The Walterboro Press and Stand

The Walterboro Press and Stand
ard has installed a Junior linotype.
Congratulations to Brother smoak
on his prosperity. One by one the
country weeklies are discarding the
setting of type by hand and are IN
stalling the Junior linotype where
they do not feel warranted in putting
in the standard machines, like the
one used in this Office. The junior
linotype is an automatic slug casting
machine, and for newspaper WORK
answers the purpose fully as we'll as
the high-priced machines. We long
for the day when every country news
paper will be all-home print, and
this can only be accomplished by the
setting of type by machinery.

DECLARES BRIBE OFFERED.
Sensation Sprung in Tennessee Leg.
islatiye Circles.

Nashville, April 2S.-Out of Ten
nessee's political deadlock this af-
ternoon came a development border
ing on the sensational, by the publ
cation of a dispatch from Birming-
ham declaring that a bribe fund of
$500 had been offered to Represen-
tative J. P. Mcdonald, of Morgan
county, providing he agreed to bind
himself to vote with the so-cal1ed
Irregular" Democrats on all questions
coming before the legislature. The
alleged agreement in writing, which
Mcdonald claims he holds, was made
December 13 of the last year, but
for fraternal and political reasons
he withheld the name of the alleged
bribe offerer.
In a statement to the Associated
Press, at Birmingham this afternoon,
MIR. Mcdonald, one of the "insur-
gents" who quit Tennessee to hold
up further legislation, verifies the
published statement that bribe was
offered to him providing he voted
with the Irregular" Democrats in the
legislature, who were defeated in the
late gubernatorial contest.
Mr.. E. A. Goodpasture to-day
stated: 81 have not seen the full
text of the statement as made by Mr..
Mcdonald and published in the Ten
nessean, but I understand that he
charges me with having offered
money to vote for the election laws
and manufacturers bill. If such
charge is made by him I must posi-
lively deny it. 1 did not offer him
money to vote for those or any other
bills.
"At one time he told me he would
do this, however. Later he said he
would not. I told him that thought
that it was best for the Republican
party that he should support the
regulars and that he would be
taken care of when the house was Or
ganized. But I repeat that I did not
make any money offer to influence
his vote. This is all that 1 care to
say about the matter at this time.
If necessary I will make more ex-
tensive statement when see the full
text of his charges"

The Office Devil on Markets

The Editor was busy when he was
asked: "How are the markets?'' The
man was referred to the Office devil.
who looked wise ard said Young men
unsteady; girls lively and in demard;
paps firm but declining; mammas unset
tied. waiting for higher bids; coffee.
considerably mixed. fresh fish. active
and slippery: eggs quiet. but expected
to open soon; onions. strong; yeast,
rising: breadstutfs, heavy; boots and
shoes, those on the market are sold and
constantly going up and down: hats
and caps, not SO high as last year ex-
cept foolscap. which is stationery: to-
bacco very low and has downward
tendency: silver close but not close

The Retired Farmer

But when the discontented farmer sells
his farm and moves to town, "a change
comes over the spirit of his dream.'
He may have quite generous salary.
but when he has paid his rent and paid
spot cash for every mouthfuI of provis-
ions that is brought into his house he
very soon begins to see how he has
underrated the old farm.
The chickens bought at the market,
the small bunch of new onions, the
radishes. lettuce, green peas and new
potatoes. which always he had had in
such abundance that he never counted
the cost, command quite a good deal
of respect when bought and paid for
at market prices, and the ex.farmer is
willing to take his hat off to the pounu
of beef-stake or very small box of
half-ripe Strawberries when he see the
hole they have made in his weekly SAL
ary.
Then there is the canned fruit and
the pantry stores which the house wife
puts away for winter, and the meat
and vegetables with the beginning of
the winter. If ali these had to be
bought and paid for the farmer would
find that it would take pretty fat sal
ary to purchase the very thing for
which he has neglected to give the
farm credit.
There are profits in this world be-
sides, dollars and cents, of which, too
often, we take no note. And if the
farm We're given credit for all that it
generously gives for the support of the
farmers family it would save good
many people from moving into town
to have their illusions dispelled. 1t
might also save them the additional
trouble of moving back to the old
farm wiser and poorer family

"Such a Little Queen"
Is Columbia Offering

= With Frances Nelson as Anna Vic
toria, Queen Of Herzegovina and Henry
Mortimer as Stephen ", King of Bos-
MIA, her affianced lord, the Columbia
Players will tomorrow night present a
revival Of Claiming Pollock's comedy
success, Such a Little Queen
The play was seen here a little more
than year ago with Elsie Ferguson
as the star.
The story of Such a Little Queen is
that of the Queen of Herzegovina who
has been compelled to fee from her own
country by revolution. Accompanied
by her aged prime minister, she seeks
out America as a refuge On the steam
er coming to this country she has be-
come acquainted with an young Amert-
can to whom she is attracted by his
straightforward manner and brisk cor
diality
This part, that of Robert Trainer. will
be played bv Everett ButterfieId. With
out funds and without friends she is
finally compelled to earn her own liv-
ing. Through the influence of the
young American she finally secures en-
ployment in a business office copying
letters, and doing other clerical work.
She rents a Harlem fat. where her ef-
forts at housekeeping are ludicrous in
the extreme.
She is followed later by the young
King of Bosnia, who also is exiled, to
whom she was betrothed: and the novel
idea of a king and queen working for a
living as everyday Americans fursnishes
the author with splendid opportunities
for pathos and comedy.
