Ihe Dream of tha Rev

Some small article had been lost-l forget now what; let us say a key-be- longing to one of two sisters who were travellng together. It could nowhere De found. But one night one of the sisters dreamed that she saw the key In the pocket of her travelling bag. She told this dream on waking to the other. And have you looked in the pocket T' the sister asked. No, I have not" said she, "for the very good reason that there is no pocket in my travel ing bag" Well" said the other. there is pocket in mine l will just have look there on the chance" And there the key was found. The infer. ence Is that the dreamer had seen with the eye of sense, though not with she eye of observation, the key put Into the pocket. Even when the key was so found she had no recollection of seeing 1t placed there, but the brain had unconsciously recorded the sensa- ton. In course of sleep 1t had stum- bled on that record, and by good luck the sleeper on awaking chanced to re member the mental operation that had taken place during sleep. It is sin gular and almost alarming reflection that our brains are stored with count less such records of which we know nothing nor ever shall know unless tho association of ideas or some peculiar mental state brings them to our no dcp p-WeSf n}nafor CazoffA

Don'ts.

Don't attempt to punish all your enc mics at once. You can't do large business with a small capital Don't say II told you so." Two to one you never said a word about 1t. Don't worry about another mans business. A little selfishness Is sometimes com mendable. Don't imagine that you can correct all the evils in the world
 A grain of sand is not prominent in a desert. Don't mourn over fancied grievances. Bide your time, and real sorrow will come. Don't throw dust in your teachers eyes. It will only in- jure the pupil. Don't worry about the ice crop. Keep cool and you will have enough. Don't borrow a coach to please your wife. Better make her a little sulky. Don't imagine that every thing is weakening. Butter is strong in this market Don't publish your acts of charity. The Lord will keep the account straight. Don't color meerschaums for living. It is sim ply dyeing by inches.-Mark Twain.

Why the Judge Paid.

physician. says a medical Journal that vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of a family that lived in two looms in the heart of q large American ctty-not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubt ful prognosis was given she broke into wailing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from the force" and such evil ways should be senounced forever
 Curious to know how the magistra te could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally SC cured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis. tered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the magis trate paid the physician's bill.

A Dangerous Subject.

Professor Henry Drummond when . boy discovered that he could hypnotize people. At birthday party little girl declined to play the piano. Drum. mond happened to catch her eye and said, Play" To his surprise she rose at once, went to the plano and played At another time he hypnotized a, boy and gave him poker for a gun "Now," said Drummcnd, "1'm a pheas ant. Shoot me-" The boy did so, and Drummond fell to keep up the illusion whereupon the boy, seeing the "bird' move, was about to hit 1t over the head with the poker. The hypnotizer had just time to stop the maguetized sports man.-Pearson's Weekly.

THE STATES FINANCES.

Governor Ansel renews his recon-
mendation that means be provided by
which the state may be put on a cash
basis. This has been his desire since
he has been in Office; the legislature
has failed to act upon his suggestion.
They will scarcely do 80 at this term,
for the cosling fall is election time
and members OF the general assembly
really do not like to go before their
constituents, upon whom they have
voted another tax. That's human.
And then 1t is pointed out that such
a business concern as the state should
not be on cash basis. Some of the
newspapers argue that the legislature

counties that voted las. August to
retain their dispensaries. 1t was a
poor effort to preserve his local op-
tion platform. The general assem-
bly, will scarcely pass any such mea-
sure
The governor himself says that the
elections in all the counties were fair

Will. Then why, at the great cost it
will entail, hold another election so
soon? If some years had elapsed and
there was proof that n change os sent
iment had been effected in these
counties, such recommendation
might have been of value and would
have carried some weight.
Governor Ansel says that the sug-
gestion was in the interest of temper
ance. While we believe that the gov
ernor is perfectly sincere in his nten-
tion and is. in addition. a consistent
prohibitionist, the carrying out of his
the cause of temperance. There seems
to be no question. at least in this part
of the state that the aboishing of
dispensaries promotes temperance;

Certainly not by the metho slg-
gestcd by the governor. for it wC.Ild

by two means: pass statewide p'o-

either of these two would have been

be followed

TO OUR DELEG NTION.

Gentlemen OF the LaurenS delega-
tion you are representing in the gen
eral assembly OF South Carolina the
interests OF the people of this county
While it will be impossible for you TO
represent the individual wishes OF
every voter it is not wholly impossi-
BILE for you to care for the interests
of the majority. The expressed wish
es OF the majority are not always the
interests of the majority: sometimes
people do not know what they want
nor what they need. Sometimes they
know but are too disinterested to ex-
press their needs or wishes. a pub
lie vote or expression is never given
on all matters. Hence, the represent
ative is not always informed by pub
lie expression as to what the needs
of his people are.
In fact, sifted down, this matter of
platforms etc. does not amount to
so much in the case OF the legislator.
Conditions arise that were unseen
at the time of his election. compro-
'iii''9 h't Oltltu' iitM lldlltIS come
up, upon which he did not express
himself in the campaign and upon
which the people did not pass. After
all, the legislator goes to the general
assembly with hands, almost. if not
entirely free; he is left to act upon
his own discretion. He is at the
same time the servant OF the people
and their leader. That condition is
not impossible it is. in reality the
true condition.
Whether or not you have been in
structed as to any particular action.
we know not; We think not There
fore. the people of Laurens have given
YOU carte blanche to do for them what
will serve them best. Do you know
what they want? Have you had your
ears to the ground? Have you stud
led conditions about you, since your
people honored you with the office you
now occupy? Did you go to Colum-
bia prepared and equipped to do some
thing for your people. or merely to
occupy your seat when you were SO
! disposed and to draw your salary?
There are some matters in this
county that need attention. Will you
give it? There are some things that
the people ought to have. Are you
going to provide means of getting
them? In other words, are you pro-
vided with the proper information and
possessed of sufficient power and
fofce to serve the people you repre-
sent? The people are waiting to see

are because the intricate workings of
a big daily and the vast number of
men employed in its making obscure
the individual. and in the second place
because the editorial writer's do not
come in direct contact with tie peo-
pie.
Very different it is in the smaller
towns. and even in cities the size Of
Charleston and Columbia In read
ing the editorial page of The State, one
so often hears the remark See what

in The News and Courier: See what
Hemphill says" This is true in even
greater degree in the little towns a
mong the county newspapers The
people of these towns come in daily
contact with the editor, know him

neighbors says he is about, are aware
OF the workings OF his paper, and so
on. Hence, when some item appears
in the county paper they say: Look

sphere. a newspaper should stand for

editorial page of the paper should be
a reflection of public opinion; it should
be that no more than it should be the

impute personal bias or spleen to an

They might benefit their condition OF

self-respecting newspaper its edi-

of the paper and not the personal
