nees and in that way get what they
could, but the Democrats knew that
if the. right man could be found they
could win and save the State from
Radical domination and they also
knew that the only man that ev-
erybody would follow would be Wade
Hampton. Hampton was undoubted-
ly a man peculiarly fitted for such a
position. All his life there had been
influence moulding him for such a
task. First the influence of .ances-
tors. His people for generations had
been soldiers and statesmen. He had
been brought up to believe that per-
sonal pleasures should be sacrificed
for public benefit, that State and
country should come before all else.
Second the influence of environ
ment. The wealthy southerner of
those days had to be leader, had
to understand and govern a weaker
people because plantation with FIVE
or six hundred slaves required an
ability to rule, and rule impartially.
And third the spirit of the time. The
need of the southern people for gen.
erations past for men to do and dare
and win for them their rights had
bred in men a desire to do something
and to make their influence felt
abroad. So very naturally it was
Hampton who was now brought for
ward.
He was elected as representative
from Richland county to the August
convention which was held "to an
nounce the platform, and elect State
officers of the Democratic party" He
was nominated for governor but re-
fused the nomination, saying:
"When the war was raging I was
asked to come here and let my name
be used as candidate for governor
but I preferred to stay wnere
thought I could do most good for my
State and country and since the war
I have never offered one word of ad-
vice unless it was asked Of me. i

whose patriotism is beyond question
and in whose wisdom I have great
confidence think that my nomination
would injure the Democratic party of

for me to decide between that party
and the interests of South Carolina,
/ would not hesitate in my choice.
But believe in the success of South
Caroline and that If Tilden is elected
we can call South Carolina our own.

NO SWEARING ALLOWED
ON THE PANAMA CANAL

In the October American Maya
zine Ray Stannard Baker gives a
wonderful account of Colonel Goe-
thals and the Panama Canal. One
of the points made, is that Goethals
believes in the value of enthusiasm
and knows how to cultivate it
among his men. The following ex-
tract from Mr.. Bakers article is in
teresting in this connection:
Everything must be done to
build up spirit of common enthu-
siasm. Many men, for example, who
came to see Goethals, especially the
more ignorant workmen, complain
ed of abusive language on the part
of foremen brought up in the old
school of private enterprise. One
day Goethals issued this order:
PROFANE LANGUAGE

The use of profane or abusive Ian
guage by foremen or others in au'

BEHALF OF THE BROS
A Year Without Insect Destroy.
ers Would Mean Death
To Mankind.

Birds live to eat. IL is lucky for
men they do, for If the birds did
not breakfast, man would not dine
Some years ago a French scientist
told the world that If all the birds
should suddenly die, man would
have only a years life left to him.
The Frenchman proved his point TO
the satisfaction of other scientists,
but laymen laughed and the usual
proportion of them kept on killing.
II always has been my belief that
the sin of bird persecution had its
beginning with other sins in the
garden. Adam probably saw a robin
picking away at cherry and in
stantly said. THE bird is a thief
Then Eve very likely saw scarlet
tanager summing itself, and straight
away coveted its plumage. So it is
that the hand of man and the head
of woman have been raised against
the bird ever since.
Why should not robin or a ce-
dar bird or a catbird or any other
Dir eat an occasional cherry? Their
dinner of cutworms, caterpillers and
other things noxious make cherry
desert their due. ~. Rg~
How much does bird eat? Take
the robin as an example. II eats at
certain seasons of the year about
double it's weight IN insects and
worms every day. A man in order
10 satisfy an equally well-developed
appetite would have to eat about
500 pounds of food all told at his
three daily meals. To do this he
would need TO be thirty feet tall,
ten feet thick from front to back
ana about five feet across the Shout
ders.
The birds dinner hour begins at
sunrise and ends an hour after sun
set. Any legislation looking TO the
shortening of its hours of labor.
which are coincident with its hours
OF eating, would bring famine. All
the song birds and all the silent
birds give their service to man and
they ask no pay for it except to be
let alone.
And the farmer who is wise will
let the old shotgun rust out before
he turns it on his best friends-the
birds.-GThe Country Gentleman.
