CHARLEsTON's PosToFFlcE.
A Quaint and Ancient Structure With an
Interesting History.


"Among the quaint old structures Of
Charleston our old postoffioe building
takes the lead in historic interest,"" said
James S. Murdoch, a leading wholesale
merchant of the Carolina metropolis. Mr..
Murdoch is here with a delegation Of his
townsmen to ask congress to make u mod
est appropriation SO as to donate the
aforesaid antique to the city.
"The old postoffice," said he, "was
built of brick imported from England in
1907 under the direction of committee of
the colonial assembly. Its leading men,
bers were John Rutledge, Henry Laurens
and Thomas Lynch, who later took a
prominent part in the formation Of the re-
public, and whose names will be found
among the signers of the Declaration Of
Independence During the occupation Of
Charleston by the British it was used as u
prison and between go and 20 of the best
citizens were confined there before their
removal to st. Augustine Fla. In the
number was Colonel Isaac Haynes Of the
celebrated family of that name. In re-
venge for the execution of Major Andre
Haynes was led out from prison and suf-
fered the death penalty by order of Colonel
Balfour, then in command, without the
formality Of trial.
"In 1890, when General Washington
visited Charleston, it was in this same old
building that he was entertained, and q
splendid ball was given in his honor by
the wealthy planters of the state, cooper
ating with the town people. With such
historic associations surrounding 1t, our
people naturally take deep interest in
their old postoffice, and the idea is to keep
il i'm its original condition as q sacred
memento of the past. "-Washington Post.

The story Is told that on one occasion tho

party there, and with characteristic frank
ness expressed his views on sandwiches:
"Don't like those dry things" said Lord
Tennyson to the footman as he held the
dish. You need not DO so rude, replied
a lady sitting beside him. "This Is the
FIRST time knew Il was rude to speak your
