bent OF the once, and Police Justice

ture OF the primaries as far as the
city ticket is concerned. and 10 GER
tainly some "hoss" race.
Returns, which are coming in rather
slowly. show the mayor slightly in the
lead, but Jeffries is hanging on like
grim death. and it's a fight to finish.
Some of the Jeffries strongholds are
yet to be heard from. his friends point
out, and they are confident that he
will overhaul the mayor and be de-
clared q winner The Thompson men
are confident. too. and early In the
morning were claiming that their man
would win by from 1000 to 1000. This
looks like very rosy View Of the sit
uation, judging by returns from half
the precincts.
For the Republican nomination for
mayor, Oscar B. Marx Is making =
show OF his opponent. Proctor X.
Owens. The latter is simply buried.
and MARKS majority will run away
into the thousands -
The Progressive nomination for

very light vote. He Is running well

OF the places on the Republican ticket

the winWrs.

by the Richland county commission
ers a public highway will be con-
structed from a point on the Conga-
rec road. about mile and half
from the intersection of that road
with the Leesburg road, to the Gar
ner's Ferry road at the Baptist
church. The petitioners asked that
the highway be established and work
cd by the county, and in consldera-
ton Of this stated that they would
grant to the commissioners all the
land necessary for the proper con-
struction of the roadway, consisting
of a right of way 90 feet wide. Where
ever it may be necessary to traverse
the property of any of the petitioners
by the cutting of curves, the property
owners have expressed their willing
ness to give their permission TO the
county to act in the matter.

Politics in Edgefield County.

At present everything points to a
very sane and sober campaign in this
county. With the liquor question
practically eliminated by the recent
failure to have an election ordered on

discussed from the stump. A great
surprise politically came when Giles

Judge Gary filed with the clerk OF

which motions were recently made for
new trials. The Sanders verdict
against the Southern railway for $12,-

suit Of Halsall against the Atlantic
Coast Line, in which new trial was

then. catching the judges eye, he
made what seemed a casual move

raised; but to the judge this clearly
was without significance, and the
horse-thief manifested no further in

did not even condescend to answer
the one or two civil remarks the
Judge addressed to him.

Sacredness of the Cow In India.

The killing Of animals Is abhorrent
to the Hindoo. You may see the pious
Jain, who carries the doctrine Of the
preservation Of life to an absurd ex-
treme, moving about on the Esplanade
or near trees and fields with packet
of flour and sugar, in search Of ants,
and other insects, that he may feed
them from his store. In towns and
villages you will occasionally come
across the sacred bull, who roams |
about at will, and helps himself toI
grain and other foodstuff placed int
shops as he pleases. He is symbol
Of divinity. None will molest him;
everybody will hold him in reverence |
But in the case Of the bull the reyer-
ence is limited to the one who, so to
speak, is born in purple.
AS for the COW, the entire species Is
sacred, and to kill 1t Is a cardinal
sin. Whenever the pious Hindoo
passes by a COW, he touches it With
his hand and salutes it.

Greenville Horse Show Closed.

With the exhibits held the sixth
annual exhibition Of the Greenville
Horse Show came to close. The en-
tries this year eclipsed those Of any
previous show, and the opinion was
expressed by those who entered
horses that the Greenville show Is un-
surpassed by any in the South. The
weather on all three days was we'll
suited to horse show purposes, but
the crowds were disappointing. Horses
were entered from South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Georgia.

out OF the silence sounded a long
drawn whistle. Three times it was
repeated. The horse-thief leaped to
his feet.
"Neighbor, that means mel" he
cried.

the door; once-twice-it rose and
fell on the clapboards, and under
those mighty thuds grew up a wide
gap through which the moonlight
streamed splendidly. The horse-thief
stepped between the dangling cleats
and vanished.
The Judge tossed away the stool.
He understood now. With a conf.

emerged from the Jail.

convention which nominated Cleve-

Collins, of Boston, who had never held
any important elective Office, was per-
manent chairman.
1t Is q common political error to re-

nominated Garfield and Arthur as that
which had the longest session. That
lconvention was in session seven days.
The Charleston convention Of 1860, In
which the Democrats met, was In ses-

ing, Of Massachusetts,, was permanent
chairman. AS Is known to political
students, that convention failed to
nominate, and adjourned to meet In
Baltimore two months later, on June
lis. There 1t nominated Douglas and
Johnson, the latter Of Georgia. But
there was another Democratic conven-
ton held by the seceders from the
Charleston convention, which also met
at Baltimore a few days later, on June
90, and nominated Breckenridge and
Lane.
The national Republican convention
Of the same year met at Chicago In
May, and nominated Lincoln and
Hamlin. George Ashman, of Massa-
lchusetts, was permanent chairman OF
that body, and Horace Greeley appear
ed as a delegate from Oregon.
Another Republican convention pre-
ceded the Lincoln and Hamilton con-
vention four years. 1t met in Philadel-
phia in June, 1856, and nominated FIRE.

Indiana, was permanent chairman.
This was the first Republican national
