A WORD TO YOUNG MEE.
Don't Go Too Fast, Ny Boy, It Will
Not Pay.

Young man slow up. The pace you
are setting is a killing one. You may
fancy that YOU are making stunning
start In life, bus 1t Is . stsrt that will
distance you in the end. Don't go
too fast, my lad. "Slow and sure"
has taken down more purses than any
other racer that ever went round the
track. You are smoking half a dozen
cigars day-sleW, up, tbat means a
home in twenty years. You are buy
ing all the clothes that come to town
slow up, that means a farm In
twenty years. Besides al the rags In
the world never yet made . man.
You are taking an occasional drink
with good intentions not to become q
habitual boozer. Slow up-the road
to hell is paved with good Intentions.
You are winning the smiles ct some
silly girl by spending all you can upon
her. Slow up-a wife won In this
way is worse than the seyen.yeaf Itch
because it last longer. You are
gambling little now and then, just
taking a few chances for the fun OF
the thing, Slow up-suckers are small
fish and never grow to be very large,
but they are frStclass nibblers. You
can blow yourself cut OF the running
before the first quarter is reached b.
just trying to keep up with the pace
makers. Contract bad habits, keep
foolish company, listen to bad advice,
spend all you can and run In debt,
swell around and act the dude and
you'll be a failure just as sure as effect
Is the result Of cause. You'll hsVe a
good time for ten years and q bad
time for sixty. Be wise and clean and
economical that life may he large, fine
and splendid to you.

chaiG; but having hobbled the devil, ]
protest that it is not right to make
him yoke fellow with the spirit Of
progress IN our schools and open the
way for our children to embrace him
as an angel OF light.
Returning to my historical parallel,
1 am not inclined to press the lessons
Of the prohibition vote OF 1892 unduly.
After reminding me that $4,000 did
not vote in that election, which you
denominate 'side show" you say
that '5his is government Of majari-
ties" True, bu5 it Is government
OF msjorities that vote, and not OF
majoritieS that stay away from the
polls. At that election, prohibition
received In this county more than
1000 votes, majority Of the total
vote cast. But when they came to
fasten the dispensary upon Newberry
county that vote Of more than 1000
was nullifed by petition OF 70 free
holders in the town Of NeWberry, 81
Of whom were negroes.
The attitude ct public sentiment
towards the di>p5nsarY Law in this
county has assumed three distinct
phases in succession. Ia its earlier
stages the law d:i not have a fsir
test. For reasons that need not be
enumerated public sentiment was re-
senttul, and the law against illicit
traffic In liquor was not enforced.
But violations Of the law became so
scandalously open and unrebuksd that
revulsion toos place in the senti.
ment OF the community, and for years
the law has been enforced. We have
now arrived at the third phase, in
which the sentiment Of the conmuni-
ty seems to be crystal;izing in opposi-
tion to the w0ole scasme, owing
largely, I think, to the fact that the

ion as to the conSsiiutiona1ty OF the
dispensary law. He was all alone un-
til the legislature upon the orders OF
Gov. Ben Tillman put Mr.. Justice
MCGOWAN off the supreme bench be-
cause he cid not favor the dispensary
law and put on MI. Justice E. B.
Gary because he did favor 1t. Then
the dispensary law was declared con-
stitutional, Pope and Gary concur
ring, McIver dissenting" This lie
was first sent broadcast over this
State by those leading newspapers
which are now clamoring for the de-
structIon Of the dispensary and which
are the main reliance Of the prohioi-
sionists, although they boldly declare
that they do not believe in it any
more than I do. This outrageous
talsehood thus revamped and copied
irLm North Carolina paper Is again
set in circulation and I deem it moth
ing but my duty, and it is certainly a
pleasure, to do justice to MI. Justice
Gary, wnils the very records Of the
facts will show the falsity and venom
OF the Infamous story.
The dispensary law was declared un-
constitutional IN April, 1894, by JUS
tices McIver and MCGOWAN, Justice
Pope dissenting. The opinion was
wholly unexpected to the people OF
the State and to the best lawyers In
it. I know because 1 hal talked with
many OF them Oh the subject. Judge
MCGOWAN retired frc2 the bench the
July following and Justice Gary took
his place. Mr.. MCGOWAN had not, as
I recollect, cff:red for reelection the
preceding December and when Judge
Gary vas elected no one dreamed that
the issue would be presented in that

Another friend Of the gardeners
family expressed the belief that II the
house were ever torn down the skels-
ton OF the ssnorita would be found
within the walls CT the lower story.
The parts Of the house in which the
cminous roises anl arpari5ions most
often Occur are or the ground floor.
The main hsll, through which the
ghost seems to pass, Is big dinly lit
passage, finished in dack Flemish oak.
Ou5 of this opens reception room,
the library, almost as Clark and SOM
bre as the hal, rather gloomy
drawing room aud brilliant morning
rocn, finished in white and gold. q
startling contrast to the other ROOMS
on the floor. Into the morning room
pours fooG OF light from the glass
vailed conservatory on the southeast
side.
AS Mrs. Potter Palmer left the
house in 1900 she is said to have de-
clared that under no circumstances
would she ever pass another season in
chat ho1se or in Newport, and she
never has.
Old Newpor:ers are wondering
whether the hard-hea3ed Colorado
mining king ana bis family, newly
risen intu the ine-light Ct society,
will escape the Barreda blight that
has fallen, In one form OF another, on
every occupant OF the old palace.
Mr.. and Ms. Walsh and pretty
Miss Walsh have come from Washing
ton after a brilliant social season there
in their handsome brand new house,
which is quite the most dszzlingly
fitted up mansion in the capital.
Every thing in it is spotless!y new
so new as to carry with it the smell OF
varniSh and the uoholsterer's shop.
How they will enjoy entering into the
possession OF something very like an
old Ecglish estate, with gardener
and g ghost that $50 with it," is
matter that Is now exciting the live
liest discussion in certain select social
circles in Newport's Summer colony.
Whether the mystery OF the strange
noises and a2paritions seen in the
grand cid house will ever be solved Is
sncther question, which possibly IS
better fitted for ths Boston Society for
Phycaical research to take up than
for the ordinary laynan to attempt to
solve.

TILE BUTLER FELL IN A swooN.
The figure in white glided In
through the closed doors, swept past
the terrified butler, with silken
rustic and passed up the broad stair
case. The backward glance given as
she ascended the stairs, while the
nantilla fell from her head, revealed
q face Of dark Spanish beauty. That
much Butler White saw, then fell
Frustrated on the hall floor.
Two footmen, hearing bis fall,
rushed up from the basement and
picked up the butler. They said be
looked like dead man as be lay there
with arms wide cutstretched, hands
clenched, and white, set face up5urnec
with wide open, but apparently sight
less eyes, staring at the ceiling.
The next morning, when the butler
had fully recovered his senses, he de-
clared that nothing would induce him
to stay another day in the house. he
did stay the rest Of the season. But
ever after that when he vas IN the
front hall two footnan were always
with him, either day or night, one
stationed behind each OF the two tall
bay trees that fanked the entrance to
the staircase.
These experiences Of Mrs. Potter
Palmer and her servants were kept
strictly secret. No word about the
affair was allowed to be breathed out
side Ct the household, for Mrs Potter
Palmer could not bear to have it whis-
pered about that she believed in
ghosts.
But nevertheless the queer happen
ings were talked about by the servants
and gardeners family and from them
leaked out to a few conndentlal
friends on the outside.

ARecord For Bananas.

There was a record breaking arrival
of bananas, 10 Baltimore, yesterday, and
the marketing competition between the
United aud the Atlantic Fruit Com
panies is keen, with the result that the
price of bananas is low and the move
ment rapid. The banana boat arrivals
Yesterday we're: Dordogne, to Atlantic
Fruit Company, 1892 punches; Sal
vatore di Giorgio, to Atlantic Fruit
Company, 1900 punches; Barnstable,
to United Fruit Company, q, DOC
lunches; and George Dumois, to United
Fruit Company, u, $50 punches, total
of y, 9l2 punches.
The United Fruit Company had not
room at its wharf, near the American
Ice Company, on the south side of the
harbor, to unload the Two vessels con-
signed to it, and it was found needful to
send the Dumois across the barbOr to
Bowlys Wharf, crowding that place.
The Monday morning arrivals are al
WAYS heavier than at other periods oil
the week, and the rapid growth OF the
fruit-importing business at the port is
an eloquent appeal for the rapid con-
summation of the plans for new docks
and piers, as the importers and all en-
Gagged in the industry are now greatly

A ChiId's Vision.

Her tense and rigid body lying in a
trance for II hours, absolutely uncon-
scious of physical pain and showing no
reflex action when her flesh was pricked,
little Alberta Russ OF Alameda, Cal, had
vision of the gates of heaven, and, as
she believes, conversed with the Saviour
and her grandparents, recently deceased.
This is the strange tale that the child
tel Of what she saw in this abnormal
sleep that held her bound on Saturday
LAST for many hours. Alberta kuss is
nine years old, and the daught Of Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Russ. She had been
sick with cerebro spinal meningitis for
some weeks, but since her vision she is
well. The mystery of the hereafter, of
that bourn from which no traveller re-
turns, has been, she says, revealed to her.
When she regained consciousness at the
end of II hours, she told her mother
that she had stood at the gates of heaven
and the Saviour had hidden her return
to earth, as her sickness was over. Be-
side the child declares that she talked
with her grandparents, who died some
months ago.

Fixing Hours of Labor.

The decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States in regard TO the New
YORK law making 10 hours a days work
and go weeks work in bakeries is OF The
utmost Importance to employers and to
employees. securing to both free exercise
of the righ: of contract. The decision
holds that the New York law interferss
with the free exercise of the right OF con-
tract between individuals. The law was
onpressiye. il was c0ntended, because II
deprived both labor aud capital ofopp' r
tunity to utilize their resources 20 the
limit of their ability. Workers differ III
physical and mental capacity and endur-
ance, and. restriction of the hours OF
labor by the State is equivalent TO par
tial coufiscation of the only commodity
the workingman has to sell CAPITAL
also suffers virtual con6scatiOn III part
through any excessive restriction OF the
use of manufacturing plants by shorten
ing the hours of labor more than labOrer'
desired them to be shortened. The de-
cision will not interfere with the
eight-hour movement as voluntary
movement If individual indusiralists
1t prevents States and municipali,io'
from forcing an eigh.-hour day upon
private persons who are willing to con
tract for nine or ten hours, but it is still
within the power of Federal, State anc
municipal governments TO exact only
eight hours a day from their own EN-
ploves. - Baltimore Sun.
