Hon. Wilbur J. Carr, Chief Clerk, De-

Dear Mr.. Carr: Mr.. Wilder left yester-
day morning for the north. and asked me
to write you relative to a small matter
connected with the recent visit of the
Hon. Mr.. Taft. Previous to Mr.. Taft S
coming. on account Of the humiliation to
which he had been subject at the time
of his former visit through the breaking
of sedan chairs. MIR. Wilder determined
to have a special chair of extra size and
strength especially built for his use. This
chair was built by Chinese manufac-
turer of these things and 1t became nee
essary to draw up g. contract to cover
the transaction.
/ inclose herewith copy of this agree
ment. which will doubtless seem some
what amusing to you. The thing was
done in all seriousness, 'oWever, and Mr..
Wilder used the language that he did in
order to impress on the Chinese chair
maker in a Chinese way the. Importance
of the matter.
The existence of this contract became
known in some way. and Mr.. P. G. Nc
Donell. representative of the New York
Sun. asked that he might have a copy of
the same.
Owing to the. nature of the document
Mr.. Wilder did not think 1t best to turn
this over for publication without the ap-
prevail of the department He will ap-
preciate your bringing 1t to the atten-
ton of the proper people in the depart
ment to ascertain whether they would ap-
prove of turning it over to the Sun. If
the approval is forthcoming. will you
kindly see that the contract together with
the Enclosed letter are forwarded to the
managing editor of the New York Sun?
With kind personal regards. yours very

A Thrilling Experience.

G. NJ. Williams, popular travelling
man of Union, had a most thrilling
experience on the Southern rail-
way trestle across Broad river, near
Shelton, several days ago and came
near meeting a horrible death. He
was walking across the trestle and
just as he reached the half way point
he fell and broke both bones in one of
his legs. AS he tripped and fell he
came near falling off the trestle into
the rolling waters below. He was
alone at the time Of the accident and
no help was in sight and he was forced
to depend on his own efforts. He re-
allied that he could not remain on
the trestle, for train was likely to
bear down upon him at any moment,
so he dragged himself across the tres
tie until he reached the end and call
ed persons who rendered him assist
ance. He suffered most excruciating
pain.

Does Prohibition Prohibit.

Men do not, as rule, attack that
which is in their own interests. Pro-
hibition is commonly supposed to be
hostile to the interests of liquor deal
ers, and as such it is to be expected
that they will oppose it and attack it.
But they take an odd way of doing
so. They ridicule it, claiming that
prohibition is ineffective, and that in
some prohibition territory there is
more liquor drunk because of it. In
answer to this, with reference to
Maine, the Homiletic Review sagely
remarks: "The-e is just one conclu-
sive proof that prohibition in Maine
is the genuine article, namely. 'Ev-
cry liquor dealer and every liquor
dealers advocate is engaged in a con-
slant attempt to break it down. If
Maine were buying and selling as
much liquor as these curious phlloso-
piers affirm, would they not be unan-
imous for continuing so profitable a
condition of things? So long as the
LIQUOR interests continue their pres
ent desperate opposition to the 'inef-
ective' efforts of the temperance peo-
pie, their ridicule is cause Of congrat-
ulation.'-Sunday School Times.
