love to sit and watch the smoke rising
from that tall chimney, rolling some
times straight up, or blowing this way
or blowing that. This smoke plume is
our weathervane. But smoke has many
significances.
See the smoke flying fiercely back
from the stacks Of an ocean steamer
sign of tremendous energy and con-
quering power.
See in some peaceful countryside ir
the still air Of early morning smoke
curling upward from the stout chimney
Of the farmers home, betokening a
stirring within and breakfast soon.
See the smoke that rises from the
campers fire-freedom and good cheer
See the smoke Of burning incense In
the churches-devotion.
1.-The smoke of the myriad chimneys
of the town-activity, endeavor, push
ing enterprise and the rich and the
poor.
Smoke Is the universal outward sign
of man; the world around it signifies
everything that human life, savage OF
civilized, implies. This, no doubt, is
the reason why I like the sight OF
smoke; but 1 should be glad if some
body could make it palmer for me, for
my better, keener understanding"

There was fought in Tennessee not
long ago a duel between women.
They met after church service, setting
upon each other with knives. Friends
attempted to part them. With level

had quarreled ordered that the fight
be to a finish. Soon one Of the wom-
en- lay dead and the other was badly
wounded.
At Edinburgh two Italians met at
midnight to settle dispute. Having but
one pistol, they drew lots to see which
one should shoot first. The winner
fired and missed, and politely handed
over the pistol to his adversary. The
second shot likewise proving abortive,
the bloodthirsty combatants fell upon
each others necks, then quit the field
arm in arm.
First shot was decided by lot also in

Senator Replies to Letter from Editor
of oranseburs Times
The following letter from Senator
B. r. Tillman to Editor J. L. Sims
editor of the Orangeburg Times-Dem-
ocrat was given out from Columbia
Wednesday,:
Hon. James l. Sims. Orangeburg
S. c.,
Dear Mr.. Sims: have your letter
of July 29th, for which please ac-
cept my thanks.
II have been surprised that Judge
Jones has allowed Governor Blease
to put him on the defensive and made
him explain something that needed
in the state believes that Judge Jones
is in favor of social equality, and
Gov. Blease has laughed in his sleeves
to see how shrewdly he has muddled
the water. In other words, he has
played politics more adroitly than the
judge.
IN reply to your question: AS you
were the head Of the reform move
ment and were governor when Judge
Jones voted against the separate cal
act we would like for you to say
whether you consider Judge Jones an
advocate of social equality because he
voted against the law, and whether In
your judgment he would make good
governor Of the state answer:
"I do not consider that Judge Jones
was an advocate of social equality
because he voted against that law and
I believe he would make good gov
ernor, for he is eminently qualified.
'I say this more willingly because
it cannot be constructed as my TAX
ing sides as between the men. I an
nounced last fall that I would not do
this and thus far l have seen no rea-
son why should change my attitude,
"If the newspapers keep on pub
fishing such stuff as Grace's attack
on the governor and the dictagraph
"slush" they will certainly make
Blease governor again.
yours sincerely,
"B. r. Tillman."

the western cowboy. And II, dining
with a certain king in Somaliiand, /

monkey meat and meal that he molds
with his fingers at table and thrusts
into my mouth, am committing a

Marrying Her Debts.

temptation Of law the husband and
wife were one. and the husband was
that one. Then If the bride owed any
debts before marriage they devolved
on the newly married husband, and be

extraordinary farces being enacted.
Women who were overloaded with
debts actually got rid Of them by mar.

for debt. These men did not mind
whether they were liable for hundreds
or thousands. and the wife" usually
paid the husband" a few pounds for

curing fresh debts. The law which

Baseball is Business.

Professional baseball is a business
and millions Of dollars are invested
In 1t by business men. They make
fortunes out Of It. but they pay their
players higher salaries than 900 out Of
every 1000 Of them could earn at any
other line Of work during a similar
number of months each year. From a
baseball player nothing is required but
that he be able to play a good game
and keep in condition. Many stars In
the old days were able to do little
more than sign their names and read
big print A better educated class Of
men are In the game today, but they
are getting more money for their
services than they could earn If they
followed any n Of hundreds Of diff
ferent professions. And remember
