a High-Priced Wink.

A writer in Golden Days tells ga true
story" of one Mr.. Blank, who occupied
IL confidential position in a great rail
way corporation. 1t was rumOred that
the company was about to assume
charge of languishing railroad. If so.
the stock of the latter would rise i'll
price.
Now one bold speculator-Or opera
tor, as they are called in brokers' par
lance-was an intimate friend of Mr..
Blank.
After long reflection, he came to the
conclusion that the best thing he could
do waste call on Mr.. Blank, ask in con-
tidence for some definite information on
the subject, and offer to share with Mr..
Blank the profits of any venture that he
might make on "points' given him.
This he did.
''Mr. Blank said he, '.if knew that
the transaction which it is rumOred is
about to take place in few days were
really to occur, | could, by buying up
the stock of the company that is now In
the market, make both you and myself
rich men. Can you not, by a word, say
whether the rumOr will be realized OF
not?"
81 cannot say,n Mr.. Blank replied.
"But word" the broker persisted ;
sit shall be share and share alike"
81 cannot say" Mr.. Blank repeated,
as before.
"You need not speak, then" the bro
ker said, excitedly. Lift your arm,
nod your head, lift your eyebrows"
81 cannot said Mr.. Blank, as calmly
as possible.
''Do you not understand your own
interests ?" the broker put forth hotly.
''Mr. Blank, you are poor man Now
if you will only heed me, you may be-
come a itch man in a day. Are these
reports true? ? If so l can clear three
hundred thousand at a stroke The halt
of that sum shall be yours. | do not
ask you for a word you need not open
your mouth. Only wink your eye! 1t
is possible for you to make one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, sir, simply
by winking the eyew
How vast a sum to Mr.. Blank, who
though entrusted with grave secrets
was still only a clerk, receiving but 8
moderate salary!
He was staggered for a moment, but

ton he feared to take the great risk
which always attend specializing in the
dark, and did not invest any of hi
money. In few days, however, tn,
whole matter was settled. The grea

Somewhat abashed, but still unreconciled
To silent ignorance, paused blush'd and then

To which last question, vaiuly more than once
Reiterated, not the least response

The world is full of winking and
squinting-of signs and grips and cheats
and ciphers and hypOcracies, and man
can make himself rascal by wink or
a nod as well as by a forgery or false
hood. Thank the Lord an honest man

about it; and man who sells his winks
for money may find that he has sold his
reputation and his soul also, and has
made poor bargain, even if he has re-

TOO MANY LAWYERS AND TOO
HANY FEES.

The rock that the legal profession
are in most danger or coming 70
wreck on is that Of excessive charges.
There is u continual low growing in
the community oil this subject.
1t is notorious that the charges are
altogether out Of proportion to the
time given, the work given or the
consideration received, and all kinds
of vcNatious obstacles are thrown in
the way OF any who seek to effect a
reform III this respect. The fact is,
tiiat the ranks of the legal professinn
arc ovcrc. ON ded anil are being added
to year ny year to an extent which
the public interests by no means re
quirc. Yet the cxclusivencss that
obtains with regards to methods of
procedure, and the stringent rules
imposed upon all the members Of the
craft, prevent that wholesome com
petition which exists in all other
trades. The consequence is that the
public are robbed, and that com
paratively few ofthe members or the
legal profession obtain for themselves
the chief portion of the spoil, while.
the great bulk ofthcm struggle on as
best they can. Our legal exchan scs
are filed with discussions on law
yers costs. The community arc
hound to have cheepcr justice, if
they can.-AUany Times.

Many here with sad hearts fol-
lowed his remains to their last rest

to the qnict grave in Orangeburg

zens of Charleston who knew him in
MS young manhood AMI pride, will
likewise heavc sigh anil deeply
meurn the dcatl. Of this gentleman. n.
expressly those of the lEda Fire
CompanY who can remember him
while anofiicer of that Company. and
who by devotion to duty while in the
Fire Department comparatively
wrecked his health. While Mr..
Richards loved his old home in the
"City:by the Sea- unhappy calami-
ties preventing him returning after

idingin Orangeburg County. where
he leaves family, many relatives
and large concourse Of friends, who,
Willie they arc sad at his removal
from among them, love and
reverence his memory.
