OF all the men mentioned as good
senatorial timber and somewhat quail
flied to fill the seat occupied by some
of South Cardinals abeSt Statemen,
]. c. Hemphill, editor of the News and
Courier, is best prepared to fill the
place with dignity and honor and abil-
ity. For years he has given much at
tention to our current political history
and has also studied closely the basal
principles of our government. He Is
not only we'll informed on the indus
trial and financial questions that en-
ter largely into our governmental al
fairs, but he is able to consider them
from q broad and liberal viewpoint.
provincial opinions. but has a mind
open to see the right and he is brave
enough to maintain 1t. 1t gives US
pleasure to pay this tribute to one OF
the best Of southern editors. He has
many friends in the Piedmont who
would regret to see him give up the
tripod for the toga.-Carolina Spartan.
All this has our endorsement We
would not be understood as urging Mr..
Hemphin to be a candidate for the
senate, or intimating even that we
would feel bound to become his parti-
san in case he should become candi-
date. We endorse it because we be-
lieve it is true. We do not believe
there is in South Carolina a man who
is better equipped or otherwise better
qualified for the position Of United
States senator than is Mr.. ]. c. Hem
phil. editor of the News and Courier.
But we are not so innocent as to sup
pose that this fact, even though 1t
were universally conceded, would go
any great length in ensuring his cleo
ton. The conditions determining the
selection of United States senator's do
not hinge so much upon superior fit
ness for the position as upon ability to
excel in the game of politics. There
may be exceptions, of course, but that
is the rule.

THE affairs Of the jamestown expo
sition, which have been a considerable
mess from the beginning are now in
worse shape than ever, all because OF
the inordinate conceit Of President
Harry st. George Tucker, who appears
to be very short on common sense and
unusually long on desire to be recog-
nized as the social lion Of the situa-
ton. Early in the game Tucker be-
gan to assert himself socially in
way that proved offensive to many
distinguished visitors. His method, 1t
Is understood, was to place his own
estimate on the comparative import
ance of different visitors, and to treat
them all in a manner that seemed to
imply that they were expected to feel
appreciation of the honors conferred.
Some visitors who thought they had
reason to feel themselves several sizes
larger than Tucker were so offended at
his attitude that they went away with
wet blankets for the whole business.
Results were manifested in the gate
receipts, and as the only way out OF
the situation, it was arranged that
James NJ. Barr, q level-headed busi-
ness man of large affairs was made
director general, with the understand
ing that he would manage affairs in
such a way as to relieve the situation
as far as possible. But Tucker con-
tinued his policy Of treating visitors
in a way that was calculated to mag
Nifty his own Importance, and as the
result Barr has stepped down and out,
and wiped his hands of the whole mat
ter. That the exposition will be a gi-
gantic failure financially, is foregone
conclusion and the probability is that
it will be largely due to the conceit
of Mr.. Tucker.

LAWYERS and judges are prone to
deny their responsibility for failures
of Justice. They can not escape a
large part of that responsibility. II
the system is so weak that 1t is pos
sible for men to stand as witnesses,
and flagrantly commit perjury without
fear of punishment, the judges and
lawyers are responsible. They could
so amend the laws as to give the judge
the power to investigate the antece-
dents of a witness believed to be
hired, or any other kind Of perjurer.
1t should be within the power OF the
court to make witness give some
evidence of his presence at a certain
place at a certain time when accord
ing to all other evidence, he was not
there. The premium on perjury that
is now permitted is disgraceful.-The
State.
Our contemporary here hits a key
note of a notorious situation. This
matter is we'll worth following up.
The general public is fully aware OF
the fact that many so-called civil
suits for damage, spite, revenge, ETC.,
are little more than lying contests.
Some attention to the crime of per-
Jury would be of most wholesome ef-
feet

Walter Wellman, who has for many
months past been perfecting arrange
ments for an expedition to the North
pole in an airship made an attempt
at a start from Spitzbergen last week:
but the attempt was unsuccessful:
There was a strong gale blowing and
soon after the airship went up with
Wellman and two others in the car, IA
heavy snow began to fall The COM
pass went wrong before the ship had
proceeded far and 1t was deemed wise
to go back and adjust it. The airship
had a difficult struggle with the wind
and lots of trouble in finding its way
back. At length landing was effect
ed on ice and some of the rods OF
the engine were injured in the decent.
The balloon part Of the ship had to be
cut away on account of the wind, but
was afterward recovered. Wellman
decided that in view Of the various
mishaps, the best thing he could do
was to house his airship at Spitzber-
gen and start south. He says he Will
make another trial next year.

is utilized for the detection Of Grim

India. When a man is suspected OF
having committed a crime he is
obliged to chew dry rice in the pres

influence of fear on the glands OF
the mouth and throat that if the

a free spender, but he wanted full
credit for every dollar he put out;
And as the dinner progressed he told
his guests what the expensive dishes
had cost. "This terrapin," he would
say, "was shipped direct from Bal

TO prepare it. The dish actually
cost dollar teaspoonful." So he
talked of the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense OF
the large and beautiful grapes. He
told, down to penny, what he had
figured it out that the grapes had
cost him apiece. The guests looked
annoyed. They ate the expensive
grapes sparingly. But DR.. Hale,
smilingly, extended his plate and

YOUNG fISHHAWkS.
The Way These Ravsnous Feeders At.
tack Thsir Food.

The sppetites of the young hawks
increased rapidly, and in a few days
they easily managed three and
half and four pounds of solid fish a
LAY between them. AT first We used
10 cut the meat in cubes and feed
the birds by hand, but it was not
long before they were able to tear
lip whole Ash by themselves. They
often began by picking oct the eyes,
perhaps because those organs were
conspicuous and easily removed.
They held their food in their claws,
and usually before Selling any part
of it they would finger, so to speak,
with their bills, as though feeling
for good hold. When very hun
gry they would pounce upon the
fish, raise their crests and lower
their wings and tail to the ground,
as though to protect, themselves
against possible robbery, often
screaming Justify between the
mouthfuls. They would tear off
large pieces, jerk them backward
into the throat and swallow them.
They ate every part of fish except
the harder bones. Tough pieces
were removed by a steady upward
pull. and the ends of bones were
twisted off with pivotal movement
such as a man would use to draw a
nail with a pair<Of pinchers. When
they had finished a meal they clean
ed their bills by thrusting them into
the nesting material and turning
them from side to side as one would
force an awl into wood. Later they
elected the bones and other indi-
gestible particles in the form OF
pellets.
As they grew stronger they be-
came able to hold their long wings
in place at their sides. They also
began to exercise their wings by
tapping them steadily in front of
their bodies for several seconds at
n time, meanwhile rising on their
toes. Later when performing this
wing exercise they would keep
jumping up and down as though
testing the strength of their pin
ions. During a rainstorm also they
would flap their wings violently at
frequent intervals and thus keep
their plnmage comparatively dry
