ONE GLASS OF WINE.

Many Think 1t Changed Course of POLL
ties In This Country.
It is said that single glass of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic par
ty in 1860. The story is worth tell
ing, says the Atlanta Constitution.
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state con-
vention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders of the party could not
agree, 1t was critical period.
T The majority report Endorsed the Sc
ceders or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their &C
ton. 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 for an unfor.
tunate mishap Ex-Gov. Johnson be.
gan his speech before the noon ad-
1ournment on the second day and con
cluded after dinner.
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was a powerful argument
and the impression gained ground
that after the noon recess the speaker
would demolish his opponents with a
few sledge- hammer blows.
But the overconfident friends of the
minority report were doomed to dis
appointment. Johnson felt the strain
of the morning session SO much that
he was unable to eat anything, and he
took a glass of wine upon an empty
stomach to strengthen himself. This
was a fatal mistake. That one glass of
wine perhaps changed the destiny Of
the nation!
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hazy, verbose and unintelligible at
times. His style and argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positiveness.
His friends looked at one another in
despair. The men on the other side
were exultant. It was 1 tdent that the
speaker had damaged his own case.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry R.
Jackson followed each other for the
majority report They spoke With. : l
sir of e1pectant triumph and captured
the convention.
The majority report was adopted. 1t
Is unnecessary to follow the history of
the next few weeks. The national De-
mocracy was completely disrupted and
put two tickets in the field. Lincoln
was elected and the country was
plunged into a civil war. Had John
son succeeded in inducing the Georgia
convention to adopt his conservative
ideas, 1t is safe to say that other
southern states would have fallen into
line with our commonwealth and the
national Democratic party would have
remained united.
This is the story of what a little
glass of wine did 1t ruined a great
party, caused a disastrous war, and,
besides the loss of life, cost the south
over $4,0O0,00O,OOO Perhaps this is
rather speculative, but there are many
who believed 1t a generation ago.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the so-called
Hill control" of Baltimore G. Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore G.
Ohio board. The details of these strug-
giles are very interesting, but are open
to the criticism that they have no ex-
istence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore G. Ohio, nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore G. Ohio people
with regard to a selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
and third, that the delay in regard TO
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore G.
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than ANYTHING
else.
1t Is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser. and
to this end he, with some of his
friends, purchased a substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near controlling interest. but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore g. Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

vention Every Chinese cook in the west
had not read that Confucius speaks of
the use OF the telephone in deceiving the
guileless Cinnamon of thousands of years
ago, and il required a special meeting of
the Chinese cooks, at which the story
was read 70 them, TO convince them that
the god of the telephone would not visit
his wrath upon their heads if they dared
to exercise him in the way suggested by
the white employers. The story told by
an intelligent Chinaman, who was press
ed into the service by the California wo.
men when they were endeavoring to edu-
cate their cook up to using the telephone,
went on to say that the priests of the time
Of a few thousand years before Confu-
cus had two temples, in one of which
the confession of the Cinnamon would
be received. Then the confessor would
be told to so post haste to the other
temple, where the second priest would
grant him absoluuon, While the China
man was covering the space between
the two temples the 1rst priest was hard
a work telephoning the substance of the
confession to the second one, so that by
the time the Chinaman arrived at the sec
ond temple his story was ready 10 be
reeled off 10 him until he was compelled
to grovel before the supernatural being
who possessed such powers of divination.

the direction of overcoming the national
