THE WALTZ.

N@'4 N'AANNSAANNAA'(
The Wooing waltz, the WOOing waltz,
Still of that waltz I'm dreaming.
For she was mine that lovely night,
Was mine at least in seeming.
Within that room, that crowded room,
So crowded, yet so lonely,
We drifted on, we two alone,
| thought of her, her only.
Her little hand, her jeWeled hand,
Seemed lightly to caress me;
t shrilled my heart with pride and joy,
1t seemed to say, Il bless thee"
The music rose, the music fell,
Now slower and now faster,
On. on we danced in easy tune,
Close, closer still | clasped her.
| watched her eyes, her wistful eyes;
l breathed through perfumed tresses,
Her dimpled cheeks and pouting lips
Invited warm caresses.
Her pensive flush, her truant blush,
Betrayed her inward feelings;
Those dropping eyes, those gentle
signs
Suggested loves revealings.
We drifted on, outside the room;
All. how could | resist her,
So in that dimly-lighted hall
| slyly stopped and-kissed her
The music dreamed, the music
breathed,
The story that / told her,
And in that Railways friendly gloom
She listened on my shoulder.

here by Attorney Walter Penn

charges made against her. She
says that she expects to start an
industrial school in Little Rock
when she is liberated, as she
confidently expects to be as soon
as she can get hearing before

come from one of the best fami-
lies and says her grandfather

Liquor ESTABLISHMENTS Drew Shades
and Business Suspended.

Charleston, May 12.-For the first
time in 20 years, and probably much
longer, liquor establishments were
closed to-day, as result of the order
of Mayor Grace to the police depart
ment that there should be no liuuor
sold on Sundays. Every club, hotel
and blind tiger had it's shades drawn
with general suspension Of bust
ness, and the results were apparent
in the good order on the streets.
The police officers spent quiet
Sunday as far as arrests for drunk
enness were concerned. Chief Can't
well personally visited the hotels and
leading clubs, and saw for himself
that the order Of the mayor had been
carried out strictly.
Mayor Grace was at the station
house this afternoon, having called
for conference with Chief Cantwell
to learn the results of the operation
OF this order. He expressed dis graf
ification over the situation and con-
graduated Chief Cantwell on the
work of the department.
Several places were raided and
cases made out for trial At one
place a slot machine was also con-
fiScated.

How to BE Certain Of
Curing Constipation

Prejudice is hard thing to over
come, but where health is at stake
and the opinion Of thousands Of relia-
BILE people differs from yours, preju-
dice then becomes your menace and
you ought to lay it aside. This is said
in the interest of people suffering
from chronic constipation, and it is
worthy of their attention.
In the opinion of legiops of relia-
BILE American people the most stub
born constipation imaginable can be
cured by brief use of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. You may not have
heard OF 1t before, but do no doubt
it's merits on that account, or because
1t has not been blatantly advertised.
1t has sold very successfully on word

SOME OCONEEANS AT MACON.
CaiTIina Vets Enjoyed the Recent Re-

''Red Shirt" Man at Reunion.
Among the visiting Confederate
veterans in Macon this week is Capt.
Samuel K. Dendy, Of Walhalla, Oco-
nee county, South Carolina, who Is
looking around scraping up old ac-
Quaintances among the thousands OF
old war-scarred heroes Of the sixties.
Mr. Dendy is one Of the best
known men in South Carolina, and
more especially In the upper or west
ern section, where he was born and
raised. After the war closed, and
when South Carolina was su ffering
under the yoke Of carpetbagism and
negro domination, movement was
started under the leadership Of Gen.
Wade Hampton to deliver the state
from its afiliction at any cost. 1t was
then that Capt. Dendy virtually took
charge Of affairs in his home county,
and 1t was due to him, more prOba-
bly, than any other one man, that the
great wave Of Democracy started In
the mountains which swept throu ght
the State to the coast. By his strong
will and enthusiasm he kept up the
spirits of the then weak following
and organized department Of what
was then known as the "Red Shirts"
By night and by day he worked +,
and finally had the gratifca tion OF
seeing his beloved old State redeem
ed from the grasp of corruption and
viciousness.
Capt. Dendy is one Of the best
known travelling men OF that section
