Political Campaign Is On.

An exchange says that "the politi-
cal campaign will open in a few weeks
now and there will be no peace in the
land until the winds of September is

Columbia Afternoon Record.
When Tillmsn made his break in
the senate this week, Democrats re-
tired to the cloak rooms to cuss and
Republicans remained to laugh. It
did the South no good and may do
harm. It put him in an attitude of
ridiculous inconsistency to brag about
doing at home what he is cussing the
Republicans about having done in
the Philippines.

his own county paper. Such people

a we'll known student of nature
once tried the growing force of a
squash. When It was Is days old
and measured 27 inches in circumfer-
ence he fixed short harness around
it, with a long leve attached. The
power of the squash was measured
by the weight it lifted; the weight
being fixed to Lever. When it was
20 days old, two days after the har-
ness was fixed on it, it lifted 60
poun ds. On the nineteeth day it
lifted 5000 pounds.
