THE EXTRA SESSION.

The Charleston Gazette. the organ
of the MacCorkle- Chiffon combine,
has the following:
II certainly looks to a man up the tree
that Governor GlRsscock Is guessing bad
~ when he thinks that he can compel a
democratic legislature TO pass a Repuo-
liean planned primary election law. lie
what will the result be? The old adage
about the horse and the water is very APP
plloable.
Although The Intelligencer does not
endorse the sentiment in which the
above is written. IL feels that It very
correctly describes the situation. Gov
ernor Glasscock may call the legisla.
ture in extra session, but he cannot
compel IL to act, and II is very doubt
full If the Democratic pasisans who
are directly interested In preventing
the passage Of any primary election
law, will allow the passage OF such
legislation as the people desire. Mel

submit his senatorial candidacy 10 the
people as whole. II Is not hard to
guess what would have been the fate
OF the Watson-Chilton combine IL they
had had to go before the people of the
State last fall. II is easy to predict
what will happen to them when they
do have to go before the people Of
the State. For very obvious reasons
the full strength of the Democratic
Senatorial combination Will be exerted
to prevent the passage OF any ade-
quate primary legislation Under
these circumstances and for these rea-
sons The Intelligencer is inclined to
doubt the wisdom OF call for an ex-
ira session at this time.

WOULD 1--WE CAUGHT IRAN
II There Was Scne Law About Clocks
In Public Places Running
Correctly.

at seems to me-" said a man who
has Just missed his train, "that there
ought TO be some law about clocks in
public places. The man who sets
up such a clock, which he does pri-
marily for his own benefit, really
takes upon himself at the same time
a duty that he owes to the public /;
it is his plain duty to keep the clock
right. If I could have my way
about it l would let no man set up
a clock in a public place without
first getting permission from the
public authorities, and | would re-
quire as a condition Of this permits
sion that the clocks owner should
give a guarantee, with a heavy for
fixture attached, that he would keep
the clock running correctly. Then
| would have public inspectors who
should regularly inspect these clocks
and see that they were kept SO run
ming. In case of failure l would
have the penalty rigidly enforced.
This seems 50 simple that l wonder
we haven't had such a law long ago.
If we had one now l wouldn't have
missed my train"

SPRINGS FROM FOUNTAIN.

One of the natural marvels Of
France has recently been made gen
orally known. It is the fountain, or
source, Of the Coulomp, a small river
in the department of the Basses-
Alpes. Out of a mighty limestone
wall about 1900 feet high springs
a fountain Of water, yielding even
IN the dryest times about 800 gal
Ions a second, and forming a full
born river, which begins its career
with a series of leaps aggregating
100 feet Of descent. It is thought
that the water must pass under the
mountain by s~ubterranean channels
at least a mile in length.
