NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In "A Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.

4 DISTINGUISHED officer Of the United
States navy once told this story Oh him
self:
At the time Of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had had
many narrowing experiences aboard
ship. through I'LL of which lie kept cour-
ace and remained rs calm as 4 brave
man should. As the time for the ccre-
monv came on however. his callnncsS
gradually gave way. At the altar. AMID

lace markin" the full naval wedding.
the officer was all but Stampeded and
what went On,thcrc seemed very much
mixed to him. Fearing the excitement
of the moment would temporarily take
him off his feet. the officer had learned
the marriage ceremony letter perfect,
as he thought. and he remembered re-
heating the words after the minister IN
a mechanical sort Of way.
After tlie ceremony was over ana all
was serene again. including the offl'
GERS state of mind. the kindly clergy
on the shoulder.

didn't cnlow your wife with any
worldly goods"
"What'S that:' asked the bridegroom.
with something OF aStoniShTent in his
voice.
"Why. repeated the sentence with
all my worldly goods thee endoW sew
elal times and despite my efforts YOU
would moi say it after ME"
The bridegroom seemed pcrturDcd 1or
a moment. and then Il bcamlnS liSht
came into his face.

a Blow to Beaufort.

Beaufort, March 21-The Coosaw
Phosphate works suspended opera
tions indefinitely last night by order
of Superintendent D. H. Lopez,
who acted under instructions from
the company's board of directors
which met in annual session in Charles
ton yesterday. Little credence is
given to the rumor that the company
will soon be bought and operated by
the Virginia Carolina Chemical COM
pany. One hundred and forty-three
men, all of whom have families, will
be thrown out of work by the unez-
pected shut down.

First Move On Political Board.
Columbia State, %.

Columbia State, %.
From April 3 on through Septem-
Der there will be much politics in
South Carolina. State and county
officers, United States senator and
full set of congressman are to be
chosen by the people. Thus far this
campaign year has been very quiet
one though many have been infor-
mally announcing their candidacy for
different Offices.
It was not until yesterday, how
ever, that the first official move was
made on the political checkerboard
looking to the campaign of 1902. It
came in the shape of a call issued by
Chairman Willie Jones of the State
Democratic executive committee for
a meeting of that committee to be
held here in the Office of the secre-
tary of state on the evening of April
3. This meeting is simply for the
purpose of issuing the formal call for
the State convention to be held on
May 21 and the call for the various
precinct meetings and county con7en-
tions to be held earlier. The COM
mittee will have nothing else to do
sofar as known. It will have nothing
whatever to do with the matter of
arranging the State campaign this
year, that duty falling upon the new
committee to be elected by the State
convention.
It is not unlikely, however, that the
precinct clubs and the county cor
yenticos will express themselves on
the matter of. reducing the number
of campaign gatherings so that the
State convention can consider the
matter in the light of what the people
wish. In several counties articles
have been published advocating the
reduction of the number of meetings.
Secretary Gunter Of the State COM
mittee expects to get up a circular
letter to be sent to the county chair
men shortly giving the dates of the
different meetings preliminary to the
State convention and full information
as to the number of delegates allowed,
etc.
But the call yesterday is the first
official political move of the campaign
year and now that the ball has been
opened the formal announcement of
many candidates for various positions
may be expected. Already in all
parts of the State great deal of pol
itical talk is being INDUCED in.

Hong Kong, March 21.-Serious
alarm is caused here by the report
that twenty thousand imperial troops
under General Su have deserted to
to the rebels. Su's men were equip

in modern methods. The revolt is
similar to the Tai Ping rebellion it
is feared. It is believed that con-

The efforts Of the postoffice depart
ment to correct the abuse of the Sec
ond class mail privilege is heartily en-.
dorsed by the newspaper publishers of
Ohio. Flagrant impositions have been
practiced upon the government by
schemers who have thrived upon the
practically free use of the mails to send
out matter that should pay the regular
rates of postage. These sharks have
been infringing upon the revenue
of legitimate newspapers by soliciting
advertising for their publications.
Whenever newspaper publisher uses
the columns of his paper to attack the
department for its proper efforts in
this direction 1t can be depended upon,
either that Interior motives prompt
the criticism, or that it is the result
of ignorance.
