dial hospitality and the lavishness of its
entertainments, was the scene Tuesday
evening of one of the most elegant affairs
ever given in Columbia. The beautiful

Ouay'S End i'm Sight,

Quay has seemed an irrisistable power
in Pennsylvania politics, but persistent
fighting on the part of a determined OPP
position has had its effect. Apparently
the downfall of Pennsylvania boss F"
is now in sight. Press dispatches from
Washington Indicate that Quay will
not be seated as senator. In that event
he is not likely To recover the prestige
ne lost when he failed of reelection at
the hands of the last Pennsylvania leg
islature The opposition, encouraged
by results already achieved, will be
greatly strengthened for further con-
tests with Quay.
The success of the movement against
Quay in Pennsylvania, undertaken with
little real hope of accomplishing results,
Is full of encouragement for the enemies
of "bossism' everywhere. No boss
is inyulnerable, no matter how strongly
he may seem to be intrenched.- Chicago

Running a Newspaper.

To run paper without occasion
ally publishing an item that is det-
rimental to some person is like
running a railroad without having
accidents or mishaps. 70 do either
is a physical impossibility. No man
on earth IS to so great an extent con-
stantly at the mercy of both friends
and enemies as the editor of a news
paper. He must get much of the in
formation concerning transporting
events secord or third handed, or
not at all. Frequently statements
are received from supposedly trust
worthy sources which are subse-
quently found to be without foun-
dation Not one editor in thous
and williully ipjnres either friend
or foe bv misrepl e5entation. Go to
him and ask for a correction, and
nine cases out of ten, if your case Is
Just, you will be received politely
and proper correction will be made
wit pleasure.-Fourth Estate.

in Columbia and Vicinity.
There has been more or less talk of
smallpox beng in Columbia for the last
two months, and from time to time
cases have been reported by the health
officers, and transferred from their
homes to the pest house. Now there
are said to be some thirty or forty of
these cases scattered over the negro
settlements on the outer edges of the
city, and contracts for the building of
two pest houses, one for the males and
one for the females, have been let, and
will be ready for use by the 10th of
January.
The cases are on the outskirts of the
town, and confined to the negroes, and
so mud type that very little concern is
felt about it by the public generally.
OF the many cases reported in this and
adjoining counties this year, not single
death has occurred, and smallpox that
does not kill, loses its terror.
