In a Frontier Saloon.

A STRIPPING Of eliminate rosincss
and neat attire sat in the corner of q
frontier saloon, modest, oilent, and
as far out Of the wsy sc BE c:a!d got.
He had stepped from the esain and
was waiting for the stage. 1t vas
starched linen that ne wore; the city
showed quite plainly in his hat and it
is still in dispute whether any down
was visible upon his lip. But he was
old enough to be smoking cigar with
all the appearance Of habit. The
cigar, also, was not native Of; the
town. In fact, the young man made
no purchase upon entering the saloon,
nevertheless the proprietor could
scarcely complain of him. The
stranger had asked if he might wait
there for the stage and thanked the
proprietor for his permission.
Then he had sought his quiet cor
ner and lighted his cigar.
/ a citizen walked out Of the back,
room aud up to the bar. He had left
faro game and tho proprietor was
friendly with him, but respectful, that
sort ct :espec: which Is favored del
icately with just enough familiarity
to bring it out. It is probable that
the citizen had had more drinks than
the one he now took. 1t is also likely
that faro had not gone as we'll with
him this morning as he considered his
due. His dissatisfied eye fell upon
the rosy youth and his cigar, and he
took the glass from his lips and held
it, considering the stranger.
At length, without removing his
eyes, he inquired: "What Christmas
tree did that drop Off"
The proprietor hastened to take this
view. sits express tag has Auttered
away, [ guess" he whispered, jocose-
ly.
The citizen remembered his whis-
key, swallowed it, set the glass gently
down, gently drew his six-shooter and
shot the cigar to smash out of the
young mans mouth.
Now, L do not at all know what I
should have done in the young mans
place. Something sensible, I hope.
What the youth did I know I. should
not have done. You will see that his
behavior was out of the common. He
stopped down, picked up his cigar,
found it ruined, put it in the spit
toon, got fresh one out of his pock-
ct, found match in his waistcoat,
slid it along the seat of his nice
breeches, lighted the new cigar, and
settled himself once more in his chair,
without word of protest or an at
tempt at resentment. The proprietor
saw him do it all and told about it
afterward.
The citizen took the second cigar,
smash! like the first. Perhaps he
went tride nearer the youths lip.
What were the card players in the
back room doing at all this noise?
They all lay fat on the floor, like the
well-trained indigenous people that
they were, minding their own bust
ness. For there was no rear exit.
The youth felt in his waistcoat
pocket, but brought no match from it.
So he rose with still another .r-,h
cigar in his hand and walked to TIE bar.
I'll have to ask you for a matoh,''
he said to the proprietor. who at once
accommodated him.
Once again he slid the match be-
meath his coat tails, and, bringing out
his own six-shooter. shot the citizen
as Instantly dead as that can be done.

A Midway Girl Abandoned

At the passenger depot of the South
ern railway in this city yesterday morn
ing a young girl was seen stroIling
about in a forlorn condition. She seem
ed to be in deep distress and being of
tender years attracted the attention
of several people. To these she stated
that her name was Pearl Glenn; that
she was Is years old and that she was
a daughter of B. F. Glenn, of 50 Liber-
ty street, Pittsburg, Pa. She further
said that she was a member Of one OF
the midway companies that gave per-
formances in Salisbury recently and
that she had come here with her COM
pany on the way to Charleston. The
company abandoned her here and left
her without money or friends. Several
Charlotte ladies who heard the young
girls story interested themselves in her
behalf and she was taken from the
depot to the Charlotte hotel. In the
meantime telegram was sent to her
father in Pittsburg. She will be cared
for today at the Rescue Home, pending
an answer from Pittsburg She is a
mere mite of a girl and her midway
experiences must have been severe
for one OF her age. How she came to
be connected with the show is not fba

whose care she has fallen. Her rescua

ga CHEIL'' TAKING ssNOTES'' OVER
THE BORDER.

There is hardly a more absurd esti-
walls in the north as to South Carolina.
1t has been doubtless a very much po-
litically stirred state in the past par
ticularly about reconstruction times
and in 1876, when the whites got posses
sion of the government and rid the
state of the carpet-bag scoundrels and
piunderers. The history of those dark,
ruinous days should be written for it
would be replete with both instruction
and warning. The idea now is that
South Carolina is really a huge seething
pot, but that is a great mistake. Poll
tics are not disturbing the people much
now. They are very busy in building
and running cotton mills, in preparing
for the great exhibit next month at
Charleston and IN planning great things
for the future.
We glanced over a recent communica-
ton by Professor Bruce Craven, of
whom we know nothing. Whether
southern or northern we cannot say.
He-has been travelling in South Caro-
lima and finds the people busy and not
talking politics. He had not glimpsed
a republican. He gives this: "An old
egro who is qualified to vote was asked
if he took any interest in politics, and
replied, No boss, 1 pays my taxes and
tends to my cotton, and let's de white
folks run de lection. De dimicrats do
de 'lectin' now anyhow, and de 'publi-
cans don't have nothing to do wild it."
Professor Craven thinks it a mere
waste of time for republicans to vote
in state elections. He says the "Gaf-
ney fiasco was but a summer breeze
and thinks that South Carolina is done
with political experiments" Of the
McLaurin kick-up he gives this, and it
reads as if very near the truth:
In the south. it is politically fatal for
democrat to vote with republicans. A
mans political affiliation is not decided
by what he says but by how he votes.
Senator McLaurin was elected as a
democrat and when he began to side
with the republicans in congress, he
sealed his own doom. The voters of the
Palmetto state are democrats, and they
want to be represented by men who are
democrats, first. last and all the time.
This is the voice of the people and
whether or not it is the voice of God,
there is no appeal from it in South Car
