Some Evils Necessary.

At the K quarter sessions petty
case was being tried. A well known
criminal lawyer, who prides himself upon
his skill in cross-examining witness, had
an odd-looking genius upon whom to op-
crate.
"You say, sir, that the prisoner is q
thief"
"Yes, sir; cause why?-she confessed
it."
'And you also swear she was employ
ed by you subsequent to the confession?'
II do, sir"
aThen," giving sagacious look to
the court, 1--WE are to understand that
you employ dishonest people to work fol
you even after their rascalities are
known"
"Of course how else could I get as
sistance from q alawyer?"
The lawyer only said, "Stand down.

while Mr.. McLaurin was thanking MIR.
Hoar for his remark, Mr.. Tillman enter
ed the Senate chamber and took his seat
few seats to the right of his colleague.
Senator Hoar's remarks, though, of
course, in conversational tone, were
easily audible in the gallery directly above
Senator McLaurin's desk.
Senator Hoar was member of the sub
committee of the Senate committe on
privileges and elections, to which was re-
ferred the entire question Of what punish
ment should be given the South Carolina
Senators for their conflict in the Senate
chamber last Saturday, and was designat-
ed to write the majority report OF the
committee, which, while recommending
equal censure to both the offending Sena-
tors, as a matter of expediency, expressed
the opinion that Senator Tillman had
committed the greater offence. Senator
Hoar is reported as saying in committee
that Senator Tillman had equally as much
right to impugn his motives in his voting
as he did the motives of Senator McLaur-
in.

tary to Senator McLaurin. has has resign

Why Did They Abandon Pompeiif
At a period when newspaper discus

credited appearance Of the sea serpent
and the arrival Of the large potato
Max Nordau in an Austrian journal
propounded 8. problem that should lead
to useful inquiry:
Why was it that the inhabitants o,
Pompeii did not return to their homes
after the destruction Of the city?
OF the $4,000 Inhabitants a few hun
dreds mt most seem to have lost theil
lives. The eruption Of Vesuvtus lasted
only q few days. The deposit OF lava
and ashes was not very thick. The
houses might: have been easily repaired
Many of them stand to this day. They
were beautiful houses, many Of them
richly appointed and containing yalu'
ables Of great price. Had the Pom
peiians no love Of home, or were they
too, supersttious, or did their terror al
the eruption make them believe the
disaster might come again?

Not His Fault at All.

They were quite newly married, and
she was much too young to understand
that man takes little interest in shop
ping expeditions.
She had left his side to look in a win
dow in which were exhibited some winter
mantles which were "just lovely" When
she returned, she took the arm which
seemed to be half grudgingly proffered
and sobbed:
"You don't even lo-look at anything ]
want you toto see. You do-don't care
how am dressed. You no longer 10
love me. You haven't even ker-kissed
me for a whole day, any you"
81 am extremely sorry, madam, but that
is my misfortune, not my fault" said the
gentleman, looking pathetically down in
to her face.
She looked at him and gasped. She
had taken the arm of the wrong man.

For many years after the close Of the
civil war water was not generally dis
titled in vessels Of the navy except on
long voyages. Later on medical stats
tics showed that In ships where dis
titled water only was used there was
almost an entire freedom from dysen'
tery and enteric fevers, while these dis
orders were more or less common In

Hard Times.

ehear much complaint about the hard
life of the farmer. I think much OF this
is a great mistake. Life upon the farm
need not be filed with hardships, at least
it is safe to say that it compares favor
ably with any other calling or profession.
I say favorably. By that / mean that
other callings have as many, and, with
most men, more troubles, trials, disap-
pointments and failures. 1mean to say
that. all considered, farming is the easiest,
surest, and pleasantest way to make q
living in the South. Other callings have
their hardships. Men get up early, labor
hard and continuously, sit up late, and
after all this, have hardly enough to live
upon.
Thousands of city toilers have no light.
1t is toll day in and day out and no
change or prospect of change for the bet
ter. Men whose families are growing up
around them do not find their salaries
growing proportionately. But the farm
er can add to his crop year by year more
and broader acres or he can plow deeper
and manure more and thus increase his in-
come. By studying his business ne can
add new and better methods all along and
thus get larger pay for his time and toll.
The scientific and mechanical world are
working out the solution of his problems
for him, year by year they throw new light
upon soil and plant, they make better and
better tools and implements for his help.
His cattle, stock, and poultry all grow

Middle of the Street.

Persons who have residences on Alfred
street from King to Queen, as well rs
many pedestrians who pass along that
street at night use the roadway in pref
erence to the sidewalks. A great many
trees line each side of the street and in
places meet. This has the effect of Civ
ing good light on the yitrified brick.
The electric lights at the corner of King
and Queen appear more brilliant than
they really are Many OF the sidewalks
are not Of the best; hence the use of the
roadway. Nothing has been done as to
the parking or placing the pavements
where the pavements ought to go. Coun-
ell by an ordinance approved November
IA, 1901, provided for parking
on streets thirty-twO feet or less from
curb to curb" but hedged it about
with what some consider foolish condi-
tionts. This street was to be made an
object lesson in improved street work,
and can be if the property-owners show
the progressive spirit which tits said now
has possession of our citizens. The road
way, of course is much used for street
traffic and does not, for reasons that are oh.
vious, present the best of appearance and Will
not as a resident says, until there is put IN
use horseless vehicles or heshless, inanimate
horses COWS, &c, or the street forces use
brooms and carts twice or three times week,
which will not be done. Improved streets
require attention, and require II all the time.
