had the appearance of opposition
to Mr.. Wells. Governor Ansel:
as is we'll known, is a stickler
for enforcement Of law. and Mr..
Clayton's letter is of the nature
to coddle up to the sunny
side of the governors approval:
but like most people who scheme
they over-reach themselves, and
this is just what Clayton did
when he said I'VE in Florence

our former governors who rather
prided themselves upon the
quantity and quality Of cuss
words they could employ. but 1t

erncr, he neither cusses h1msell,
nor does a fluent cusser nave
much weight with him when

The locker system IN cluos Is
no more unlawful in our opinion,
than would be the keeping OF a
bottle in ones office desk, or
sideboard at home, or any other
place where private liquor is
kept is but not sold. Ii the act
which Mr.. Clayton quotes means
that a man cannot purchase
whiskey, and take it to his club
for his private use, then the
sooner a case is made up SO the
courts can declare it unconsti.
tutional the better it would be:
such a law would not stand be-
fore q court: the courts have
always been exceedingly careful
in interfering with private
rights, and if the keeping of a
bottle of liquor in a private
closet for personal use. in a
social club room or private office
is not a private right, then what
is it,:

Governor Ansel has appointed
Senator W. H. Wells. Of Flor

in place Of Hon. Jno. S. Wilson,
resigned. Mr.. Wells was rec
commended highly by law
yers throughout the circuit, and
also by the Senator. and Repre-
sentative Scarborough of this
county. 1t is especially crafty
ing to the writer that Mr.. Wells
was selected for this important
position. because we regard him
a young man Of fine integrity.
and splendid ability. He will
make a worthy successor of So
licitor Wilson, whose zeal, ener-
gy and duty well performed was
so thoroughly recognized, that
the Representatives OF the people
at large placed the judicial ermine
upon his shoulders. The contest
for the appointment was close
and spirited there were several
applicants, and all good and
worthy men, hence the honor of
being selected is the greater to
the successful candidate. and the
greater is the appreciation of
those who endorsed him, and
those who firmly stood by their
endorsement. Solicitor Wells
will represent the State here in
our next term of court, and we
extend to him a warm welcome.

Wretched Misery Of the Aniable but
lmprudent Author.
In 175S. two years after Goldsmith
returned from his wanderings on the
continent, he presented himself at Sur
geons' hall for examination as hos
pital mate, with the view Of entering
the army or navy; but he suffered the
modification Of being rejected as un-
qualified. That he might appear be-
fore the examining surgeon suitably
dressed Goldsmith obtained new suit
of clothes, for which Grifhths, the
publisher of the Monthly Review, be-
came security. The clothes were to
be returned Immediately when the pur-
pose was served, or the debt was to be
discharged. Poor Goldsmith, having
failed in his object and probably dis
tressed by urgent want, pawned the
clothes. The publisher threatened, and
Goldsmith replied:
IT know Of no misery but jail, to
which my own imprudence and your
letter seem to point. I have seen it
inevitable these three or four weeks
and. by heavens, request it as a favor
"a favor that may prevent something
more fatal have been some years
struggling with q wretched being, with
all that contempt and Indulgence bring
with it. with all those strong passions
which make contempt insupportable.
What. then. has e Jail that Is formida-
ble:"
Such was the hopeiessness, the deep
despair Of this imprudent but amiable
author who has added to the delight Of
millions and TO the glory Of English
literature.

The speech Of Secretary Taft,
so far as it relates to the South
and the negro, is far more con-
servative than any other public
utterance from a Republican we
have ever heard. He thinks the
negro should be allowed to vote,
but he also believes in an educa-
tional, and property qualitica
ton. The constitution Of South
Carolina adopted in 1895 permits
just what the distinguished
presidential candidate advocates.
All citizens. white and black,
can vote in this State if they
comply with the law, and the
law is based upon the constitu
tlon. The law does not discrim-
mate against the franchise Of
the black man.

Point In This Story.
Once q farmer had 1850 bushels Of
wheat, which he sold not to a single
grain merchant. but to 1900 different
dealers, 4 bushci each. y few Of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient

months passed and the mans bank
account ran low. How is this:" he
said. My 1850 bushels Of grain should
have kept me in affluence until another
crop is raised, but have parted with
the grain and have instead only vast
number Of accounts. so small and scat
tered that cannot get around and COL

So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came The rest said,
'Iine is only i small matter, and !

getting that. though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant large sum 10 the UlIu-
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so bad that he fell out Of bed
and awoke and. running, to bis gran

still safe there. He had only been

Equal TO the Occasion.

The Countess Waldegravc was mar
ried four times One evening she ap-
peared ut the opera IN Dublin during
her fourth husbands occupancy Of the
post of chief secretary for Ireland.
An audacious Celt, catching sight Of
her ladyship in one Of the boxes, shout
ed out with real Irish temerity, Lady
Waldesrave, which of the four did you
like best?"
The countess was equal to the oc-
casion. Without 4 moments hesitation

William Jennings Bryan claims
to have discovered the Niger in
the woodpile in President
Roosevelt's proposition for the
federal incorporation of rail
roads, which would remove the
control OF them from State legis-
latures to congress When the
North Carolina conflict occurred
we said then that if the State
legislatures, made up of men
who knew nothing whatever of
the operation of railroads, con-
tinued their raids upon the earn
ing capacity of common carriers,
the investors in railroads would
go to congress and plead for
protection from ignorant wrath,
even, if it became necessary, to
turn over the control of the
roads to the national govern
ment. Colonel Bryan claims the
railroads are making more money
than ever before, yet he has
never had a days experience in
railroading, nor has he counted
the money in their tills: but he
knows they are making money,
and still some of the roads are
taking off trains to reduce run
ming expenses. Politicians can
run railroads and make crops
with hot air, and on paper, but
it takes the oil can and the plow
for the practical work, and
money to put both in operation.

The merchants Of Mullins
have an association to blacklist
those who do not pay their debts.
Wonder if these same merchants
have always been so particular
about paying their own debts.
If SO, they are different from the
merchants of many towns ac-
cording to the published re-
ports throughout the State of the
bankruptcy proceedings in the
United States Courts, and be-
sides many merchants compro-
mise: for 25 and so cents on the
dollar without going into the
courts. We regard all such or.
CARNATIONS nothing more than
blackmailing institutions and
they should be discountenanced.
Let every tub sit upon it's own
bottom. If the agricultural
masses were to organize for the
purpose of blacklisting the mer-
chants who do not give them a
square deal, and would stand by
the obligation, the bankruptcy
courts would have plenty Of
grist to grind in it's mills.

SOUL HOUSES.
Ono Of the Queer Customs Of the An

Ono OF the Queer Customs of the An
cient Egyptians.
Egyptian soul houses were curious
edifices made probably between the
tenth and twelfth dynasties- that is.
about 5000 and $500 B. C. The same
principle that caused the warriors
steed to be slain on his grave seems to
have actnated the early Egyptians
when they built house for the dead
mans soul.
The beginning of the custom was
that mat was laid on the grave, with
a pan Of food upon it. Afterward this
offering was carved in stone as ta-
BILE of offerings to give permanent sat
isfaction for the soul. Then to the ta-
BILE was added shelter copied from an
Arab tent. and this gradually was
elaborated. The shelter was placed on
columns, a hut was put into this por-
tico, chambers were copied. and finally
appeared complete two story houses
furnished with pottery models Of
couch. chair, stool, fireplace and the
figure Of q woman making bread.
The soul was conceived of as ascend
ingafrom the grave through the ground
and requiring shelter while feeding on
its everlasting provision, and yet,
though it assembled through the earth.
It needed staircase to go up to the
upper floor. and the soul had q donkey,
for which manger was required
