Sam Taylor Redivivus.

Sam Taylor has been so busy at
work all this year that be had no
time to be interviewed or to talk F;
it was eat and run to his work from
days end to days end. Eut on
last Tuesday we caught him in his
frying pan giving last sop be-
fore he should break into a trot to
his work, and this is what he told
us:
Sup in North Carolina, where /
am supposed to have come from,
there lived once upon time q
man by the name of Huckel, and
be was q rattler too. Well; Huckel
hired a man to work for him by
the name of Berry and agreed to
pay him by the month. Berry,
however. presented his account at
once and demanded payment,
which brought forth the following
reply:
90 You have brought me your
bill, Berry, before tits due, Berry ;
your father, the elder Berry, would
not have been such a goose, Berry
but you need not look 80 black,
Berry, for 1 don't care a straw,
Berry, and if we get into a null,
Berry, I'll make you a. blue, Ber-
ry, as sure as my name is Huckel,

): The so.callsd man shirtwaist,

"The so-called man shirtwaist,
sporting the inevitable dude, is
now daily in evidence on oul
streets, to the disgust of the ma.
jority of sensible people. The ego
tistical silly dude, the poor fool,
to what ignoble depths will he de-
scend to attract attention ?"-The
Edgefeld Cor. Johnston Mohitor.
The so-called "dude" has the
same right to wear shirt-waists as
this correspondent had of express
ing his opinion on the subject and
the so-called dude thinks about
the same thing about his views as
he thinks of the gentlemen who
wear shirt-waists. If man sees
fit to wear shirt-waists he has the
same right to do 80 as he has to
wear pants. Why wait until
style is five or ten years old, OF
propably out of style in the north,
before we follow suit I? Doesn't
man look as we'll with the waist on
as the man who is in evidence daily
in their shirt-sleeves? The ladies
wear shirt-waist and look pretty
and sweet in them, and no one has
pronounced ssuch a curse ss the
above upon them, and the men
have the same privilege to wear
.shirt-waists if they feel like it. i

SENATOR McLaurin delivered ar
address at Kennedy grove, Spar
tanburg. on July 4th, to about l..
200 hearers. The truest thing he
said was something we all knew
"Our past as a nation is safe, but
it is gone forever; We cannot re.
call or change it. We can, how.
ever seize the present. and wisely
use the opportunity to make our
future the realization of the wild
est dreams Of the most optimistic
Americans. This accounts for
some of McLaurin's past actions !:
be has had some extremely wild
dreams, and he is now trying to
use the present to make his opti-
mistic dreams come to pass. You
better wake up. Johnny, before it
is too late, for it is evident you
have been saying some very dreamy
things of late while advocating
your commercial democracy.

are changing their furnaces 30 es

convenient, it will save about SO

followed by other railways, and
will save many thousands of dol
