therefore, that the world il growing

away at young hopeful hut missed her
aim and struck the young lady, and
then we'll never mind, We will go on
with our evidence. We wrrc told that
two on three young men who were out
sparkling not long ago passed by n
church, and upon hearing Il strange
Noise inside the building they lit ont
towards every point Of the compass,
only touching the ground in high
places. 1t is said that they only ran
because they couldn't ly. Again: Two
young mon called on two young ladies'
and were having quito an ENJOYABLE
time. Poor dcludcd mortals; they no
doubt Thought the world was growing
better, but the old man evidently
thought otherwise, for hc came around
and badc the young ladies retire kindly
rcmarkiuG that he would entertain tho
young men the balance Of tho evening.
He did, but he didn't long. And arain:
\ certain young man who was trying
to take an afternoon snoozc was iutcr-
ruptcd by friend who handed him n

With TIRE milling limbs he read tho am

The Charleston Post says that the
Beckrogc trunk has in reality proven II
Pandora's box. And SO it has The
Post speaking OF this says:
The story of randora's box is one Of
the most interesting OF the legends of
the Greek mythology Jupiter packed
the beautiful Pandora in n box, and
along with her put In Il iinc assortment
Of diSea cs, pestilcncr, famine and a
lot of other things to cause trouble
These he sent to l'romrthcus. This
gentleman never got the chest. howcv-
cr, but Epimethcus fixed his claws up-
on it and proceeded to apprOpriatr the
contents, particularly Pandora. This
was all veiy nice, but tho choice ns-
sortmcnt Of troubles camc out Of the
box with the lady, and f.pimcthcus
caught little taste Of pluto's realm.
This myth teaches that curiosity is n
dangerous thing and that when You
appropriate to yourself another man 5
trunk, or chest, YOU must expect some
tr0nhle to ovcrtakc you, no mnttcr how
delicious the contents of the chest up-
pear when first they are tasted. And
this applies particularly to sweet things
such as women and peaches.
Now in Mr.. Bcckrogc's trunk ship
ped from Savannah there were packed
according to Mr.. Bcckroge 5 statement,
the following articles:
l pair shoes.
gallons whiskcy.
dozen oranges.
8 cans peaches.
500 cigars.
2 bottles malt whiskcy.
Lot Rhine, Catawba and Port vino.
This was n very nice lay out. but
the unpacking was different. Some .Iu-
piter must have got in his fine work
before the trunk was shipped. There
came out of tho trunk tho articles cnu-
merated, 1t is true, but much more be-
side. So far there have appeared to
view:
The Garris purchase"
The Scruggs peach feast.
The CASTOR smoker.
The "Dear Clark" letter.
The arrest Of two officials.
Malfeasancc.
Bribery.
Corruption.
Peculation.
It will be soen that pretty good
brood OF trouble was hatchcd while
that trunk was in transit between Sa.
vannah and Columbia. What effect
the pestilence will have on the great
MORAL linstitution remains to be seen.
