COmmendable Action.

AS our readers are aware, there is to be
race for congress over in the seventh
district, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. J. W. Stokes. There are
several candidates spoken of for the po'
sition, and among them are several gentle
men who now hold public offices. Thos
F. Brantley will run, and he has set a
precedent which we hope to see followed
He was State Senator from Orangeburg
county, but has resigned as such, in order
that the vacancy might be filled in the
same primary which nominates con-
gresham, thus avoiding the necessity of
another election should he be successful
Every man who goes into the congres-
sional race should put himself on tine
same footing with Brantley, and resign
the Office now held. Brantley may never
60 to congress, and we do not know that
we would support him were we in the
seventh district, but his action in resign
ing is certainly commendable. We hope
the time will come in South Carolina
when no man will dare to run for one
Office while holding another. In this race,
it appears to be up to" Brantley's oppo-
nents who are Office holders at present.
= If they do not follow his lead and resign,
it seems 70 that tbeE will be seriously
handicapped in the congressional race.

stand there for fifteen minutes debating
whether or not Will ought to have told
Clara that secret which he knew well
enough was none of Clara'S business One
day the lawyer left his office and goingto
another telephone in the building, called
up his own Office. Of course Maggie
rushed frantically to the phone and
answered.
Hello" said the lawyer in a mutlled
voice. This is lineman testing the
wire. Kindly stand one foot i'll front of
the receiver and say hello
Maggie obeyed:
Thank you. Now stand two feet on
one side and say hello
Maggie complied.
Thank you. Now stand TWO feet on
the other side and say hello" 1t was
done.
Thank you. Now stand on your head
and say hello"
Maggie seems to be somewhat back
ward in answering the telephone now.

WORK IN 4 LIGHTHOUSE.
Daily Tasks Performed Ia KceDlnS
tho Lamps bright.

The duties q the lighthouse, keeper
are many hnd important. The top Of
the tower is usually tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern is in the
center 0i the room. It is 4 great prism
Of glass, in shape like 4 beehive. The
lamp is set into this, and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
of the lamp and make it 4 great beacon
seen far off over the waters. Should
the luuIinant be 4 iiaShliSht, there IS
machinery to be wound up every few
hours 70 cause it to rcvolvc. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower. takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. At
midnight the lamp is changed. y fresh
ly filled one is put in the place OF the
first lighted one.
When storms are raging or fOgs pre-
vatling. the keeper stays awake to
wind the machinery that keeps the fog
signal booming over the water Many
sleeplcss nights are thus spent by the
light keepers in devoted vigil Of the
aids to navigation. At the gray Of
dawn the keeper is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be-
fore the red rim of the Sun appears the
lamp is extingushed. the fine prismatic
lenses are covered, and the huge panes
of glass that form the walls of the
room are curtaincd. The large lamp Is
carried down the flights Of IN almost
perpendicular ladder and when filled.
trimmed and cleaned is ready for the
sunset hour. The work of the keeper IS
not concluded with this feat. The most
perplcxing portion of the daily routine
Is now to be performed.
