The Request of the Girls.

A curious petition was that which was
addressed in 1888 TO the Governor OF
South Carolina by sixteen maidens of
Charleston. 1t ran thus Tile hum
BILE petition of AL maids whose names
are underwritten. Whereas We, the
humble petitioners, are at present in
very melancholy disposition of mind,
considering how all the bachelors are
blindly captivated by the widows, and
we are hereby neglected; in consequence
of this, our request is that your Excel
lencv will for the future order that no
widow presume 10 marry any young man
till the maids are provided for; or else
to pay each Of them fine for satiSfac-
ton for iriyading our liberties; and like
wise fine to be levied on all such bach
elors as shall be married to widows.
The great disadvantage it is to Us maids
is that the widows, by their forward
carriage, do snap up the young men, and
have the vanity to think their merit be-
yond ours, which is great imposition
to uS, who ought TO have the preference.
This is humbly recommended 10 your
EXcellency's consideration, and hope
YOU will permit no further insults. And
we poor maids, in duty bound, will ever
pray"
The Governor Of South Carolina at the
| time this petition was made was Robert
| Johnson.

Has Made a Mistake.

We think that the General Assem-
bly, has made mistake. The bill
should, at least. have required the
contract for rent to be in writing and
recorded or indexed as at present.
The merchants here are very much
exercised about this bill and claim
that it will work hardship to all
parties interested ii farming. 1t IS
claimed that the landlord is given
too much scope without any check
whatever. Threats are made that no
supplies will be advanced to the
tenants without the landlord becom-
ing surety for them. This the land
lord will be unwilling to do. 1t is
hard to tell how this new law will
operate. We hope it will answer all
purposes, but at the same time we
have grave doubts and look for quite
revolution in the tenant system of
our Statc.-AbbcviUe Medium.

The Hot Supper

At Fallaw's Hall, Helena, New Years
night for the benefit of Miss Beulah
Greneker's school was pleasant success,
both in the supper itself and in its social
feature. The ladies of the little village,
with their usual and heayy-handed hos
pitality, assisted by several from New
berry, spread a tempting measure Of
meats, salads, pastry, ct cetera. Fish,
flesh and fowl we're temptingly and lav-
ishly served, with necessary concomi-
tants. The fowl was delicious turkey,
the flesh, roasted pork and savory ham,
while the fish was the luscious biyalves
most appctizingly stewed. The ladies
''waited'' as only ladies can, while the
gentlemen, in appreciation, looked both
happy and handsome. After the supper
there was merry, delightful dancing.
The proceeds amounted to about $50.
The supper was the outcome of Miss
Beulah's busy aid practical brain, and
the proceeds are intended to be used in
repairing the school house now used by
her, belonging to the railroad company.
She is an energetic worker, as well as
capable and conscientious teacher, and
generally accompliSheS what she under
takes.
