Good Reason for Capt. sascomb's In

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt Somers, and TIE new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke Of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease."
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know It."
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's good woman as
ever lived, but most tremendous

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, com.
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
ne says, makes him a laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans If not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be intellectually perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
~ is not If there is not closet room

known what his inclination is, but
there seems to be no secret about the
attitude Of Attorney Gen. Lyon, who
believes that the evidence is suffi-
cient to justify Gov. Ansel in remov-
ing the directors.
The question of jurisdiction was
raised by Mr.. j. f. Mcdonald Of
Winnsboro, who appeared in behalf
of Director Joe b. Wylie. At his ear
nest solicitation, Gov. Ansel granted
hearing Tuesday at noon.
The adjournment of the legislature
is not many days hence, and it is
quite probable that the office will be
removed from the incumbcnts, whcth-
cr or not the incumbents are rcmov-
ed from Office.
The ,lispensary law with all of its
complexities and ramifications is
quite incomplete, indefinite and in-
decisive and there are many points
which admit of double construction.
and Il pcrverSion of the intent of the
law aS we'll as other points which do
not definitely fix the responsibility
of officials beyond quibble.
1t is on such technical points as
these that the right Of the governor
to remove is based. OF course there
is nothing much i'll the position of di-
rector itself, but the matter of re-
mnval for cause is matter affect
ing the honor of the directors and it
is supposed they do not wish to have
their honor impeachcd. The position
pays only $400 a year and to it is
attached Il great deal of work, worry
and responsibility, not to speak Of the
annoyance.

HOUSE DOUBTS ITSELF.
Members Want to See Whether Or
Not They Have Been Bought by
The Railroads.

When the house convened Friday
night, says the Columbia correspond
cnt Of The News and Courier, the
Carson resolution was pending. Mr..
Harley moved to trike out the enact
ing words of the resolution.
Mr.. Carson's resolution, which
was introduced during the afternoon,
is as follows:
"Be it resolved by the house Of
representatives, the senate concur
ring, That committee of six be ap-
pointed, Nhree of whom shall be ap-
pointed by the house and three by the
scnate) to inquire and report back
the names of all members of the
house and senate who arc employed
by the railroads in this state in any
capacity their and the names of all
members who use or have free trans
pnrtation for themselves or their fam
lilies. either in payment of services or
otherwise. and that the said committe
proceed further to make the investi-
CATION herein rcquircl.'
Mr.. Harley said that when he was
elected to the house he considered it
an honor. but he took this resolution
To Indicate THAT to be member was
Il dishonor. Ilc had never spoken to
curry Favor with his home people or
any other section. IIc was not an at
t"rnry for any railroad and did not
have pass, but he objected to any
such resolution, which seemed to
question the honesty and integrity of
the members. If the lawyers who
represent railroads accept passes it
is Il business proposition. BY this
resolution The lawyers are exempt,
but the character and integrity Of the
others are questioned. 1t is a crim-
lnal offence to accept pass while a
legislator, and this resolution places
the members under suspicion Of being
criminals.
Mr.. Werner said he disagreed with
Mr.. Harley. IF any one thinks any
one has pass the best way is to find
it out. Elc had been on the railway
committee for six years and in that
time had voted for only two railroad
bills, but if any one thought he had a
pass, he wanted them to find out the
truth.
Mr.. Hemphill said he occupied q
peculiar position. He had in the past
represented the. Southern railway,
but he belonged to the State of South
Carolina and not to the railroad, and
he had tried to be honest. This reso-
luton impugns the honesty of every
member. He thought the roll should
be called and let every man answer
whether he was guilty or not guilty.
He didn't give continental damn.
SO far rs ho was concerned, but he
had q contempt for the little nincom-
