Garrison Is Lonely Place, But There Are Times
When The Natives Find It Lively Enough

too busy to help entertain him, and the
four hours wait hangs heavy upon
his hands. He strolls across the river
to the Economically situated booze dis
pensary, and, perhaps, samples the
goods sold there. If he does it is not
to be wondered at. Four hours wait
at Garrison would drive any man to
drink. 1t is the terrible loneliness OF
it all. The baggage man has troubles
of his own and cannot attend to the
entertainment of waiting passengers
The ticket agent has his hands full
with his ordinary duties. The telegraph
operator has answered so many ques-
tons as to the time of the prospective
to be sociable. The waiting passenger
is left to himself, and then he finds
time to ponder over the problem of
why the name of the town is printed in
big, black letters. He ponders over the
question for an hour and then goes
across the rustic bridge that leads to
the rustic gin mill. Then he wonders
about something else. So the time
passes. 1t goes as slow as the train
he is waiting for. He kicks himself
for ever having wanted the train to be
late so that he could see the town. He
has seen so much of it and has seen
that much so many times that it is in

pack a theater at any time. The
chorus girls skip about as gay as chill
dren out of school. The younger of
the male performers frisk with them,
as happy as anybody. All of the games
of the playground at school are in
dulged in, with such improvements
and additions as are suggested by the
stage experience of the participants.
The station platform is filled with an
interested crowd of other passengers,
who applaud the brilliant plays and
encourage the performers to renewed
effort.
Landlord Smith of the Garrison hotel
had his life shortened about six years
the other day by the frolics of a group
of girls of one Of these companies that
was making an enforced stay at CARR
son. The girls had climbed to the top
of the steep hill that rises just back
of the hotel They began their fun by
rolling small boulders down the steep
bank, and their success at this sport
induced them to try larger rocks. They
found that the large rocks were larger
fun, and when one of these rolling
stones accidentally struck against the
back side of the hotel the terrible rack
ct suggested that it would be a good
scheme to steer the projectiles directly
against the tavern of Smith. This was
tried and the success was phenomenal.
Smith thought that an earthquake had
struck his place, and rushed out to see
if the mountain had tipped over, With
him went a number of men who had
been in the hotel when the rock struck

When the traveller upon the railway,
coming from the South en- route to the
coast, looks at the map in his railway
guide, he sees the name Garrison in
big black letters. He pictures in his
mind, if this is his first trip by way
of the celebrated junction point a
large and flourishing town, and regrets.
perhaps, that his guide tells him that
he has but few minutes to spend there
before the arrival of the train that is
ern Pacific. He is sorry because he
would like to see the town. 1t must
be an important one because of those
big black letters that the railway COM
map. Railway companies do not waste
ink unless there is something to justify
the action. And SO the traveller spins
down through the Deer Lodge valley,
lamenting that his impressions of Gar
rison will of necessity be derived from
the f1eeting glimpse that he can get of
the place as he looks from the plat
form of the railway station while he is
which he is assured by the timecard
will be ready for him as soon as he
gets his baggage across the wide plat
form at the station.
his train announces that Garrison is

plates of his mental camera. When
his train pulls along he has probably
reached a comatoSe condition and
doesn't care whether it ever comes or
not. These visits across the rustic
bridge sometimes result that way.
But there are times when the hours
of waiting pass pleasantly at Garrison
and when the walters wish that the
train would be even later than it is.
Those occasions are when there is
pany waiting, too. Then Garrison is
a gay place. There is comic opera and
farce comedy scattered all around the
place and the continuous performance
than any OF the performances that the
companies give at regular stands.
From the time that the chorus girls,
the soubrettes, the acrobats the tenors
and the speciality men learn that they
have several hours of their own they
start in to give the town a rudy hue,
and if they do not succeed it is not for
lack of earnest effort.
Between the railway and the river
there is a nice bit of meadow land
that stretches out as level and grassy
as a lawn. Here is the play ground
where the performance is given by the
happy burlesquers. The acrobatic
feats that are performed here would

being approached, he looks out to see
the suburbs of the town. He sees. that
he has been buncoed by the timecard
and his surprise at the limited extent
of the place is so great that he forgets
to wonder why the railway company
employed those big black letters in
naming the town on the map. He is
glad now that his train connection is
to be close. He does not longer regret
that he cannot stroll about the town
for an hour or so. He is glad that
things are as they are.
Then he gets to Garrison and his feel
ings change again. He was glad and
now he is sorry. He was rejoicing and
now he mourns. He has learned that
the main line train is four hours late
and he will have ample time to see all
he wants of Garrison. Not that Garri-
son is not a prettily located place.
There are few more delightful spots.
The broad sweep of the valley above,
the abrupt bluffs, rising steeply to the
north, the attractive bend in the river
as 1t flows past the place-all these are
calculated to make the place pleasant.
Then the girls at Garrison are pretty.
Ihere are not many of them, but they
are all right. He sees them at the
lunch counter and at the hotel across
the track and admires their splendid
health and pretty faces, but they are

who are sad and melancholy. Such a
one was in the company that was rep
resented by the rock-rollers. She had
symptoms of a broken heart or some
other complaint that induces an insati
able thirst. She crossed the rustic
bridge to the Economically situated gin
mill and there proceeded to slack the
aforesaid thirst with red liquor and a
creell-water chaser. When she found
that single drinks cost Is cents and that
two cost only a quarter, she changed
her system. Whenever she went across
the bridge after that first trip she went
into one of the quiet little rooms in the
back of the saloon and sat down. Then
she ordered two drinks and-drank them
both. She saved ) cents by this meth
cd and slaked her thirst in more sat
isfactory manner. She was all alone,
and the grief that was gnawing at her
heartstrings continued to gnaw harder
the more she drank. That. too is said
to be characteristic of the goods dis
pensed at this pretty little building in
the grove.
The girl had a lot of quarters, for
she was able to continue the trips
across the bridge for the entire period
of the stay of the company at Garrison.
She went alone. She did not seem to
want company. All that she wanted
was whskey. And she got a lot OF it.
This was one of the days that waiting
passengers forgot to complain about
the delay, and Garrison will be pleas
ant recollection to most of them, They
did not even stop to wonder why the
name Garrison was in black letters on
the map.

back of the house with a jar that rat
tied all of the windows and broke
some of them. Smith rushed around the
corner of his house and saw what was
the matter. He shouted to the gay
girls to desist, but was politely re-
quested to go chase himself. Another
rock was started down the hill straight
for Smith. He got out of the way just
in time, but he renewed his shouts of
warning. Then his companions joined
their voices with his and the chorus
assembled the hills, but the rocks came
down all the faster. Then the railway
men came out. The rocks were rolling
toward the track and the coal chutes
We're in danger. All of this was fun
for the girls and the rocks came rolling
down larger and faster. 1t was good
exercise and the girls enjoyed the dis
comfiture of the Smith party.
1t was beginning to look serious for
the hotel. The men at the foot of the
hill attempted to climb up and com
pei the girls to stop, but a big rock
that came rolling down the path caused
precipitate retreat. Then the Smith
party and the railway men Joined
forces, and, by making wide detour.
succeeded in getting behind the girls,
who. seeing that they would soon be in
trouble, started one more boulder down
the decliyity and then took TO their
heels down the path. The hotel was
saved but the landlord had had an eS-
perience that will lead him to station
sentinels when the next comedy COM
pany lays over in his town.
But all of the girls are not hilarious.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS ASSOCIA-
TlON.

- During the convention of the North
Carolina editors at Carolina Beach
recently meeting was held and
preliminary steps taken toward the
organization of q Democratic Press
Association. The importance of such
an organization is evident. Speaking
of this matter the Winston Sentinel
says:
I'VE hope the steps taken at the
recent session of the North Carolina
Press Association to organize Demo-
cratic Press Association will be
followed to elimination of the
purpose in view. Such an organiza-
ton will prove of value to the party
and should also result in benefit to
the editors Of the Democratic press.
AS rule, the politicians go off duty
as soon as campaign has ended and
remain at rest until the call is
sounded for another contest. Not so
with the partisan editor. He watches
while the army rests and gives the
alarm of approaching dangers-his
duties are perpetual, and hence it is
important that these sentinels upon
the watch towers should be equipped
with the advantages that accrue
from organization. Let the North
Carolina Democratic Press Associa-
tion be orgaized as early as practi-
cable. so that the Democratic press
may be the better prepared to cham
pion the peoples interests in the
stupendous conflict that must be
fought next year"

Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
Cures When All Others
Fail.

In April, 1898, my little girl was
fearfully burned by her clothes catch
ing fire; her whole face was terribly
burned. We he had but little hopes
of her recovery by its yielding to
medical treatment to the extent Of
being apparently cured, but in a
short time the sores would break out
and become red and infamed and
perfectly raw. We tried different
treatments for three months and
then determined to try Mrs. Joe Per-
sons remedy in August. At that
time she had sores as large as silver
dollar and she suffered terribly. She
was so restless she could get no
sound sleep and was not able to eat
any solid food or grease of any kind
at all. Her condition was pitable,
Her mouth was burned so it was per-
fectly raw as far down the throat as
we could see. After commencing the
remedy in August she soon got so
she could eat solid food or anything
she wanted. Could sleep we'll at
night and the sores soon entirely
healed. She had not taken a bottle
before they healed and she has been
well ever since, tho badly SCARED
from tie burn. I have used it myself
for indigestion and cannot say too
much in its praise. My little girl
loved to take it and craved il, and
the effect was apparent at once. We
use it as family medicine for our
children. and it always gives satisfac=

Fair Treatment.

The press of North Carolipa de-
sired fair libel law--or the present
law changed in order to give papers
fair chance when they made un-
intentional errors. In this matter
the press of North Carolina was treat
ed with abominable discourtesy.
There is growing determination OF
the part of the press, not only in this
State. but the press at large, to de-
mand fair treatment, and by the
eternals. they are going to succeed.
The politicians will sooner or later
learn that conscientious press will
no longer consent to be the hewers Of
~ooq and drawers OF water. and they
burn the wood and drink the
water" as editor Whitaker Of the

cause it is deserved. If it had not
been Mr.. Guthrie would not have

surprised to hear Of his great popu-
laritv at home. Lieutenant-Colonel
Craig is very much on the order of
the Colonel-Iuiet, genteel, firm and

sation as a lady. Majors Jones and
Winston impressed all who came in
contact with them as the right men
in the right place who worthily sus-
| tanned the character Of their chiefs.
Every Captain seemed to take special
pride in his men, and from the de-
pertinent of these officers, whether in
camp, on the drill grounds. or in
social intercourse, one could under
stand why there were such perfect
discipline and good feeling all through
the regiment.
OF the men, let me say what one
Of our most cultured ladies said:
