i noticed the richness OF 1t, and remarked that the
coffee tasted fine, but my sister did not tell me

clearness to my eyes. Then she told me OF the

Piers Of Aqueduct Bridge.

The contractors engaged in reconstruct
ing pier No. 8 of the Aqueduct bridge are
having unexpected trouble in the prosecu-
ton of that work. This is due to the fact
that a considerable leak has existed in the
cofferdam caused by a water-logged tree
imbedded in the mud below the sheet piling,
which could not be removed at the time the
dam was constructed. Canvas and pud-
ding were found necessary to stop the leak
and 1t is now thought that the reinforced
plant will be able to empty the dam and
permit the removal of the defective pier
Col. Miller, who reports this matter to the
War Department. says further that a num-

Fooling the Colonel.

I doubt if the pranks Of the present

Of his predecessors. can remember
O story that went the rounds some
years ago Of a daring Junior OF the
Grenadier guards who chaffed bis. colo
mel in fashion that would not be
tolerated today. But the colonel was
not disposed to deal leniently with
him. He kept unusually late, OF rather
early, hours, so one day an early pa
rade was ordered unexpectedly, and
FIVE minutes before the hour the colo
mel rode past the culprit's quarters.
CheerfulIy unconscious Of impending
doom, the latter leaned out Of his bed
room window in the airy garments OF
sleep to say good morning. The colo
nel chuckled and rode on, but to" bis
surprise at the stroke Of 9me the sub
altern stepped out on parade fully

Now. this is a conservative es-
innate Of the amount of money
collected by the railroads less
than they would have collected
on the commerce of the State for
last year had it not been for the
interference of the Commission.
The Commission has diligently
under difficulties kept up the
gradual improvement of depots
in the State, so that we have
more new and modern struc-
lures in South Carolina than in
any State in the South. Since
his term began there are on the
Southern railroad twelve addi
tional trains doing passenger
service and five on the Atlantic
Coast Line. While conditions
can never be entirely satisfac-
tory to all the people, is it not
fair to Mr.. Garris to say that he
has done very we'll since he feels
that he has made no demands
except those that are justified?
During the past year there
have been some serious accidents
which have resulted in the loss
of life, yet it is a fact there has
been hauled in this State about
3,500,000 passengers and not a
single white passenger killed,
Now, if Mr.. Garris, who is our
commissioner with only one
term of service, could in justice
and reason begin without exper.
ience and do this much for his
people, ought he not to be re-
tained as a matter of business,
and that too in the interest of all
classes, especially the agricul-
tural classes:
Mr.. Garris' life has been a
struggle for making of himself,
and his strong, intelligent. con-
sistent work for the people we
believe will be rewarded by his
fellow citizens.

A Card.
To the Democratic Voters of Clarendon

County:
1 having entered the race for Clerk
of Court, and at the same time being
your Judge Of Probate, gives my oppo-
nents, and those who are not my
friends an opportunity to say some.
thing about me holding the ofhce OF
Judge of Probate and running for
Clerk of Court. I will say, when llrs1
thought of running for Clerk OF Court.
l talked with my best friends about re-
signing the office of Probate Judge,
which pays but very little, but helped
me to make support, and they, ADVISED
me not to resign, that others had run
for Office and did not resign the otfice
they held: and after | had care1ullE
thought over the matter | decided not
to resign: that if I resigned my oppo.-
nents would say, l should-nave served
OUT my term Of office, and would nave
used it just as much against me as
they are that I did not resign.
Now. the Office of Judge of Probate
and the Office of Clerk of Court do not
and never will become vacant at the
same time unless the Constitution is
changed. So, to run for Clerk Of Court
/ would have to resign, or fill out my
term of Office and wait two years be-
fore | could run, or to run as am
without doing either. l do not expect
my opponents to say that | am the pro-
per man or Tote for me, but as | have
done no canvassing, write this short
letter so that those who do not attend
the campaign meetings can see the
other side of the picture.
Below I publish an itemized state
ment of the cost of holding an election,
with the county chairman's receipt for
the amount, and in case am elected to
the Office of Clerk of Court the county
chairman has in hand an amount suffi-
cient to pay the expenses of electing
my successor to the Office OF Judge OF
Probate.
