The Democratic party in South Caro-
lima is wonderful organization just now.
In fact, one can find in this State almost
any kind of Democracy extant. We have
Tillman Democrats and anti-Tillman
Democrats, Bryan Democrats and anti
Bryan Democrats, dispensary Democrats
and anti-dispensary Democrats, Imperial
ism. Democrats and anti-imperialism
Democrats, child labor Democrats and
anti child labor Democrats, Commercial
Democrats, Mckinley Democrats, and so
on almost without number. The dispen-
sary law has been put in the State plat
form and yet there are men who are can
didates in the Democratic primary op-
posed to this plank. The recent State
convention declared against child labor
in the mills and yet here are legislative
candidates in several counties who hold
views exactly opposite. And amidst all
this tangle and confusion there is no
statesman, not even "our noble leader
who can get things straight and tell US
where we are at. And nationally, affairs
are in ABOUT as bad or worse shape. But
down in this section we are, as Bill Arp
would say, scalm and SERENE" and content
to let things rock along easily. Even
with the drought we expect to make eight
to ten bales to the plow and enough corn
to do US, and, with the help of gracious
Providence, We expect to pull through.

Death Of Mrs. James F. IZlar.

ORANGEBURG, August 2.-The death of
Mrs. Francis Izlar, the wife of Gen. James
Izlar, occurred last night at Milledgeville,
Ca, where she had been taken several
days ago for a change and for medical
treatment. Mrs. Izlar's health has not
been good for some time, but it has been
only very recently that it was realized
that her condition was serious. The many
friends of Judge Izlar and family sympa-
thize with him deeply in this bereave-
ment. 1t is expected that the remains
will be brought to Orangeburg this after
noon and the funeral services will be
held tomorrow morning at II o'clock.
Mrs. Izlar was Miss Lowell and leaves
eight children, as follows: Mrs. B. P. Oil
veros and Mrs. S. A. Oliyeros, of Savan-
nah, Ca; Mrs. Geo. S. Legare, of Charles
ton ; Mrs. L. H. Wannamaker, Jr., of this
city; DR.. R. P. Izlar, of Waycross, Ga; Mr..
S. o. Izlar, of Columbia, and Mr.. William
L. Izlar, of Orangeburg.

Senator Tillman has written letter to
Mr.. T. R. Waring, editor of the Charles
ton Evening Post, in which he says that
though opposed to the candidacy of Mr..
GeorgeF VonK olnitz for the State Senate
in Democratic primary, there is no way
by which he can be kept out under the
rules of the party. 1t seems to be well
known that Mr.. VonKolnitz was possess
ed of decided Republican tendencies few
years ago, and We must submit that ne IS
hardly the proper or fitting representative
of the Democracy of Charleston. How
ever, it appears that he will be nominated
without opposition, although Senator
Tillman declares if this happens he will
not interest himself further in Charles
toms behalf.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes Of temperature should be
avoided.
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when a grove is
we'll shaded.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur
nishes a few large and fine specimens
of fruit.
There is no use In growing a tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break if fruit Is pro-
duced on them.
All members of the poppy family are
hard to transplant. BY choosing q
rainy day and not exposing the roots
one can sometimes manage trans
ference.
Avoid straight lines as much as posi-
BILE. There Is no straight line In nature.
It Is for this reason that groups and
masses are so much better than formal
or set beds.

The Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are Still Working.
If the organs of the body cannot be
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwalking, the positions In stage

and cavalrymen who do it today, in
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk

fixed position while they sleep. For

People who talk In their sleep are IA.
miliar to all of US. Experiments made
by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes showed
that Al per cent Of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked In their
sleep. A number Of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep takers one-half Of the women
and one-third Of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tions on any subject, not alone that OF
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years Of age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs Of the body all working, 1t
Is the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all Of the brain. The senses
of sight, hearing, touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the experimenter tickles 1t.

Making Expenses.

When Edward Payson Hammond, the
great revivalist, passed through Illinois
in the late sixties he did not neglect Gales
burg, he felt that Galesburg generally
needed him, and that Ox-Horn Marshall
needed him in particular.
Acrown of glory awaited any revivalist
who could win to the heavenly way John
Marshall, the Galesburg tailor, whose
store sign was pair of huge, wide-curVed
horns, arching above his door. No one,
in Galesburg who knew of Marshall and
his record put any faith in the old saw
that it takes nine tailors to make man.
1t was generally conceded that Ox-Horns
Marshall, when he was properly loaded
and carefully aimed in the direction of
serious trouble, could attend to any nine
men of the vicinity, near or remote. The
ox-horns, which were his crudely i'm
provised heraldic device, were acknowl-
edged to be no more than justly typical
of his strength and of his proves in such
chickering's as the Illinois of that clamor-
Gus day provided.
With Hammond, religi came to Gales
burg. And, as it came to Galesburg with
its wrath and its repentance, it came to
Ox-Horns Marshall.
He reformed.
Gales0urg, dazed at first, at last accepted
the wonder of his reformation; but it
fastened its evening meal in order to go
to church and gaze with awe upon this
child of evil from whom the blackness
had been washed out. The glory of his
amendment spread in undiminished radi-
ance from town to town, and travelling
salesmen--roystering friends of his in
the unregenerate days-attended the re-
vival meetings in order to see Ox-HOrns
Marshall bow that terrifying front OF his
in earnest, humble prayer.
There were four of them in the rear of
the sacred edifice, one night, when the
reformed Que felt the time had come for
him to play Christians active part He
walked forward, seized the plate, and
began to take up the collection. He did
not see his friends of sin until he came
directly to their pew: he was suffering
from the stage fright which seiZes every
man to whom that solemn plate is first
introduced with all its stern responsible
ties. Their presence took him by surprise.
But his courage rose with the emergency.
Chip in. boys" he whispered hoarsely.

A curious collection Of books Is con-
tanned In the library Of Warstentein,
near Cassel, in Germany. The books
appear at first sight to be logs Of wood,
but each volume is really complete
history Of the tree it represents. The
back shows the bark, in which small
place is cut to write the scientific and
common name, as a title. One side
shows the tree trunk in its natural
state, and the other is polished and
vanished. Inside are shown the leaves,
fruit, fiber and insect parasites, to
which is added full description Of the
tree and its products.

FACT AND RUMOR.
The Story Of One Postponed Cabinet
Council In England.

Council In England.
Cabinet councils give rise at times
to rumors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One Of Lord Beac-
onstield's supplies a case In point.
Queen Victoria, so runs the tale, was
anxious about the state of wind and
wave in the mid-Atlantic. which the
Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. A lord in waiting knew q
professor who was a weather diviner,
and to him he went with q message
from her majesty, who sent also mes
sage to Lord Beaconsfeld. The lord
In waiting was sent to a theatrical
supper-it was Sunday night-in search
Of the professor. Him he found In
this lively company and was himself
constrained to listen to the game of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose If they had to mar
ry, Gladstone or Disraeli? All said
"Disraeli'' except one, and she said
"Gladstone, so that might elope with
Disraeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding Disraeli In
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance Of his great popularity
with all classes Of the queens sub
jects. The whimsicality Of the thing
was congenial to Disraeh, who was
kept waiting next day at cabinet
council for the arrival Of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story Of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns (absit
omen), hearing, did not smile, and his
solemnity put out Of countenance the
prime minister, who at once made the
nonarrival Of the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for couple
Of hours. The balance Of power
was then unstable, and that afternoon
the papers had headings: War Immi-
nent. A Second Cabinet Council Sum

stage made history and staggered the

We are certainly very much mistaken
in the people of South Carolina If the ex'
posing of the shortcomings or moral
delinquencies of any man, no matter by
whom, will raise him in their esteem. II
is an insult to the intelligence of the
voter to say in effect: Don't lay bare the
bad moral character of this man, for that
will make votes for him. The trouble is,
the newspapers of this State have been
too lenient in many instances regarding
the private lives and moral characters OF
many men offering for public positions
of trust and honor, and the State and its
people have suffered thereby.

his final remark on the death Of Talley'

did not your majesty himself notice
yesterday that he was dying?" T did
