Fargo he learned that he was just
ten minutes too late to catch the train

GOLF IN THE SOUTH.
Tho Game Was Played In Charleston
as Early as 1888.

-~s
Golf was played In Charleston as
far back as 1888. In the City Gazette
or Daily Advertiser Of Sept. q. 1871.
appears the following notice:
Anniversary OF the South Carolina
Golf club Will be held at Williams
coffee house on Thursday. 29th INST.
when members are requested to at
tend at 2 O'Clock precisely, that the
business of the club may be transact
ed before dinner"
For several years following may be
found calls for the anniversary meet
ings to be held at 1.-The clubhouse on
HarleStOn's green" q tract OF land
south OF Boundary (now Calhoun,
street, between the present Coming
and Rutledge streets.
The fact that 1t was the anniversary
meeting in 1891 would show that the
club had been organized before that
date. but unfortunately the file of
newspapers in the Charleston library
is no complete for some years just
prior, and one finds no earlier notices
Of meetings or mention of the club

1888. there is an advertisement of an

yard creek. which, after describing the
different items Of property included in
the sale. states that there is lately
erected that pleasing and genteel
amusement, the golf baan." This GER
tainly indicates that golf was one of
the local amusements Of hat day.
The word "baan" (English-Dutch
dictionary, means path. walk. way,
etc.. and golf. according to the Ency'
clopaedia Britannica, Is derived from
the Dutch "kolf," a club. and the
game is doubtless of Dutch origin and
introduced into Scotland about 1880

The Fee.

Can any one explain the popularity Of
the fez in the hot and dazzling east?
asks the London Standard. The brim-
less wooden covering of red. which
derives its name from the Moroccan
city, is neither cool TO- shady. Nor
is the warm looking headgear a native
product. for the feZZes Of Fee are now
few compared with the numbers ex-
ported from Germany to the lands OF
Islam. Perhaps the explanation of the
fez's vogue lies in the sacred reputa-
ton of the city of sunless streets itself.
For 1000 years it has lived in the odor
of sanctity and of wisdom. and as it
has clothed the mind Of the young
Mussulman it still claims to clothe the
