and the teanster seemed to know that his horse was quite wei. able to take
care OF himself s @
strapped to the back of the cart was a small bale OF hay. Every horse.
that passed the wagon shifted eagerly at it.
"Whsnever the wagon stopped some nag would poke his head forward and
grab a mouthful Of the hay. A thrifty fruit peddler with q very thin steed
fell into line, and his horse had what was likely the best meal or weeks.
"The teamster with the hay stopped at several shops along the way, and
then the horses waiting behind his cart had a glorious feast
"The big bay at the head OF the cart seemed to have found out what was
happening to his hay, for he would turn ais head every o men as u

(By Miss Beatrice Sparerib, the world
famous forelornist.)
Dear Miss Sparerib:-Charlie didn't
call me up as usual yesterday and /
am desolated. 1t seems an age since
l have saw him. Oh, crewl fate, can
it be that he has growed cold! It's a
pipe something has went wrong.

they have performed a surgical opera
ton on him and removed his telephone
for noppayment of rent.
Dear Miss Sparerib:-The postage
stamp on the last letter l got from
Gloriana vas stuck on cornerwise and
upside down. What does that mean
in postage stamp language? Percy.
Ans.-It means that she stuck it on
in the dark while she was hurrying to
post it on a street car. Cheer up,
Percy. She will land you yet.
Dear Miss Sparerib:--My wife ex-
poets me to go out and rob a hen

SAVING LIVES AT SEA.

The Pioneer Press comments al fol-
lows on the new bill of Senator Nc
Cumber Of this state:
A united effort is being made by the
authorities of the coast cities Of the
east to secure the immediate enact
ment OF the Dill introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator McCumber and dupli-
Gated in the house, providing for the
protection of passengers on ocean ves-
sells. 1t is conceded that considerable
time must elapse before any well-con-
sidered and general governmental or
inLergovernmental plan covering life
saving appliances at sea can be enact
ed into law, and in the meanW lille the
unsatisfactory conditions may contin-
ue. The argument is sound, therefore,
that the McCumber bill should be
pushed through to provide for the in
term.
The bill prohibits the clearance from
any American port Of a passenger ves-
sci Of over 5000 tons unless there shall
have been advertised and printed upon
each ticket issued for passage the
number Of passengers she is licensed
" NaA4gt ~ AdA4ONA Va PClSOhP hSNoA~
ly composing her crew, and the total
number of persons for whom she pur-
ports to be provided with life-saving
facilities capable Of keeping human
beings afioat entirely above water for
a reasonable time in ordinary wealth
err.
1t will be apparent at a glance that
this bill is in itself entirely insufficient
in scope and vague in terms, but the
point is that it is capable of immediate
enactment and is designed only to tide
over the interval until complete and
definite laws and regulations can be
formulated and then enacted into stat
ute. 1t win enforce itself, because it
will provide for publicity and competi-
ton on the positive side and because,
negatively, false statements on the
tickets would subject the steamship
companies to criminal prosecutions
and lay them liable to large sums in
damages, in case of accident.
The bill is the result Of the New
York state mayors conference and it's
passage is urged by the mayors of
eighty-three east coast cities. Under
the circumstances and for the reasons
given congress will probably push the
bill through before adjournment.

From The HiekeyviIIe Clarion.

Uncle Ezra Harkins of our town
has received word that his brother,
out in wyoming has had another mar
row escape from death. The state
board of pardons got busy on his case
just in time.
If the sun shone every single day in
the year on both sides of the street,
this would be a blamed m~onotonous
world to live in.
There is such a thing as being too
happy all the time, but a Teller can
very easily avoid this by moving next
door to a family that has three daugh-
tiers takln' lessons, and a young son
who plays on the mandolin.
The barber shop is the greatest mu-
steal center of this country. / never
yet see a barber who didn't play
something, even If it was only funk.
Amos Hilliker went down to New
York the other day to paint the town

There are moments when one wants
to be alone. and one of those mo
ments is Wen you follow one of those
coalscuttle hats about nine blocks and

it is you wife's sister.
The Teller that has travelled the
least gen'ally talks the most about 1t.

The PENSION PROBLEM.

No man with respect for the stars
and the stripes. with love OF country
and honor for the heroes Of the civil
war in his heart, will object to a lib
eral pension policy for the real veter-
ans OF q half a century %.
No one will oppose the government
paying a deserving soldier an amount
suited to the needs OF the p~ensioner-
and compatible with the wealth of the
nation. Every real soldier who is not
suficiently supplied with private
funds for bis own use-should have
assistance from the government.
1t Is the abuse OF the pension sys-
tern that the people Of the en-
tire country to resentment and protest.
Many members OF congress make the
granting of pensions q question OF
policy and politics-rather than q
matter OF national honor and duty.

FRIDAY Way 10. 1912.
E TILLMAN.

Senator Tillman Of South Carolina
has made a p~laintfve plea for re-elec-
tin. He issued an address to South
EaFolinans stating that he has served
them in the senate for eighteen years
sEd wants another term-that he is
br' Tz.l in health and unable to make
an active personal campaign.
TilIman is one of the most unique
and picturesqe characters that ever
entered public life. In 'S6 he began to
oppose the ruling power in his native
state. His first fight was for an ag-
r%icultural college and after four years
he won. The prominence gained in
this contest led to his nomination for
governor in '90-after one of the most
exciting campaigns ever conducted in
the state. He was reelected and in
"a defeated General Butler for the
senate.
Tillman was a fire eater. He has
had many base imitators but no equals.
His fighting qualities in the senate
were so abnormal that he was soon
known as "Pitchfork Tillman-but he
is no longer the var horse Of old.
Cordially hated at first. his many good
qualities finally won him the respect
and admiration of a large majority of
his associates-until today he Is as
popular al any Of his colleagues and
as quiet.
The pathetic in which the
aged statesman seeks reelection is I'M
Hk"'~' TO soften the hearts of his OPP
ponents who remember the treatment
given Gen. Wade Hampton. The lat
ter was d~efeated-on Tillman's orders
by Irby. 1t was the first legislative
session after Tillman became govern
or. He dominated everything and the
majority members of the legislature
we're mere chessmen for his pleasure.
General Hampton was ms Of the
most beloved men Of the old Palmetto
state. He had served South Carolina
bravely on the field of battle, had won
the state from carpet bag rule and had
been ar honored member Of the u. S.
senate. But Tillman and his crowd
brutality Inundated the old hero-and
set up a mere ward heeIer in his place.
The scenes at the state capitol build
ing in Columbia the day General
Hampton was defeated are unlikely to
ever be forgotten by any witness.
Brave men clinched their fists, gritted
tEeir teeth and cursed bitterly as the
tears Of sympathy for brave old Hamp-
ton rolled down their cheeks-and
hysterical women screamed and with
ed in hysteria at the political tragedy
which was enacted that day.
Now, Tillman-broken in health,
aged and decrepit-finds himself in
about the same pitiable position Gen.
eral Hampton suffered. The old Mo-
sale law would demand that stern old
Ben Tillman be kicked out of office and
discarded like a worn out shoe. The
golden rule may. however, prevail, and
the people Of the Palmetto state may
return the pitchforker to the senate
and permit him to end his days in the
harness.

pANoELIoNs.


The lawns are shifting from a beau
tifuL rich, dark green tt a yellow tinge.
The dandelions are here-and they are
numerous in spots. Dandelions are
fine for green's and the blossoms are
said to make a fair grade of wine.
But as an adornment on a lawn-they
don't contribute to the att~ractiveness
Ct the premises.
There are several methods of exter-
minating them. One is to dig them
up, another is to pour gasoline INTO
the roots. Repeated doses of gasoline
are said to be quite effective. The
latest is to open up the heart of the
dandelion and place a drop or two Of
sulphuric acid inside. This is said to
be a sure exterminator for small plants
and two treatments will put the big
gest ana toughest dandelion on the
lawn entirely out of business.
