Not Ruried In q Conn.

Of the many thousands Of bodies of
soldiers who are buried in Arlington
cemetery there is but one, and that an
officer. whose remains were not inclos.
ed in coffin. The late General NJ. c.
Meigs during the civil war and for
many years subsequently was quarter.
master general of the United States
army. Some years before his death he
had erected at Arlington large gran
ite tomb. By his direction the sculptor
cut a place in the center of the big
stone exactly the size Of the formers
body. The sculptor was pledged to
secrecy, nor did the general inform any
one Of the fact.
When General Meigs died, his body
was incased in q handsome caslet and
conveyed to the cemetery. When, how
ever, an attempt was made to put the
casket in the sarcophagus, it was
found to be impossible. and the under
taker had to remove the body from the
casket and put it in the sarcophagus
with no other covering than the gener-
ars uniform.-Washington Post.

Moncks Corner, July April II,

two for the United States senate and
two for the house of representatives
met here on this same historic spot and
did battle, not for the cause of liberty

present that two out Of the eight We're
sadly in need Of the two Offices.
All the candidates were present IN

between himself and Col. Johnstone
was the only incident of the meeting.
Mr.. Evans also prodded Mr.. Lati-
mer, but the scenes that were expected
did not materialize. Waiting for a

The candidates met at Charleston

Corner on the early passenger train

London, July at the earliest

But that severance from the affairs OF
the Empire which he has SO long ad-
ministered is not likely to come until
after the coronation, and it may posi-
bly, be still further delayed by now
unseen reasons Of State or politics.
During the last few months the pre-
nier has more and more detached HIM
self from the cares of Office. With in
creasing age his dislike of publicity
and dread of details which high Office
holding involves have been strengthen
ed into an antipathy SO strong as to
render even the Conservative leaders
less importunate in their demands

recently have been brought into con
tact with the aged statesman privately
comment on his bsent-minoedness,
which is only overcome by great effort
when it is absolutely necessary for
him to deliver a public utterance On a
question Of Importance. Peace in
South Africa having been procured,
Lord Salisbury is said to consider the
crowning of the King as the moment
when his services to the nation may
most ftly be ended.

our Debt TO our Mothers

Ian Maclaren in The Christian En-
deavor World paid the following beau
tiful tribute to mothers:
s"The person to whom you owe more
than you can ever pay or even imagine
is your mother. She endured more for
you. served you more patiently. loved
you more fpndly, thought Of you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth or wilFever know
save your wife or your husband, if in
deed they can always be excepted. If
your mother be spared to you, then are
you bound to make her first charge
on your life. as you desire peaceful
conscience and as you shall answer be-
fore the judgment seat Of God She
must be encompassed with every OBJ
servance Of comfort and honor and
gentieness and love, with sacrifices
also. if so be it will please her, Of
tastes and occupations and time and
even friendship. and after you have
done all that you can think of and any
one can suggest you will still remain a
hopeless bankrupt for the love where
with she loved you"

There is an ancient custom under
which the olive groves around Damas-
Gus are guarded by official watchmen
to prevent the trees being stripped by
thieves. But on a certain date the gov
ernor or some magistrate issues a
proclamation warning all owners of
olive trees that they must pick their
fruit. for after certain date it be-
comes public property. If farmer has
his crop only half gathered when that
date arrives. the public will gather II

The CAMPAIGN SYSTEM.
Humbuggery of Having sixty-Two
Men Tramp all Over the State.

Mr.. Frank P. Cooper, who is report
ing Campaign Party No 1, sent in this
very suggestive paragraph in one of his
excellent reports Of the Senatorial
campaign.
Some time ago the suggestion was
made that the people, the candidates
and everyone else would be perfectly
satisfied with seven or ten campaign
meetings, at which the candidates
could all express their views and the
average voter would know as much
about the candidates by these meetings
as by the forty or fifty meetings that
will be held this summer.
In Georgia the candidates are ex-
pected to arrange their own campaign
meetings and this plan will have to be
adopted in South Carolina unless the
whole primary system is to go to the
dogs, unless the Congressional district
plan is adopted as suggested.
A great many people have not taken
the time to sit down and think about
the seriousness of the campaign sys-
tenn and the horrible humbuggery that
is being imposed upon the voters as
result of the system. There is no
reason in the world why just as good
officers could not be secured by county
primaries, at which the counties
would name delegates to State Con-
vention, and these county candidates
to the State Convention express their
preference and be elected upon certain
issues or candidates il need be-. This
could be done after the candidates
have all expressed their views upon
the pending issues, if there are any.
There are very many people who
have talked about the primary being
the salvation of the poor man in poll
tics. 1t is something of a strain to see
how this is Sc when the present cam
paign is going to cost the candidates
at least $40, 600. That seems to be a
lot of money, but the candidates seem
to be anxious to spend the money if
they can only get the Offices.
There are sixty two candidates IN
the field for State and Federal offices
and, placing the average expenses at
5000 per candidate, this would run the
amount up to $4,000, and the assess
ments ard other necessary expenses
would easily run the cost per candl-
date up to $500. =
Some folks may think that $500 is a
high average. It is no such thing.
It is low. There are already many
candidates who have spent double that
amount and the campaign is hardly
half over. They have been liberal in
, the use of printers ink. There have
been thousands of circular letters sent
out and tens of thousands of so-called
personal letters announcing candidacy.
There is no such thing as a discount
on postage bills and the railroads have
gotten full rates from all of the candi-
dates, as they had every right to do.
There may be a few precious
few-candidates who can get through
on $500, but these candidates are liza
bic to be left at home. 1t is estimated
that from tenth to one-twentieth
of the voters hear the candidates, and
it is, for these that the Office seekers
have to spend $40, ,o0o and then the
question is. are better men selected
than are chosen in any OF the other
State, for instance, without the
primary humbug?

Truth.

The cornerstone of character, that On
which the whole edifce is to rest, must
be truth. Be truthful in word and deed
and act, faithful to your conception of
right. and you can no more help build
ing noble character than the earth
can help moving in its orbit. A boy
who has the courage to tell the truth
under all circumstances. even when it
may appear to be to his own disad-
vantage. will never do mean. unman-

stoop to do anything questionable. no
matter what material gain it may
promise.-Success.
