coNoUERoRS CONQUERED.
The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Napoleon.

The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Napoleon.
1t is a remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers of four Of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed the violent or mournful deaths.
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights Of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
Of intOxication in a scene Of debauch
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart of Rome itself, after hav-
ing crossed the Alps and put to flight
the armies of the mistress of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last of poison administered by his
own hands in a foreign land, unla-
mented and unwept.
Caesar. the conqueror Of 500 cities
and his temples with chaplets dipped
in the blood of a million Of his foes,
was miserably assassinated by those he
considered his nearest friends
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperOrs obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely banishment upon a bar
rem rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con-
sidered representatives Of all whom the
world calls great and such their end
intoxication or poison, suicide, murder
ed by friends, lonely exile.

A LOADED WoMAN-An elderly pa
tient in the Tennessee mountain region
was suffering from malady the rem
edy for which the doctor prescribed in
the form of capsules. The old woman
trusted her medical adviser, but for the
medicine she evinced much suspicion.
Some time after she had taken the
capsules she was asked by her son
how she felt.
"Porely."
Don't you want nuthin' to eat?"
NO"
Soon, however, the old woman arose
from her bed and took her seat in a
rocking chair. Thinking that the at
tention would be gratefully received, the
son filled her pipe and taking live
coal from the hearth carried both to
his mother.
Take that away, SOM" yelled the old
woman in the utmost fright. Don't
you know better'n to come near me
when I've got them cartridges in mel"

WHAT THE CAT HAD.-The teacher
Of the Sunday school class was telling
the little boys about temptation
and showing how it sometimes came
in the most attractive form. She used
as an Illustration the paw Of cat.
Now" said she. you have all seen
the paw of cat. 1t is as soft as vel
vet, isn't it?"
"Yessum," from the class.
"And you have seen the paw of
dog?"
"Yessum."
well, although the cats paw seems
like velvet, there is nevertheless con-
cealed in it something that hurts. What
is it?"
No answer.
"The dog bites" said the teacher
when he is in anger. But what does
the cat do?"
Scratches" said a boy.
Correct" said the teacher, nodding
her head approvingly. Now, what
has the cat got that the dog hasn't?"
"Whiskers!" said boy on the back
seat-Home Magazine.

UNLAWFUL TO KILL QUAIL.
Protection Of Game Becoming More
Thorouqh.

nOTOu9ns
From this season of the year until
later in the fall, when according to the
laws of South Carolina, it is lawful to
shoot quail, the game wardens of the
county should keep a close watch, that
those disposed to shoot birds before the
season opens may be prevented from
violating the law, and made to pay the
penalty in case they do. 1t is unlaw-
full to kill partridges in this county be-
fore November 18th, and the law should
be strictly enforced. Commenting up
IN the protection and preservation Of
the game of South Carolina The State
says:
The recent conviction in Newberry
of a man who was caught shooting
cartridges out Of season is surely a
decided step for the Audubon society.
1t is so seldom, or has been so seldom,
up to the last year or two, that man
was arrested for shooting birds out Of
season, or for killing so or 80 in one
day, that naturally public curiosity is
even now aroused when a conviction
occurs.
In this particular instance, the fine
imposed was very small, but as the
details in the case have not yet been
published, no criticism Of the magis-
trate before whom the case was tried
is intended Following this case, 9TH
t. cfo al
bull bat shooting which up to this time
has been considered the primest sport.
Hundreds of Carolinians will probably
be electrified when the first conviction
is brought about for shooting bull bats.
The Audubon society is doing good
work and will do better when given
more intelligent legislation.
In Wisconsin, a commonwealth where
the game laws are supposed to be al
most ideal, the penalty for killing birds
out of season is from so to $50 with
an alternative of ten to sixty days in
jail. or both if the magistrate so de-
cides. In all of these penalties it is
optional with the trial judge whether
the prisoner goes to jail in addition to
paying his fine.
Not more than twenty-five part
ridges must be killed in one day, on
pain of three months in Jail. These
restrictions are made with an open
season lasting only about three months,
while South Cardinals is five months
long
Whenever the community realizes
that the fish and game must be pro-
tected and that some ideal of sports
manship must be considered, the pub
lie mind will improve. Reforms such
as these. while primarily intended to
further a definite end, at the same time
improve citizenship generally.-Spar-

THE WARD HELLER.
He Is Beginning to Figure All Over
the State,

He Is Beginning to Figure All Over
the State.
One of the commonest sights in
city election is the ward heeler'-the
man who makes it his business to car
ry his ward for his party or his fa-
vorite.
Newberry is not large enough to have
seen a great deal Of the genuine ward
heeler, and yet it is getting large
enough to have his imitator or emula-
tor on a small scale. The recent cam
paign developed him considerably, and
afforded a good many people new and
somewhat amusing sight.
The ward heeler is generally wide
awake and aggressive citizen-at least
he tries to look so-with a good deal
of bumptiousness and self assertion in
his makeup. He appears to be on the
grand rush all the time, going from
one place to another at a rapid rate
and with a very intent look on his
face, as if he had some very important
matters to look after, which did not
admit of a moments delay-matters to
which 1t was imperative that he give
his immediate and personal attention.
He rushes hither and thither in hack,
with one foot protruding from the side,
ready to spring out instantly as soon
as he reaches headquarters; there he
rushes in with an air Of profound mys-
terry and importance, as much as to
say to the admiring lockers on: Look
at me. I'm carrying votes by the hum
dreds and the thousands. I'm man
of much consequence in this communl-
ty." He rushes into headquarters,
where presumably he makes his report
Of the great things he is doing, proba-
bly takes a "bracer," lights a fresh ci-
gar-the ward heeler is great on cigars
and would not for any consideration
start out to capture votes without one
in his mouth and a lot more in his
pocket. If his cigars should give out and
he could not get another the ward
heeler-well, there is no telling what
would happen. After his report and
his bracer and his new supply of ci-
gars. he rushes to the hack, gives the
driver hasty orders and jumps In as
the vehicle starts madly off.
Where he goes and what he does
the Lord only knows; but he certainly
goes somewhere and does something
wonderful, for his air of consequence
shows that without doubt, as he looks
with contempt and pity on the poor un-
influential mortals who are basely
working in the stores and offices and
factories on the eve of the great i'm
pending struggle as If they did not
know that an election, with tremendous
issues involved, and in which he him
self is playing a prominent and con-
spicuous part, was close at hand.
This sort of thing goes on for days
before the election-only more and
more so as the eventful day draws
nearer-and on election day the ward
heeler is the most conspicuous and the
busiest man in all the city.
The funny part Of it all is that when
the votes are counted the work Of the
ward heeler often makes very little
show; and one wonders if the hacks
and the bracers and the cigars and the
rush and hurry and the grand air Of
importance all went for so little.-New-
berry Observer.

COnkling and Blaine terminated in the
latter's defeat for the presidency in
1884. In the meantime Conkling had
been forced from public life, and he
did not lift his voice against his old
antagonist. He merely declined to
in criminal practice" When election
day came, however, it was found that
Blaine had lost enough votes in Conk-
lings native county of Oneida to lose
him the electoral vote of New York
and the long coveted presidential chair.
Charles Summers quarrel with Grant
did not cost the general his reelection,
but it contributed materially toward
the development of the liberal Republi-
can bolt in 1872 and the campaign Of
Greeley, nothing in all Grants career so
disturbed his equanimity as the hos
tility toward him on the part of the
Massachusetts senator. The very day
after the rejection Of the presidents
pet project for the annexation of Santo
Domingo under Summers leadership,
the latter's friend, John Lathrop Mot
American minister in London, and
Senator Hoar has described Grant as
shaking his fist at the mute, unoffend-
ing walls of the house in which the
drove Sumner from the Republican
party, brought upon him again his old
heart trouble. and hastened his death.
Van Buren's factious revolt from the
Democratic party, when it failed to
nominate him for a third time, was so
destructive to party success that his
followers were called barn burners"
and likened to the tabled farmer who
burned his barn to rid it of rats.
Another noted schism with farreach-
ing influences was that which divided
Jackson and Calhoun. Arising over a
personal incident, it played itE part in
the notification plan which brought
South Carolina on the verge Of seces-
sion in the thirties, and cutting off CAL
noun from the hope of the presidency,
restricted his career to his state and did
much to inspire and confirm his ex
treme dogma Of states rights.
The acrimony between Hamilton and
John Adams was involved in the
downfall Of the Federal party. 1t dis
rupted Adams cabinet and deprived
his administration Of the Indispensable
support of the great Federalist-Boston

Judge McMaster listened to the
mans story-he was the plaintiff and
had charged his wife with cruel and
inhuman treatment. He was a small
man. and his wife-well, there were at
least apparent grounds for the charge.
After the plaintiff had finished his tes-

a question.
