Just An Accident.-Representative
Padgett, of Tennessee, was the ranking
Democrat on the naval committee of
the house of representatives, and sue
ceeded Representative Foss, Of Illinois,
a Republican, as chairman Of the COM
mittee when the emocrats got control
of the house.
Foss and Padgett were guests of
honor at a dinner of the naval militia
in Washington. Foss spoke first and
joshed Padgett. Foss said he hated to
give up the very comfortable naval
committee room, but so long as by a
political accident the Democrats had a
majority, thert was no member Of the
committee he would prefer to give 1t
to than Padgett.
Padgett came next. He said: 'The
remarks of my esteemed colleague, Mr..
Foss, bring to my mind story heard
about a lynching down south. A mob
took a negro from jail and proceeded
with him to the public square where it
was proposed to hang him.
Before the lynching, several Of the
leading citizens Of the town made
speeches, commenting on the horrible
crime of the negro and the punishment
that was to be meted out to him. Then
they called on an old and much re-
spected negro resident to say few
words This old man got up, and ad-
dressing himself to the people Of his
race, said: I want all you colored peo-
pie to take good heed and learn the
lesson Of the accident that is about
to happen here."-Saturday Evening

THE MAELSTROM.
Tides and Wind Cause the Whirl and

Tides and Wind Cause the Whirl and
the Hole in the Sea.
What of the maelstrom that is be-
tween two of the Loffoden islands, off
the coast of Norway? Where the water
sinks there must be a subterranean
passage or an outlet farther north"
writes a correspondent.
In answer we reply that there is no
opening in the oceans floor. The whirl-
ing motion is caused by tides and
winds. The water rushes in channels
between the islands, whose confgura-
tion aids in twisting. The current runs
during six hours from north to south
and then six hours from south to north.
rocks set up the whirling motion.
Suction through a hole in the bottom
of the sea" does not exist. Winds in
from the ocean when in the right di-
water which. in the center Of the whirl,
is about twenty fathoms in depth, but
just west of the straits the sOundings
show depths of from 100 to 200 fathoms.
Many modern ships in the absence
of winds, have traversed the troubled
wastes, but they keep away when the
wind is blowing against the changeable
currents, especially at high tide, when
the danger is very great. Many fables
regarding the maelstrom have been
handed down from ancient times, from
medieval also, and moderns still invent
them. OF course ships have been
wrecked there as elsewhere.-New

Aamuroas department.

He Wanted to Know-There is a fine
old family living up in New York state
that has plenty of servants, but has
never had a butler, deeming such an
appurtenance a frivolity. A time ago
the son married a high-born Massa-
chusetts young lady and the couple
came home to visit the groom's par
ents.
The older sister, having ideas of her
own about what the bride might expect
decided to hire a butler for the occasion
and went to the city to find one. She
asked the caterer who usually sent up
the ice cream and such things when
they had a party If he could furnish
one, and the carterer said he could. He
called in a clean-cut, fine-looking man
of about fifty and told him to do what
the lady wanted.
What will my duties be?" asked the
man.
"Oh, nothing much but to stand
around and butler, and, mostly, give an
imitation of an old family retainer who
has been with us for twenty years
That's what I want most. I want you
to make them think you have been our
butler for quarter Of a century" The
bride and groom came. There was
big dinner in their honor. The guests
remarked the butler, calm, important,
handsome and dignified.
"Old family retainer" lied the sister
glibly. Been with us many years.
Couldn't keep house without him. 1
think it Is lovely to have these old fam
lily servants. Now James, there, is
perfect butler. He has been with us
since I was born. Knows all about us
and all our ways perfectly. I consider
James the finest example Of an old
family retainer"
Il beg pardon, miss, said James,
coming up and breaking in on the con-
versation, but will you kindly tell me
where the refrigerator is?"-Saturday

Morton and MethuseIah-George B.
Sloan was seconding the nomination OF

statesman for governor.
The bosses had decreed the nomina-

deal Of protest because Morton was
even then, so old man. However, the
bosses had their way, and Sloan was
sent up to make a seconding speech.

and nineteen years ago"

Customs in India.-Have you ever
heard what some of the Indian people
do when their hair gets gray? OF
course you will think that they dye 1t.
That is what they do, but some Of
them dye it an odd color. They put
something on 1t that makes it look red,
and a peculiar shade Of red for the
hair. The first time I noticed one Of
them with dyed hair l thought he had
been wearing something red on his head
and it had faded on his hair. Our cook
must be more skillful in putting on dye
than many of the others, because he
dyed his hair and only a slight tinge
of red could be seen. He dyed 1t just
after we came to Simla. suppose he
thought that since we had come to the
summer capital, he would get into So
ciety. Another custom Of the Indian
people that do not think any one has
written about, Is chewing the betel
leaf. When we were in Calcutta and
had seen a good many Indian people, /
noticed some of them looked strange.
Their mouths looked so red, and did
not seem to be bleeding. I asked DR..
Simpson what was the matter with
their mouths She told me that they
had been chewing betel leaves. One
night after arrived in Montgomery
some women came to call on Miss AL
exander. They were chewing these
leaves while they were there.
You have often heard that the wo-
men in the east are not treated as
EQUALS by the men. They ever show
some of that spirit in the language.
When they are talking about "Sa-
hib" (gentleman,) they always use the
plural verb, but they rarely use the
plural verb when speaking Of lady. /
suppose, in their opinion, a gentleman
is equal to several ladies. When I try
to make sentences, sometimes I use the
singular verb when speaking Of "Sa-
hib." My teacher never fails to correct
me. We have been brought up to think
that ladies are altogether as important
as men, so I think it Is a little hard for
us to remember to give the proper hon
or to the gentlemen when we are
speaking Of them.-Miss Mary LESLIE,

NO CLEAN POLITICS.
Should be Two Parties in Name as
Well as in Fact.

The political conditions in this state
have become so thoroughly out of tune
We have reached the conclusion 1t will
be hard to bring about a change for
the better until there is a demand for
two distinct white parties. Just so
long as we are to have our political af-
fairs entrusted into the management of
one party, just so long will there be oc
casions for distrust' and bitterness.
II South Carolina had an opposition
white party, we are satisfied there
would not be the intense feeling that
exists today, and besides, the affairs Of
the government would be administered
more carefully. whichever party was
in control would keep it's eye upon the
opposition, and keep 1t from having
material to operate upon. We are GER
tain If there were two parties in the
state there would not be 80 many dis
agreeable episodes upon the hustings
as there are today.
The purpose of the county to county
canvass wos to educate the masses upon
the public affairs, to teach, and to as
certain the public needs, but in this
day and time the canvass has been
converted into a mud-slinging contest
Of no benefit to the masses, on the con-
trary it is demoralizing and disgusting.
There has not been anything of an
educational value offered in this cam
paign that we have been able to see,
nor do We believe there has been a sin
gle vote changed by the candidates;
those who had their favorites have them
still, those who believe the charges Of
corruption believe them still, and those
still, those who believed the charges Of
likewise of the same view, therefore
we say, the county to county canvass
in our opinion, has done no good, but
1t has brought on a condition which
will remain a source of annoyance un-
til it is all over, which we wish was
now.
The present campaign has made
heretofore friends fall out; foolish
though it be. it is fact, that men who
have been the warmest of friends for
years on account Of the present politi-
cal conditions are now enemies; per-
haps for life. A moments reflection
should convince any one how foolish
this is, and how unappreciated 1t is by
those they gave up this friendship for.
We would urge any man who has fall
en- out with another on account of pol
itics to go to that man and say to him:
"the game Is not worth the candle"
and shake hands.-Manning Times.

The Soft Answer.-Thsre was an old
darky who drove the solitary hack in a
small town on the Virginia shore
where the late Senator Daniel had
spent the season. In good weather the
senator, who was lame, was its only
patron, but in storm the old vehicle was
so popular that he had narrowly miss
ed several engagements owing to the
old mans taking more orders than one
antiquated chariot could possibly fill.
One stormy night the senator said:
Now, Jordan, be here tomorrow morn
ing in time to take me to the 10 o'clock
boat without fail. have an impor-
tant engagement in Washington.
Jordan drove away, promising to
show up in good season. But next
morning a quarter to 10 came and no
Jordan. Finally, at five minutes to 10,
he drove up, and the senator climbed in
and started on a mad race to the
wharf, arriving there just in time to
see the boat pulling out

Daniel, Il said we'd miss it,"

we ever steal from the editor Of the

his life, and We'll bet him a gallon OF
good sorghum molasses against his

der press and box Of shoe-pegs, that
he don't know what a palladium is.
