was the task in which there was most

some time past.
Columbia Cor. News and Courier, Jan. ze.
The chief fight, and one which has
been going ON for some time. was for
Comptroller General. Mr.. Epton,
who was appointed by Governor
EIlerbe for the unexpired term of Mr..
Norton, who bad been elected to
Congress. was opposed by Mr.. Der
ham, who, until ous.ed, was chief
clerk of the Comptroller Generals
office. Mr. Epton took Mr. Norton's
place and Mr.. Bradley, of Abbeville,
the place held by Mr.. Derham. The
friends of Mr.. Derham contended
that he should have been named as
Comptroller, as he was competent
and deserved the promotion, and
when he was made to give way to
Mr.. Bradley the fight was begun. A
great many have said that it was
fight against Governor Ellerbe, an
effort to slap his face, poiiti-
cal!y speaking. If such was the
case in the election of Mr..
Derham it was the fault of Gov
ernor Ellerbe's friends. for they
should not have appealed for the cleo.
tion of Mr.. Epton on the ground that
to defeat him meant to slap Governor
Ellerbe, and in passing it may be said
that there were members who were
not averse to giving Governor Ellerbe
8 political kick, although many voted
for Mr.. .Derham because they thought
he had been badly treated and de-
served vindication. As it is Cover.
nor Ellerbe and his friends have but
small reason to feel complimented at
the result.
In looking over the vote it will be
| found that those of the Charleston
delegation who voted voted solidly for
| Mr.. Epton The Charleston delegation
was closely watched, and there were
all kinds of speculatiens because OF
their vote, which speculations may
have been well grounded or may have
been dreams, but it may be intimated
that this appears to be day OF poll
tics and there was terrific amount
of talk before the elections were be.
gun.
The Richand delegation, it viii! also
be noted, voted for the confirmation
of Governor Ellerbe's candidate. II
these votes were taken from those o.

A Denver telegram dated the 10th .ult. says The prices of cattle are booming. Sturgeon of Tempe sold two cars of calves today at SIS head. Many predict that 535 will be paid for stock cattle within three months. offers of S26 for Arizona 3-year-olds were refused. There is a great cattle shortage beyond d doubt. Northern buyers are slow to contract on account of the high prices but they must have southwestern cattle to fill their ranges
 Holbrook Argus: Hon. w. c. Barnes of tine Live Stock Sanitary Commis- sion spent a day in HOlbrook this week and in an interview told of the workings of tue commission. He says when the new board took charge the work was greatly in arrears, and the new board is working faithfully to catch up They expect to have the brand book issued in about three months. The work of the commission is very arduous. their mail often amounts to 2UO letters per day, all of which must be answered, and the matters there referred attended to. A large number of brands have been re. fused registration on account of simi larity with others already recorded To aid these parties the commission have invented brands giving suct parties the privilege Of adopting them.
 A recent Washington telegram says The remarkable growth of the exports of Mexican cattle to the United States forms the subject of report to the State Department from United States Consul KindrIck, at CiudaC Juarez. He says that while it wa supposed the large exports were at tributable to desire to forestall th' increased duties carried by the Ding ley act, yet this has proven to b, erroneous, for the trade goes on in creasing steadily, while many cattle men have exhausted their herds ant all have realized handsomely. Th' island of Cuba draws about 5000 heat per month from Mexico, and the con sul says that the price of cattle fo home consumption in Mexico vii soon rise to point where they can not be profitably exported. There ar, not many cattle left in Mexico and tn quality exported to the United State isof the low grade that has no effec on prices in the southwest.

gave "a thunderous knock at the door.
Mrs. Cannon threw up a window, and
asked:
Who's there?"
Its me-" answered Dance.

'I'm a government recruiting officer.

"What do you want?" asked Mrs.
Cannon, in tones of anxiety and appre-
hension.

sponee. "IIe has been drafted, and we
want TO send him to the front imme-
diatly."
Mrs. Cannon began to cry. Her hus-
band who was not feeling well, was, so
the Wayfarer is told, in bed and fast
asleep. She awOse him and acquainted
him with the orders from outside. Then
the children We're awakened to say
goodbye to their father While he was
dressing the whole family mingled its
tears. The wife and children followed
Dennis down to the door. He kissed
them all, and said farewell, the recruit
ing squad standing during the affecting
scene. He stepped TO the pavement, the
door closed and the s0rrowing mother
and children returned to their apart
menls
The squad marched Dennis down to
Tom Ryan's saloon five or six squares
away, and ushered him in. Then they
all lined up at the bar and the squad
called for drinks in honor Of Dennis.
He was not in q very cheerful frame OF
mind. but he could not be disObliging.
Finally he was told that he was only
drafted to take a drink. and could go
home whenever he wished. AT the first
opportunity which presented itself for

a daughter always accompanying her

association, and the sharing with her
brothers in all the sports, pastimes joys
and sorrows did not in the slightest de-
gree spoil the beautiful womanliness
Of her character, as her life since has

TO grow up a typical English girl full
of health, life and vivacity, fond Of fun
and exceedingly kind-hsarted.
