Gaffney's city council is arranging to give the city more adequate fire protection.' It has purchased a splendid hose wagon, and will, as soon as it can find them, purchase two good horses; it will also employ an experienced man to properly in stall the frre apparatus and 'see that same is put in proper working order.

(Hughes to-night publicly declar ed his attitude towards the movement In favor of his nomination for the presidency. In a letter to JamesS. Lehmaier, of JCew York,, acknowledg ing nodficution of the resolution of en dorsement recently passed by tho Re publican club, and appointing the evening of Friday or next week for a meeting with the cluo at which, he in timates, ia will etui more definitely declare (himself. "I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me," says the Gover nor, "by my fellow members of .the Republican club In tne vassage of the resolution to whlcn you refer, and it will give me pleasui-e to accept the invitation. In accepting it, it is per haps for me to stata my position: "It ! my desire that the senti ment of the party shall have the freest expression and that euch action shall be taken as will be for Its best interests, "I'do not seek office nor shall I attempt to Influence the selection or vote of any delegate. The State ad ministration must continue o be im partial and must not be tributary to any candidacy. "I have no interest in any factional controversy and desire above all things that there shall be deliberation, hon est expression of the party will and harmony o? effort. "I cannot fail to recognize the great honor which the nomination would confer or the obligation of service which It-would Impose. Nor should I care to be thought lacking In ap preciation of the confidence and es teem which prompt the efforts of those who sincerely desire to bring It about. The matter is one for the party to decide and whatever its decision Is I shall be content." THE UNSOCIABLE ' AUTHORS. They Don't Wan Company and Are at Palas to Let tlie Fact Be Richmond Times-Dispatch . Mrs. Edith Wharton, we learn from the press, has erected an unusually blunt no-trespass sign In front of her country home at Lenox, Mass. It reads: ."Keep Out. This Means You." Jack London's California bungalow in stantly suggests itself. On the front door Mr. London used o keep a pla card readings. . "No one admitted except on. business. No business transacted here." On theback door was another placard, which ran: "Please do not enter without knock ing. Please do not knock." Tenny son, with similar designs, had a tall hedge and a dog. Swinburne has the faithful Watts-Dunton. Watts-Dun-ton is as good a burrer as any of the foregoing. Joaquin Miller and somebody perhaps It was William Waldorf Astor went to Putney to call on the old noel a year or two ago. Watts-Duntun went up to break the news. After a moment the poet's great voice came rolling down Into the hall: 'Tell Miller to come up. Tell the other fellow to go to Hades." Authors need to be aloof. In Miss Cholmondeley's too little appreciated book, gifted, Hester Gresley is con stantly suffering from the Incursions of the bouncing "and middle-class Pratts. They came, tney would hil ariously explain, to "rout her out" Routing out was the last thing that little Hester needed. Novelists re quire solitude, quiet, unfettered Wme to !oaf and Invite their souls. That is why some of them work between midnight and dawn nna sleep In the daytime. Even popular novelists usually go off to the country to write nowadays.1 Staying in the .city Is too risky. It Jolts thought and- throws the strangle-hold onto genius. Just as one reaches the point, after hours of tiflnlte patient coaxing, of luring a shy, rare and radiant Idea from Its fastness of the spirit, the door bangs open, 4n comes Jenkins "with the coal man's little memorandum, and all is lost. But "Keep ut thrs means you." seems to be srolng a little far. Gen ius haa a right to he unsociable, but It has no patent privilege to be unman nerly. USE WALKING STICKS.
