Some interesting comparisons
are to be noted in the contribu-
tions by counties to the fund
being raised for the erection of
the monument to the women of
the Confederacy. as daily pub
lished in the Columbia State.
Charleston, the wealthiest coun-
ty in the State. with people
noted for their culture, valor and
chivalry, has only given the pitt
full sum of SIC, while Richland,
IN which Columbia is located,
a city very much smaller than
the city by the sea-, heads the
list with the munificent sum of
1851. so. Charleston's seeming
indifference to this most praise
worthy movement is ineXplicable.
Marlboro stands next to Rich
land, it's donation being S533. 90.
Lancaster occupies 10th place in
the column, which is remarkably
good, considering that it is one
the smallest counties in the
State. The counties ahead of
Lancaster are Richland, Marl-
boro, Anderson. Sumter Marion.
Aiken, Spartanburg. York and
Darlington, in the order named,
all larger and weather. than
Lancaster. AS many as Is coun-
ties have contributed less than
500 each, 10 less than $50, and
3 less than $50. Beaufort stands
at the bottom with the measly
sum of $13, and Berkeley next to
it with with just 50 cents more.
Referring again to Lancaster, it
is worthy of note that it's contri-
button -$268. .S5 is larger than
that of any neighboring county
except York, Chester's being

Advice to a Bachelor Editor.

Our friend, Editor Connors, of
the Lancaster News, has been
calling our attention lately to the
various editors marrying and
holds out some such hope for us.
The list is interesting and since
some of them have succeeded we
have again taken heart ar 'e
some hopes of following i ir
footsteps if, after fiftc =
twenty more years in the busi-
ness, we can become as adept in
twisting the truth and hood
winking the fair sex as they
have been. The following notices
along this line appeared recently
in the Lancaster News:
Another editor has wisely
joined the ranks of the benedicts.
On last Wednesday evening Mr..
Roland f. Beasley, the bright
editor of the Monroe Journal,
was married to Mrs. Isabelle
Fitzwater, of Monroe. There's s
still a fighting chance for Bach
eIor Caldwell, of the Chester
Lantern.
An Alabama man has at last
succeeded in getting married af-
ter having proposed to two hun
dred women. His experience
ought to afford some encourage
ment to the bachelor who grace
fully holds down the Chester
Lanterns editorial soap box"
But even though we are so
sadly behind in this matter we
understand that another bachelor
editor not far away will soon
join the ranks of the benedicts.
And we are interested in seeing
how our advice to this SelfSame
editor will work before trying a
plunge ourselves. Chester Lam
tern.
But why await the result of
that other bachelor editors mat
rimonial venture? His orange
blossom experience may, for one
reason or another, prove bloom
ing failure. Remembering that
faint heart never won fair
lady," plunge right in yourself
and make the best of it. You II
never develop half the good that S
in you until you have two months
to feed instead of one. But we
wouldn't advise you to pay any
attention to the advertisement of
that Chicago woman who is offer
ing $50 for husband. 1t
would take more than that sum
to keep her big feet covered with
leather six months. Try home
product. Chester's not in it
when it comes to raising mules,
hogs, vegetables, ETC., but her
fair and winscme daughters will
compare favorably with those of
any county in the State, except
Lancaster.

FRESHNESS" THAT MET REsukE
Young Lawyer No Match for Veteran
Jurist In Repartee.

Judge Allen was noted for his wise
decisions and the promptness with
which he delivered them. But when
delicate point of law came up, in
volving matters of the highest conse-
quence. he always reserved deci-
sions." His way of stating his posi-
ton was as follows: Gentlemen. this
Is an exceedingly serious problem: I'll
go home and shoot a few bullbats, and
meet you in court tomorrow morning
ut ten o'clock with my verdict"
One day an ambitious, but fresh,
young lawyer sought to have fun with
Judge Allen. When the customary
statement was made by his honor this
budding Choate remarked: Did the
court ever shoot bullbats on my mead
ows? I believe l have the finest
meadows and bats in the whole coun-
try. 1t is your ;,honor's privilege
to shoot there whenever. you feel like

have to pull the trigger at all; you can
knock 'em down" with the muzzle Of
your gun" The venerable jurist
chewed a little harder on his cud,
