Love and Wedlock.

A man of middle age and youth of
romantic appearance sat alone in a
smoking compartment Of a nearly
empty evening train. In the solitude.
the youth took u photograph from his
pocket, looked at it and then said to
his companion feyerlshly:
"Were you ever, sir in love?"
The man OF middle age started. He
laughed.
"Was I ever in love?" he repeated as
he relighted his pipe. "Was I ever in
love? Well, don't know if''-
'You don't knowY cried the youth.
"Well, If you ever had been in love
you'd know it. Why, when you're in
love your life is sweet dream, you
have no taste for food, You think Of
nothing but the beauty off,
"Were you ever married?' snapped
the middle aged man.
"No, butt

Jean Richepin's Career,

The story Of how he came to adoDt
a literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque For some time he had picked
up a precarious livelihood by doing
"odd jobs" including such prosaic &C.
equations as that Of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station.
there was an instant mutua, recogni-
ton. They were old college chums.
"What are you doing here?" asked his
friend. carrying your trunk, be-
lieve," said Jean. "Why do you do
this?" because I must" "Where
do you live?" "Come and see." re-
piled Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts-Jean's incur.
sions In the realms Of poetry when
the more prosaic duties Of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this?' he asked Richepin had never
given the matter thought. He had
never deemed these products of idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub
nshed they were, however, in very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin never looked back.-West-

"Is Mr.. Mann Guilty OF Perjury"
1.-THE State I

A citizen of Oconee is greatly pertur-
bed because the Hon. Coke d. Mann re-
Trained from voting for b. r. Tillman for
Senator. In a letter to The Farm and
Factory the aforesaid citizen intimates
that Mr.. Mann committed perjury in
withholding his vote, because in the
primary he pledged himself to "abide"
by the result of the primary and to sup
port the nominees of the party. Similar
argument has been made by others. 1t
is not sound.
According to the contention of the
Oconeean every voter in the primary
who fails to vote in the general election
is a perjurer. The pledge of voter and
candidate is the same, it is to support
and to "abide the result" Practically
the purpose of the pledge is to prevent
defeated candidates from boiling, and if
they do bolt, to deprive them of support
of all who voted in the primary election.
Had Representative Mann voted for an
independent candidate he would have
violated his pledge, or if there had been
an Independent candidate and he had re-
Trained from voting he would not have
kept faith; by supporting an independ-
ent, or by Withholding support from a
party nominee at time of contest, he
would not have "abided" the result of
the primary, or supported" the nomi-
nee, for either course would have aided
the independent. But in refusing to
vote when there was no contest, he did
abide" the result, and simply withheld
individual endorsement. Mr.. Mann
stated his reasons for not voting; others,
absentees in cloak room or committee
rooms, did not vote. They were under
no obligation to vote unless there was
opposition to the Democratic nominee.
There is no case against Mr.. Mann; he
has not betrayed his constituents; no
simply did not swallow an unpleasant
dose when it was not necessary.

"Upon the esteemed and venerable
Keowee Courier making complaint that
other newspapers reprinted articles from
its columns without giving credit, the
esteemed and adolescent Anderson Mail

depredations of this sort, and that the
Keowee Courier is the chief offender in
this respect. Both these newspapers are
so good that it is hard to resist the temp

'EBENElER werner NOW REJOICMG'
IN THE FACT THAT HIS F0NDEsT HOPES
ARE BEING REALIzED---cL 0SlNG SCENES.

Columbia, Feb. 16.---Editors Courier:
The Legislature has adjourned!
If the usual question be asked: "What
have they done?" it may be answered,
"The session of 1907 repealed one law
and enacted another" which, taken to-
gether, will mark place in the history
of the State, and should commend that
body to the good graces of all the people.
I refer to the repeal of the State dispen-
sary law and the passing of an act to
prevent gambling in cotton futures.
This is the most important legislation
the. State has had, perhaps. in forty
years. The one will, in all probability,
lead to State prohibition, while it is
thought the other will save Co the people
thousands upon top of thousands of dol
lars that go annually through bucket
shops to the undoing of our people, both
financially and morally.
Y0u should be here to see tho evil eff
fects of the great State liquor law so as
to get some idea of the good that must
and will come to our people from its re-
peal. The same can be said as to what
should follow from tho enaoting of the
law to prevent gambling.
believe in sober mani believe in a
moral man; i know we will get more of
both by lesislatipg for temperance and
against immortality than by making laws
to encourage the former and failing to
make laws to discourage the latter.
This Legislature is but the representa-
i,,a of ho <,f ho oorlx,
that thought is upward and for the bet
ter; therefore, no man has greater occa-
sion than to rejoice that the trend of
public opinion, after long years of work
and waiting, is coming his way.
This session will adjourn to-day, and
now, at IL o'clock M, while 1 write, the
annual and inevitable sign of adjourn
ment is in the House. 1t is peculiar and
interesting.
The House has cleaned it's calendar en-

and discuss the work of the session; some

interest is centered in the singing of the

some fine singers, and they gather in
large groups in the center aisle, and sing
with abandon and vigor many old songs
and hymns. There is one sad thought
that comes to the mind amidst all this
