A great deal has been said and writ
ten about 'little brown Jug" but the
half has never been told. Hearing
that we were somewhat in disposed,
Moike Dyer, the iolliest Irishman of
them all, has presented us with two
beautiful specimens of the iug-art. One
contained "The Cream of Irish Whisky,
Shamrock, and the other, "'The Cream
of Old Scotch Whisky, Bonnie Castle. I"
We get this information from the tables
on each, and presume its to be used in
coffee and SIGH. Moike knew we were
about to move to our new home, Built
less, where snakes and alligators
abound and-we accept the antidote in
the spirit that it is given and wish the
donor a long life of Irish happiness
and prosperity.

Mr.. Mckinley is finding the hot wa
ter in which he has been ever since he
got back to Washington much more
uncomfortable than that in which he
bathed at the Hot Springs. The mess
in Cuba, where the Cuban army is al
most on the verge of open revault, is
not conducive to his peace of mind, but
it is no more than might have been ex-
pected from the policy that he has al
lowed Alger to attempt to carry out
over there. Some go as far as to charge
that Alger is trying to drive the Cuban
army into revolving for purposes of his
own, although it is difficult to imagine
what purposes he could have that would
be served by such misfortune as that
would necessarily prove to be.

The Furnace Deal.

The johnson City and Embreville
furnaces have been sold to the Garter
Syndicate, but there will be no change
in the management of either of the
properties at present. Mr.. Carter and
several officers of the Company were in
johnson City Wednesday on tour Of
inspection and went out to Embreville
in the afternoon. They are not yet
ready to announce their plans for the
future, but it is safe to predict that
they will build line of road from
Elizabethton to a connection with the
o. r. & c., near Chords and get to
johnson City over that line. They will
also build from Erwin to Embreville
and thus be able to supply both of theil
furnaces with material over their own
lines. Last week 10 new gondolaf
passed through the city for the Va. 6

The most amusing feature of the
speakerehip campaign is the frantic eff
forts of what may be slangly called the
creed push" to retain their grip upon
the plums in the house organization.
Their latest was an appeal to the ex-
Gear to defer his resignation until af-
ter he is elected speaker and has named
the committees. Whatever else he may
be, Mr.. Reed is not fool. He knows
that at best his election to be speaker
again would have been doubtful-not a
few believe that to have been his real
reason for retiring; and that neither he
nor any other man would stand ghost
of a show to be elected speaker when it
would be known that his only object
was to put the organization of the COM
mittees into the hands of his friends
and then go out.

BE Careful

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

Railroad News.

1t has been previously announced in
THE COMET that the South Carolina &
Georgia Extension Company would
issue bonds and build a road from
Blacksburg to Spartanburg, paralleling
the road recently purchased by the
Southern. The s. G. & G. Elk. Co. is
the old Three C's. We find the follow
ing notice in the Raleigh, N. c., News
and Observer of the 21st inst. It be-
gins to look like something was going
to be done to renew our faith in the
Three C's. So mote it be:
! San attorney was here yesterday to
have the mortgage of the South Caro-
lina and Georgia Extension Company,
for 81, 800, 900, registered.
'He went to the Office of the secre-
tary of state to have the instrument
recorded, as was done in South Caro-
lima, but was informed that a different
system of registration prevailed in this
state, and that the mortgage must be
registered in the office Of the clerk of
court of each county through which
the road runs.
"The mortgage is adorned with 5000
worth of stamps, the tax being $50 on
every 800, 900 represented.

1t is stated that there will probably
be change in the ownership of the
Carolina and Northwestern Railroad,
which at present extends from Chester,
$. C., to Lenoir, N. c., distance OF
1903 miles. 1t is a narrow gauge road,
and the scheme as outlined is to change
the road to standard gauge and ex-
tend it over the Blue Ridge Mountains
at what is said to be one of the most
favorable points on the whole range.
This point is near Blowing Rock, and on
into Tennessee, where it will connect
with one or more of the great systems
Of the west.
Touching this proposed change the
Yorkville correspondent of the Charles.
ton News and Courier prints the follow
ing, which will also be of interest in
Tennessee.
York county owns 1000 shares in the
road, of the par value of 800. During
the past four or five years the stock has
not been considered to have any mark
ed value, So being the ruling price
whenever for any reason it changed
hands.
At the recent session of the legisla-
ture q bill was passed which authorized
the county commissioners to dispose of
the county's stock for $15.5 per share.
Several weeks ago Mr.. w. R. Carroll,
of this place, asked the commissioners
for an option on the stock, and, after
considering the matter at length, it was
agreed that he should have it at 500 per
share. The public has not yet been in
formed who Mr.. Carroll represented.
Yesterday there was an entirely new
development, which seems to indicate
that there will be other important de-
yelopments in the near future.

Barber & Marion, of Chester, came up
on the morning train and requested a

I. The claim that thegovernor
sent in his veto of the sugar
bounty bill to influence the
veto On the iron bounty bill
seems unfounded. when it is
known that when Gov Lind
sent in his veto it Was near
the end of the third day; and
all bills not signed or rejected
IN three days became laws
anyway. :: But even if the
governor were attempting to
influence the legislature it is
no more than. Cleveland did
when he coerced congress
into passing, the-law.repealing
the Sherman. silver purchase
act, or the present action of
Mckinley in attempting to
push through the army reor-
ganization bill. If the time
was inopportune the speaker
and not the governor is re-
*sponsib1e, for thevetomessaee
could have been held until
after the vote of the iron
bill. The discussion of the
governors intentions in the
matter obscures hisargument
ON the bounty principle, which
may be alluring in theory
but vicious in practice. Ger
tainly every citizen of north
ern Minnesota wishes the
city of Duluth to become a
great manufacturing centre
as well as a great shipping
port. But the Duluth papers
not long ago were so insistent
that the high rates on iron ore
were what prevented theZen-
18th city from becoming
great iron manufacturing city
that the people were thor
oughly educated on thatpoint.
1t is too much to expect that
they shall change their ideas
on the matter at short notice
just because Duluth thinks a
bounty instead of rate reduc-
ton will sooner bring it smell
tiers.
