"a Gallon o. Misery"

Booker T. Washington once said
at dinner that he could not speak
for temperance more effectively
than to quote the words of old uncle
Calhoun ebster: when | see a
man a-goin' home wild a gallon O.
whiskey an half a pound O. meat,

TRE DIFFERENCE.

when the husband meets his slp-
meet every morning in debate,
And he's trying to explain to her
why he was out so late,
There is never any question th't his
argument will fail,
For the female OF the species can
talk longer than the male.
When the argument is hottest and
they get down TO brsss tacks,
And they land each Others relatives
lot of pungent whacks;
You would think that hers we're an
gels and that his shou'd be III
Jail,
For the female OF the species can
think faster than the male.
When they're whacking up the
Doodle that he's earned
throughout the week,
And deciding how to spend it, he's
pretty helpless geek;
1t is sad for him to look at his
percentage OF the kale,
For the female of the species can
grab quicker than the male.
When it comes to information on
the gossip of the day,
On the neighborhood activities and
things that people say,
She has got her husband beaten
when she gets upon the trail,
For the female OF the species can
hear" lots more than the
male.

PRESSING HIS FIGHT.
Disbarred Lawyer Trying to Prevent
WoodS'S Confirmation.

Washington, May 7.-1nterest con-
tinues to be shown here in the ef-
forts of a former Columbia lawyer to
have the senate judiciary committee
refuse to sanction the nomination of
Justice Charles A. Woods of South
Carolina. This matter has now
passed it's local confinement. Persons
from other States, especially lawyers
in the Fourth circuit, are closely fol-
lowing every move and although
there does not appear to be any rea-
son why Mr.. Woods should not be
confirmed, the fact that subcom-
mittee of the senate judiciary COM
mittee now has the matter under con-
sideration lends interest to the situ-
alton.
The former attorney, who is in
censed against Justice Woods because
the latter wrote the opinion in su-
preme court case when the attorney
was cited for contempt for attempting
to practice law after having been dis
barred, is in Washington and intends
to stay here, so he says, until final
action is taken in the matter.
1t is known that friends of Justice
Woods from Virginia, and the other
States embraced in the Fourth cir
cult. have written a large number of
letters to the judiciary committee
members testifying to their high
opinion of the South Carolina jurlst
and asking that immediate action be
taken in order that he may4qualify
and take his seat on the circuit court
bench.
1t is probable that within few
days the subcommittee will make its
report to the full committee and that
a decision favorable to the nomina-
ton will then be Forthcoming.

THIRD JOB OF YEGGS.
Safe is Cracked at Kingville.-About
$1OO is Missing.

Columbia, May 12.-Making the
third safe robbery in four days the
postoffice at Kingville was entered,
about o'clock yesterday morning
and the safe robbed of between S75
and S1OO, according to report recelv-
ed here yesterday. All of these rob-
berries have followed the escape OF
Portland Ned. Last Thursday morn
ing the safe in the postofice at Barr,
Lexington county, was cracked; and
Friday night three stores at Cayce
were reported to have been entered.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
D. J. Boyd, postmaster at Kingville,
was aroused from his sleep by noise
in his store and postoffice adjoining
the room in which he lives. 1t was
still dark. With his pistol he went
into the store, and as he did so he saw
two men disappear from the building
into the early morning shadows. Mr.
Boyd did not fire. Making an lnVes-
tigation he found that the safe had
been opened, by what means could
not be ascertained, and robbed OF be-
tween SIS and 500.
The conductor on train No. l6, CO.
lumbia to Charleston, on the South
ern railway, passing through King
vile at 4.O5 in the morning was re-
ported last night to have seen man
dart between two of his cars when
No. 1e stopped at Kingville yester-
day morning a little behind schedule.
AS the conductor went toward the
man he ran, and was joined by a
second man, both of whom disappear
ed.
J.. D. Dunnaway, rural policeman
for the lower part of Richland county,
was notified of the robbery; out SO
far as could be ascertained no arrests
were made. The telephone exchanges
at Kingville and Eastover were closed

SINGULAR CATFISH.
Queer Specimen Brought From Co.
lombian Mountain Streams.

A singular catfish of the mountain
streams of Colombia has been brought
to the notice of the New York Acad-
emy of Sciences by R. D. O. Johnson,
an engineer lately returned from CO.
lombian mines, The fish, known to the
natives as captain" and much sought
as food, resembles the horned pout OF
North America, and wriggles aWk-
wardly through the water like tad
pole, but its chief popularity is It's
unrivaled power of creeping on the
bottom against powerful streams and
climbing out of deep potholes. For
moving about in its swift native Wa
tersit has developed Especial mechan-
ism in two parts. One essential is a
fat sucker mouth, with a small apert-
ure surrounded by a broad, rubber
like flap; the other part, on the belly,
is a triangular bony plate to when
are attached broad ventral fins with
fiat surfaces thickly studded with
small, sharp teeth pointing backward.
Two pairs of muscles give the plate
and fins a free forward movement
equal to about a sixth of the length
of the fish. By the exercise of these
muscles and the alternate action OF
some suction pressure connected with
the bony plate and that of the mouth,
the fish bitches along over the rocks
and seems to depend on this form of
locomotion more than on swimming.
Several of the fish were seen to climb
out of a pothole % feet deep. They
took half an hour and avoided parts
of the rock not covered with at least
| a film of water.-New York Sun.

EDGEFIELD FIELD YIELDS GOLD.
Tenant PIoughs Up $4,000 Long
Buried-Who Gets It?

Edgefeld, May S.-Yesterday while
working in the field on Mr.. Prescott's
place, in the Rehoboth section of the
county, tenant ploughed up an iron
pot, containing about four hundred
dollars in gold. By whom it was
buried is not known, although from
the appearance of the vessel it must
have been many years ago.
Some question has been suggested
as to who is entitled to the money,
the finder or the owner of the land,
or if the latter has any interest what
ever in it. 1t seems to be the opln-
ion that, under the law, the finder is
entitled to it, in the absence of the
real owner.

stories, the tallest structure in the
world save the Eiffel Tower in Paris,
was designed by Cass Gilbert.

French and Renaissance architecture
with Gothic Steple, in creamy white
stone and terra Gotta, the result is
building unique and one of the most

GARBAGE

At last New York is likely to learn,
what some other cities have found out
years ago, that there is profit in
the garbage collected from the city
streets. whereas some Western cit
les make profit of 81 ton by con-
vertfng their garbage into fertilizer,
New York has been paying $4,000 a
year to have this refuse carted away
and sent to Barren Island.
A new contract is about to be made
for the work for the next five years,
and the present company has put in
a bid of $4,000 year FOR it. Its
competitor is contractor from Peek
skill, who offers to pay the city &c.,
900 for the first year, $4,000 for the
second and $4,000 each for the next
three years for these collections. We
know nothing about the responsibility
or the equipment of the Peekskill
contractor, but it is clear that If other
cities can make profit from garbage
disposal works, private contractor
can make still greater profit, NUM-
cipal operation being always more ex-
pensive than private, as New York
knows only too well. If there is any
money in garbage the city, and not a
private company, should make it. AS
between these two bids, there is a
balance Of over s1,O0O,0O0. in favor
of the city. II the outside bid is not
accepted, very good reasons indeed
must be given for ignoring such a
cnance to save the city's money

LONDON EXHIBIT
SUBJECT OF
Meeting

Representing several industries, a
meeting was held yesterday afternoon
in the Offices OF The Waterhouse Co..
Ltd, to consider the matter of send
ing an exhibit to the Tropical Pro-
ducts Exhibition in London next sum-
mer. Some who had promised to at
tend were detained with business at
the last moment F. T. p. Warehouse
having been chosen as chairman, an
informal talk on the subject was held.
Letters from A. Staines Manders, the
managing director OF the London pro-
ject, and w. A Anderson, the rubber
planter on Maui, urging local organi-
zation were read. Mr.. Anderson, who
attended the international rubber con-
ference and exhibition in New York
last year, spoke of the opportunity
that was missed by other Hawaiian
industries than rubber on that coca
sion, when various countries on their
respective days served coffee and 9TH
er refreshments of their home produc-
ton to the visitors.
This point turned out 10 be Just
where the London scheme is not at
tractive TO the pineapple growers
here. w. p. Thomas has been in cor
respondence with, the managing direc.
tor, on behalf Of the Thomas corpora
ton. Having been informed by Mr..
Manders that the serving of pineap-
pies at the exhibition would not be
practicable, the Thomas company had
decided not to send an exhibit. At
the same time, the company would
not hold out from any association ac-
ton that might be taken.
1t was agreed to submit the ques-
ton to the pineapple association and
to producers of other tropical prod
|ucts than pineapples, in the mean
time communicating with the London
management with the purpose of OBJ
tanning more liberal concessions. The
editor of the Forester was appointed
secretary to conduct the
necessary correspondence.
A list of exhibits that might be as
sembled was submitted, comprising:
Algaroba bean meal, coffee, cotton,
honey, industrial school manufactures
of Hawaiian material, mahogany,
pictures of industries and scenery by
BONNIE, oil paintings by Hitchcock,
pineapples, preserves, rice, rubber,
sisal, sugar, tobacco and wool.
There are two exhibitions to be
held conformity the fourth interna-
tional rubber and the first interna-
tional exhibition of tropical products
and allied industries, At the meeting
yesterday, F. w Macfarlane, F. B.
McStocker and Jesse Young were
asked TO act with the local members
of the honorary advisory committee
in further transactions, the organiza-
ton also to include any other repre-
'sehtativesiof Hawaiian industries who
may take an interest in the matter.
