Columbia special in the Char

on record against compulsory ed.

bill on the subject by Mr.. Aull,
o.. .Newberry, by a vote Of 81 to
3s. The.bill required .parents

The House got back on tho SUBJ
Ject of fire insurance to-day

measures. One by Mr.. Aver.

After killing tn House bill

The Senate had lively tussle

Although it is now impossible on

Recent Trip to South
Georgia
Ed. Tho News: Well, as our
brothers-in-law came from South
ern Georgia to visit friends and
relatives in Lancaster and tho
Tabernacle, section / decided to
return home with them, 10 visit
4 sisters and 8 unclou in South.
ern Ga so on the 6 of January,
about 4 O'Clock, We rolled out
Tor Chester, and had to stay in
Chester until after 10 that night,
when we boarded the Southern
for Savannah, Ga. 1t was a dark
stormy night, with the wind
whistling by and the rain pour
ing down. We travelled on,
with the roar cf the cars to lis-
ten to and the pattering of the
rain on the windows to watch,
and some times it would seem
that every body on the train was
asleep, conductors and all. AS
the night wore away and the
morning dawned the wind ceas-
ed to blow, the clouds rolled by
and left US with q beautiful |
morning TO arrive in Savannah,
that being our first stopping
place. We landed safe and
sound. As we walked into the
depot, which is the largest and
most beautiful one we evers saw,
tn ere In the midst of the depot
was tank full of water, clear
as crystal, and full of alligators
and beautiful fish, for weary pss
sing travellers to look upon. AS
we missed our train 10 minutes
we could not leave Savannah for
Bellville, Ca, until 5 in the af-
ternoon. So we went down to
the wharf, where We saw large
steamboats,, both freight and
passenger, and large fats loaded
with cotton coming into the har-
Dor. We arrived in Bellville
the following night, too tired to
talk or eat. We only had short
time to stay so we hustled around
over good portion of the coun.
try, with its beautiful sand and
green woods and very beautiful
long moss dangling thick from
the trees. Did not see any mud
dy water out there at all. Look
ed strange to see even rivers and
swollen streams with their waters
clear. We went for stroll
down on the banks of river.
We drank water from one side
of the stream,sswhich in is Tatnal
county; crossed over the stream
and drank water from the other
side, which is in Bullock county.
We looked upon thickets of
Magnolia, which we all know is
a beautiful flower.
We had pleasant time out
there in that beautiful country,
but were glad when it was time
to start home, as we intended to
stop in Columbia to visit rela-
tives. We arrived there after
night; hardly knew our nephew,
who was to meet us, nor did he

1t is Bryan, of course. Despite an
active and aggressive minority it was
evident long ago that Bryan not only
had the votes but had absolute control
of the convention in all it's details, and
could, and did, dictate the nominee for
vice president and the platform. Only
one ballot was made, the vote standing:

sent or not voting, S-total, 1,006. When
it came to a candidate for the second
place the convention was all at sea. An
eastern man of conservative views was
sought, but in vain. No one of stand
ing would accept the place, and the
convention had to fall back on John
W. Kern of Indiana, who wanted the
place and had wanted it in at least two
Democratic national conventions be-
fore. The Denver representative of the
Boston Transcript said of Kern before
his nomination: "The chief objection to
him is that he is VIGOROUSLY under
size but this is not regarded as fun
damental disqualification. He has many
affirmation elements of availability from
a Bryan view point; twice the Demo
cratic candidate for governor OF lndl-
ana he has been defeated by over
whelming majorities, record which
offers certain affinity with that of the
head of the ticket"

In the letter from E. E. Stephenson
of Sioux City, Iowa, he speaks of his
impression that Havana was very
dirty city and his surprise at finding
it so clean. Until American occupancy
it was one of the dirtiest cities in the
world, and New Orleans was not much
better until it was cleaned up during
Gen. B. F. Buffers command there.
AS to the narrow streets of Havana,
where you could only drive one team
along at time, you were only allowed
to drive one way in these streets under
Spanish rule-up certain streets and
down other streets.

prohibition, refusing even to resubmit
the question to the people, the candi-

rain had fallen in seven weeks; forest
fires were raging, north, south, east and

from one-third to one-half, all grow

Hon. w. R. Pattangall of Washington
county and the Waterville Sentinel is a

Hon. w. r. Pattangall of Washington
county and the Waterville Sentinel is
dangerous man to be at large. He has
at complete command an extensive vo-
cabulary of the English language which
he turns loose at will in a torrent of
clean cut sentences, and he can easily
convince the average nearer that black
is white or vice versa-and it don't mat
ter to him which. In his speech before
the Democratic county convention in
this city last week he seized upon one
of the planks of the Maine Republican
platform and declared it to be uncon-
stitutional and about everything else
that was bad, and spoke for fully
half an hour on this one plank, which
is as follows:
We favor constitutional amendment
empowering the Governor. upon notice
and hearing, to remove any executive
officer who persistently fails to perform
his legal duties and to fill the vacancy
from the same political party to which
said executive officer belongs.
The laws of the State are made by
the people of the State through their
accredited representatives in the legis-
lature; and when laws are enacted it is
only reasonable to suppose that they
are intended to be operative. The con-
stitution of Maine makes it the duty of
the Governor, in whom the supreme
executive power is vested. to see that
the laws are executed. If any officials,
however chosen, in violation of their
oaths of office persist in multiplying the
laws of the State, enacted by the repre-
sentatives of the people, there should
be some way of reaching them-of re-
moving them from office, if necessary.
Party interests are guarded, as it is
provided that if the delinquent official
is Democrat-which he is very likely
to be-his successor will be a Democrat.
Mr. Pattangall said he was in favor OF
enforcing all the laws on the statute
books. Every Democrat says Soft he
is not in office. But the Democratic
executive officer who performs his legal
duties in enforcing the prohibitory law
is as rare as a white blackbird

From remarks made by the mayor at
the Democratic county convention it
would appear that the celebration on
the Fourth was, as had been supposed,
a Democratic demonstration. Repub-
lican business men were not asked to
contribute or take part in the process
sion, and the advertising agent, who
has long had free access to the columns
of The Journal in promoting local af-
fairs, in this instance ignored the paper
entirely. We naturally inferred that
this demonstration, gotten up after the
business men of the place had agreed
to close on the 4th and citizens general
ly had made their arrangements for the
day, was intended for, as it proved to
be, a somewhat exclusive affair.
