Gave It a certain politician, who was once well known as a shining light in the temperance cause, was advised by his doctor to take a little stimulant, as the best remedy for indisposition from which he was suffering. Mo luiintpH nut to tho doctor that his position as the leading local advocate of temperance would not admit of such a thing. The doctor, however, was in exorable. "You shave every morning, I presume?" queried the doctor.
"Yes, of course," replied the statesman. "Well, then," proposed the doctor, "why not lock a bottle of whisky in your bed-room, and when your shaving water is brought up it will give you an excellent opportunity to take your whisky without in any way affecting the morals of your household or your constituents. So the politician consented to carry out the orders of his medical man. Some time later the doctor met one of his patient's servants on the street. "How is your master now, John?" queried he.
"His health is by this time quite restored. I trust!" "Oh, yes, it is, sir. "E's quite recovered his 'ealth sir," replied John, "but I'm much afeard there's something wrong in 'is 'ead!" "Dear me, dear me! What do you mean?" hastily responded the doctor. "Well, sir, I can't understand 'im in some ways. "E's took to shavin' five or six times a day, reg'ler!" Value Vermont, one of the members of a commission sent to America to spend a very large sum of money for England, was bored in New York by the persistency of an agent who tried to sell him saddles.
After listening to the agent good naturedly for a long time, Captain Vermont said: "I cannot buy your saddles. The prices you ask are too high. Jike the old Welsh farmer, insist on getting the full value of my money. "This farmer," Capt. Vermont continued, "was the only person who appeared at chapel one story Sunday morning.
"The minister, seeing but one worshiper, thought he would preach only one two as usual. "He mounted the pulpit stairs, and looking down at the solitary farmer, said: 'Well, John, shall I give you the sermon in Gaelic or the one in "John, who was a very gruff old fellow, looked the preacher sternly in the eye and replied: 'Gie me them baith, you're weel paid for They Were Paid to the promptness of some people in settling their accounts, Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, recalled a little Incident about a party named Jones. A few days before Christmas Mr. Jones was talking with his neighbor, Brown, when the subject of interchanging presents entered into the conversation. "Do you mean to say," declared Brown, in response to a statement made by Jones, "that all of your Christmas presents are paid for?" "Why, yes," was the easy rejoinder of Jones.
"I settled for the last of them yesterday." "You are nothing short of a wonder!" enviously returned Brown. "I haven't even begun to buy mine yet." "Neither have answered Jones, with a look of enlightenment. "I was referring to last Christmas." The Roosevelt, as all the world may not know, shaves every evening before he goes to bed. Apropos of this odd fact there is a little story. Before the Outlook office one day a robust man of middle age approached the colonel and said, displaying a row of strong, white teeth in a smile: "Colonel, I'm taken for you everywhere.
It's most embarrassing." Colonel Roosevelt looked the man over keenly, then with a smile that displayed his own strong, white teeth, he said: "Well, of all my doubles you resemble me the most. In fact, if I could stand you up before me every evening I'd be able to shave by you." Quite a builder's man urn a aenn wn ikintr with his rieht arm raised above his head and slightly hent, as if carrying an object of some weight. "What the dickens are you walking like that for?" asked the puzzled foreman. "Can't I walk blooming well as I like?" replied the man. "Yes.
perhaps you may; but what about the chap behind?" Turning, the workman saw his mate standing two yards in the rear holding his arm in precisely the sam? way. "Well, I'm blowed, Bill," he said after a moment's reflection, "we've left the blooming ladder behind." The Retort girls are forbidden to "answer back." no matter how abusive a subscriber may be.

WITH THE LAWMAKERS.
Interesting Incident of the Warehouse Acres and a Mule Re Move to Revise Taj McMahan Wants to Women the Right to Friction Between Manning and Pee. pies. Correspondence Yorkville Enquirer. Columbia, January the debate on the Warren bill for the repeal ol the Warehouse Act, it is strange thai none of the papers have mentioned the very able speech of Mr. J.
T. Liles, 01 the dramatic attack made on Messrs Graydon and Warren by Mr. Sellers The speech by Mr. Sellers was a verj thoughtful, able presentation of the merits of the logica and full of facts. The speech of Mr Sellers was fiery, and voiced wit! power and passion his resentment al the "little lawyers" who were dictating what the farmers should or should nol do.
Mr. Sellers had tried several times to get the floor, but had failed to secure fact, the entin debate seemed to be taken charge ol by lawyers. Finally some one, whoir your correspondent does not know asked Mr. Sellers if he was a farmer Mr. Sellers replied affirmatively; and the gentleman saia, aii ngni, yuu ctu have my place, I think the farmers ought to be words to thai effect.
There were calls for Sellers tc come into the centre aisle and he stalked around and faced the housesquare, strong and solid, a fine type ol the modern South Carolina farmer The house saw in the first few sentences that something was going tc happen, and you could have heard a pin drop when Sellers turned on Mr Graydon, in reply to his attack or state warehousing. He did not ever deal in the usual parliamentary persiflage, "the gentleman from Abbeville," but, with scorn in tone and manner, pointed to "that man," "I'll show you what he wants," and then, getting a copy of the Code from the days of Scott, the infamous Republican governor of South Carolina, he read the Freedman's Bureau Bill, thai under Scott and Moses, was used tc accomplish the great land steal, from the effects of which the state is yel suffering. He then read from the land bill introduced by Mr. Graydon, and reported favorably by Mr. Warren a bill that, so far as I can judge, is copied word-for-word from the ScottMoses bill.
Certainly Ben Sellers speech was one of the most dramatic and forceful heard this session in the house. I have seen a copy of the ScottMoses-Warren-Graydon bill. It is No 74, and is entitled, "A Bill to Create a State Land Commission, define its powers and prescribe its duties." The land commissioner is to be paid per year. It provides for the sinking fund to turn over all of its cash anc credits to the commissioner, for hire to purchase annually land at not ovei $12 per acre to the extent of $500,000 to Jse resold to persons making application for same. Of course no sue! revival of Radical Jobbery has tht slightest chance of becoming a law and but for Sellers it would not attracted the least attention.
An administration bill of great importance is being championed in th? house by Messrs. Liles and Tax Commission bill. This measure a step in the right direction. Mr. Liles is a member of the ways and means committee, and is probably one of the best equipped men in the house tc grapple with a problem of this character.
Mr. Dick will probably not after this session, as he has been appointed postmaster at Sumter. The object of the bill is to reform the entin tax system. The returns of property are so far below real value that 1' makes the mill levy so high as to injure the credit of the objeci being to raise the assessment and lower the levy. The present assessment injures individual credit, because whet a man's property, worth $100,000, assessed at $10,000, Dun's or Bradstreet's rating curtails his credit.
I will makes his taxes no higher, provided everybody is assessed equally. There is a rumor of friction betweei the governor and attorney general, report being that the former has demanded the removal of Assistant Attorney General Fred H. Dominick or the ground that he was opposed to th? policies of the governor. As the inaural address of the governor is totallj opposed to such a course, your correspondent does not believe it, but merely mentions it as a persistent story being circulated to the injury of Governor Manning. The amendment for suffrage foi white women, offered by Mr.
MoMahan, has many friends and will likely get the two-thirds vote necessary foi its submission. The wave of prohibition sentiment is overpowering, and ii is certain that this state intends tt make some experiments in this line There is, however, among conservative prohibitionists, a feeling that the referendum proposed by Senator William: will really do more for the cause thai more radical action; and the William: plan has a latent strength that maj surprise us all if submitted to the people. Senators Stuckey and Johnstone made a good fight against the repea of the acreage reduction act, and manj who voted to repeal the law will like ly realize that a mistake has beei made, when the June acreage repori destroys the good that has been ac complished by this holding movement While there are a few extreme mei in both branches ready to revive fac tional strife, the general spirit is of tolerance, and it begins to look as i men and measures are to be consider ed on their merit. If Governor Man ning carries out the policy stated li his inaugural he will accomplish i great work for the state, and the dis position among his former politics foes is to give him a "square deal." Favorable comment is being upon the reduction of insurance on cotton in state warehouses. This if made by the South-Eastern Under" writers' association on the ground thai a state warehouse is a better mora! risk.
The principal cost to warehous5 ing cotton is insurance, and with tht Insurance Commissioner co-operating by next season the good results will bt felt by rarmers wno warenouse men cotton at home. i The retirement of Mr. James Moore from the editorship of the Col lumbia Record is attributed by many to his too-partisan attitude. The stinging- reply by Senator Appelt, ir his Capitol correspondence, is suppos. ed to have precipitated his denouef ment.
i The memorial exercises in the sen1 ate for Senator Hardin of Chester, at. tracted much attention, especially the i addresses of Senators Johnstone, Brice I and Banks. Senator Hardin will be greatly missed in the senate, not only for his lovable disposition, but for his i practical common sense. His successor Senator Brice, is an able lawyer and was a potent force in the house. He has been assigned to the finance comi mittee, and I predict that by the time the session ends, will be a power to be reckoned clear thinker, with I a ready and forceful style of expresi sion, he is altogether an attractive sonality.
There are so many new members ir i the treneral assembly that it is hard to size the body up. As a whole, it compares favorably with the preceding legislature.
