RUOKER WENT HUNGRY.
Had Long and Agonizing Ride from
Anderson to Columbia,-Could
Get Nothing to Eat.
A special from Columbia says:


Representative Marion Ruckcl
has been in the ciy for several days
and Iris friends were today con9ratu-
lating him upon his recovery from an
acute attack Of hunger which he suf-
fered on Sunday. Though a strict
Presbyterian, Mr.. Ruckcr occasionally
travels on Sunday and he started out
Sunday morning to- come to Columbia,
being member Of the Legislative
committee to investigate the books of
the state dispcnsary, which was to
meet here Monday. lie left Ander-
son about II o'clock Sunday morning,
having had his usual early breakfast,
and reached Columbia about 'clock
that afternoon, and along the road he
found it impossible to get anything
to eat. He had expected to purchase
a handme-out lunch at Greenwood
but upon arrival at that place he was
Informed by the guardian of the law
that no lunches were permitted to be
sold in that Christian town OH Sun
day; at Newberry the same informa-
ton was given him, and SO in COM
pany with several dozen other hungry
passengers, the Anderson representa-
tive observed Easter Sunday as a
fast day and not feast day. He is
now of the opinion that the town or
dinances which forbid the sale of
food on Sunday are not only uncon-
stitutional, null, and void but are in
human and un-Christian."
Upon which the Anderson Mail
rises 20 remark:
"The story sent out by an enter
prising Columbia newspaper CORES
pondent about Hon. Marion Ruckel
suffering because he could not get
anything to eat Oh the trip between
Anderson and Columbia on a Sunday
is al bosh. Mr.. Rucker never eats
on Sundays or Fridays. This has been
rule of his life, and accounts fol
his uniform good humor and success
in politics. -
With the fast schedule which is
now in force between Anderson and
Columbia there is no need for one to
get hungry even if he did not fast
on Fridays and Sundays. And then
Marion Ruckcr does lot breakfast
so early any way.
He should remember, also, that il
is unconstitutional. inhuman and MI
Christian fW good Presbyterian TO
travel on the Sabbath.
The next time he passes This way
he should let some Of his friends
know he is comm" and arrangements
will be made.
