A Cabby Stung.

Foreigners often fall a prey to the
unscrupulous wiles of the British
cabby, who basely takes advantage of
the strangers want Of familiarity
with English idiom, coinage and To-
cality. We have heard of the intelli-
gent foreigner being driven about
SIX statute miles in journey from
London Bridge to Charm: Cross.
That cabby got the hrS: a.; the trans
action, but recent a;,empt to i'm
pose upon foreign crcdulity was
frustrated cleverly by son of GauI.
whose taste for joking led him to trv
to bamboozle cabby into attempting
1t with him. He demanded in cx-
cccdin"ly broken English to be dri
ven /" il certain place. the fare to
which was exactly one shilling. L.
may be remarked that he really
could speak English as we'll as he
could h'* mother t"n"n". On arriv
III" AT his destination he asked, still
in Il struggling fashion:
sow mooch ave | TO pavo''
rive shlllin"s. y promptly re-
sp"nd the cabby.
And 'ow mooch is five shill-
lngS ~ queried the traveller. taking
ont three half crowns and laying
them across his palm.
"Them threc'S ri.ht.' said cahbv,
pointing to tie r:.iuS
"Oh.' said the Frcnchman. Then,
dropping" his assumed imperfect ac-
4ua'ntance with the vcrnacular.
'Wrll. here's a bnb for you,' he
said. and departed. leaving" his crSt-
while l"hn Stmdin" with Il prrplcxcI
expression on his face. which took
some time 10 di~apprar.-Til-B Bits.

the Daughters of the American Reyo

New York:

our choice, prefer to be we'll born.
Good children arc more apt TO come
from good than from bad parents.
Then, besides. good birth is a recon-
mcndation. In every thin. we consd-

SENATOR BLEASE TALKS.
Of the Liquor Question and Prohibi-
tion and Dispensary.

The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday
contained an interview with Senator
Cole l.. Bleasc on the situation in
Newberry on the liquor question and
incidentally on the question as it will
probably be presented at The next scs-
sion of the legislature.
The following is the interviews:
''Senator what do you think of the
failure of the petitioners to have an
election on the disepnsary question in
Newberry, due to an insufficient num-
Der Of names to the petitions9'
We'll, sir, while the local option
bill was being considered in the sell
ate, All amendment was put in allow
ing several counties, Ncwberry in
cludel, to have an election on the
question Of dispensary or no dispcn-
sary this year. provided the proper
petitions were filed. The amendment
was Offered not to cause an election
to be ordered but simply TO give the
people Of the county the opportunity
to have such an election provided they
wished il, and it seems that they did
not desire to agitatc the matter at
this time.
"Personally. ] had no interest in
the natter and did not sign the peti
ton.
81 presume that the f"ht that T
made in the senate against the cnun-
~ dlSpcnSary system is we'll rcmcm-
hcrcd. and am still of the same upin-
ION as Follows: Because dn not be-
llcve that the people Of South Caro-
lima are III favor Of such a system as
'he bill will give them: and because
| believe that the system provided for
III the bill will prove curse to the
state.
'Thc people arc showing that they
are not in favor Of such a system. and
the system itself is proving to be a
curse, as the troubles in many coun-
ties of the state already show, and
tn" further ii goes the worse it will
be, fake and farce, as T said to you
IN an interview of May II, I am op-
posed to it. and will ever be.
81 believe. however, that if the
people Of this county had the oppor-
tunity they would vote to re-estab.
liSh the state dispcnsary as we had it
before. but they are with me and
against this rotten sytsem which
some counties now have.'
"Do you think that the liuuor
question for South Carolina will be
ne OF the main questions for discus
sion and settlement at the next scs-
sion of the legislature. and if so.
what il any. changes do You expect 20
was then asked Mr.. Blcasc.

next legislature for state prohibition,

pert the most interesting tiyht that
has taken place i'll the South Carolina
legislature since the session of 1892.
when we first established the state
dlSpcnsary system. If the state dis
ptnSarN people cannot rc-cStabliSh
that SYSTEM. they will hold the bal.
an"e of power between prohibition.
and the county disprnsary system.
Then the question will be. what will
