Alfred Henry Lewis pays his re-
| spects as follows:
Mark Twain came into the game
well heeled. He played steady, some
| times hitting it right and occasionally
! losing. But in the main his game was
a scientific one, and he seldom quit
, broke.
+ He didn't rely on no system to speak
| Of but scattered his chips recklessly.
! Now and then he'd get little warmed
ND. and the dealer ID have to touch
him on the arm, but he never made no
great rough house, and even when he
rode through the camp shooting wild
and yelling scandalous for trouble the
boys d generally just walk into the
bar and smile, saying, "Mark s loaded
again"
1t was such lively traits as these that
made his stay in the camp interesting,
and as we think of him we can all say
that he made the old world brighter.
They say he came from Missouri.
None of us ever inquired into that. He
might have been preacher fallen from
grace or a bank cashier come for his
health when he arrived. He had the
leading traits of all, but he was in the
long run square.
Marks greatest trouble was his oc-
casional failure to tell you when ne was
joking It's all right, Of course, and
plenty interesting for a man to walk
up behind another and shoot through
his hat for a joke, but sometimes the
other man, being not possessed of a
keen sense of humor, is liable to feel
hurt and shoot back.
Now that he has gone we feel per
sonal loss. We never liked lying in it
self. But he had such knack Of TAX
ing a spawned, ringboned lie in and
dosing it and fixing it up with a new
saddle and a bright blanket and palm
ing it off as a two-year-old gospel truth!
Our loss is another locality's gain, for
when Mark meets that ancient person
age, George Washington, on the other
side of the peak, it is moral certainty
that the latter will absorb such knowl-
edge on the subject of mendacity as an
art that he will be able to give old
Ananias cards and spades and beat him
out for the casino championship.
Mark Twain was an esteemed citi-
zen. We are sorry he has gone, for
| there won't be any more like him for
| quite awhile They do say, however
but let us speak we'll of the helpless
He wouldn't have done anything mean
to a person who couldn't get back al
! him.

An Amusing d

A funny little incident, not down
on the program occurred at the Mary.
land Industrial Exposition grounds,
Baltimore, recently, which created
the widest merriment among the
employees and show people. A half
dozen big monkeys of the Blake dog
and pony circus were let out 10
charge of an attendant for a little
exercise. They CHANGED to pass the
entrance of the Crystal Maze, and
apparently seeing. q oozen or more
of their kind reflected through the
doorway, in its myriads of mirrors,
made q break for and rushed inside,
the attendants in hot pursuit, then
the fun began. On every side they
apparently saw hundreds of grinning
simians of their own kind, and the
way they chartered and yelled, amid
the widest antics, threw the entire
population of the midway in parox-
ysms of merriment. They tried to
climb the mirrors, butted their heads
against the glass, climbed over and
over one another, and behaved gene
rally like star inmates of an Insane
Asylum. To add to the confusion
their attendants went in after them
and got lost in the mystic windings
of the maze, and monkeys and men
were alike in a grand mixup. Moth
ing half so funny had ever occurred
on the midway before, and the Incl
dent rudely shattered the Sabbath
quiet that was prevailing. Finally
with great difficulty, the monkeys
were rounded up and taken n by
one to their respective cages. All
the afternoon. they continued to
chatter to one another, evidently dis
cussing in monkey language their
curious experience in the Crystal
Maze.

It was admitted that the woman
was truly a remarkable one. She
succeeded in living far better than
would seem to- be possible on her
husbands income.
"But how does she do itf" asked
the ignorance one.
"she's such a good manager" an
swered the knowing one.
"Knows how to make a little 60 a
long way, I suppose"
"Well, not exactly that, but she
knows how to make him provide
properly for the family. You see'
she spends the money he gives her
for Injuries, so he just has to pro:
vide the necessities in addition.
There's always something needed,
and she's always broke, 30 that forces
him to scrape up some more cash.
In that way they manage to live
really we'll. Oh, she's a wonderful
manager! Not one in q thousand
could do as we'll on his income as she
has done"
"And the result"
"Oh, l believe something has been
said about his beng forced into
bankruptcy next week, but she has
managed splendidly, don't you

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Governor Mcsweeney in Accordance With
The President's Action, Sets Apart a Day
OF General Thanksgiving

Governor insolvency has issued
the following as his Thanksgiving
proclamation:
It is az old and honored custom
by which the Chief Magistrate of the
State sets apart one day as a day OF
thanksgiving and praise to the Source
of sll Life for His manifold bless
ings and fostering care. When IN
the enjoyment of health and happl-
ness and prosperity we are prone to
forget the sustaining hand through
which these blessings come.
AS a people we have had u trials
and ~hardships, our days of adversely
and of bitter strife, and through
them all We have triumphed because
of our trust in and reliance on an
All-wise Providence.
During the past year we have en-
ioyed peace and prosperity. The
labor of the husbandman has been
rewarded by abundant harvests and
all business has prospered. We
have been spared pestilence and
plague, drought and food. In this
day of prosperity we should not for
get the source whence it comes. We
should, as q people render thanks to
God for the blessings which we en-
joy and in the midst of material
prosperity strive for moral and spiri-
tusl uplifting; for it is not in ma
terisl progress and prosperity that a
people can claim to be truly great,
or hope to obtain lasting happiness
The greatness of a people rests in
the character of the individual citi-
zen, and this character is built upon
deeds done-deeds which glorlfy
God and help lift up and bless our
fellow men. In no way can we bet
ter show our appreciation of the
kindness and the forbearance of our
Heavenly Father than by doing our
duty to Him, to ourselves and to
our fellow man.
Now, therefore, I, M. B Nc
Sweeney, Governor of the State of
South Caroline, in conformity to the
proclamation of the President of the
United States, do set apart Thurs
day, the 9th day Of the present
month, as q day of general hanks-
giving, and do recommend that all
prblic Offices be closed, and that the
people cease from their ordinary Vo-
cations, and in their homes and sew.
eral places of worship render thanks
to God for the blessings which they
have enjoyed during the past year,
and that on this occasion they re-
member the poor and sorrowiug by
Their gifts and their prayers OF sym
patty.
In witness whereof. l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Greal Seal of the State to be affixed.
Done st the city of Columbia this,
5th day of November, in the year OF
our Lord one thousand, nine hun
dred and two, ard of the IndePend-
ence of the United States of America

MORE TO FOLLOW.

There are other valid claims
against Uncle Sam, which would run
ND his debt to this State to nearly
two million dollars If interest should
be allowed to the present time, and
it is hoped that Senator Tillmsn and
the Representatives will continue
their efforts for the settlement of
these claims in full.

BEN TILLMAN'S GOOD WORK,
LARGE SUMS TO BE RECOVERED
FROM FEDERAL IGOvEBNMENT.
Chief Clerk Can't Claims that az q Result
OF Senator Tilmsn's Efforts South Caro-
lima VIII Receive Bstween $4,000

Of the Valid Debt Of the State
will be Wiped Out.

columbia Cor. News and Courier.
Chief Clerk CAN'T has made the
following clear explanation of the
situation as to the claim of the State
against the national government,
about which some correspondence has
already been had:
The successful result of Senator
Tillmsn's first effort towards the
collection of the old claims of South
Carolina against the United States
is very gratifying to State officers
The promise of an early settlement
Of at least q portion Of these claims
is due to Senator Tillman, who has
been hard at work upon them several
years, and who would have sue
ceeded in his effort without the
"Blsck" papers, as those documents
gave but little light upon the claim,
which has been allowed. It is 9
claim for unpaid interest upon. funds
advanced by South Carolina in 1872,
and consequently no vouchers other
than the records of the war depart
ment are necessary to sustain our
tention. 1t is simply q question Of
computing interest. The Act which
Senator Tillmsn succeeded in having
passed declares that these old pay.
ments shall first be applied to the
settlement of ten or fifteen years
interest, which had accrued at that
time, while any amount remaining
unpaid at that time shall be deemed
a new principal, upon which interest
must now be paid.
WHAT THE STATE WILL GET.
It is impossible to determine what
this will amount to without access to
the date of these payments and the
original accounts. Senator Tillmsn's
computation fixed the amount at
about 100000, which should give
South Carolina between $4,000 and
$75,OO0, after settling IN fun the
South Carolina bonds held by the
Indian trust fund Of the federal gov,
ernment. These bonds aggregate
$125,W0 at their full value, and an
der the bond redemption laws of
South Carolina were refundsble at
80 cents on the dollar into She new
AZ per cents. The United States
refused this settlement and de
manded full face value, repeatedly
christening suits upon them. Thus
after paying full face value and
accrued interest, there is a promise
not only Of wiping out over $780,
600 of the valid debt of the State.
but of securing quite a nice sum to
the State treasury besides. J.
No commission will be paid to any
one in settlement Of the claim, and
the State will get every dollar Sc
cured. Senator Tillman made this
q condition of his work for the meas
ure and the results vindicste his
