in the contest they were overwhelm
ingly defeated, and p large majority o.
the members were committed by their
constituents to prohibition. Partisan
Ieeling then ran very high, and Gov
Tillman had announced his intention
to sign any bill the General Assem bly,
should pass regulating the liquor traf.
nc. We believe that majority of the
members felt that prohibition was im.
practicable, and would prove failure,
but they pledged their people to obey
their commands as recorded at the
ballot-boS, and the voters had decided
on prohibition.
Mr.. Roper, afterwards private Sec
retary for Senator Butler, had pre-
pared very lengthy prohibition bill
ot the strictest character, and it went
through the House like flash aud was
sent to the Senate, where it would
have assuredly been made u law.
We had seen, while living in Geor-
gta, prohibition tried, and knew that
IL would DO anything else than pro-
hibit. We urged some of the leading
teformers to let the thing alone, aud
adopt high license, with strict police
surveillance over barrooms, with no
sales to bo made alter suudown, the
license to be divided between the
tow and county equally. We believed
that this compromise could have been
effected, but the members from some
OF our large cities would not hear to
any division of the license fees with
tho country, and neither would they
consent to restricting the number of
hours. We stated to q lea ing Re-
former that did this Legislature bass
the Roper bill it would be farewell to
the Farmers Movement, for the next
contest in our State would be fought
on the limo of Liquor VS.. Prohibition,
aud there wouldn't be enough OF the
Reform movement left to wad q gun
with.
Seeing that no compromise would
be made, we wrote to Hon. e. @. Tuck,
mayor of Athens, Ga, to send us at
once u copy OF their dispensary act.
1e did so, together with bound vol
umo containing anumber of laws en-
acted in that State to regulate liquor
rms book we presented to the State,
and it is probably now in the library
in Columbia.
we Carried this law to Gov. Tillman,
VINO seemed impressed with it. He
mad conference with Hon. John Gary
Evans, then in the State Senate from
Aiken County, and the result was the
withdrawal of the Roper prohibition
bill and the substitution of our present
dlspensary law.
VIII le the bill was on it's final read
ing in the Senate, we called Senator
Evans into the rotunda, and told him
to take his knife and cut all of that red
tape from around his bill and simplify
1T that there was no necessity for the
constable feature, for if the State went
into the liquor business she must ex-
pect to compete with outsiders. Sena-
tor Evans partially agreed with our
views, but remarked that the bill was
a comp"c2:,,isa they had tc make with
the prohibitionists in the Legislature
and to amend the same would be
equivalent to IT'S defeat.
We'll, the bill passed, and is now a
law in South Carolina.

THE WOUNDED CONFEDERATE

Gen. Grant Refused to Take the
Chair of an Injured Prisoner.
The following story is narrated by
Gen. Horace Porter, in his story
Campaigning with Grant," published
in the Century Magazine
While riding about tho field Gen.
Grant stopped at house and express
ed desire to prepare somo dispatch
es. A number of wounded were lying
upon the porch and in the rooms they
had made their way there in accord
ance with the usual custom of wound
cd men to seek house. 1t seems to
be natural instinct, as a house con-
veys the idea of shelter and of home.
[ walked with tho general into q back
room to see whether there was a dry
spot which he might take possession
OF for short time, to write messages
and look over the maps.
AS we entered there was seen sitting
In the only chair a Confederate lieu
tenant of infantry, who had been shot
in the left cheek, tho ball passing
through his mouth and coming out
near the right ear. A mass of coagu-
lated blood covered his face and neck
and he presented shocking appear
ance. He arose the moment we en-.
tered, pushed the chair forward to.
ward the general, end said, with a bow
and smile, Here, take my chair, sir
Con. Grant looked at him, and replied
" All, you need that chair much-more
than keep your seat. [ see you are
badly hurt" The officer answered
good naturedly: "If you folks let me
go back to our lines | think | ought tt
be able to get leave to go back home
and see my girl but | reckon she
wouldn't know me now" The genera
said, 81 will see that one of our sur
geons does all In his power for you,
and then stepped out OF the room. He
told one OF the surgeons who wa
| dressing the wounds Of our own mer
to do what he could for the Confeder
ate. We did not hear what became o
him afterward. He probably neve
knew that he had been talking to tn,
general In chief OF the Yankee armies
The dispatches were afterwards writ
ten In another room.

Lord for His mercies."
Yes" said my wife. "better is q
little with the fear of the Lord than

That is what Solomon says, but | want
good dinner as long as can get it,"
And Solomon added another pro-
verb" said 1, THAT just fits our case:
Better Is a dinner of herbs where

Well" said she, "there is no ne
cessity for the dinner Of herbs where
there is no hatred, hut II you wish to

The publication of the alleged de-
tails OF IL gigantc trust to control the
price OF cotton by meaDs Of round
bales, aud the adjustment Of gin
nerlcsand comprcsses all over the south
made by The Alliance organ at Raleigh
lew days ago, has brought to light
tue Tact that the mechanism by which
the round bales arc made, WAS patent
cd by Il Spartanburg county man, who,
strange To relate, H. .he real inventor
Of the Bell telephone.
This man is Thomas Nj Workman
iic is farmer and the owner Of d.
travelling saw mill. The same year
that the Bell telephone was patcntcd
MIR. Workman. then at Liurcns, 5. c.,
showed several men whose at1idavits
can now be had, the details of his in
vcntion Most OF them thought him IL
crank VIII, he talked Of transmitting
the hum oicc by means Of clectrI-
city. B.L t'v. Il. l.. Holmes, Il scholar
y and scientific gentleman, was mach
taken With the device, and urged MIR.
Workman to perfect his invention. He
opened correspondence immediately
with an electrical house in the north,
With parties in Washington and finally
fell in with Professor Alexander Gra.
ham Bell, whose letters are still in
MIR. Workman's possession. AT first
he wrote to Bell rcscrvedly in regard
TO what he had, but as further details
were desired, and nothing seemed to
promise from his repeated efforts to
engage sympathy and assistance, he
decided to make complete exposition
o! his invention, which he did, to the
man who secured the most valuable
patent on telephone.
Eight years ago MIR. Workman con
ceivcd The idea Of packing cotton in
round bales. He urged the identical
| arguments now being used by the cot
| ton exchanges and the alleged cot
ton trust. He won't so far as to invent
J and patent a press, which would tn n
| out round bale OF cotton in Unc-iiftieth
| OF the time that was required to pack
Il bale Of the usual shape, even by the
| swlitcSt presses on the market. Joe
Bailey, IL banker and capitalist, of Gin
ton, 5. c., became interested in the in
vcntiOG and bought half interest which
he still holds.
If tHG threatened trust matcrializes
Mr.. Workman may yet be of as muct
service to the cotton growers Of the
South as he has been to all who use
the Bell telephone.

WHO DIED FIRST ?-Thcre Is going
to be an interesting litigation in Now
York city over $40, 900 OF insurance on
the life OF Aaron Goldsmith taken out
ia favor OF his wife. He, his wife and
their three children were burned ito
death. His brother, Louis Goldsmith
of Chateaugay, N. Y, was appointed
administrator Of his estate by Surro-
gate Arnold on Monday. Goldsmith
left two other brothers and niece.
The question is whether Goldsmith
or his wife died first. Relatives OF his
wife contend that the money comes to
them and that the administrator OF
ncr husband will have nothing to ad-
minister upon, and they say they will
have an administrators of her estate
appointed shortly to take charge OF
the insurance money.
Counsel who have been consulted
about the case say that under common
law decisions the law would presume
that the husband, being probably stron-
ger than woman, would survive the
wife. Decisions which are pointed out
in support OF this view were cases
where Il man and woman had gone
down with a vessel. 1t was said that
there is no such case on record with
regard to II fire and that the reason
Jog applicable to drowning would not
pertain to fire. The proximity Of
each OF the persons to the advance Of
the flames, the character Of the cloth
ing they wore and their physical
characteristics it was said, would also
play their parts MoreOve", there may
be evidence given to show that the wo-
man did, in fact, survive her husband.
| Relatives OF the woman say they be-
lieve they can prove that the woman
was heard TO scream after the husband
had been apparently overcome by the
flames. New York Sun.
