Eldred S. Fickling, formerly of Beaufort, and for many years after the war Chief of Police at Columbia, and still on the force, is six feet nine inches in his stockings. A man of medium height can walk under his arms extended horizontally. Mr. Sickling's father, an eminent lawyer, was six feet five inches, while other men of the family are exceptionally tall. When he was fifteen years old Mr. Fickling says he went with his father to Charleston. They were in the lobby of the old Mills House when several other Beaufort men came in. Some one remarked that it was largest gathering of Beaufortians he had seen that day, and suggested that they see how far they could walk up King street. Six of them started out, but before going half a dozen blocks up the street had to go into stores and separate. The following crowd blocked

Speaking of Beaufort men, Mr. Fickling says that when he was a boy Mr. Cuthbert, of Beaufort, told him that he was the centre file of the old Beaufort artillery when that organization turned out in 1825 to see Lafayette. Mr.

History of the Mace.

tThe great gilt mace which rests on

the table of the House of Commons

when the speaker is in the chair is the

third of its kind. No. 1 has no birth

date, but the time of its disappearance

is well known. When Charles I. was

beheaded the mace of the House of

Commons vanished and was no more

seen. Its whereabouts was never

traced. When Cromwell came into

power and parliamentary proceedings

were resumed he ordered another

mace, which lives in history as being

the identical bauble which the protec- -

it is committed to the tower of Lon-

possessed a mace presented to the

colony by Charles II. No doubt it

was ordered at the same time as the

one at present in use in the House of

.Commons. It cost nearly $400, was

silver gilt and was conveyed to

Jamaica by Lord Windsor, the first

Governor commissioned by Charles

II. By an odd coincidence this mace

also disappeared and is thought to

have been engulfed in an earthquake

in 1672, when among other public

buildings the parliament house was
