Hampton and Morgan.
Spartanburg Herald

SpartaQOurg f1eIHlQ.
Gen. Wade Hampton WAS as gallant SOL
dier as ever fought for any cause. He Is as
pure patriot as ever rescued people from
political prostratlon. In public and private
years he is the idol of his people. His charac.
ter Ia irreproachable.
While We have uothing but praise for Wade
Hampton and we love him above all the men
Senator MoLauIin republican upon the
mere dictum OF General Hampton. II he can
show that Mclaurin has been traitor TO the
democratic party he owes II TO bis people TO
specify, The executive committe gave mere
~ their opinion. as did Senator Tillman.
It is too serious a matter TO brand man
elected by the democrats OF the state on any
McLaurin has deserted the democratic party
and joined the republican, and let him come
before the democrats OF this state with his de.
fence. If he Is not democrat, democrats VIII
ions Is illogical and unfair.
Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama was
as gallant a confederate general as ever drew
sword. He has been honored by his state and
ia still occupying the highest position In the
gift of the people Of Alabama. he is consider.
ed the ablest constitutional lawyer and the
most profound statesman on matters OF inter-
national law In the senate. His reputation
along these lines Is not confined to the demo.
cratic party nor sectional lines, 1t Is national.
He voted as McLaurin did and wRs triumph
antly reelected In Alabamt. As against the
mere opinion OF General Hampton that Mo
Laurin ia republican we place these words
from Senator Morgan:
"I consider Senator MoLaurin one Of the
ablest men In the senate. He is young, he IL
modest, but he Is very able. ! cannot think
of one instance where McLaurin has had bis
democracy challenged. One may vote for or
against subsidies-but all democrats In the
senate vote for subsidy at one time or anoth-
er-and still be q true democrat. L consider
the man progressive who faces each and ev.
cry public question as II comes up and tries to
solve it for himself. No one can say
that this man is not good democrat or that
man is not, because ha may vote for or
against some bill in the United States senate
or In the lower house which may appear TO
involve directly the democratic or republi-
can principles"

Mimickinr the Queen.

Few people are perhaps aware now
thoroughly Queen Victoria enjoyed q
Joke. A gentleman in waiting, whom we
will call Mr.. b, distinguished for his
initiative powers and dramatic talent
was a frequent visitor at both Windsor
and Osborne. One day the queen, Look
ing with certain austertty straight into
his face, demanded: -,
"Now, Mr.. b, I am perfectly well
aware that when my back Is turned you
initiate me. wish to see how you do 1t
this minute"
Poor Mr.. B. fell straightway into
the royal trap, crimsoned, faltered and
utterly lost his countenance.
"Ah," exclaimed the queen, Il see !!
was right! You ought to be ashamed OF
yourselfr' and then added, laughing as
heartily as any schoolgirl, But, mind
you, don't do it again"

McLsurin Strikes Back.

BY far the warmest paper that has appeared
in print for many day is the reply OF Sena.
tor McLaurin TO the Executive Committee.
The members, when they read it. will feel
ashamed OF themselves for allowing Tillmsn
to place them in so ridiculous position.
Tlllman will no doubt reply, and thus it
will be that our Senators will keep up the
circus to the entertainment Of the people.
This letter Of McLaurin will put Tillman
on the defensive. Heretofore he has been on
The aggressive. Let the work progress, and
let the people read everything on both sides.
The people, when Informed, will do right. In
McGtaurin's letter there are some startling
statements, which must bring ont further in
terestAng facts as the fight goes on.
We axe sorry for Colonel Jones and his as
sociate candidates for the Senate. McLaurin
hardly leaves greasy spot where they stood.

HIS STRONG CARD.
BY It's Use the Drummer Gained 0
Profitable Customer.


"It's hard life, that of the drummer"
said one recently to whom 80 yards OF
hard work had given the right to speak
with authority. Its hard life, but It's
an interesting game and gives a man Q
close hold on facts and realities. The
drummer learns in hard school, but
he does learn, and the lessons pay. What
Is the first lesson he has to learn? How
to manage men; how to approach re-
luctant or an Indifferent or a suspicious
buyer so as to win his confidence and
overcome his indisposition.
"Expcrience teaches this better than
anything else, though some men learn 1t
more easily than others. remember
when I first began to travel as sales
man, when was hardly more than lad
I had an experience that proved valuable
to me. There was an old fellow on my
route who had been known for years a.
the terror of all travelling men. He was
declared to be absolutely the. worst ma
tured, worst hammered fellow they had
ever met anywhere, but I hadn't even
heard of him then. and so entered his
store very confidently and handed him
nv card. He took it without even glanc-
ing at it, tore it into bits and threw the
pieces on the floor. Now, SIR he said to
me, get out of my store There were
two pretty young girls in the store, who
did not understand the proceeding and
who looked at me as walked out as II
I had been an escaped convict: H.
"Well, I smarted for several days over
that affair, during which time made up
my mind that I'd even matters up with
| him If could next time. So before
visited his town again I had card made
expressly for my good friend. 1t looked
exactly like the one used before, only
that it was made of tin. When reach
ed his town, I waited until saw the
store pretty well filled with people, and
then walked in and gave him my card.
He took it just as before, glared at me
and gave the card twist.
But 1t didn't fall on the floor In bits
this time, and he only succeeded In Civ
ing his wrist a wrench and raising tit
ter among his customers. 5 "
II was nearly out Of the door by this
time, for I really didn't think my life
was safe, but he called after me, and I
went back. Come into my Office said
he. I went In, expecting never to come
out. ".- a;'a.'f a. ...E - y Z.

yellow Fever.

The newspapers have been full Of reports
from Havana as to the absence Of yellow
fever In that city. Every known precaution
has been taken to prevent fever, but to the
fact Of the determination OF the musquito is
given the credit. 1t may be that the musqui-
to was responsible for Havana's fever, but
when General Butler took possession Of the
city OF New Orleans during the war, he paid
no sort Of attention to the musquitos. but
cleaned the streets and other places in the
city. The filth and decaying flesh he removed
from the water. The city had always been
sorely afflicted with fever. bnt Butler cleaned
the city so thoroughly that the fever did not
return for twenty years, and since that time
only few cases have occurred.
II General Butler should be made aware OF
the musquito theory, he would rise from his
grave and kick himself for wasting 30 much
energy in cleaning the city, when he could
have accomplished his purpose by merely
killing few musquitos.

PREPARING cAvIARE.
Process BY: Which the Toothsome
Edible IL Made Marketable. i !,

BY far the most valuable byproduct
obtained from the sturgeon is the roe,
from which the; valuable commercial
product called caviare is prepared. For
this only the hard roe Of the Cow" fish
Is supposed to be used. The manner Of
preparation is as follows: EI'.
After the eggs have been removed from
the fish they are placed in large chunks
upon stand, the top of which Is formed
OF small meshed screen. On the under
side is arranged zinc lined trough,
about 1s inches deep, Q feet. wide and a
feet long. The operator gently rubs the
mass Of eggs back and forth over the
screen. The mesh Is just large enough
to let the eggs drop through, and as they
are separated from the membrane BY the
rubbing they fall through into the trough
and are thence drawn off Into tubs BY
means Of q sliding door at the end Of the
trough.
After all the roe has been separated
the tub is removed and q certain proper
ton Of the best Luneberg Germany salt
added to the roe. after which the opera
tor carefully stirs and mixes the mass
with his hands. The most delicate part
of the whole operation is in the manner
of mixing. No direct rule can be given
for doing this portion Of the work, as the
condition of the roe regulates the time
consumed and the manner Of handling.
It requires practical experience to be-
come proficient. -.
After adding the salt the mass Of eggs
first dries up, but in 10 or 15 minutes the
strength of the salt draws from the eggs
their watery constituents and copious
brine is formed, which can be poured on
when the tub becomes too full. The salt
ed eggs are poured into very finely mesh
ed sieyes, which hold about ten pounds
each. In the caviare house are usually
arranged long, sloping boards, with mar
row strips nailed on each side. On these
the sieves are placed and are left there
from 8 to 20 hours In order to thoroughly
drain. ... .a -...
The eggs have now become caviare
Of commerce and are transferred to small
casks Of either oak or pine, which have
been steamed in order to prevent any
possible leakage; the casks are covered
and allowed to stand until the gas es-
capes and the eggs settle. The vacant
space caused by the settling is then filled,
and the cask headed up and put In cool
place until ready for shipment. Ihe
casks cost about 81 each and hold about
1875 pounds net. It requires about IL
quarts of salt to prepare keg Of caViare.
