In the session of Congress just
adjourned there were II, $50 bills
introduced, 3,910 were reported
from the committees, about 2OOO
passed. This record is on a par
with our own State legislature,
which shows that even Congress
men drop measures into the leg

trace of their whereabouts may
be recorded in case anything
should happen. In our State

Judging from the number OF

Grafton, the State was fortunate
in having an automatic lock on
the treasury which was self
locking at the end Of forty days,
else the boys would still be in
session aimlessly introducing
bills, prolonging their stay, al and
drawing four dollars day. The
lower House Of Congress was
made up of new material which
thought it must do something,
and this accounts largely for so
much introduction Of bills and SO
little done.

truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night I would
take dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and would 60 to sleep perfectly
free from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted

it very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip

such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only be of less
duration, but the pains were far less Sc

Our ancestors fully recognized the
value Of good carving, and many were
the rules by which q carver was e1-

things, admonishes him to touch yen1son
only with his knife and to 'set never on
fyche, fesch, beeste ner fowle more
than two fingers and thumbe." Fin

since forks were q luxury Of later date

forks for eating pears, but this was re,
garded, no doubt as q great and spe-
cial luxury.

NAPOLEON'S AWFUL HAND.
One Theory of the Great Mans Fail
ure ut Waterloo.

One Theory of the Great Mans Fail
ure ut Waterloo.
Napoleon, according to Alexander
Dumas, lost such battles as he did lose
because be wrote such 9 fendish hand.
His generals could not read his notes
and letters, typewriting had not been
invented, and the trembling marshals,
afraid Of disobeying and striving to IN
terpret the indecipherable commands,
loitered, wandered and did not come up
to the scratch, or not to the right
scratch. Thus Waterloo was lost. Can
not you fancy Grouchy handing round
Napcleon's notes on that sanguinary
Sunday? "I say" cries the marshal to
lis aid-de-camp, 'is that word Gen.
bloux or Wavre? Is this Blucher or
Bulow" Sc probably Grouchy tossed
up for it, and the real words may have
been none Of these at which be- offered
his conjectures. Meanwhile on the left
and center D'Erlon and. Jerome and
Ney were equally puzzled and kept on
sending cavalry to places where 1t was
very uncomfortable (though our men
seldom managed to hit any Of the cav
alters, firing too high) and did no sort
Of good Napoleon may never have been
apprised Of these circumstances. E1s
old writing master was not on the
scene of action. Nobody dared to say,
"Sire, what does this figure Of cent?
ped mean, and how are we 70 construe
these two thick strokes danked by
blots?" The imperial temper was pep
perry; the great man would have torn
off his interrogator's epaulets and
danced upon them. Did he not once
draw his pistol to shoot a little dog
that barked at his horse? And when
the pistol missed fire the great soldier
threw it at the dog and did not hit him.
The little dog retreated with the hon
ors Of war.
Such was the temper Of Napoleon,
and we know what Marlborough
thought Of the value Of an eQuable
temper. Nobody could ask Bonaparte
to write a legible hand, SO his generals
lived life Of conjecture as to bis
meaning, and Waterloo was not sue
cess, and the emperor never knew why.
OF all his seven OF eight theories Of bis
failure at Waterloo, his handwriting
was not one. Yet if this explanation
had occurred to him Napoleon would
certainly have blamed bis pens, ink
and paper. Those Of Nelson at Copen-
hagen were very bad. IF your guns
are no better than your pens," said q
Danish officer who came In under
flag Of truce before the ight and was
asked to put a message into writing,

Road Inquiries No. 3.
Editor The Manning Times:

How much damage can plowman do
the road by dumping the field dirt from
his plow into the wheel ruts?
Have you ever studied the evolution
of the field in respect to the road?
The field widens imperceptibly at
each plowing and the road contracts.
But after year or two the results are
very plain. The field has taken good
part of the road.
Do the road officials know that at
one place between PaXville and Man
ming the branch has taken the road.
This arrangement makes 1t nice Tor
barefoot children to wade in bat it is
great harm to the highway, which
should be 4 dry-way.
Is it true that if the hand warned for
road duty has not the proper nipple,
ment, he is not compelled to work. and
that it is the supervisors business to
furnish proper implements: This IS
what road overseer told me. And ne
said that this lack OF tools was one
cause of badly worked roads.

CAN'T FOOL 'EM ALWAYS.

To prejudice the minds of the
people against John L. McLau-
rim, it was charged he betrayed
his party, and as evidence Of it,
his success in securing favors
from a Republican administra-
ton was pointed to. We said
then, and we say now, it was a
conspiracy to punish the man,
because he would not be a sup
plant tool for a boss. McLau-
rim was discredited before the
masses in South Carolina and
retired to private life, not how
ever, without being the victim
Of a stab from 1.-The Sumter
Herald, which in a recent issue
very ungratefully, spoke of him
disparagingly-a case of kick
ing a man when he has no more
favors to dispense. McLaurin
is out now and the political lead
ers have had their revenge, the
people were deceived in believ-
ing the charges against McLau-
rim. as is manifest by the leading
press dispatch from Washington
in the News and Courier of 10Th
inst, in which Senator Latimer's
record as an obtainer of favors
from a Republican administra-
ton is approvingly advertised.
-Latimer has always kept friend
ly with the powers-that,be, and
the result is, he has been sue
<cessful in getting favors for his
constituents, and the headlines
ofthe dispatch referred to, show
conclusively what was treachery
to the Democratic party on the
part Of McLaurin, is a shining
virtue on the part Of Latimer, it
says "Senator Latimer is con-
tinuing the record which he
made in the house as a success
ful worker for private interests
Of individual constituents, in
volving the consent or influence
Of federal officials in Washing
ton" Now as long as Latinler
keeps friendly with the machine
and does not presume to exert a
leading influence he may get as
many favors from the administra-
ton as he canand remain a Demo
crat, but should he assert his in
dependence and displease the
boss, word will be sent down the
line to Taboo him, and from the
mountains to the sea every little
cheap politician will be attempt
ing to poison the minds of the
people against him by charging
