a Mysterious Affair.

Columbia State, 10th inst.
Last evening Mr.. J. D. Smithdeal
narrowly escaped death or injury in
most peculiar manner. As be was
passing the Kendall building he
heard queer noise and found upon
Investigation that bullet had passed
through plate glass window at a
point but a few inches above Mr..
Smithdears head. No one heard the
report of irearm, and the bullets
source is quite mystery. It will be
remembered that in the fall a similar
case ended tragically in Richmond.
The superintendent of locomotive
shops fell dead while talking to
friends. Blood was found on his
clothes. His friends were horrifed.
He had been killed by a bullet from
some unknown hand, fred carelessly
perhaps.

a Burst Of Generosity.

A man from Dunedin once visited
(the town of wellington. An Irish
friend insisted upon the visitor stay
ing at his house instead of at hotel,
and kept him there for a month,
playing the host in detail, even to
treating him to the theatres and
other amusements, paying all the
cab fares and the rest. When tho
visitor was returning to Dunedin,
the Irishman saw him down to the
steamer and they went into the
saloon to have parting drink.
"Whst'll you have?" asked the
host, continuing bis hospitality to
the very last.
Now, look here" said the man
from Dunedin. "I'll hae nae mair O
this. Here ye've been keepin' me at
yer house for a month an payin' for
g. the theatres an cabs an drinks-eI
tell We I'll stan nae mair O it! Well
Just hae a toss for this one!"

Justice for the Editor.

State Tribune. Jefferson City, No.
mo man in the community does
more for the public and receives less
for it than the country editor said
Senator Clay Heather, OF Palmyra,
Marion county, in The Missouri State
Senate when the bill reducing the
price of publishing the Australian
ballot was under consideration. "If
all the space he employs in booming
tie town, in helping individuals, in
making Observation-Disclosures out Of
pretty raw msterial-7ere paid for
even at half tie legal rate, he would
be the richest man in the county.
'Few country editors are rich, but
they are Of more service to the COM
munities where they live than the
wealth;est man. They are in the
forefront of every movement for pro.
gress. They do the work and leave
the emoluments to others. A good,
clean, honest newspaper-and most
country newspapers are good and
clean and honest helps on every
worthy cause and deserves every en-
couragement. Il fights the party
battles, holds up the hands of the
reformer and makes the scoundrel
afraid. I am opposed to this bill.
No paper in my county would print
the ballot at the pitiful price named.
They are not paupers. But for the
amount of the splendid public service
they render they ought to be million
aires"

LEGAL Tender Silver Dollars.

Washington, January 9,-The first
financial measure of Importance to
be reported to the House is that
agreed upon today by the committee
on coinage, weights and measures.
providing for the increase OF the sub
sidery Of silver coinage. The meas
ure was introduced by Representa-
tive Hill, of Connecticut.
At the meeting of the committee
Mr.. Hill urged immediate action N
order that the bill might be brought
before the House at an early day.
This was opposed by the Democratic
members who were against the bill
on it's merits and in particular pro-
tested against what they alleged to be
undue haste. The committee then
ordered the bill reported, the vote
being on party lines. The bill au-
thorizes the coinage of subsidiary
silver coin without regard to limit
and as public necessity may require.
The most important feature OF the
bill, for the parity Of gold and silver
dollars, is as follows:
The Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby directed to maintain at all
times at parity with gold the legal
tender silver dollars remaining out
standing; and that to this end he is
hereby directed to exchange gold for
legal tender silver dollars or any
multiple thereof; and all provisions
of law foc the maintenance of the
reserve fund in the treasury relating
to United States notes are, in the dis
cretion of the Secretary of the Treas
u:y hereby made applicable to the
exchange Of legal tender silver dol
lars"

Hints to Farmers.

There is no use to remind farmers
that they are going to have pretty
hard times for the next seven months.
But many of them will pull through
all right. Z few suggestions may be
helpful.
Start the plows the first day the
clay is dry enough to be broken.
Sometimes the top soil is dry and
the clay as sticky as dough. Never
plow land in that condition.
Sow some good lots in oats unless
yeu have fall oats enough to feed
stock. It is better to sow good land
in oats, for then you will be sure Of
s crop. You can plant corn and
peas Immediately after the oats are
cut and make fair crop. The pea
vines left on the land will help it
very mucR.
In these winter days get your tools
all ready. Have plenty of plows
and an extra plow gears. Provide
yourself with these extras so that
when something breaks no time will
be lost in going to the shop or hard
ware store.
Look after your terraces the first
thing so that you can run your rows
by them. The sooner you bed your
land for corn and cotton the better.
If you have time to re-bed, it will
pay you for the labor.
We saw farmer a few days ago
who had most of his seed corn
selected and put aside. He had
peas enough to SOW every acre OF
stubble land to plant every foot OF

What Is Man?
SpartanbUrg Journal.

Spartanburg Journal.
Man is two legged animal that
chews tobacco and walks on the fork
Cd end.
Most men were born. We never
heard of but one who wasn't and he
was made of mud-iust for a sample.
Man is found in most parts Of the
world. He roams at will, feeds in
the day time and sleeps at night
some nights.
He is very tame. You can 60 and
put your hands on him anywhere so
you don't put it on his pocketbook,
be has been known to kick under
such conditions.
Mans life is full Of dissppoint-
menta, patent medicines and cob
pipes.
He goeth forth as 8 lion in the
morning and leaves all the wood for
his wife to chop.
In the evening he sneaks home
with his pants ripped and raises cain
about "hard times"
Man is like dog-howls 8 great
deal and runs about at night.
Like an elephat, he has trunk
bat he don't always take it with him
the elephant does.
Men are ike nails in one respec';
in nine cases cut of ten where either
of them are crooked, they have been
driven to it by woman.
Men are like chickens-they always
want to get on the highest roost.
No man will not swear before lady
he always let her swear first.
Little things sometimes worry q
man most-twins for instance.
Man may enjoy taking his sweet
heart upon his knee, but after mar
riage he doesn't like o.be ''sat upon"
Man fourishes like a ragweed to-
day and tomorrow the undertaken has
him salted away in an ice box.
Now as to what man is really good
for, anthropology is still in the dark.
Being strong he is used to draw pic
tures, carry news and pull the revol-
yer. Properly trained man can jump
higher than any other animal. He
has even been known to jump mount
ain resort board bills.
Although in many ways man is like
other animals, in this respect he diff
fers from all; he lives while standing
mp.

II the tormenting cold that made
last winter one long misery will be
as bad this year. Certainly not, if
you take Aliens Lung Balsam when
tickling and rawness in the throat

wear itself out. Take the right
remedy in time. Aliens Lung Bal
