THAT LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS
Senator Vance Gives u Version of the
History of the Expression.

Senator Vance Gives u Version of the
History of the Expression.
In the olden times of our Statehood, be-
fore the steam-engine bullied the earth,
when whisky with sugar was five cents a
glass and all backs were turned as that
glass was filled. and when a white man
was considered as good as the negro if he
behaved himself, the Governor of North
Carolina took it into his head one DAY to
pay lOng-promised visit to his neighbor,
the Governor of South Carolina. So he
put clean shirt and a pair Of socks in his
saddIebags, mounted his horse and rode
away through the pine forests toward the
south. Diligently following his nose in
this direction he came in due time to the
home of his brother Governor, where he
was received with all the honors of genu-
inc Southern hospitality. When asked
how he felt his characteristic reply was:
"Thank you, Governor, am tired,
sleepy. hungry and sober"
The latter cordially assured him that
he could remedy all these.
The next day dinner was served at u
o'clock, as the horn blew for the hands to
come in. Alter it was over the two Gov
ernors retired to the shade OF the long
back porch, where corncob pipes, with
long twists Of homegrown tobacco.
awaited them. There, i'll the long, soft
afternoon, reclining on easy bottom
rockers, they lolled and smoked and
talked the hours away. Betwixt the
twain, on the floor. sat brimming
pitcher of apple-toddy, the mellow,
roasted fruit floating on the surface of the
divine tipple. From time to time this
aided and enliyened the conversation.
They talked Of the comparative excel
Iences and advantages of their respective
States, of the price of cotton, of horse rais-
ing and runaway negroes; as they talked
they smoked, and as they smoked they
drank. They speculated on the coming
glories Of the country, they pledged eter-
nal friendship to each other personally,
and vowed TO preserve all neighborly
eourtesies between the two Carolina
States forever ana forever, amen! Now
and then they would doze in their easy
chairs, under the mellow influences of
their happy surroundings. and on wax
ing up Indignantly deny having been
asleep and take another drink to prove
their wakefulness. And thus things
went on, according To Senator Vance,
writing in the Chattanooga Times.
Now it happened that the Governor of
South Carolina had wife-as ali good

OF the old maxim that he who aspires TO
govern should first learn to obey-and
her name was Betsy Jane. she we'll
knew the falling Of her Governor, and
she easily guessed that the visiting Gov
ernor was tarred with the same stick.
Quietly watching proceedings she at
length concluded that these two old cocks
were about as full as they could well hold
without stopping oyer. and 1t was time to
stop. Watching her opportunity during
rather protracted doze, she slipped
away the pitcher, still half full, and in-
serted in its place piggin OF cool spring
water, with clear, yellow gourd hang
ing on the handle.
Though sound asleep, the Governor of
North Carolina felt that something was
wrong. Every nerve in him cried out
against the presence Of a hostile element,
and be awoke. His perturbed soul had
not deceived him. The pitcher of toddy
was gone. He Immediately awakened
his host, who courteously inquired;
J "Wh IS the natter" Don't you see
what is the matter?" said the guest look
ing Indignantly at the piggin and the
gourd. Indeed, l see nothing wrong"
said the now distressed host. "Please
tell me what is the matter, my dear Gov
ernor." The devil you say! Nothing
wrong, indeed? / go to sleep with
pitcher of toddy before me, l wake up
ana find a piggin of spring water, anu
the Governor of South Carolina tells me
in his own house that he sees nothing
wrong in that. Well. well! All | have
TO say. SIR" said the Governor OF North
Carolina, rising with a very great but
rather unsteady dignity, lis that 1t IS "a
long time between drinks" "Oh," said
the Governor OF South Carolina, as the
situation flashed on him, II see; that's
Betsy Jane. She means stop, and we're
done for the day. Pm sorry l can't
bring that pitcher back. L humbly beg
your pardon, Governor, but maybe there
is Betsy Jane at your house, and maybe
you know how it is yourself" The
offended dignity of the Governor OF
North Carolina dissolved slowly into
genial smile of Intelligent comprehen-
sion, and, solemnly winking one eye, he
fell either upon the neck of his host or
upon the porch floor, tradition does not
say Notwithstanding: You bet, OLD
boy; you bet"
And that's how it came about. Through
out all that Southern land tradition has
wickedly repeated and kept alive the
saying of the Governor Of North Carolina
as convenient mode of jogging the
| memory or stimulating the tagging hos
pitaIity of o host. but has failed to en-
balm in human memory the righteous
prudence and wifely virtue of Betsy Jane.
the spouse OF the Governor OF South Caro-
lima.
For near on to one hundred years the
saying has been faithful one, and worthy
OF all acceptation in our country; that IS
TO say, it has been faithfully repeated all
! that time, and anything offered in re-
sponse thereto has been universally ac-
cepted, either straight or with sugar.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

For the past week the attention of the
civilized world has been concentrated on
New York harbor, where ten of the
greatest nations of the world have dis
played their best specimens of naval
architecture. The interest therein was
of an intense but warlike kind, for, while
the vessels were assembled in honor of
the discovery of America by Columbus
and the celebration was, as it were, a
continuation of like assemblage at
Palos, Spain, last year, the chief inter-
est of the nations participating lay in the
opportunities afforded for learning by
comparison the respective naval STRENGTH
or weakness of one another.
This week, however, the nations will
turn their eyes toward Chicago, where
another and better type of international
display will be exhibited. On Monday
the doors of the Worlds Fair will be
thrown open to the public and chance
afforded to see what progress, not only
the leading nations, but all the races of
the earth have made, not in the art of
destroying one another, but in the
healthful arts of peace. The visitor who
for the first time enters the precincts of
the Exposition grounds will not be con-
fronted mainly by guns whose single dis
charge would destroy what it has taken
years of labor and millions of expense to
build up, although guns will be seen
there. But on every hand he will see
evidences of what his brother-man has
accomplished toward self-betterment,
how he lives, what he does, and the
sight cannot fail to draw him toward the
rest of his kind. 1t is by isolation that
nations beget prejudices that lead to
their own hurt. By coming together
they learn to appreciate one another's
struggles toward the height of human
development and learn to entertain char
ity for those things which, seen at a dis
lance, engender dislikes.
Siuce the first international EXPOSE
ton in Hyde Park, London, 1851, this
form of industrial rivalry has grown in
proportion and in excellence. In those
held subsequently at Dublin, 1853; in
France, 1855; in Belgium, 1851; at Lon
don, 1862; at Paris in 1867, 1878 and 1899:
at Vienna, in 1873; at Philadelphia, in
1876 and at Sidney and Melbourne in 1879
and 1880 respectively, they have shown
an increasing magnifcence and their re-
suits in diffusing love of industry and
peaceful pursuits, as well as a better
knowledge of conducting the same, and
generous emulation among all nations
of the globe are to be seen in the very
fact that each succeeding exhibition ex-
cells the others.
The naval parade and review may well
serve to afford a contrast to the peaceful
scenes that this week introduces. From
dewing warlike ornaments people will
turn to behold the implements and pro-
ducts of peace. By this means they will
the sooner learn to despise warliks
things and so hasten the time when,
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war any more"
