A story of the Pope.

The following story of the Pope is
told in the Italian papers. A deputa-
ton of the monks of some order had
obtained an interview with him. Ac-
Cording to the etiquette of the Vati-
can, only cardinals are allowed to sit
in the Pope's presence, and an invi-
tation from him to do so is deemed
equivalent to the promise of cardi-
nalate. Pope Plus x is plain man,
utterly Indifferent to the etiquette of
the papal court. lie therefore begged
the monks to take seats. They hard
ly knew whether they could venture
to do so, and while they stood hesi-
tating he said to them: you do not,
I suppose, expect me to draw your
chairs forward for you?"

Mayor Myers article on graft"
which we reproduced yesterday from
the Brooklyn Eagle, is an interesting
paper, making one of the clearest
statements concerning a prevalent and
growing civic evil that we have yet
seen. And we believe, with the Mayor,
that there is less graft" in the South
than any other section of the country,
because in the South life is cleaner
and the standards of virtue higher than
in any other section. We have a purer
Americanism here than elsewhere; our
ideas and ideals are nearer those of
the God-fearing men and women that
settled the country and won homes
and cities from the wilderness than
may be found North, East or West.

reflections of a Bachelor.
From the New York Press.

FIUIII Ute 4NtW IUIh IIEso'
The biggest gold brick in the world
is the experience that one buys.
When an old chap narries young
woman he must feel like man who
has robbed his best friend.
A girls idea of how to keep her feet
warm is to wear a fur boa, picture
hat or a pearl necklace.
A good cure for fever blisters on
girls mouth is for her mother to stay
in the room when men call on her.
A splendid thing to promote her hap
piness is for man to be so absent
minded that he will make love to his
wife.

Recently a man of the name of
Englebert was convicted at York, Pa,
of horse stealing and sentenced to the
penitentiary. Some days ago he fell
heir to a fortune of $4,000. The coun-

get hold of enough money to pay the
cost of trying and convicting the
man.

The New York Evening Post a few
weeks ago declared that the only doubt
full state in the approaching election
was Maryland; that it was we'll known
how each of the other states would
cast its vote on election day. But it
begins to look as If Maryland were no
longer doubtful. Democratic Chairman
VanDiver says: 1--WE have never been
beaten in this state except by our own
people, and we are all together this
time as we have not been in ten years."
Eight years ago there was serious
split in the Democratic party and many
leading Democrats worked openly to
defeat the organization. Since that
time there has been a gradual clos
ing of the breach until to-day the party
is presenting solid front to the en-
envy.

Gov. McSweeney has no intention

The election of speaker of tn,
house is exciting no little interest
The friends of Mr.. M. l.. Smith Of
Camden claim that he now has sufti
olent number Of pledges to elect, but
Mr. Williams friends are pushing
his candidacy very vigorously. Mr..
Williams is one of the finest parlia
mentarians in the State, but Mr..
Smith is also man Of unusual abil-
ity. Mr.. Rainsford's strength Is not
known, but he is regarded as man
OF highest character and of attractive
personality. y .Ht'
Among other changes it. may be
noted that at this session Edgeield
County will have but two representa-
tives. Twenty. five years ago this
county had seven representatives,
but three new counties have in part
been made of Edgefield territory
since then.
The county Of Lee will for the first
time have representatives upon the
floor of the house. -Four years sgo
Mr.. Keels came over from Lee coun-
ty with his certificate of election, but
the courtsssdeoided that there was no
Lee county-and Mr.. Ksels retired.
There will be several important
questions to come up. The matter
OF taxes is always the most impor-
tant, although 1t sometimes attracts
less attention. This year the ques.
ton will be of greater Significance
because the appropriations have ex-
ceded the income.
The child labor bill will also be
fought to finish. There are many
who assert that the bill will pass.
There are others who claim that they
will successfully oppose the bill.
The cotton mill presidents them
selves seem to have divided on the
question.
Antitrust laws will be given some
attention by the General Assembly.
There will be other measures relat
ing to the management Of corpora.
tlons, but none Of them will exotic as
much interest and as much feeling
as the child labor bill.

be erected in every way moderD,
suitable aud convenient without n

1t is estimated that the present
buildings and grounds would bring
about $4,000, and that is not mere

capitalists who have been sounded
on the matter, think suoh sum

but there is almost certainty that
If it is put on the market there would
be no trouble about getting a pur-
chaser. That being accomplished,
the plan is to secure two acres from
the South Carolina College ON Sum-
ter street Oh the lot now owned by
that institution on which is the old
mess hall, some unsightly COW sheds
and a turnip patch. The college
might be given $4,000 of the pur-
chase price for this lot, and leave

TO say that 1902 was the best year

strides which the United States took
IN the year just closed Practically
every branch Of ordinary trade and
manufactures showed an increase
above the best Of previous yeare, and
yet this immense enlargement of out.
put was not sufficient Of itself to sat-
isfy the growing, it might be termed
Unsuitable, demand for all kinds of
materials. In many cases the usual
foreign outlet for our products was,
perforoe, neglected by American pro
ducers, who confined their efforts to
supplying insistent domestic de-
mands, while in others foreign pro-
duotion was called upon to reinforce
domestic output, with the result that
new currents and channels we're
created in our foreign trade. Our
export trade, therefore, shrunk,
while our imports expanded to un
preoedented figures.
The railroads of the country, in
their Efforts to handle the business
offered them, suffered as never be.

OF interference with production and
distribution Of the products of the
farm, the mino, the shop and the
loom was practically universal In.
dustrlal unrest was naturally marked,
as it always ls in times either Of pros
perlty or OF depression, and serious
REORGANIZATION OF some Of the coun

RELIEF FROM THn DOGS.
Citizens Of York County Request Legisla-
tiOn OH the Subject.

lYorkville Enquirer.
10 the General Assembly Of South
Carolina:
We the undersigned citizens of
York county, respectfully urge such
Legislation as will promise mitigation
of what is coming to be generally rec.
ognized as the dog nuisance.
1t gives us pleasure to say that
in his place the dog is useful ami
NAL, always source of pleasure
to his owner, and and sometimes
source of profit, and, therefore,
we would not be understood as
asking anything like general pro-
scription, or the enactment of anti
dog laws that would be either un
necessarily harsh Or unjust.
However, there are too many dogs
in the country and too little respon.
sibility for their ownership, and we
think that for the common benefit,
the ownership of the dog should be
subject to certain wholesome restrc
tions.
We would. therefore, beg to sug
gest the advisability of an aot pro
viding that all dogs in the State
must wear collars to be furnished by
the respective counties, at a certain
proper price per annum, to be fixed
by the general assembly; that the
revenue thus derived over the
above expenses to go to the public
road or public school fund, and that
the respective counties pay bounties,
to be fixed by the general assembly,
for the heads of ali dogs found with
out collars, in accordance with the
requirements of law to be made and
provided.
Note--The foregoing is published
at the suggestion of q citizen who il
interested in this important subject
1t is the idea to have it signed al
extensively as possible, and to tha,
end we will be pleased to append tht
signatures Of all qualified voters wht
desire to be understood as endorsing
the propoaition. Names should b,
handed into this office without della,

otherwise in sufficient numbers t,

Speaking of the sort of government Congress should give to Alaska, can anybody, getting down to real hardpan, common-sense consideration of the subject, tell of what earthly use that territory has ever been to the United. States.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Perhaps Nome may have telegraphic communication with 'the outside" next year, and perhaps it won't. We are admonished, however, that "all things come to those who wait" And the people of Alaska have an intimate ac- quaintance with the waiting habit. They have been practicing it for 36 years.-Nugget.
 The extension of the Nome-Arctic railroad has been completed to the di- vide between Specimen gulch and DeX- ter creek. The track will be laid this season as far as the Nome Exploration company's pumping plant at the mouth of Dexter, and, it is said, ,yit will follow the left limit considerable distance above the creek.
 United States Commissioner Graef and party lost, several hundred dollars of government money in the rapids on Forty-Mile River. They were on the way from Steele Creek to Forty Mile. The boat struck rock ill the rapids and broke in pieces. The party reached the shore safely, but lost the money.
 The people of Valdez are not at all satisfied with the mail service given them by the P. P. & N. Go. and have petitioned the P. O. Department for redress. The petition states that from actual count kept of the arrival of Is mails one was on time, and the other 12 were on an average AZ days late, and that on one occasion the mail boat was actually 14 days late.
 The Tanana is the same as any other camp, writes man who is on the ground. There are men knocking it, and others sticking up for it, the same as they did both in the Klondike and Nome. All of the claims being devel- oped, especially those on Pedro, Wolf and Twin creeks, are paying we'll. Some big clean-ups have been made, and the outlook, on the whole, is good.
 The government assay office for which Whitehorse people have been laboring for so long, has been received at that place. The plant is small one, but it is thought will answer the pur- pose until larger one can be procured. Robert Smart will have charge of the office. MT. Smart is said to be thoroughly competent assayer and he expects to have the plant ready for work this week.
 Every man who comes from the Atlin district tells the same story, says the Skagway Alaskan. It is the greatest country on earth The latest Atlin en- thusiast to come out from that district is G. B. Gaddis, who is operating on lower Spruce and who is one of the largest operators in that great hydraul- ic country. "They have already taken out nearly or quite as much money in the Atlin district as they did last year." said MT. Gaddls, "and conditions there are very favorable. l think can say with truth that the output will be larger this year than that of any season in the hietory of the camp, and yet the camp is still in the development stage.
