Gladstone's Early Joys.

When Mr.. Gladstone was quite ali
old man it chancesd that he and Mr..
Chaplin were staying at the same
country house together on visit.
One night after dinner the Grand Old
Man asked Mr.. Chaplin whether his
grandmother had not lived in certain
street in Mayfair. Mr. Chaplin re-
piled that she had done so. "Well,' y
said Mr.. Gladstone, Il remember dis
tinctly. I lived mex! door to her for
awhile when l was child. She used
to give evening parties. When the
carriages were assembled to take up,
my brother and 1 used to creep out OF
bed-it was in the summer trrne-sott-
ly open the window, get out Our
squir1s and discreetly fire away at the
coachmen on the boxes. I remember
the intense delight with which we
used to see them look up to the sky
and call out to ask each other wheth-
er it wasn't beginning to rain.

A Question.

When visitor or visitors are on
hand, who should suggest the hour of
retiring?
It is the place of the hostess or
guest?
That question came up a few even
ings ago around a certain fireslde and
it was not fully settled. The prepon-
derance of opinion, as they say in the
court house, leaned to the side OF the
guest and that she was the one to
take the lead. Of course where vlsi-
tors and visited are on very friendly
terms, no such formality need be OBJ
served. Like all questions this has
two sides to it. When visitor sees
that the old man is getting restless
and yawning and going for a drink
of water, or if the eyes of phe hostess
begin to get CLASSY and she looks as
if she was thinking Of the dead past,
it is time to make break for bed.
Good, common sense will always
show the right way to get to bed.

COUNTY DISPENSARIES
THE SOLUTION
THIS SEEMS TO BE THE FINAL
END OF PRESENT DRIFT.
The State Dispensary Must GOA
Forecast Probable Action Next
Observation-Disclosures Sen
timent VIII Prevail Both
House and Senate.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
Charleston News and Courier writes
his paper as follows:
1T is not many weeks now before
the general assembly will meet here.
Taxation and liquor will be the two
most important and serious matters
shat will be discussed. There are
great many folks who are specializing
what is going to be done about the
dispensary situation and how the Ii
quor problem can be settled.
There is no one who can tell. 1t
is a very much worse prophecy than
to speculate on cotton, AS there ap-
pears to be much more certainty
about the price of cotton remaining
good than there is that the general
assembly will do one thing OF another.
The members from Pickens and
Cherokee and York and Spartanburg
ands Greenville are most likely going
to carry out by their votes what they
regard as the expression Of their peo-
ple. These counties have voted for
prohibition pure and simple, and the
chances are always that members will
vote in accord with the express SEN
timent OF their home people, regard
less of their personal view in such
cases. 1t may be argued that the vote
was light and that there has not been
;ull vote. The members realized
that those who did not vote did so
from their own preference, as the
subject was agitated for months in
every county in the state before an
election was held, and those who did
not participate in the disbensary elec-
tons did so from preference, and
where the vote has been four and five
and even six TO one the members
know the sentiment of the people to
be against the dispensary system,
and that is most likely to be their
guiding star.
AS at present advices there is ev-
cry reason to say that the proh.bl-
tion sentiment will prevail in both the
house and the senate. 1t is not so
much the preference Of the indi7ld-
ual members, but the result of the
recent elections, and if Charleston
and Sumter and Richland and other
counties want to retain their dlspen-
saries they will have TO do so by the
grace of the prohibition voted IN the
general assembly. 49,.
There is more moderation in the
politics of the state these days than
there was five OF ten years ago and
Charleston and Columbia and Sum,
fer and Georgetown may be able tc
convince the members that they dc
not want prohibition, and that II
would be better for the balance o
the state if prohibition be not forced

able for such exemptions or local

able for such exemptions or local
option.
The very best that Charleston. Co.
lumbia, Sumter, Florence and the
other anti-prohibition folks can hope
for is county dispensaries. By county
dispensaries is meant dispensary
system operated and controlled by
county and city authorities, as is
done in North Carolina and Georgia.
The state dispensary will NOT be con-
tinued. The argument to continue it
will be that it wind up tine business
now on hand, sell the stock on hand
at auction or to the counties that con-
tinue the dispensaries.
With half Of the counties out of
the dispensary system it can be readl-
ly appreciated that the continuance OF
the system of large state Institution
means that the cost OF each Of the re-
naming counties will be that much
larger in proportion.
Until recently the expenses Of the
state system have been divided and
have to be borne by twenty counties
even if no other counties vote out the
dispensaries. It is simply a case OF
short division instead of long division.
. The state system is going to be
abolished in time simply from a busi-
ness standpoint, to say nothing of the
feeling that there is at present against
it,"

An Early Betrothal. :

In che early days of California the
daughters of the Lugos were sought
in marriage by the best families OF the
state. 1t was a boast that they were
even courted in the cradle, as when
the young officer Colonel 1gnacio
Vallejo, being in San Luis Qbispo on
the occasion of 1he birth Of daughter
to the Lugos, asked her father for the
hand Of the day old baby, provided
when the time came to fulfill the con-
tract the senorita should be willing.
This seemingly absurd betrothal took
place. The child grew up 70 be an in

came the mother of many children,
among them Mariana Guadalupe Val
lejo.

promise to be favorites. These are
made of sheer material-fine Persian
lawn, India linen, batiste, grass-lin-

lace insertion, drawn-work and en-
broidery. These demand the finest
of hand-sewing, as every part of
them must be exquisitely dainty.
Mano of them are worn over slips of

tints. Colored slips will be very
fashionable this season, and indeed
the effect of color under the thin
white material is very pleasing.
Only the very lightest tints are used,
as a deep color would destroy the

OFFICER AND EDITOR FIGHT.

Mr.. Samuels beats up Ed itor Deal for q
Scurrulous Attack on Revenue Officials.
"North Wilkesboro, N. c., April,
18-Editor r. A. Deal, Of the Chron-
icle, had difficulty yesterday with
a revenue officer over an editorial in
his paper charging collision be-
tween blockade distillers and the
revenue agents.
It is alleged that the revenue
man was the aggressor and that an
other one stood by with drawn pis-
tol to prevent interference. The
men were parted and the trial of the
case before the Mayor will take place
saturday."
The above appeared in the Raj
eigh Times Tuesday Evening. The
News and Observer Tuesday morn
ing published similar story, only
more scurrulous, and again yester-
day morning the Observer devoted
over a column in telling how bad
the revenue officers are in this State
in an effort to create public senti-
ment against the officers in the case
at Wilkesboro. While the Observer
claimed they were the first to pub
lish the news, the fact is, the fight
happened last week and the news
first appeared in Friday or Saturdays
Charlotte Observer, which threw an
entirely different light on the mat
ter from the News and Observer ar
ticles.
The fact is the editor of the Chron.
icle published story charging the
revenue officers Of being in collision
with the "blockaders" and that they
received $50 per month from the
blockaders not to bother them.
Mr. Samuels demanded of editor
Deal the source of his informal io1
which Mr.. Deal refused to give. Mr.
Samuels told him the article was
not true, Deal got wrathy, and thu
fight followed with the result thai
editor Deal is now nursing s0al
head. The trial will come up Sat
urday. The Watts law officials are
the men who deserve the 'scussing.'
If they would cooperate with tn
