RAGsDALE FOR CONGRESS.
The Mayor Of Timmonsville Speaks for
Him in Words of No Uncertain Sound.

In these days when charges OF
corruption in politics are so com,
mon, it is encouraging to have be-
fore us as candidate for the lower
House of Congress young man
whose record as citizen and repre-
sentative must commend itself to all
who stand for efficiency and integ-
rity in public life. 1t Is needless to
say that l refer to the candidacy of
j Willard Ragsdale, Esq, who in
making such a strong race for Req
resentative from the 9th Congress
sional District.
Native and to the manner born,
his life, private and public, may be
seen and known of all men. Born
and reared in the town of Timmons-
vile, the unanimity with which its
citizens support him is high testi-
timonial to his sterling merit. Al,
though they bow to no mans dlcta-
tions and wear no mans collar they
have discernment, and knowing what
and whom they want they do not
hesitate to make known their posi-
ton. They declare their belief IN
the fitness of the popular young SEN
ator for the position to which he
aspires for these reasons.
In his private life, he is sober and
without reproach.
In his public life he has met the
highest expectation of his constitu-
ents and as Representative and Sen
ator kept IN close touch with their
wishes; and they trusted in him
rightly that measures for they would
receive the benefit of his bright in
tellect and indomitable energy.
The marked success he has made
in his chosen profession of the law,
being readily recognized by the
brightest minds at the bar as young
man of unquestioned brilliancy, and
as foeman, worthy Of their steel,
marks the man worthy of prefer
ment.
The modern idea in business and
in politics is to put young men in
positions of trust and responsibility.
Past the age of immaturity and ex-
perience, he is just on the threshold
of the best years of achievement.
His fellow-townsmen and fellow
citizens from Florence County
confidently present him to
all the unbiased voters OF the Sixth
District as a candidate worthy of
their suffrages, and one who they
confidently believe, if elected, will
bring things to pass for his constit-
uency. CHAs. A. SMITH.

Some Elephants Fond Of Tobacco.
Tim Buckley, who knows elephants
as mother knows her own children,
said last night that the story of the
elephant cherishing revenge for the
tailor who had given him a piece of
tobacco and years after soaking him
with muddy water is all a fake.
Elephants will not take tobacco or
anything else, If they do not want it,
even IT they have had it in their
mouths; and what is more, l have
known elephants to be really fond of
tobacco and eat it with pleasure.
have had elephants that would steal
plug Of tobacco out of a mans
pocket and swallow the whole thing.
They do not like the tobacco, but
they do like the licorice. Men and
boys frequently give them tobacco and
other things which they do not like
under the pretense of feeding them
peanuts, but the elephant is wise, and
he will simply toss such things to
one side and go on the ordinary course

Yacht Built of PAPER.

Out of the sheets of an Austrian
daily paper an ingenious Viennese en-.
gineer has lately constructed for his
own use a small yacht, fifteen feet
long, decked all over and provided
with centerboard. In the making of
the hull, deck, masts, sails and rud-
der. several thousand copies of the
journal were used-each plank re-
curing no fewer than $500 leaves
and enormous pressure had to be en-
ployed before the necessary solidity
could be obtained. The inventor has
already made several excursions on
the Woerth See, and even in squally
weather his boat is said to have be-
haved admirably.
