The Broken Melody.

While John Philip Sousa was writ ing the music of one of his latest marches he was much annoyed by the unceasing piano-playing of young woman who occupied the room adjoin- ing his suite at the Marie Antoinette hotel in New York. After the unholy noise had gone on every day from morning until night for the better part of a week, Sousa bethought him. self of an effective way to bring the annoyance to an end. On a certain afternoon a dapper delivery boy from one of the downtown bookstores knocked at the fair pianiste's door. Come in," she cried, stopping in r. middle of double fortiesimo passage What is it?'
 "A book from Page, Leaf and con- pany."
 "A book for mel"
 "Yes'm; a book called How to Play the Piano"
 "But didn't order any such book. |"
 The boy looked at his notebook and asked, Have you a next door neigh bor named Sousa?" "Yes; ts 1t for him 2. eagerly inquired the lady "No. na'a.n.. he ordered 1t for yuu."

I don't think Louis knows it, for Ann considered the name absurd as she grew older and never re- fers to it. think it is pretty name, don't you?''
 "Yes. 1t is beautiful" His eyes took on a musing look.
 Hesper! Somehow the name express ed the poetry of the fathers concep- tion. and with little else to do the wounded man gave long hours to re- calling and relieving his experiences with her as his nurse.
 He longed with great longing to see her again, but to his curious shyness had been added the humility of one who feels himself unworthy to ask any favor, and the troubled look which came now and again into the lines of his face made Louis sad. The boy ideal ized him, made of him . wonderful be- ing, better worth serving than any monarch, and in this strain he talked to Ann till she impatiently begged him to stop.
 Hut in her secret heart Ann admit ted that she, too, had been touched by the indefnable charm of Ray mond's voice and manner, but the question of how best to check his growing power over her brothers life had become . very serious problem, for as the days wose on he put her aside % completely as she ignored his hero.

CANDIDATES. SHOULD DECLARE
THEMSELVES.

The one great issue in the campaign
this summer is whether the State dis
peusary shall continue, either as it ia
or in some modified form, or be abol.
ished altogether. At no time since
the disponsary system was established
has the fight against it been 80 strong
and SO pereistently made. Under the
provisions of the Brice law nearly one
half of the counties in the State have
held elections and voted out the dis
pensary. This act gives to each youn.
ty the privilege Of deciding for itself
whether it shall or shal! not sell whis-
key through dispensaries and thus
modifies the law go as to give the peo-
pie a greater sharo of home rule.
Along with the fight for and against
the dispensary system goes the con-
test over the question Of repeating
the Brioe law.
OF tho candidates now in the field
for governor there is only one who
stands for the dispcnsary as it is now
administered. The other advocates
Of the system are in favor of modifi-
cations of The law which, they think,
will bring the desired reforms. Then
there are those who favor the aboii-
tion Of the State dispensary and urge
the establishment of county dispen.
saries, reaerving the right to the peo.
pie Of deciding for themselves whether
they shall have dispensary or pro.
hibition. Othe.s are opposed to the
dispenssry or tho sale of liquor in any
form. So the difference in opinion
goes.
Whatever solution OF the question
10 reached, che matter res:s largely
with the mombeF5 Of the sszss=! S.
sembly. The house OF representa-.
tivss has heretofore had o majority
against tho dispensary, while the
Senate has had majority in its favor.
Il is highly important that the voters,
in order to cast their ballots intelli-
gently, should know just how each OF
the candidates who Offers for the Leg.
aslature stands on this issue. It 10 a
common thing for some candidates 20
dodge q question like this. The de.
sire to win the popular approval and
to get votes from men Of every shade
OF opinion naturally tends to make
some candidates evade an issue.
This is not right. The voters should
know row each candidate stands on
any question before he has q right to
ask for thsir outrage.
The candidates for the Legislature
will be asked through the columns Of
this paper to state briefly, pointedly
and emphatioally their position on
the following issues:
~ Do you favor the dispensary
system; and, If not, what are your
views in regard to the sale Of liquor?
(2) Are you in favor Of the continu-
ance Of the Brioe aot: and, IL not, why
not?
Upon this important issue The can
didates must make their positions
clear. There is no excuse for eva
sion.

VALEDICTORY.

With this issue of The Intelligen-
Ger my connection with the paper as
editor and co-prietor ceases. This
step have been forced to take on ac-
count of my bad health, and regret
it exceedingly.
In leaving The Intelligenccr it IS
pleasure to feel that I transfer the
paper in healthy condition Of pat
ronage to safe hands, whose cxpe-
rience and ability will warrant it's
readers to expect the influence and
usefulness of The Iutelligencer to
grow. The Intelligencer has, today
nearly 1000 actual subscribers, and
Messrs. J. f. Clinkscalee .nd Vistor
B. Cheshire, who will continue its
conduct, may bo relied upon to make
it an able and fearless exponent of the
interests Of Anderson County. In
leaving the paper, therefore, feel
that the readers and patrons Of The
Intelligencer will suffer no detriment.
A retrospect Of the pact always
brings before us more or less to re.
gret, and in this parting moment I
desire to say to my brethren Of the
press, 90 we'll as to the people Of An
deT5ol Co1S..S;, chat in tha conduct OF
The Intellisenoer I Lave endesvorsd
to be 9eir and candid ct all times,
and have never hes:tsted to
speak plainly and strongly where I
thought occasion demanded. IF in so
doing I have appeared in any csse to
be harsh, or have unnecessarily
wounded the feelings OF any person, I
truly regret IL. I carry none Of the
controversies OF the past with me, and
hope that the same charity which I 90
freely extend to others will be ex.
tended by them to me. 1t has been
my aim to serve my County end my
State il tne conduct Of The 1ntelli-
genoer. I have tried to advocate that
line Of policy which I believed to be
best for the greatest number OF the
people Of my County and State, with
out nsferenoe to the olamor Of tbe
time,, and in so doing have often, I
know, aroused antagonisms which I
would gladly have avoided, but I did
not feel at liberty to serve my per-
sonal preferences at tho expense Of
convictions Of duty. The public
know how far 7 have susoeedea CT
failed in the purposes which ectuatsd
me in my editorial career, and in tax

Steel Trust onnnses Strike

President Corey of the United States
Steel Corporation has brought to bear
all the influence of that great enterprise,
including his twenty-fve-year contract
with the Pittsburg Coal Company, in
favor of granting an advance to the coal
miners if necessary to avoid a strike. This
he did in talk with President Robbins
of the Pittsburg Coal Company, Tues
day, saying that the steel trust would
not stand for any strike that would cause
his steel mills to shut down for a single
day for lack of coal. At the same time
George J. Gould representing interests
in the West and South, has told the btu
minous operators that they must prevent
a strike at all hazards. To this end,
meeting of the operators was held at Pitts
huro
