The proposition submitted by COL
Jones in reference to the senatorial
race has not been received favorebly
by tho State press. A number of
the opinions Of the press are quoted
elsewhere in this paper, and it may
be generally considered as fact
that the suggestion will not "pan
out"
Tho Anderson Mail has the fol-
lowing to say:
"rhe proposition of COL Jones for
all the candidates for tho senate to
Withdraw in favor Of Con. Hampton
strikes us IL absurd and one that il
purely sentimental and without Il
single element of practicability about
it. 1t is not practical politics and
its only uso will be to lot Col. Jones
out Of tho race gracefully. Every
body knows Con. Hampton and he
holds place IN the hearts of tho
people that but few Of her pHns have
over hold or ever will hold. But the
old goD"ra is now q feeble old man,
past the fur score mark and the in
lirmities of age are passing heavily
upon him and he could not possibly
fill a scat in tho senate and it would
mean that tho State would practi-
cally be without ono senator in Wash
ington during the term If he should
be elected. But could he be oloctodp
We have some doubts. And wn do
not think be could be elected with
out opposition.
"This is the day Of young mon,
and even If the candidates who have
declared themselves should withdraw,
that docs not keep out other aspiring
and ambitious young mon who want
to enjoy political honors and emolu,
ments. That General Hampton is
the greatest living Carolinian goes
without saying, but man who has
passed the four score mark is beyond
the age Of public usefnlnoss. Ho has
been unable for como time to appear
in public, and hus excused himself
from attendance upon the reunions
Of his old comrades because of tho
intirmities of old age, and it is al
most Il cruelty to attempt to drag
him now from the retiremOnt of his
old age, and we have no idea that he
will sanction such thing. He
would break down before tho cam
paign was half over, and if he did
and WAS elected, he could not endure
the labors and fatlgues Of session
Of the senate. We think it great
faux pas that Col. Jones has STUN.
bled upon, and it is n great pity that
! it has been DONE But we have this
to say, that if by any possibility all
the present candidates should get
out of the way, Of which we do not
think there is the loast probability,
and Gen. Hampton SHOULD stand for
election, which il extremely improba-
BILE, we shall be for him first, last
and all tho time"
AS the avowed candidates arc not
withdrawing with any unanimity,
the political incident raised by Col.
Jones may be said to be closed

il" Awnkns from Hts Long Deep Sleep
and FGvens Up with Fcathertop'

Mr.. Editor: How does it make you
feel, when you are enjoying a sound
and refreshing sleep, to have some
one tickle your ear with Il straw, or
drop water in your faceY Tho un-
dersigned has endured great deal
Of this tickling since he won't to sleep,
but he has slept on and dreamed on
and said nothing. But even Rip
Van Wrinkle would have walked up
before he did, if some ono had come
along and given his ears such al un-
merciful twiet rs our friend "Feather-
top" gave ours in his "Dots from St.
PhiliE s." last week. "Feathertop"
twisted us thusly: "Josh Trump has
lost his reputation working on clocks
He has always been successful, until
few weeks ago when he made Mr..
r. @. Sligh visit, and his clock was
badly ont Of fix, and Josh said he
would put it in running order and
after he had it running all right it
struck four hundred and fifty times"
Arn't that a stunnerY The only
thing left for us to do, is to plead
guilty, since it must be plain to all,
that the clock was striking in self
defence. We have some consolation,
however, in the hope that if we can
get just one more swipe at that wick
cd old clock, we'll not only make it
strike tour hundred and fifty times,
but we'll make the stubborn thing
strike every hour of its existence!
Mark that in the sand, will your
Revenge is sweet and we will now
proceed to treat our friend "Feather.
top" that he mustn't tell tales out
of school. A few days ago, while
visiting in "Feather's" community,
the undersigned unearthed the fol-
lowing, which, they say, is es true
as George Washington's hatchet
story. For brevity we adopt this
style: "Fouthertop" is in love-
nighttime-two girls--musica enter
tsinment at neighbors house-one of
the girls, "Feathertop's" sweetheart
--"Feathertop" turns up-the two
girls put their heads together-con-
spiricy-t -treason-exchange of bon
nets and wraps-sets out for the
entertainment - in the darkness
"Feathertop" is decelved-he gives
one of the girls the go-by in high
style-he takes the others arm
spreads himself - talks all kinds of
sweet things-becomos vexed at his
ideaps long silence-aslzs her a
pointed question-the game is up
tho poor girl breaks out in fit of
laughter-the girl he left behind
him, Games upon the scone and poor
"Feathertop" is found gulping at a
mouthful of conflicting apologies and
explanations, but finding himself
getting deeper in the mire, he doubles
himself up and tries to crawl into his
inside coat pocket.
Now, "Feathertop" we are even.
For goodness sake let's keep the bal
anoe to ourselves. Josh Trump.

Automatic Street Sweeper.

Since asphalt has come to be the
most generally used pavement in the
cities it is a common practice for
gangs Of men to be constantly at work
with brooms, shovels and barroWs
keeping the pavements clean, but the
labor is slow and the territory covered
by one man comparatively small. To
decrease the labor and increase the
amount of pavement to be cleaned by
one man, Jesse NJ. Harr has designed
the machine which we show in the
accompanying picture. In operation
the sweeper Is pushed along by the
man, the long brush revolving rapidly
to push the dirt ahead. The bucket
suspended in front of the brush is open
at the rear, and stands still on the
pavement just long enough for the
brush to roll the dirt into it, when
the rachel device on the large wheel
pulls the bucket up on the rope and
automatically dumps the contents into
the large can. AS soon as the dump"
ing is completed the bucket falls to
the pavement again, the slotted guide

was erected the original shaft was
presented by the Misses Randolph,
the residuary legatees of Thomas JEFF
ferson, through Dr. S. S. Laws, presi-

from active politics and, going West
bought q ranch on the Little Missouri
River in Western Dakota. There he
hunted big game, tried cattle raising
and devoted his spare time to study
ing the country and the people and to
literary work.
From boyhood, Mr.. Roosevelt had
been a close and interested student
Of American history. In 1881. when
he entered politics, he wrote a history
of the naval war Of 1872. This was
followed during his public career by
lives Of Thomas II. Benton and Cow
erneur Morris, Ranch Life and Hunt
ing Trail" Essays on Practical Poll
tics" a History of New York."
american Ideals" "The Wilderness
Hunter" Hero Tales from American
History" "The Winning Of the West"
classed as his greatest literary work,
and later life Of Oliver Cromwell.
In addition to these books he wrote
extensively and on q variety Of topics
for the leading magazines and re-
views.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not remain out Of
politics. In 1886 he was the unsuc-
cessful Republican candidate for
Mayor of New York. After that ex-
perience he devoted himself for thre
years to ranch life, study and lite
ture. In 1880 President Harriso' ~p-
pointed him a member of the national
Civil Service Commission, q position
he held until May, 1895.
In May, 1895, Mayor Strong appoint
ed Mr.. Roosevelt President Of the
Board Of Police Commissioners Of
New York
In 1897 President Mckinley appoint
ed Mr.. Roosevelt Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy. He provided shot and
shell and enforced ceaseless practice
and drill on the ships Of the navy.
From the time he entered the Office he
seemed to realize that war with Spain

ment with Roosevelt as Lieutenant
Colonel. The Roosevelt Rough Rid
ers was the result. He became Colonel
on the promotion Of Wood to be a
Brigadier- General.
When he returned with his regiment
in August, 1898, the demand for his
nomination as Republican candidate
for Governor was great. He was
nominated on the first ballot by q vote
of more than two-thirds Of the dele
gates of the convention and was elect
ed.
When the Republican National Con-
vention of 1900 met in Philadelphia,
the demand for the nomination OF
Governor Roosevelt for Vice-President
was irresistible.
Throughout his public career, which
in q few short years has been crowd
ed with more stirring events than usu-
ally fall to the lot Of one man In a
lifetime, Mr.. Roosevelt's chief and al
most only boast with his friends has
been that he was first and always q
family man.

w HEODORE ROOSEN ELL, Tue
twenty-sixth President Of the
United States, has for some
years been one Of the most
interesting figures in public life. He
has been politician, statesman, author,
soldier and public speaker. Mr.. Roose-
velt belongs to one Of the Oldest fam
lilies in this country and for two CEN
turies nine Of the name and family
have held prominent and important
place In public life, philanthropy,
finance, commerce and politics. He
was born in New York City October
27, 1858, and was educated in private
schools and at Harvard College. His
father, whose name was the same,
was a sugar refiner, a man Of wealth
and learning, but with little or no
taste for public life. His mother was
before her marriage a Miss Bullock, OF
Georgia. member Of q famous family
Of Scotch descent. Her Sreat-grand-
father was the Revolutionary Govern

sickly, hollow chested and rather un-
dersized, but he possessed enormous
nervous energy and early in life de-
termincd to become physically strong.
When he entered Harvard College he
went in for athletics anu began q sys-
tematic course Of training to build
himself up.
Soon after leaving Harvard Mr..
Roosevelt made a long trip through
Europe, where he proceeded to do
things and see things in his own way.
In 1881 Mr.. Roosevelt returned to
New York and entered politics. He
was nominated and elected to the AS

ditional terms. He was O delegate to

clumsily fashioned balancing poles
which is fastened at the middle to the
fork OF a tree. At one end Of this
primitive balance, which is as stout aa
an ordinary beam, is fixed another long
pole. the lower end Of which is SUNK
into a we'll and carries large vessel
made Of baked clay. At the opposit9
erd Of this pole are two coolies, VINO
are constantly in motion and thus
form a living counter balance.
One after another they walk with
great stSides over this narrow path
way, passing with mechanical yet q
rhythmical and supple movement from
one end Of the pole to the other, and
hardly touching slender bamboo ball
ustrade, which Is within their reach
and which is intended to serve as g
guide. When they arrive at one END
and are bowed down beneath the
weight they know that at the other
end the enormous vessel has been
filled with water and raised to the
surface Of the ground.
Large notches cut in the.rees serve
as a ladder for the barefooted Int
dams, and render it easy for them to
reach the tip Of the pole at the moment
when, having arrived at the end OF its
course, It is almost vertical. While
they are making this ascent with In,
comparable agility another man emp<
ties the water from the enormous ves1
sci into trenches by simply oscillating
the vessel, after which the manoeuvre
Is repeated.
The work of the coolies Is by Aa
means so onerous as it seems, foE
pains are always taken to have the
pole balanced correctly and Of the pro;
per weight, and In this way the tash
is much simplifed. The weight of the
coolies themselves is also taken into
account, and there are cogs by means
of which the balancing pole can be
heightened or shortened, as may be-
desired. :

ward he married Alice Lee, Of Boston.
Miss Carow went abroad to supple
ment her education by a course Of
study ald travel.
When Roosevelt had lost his girl
wife and was seeking solace in Euro
pean trip, he met Miss Carow. When
he returned to America they began a
correspondence. Their engagement
followed and they were married in
1886.
Between Alice Roosevelt-the only
child Of the first marriage-and her
fathers second wife there has always
been the warmest affection; and her
husbands sisters have been Mrs.
Roosevelt's most intimate friends.
Like her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt
has a pronounced literary bent. She
