East Indian Etiuuette.

In India a letter sent to a native
prince Is often very elaborate affair.
The paper is especially made for the
purpose and is sprinkled with gold
leaf. Only the last few lines Of the
somewhat lengthy document contain
the purport Of the letter, while the re-
mainder is made up Of the usual round
about and complimentary phrases. It
is folded in peculiar way, with the
flaps outward and placed in a muslin
bag, and this latter into one Of GRIM
son and gold tint, with a slipknot Of
gold thread, attached to which is a
ponderous seal. The address, written
on slip Of parchment, is attached to
the outside bag: These details are very
important for polite letter writing in
India, and If any one Of them was
omitted it would be an insult to the
person addressed.

A Dwelling House Burned.

Sunday night about 8 80 o'clock
while DR. Charles w. Austell was Sit
ting by the fire in his house on conrer
Of Mountain and Virgin streets read
ing, his attention was attracted by a
roaring noise which sounded to be in
closet beside the chimney, he
opened the door of the closet and
was met by flame of fire. He shut
the door and got a bucket of water
and threw it Oh the fire, by this time
some one from the outside called to
him to try to save the furniture, that
his house was on fire in the roof. By
this time a crowd had gathered there
and much Of the furniture was car
ried out. The fire gained such rapid
headway that further effort to save
anything inside was impossible. For
tunately for the family, DIR. Austell
was at home, although he had been
in the house but very short time
when the fire was discovered. He
had insurance on the building to the
amount of one thousand dollars, but
unfortunately he had neglected to in
clude his furniture In the insurance
policy, although he was under the
impression that he had insured his
furniture as he held a one thousand
dollar policy in two companies
There was q brisk wind blowing dur
ing the burning Of DR.. Austell's house
and carried sparks of fire long dis
tance, thereby endaDgering the
houses nearby, but also houses as
far away as South street.
The fire department. again met
with an accident on their way to the
fire. AS the hose wagon turned the
corner at Mr.. j. f. Cotton g residence
one Of the hind wheels broke down
The firemen then had to drag the
hose to the hydrant on the corner oi
South and Virgin streets, connect II
and then drag it down Virgin street
to DIR. Austell's house. BY the time
the company reached the burning
building it was too nearly burned
down to be saved by water Forty
fire companies could not have saved
it then The only way to account
for the origin Of the fire is defect
i've chimney, as the fire caught from
the inside. The many friends of DR.
,ustell and family sincerely regre
his loss and are glad it was no worse
that he had some insurance, and tha
his stable and horses were saved.

NEWS FROM WILKINSVILLE.
Vox Talks of the Prohibition Law
Says q Great Change Has Taken
Place Since the Voting Out
Of the DiSpensary.

WILKINsvILLE, Dec. l3 AS it has
been sometime since anything from
this section has appeared in your
paper, perhaps your readers woul1
ike to hear from us and how We are
getting along since our county has
gone for prohibition and got rid Of the
dispensary. My own observation is
that great change has come over
our people since the sale Of liquor
has been stopped in Cherokee county.
This is no magination. Certain it il
that IL any liquor is now being sold
IN this county it is on the sly-so 81,
that sober, self-respecting people
don't see any Of it's effects. Men
whose former custom it was to go to
town and come intoxicated have Qui,
hat practice. | have been to the
county seat, (Gaflney,) three or four
times since the dispensary was closed
aud don't remember seeing a drunk
man there on the roads either going
or returning.
While prohibition carried in the
| county by about nine to two, / thiuk
the sentiment in favor OF temperance
Is now practically unanimous Afull
vote, however, was not poll-d in the
| Dispenssry or No-Dispeusury issue.
and therefore we cannot tell on which
| side, or either.) these votes would
stand. But had everyone OF these
been cast against Prohibition, il,
would not have changed the result or
| defeated the Prohibition ticket.
While considerable per cent. of
our non-voting population were per-
haps patrons OF the dlspensary and
blind tigers, yet we think there is
enough Of self-respect and patriotism
Especially among the young white
meh) to give prohibition their moral
support. In fact. it was the younger
class OF voters that made the success
"f the prohibition ticket possible
Right now great many fairly in
! telligent people are ut sea to know
under what forms Of law prohibition
in Cherokee County is to be enforced.
1t IS plain enough TO our minds that
we are still living under the same
regulations provided for the enforce
ment Of the dispensary law that the
! other couiies Of the State have. The
| voters Of Cherokee only said the dis
pepsary must be discontinued, but
net that single law against the
traffic in or transportation Of liquor
from one place to another shall be
set aside. Whatever legislature we
need to make this an absolutely dry
county, will be provided for by our
Senator and Representatives when
the Legislature meets next month.
They are men with the brains and
moral stamina to do this, and we are
perfectfully willing to let them devise
ways and means for carrying out the
expressed will of the people
In my next letter shall attempt
TO give you a history of the part
Union County and Union County men
have taken in making the young
county Of Cherokee one of the most
progressive in the South. Vox,
