TWENTY DUNKARDS WITH AN R.

Last year a party OF twenty. tive
Dunkards was en- route 10 the Gen
eral Conference, via St. Louis. No
Agent accompanied them, and a
telegram was sent to Union Depot
Passenger Agent Bonner to "meet
twenty Dunkards."
The religious education of the
telegraph operator who received
the message had been neglected.
He had never heard of the Dunk
ards, and, suppossing a mistake
had been made, he just inserted
an "r," and when Bonner received
the message it read "Meet No. 1.
Twenty drunkards aboard. Look
after them.'
Bonner was somewhat taken
aback. He did not know bnt that
an inebriate asylum had broken
loose, but any way prompt action
was necessary. The twenty drunk
ards must be desperate men or the
despatch would not have been
sent, AMI murder might have been
committed on the road.
Bonner posted Oft to Police Head
quarters, and his story did not lose
in the telling. The Chief OF Police,
alive to the exigencies of the sltua.
ton, made a special detail of ten
policemen and a patrol wagon.
The policemen we're drawn up in
a line at the depot. and intense ex'
citement prevailed among the num-
erous depot lOungers, a rumOr hay-
ing gained currency that a des'
perate band of train robbers was
on the incoming tralD.
In due time the train arrived,
but no party of registering drunk
ards alighted. The party on the
train was composed of several
plous.IoOking gentlemen with
broad. brimmed hats, who stood
around as though expecting some
one.
Bonner approached one of them
and said interrOgatively:
"Had any trouble on the road
"No, BROTHER said the gentle.
man, "none that l know of. And
now I'll ask you a question. DO
you know gentleman named
BoDnOr 7"
"Yes, l am Mr.. Bonner was the
answer"
"Wel, these brethren and my
self are Dunkards, and you were to
meet US and put us on the right
train. Didn't you get a telegram p
Bonner was completely done for.
He excused himself, and, calling
the Sergeant of Police aside, he
told him that it was all a mistake
and he and his men could go back
to headquarters. Then he disposed
of his religious friends, went
around aud cussed out the tele-
graph operator, alter which he
had to "set 'em up" for the whole
police force.

DIVIDED PALMETTO DEMOCRATS.
COLUMBIA, S. c., August IA
The Democratic state convention
remained in session all night. IL
was after midnight before perman.

Wild aud exciting scenes character
lied its proceedings.
The convention adopted the fol
lowing
Whereas evil disposed persons,
causelessly hostile to the farmers
movement, and regardless of the
fair name and credit of South Caro-.
lima, have caused to be circulated
through the press of the country
statements intended TO prejudice
the general public as to the relation
of the Democratic party to the pub
lie debt of the state; and whereas
such sinister statements, growing
out of hostile political motives, are
wholly at variance with the pur
pose of the Democratic party of the
state, and if unnoticed would create
wrong impressions and possibly do
harm and be unjust to the people
of South Carolina, therefore.
Be 1t reSolred by the Democratic
party in convention assembled,
That the debt of South Carolina as
now recognized is a public obllga'
ton of primary importance. and IN
the future, as in the past, it will
continue to have the fostering care
of the state government, and should
command the confidence of the in
vesting public.
The crisis was reached at 4;3O this
morning when the Tlllmanite ma

proposition for primary election 70

nominating convention.
The straightout faction OF the
convention, consisting of Charles
ton, Columbia, Beaufort, George,
town and Sumpter delegations-o2
delegates in all-withdrew from the
convention, proceeded to another
hall, and organized and appointed
committee to draft an address to
the people of the state.
The TIllman convention mean
time elected a new Democratic
state executive committee and adj
lourned sine die at $50. The
straightout party will refuse to
recognize the new executive COM
mittee and act altogether indie
pendently of the Tillmanite body.
They will elect delegates to a NOM
mating convention to be held Sep
TENDER 10, and place straightOut
ticket IN the field. Thus the ex-
pected split in the South Carolina
democracy is an accomplished fact.

IGNORANCE OR WORSE.

The Misrepresentation which
the low tariff speakers and news
papers continue to make concern
ing the proposed tariff law are
simply inexcuseable, whether they
be the result of ignorance (of which
by the way, the average free trader
has an abundant supply 0r of a
deliberate intention to deceive.
We might mention a dozen or
more instances IN which they have
persistently misrepresented plain
facts in regard to this bill, but we
Will only mention two.
LIST. They have loudly and con.
tinuOusly asserted that the McKin-
ley bill proposes to add to the
duty on sulphuric acid to such an
extent as to cause an increase in
the price OF the fertilizers into
which that acid enters, 1cheR as a
matter Of .fdct the Mckinley bill
actudUy places such acids upon the
free list. That is, instead of in
creaslng the duty open that article,
the bill actually proposes to ad-
NIT it into this country absolutely
free of duty.
A second gross misrepresenta.
ton IN which they persist is that
labor gets little or nothing of the
profits resulting from protective
tariffs.
A few days ago Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, actually arose in his
seat in the Senate and asserted
that the cost of labor in making a
ton OF steel rails was only $l.54,
and consequently the labOrers
could not get much out of the
tariff on steel rails.
Senator platt, of Connecticut,
Immediately refuted this argument
by showing him what Senator
Pay ne, a Democrat, had told the
Senate was the actual amount of
the labor cost a ton of steel rails,
which he showed was S2L83 in a
ton costing S29.5O. This allows
S767 for ore, coke, coal, oil, gas,
clay, &c, and any one can at once
see that these items, for instance
coal, represent in part labor. Thus
labor gets S2lS3 cents instead OF
$154.
Now what are we to think of
such misrepresentation spirit
of the Valley.

THE REAL FOUNDATION.

Let All Your Efforts BE Stamped with
Honesty and Comp etency.
1t is great gain when man sees the
real foundations of success in life with
such clearness that he is no longer con-
fused or led astray by illusions. Every
conception of success which does not de.
pend on honest work intelligently and
faithfully done is an illusion; concep.
ton, that is, W hich is essentially mis-
leading and which sooner or later in
wolves disappointment or defeat. 1t is
by no means uncommon to hear men eX-
plain the success of Others by refer
ence to personal influence, claims of
friendship, luck or chance. That al
these elements at times enter into q
mans life is undeniable; but no man
ever yet won a true success or kept il
who depended on any of these things.
Friendly infu encc sometimes opens tho
door to fine position; piece of what
for lack of fuller knowledge, we cali
pure luck, sometimes brings man "a
fine opportunity; but no man can hold
the position or prove himself equal 10
the opportunity without discovering
character and capacity. In the seve, o
competition Of life, sooner or later, a
mans claims are adjudicated on the
basis of what he really is The oae
thing upon which we must all depend
for our real success is the quality of our
work. No man who holds his position
by mere tact, by the goodwill Of Others,
by friendly influence or by any of the
numerous combinations which may be
effected by skillful tactician, has any
real foothold in life; he may be swept
away in moment There will come q
time when tact will prove unequa. to
the strain of the situation, when friendly
influence will be una vailing, wien
the fortunate ombination can not be
made. He only is secure whose work
has the quality which makes it essen sial
to the success OF an enterprise. A
man whose work is stamped with Lon
esty and competency depends for his
position in life on something which IS a
part of himself, not upon extraneous
combinations of circumstances. Put
your strength into the doing of your
work and the question of stability and
success will settle itself. - Christian
