"I'il take the ticket young man."
he said, and to my surprise handed
me the full fare.
"Oh, no." said 1, 'half of that il
you please, for l offered you the ticket
at half price,"
He deliberately put his mouey back
in his pocket and ssid: Gall or none.
Do you think I'm going to take ad.
vantage of man in distress and give
him half what thing is worth just
because he hain't got time to sell
it,"
| explained to him that was not
in distress and only changed my de,-
tination from a whim. The old fellow,
however, stuck to his guns and said it
was not right and he would not do it..
At last happy thought occurred to
me, and | explained to him that in
buying the long mileage ticket the
price of the coupons between towns
was less than the local rates aud
therefore | could not in justice ask
the local rate. At last he saw the
point. When he did he stopped Mr..
Clarkson again aud asked the distance
from New York to Charleston ond
from Columbia to Charleston, and
turning to me said:
"Now, young man, you worl. .ilat
out exactly how much that ticket from
Columbia cost you, if the. whole
ticket cost you $25.
Finding myself cornered by his
logic acoeded to his request and told
him what the pro rata wss. which he
paid me.

fell asleep only to be aroused by the
old man who stood over me with hif
money in his hand.
"What is the matter now?' I said

War on nispensayy.

Pickens, S. c., Feb. 20. The tocsin
OF war was sounded against the dis
pensary here Sunday. "Dispensary
or no dispensary,' is the momen-
tous question that will shake Pickens
fEam centre to circumference for tho
next few weeks.
The announcement has come rather
suddenly and unexpectedly, as it was
not known that fight was to be made
at once upon the dispensary until Sun
day.
At the Baptist church, Rev. D. w.
Hiott preached 20 large cougreea-
ton, taking as text III Corinthians,
vi. chapter, 18th verse: "Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye
separate saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing: and l will receive
you"
be had not proceeded far when ne
began to wade into the dispensary.
The farther he proceeded the warmer
he became in his denunciation of
what he termed "creati,u of his
Satanic Majesty" saying that no sane
man would claim that it was of divine
origin.
Yet, he stated that it is lament
able fact that church.goipg and church
protesting people had become so en-
tangled with this demoralizing agency
that they disregarded their church
VOWS and became reproach to the
church.
Continuing, he said: II stand not
here today to make TRADE upon. the
poor druukard. I deeply sympathise
with him, but call to witness the
members Of this church and every 9th.
er church in this town and county for
the existence Of this institution Of de-
bauchery, misery and woe in our
midst. There are enough church
members on the rolls of the various
churches of Pickens county to remove
this evil-and just here want to say
that at the door Of the church lies the
creation aud existence cf the dispen
sary.'
| The arraignment of the headq uarters
Of the institution in Columbia and the
inaction Of the legislature was severe
in fact, the caustic was applied freely
all along the line. At the conclusiof
of the sermon the announcement was
made that the church officials had de
cided to circulate petitions for the re-
J movai of the dlspensary, and that The
other churches of the town had beer
asked to cooperate.
| In the afternoon, at the Methods,
= church, tbs rss.e:, Rev. O M., a Ahhnsy
called a meeting of the officers Of his
church to consider the matter.
There will likely be public mas,
Injecting this week to arouse local ia
terest. While the line Of action ha
not been completely mapped out, itsis
said that every minister In the county
! will be requested TO cooperate by
! preaching his strongest temperano,
sermon and circulating petition
against the dispensary. 80 s t.ly 3 IS; s.

The suggestion has been made to
the Eagle that while other cities

work through their business
