How THEY FLEECE EACH OTHER.-
1t was a dull day in the Wall street
brokers' office. The broker was sitting
in his office, shooting flies when an
idea struck him. Grabbing quickly
he captured one of them and, daubing
a little mucilage on piece Of paper
let the fy's legs dangle in it. Then,
mounting a chair, he placed the fly
carefully on the wall. Pretty soon a
broker friend came in.
"Jingo, but this is dull" said the
owner of the office, stretching himself
and yawning. IF 1t wasn't for the
flies l would go to sleep"
But say" he remarked, Frightening
up, I'll tell you what I'll do. See that
fly over there on the wall. I'll bet you
500 1t doesn't move in five minutes"
You're on" said Broker No. 2, look
ing around at the other flies buzzing
merrily.
He settled.-New York Sun.

THE SOUTH AND WEsTBRN.-The
South and Western Railroad company
has made some material changes in
the way Of construction recently. All
of the work from Altapas. in Mitchell
county. to Camp No. some ten miles
from Marion, has been taken from the
Carolina company and let to independ-
ent contractors, known as the McCabe
company. 1t is thought that this
means quite a change in every respect
and that 1t will facilitate the work.
The tunnel near Marion is about
1900 feet long, and has been let to
Patton, Richardson & Co., and all work
south of Marion to Bostic st the lower
edge of Rutherford county, has been
let to the Miller, Quigg Construction
company, with the exception Of four
miles, which goes to Purcell, Allen
Sheehan & Co.
The contractors are all on the ground
and are beginning in a business-l like
manner: and it appears to the people
of the community that not many
months hence will find roadbed grad
ed and completed entirely through Nc
DOwell county.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TREEs.-1t Is
impossible to overestimate the import
ance of trees, either for their econo-
mic value or their worth for other pur-
poses. 1t is therefore no vain and idle
clamor which scientists and others are
raising over the threatened extinction
of many of our most valuable trees
To aid in the fight to save the trees
the government has adopted many ex-
pedients, not the least Of these being
the establishment Of department OF
forestry and the setting apart Of day
devoted to the planting and study OF
trees This day is now at hand. and
all over the land there will be fitting
celebration. How much better were IT.
though. If instead of observing the day
with blare of trumpet, as it were, with
an immediate forgetting Of its aims
and purposes, we should remember
every day to do some little act towards
testifying our stand in the matter OF
replenishing our forests.-Chester Re-
porter.

YES OR No.-"Lawyers in their cross
examination have no right to browbeat
innocent and WELL -intentioned Witness
es," said Mayor Jones of Cleveland.
when a lawyer, misconducting him
self in this way, gets the worst of II,
it is a good thing 1t teaches him a
lesson.
"An honest old gentleman was being
ss-examined the other day in an
Ohio court.
WAS the defendants tone, then,
angry?' said the cross examining law
yer to him.
"'well. If 1t were not he began,
but the lawyer interrupted.
"'Come, come he said in the blus-
tering tone that we all know. Come,
come. We have had enough wells"
and butts" Give me a plain answer.
Was his voice angry? Yes or no?'
Really said the witness, I can't,
in justice to all concerned, reply yes"
or mo- to such a question. Either
answer would be misleading. You see,

"Do you mean to say shouted the
lawyer, that there is any question in
the world to which a plain yes or no
could not be answered.

"'Could you put such a question to
me?'
"T could
"Do II, then. Do it at once, sir. 1
defy you to ask me a question that
can not answer with straightforward
yes or no.
THE old gentleman leaned forward
and, smiling a little, he addressed the
lawyer, slowly and deliberately, with
these words:

own opinion-in your own opinion
mind you, for no one else can have any
possible doubt upon the subject-will
you tell us whether you are as big an
idiot as you look?'"

On the Battery.

Some time ago stranger in Charles
ton complained of the condition of
Simms's bust on the Battery. The spi-
ders have woven cocoons in the ears;
the birds have nested in the hair. The
parties who are responsible ought to
look to 1t and have this bust properly
preserved for 1t is one Of Charleston's
noblest monuments, as honorable to the
city as it is to the genius, whose keen
glance still scans, as in life the stretch
Of marsh and woodland he loved so
we'll and whose defiant brow still scorns
'the myrmidons of hell, as he called
those who were aiming their shells at
st. Michael's spire. in the days Of war.
His plantation house at Woodland, an
imposing southern mansion, which was
two miles from Edisto river, had been
twice burned the last time by Sher-
mans army. His city house in Charles
ton had also been burned and the close
of the war saw him amid the ashes of
his hopes and the desolation Of his
property Soon thereafter, "ere the evil
days drew nigh," he laid his burden
down and entered into rest.
In his home life a jovial. kindly man,
whose unfailing humor made him
loved. . His life was as open as the
day; he had nothing to conceal. He
lived his life according to the lights
before him and preserved his crown OF
spiritual manhood in a time that tried
mems souls.
Nothing less than a genius Of high
order could turn from a wrecked print
ing office and bowling mob to follow
the delicate romance of Atlantis and to
revel far from human strife and care
in the painless meadows Of the deep
among sprites and fairies and goblins
When calmer judgment is turned upon
Simms he will be found to rank, not
only as one of the nations greatest
writers, but also as one of the nations
mightiest men.

. A BELATED PRAYER.-A good anec-
dote is related of young minister who
was supplying the pulpit OF the Wren
than Congregational church during
the absence Of its pastor, the Rev.
Elisha Fisk, better known as Priest
Fisk" whose pastorate in this church
covered a period of fifty-six years.
Upon opening the Bible the young
minister came across the following no
tice, which he read: "Mr. Libbius Por-
ter desires the prayers Of the congre-
CATION, that his loss may be sanctified
for his good"
Signs OF suppressed merriment ap-
peared through the congregation, but
the cause was a complete mystery to
the young minister, who upon arriving
at the home of Mr.. Fisk for lunch in
quired Of Mrs. Fisk the cause Of the
unseemly hilarity.
She informed him he had read an
old notice, used by her husband as a
bookmark. 1t had been presented by
Mr.. Porter a year or two before, upon
the death Of his third wife. Mr.. Por-
ter with his fourth bride, sat in the
congregation while it was being read

POSTED HER LoVER.-An eccentric
and very busy old gentleman. who
firmly believes that "time is money
and Is a deadly enemy Of verbosity in
any form, has a pretty daughter, and

him to be as laconic as possible when
asking papa" or he would stand no

The young gentleman promised to

WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS.
TContinued from First Page. ]

Bruins and James r. Randall, the au-
thor OF Maryland. My Maryland"
Governor George McDufie hung on
SImms's words and went away, saying
he had met the greatest man he ever
knew, and that the half had not been
told. Nothing will afford adequate par
allel except the gathering at Holland
House, during the halcyon days of let
ters in Old England.
In any society Simms lowered above
conversation and it was natural he
should do so. He could not possibly
meet his confreres on equal terms.
None might be compared with him in
depth of analysis. in breadth of view
and in discursive information on a
great range of subjects.
1t was true of Simms, as 1t was Of
Dr. Johnson, that he was greater in his
conversation than he was in his books.
His mind was so fertile that he found
it hard to transmit all his thoughts to
paper; in conversation all this came
out in one enduring stream, when he
was with kindred spirits.
Not Truly Appreciated.
Simms has never been rated at his
true worth in South Carolina. He is
first of the south's literary men. and
easily first There is no other name
that could even by stretch Of Ian
guage be compared with him. To as
sert this is easy; to prove it is mat
ter of going through his works and of
comparing them with the best of 9TH
ers. This may not be done at this
time, but 1t can be done and the asser-
ton will be found to be within the
truth.
hope at some future time to discuss
his works, but it has been suggested
that there will be an opportunity to
hear the story of Simms's life from a
loving and gifted daughter. Mrs. Chew
illette Simms Rowe, and such an op-
portunity to hear the inner story of a
great mans life from such a source
comes but rarely. Who can estimate
the worth Of it? Mrs. Rowe intends
to enter the lecture field and to give
some talks about the personal side of
her father, and she can lay the entire
literary world under obligation by do
ing so. She should receive all possible
encouragement in so praiseworthy an
effort.
