POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The coming of the legislature always
brings lot of political gossip tn CO.
lumbin and before a week has passed
it can be pretty definitely known who
will be in the race next summer. So
far no one is announced against Gov.
Heyward, who will naturally seek a
second term. although there has been
some talk OF Mr.. NJ. f. Ansel, of G reen-
Vile. who made the race before, MIR.
Ansel undoubtedly intends to run for
governor again but he may prefer to
wait until 1906.
Lieut.. Gov. John r. Sloan will seek
re re-eiection this year aud will probably
want the higher Office in 1906. He
may have opposition this year.
All the other State officials, 40 far as
known. will seek reelection, and all
but Treasurer Jennings are serving
their hreS terms, but this fact by no
means precludes opposition.
The term of Railroad Commissioner
G. w. Garris expires and there will be
the usual hurdle race for this com fort
able berth. Mt: Garris. now chairman
of the boord, will stand for re- election,
and will be opposed by John &. Mob
ley. of Fairfield, w. Boyd Evans, of
Columbia, and "CansIer of Tirzah,n all

THE DOORWAY.

In the heart of the day strayed to
the heart Of tangled wood,
And there, like dream, before me
desolate portal stood
Strange and solemn and sombre it
stood-and 1 was alone;
Mystery fell like a fog; fear swept
by like a moan.
It was bolted strongly above, and
bolted below again,
And one of the bolts was Sorrow, and
the other bolt was Pain.
Two dim lights hung in the shadow,
two red and misty spheres,
And my soul sank as saw them, for
knew they were Blood and
Tears.
The way was lost behind me, back
ward I dared not go;
/ beat upon the portal, and my heart
broke with the blow.
Bruised, and bleeding, and blinded,
forced the bolts to move
I passed through the dreaded door
way and the other side was
Love!

An Abridged Bible.

At a gathering OF several ministers
one Of them, who Is opposed to the So
called ''higher criticism" told the fol-
lowing story:
Zone day a member of q certain
church, who had listened attentively
for five years to the preaching of his
pastor, took to the divine his Bible,
which was truly sight to behold,
with whole books clipped out here or
passage gone there. Indeed, be-
tween the covers there was little else
left but few shreds of paper The
pastor was Mortified and rebuked his
parishioner for using the Bible SO
shockingly. The parishioner meekly
replied:
" 1t Is all the result Of your preach
ing. When went home from church
each Sunday l cut out Of the book
that which you had criticized in your
sermon Of that day. That verse on the
Trinity was an Interpolation, so out
went the strong verse. Then the ca
nonicity Of this book and that was
doubtful, SO out went this book and
that. John did not write the gospel
Of John, so out went what was called
the gospel Of John. This bit of his
tory was not history, only allegory, so
out went that false and deceiving
thing. Positively, sir, L. have been
faithful with my shears, and this is
all the Bible have left-the two COW
ers and few tatters.'"
