We regret to see that there is con-
siderable indifference in several counties
in the State as to making an exhibit at
the Charleston Exposition. This should
not be. 1t is true this paper opposed an
appropriation by the State in aid of the
scheme, but it was made Now, the Ex-
position is going to be held, and we all
owe it to our State to make it as great a
success as possible. Each county in the
State should make an exhibit and do its
part toward making the Exposition a
complete success. Don't hold back now
and thereby to some extent make the
Exposition incomplete. We hope that
all over the State work will be begun at
once on county exhibits.

To Govern the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-According to
the latest advices from the Philippine
commission, the time for the establish
ment of civil government in the Philip
pines is near at hand. 1t is stated at the
war department that the civil govern
ment will be established as soon as Judge
Taft reports the conditions in the islands
justify such action. 1t is generally un-
derstood that Judge Taft will be the first
civil governor of the islands, and that
Gen. Chaffee will succeed Gen. Macarthur
in command of the military forces to be
retained there to assist in the mainten-
ance of order and enforcement of the
laws. 1t is not likely, however, that
there will be any immediate change in
the military command, o: that there will
be any material reduction in the military
strength for many months to come.
The Philippine commission has recon-
mended the adoption of a tariff system,
and its report probably will be made
public in few weeks in order that all
interests affected may be fully informed
.and heard on the subject before the
proposed tariff is adopted and put into
effect

Changes in the SeabOard.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-A report was
current in financial circles to-day that
announcement would shortly be made of
important changes among officials of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway company.
According to the story, Gen. Supt. McBee
who, since the resignation of Eice-PreSi-
dent and General Manager St. John, has
been acting general manager of the sys-
TEN, will be confirmed in the higher
position and that Major Frank Huger,
formerly superintendent of the Knox
vile division of the Southern Railway
company, will become general superln-
tendent. 1t was also reported that the
duties of rice-president and general
manager heretofore discharged by Mr.
St. John, would be divided, and that one
of the best known traffic and operating
officials in the country would become
yice-president. The reports could not
be confirmed in Baltimore.
The meeting of the directors of the
Seaboard, which was scheduled to take

TO NEWSPAPER MEN.

= A few weeks ago this newspaper made
an advertising contract with a travelling
salesman named Johnson, representing
the japanese Pile Cure Co., of Philadel-
phia. While here he placed the remedies
on sale with the Bamberg Pharmacy. 1t
is our policy to always get financial re-
ports on advertisers unknown to US, and,
notwithstanding the fact that this COM
pany was advertising extensively in
some of the best newspapers in this State,
We Immediately had the mercantile
agencies make report on their financial
standing This was not satisfactory to
US, so we declined to run the advertising
unless they paid quarterly in advance or
gave an order on the local druggist.
This they declined to do, SO we have
discontinued the advertising. We no.
tice that several papers in the State are
carrying the ads, and We think it ex
tremely doubtful if they get any pay for
it. If q concern intended to pay, it
seems that they would not object to Civ
ing an order on the local druggist to
whom they have sold goods. If any of
our brother editors collect for their work
we would be glad to know it. At any
rate we think it would pay them to in
restigate the firm fully before doing the
work. We newspaper men are beat out
of our hard-earned money often enough
as it is, and our purpose in writing this
is for mutual protection.
We respectfully refer our brothers to
the commercial agencies for further in
formation

Kali and Kipling Medley.

Mr.. Barrie was one day at Waterloo
station in hurry to catch train. he
was Fastening from the bookstali
laden with papers, "a good many six
penny ones among them." he dolefully
relates, when, in rushing around q
corner, he fell into the arms OF Rud'
yard Kipling, equally in a tearing hur'
ry. They turned on each other with
scowling faces, then smiled in recogni-
ton and asked each other whittier ne
went. Then Kipling, exclaiming,
"Lucky beggar, you've got papers!'
seized the bundle, from Barrie, flung
him some money and made off. "But
you did not stoop to pick up his dirty
halfpence, did you?' queried one OF
Mr.. Barrie's hearers amusedly. Didn't
I, thought" returned Barrie, and added
ruefulIy. "But he hadn't flung me half
enough."-St. James Gazette.

His First Case Introduced Him to

Some of the members Of the bar were
discussing contempt cases because OF
a recent notable event in the state, and

sonal experience.

aminations through a little country
LAWYER who knew a great deal, but
never had big case and was notorious
for his ability in abusing justices OF
the peace. 1t may seem prepostef-
Gus statement, but l had never heard
or thought of such thing as contempt
of court when l had my first profes-
sional experience in common pleas
court. No sooner had the opposition
attorney made an objection than the
judge ruled against me.
81 proceeded to inform him that ne
was wrong, that he knew he was
wrong and that wished he would quit
his pettifogging. The lawyers in at
tendance were temporarily petrified
the venerable judge glared ut ME over
his glasses, finally smiled in forgiv-
ing sort Of way and told me to pro-
ceed. Very soon there was another
we'll taken objection, and again lie
ruled against me. This practically took
the props from under my case, and l
went at the judge rs my instructor hao

the peace in a back township.

litical accident. In the eternal fitness

no more sense Of justice than a Zulu

a higher judicial tribunal In this state

fine Of 5000 or 80 days in jail. The

NATURES LESSON.

IA there 4 cloud in the azure sky
That forgets the mission it hath on hight
Not one.
Is there star in the curtain OF night
That forgets to shine with a radiance brishtH
Not one.
Is there bud in field or bower
That forgets to blossom into flower?
Not one.
The clouds, the stars and flowers bright
in beautiful language speak forth God's might'
While We frail creatures OF the DUST
Forget, alas, to be even just.
We stand empty handed, while all around
There are lives to brighten, now sorrow bound.
There are deeds which our hands should gladly O.
That would cheer some heart its journey through
A kind word here, good deed there,
Would scatter sweet blessings everywhere

An Answer.
(Bv Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox).
If all the year was summer time,
And all the aim of life,
Was just to live on like a rhyme
Then | would be your wife
If all the days were August days
And crowned with golden weather
How happy then thro' green clad ways
We two should stray together.
If all the nights were moon lit nights
And we had naught to do.
But just to sit and plan delights
Then | would wed with you.
If life was all summer fete
It's soberest pace, "the glide
Then l would choose you for my mate
And keep you at my side.
But winter makes full half the year
And labor half of life
And all the laughter and good cheer
Give place to wearing strife.
Days will grow cold and moons wax oil
And then heart that's true,
Is better far than grace or gold
And so my love Adieu
cannot wed with YOU.

good streets and sidewalks. Our property
tax is only six mills, as low as any town we
know of, and yet the annual income of
the town from all sources is something
like five thousand, dollars The city re-
ceiyed about $4,000 from dispensary pro-
6ts last year, and then there is also the
property and commutation tax, as we'll
as fines, etc. We have no license system,
which is mistake. There are certain
kinds of businesses which should pay a

levy it.
