Dental Job Goes Begging.

Municipal authorities of Barmen, Prussia, have been requested to adver- tise for a dentist who is willing to at tend an elephant, an inmate of the local zoo. He suffers from peevish- ness in consequence of frequent at- tacks of toothache, caused by over- abundance of sweets. At such times he is practically manageable. The local dentists refuse to attempt to fill his teeth. One dentist was brave enough to try to examine an aching tooth, but the enraged elephant chased him around the inclosure and the dentist afterward sent in a bill for damages caused by the shock.

 Recently one of the biggest sena- tors from the west stalked into Judge Ballinger's office while he was sur. rounded by crowd of newspaper men.
 Come out to lunch with me-" some what confidently said the senator
 It's not my lunch time yet, thank you" replied the commissioner.
 Then I'll wait for you" said the senator.
 I'm afraid if you do you'll wait un- til about six o'clock, because I've got so much work piled up on my desk that I probably shan't be able to get away before that hour
 The senator then took his seat in the reception room and waited, with what patience he could command, his regular turn to talk to the commits sioner, but when he did secure con- ference he had to talk out loud and this made him go away angry-also empty handed.

 "I married a new woman, sir,' the prisoner groaned.
 "Aha, said the missionary. And she was so domineering and extrava- gant that it drove you to desperate courses, eh?'

LOBBYISTS NOT FOND OF NEW FEDERAL OFFICIAL
News Gathered Here and There at the National Capital

WASHINGTON.-Judge J. B. Bal W finger of Seattle, the new com missioner of the general land office of the interior department, has set the politicians and lobbyists to guessing. When members of the senate and house call to see him on official busi- ness he refuses to converse with them in whispers, but makes them talk out loud so that everybody within earshot can hear what is going on. Western senators and representatives are es- pecially displeased with this new dis pensation of things conversational in the land office. Those of them who go there to confer with him usually have business that they do not want everybody to know about, at least un- Ill they have secured what they want, put Judge Ballinger is proceeding upon the hypothesis that public busi- ness is everybody's business. and so ne insists upon all classes of visitors speaking in tones that plainly convey ltne meaning of their words to all parts of the room he occupies. To some senators and representatives
 wno have objected to his tactics the i new land commissioner has politely

Difference in the Races.

The Frenchman of the middle class sacrifices everything in order to ob- tain for his children some official po- sition or other, a mean one, perhaps, but sure one, leading after 30 years of penury to pension verging on des- titution. This is one aspect of the de- cay of the French race It is easy to understand that two races are not evenly armed for the struggle for life if one be made up of aspirants to of ficial positions and the other of indi viduals possessing initiative, daring and energy. For this reason do Latin races decline, while Anglo-Saxon races grow and multiply.-Paris Steele.

No Room for Love,

A silvery stream, with waters dark, Beneath the woodland shade; A birch canoe, lover tall
 And a little blue-eyed maid. preamily drifted the birch canoe,
 With the maid the man so tall, Just little canoe, with room for two, But no room for Love at all. The lover gazed in those eyes of blue While his heart was beating fast; The maiden idly trailed her hand In the wavelets rippling past. And little Love god how ring OCT Came down like a bounding ball Into the canoe, with room for two, And no room for Love at all. The Love god slyly pushed the man To his knees before the maid, Then merrify laughed in wicked glee At the havoc he had made. A scream. A splash In charity
 Please let the curtain fall; In the little canoe there was room for
 two,
 But no room for Love at all!

WILL SPEND MILLIONS RECLAIMINC DESERT SOIL

Great American Desert His name is attached to many of the original maps of Arizonia, New Mexico and Califor- nia The reports of his investigations are valuable contributions to the knowledge of the arid country and it's possibilities, and have been of espe- cial value in the preliminary work of the reclamation service.
 In 1S98-1900 Mir. Davis had charge of the Photographic work on the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes, and his reports furnished much need ed and important information con- corning both plans. He joined the reclamation service immediately after the passage of the reclamation act, and since that time has taken part in all the engineering work connected herewith.
 MT. Davis is man of great indus try and is enthusiastic in developing efficient and businesslike methods in the operation of the service. His characteristics are clear Judgment and sound common sense, and these, combined with a thorough understand ing of the principles of engineering design, fit him for the responsible post to which he has been appointed. His promotion meets with the un- qualified approval of all the engineers of the service, and is regarded by them as a reward for faithfulness and efficiency.

Lakaff was in the box for the Colts and the defeat can in no way be attributed to poor flinging by the star side wheeler. He had the tail. end Montgomery bunch puzzled all the way, and but for poor support would have bagged the game. His lack of support was not only in the field ing department of the game, which was bad, but also in the failure of the Colts to wield the willow when swat would have turned the tide.

The O'NeaIl Building.

We give place this week to the letter OF Mr.
]. L. Roche In protest Of the proposed taking
of the O'Neall lot on which to build a city
hall.
Condemnatory proceedings are regarded by
some as harsh. and we are inclined to sy npa
thize with the owner who objects TO the sur
render OF his property. Mr.. O'Neall hat
owned the Masonic Lodge for forty years
and 1t may be that he has An attachment fol
1t other than for its real value In money.
We understand that Mr.. O'Neall holds the
same at $4,000. His %neighbors would esti-
mate 1t at about half that sun
or course 81 5000 s out Of all reason. But il
the city needs the lot which Is estimated a.
$1,000, We would suggest that. rather than pay
5000 for 1t, or take 1t by condemnatory pro-
ceedings. we offer him "a. 500 for II.
II we take 1t from him by force, the act
itself may mar our pleasure in looking upon
the building In future.
The Press and Banner would prefer to give
81, 500 extra, rather than have a fuss about II,
In case Mr.. O'Neall Is not willing to meet
US half way, then We can do something else
We must have q nice building, and we
must look upon 1t with the pleasure which
should not be marred.
The kindly spirit Of Mr.. Roche completely
disarms US. and we hope that neither he moi
Mr.. O'Neall may have either cause or pre-
text for bitterness.

Few colored families have more pork IN tnelr

On His Old stamping Grounds.

Mr.. John Z. McCracken Of the Mccormick
Messenger came TO tow last Sunday to at
tend an official sale on Monday. Mr.. Nc
Cracker used TO be a highly priced printer in
the Press and Banner office. where he left
friends who are always glad to see him. He
has been away SO long that he hardly reccg-
nized the old town In which be met but few
OF the old faces that were once familiar to
him. HI and some OF his friends still dream
OF securing a court house for Mccormick, and
1t occurs 10 US that they need the court house,
and that 1t would be to the Interest of Able
Vile to help them to get what they 30 much
desire.
People around Mccormick are thirty miles
from Edgefeld and twenty miles from Able
willie, and 80 they need the court house.
Abbeville gets almost no trade from McCor-
mick, and we would not lose by aiding them
to get their desires.

More Hopeful.

The unanmity OF sentiment In favor Of 8
fine court house is most encouraging. What
ever! Indifference may have existed has given
place, with few exceptions, to q desire for 8
fine building.
Speaking for this editor, We would sooner
rock along with the old tobacco barn with
plank shutters than 10 build q $4,000 or 8
$4,000 house.
IT. therefore, The gentlemen In charge o.
this cannot consent to build a 100000 house
we think the people might be satisfied &c
meet skipf1ints half way, and make 1t Q
SIS. 900 house.
In case, however. the committee contem-
plates building a less costly house than
$4,000 we hope that they may build nothing.
Ifthey cannot come up to that figure, and If
they will build nothing, we are quite sure
that l t will not be five years until a commit
tee can be had 10 build Us a sl00, 900 house, and
this people had better wait and use the old
barr q little longer.
Abbeville is able 10 do anything, and 1t IL
wrong to place q low estimate on both oul
pride end our ability 10 building a house thai
will be an ornament for fifty years.
