INTERNAL REVENUE STAMPS ON
DRAFTs.-Internal Revenue Col
lector Marks is On the war-path.
and is after those merchants and
others in the country parishes
who send drafts to this city with
out the two.cent internal revenue
stamp attached.
The collector is daily in receipt
Of drafts in payment Of the special
tax Of dealer in liquor and tobacco,
and on a large majority of those
which reach him there arc no
stamps. The absence Is no doubt
attributable to carelessness Or
ignorance, but the law makes no
allowance for either and Furnishes
the issning Of a draft without the
stamp by a fine Of $50. Collector
Marks declares that he intends
hereafter to strictly enforce the
law \. o. Democrat.

Anecdotes ~ofStephens.

We find two good anecdotes
about Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens,
the diminutive statesman OF Geor-
eia. He was once a delegate to a
famous political convention at
Charleston before the war, and Put
up at one of the best hotels kept by
an excellent woman. After dinner
Mr.. Stephens went into the parlor
and lay down on the sofa.
There were quite a number OF gen.
tlemen in the parlor and the bust
ling landlady, looking after the
comfort Of her guests, came in and
seeing his small figure reclining at
full length, said to him with a
shake by the shoulder:
"Get up, sonny, and let some of
these grown-up men sit down on
that SOFA" Mr.. Stephens got up
without a word, but the day after
wards, when he replied to some OF
the most famous men of the Caro-
linas and overthrow them in de-
bate. the confusion of the good
landlady was something wonder
full.
Another time Mr.. Stephens
went to Cassville to speak. Il
was in the heyday Of his fame and
popularity as a stumper. Ht
stayed all night with an old mai
up in Cass, now Barlow, county
He didn't inquire the ZANE of hi
host, nor did the host know wht
the guest was. The next morning
as he told his kind entertainc.
good bye, the old man told him tina
} he would be up in Cassville afte
a while-that he was going up t
hear Stephens speak--and asked
his guest had ever seen Mr.. Ste
phens.
Mr.. Stephens replied, "Ycs,
have seen him and heard him ofte
and expect to hear him to-day.
The good farmer was very niue
astonished when, later in the da
he saw the little man, but grea
Commoner, take the stand to su:
tain the fame of perhaps the fir;
orator of the country.

ders that all the houses in the

mines will also be dug under the
palace to prevent any NihiIist

ESCoURAGING.-In an article
on the New Orleans grain route by
way of the Mississippi river, the
New York Maritime Register
INDUCES in the following redec-
tons
All hat section of the country
along the Mississippi and west of
that river, as it produces more,
will find the river route the
cheapest, and it will not seek for
an outlet on the Eastern seaboard
when it can find a more advantage
Gus one at the mouth of the river.
And it follows quite naturally
that, if the exports select this route
in preference to others, the imports
will follow them. We are glad
to see the success Of this route,
for the growth Of such routes
indicates additional facilities fol
shipments, and greater ability
to hold and increase our trade
abroad. What has been said o.
this route may be said Of others.

We are very glad to see that Judge Bake
we'll, one of the Judges OF the Court OF
Appeala, is growing more youthful as bis stay
in our ozone-charzsd atmosphere is prolonged.
The Judge has greatly improved his villa.
perhaps Mrs. B. should have much OF this
credit.) 1t is situated where fine view OF the
surrounding mountains is had. The fact that
Judge Bakewell (who is one OF the ablest and
most hard. working Judges on our appellate
bench) can spend his vacations in this health
full locality, is worth thousands OF dollar;
every year to our State, in the increased work
he is thereby enabled to perform. If oul
Supreme Court Judges could be induced t.
come down here and spend their vacations
| the State would probably get little NOR
| work out OF that august tribunal.
The Judge has a charming family, whose
members add greatly in every way to ou
| community.
