Col. Willie Jones made the
last political play. After dis
covering that his home affairs
would not permit him to en-
ter the race for the senate, he
withdrew and urged the other
candidates to do likewise. 1t
was not until he discovered
that I" his home interests
would not permit" that he de-
cided to withdraw in favor OF
Gen. Wade Hampton. 1t is
obvious to us that it is only a
political scheme whereby Mr..
Jones expects to pat Mr.. NC
Laurin out of the senatorial
race-force him out-and put
Wade Hampton in the senate.
Of course this was popular
plan which all would join. 1t
is then figured that Hampton
will hold the senatorship till
he dies, and then Mr.. ones, as
ssthe man who withdrew in
favor of sOld Wade" +" will be
a candidate for senator, and
will probably not have nearly
SO many able men in the race
as would he have had had he
not withdrawn from the race
of next year, and this will be
the means of landing him into
the senatorial chair. Johnston
deserves more credit than MI
Iones. We are sure that the
grand old Hero Hampton de-
serves to be honored in every
manner possible, and in the
words of the Chester Lantern
we conclude our remarks
MIf the senatorship is a re-
ward which we are to bestow
npon worthy and patriotic CT
items, u it should be given to
Wade Hampton if tits Po'
sition demanding actual ser
vice, y we believe he is ply
sically unable to render tina
service" This is true, ane
it is true that he deserves al
the honor we can bestow up
on him; but Mr.. Hemphill, o.
Mr. Henderson are more ca
pable Of rendering actual ser
vices than Mr.. Hampton.

and stick to it. Think the thing over
and study the particular subjects that

says the condition of affairs is such

A Clever Scheme.

An amusing scene was witnessed re-
Gently on one of the mail boats running
from France to England. The sea was
rather rough. A young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud
denly taken very Ill with sea-sickness.
She groaned and screamed in apparent
agony for some little time. At length
5 person who appeared to be a stranger
to her approached and asked whether
she would like to take lozenge, which
he guaranteed would ease her of her
pain. He had often tried it, he said, on
people, and always with the most mar
velous results. The young lady de-
injured little at first, but finally ac-
cepted the offer. Never was cure so in
stantaneous. Hardly had she swal-
lowed the lozenge when the fair pa
tient was sitting up all smiles and Or
dering ham sandwiches of the steward
Some passengers were SO struck with
the incident that they inquired what
was the remedy that had such won-
derful result, and the gentleman, who,
as he said, was the agent for the sale Of
the lozenges, disposed of considerable
number of boxes Of them at eight shil-
lings apiece. What was the surprise of
the purchasers when they saw the
young lady and her preserver go off
arm In arm on the vessel reaching Eng

Then, hastily grasping an empty glass

and made them prisoners. Hundreds
