ing to hear their bills were be-
ing paid by members Of the
board of control. But just what
revelancy the payment of these
bills by members of the board
has to the cases now pending
we do not see. We assume, these
legislators were working in the
interests of certain members of
the board, that is to say, helping
them to be elected, and because
of this evidence of friendship
their expenses were paid. It
does not appear that either of
the legislators mentioned had
sold liquors to the board: nor
does it appear that they acted as
:sfences'' to receive from the
LIQUOR houses the rebates for the
board. The only thing that is
revealed, is, circumstancial evl-
dence of graft.

EXCELLENT PROSPECT.

Unless there is some unlocked
for misfortune Clarendon will
have the best crops this year
than any preceding year in
many years. Everywhere the
farmers have set their crops
with a view of making them in
dependent of cotton, small grain
has been made in abundance,
there will be more corn made IN
county this year than in any two
previous years, the tobacco pros
pect is very fine; cotton looks
well and prospects are good for
a fine price. The oat crop was
immense. and this is followed
with peas. The signs are very
gratifying, and the beauty OF it
is, that the farmers were very
cautious of debt: and are making
their crops this year with a view
to being able to pay their debts
and have a cash balance to be-
gin another season.

PROMISES ARE EASY.

There is a warm controversy
now going on in Calhoun county.
It is alleged that to-iDduce the
people to vote for Calhoun conu-
ty, and make ST. Matthews the
county seat, the town of St. Matt
hews promised $4,000 for the
building of a court house and
jail, but it seems that after the
votes were secured, and the coun-
ty created with st. Matthews as
the county seat, the ante-e election
promises. or rather the glittering
bait was withdrawn and not forth
coming; the voters have discov-
cred themselves buncoed and
stung, now they are weeping aud
wailing: and gnashing their guns.

Of elimination and recrimination.
The people who were thus mis-
led, had they stopped to think
for a minute, would have reason
ed out that the promise of S20.-
900, even if carried out would not
have given to them "a suitable,
well-equipped and up-to-date
court house and jail" but $50, 900
is a large sounding sum of mon
ey, and it especially sounds big
to those who have no idea the
cost of erecting "a suitable, we'll

pie to doubt their own ability to
understand the meaning Of ques-
tions as represented to them by
those put in authority. Senator
TiIlman has preached vigorously

ure which he has denounced
comes up to be voted on, be is
found voting for it. When asked
for an explanation he proceeds

his apparent inconsistency re-
minds US of a negro preacher re-

TEACH THEM TO SHOOT.

The terrible news from George
town calls to mind a suggestion
made by The TINES many years
ago, when fendish crimes were
Of almost daily occurance. Our
suggestion at that time was that
girls shall be taught in the pub
lie schools, the use of the pistol,
and that the law against carrying
concealed weapons be amended
so as to not apply to women.
Every woman ought to know
how to handle a pistol, and be al
lowed to go armed is convincing
to US, and if ,ch was the case
there would be far less of these
horrifying crimes committed,
because Of the fact, Of the prob
ability of being armed, would de-
ter these cowardly brutes from
attempting to carry out their
fendish desires.
Take this Georgetown case, il
that unfortunate lady had been
taught the use Of a pistol and had
one in the vehicle she was driv-
ing in, the scoundrel would have
been shot down before he could
have placed his unholy hands
upon her. The craftsmanship Of
this country must do something
to insure safety to our women,
and we can not think of a better
thing at this time than to teach
them how, and provide them with
the means of self defense.

THE RURYIKG BEETLE.
Dead Mice and Birds Secreted as Food
For Its YounS

Dead Mice and Birds secreted as Food
For Its Young.
People often wonder what becomes
Of the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly one Is
eyer to be seen. The fact is that they
are buried by beetles. Buchner gives
brief account of them as follows:
Several Of them unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead AMI
nal, such as a mouse, a toad, mole,
bird, ETC. The burial is performed
because the corpse, if left above
ground, would either dry up or grow
rotten or be eaten by other animals.
In all these cases the young would
perish, whereas the dead body lying in
the earth and withdrawn from the
outer air lasts very well.
sThe burying beetles 80 to work in
very we'll considered fashion, for
they scrape away the earth lying un-,
der the body so that it sinks Of itself
deeper and deeper. When 1t is deep
enough it is covered over from above.
If the situation is stony, the beetles,
with united forces and great efforts,
drag the corpse to some place more
suitable for burying. They work so
diligently that a mouse, for instance,
is buried within three hours. But they
often work on for days, so as to bury
the body as deeply as possible. From
large carcasses, such as those Of horses,
sheep, ETC.. they only bury pieces as
large as they can manage"
There can be no doubt Of the intelli-
gence Of these strange insects, as
gentleman discovered in rather curl
Gus way. he desired to dry q dead
toad, and for that purpose lie fastened
it upon the top of an upright stick.
The burying beetles, however. were
soon attracted By the smell, and, find
ing that they could not reach the toad,
they undermined the stick, causing it
to fall with the toad, which was then
duly buried.-Our Animal Friends.

THE SENATORS DO NOT AGREE.

There seems to be difference
of opinion between our two SEN
ators in Washington, Senator
Tillman and Senator Smith sure
" hold opposite views in the
matter of duty uponiron ore. Till
man contends a duty upon iron
ore, would help the treasury, and
punish the Trust, and Smith has
given notice of his preparing a
speech showing that Tlllman is
wrong, a duty on iron ore will
neither help the treasury, nor
punish the Trust. Smith is op-
posed to a tax on raw materials
in any way shape or form, and IN
this opposition he is clinging to
the Denver platform like sailor
clinging to a spar of a sinking
ship.
There was time when Sena
tor Tillman gratifed his personal
antipathy, by having a colleague
shelved, because that colleague
would not submit to the dictates
of a gang of political nontebanks
that had gotten into the leader
ship of the Democratic party, the
trick worked like a charm then,
but Senator Tillman cannot have
his present colleague shelved to
crafty his personal dislike IN
Smith not consenting to be his
me-too. While we hold the view
that the Democratic platform was
a document of ideas, the Amerl-
can people discountenanced, and
therefore is no longer Of force,
and a senator is free to exercise
his judgment on matters of busl-
ness policy,-tarif legislation is
nothing else, yet when a senator
chooses to cling to the platform
like a heather to an idol, no one
can bring against him a charge
of party disloyalty.

over the question. Is the effort

over the question. Is the effort
at conversion worth while?
The following interview coin
cides with our view, and will be
of interest to our readers.
The New York World has interview
ed number of leading New York min
listers, including the Rev. ?. Asa Black
burn OF the Church of the Strangers
DR.. Blackburn is former Columbian
and brother to the Rev. Geo y. Black
burn, pastor Of the Second Presbyterian
church of Columbia. The World says:
"Any mission plan that calls for a
white girl for every Chinese is afro
cious," said the Rev. D. Asa Black
burn Of the Church of the Strangers.
II have always been sternly opposed to
it. When DR.. Deems was alive this
church, in common with many others,
undertook work with the Chinese, but
in the Is years of my ministry we have
had none of it. Members Of my church
who developed interest in that direction
have had to offer their services to out
side missions | think that interest has
subsidized among my parishioners.
'Yet my good people believe in the
sort of mission work of which the trag-
ic episode now in the public mind is q
natural result. 1t is quite useless to ar
que with such people that a Chinese is
no more entitled to special instruction
than is an Italian or other foreigner
who comes here ignorant Of English.
We do not give girl Instructor to
every Italian who comes among US, ard
we ought not to hold out that induce
ment to Chinese. All the same, it IS
done and will be done. a way should
be found to stop it.
'sIf The World would employ its
great facilities for gathering news to
obtaining a list of the mission girls
ruined by Chinese whom they were
teaching it would perform a service for
which all the churches would be su-
premely grateful. There have been
enough cases of that kind to fill an en-
tire page in the paper. That list would
be read everywhere as an awful object
lesson in depravitY. I believe its publi-
cation would so shock the country as to
correct the evil at which it would aim.
Nothing short of some such exposure
will stop it. The people need to be hor-
rifed. shall be in sympathy with any
measure, however shocking, to save our
young women from a continuance OF
this infamy, and with what feeble force
l have I will speak for 1t.
