II Is said that a single glass OF wine pro-
baby wrecked the Democratic party in
1860 The story Is worth telling After
the breaking up OF the National Democrat
ic convention at Charleston the party in
Georgia held state convention. Great
excitement prevailed. The leaders of the
party could not agree. 1t was criucal
period.
The majority report Endorsed the sece-
ders or boilers al Charleston. while the
minority report opposed their action The
leading champion OF the minority was
Herschel v Johnson, and his followers
were confident that his elOQuence and logic
would carry the day.
1t is quite likely that such would have
been the case but Tor an unfortunate mis-
hap. Ex-Governor johnson began his
speech before the noon adjournment on
the second day, and concluded after din
utr.
Old men who remember That speech say
that 1t was a powerful argument. and the
impression gained ground that alter the
noon recess the speaker would demOish
his opponents with a few sleuge- hammer
blows
But the over-conhdent friends of the
minority report were doomed 10 disapOiut-
meut Johnson felt the strain of the
morning session so much that ne was un-
able TO eat anything, and he took a glass
OF wine upon an empty stomach to
strengthen himself This was a fatal mis-
take. That one glass OF wine perhaps
changed the destiny OF the nation
The great orator resumed hs speech

hazy, verbose and unintelligible at times
His style ana argument lacked vigor, con
sstency and positiveness. His friends

TIE woMEE's RELIEF CORP ACTS
To Aid the Soldiers.

The women's Relief Corp held a spe-
cial called meeting at the residence OF
the passed President. Catherine Bur
nette and the following resolution was
adopted.
As it has heretofore been our object
to assist the Union veterans that need
our protection, and TO extend needful
aid to their widows and orphans, we
think it no more than right that in or
der to attain true allegiance to the
United States and to incite patriotism
among our children and the commuui-
ty in which we live, we should ask all
Of the colored soldiers wives, mothers
and daughters, to come and take q part
in our Relief Corp.
1t is now deemed necessary to 90 to
work at once to solicit aims for the
soldier boys who are in camp a few
miles below the city; and to make the
work more successful we should ask all
OF their wives, mothers and daughters
to take part with us. This move
will not only gain new members, but
will strengthen us and make us one Of
grandest orders in eyes of the nation
Our erder will not only be restricted
to attending TO old veterans, widows
and orphans but also to the wives,
mothers and child zen of ths soldiers of
the war now pending between our
country and Spain.
Oi course the coIored soldiers OF our
city have not as yet moved from where
they are in camp, but, in order to be in
tins we should start at once. We
want the movement now on foot to
reach all loyal women's ears. Let the
patriotic women OF our order still con-
tinue and incr ease their efforts in this
direction and not only remember the
old boys who fought under the old fl lg
in the civil war, but also turn our at
tention to the soldier boys OF to-day
Our Relief Corp can for the time be.
ing shoulder new responsibilities and
as 'ume new duties. without for a mo-
ment neglecting the sacred duties for
which our order was founded. duties
which constitute the cornerstone of
the greatest women's orga nization in
the world.

ten what kind of sugar be was sent for.
So he took home pound of the granu-
lated article. His elder sister sent him
back to the store to get lump sugar.
After the proprietor of the grocery shop
had made the change for the little lad
he engaged Tommie in conversation.
"Tommie," said he, at understand
there is new member Of your family. -
Yes, SIR" replied the kid, ''I've
