For Railroad Commissioner.

fairfield News and Herald, May II
Editor News and Herald. The
Office of Railroad Commissioner is
one Of great responsibility and it is
highly important that it be filled
with the right man. A Railroad
commissioner should be possessed
with broad and liberal mind, trained
in business grooves, whetted and
sbarpened by friction with every day
business transactions. He should be
q man of sufficient moral courage to
enforce his views in the interest of
public safety as we'll as public vel
fare, and at the same time not lg-
more the just interests of railroad cor
porations. He should have had a
measure of success in the conduct OF
his own business before entering on
the heavy duties connected with this
Office. A man who meets all these re-
ouirements is Hon, John &. Wolllng,
whose candidacy for Railroad Com,
missioner We most heartily endorse.
Mr.. Wolling is now in the prime OF
life. He is one of the country's
largest and most successful farmers
He is a public-spirited man, as is
shown by his great interest in the
school of his community, the session
of which has often been extended by
his contributions. He is deser7edly
popular in his own community, nav
inc received 149 out of the loO votes
cast at his home box in 1900. He is
also very popular in the county, ba7-
ing twice headed the ticket for the
House Of Representatives. Then,
too, MI. Wolling has had seven years
experience IN practical railroading,
having been a machinlst by trade,
serving in the capacity of locomo,
tive engineer.
In asking you to support him. We
feel sure that wherever be may be
he will be found to be a m Ii of the
highest type of Christian character
whose reputation is unsallied, whose
ability is uuquestioned, and whose
peculiar fitness for the office he seeks
Is recognized by many, many citizens
of Fairfield County.
Mr.. Wolling makes the following
statement in regard to his race:
"If elected I will give the office
my entire time, the benefi of twenty
five years practical, successful busi-
ness experience, end in this way give
the people of the State that service
they are entitled to expect from q
Railroad Commissioner. Ialso pledge
myself to use every effort in my
power to secure just and equitable
treatment of all interests involved"

The publication in the South Caro-,
lima papers of an alleged rupture be-
tween the President and Senator Nc
Lsurin and John G. Capers has
csused much comment in Washing
ton. both among the friends OF Sena-
tor McLsurin and Senator Tillman.
sanstor McLaurin, when shown the
articles, merely smiled. 1t is said,
however, that the story has no found
alton in fact.
The story Of the Harris appoint
ment is fully known and understood.
Weeks before the appointment was
made and he had been selected for
the position, it is said, the question
fthe non residence came up, ana
the President was thoroughly. advised
both by Mr.. Capers and Senator NC
Lsurin on that point. Why the
nomination was withdrawn is still not
clear, but may be known now to
shose directly interested, Develop
ments are anticipated before long
and Harris is expected, as was stated
the other day, to land in another
good position, where the opposition
of Senator Tillmsn and his friends
will not avail. If Harris is appoint
ed to the deputy marshslship under
Marshal Cunningham, a conhrma-
ton by the Senate will not be neces.
sary, as the appointment is optional
with the marshal.
As to Cunninghsm's nomination
for marshal, which it is alleged was
made in ''the face of the strong ef-
forts of Senator MeLsurin and Mr.
Cspers," it was announced IN the
columns of the Evening Post by It's
Washington correspondent, on IN
doubted authority, that deal had
been made whereby CaPers had en-
dorsed Cunningham for marshal IN
order to land Harris in the postomce'
Senstor McLsurin took no part IN
the contest. He stood in the posi-
tion Of a friend to Melton, Cunning
ham and Capers, and during the con-
test frequent conferences were held
between the four men in the Sens-
tors Office in the basement OF the
capitol.
Senator McLaurin does not appear
to be at all nervous" IS to the judg-
ship Of the Court of Claims. The
Senator has uniformly refused to
speak upon the matter except to
state that the subject has never been
mentioned between himself and the
President. Several Of the Senator'S
friends stated this week that the
Senator will be appointed probably
after the expiration of this session.
but they deny that he is, or has, en-
gagged in any wire pulling for the
judgship. AS to the position of the
Democratic Senators upon the issue
of the Senstors confirmation to a
prospective nomination, it is only
necessary to point out that Senators
invariably refuse to commit them
selves upon nominations likely to be
made, and which can be discussed
only in executive session.

BUTTERFLIES.

Winged Loitercrs That Court Sunshine
The Monarch, Vicrroy and FritiiIary.
OF all the children of the air" that
gladden. the day, the monarch butter
fly is one of the most noticeable. Its
wings simmer like gold alloyed with
copper, as 1t pursues its lazy flight in
the sunshine. The made monarch Is
a true dandy and carries on each hind
wing a black sachet bag containing a
strong perfume, most attractive to the
other sex. The monarch is immune
from bird enemies; the callow bird
ling that takes a bite from 1t wipes
his beak in disgust, and forever af-
ter connects the noisome taste with
orange wings-a too hasty conclusion
which the viceroy butterfly takes ad-
vantage, and, by donning the mon
arch's uniform, escapes scathless, al
though any bird might find it a beak-
some morsel.
Ofttimes the summer wayfarer notes
ahead of him in the country highway
a spot which seems a blotch of vivid
sunshine. AS he approaches It sud-
denly resolves itself into many CLINT
ing. yellow butterflies. These road
side butterflies are the most familiar of
all their kind. and are therefore the
widest known; however, few people
ever see them when they are green
caterpillars securely hidden among
the leaves of clover in the fields that
border the road. Perhaps It is the
utter retirement of the larval life that
makes the adults take to the road and
become such incorrigible tramps.
"The sign Of the thistle" Is favor
ite lounging place for many winged
loiterers. Among these may be seen
a large. tawny butterfly with a wealth
of silver currency of dierent denom-
nations scattered over the lower sur
surface of his hind wings. The name
of this free coiner is the great span
gled fritillary. In all his arrogance
does he perchance remember when he
was caterpillar feeding by night on
the leaves of the modest violet, and
hiding himself from sight during the
day? 1t were almost worth while to
be a butterfly II thereby he might re-
member all the experience stored up
in two previous incarnations.-Coun

The officer tells how last month the
squadron was halted in the harbor of
a little southern city that was much
excited over a lottery drawing soon to
be pulled off. An ensign on a sister
ship of the Iowa bought for 81 one
tenth chance at the 100000 prize, and
then. out of idle curiosity, attended the
drawing. There was considerable rig
marole for a time, and dark-skinned
native posted on a board a number

looked at his ticket and 1t was the
same number as that which had won.

speak. He had to walk out into the

lottery brought to him aboard his ship

he is poor. and as he is also married

the other. and gradually the whole
upper part Of his body.
Through the remainder of the day
he was prostrated, but he pluckily
went back to the work the next day,
and from that time on there was no
lack of precaution on his part.
A later incident. In which the other
diver figured indicates well to what a

hard work of the divers. In raising

In the sand the tongs by which he
held II slipped and ripped the cover
entirely off the box while Il was yet a
foot from the top of the hole.
But by the greatest care and pains
he finally succeeded in resting 1t on
the level sand outside the hole with
out spilling single coin. 1t was
hauled up 10 the boat in n bag, and
found TO contain nearly thirty thous-
and dollars. OF course the weight of
these boxes in the mixture of sand and
water was fer less than it would have
been in the air.
Uninterrupted by other incidents,
the work of recovery went on until the
first of January when the increase of
surf, with the change of season, made
further operations impossible. The
last box of treasure was extricated on
Christmas day, and although regular
trips below were made daily during
the week that followed, no more boxes
were brought to the surface. Then
the men stopped their work and left
the spot, fully intending to repeat the
operations in the following year: but
during the winter the party scattered
far and wide, ard were never reunlt-
ed.
Many schemes for obtaining the rest
of the treasure, by dredging, building
breakwaters or inserting coffer-dams,
have been talked about, but no one
has yet recovered dollar of what
the San Francisco sailormen failed 10
lift; nor has any one produced n
scheme which, in the opinion of the
