The Snring of Life.
From the LincoInsoa CGaJ Nsvs.

There is a certain spring in Lincoln
county, whose waters bear the reputation
Of renewing and prOlonging life. 1t is
said that no person that ever lived on the
place and drank Of lis waters was ever
known TO die there. The place is
at present occupied by q couple OF colored
persons, husband and WIFE And from
the best info nation we can CLEAN the
woman is at least i2j years old, and while
bedridden from age bids fair to live for
years 10 come. The owners of the place
believe that the teRacity with which the
old woman clings to life 10 due TO the
waters OF the above spring. Can it be
possible that the spring Of lie which De-
Soto and his followers sought, and looked
for in vain, is located in Lincoln county ?

An interesting and remark able case,

renter named Smith, who claims 70 be a
Spaniard, but is regarded and
treated az full-blOOded negro,
having every appearance Of being one.
Before her marriage to Smith the woman
was a widow ana had number
OF children who are pure white. These
children. however. regard Smith as their

knowing Sullivan. he opened the doors
and the party went in. They sat at the
table for some time and drAns couple
of bottles of wine They had evidently
had some before coming TO the hotel. and
they lelt the effects OF it pretty strongly.
As they sat there dispute arose about
some point or other which did not un>

bet 500 that he was right. "Oh, come
off, said Mccoy, you haven't got 500"
voice as he rose from the table. '11l show
you I've got money. See here" and quick
as wink he drew magnificent gold
watch from his vest pocket, released 1t
from the guard, and threw it with his
whole strength against the partition which
separates the wine room from the hotel
lobby. 1t sounded like bullet from
gun as it struck the woodwork. on course
the watch was ruined. That was sam

which he frequently made in those days.

the bar. And after the bottle had been
emptied the young man deliberately
picked it up and sent it crashing through
a magnificent French mirror which filed
the whole wall back of the bar. Then he
drew his check book from his pocket,
signed blank, and before the proprietor
had time to show anger, asked him how
much he should fill it out for That break

caster, offered a fervent prayer in behalf Of

Some of the members of the committee
on platform anticipate a lively time over
some of the planks handed in for adoption.
James Black, of Lancaster, has written a
platform which will be submitted to the
convention 1t is substantially as follows:
IL declares in favor of prohibition at the
outset ami regards the sale OF liquor simply
as a special privilege, subject to revocation
when the welfare OF society demands such
action. 1t opposes the view that the liquor
interest Is a vested interest because of this
special privilege.
1t demands of congress that no revenue
tax shall he collected for the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the states where pro-
hibitory laws have been enacted, but are
not complied with. 1t denounces the high
license doctrine, maintaining that liquor
sold under license rate of 81 CO.. is as in
furious III its effects that sold under a
license of 500 1t denounces the Repub-
lican submission plank as evasion of the
prohibition question
