative ease it is said, her speed un-
doubtedly being in advance of that of any
other craft afoat. The great difficulty
with which she has to contend. however,
is that she canot reverse her engines when
going faster than four miles an hour. This
fact, It is said, makes the new turbine en-
gine impracticable for use on large ves-
sells which are compelled to have the re-
versing power no matter what their speed.
II the reversing difficulty can be overcome,
the turbine engine may be used on larger
vessels, otherwise It's uses will be confined
to the smaller craft. This is only one of
the partially successful experiments that
are being made with view to securing
rapid ocean travel. There may be revo-
luton along this line In the near future.
