Col. j. c. Hemphill, for many years
editor of the Charleston Is. c.
News and Courier, one of the most
distinguished and able journalists Of
America, has been appointed Wash
ington correspondent of the Public
Ledger. Col. Hemphill's editorial
vision has never been bounded by any
section, but has been SO broad and
comprehensive that he has long en-
joyed a national reputation. His
knowledge Of the varying political,
social and commercial conditions
throughout the country is profound
and accurate. His wide personal ac-
qua%intance with the public men of

gifts made them so profoundly influ-
entail as commentators and interpret
ers Of public affairs. There is a PEE
culiar appropriateness in the selec-
ton of Col. Hemphill to represent a
Pennsylvania newspaper at the seat
of the national government, for his
ancestors were from this State. His
mother, Hannah Smith Lind, was
the daughter of Rev. John Lind, Of
Greencastle, Pa, hnd, his father,
William Ramsay Hemphill, was an
alumnus of the Allegheny Theofogi-
cal Institute at Pittsburgh. Col.
HemphilT's interests have always
been as wide as the nation; he is
thoroughly acquainted with the
Southland; he possesses an intimate
and sympathetic understanding of
the North, and is, therefore, equipped
to deal with the larger aspects of the
national life at the nations capital
in a broad, spirited way for a ma
tionaf newspaper.

WANTED no GUST BABoooK.
Senate Refused TO Confirm Appoint
ment of DIR. Houseal.

Columbia, Feb. 2O!--Dr. w. Gus
tave Houseal, of Newberry, was to-
night appointed by the Governor as
superintendent of the State Hospital
for the Insane, succeeding DR.. j. w.
Babcock, the incumbent.
The appointment was sent to the
Senate, and by request of the Gov
ernor was read in open session. An
executive session will be held by the
Senate to pass on the appointment,
The Governor had expected DR..
Houseal to be elected a member of
the board Of trustees OF the Charles
ton Medical College, and said that
he gave the position OF superintend-
Of the State Hospital for the Insane
to DR.. Houseal to show .wha. he
thought of him, the Governor being
very much disappointed over the
failure Of the General Assembly to
elect DR.. Houseal as a trustee of the
Medical College. Dr.. Houseal is a
resident of Newberry and the per-
scnal physician of the Governor.
Babcock Tillman Appointee.
Dr.. Babcock was appointed super
i~ntendent of the asylum by Governor
Tillman during his first term in the
early 90's, and has held the position
ever since. The constitution gives
the Governor the right to appoint the
superintendent and board of regents
Of the State Hospital for the Insane.
The naming of DR.. Houseal to sue
coed DR.. Babcock came as a great
surprise to the General Assembly,
and to people generally and caused
much discussion.
In Executive Session.
The Senate went into executive
session at once to consider the ap-
pointment of DR.. w. G.! Houseal as
superintendent of the State Hospital.
A hot debate took place over the
matter, and during the course Of the
discussion the splendid work which
DR.. Babcock has done for the State
Asylum was lauded by member af-
ter member. DR.. Houseal was refer
red to in highest terms, but the Sem
ate did not approve of the Governors
attempted busting OF DR.. Babcock.
The fact that the constitution re-
quires that the board of regents Of
the asylum and the superintendent
be appointed with the advice and
consent of the Senate; that the con-
stitution forbids the holding of any
office for life except notaries public,
and that the appointment OF DR..
Houseal was illegal we're brought out
during the %threshing out of this mat
Eter.
The Final Test.
Columbia, Feb. 2O.-By a vote of
81 to 3 the Senate refused to con-
firm the appointment of DR.. Houseal
to be superintendent OF the State
Hospital for the Insane, and DR.. Bah
cock will hold over. The vote came
after midnight and before it was
taken the Governor was scored by
several for his action. The reason
assigned by the Governor for his ac-
ton was severely denounced.
Governor Blease was ON the floor
OF the Senate when his message first
came in, but left soon afterwards.
His sudden action caused a sensation.
DR.. j. w. Babcock would not dis
cuss the matter.

Winner of $40 Prize
MR.. B. SUG OF ST. LOUIS


7 AM seventy-fve years old, still on the
! road, and am kept young by it. l had
nv first experience in solicitation when |
was sixteen, rather small and slender, and
looking only thirteen. l was probably the
youngest drummer on the road In those days,
when drummers were few and far between.
The job was to solicit freight for trans
portation line operating between New York
and Philadelphia through the Delaware &
Raritan Canal. New York was a compare
lively small city then, all the wholesale bust
ness being concentrated below Chambers-st.,
and in my operations south of that line |
was soon on intimate terms with most of the
shipping clerks in the district.
Our line was in competition with the old
Camden & Amboy Railroad, the Pennsyl-
vania as yet not extending beyond Phila
delphia. Our line, as well as the Camden &
Amboy, was feeder to the Pennsylvania;
so was able to influence great many ship
ments in our direction that would otherwise
have gone by rail.
One day saw in front of large wholesale
grocery house on Water-st. twenty or thirty
barrels marked, @B. SUG, ST. LOUIS
Here was a shipment must secure for our
line! thereupon sought the shipping clerk
and said:
BILLY, I see you have some goods out
there for Mr.. Sug, and of course you under
stand they are to go by our line
"What Mr.. Sug?' asked Billy.
@Why, B. Sug of ST. Louis. All his freight
goes by our line. He won't have any of it
go by rail-
@What are you talking about?T exclaimed
the disguised Billy. Il don't know about
any goods to go to any Sug of St. Louis:
ayes, YOU do, | returned. "All those bar
rels out there on the sidewalk are for B. Sug
of St. Louis
Billyglanced toward the barrels. ooh. that's
it, is it," was his exclamation. "Say, Sonny,
did you ever see this Mr.. Sug of St. LOUISE
ooh, yes, lots of times, was my cocky
answer "Mr. Sug comes into our Office and
smokes cigar with Captain Briggs every
time he is in New York. They are great
friends, and Mr.. Sug will be as mad as hops
if you don't give us that freight.
@Look here!7 said Billy, taking me by the
chin and turning me about to look straight
into my eyes. do you know you re the
biggest little liar in New York? Your
mother never licked you for lying when you
were a child. There is no such man as B. Sug.'
ayes, there is too was my unabashed
reply. "See all those barrels out there
marked for him.
Here Billy gave vent to roar of laughter
@Why, YOU little cuss." he ha-haed. THAT B.
Sug. means Brown Sugar and St. Louis is the
warship ST. Louis which is going on three
year cruise, and these are part of her stores.
