Democratic Convention IN may

The Columbia State has discovered
that according to the constitution OF
the Democratic party, the only State
Democratic convention to be held this
year will be on the third Wednesday
in May. Says the State: The present
constitution provides for the holding
OF convention on the third Wednes-
day in May, and fer no other. It also
provides for the holding of county
conventions in the several counties in
the State on the first Monday in May
for the purpose of electing delegates
to ths: convention. Of course the
reorganization of the precinct and
ward clubs will take place prior to
that time throughout the State. It is
thus seen that State and county poll
tics will be stirring much earlier than
any one expected. When the conVen-
ton meets there will doubtless be no
end OF political log-rolling. The con-
vention will have to elect a new State
Executive Committee. and attend to
such other matters as may come be-
fore it. Those who were talking OF
the outlook, expressed the view that
the liquor referendum plan would be
laid before the convention when it
meets, the legislature having declined
to take action in regard to it on the
ground that the proper body to con-
slider it was the State Democratic Con-
vention. How much OF an issue this
will become and the probable action of
the convention in regard to it, are
purely matters of conjecture at this
STAGE.

Remarkable Gauder.

One of the most remarkable birds
in the state is owned by Mr.. James
a. Kinkead, secretary Of the Hardin
county fair association. It is a gan
der, and everybody in the neighbor.
hood is acquainted with it. The gan
der's name is ''Solid Silver" and it
answers to its name as quick as any
hand on Mr.. Kinkead's farm. The
gander acts as watchdog would
about the place, and no stranger dares
enter the yard unattended by mem
Der of the family, as those who have
tried to and been forced to beat an ig-
nominious retreat will attest. The
gander has sense, like a horse, and
learns new tricks almost every day in
the week. This gander goes to the
granary and shakes plank when the
yellow corn will roll cut for its daily
food. It follows its owner to and from
the field just as a dog would do.
When the bell is rung calling the
hands to their meals his gandership
sets up a quacking and continues i!
until all have come in, when he him
self goes to the granary and, by shak-
loose plank with his bill, shakes
ooWa corn for his dinner. If. per-
chance, Solid Silver is in the house
and any member of the family leaves
the door ajar, he does not rest until he
has closed it. His owner will be pre-
vailed on to have Solid Silver on ex-
hibition at the next Elizabethtown
far.-LouisYille Post.

AGAINST ADJOURNMENT,
Congress Not in Favor OF Leaving the
President On Deck.

Congress NOT IN E2VCr OF Leaving IOe
President On Deck.
Some of the most pronounced Cuban
Sympathizers in congress are becom-
ing very impatient. They say that
the propositions for solving the Cuban
problem, which have been lately put
forward as engrossing the presidents
attention, are similar to those .su%-
gested as long ago as the admins
tration Of President Grant, and hav-
ing failed utterly, ale unworthy Of
serious consideration now. Some
believe that the report Of the naval
court otinquiry is being delayed, not
for the purpose of putting the coun-
try in an adequate condition Of de-
fense, but in order that congress may
be out of the way and the president
settle the question on some basis which
will satisfy the financial interests Of
the country and prevent war At any
cost. This belief has its only origin II
the undoubted activity Of leading
men who are regarded as repres u
tatiYes of the administration, n the
direction of securing speedy sd,
iournment OF congress. Senator Ea1-
na expressed himself as certain that
nothing better could be done than &c
leave the whole matter IN the h&2Gs
of the president. Senator Plat, OF
New York, sings the same song.
Nothing could be better" said be,
ethan to have congress speedily ad-
iourn and allow the president to
handle this question in his own way-

FARMERS DAUGHTERS.
The Inporsaat Pa1t They Take II TIE
Management OF the Place.

There are many farmers through
out the country who are sufficiently
liberal to the boys, but who think
that girls wants should be supplied as
they suggest themselves, and with no
regard to Individual preference. Al
ter harvest, the son, who has drlVen
the reaper or helped ct threshlng, mas
his share of the profits to control and
DO with as he pleases. Certain OF the
stock have hesn given hin-a pig, a
calf or colt, which he will eventually
sell and put the proceedes in his pock'
ct. The farm offers all sorts OF op-
portunities for earnings great or small,
to which his right is never questioned.
By and by. he drives his own horse,
joins club, buys books and goes to
college, right which he has earned
and to which he is fairly entitled.
With the girl it is usually very dlf.
ferent. Il never occurs to any one
that she too, would enjoy a small! in
come Which she could count upon as
her very own, and invest as she saw
ft without restraint or objection. The
butter and eggs are sometimes her es
peciaI commodity, and from their
sales she has limited supply of pock.
ct money. But is extremely limit
ed. and frequently very uncertain.
Yet her labor in the home, ''about
the place" has done as much toward
establishing the family prosperity as
the labor of her brother. She is up
at daybreak to get breakfast ready.
She prepares frequently unassisted,
three meals a day for 365 days in
year. She sometimes does the wash.
ing and irononing, the saving and
mending, and is still at work long
after her brother is in bed asleep, or
away visiting the neighbors. She,
too, has an additional tax during har-
vest, and at those seasons when the
work upon the farm is especially
heavy but she rarely receives any
reward for the extra service required
of her. It's q manifest injustice. 4
good many o7ercareful fathers excuse
themselves upon the plea that girls
have no judgment in money matters
Well, they certainly will never &C:
quire wisdom without experience if
the means for so doing are withheld.
The financial faculty in most wo-
men lies dormant for lack Of exercise,
but it has been mar7elously developed
when it has been put to the test.
There are thousands OF women in the
country, widows. who have assumed
the management Of affairs upon the
death of the husband, who have sue
ceeded brilliantly, when the better
half failed; the mortgage paid of,
stock improved, modern farming i'm.
plements have been purchased and
The crops cultivated according to mod
ern and intelligent ideas. The profit
sharing system should includs girls as
well as boys, and there is no question
but that it will pay.

Another Coast Limo Short Cut,

The Augusta Chronicle OF Sunday
contained the following of much con.
Germ 10 South CarolinianS: ''It is
stated that the Atlantic Coast Line is
now surveying the route OF an extern
sion of their line that will put them a
great deal nearer TO Augusta than at
present. The i1H1ormation is to the
effect that the new line will be run
from Denmark to Martins Station on
the Port Royal and Western Carolina
division of the Charleston and West
ern Carolina. The reason for the
building OF this short line, is obvious.
The Atlantic Coast Line row owns
the Charleston and Western Car
olina and, at the same time,
is running its trains into Augusta
over the tracks of the South Carolina
and Georgia. By the construction
of this short line it would be enabled
to reach this city over it own tracks
for the entire distance. Just when
the work of grading, and OF laying
the tracks will commence can not be
stated. It is believed that the Coast
Line in the future will make a very
strong bid for the business OF this
section and that by shortening its
route to the east and running over its
own tracks it will compete, not only
for the passenger business. but for the
freight to such an extent that Augusta
will enjoy even lower rates than she
now has to the east and from there. !"

Cure CT Mango on hogs.

John Cruze, of Lee county, Iowa,
writes to The Rural World as follows:
'Have just had some interesting ex.
perience with mango or scab on pigs.
Lost IA out OF IS, from doseing them
with everything I heard or read
about. Was in dispair, until COM
mon sense came to my aid. Figured I
it out that it was parasite under the
skin, and to cure the pig the parasite
must be destroyed. So I mixed up
some turpentipe and coal oil, half and
half, snd added quite bit of c::lphur.
1nen, while the pigs were At the

over them, from nose to tail, by
means of g machine oil can. Have
not losta pig since, and have not been
obliged to repeat the dose.
