A Matrimonial Mistake.

Henry Schaefer, one of the cham
pions of the North American Skat as
ISOLATION, lives in Milwaukee, and at
Milwaukee wedding breakfast he
said, appropos Of rice, the other day:
"The bridegroom is fond of rice. At
least hope he is fond of rice. Other
wise he will be displeased tonight to-
morrow, next week, next month, when
rice comes falling out of his umbrella,
his hat, his slippers, his gloves. Some
husbands, year after their marriage,
still find rice in unexpected places.
$50 I hope the bridegroom is fond
of rice. I hope he will never be called
on to say when rice is offered to him
at table what : once heard a sour
looking man say.
This man refused the proffered rice
with a gesture Of disgust, muttering:
"'No, indeed. Oh, no, indeed
"'You don't seem to like rice much,
said the hostess.
"'No,' the man replied. 1T is asso-
ciated with one Of the most distress
ing mistakes I was ever guilty Of"

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

rho Tribune has had a great deal
-. COW about the distribution of Nor
Non literature at the Portland expo
elton and has led people to believe
tbat the bureau maintained for the
r,rnose is located on the grounds oc
n,,nied by the Utah building, if not in
the building itself.
Now as a matter of actual fact the
Mormon church rented a piece of
around from the exposition manage
ment said ground being separate and
onart from the Utah building. 1t is
NOT ror was it ever, part of the
Ground set apart for this state. The
church people went there and rented
the ground, just like other conces-
eionaires. and is presumably paying a
coed price for the purpose of distrib-
ming literature. So far as we have
heen able to learn no one has gotten
ANYTHING from the management of the
exposition without paying for it and
paying good and plenty. If anyone is
to blame for granting this concession,
it is the management, for Truth knows
and the Tribune can easily ascertain
the same facts, that the Utah COM
missioners specially notified the man
agement that the Mormon church bu-
reau of distribution, under the man
agement of Messrs. Goddard and Hull,
was no part of the Utah exhibit and
was not to be considered as such. Fur
Their: so anxious was the commission
to put itself beyond the pale of criti-
cism for permitting the church author
tiles to distribute literature, that it
was almost dscourteous in its CORE
spondence with the church authori-
ties.
The Tribune knows these conditions
lust as we'll as does Truth, but it will
fully distorts and misconstrues them
in order to create an impression that
the church is utilizing the Utah build
ing for the dissemination of its relig
ious literature.

Vincent was altogether too garru-
lous in school to please his teachers.
Such punishments as the institution
allowed to be melted out were tried
without any apparent effect upon the
boy, until at last the head master de-
cided to mention the lads fault upon
his monthly report.
So the next report to his father had
these words:
"Vincent talks great deal"
Back came the report by post duly

Il has been, and now le, the in7ari-

The question is being considered
by the state treasurer and those who
manage the finances OF the state as TO
whether the state will have to borrow
the S5OO,O00 allowed by law or
whether it will only be necessary to
borrow 100000 of that amount.
It is the opinion, of those who are
studying the matter, that at the end
of the year the state will have to bor-
rowed about s35O,OoO, although this
will be paid back by January OF next
year. The matter will be of general
interest to the bankers throughout
the state and the foancial report CT
1905 will be of great Importance for
those who loan the money to the state
of South Carolioa.

Tee Legislature com mistee on the
dispensary is considering the advisa-
bility of having all liquors bottled at
the State dispensary. It is said that
"Serator Tillman's idea all along has
been to do away with case goods en-
tirely and let the dispensary bottle
it's own goods and place them on sale
as various grades of X's and that the
consumers will get better liquor and
not have to pay 80 much for it" and
in this respect his idea is sound logic
as it will not only give the people
better grade of wbiskey for the same
money but will also give employment
to rnos5 of our people.

The speech Of Hoo. John L. Nc
Laurin before the Cotton Growers
convention which lately met in Co.
lumbia is perhaps the most notable
speech delivered in this State in
recent years. It certainly has a.
trscted more attention from the peo-
pie as whole than any other since
the political upheavsl of 1890. Mr..
McLaurin took a bold aud decisive
stand on that occasion His earnest
ness impressed his hearers that he
was honest IN bis convictions and his
logic was sound. He brushed aside
the ''cobwebs" which have sccumu-
lated around what the politicians call
the sstime bonored principles of the
Democratic party" and forcibly pre-
sented to his hearers the logical and
nationa! sequence of a more business
ike policy, which, if accepted, would
be of prscsical benefit to the agri-
cultural interest of the South. What
be fought for several years ago and
for which be was turned down by the
moss back politicians was simply q
system of protection to the cotton
growers of the South. He contended
that the wheat growers of the West
had been benefited By tariff which
protected them frcm the pauper
labor of Europe and enabled them
to put their ovn price upon the pro-
ducts OF their labor. His arguments
were based upon logical grounds and
were received by applause, which
goes to show that the South, like the
North has already done for decade
or so, that it pays better to pay more
attention to business built upon bus
mess principles that it does to so
much politics, or in other words that
what is good business mnst be sound
politics.
