THE PAY OF CONGRESSMEN.
During the two years which
constitute a term in the House of
Representatives a member draws
in salary, for clerk
hire for stationery and
whatever amount his mileage
may come to. His period of
at Washington is about
nine months out of the twenty-
four. There are few
whose devotion to public
life interrupts seriously their
pursuit of private business-
although it is true that when
Thomas B. Reed finally quit
Congress he said it was because
he had to make a living.
Prestige comes with a. single
election to the House; much more
reelection. Service in the nation
legislature affords an

particularly valuable to a law
For a senator the pecuniary

of two. His seat in the
calls him twenty-seven
twenty-eight out of

record may be weak without sub
him to fine or removal
As a member of the upper

There is no clause

which binds him to spend his
time between sessions exclusive-
in the contemplation of his
toga.
Why be Honest
A lady bought half a dozen
handkerchiefs at a store in
When she opened the package
at home she found she hail
seven. The next day, when
down town, she called at the
store to pay for the extra hand-
kerchief, for she concluded she
wanted seven; and when she
spoke to the clerk of the mis-
take and her purpose to pay for
the extra handkerchief the clerk
looked up amazed. She was
startled, but caught her breath
enough to say it was very
unusual.
Of course it was unusual, be-
cause mistakes of this kind are
not frequent. People would
surely not keep as their own
what came into their hands by
mistake. For that would be
the same as stealing. It is
ally just as bad. and legally, too,
as if they put their hands into a
till and took out money. If that
lady had kept that seventh hand-
kerchief, and said nothing t
it, she would have been just as
guilty as if she had slipped an
extra one under her cloak when
she left the store.
She might not have been put
in jail, for it, but. she would
be punished for it somehow,
sometime. The penalty might
not come in a stroke of
tune or sorrow, but it would in
loss of character, of noble
pose, of lofty ideals. We cannot
escape retribution. Murder will
out- A person cannot even
pear honest, square and above
board if his conduct is tainted
with faults and meanness. One
of the worst mistakes we are
of is the belief that we can
cover up mistakes. One of the
noblest faiths we can practice is
to be honest for sake of hon-

SECRETARY SHAW'S WARNING.
While careful to avoid the use
of any language might be
quoted with grave effect,
Saw, in his annual report,
permits it to be seen that he re-
girds the present financial con-
of country as contain-
a large element of danger.
All will be well he Intimates, if
the country is wise in time, but
otherwise he will not be
for the consequences.
Speculative fever cannot rage
indefinitely without a disastrous
reaction, and already money
stringency is world wide. As
Mr. Shaw stated the other day
in reply to the stupid charge
that stock gambling s
for tight money, people
are gambling not only in stocks
and bonds but in cotton, grain,
pork, that has
a market value- and this at a
when the world needs
all its money and other facilities
for the unprecedented volume of
legitimate business- In short,
he believes that the boom will
burst if much further inflation
occurs. To re-enforce his warn-
he does not hesitate to
point to the possibility of sue h
things as closed factories and
stopped pay rolls. It should be
Said that Mr- Shaw is far from
being alone in his fears; the
journals have been
sounding the same note.
agree that if the country can
be made to listen to reason
the danger will pass. This is
the financial situation today, in
the opinion of so eminent and
responsible an authority as
Secretary Shaw, and The Ob-
server commends his warning
to its readers as worthy of their

The Old and New.
The custom of ringing out the
old year and ringing in the new
year was observed as usual in
Greenville Monday night. A few
minutes before midnight the
bells in town began t solemn
a requiem to the dying year,
and on the stroke of the
ling changed to merry ringing
in greeting to the new year. The
lights also took part in
the observance this time gradual-
growing dimmer until extinct
just at then suddenly flashing
out in all their bi It was
a solemn moment.
THE WONDERFUL PASSING OF THE
OLD YEAR.
Ell tor Reflector;
What a beautiful
passing of the old year at
o'clock Doc. The silver
moon had bedecked herself in a
misty maze of sorrowful-glad-
Directly over head at
midnight, she stood still, seem-
and looked down on the
most silent world, waving an
adieu to the old, and throwing a
luster like kiss to the new year.
Indeed it was a beautiful, grand
sight to the mind to see
the pale moon standing as it we

Such a scene has possibly
never been looked upon before.
Upon examination
the moon has not stood as it
did that night in half century.

something good. Such an occur-
is not luck. There was a
great power behind tho silent
utterances of the moon. X.

Lean bacon has a unique value

There are three ways used by far-

tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re-
the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing

Spencer Blackburn made a
long step the bounds of

against Governor Glenn in con-
with the contest matter.
Blackburn must have fallen
down in his hopes of getting a
big Federal appointment, as he
has given notice that he will con-
test Hackett's election.
Spencer Black turn has served
notice on Congressman-elect
Hackett, of the district,
that he will contest the election.
Blackburn charges more fraud
than he is going to be able to
prove.
Governor Glenn has given the
falsehood to Blackburn's charges.
That was to be expected, as no
one knows better that they are
false than Blackburn himself.
