OL XXXIV - ~~~~~PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDEDV PI 1,10-N.4 LETTER FROM TEXAS. "Rover," a Former Correspon dent Writes Again. 118 FRIENDS WELCOME HIM. Pays a Compliment to The Paper and to "Uncle Zek." - Crosby, Texas, Aptil 120h, 1905. -Dear SentinelJournal You know the old song about "The ciat's come back again ;") well it's the dog this time. The old dog "Ro ver"'' that used to visit the c flices of' the Sentina''l and tic J<,ur'iIl quite often. But that tihs been so nny years ago that ho vill nut nieition their it umber, for ie is till an old "batch," and if ho was to take a notion t6 marry in his old age, all thO girls might think he was too old. In the olden days, the Sentinel and the Journal occupied different households; but now, since they have wiarriod aund beceiu ono, a sitigle visit only will bo necessary. I supposo the mnarr z has been a happy on", for "T' combination beois to be doing finely, especially 8incO "Unclo Zeke" has hoome one of the family. Now I have never had the pleasurc of knuwing. "Uncle Zeke," but, ho rer..inds mu of what I have of ten said of "Josh Billings; " that ho wrote more good hard 1sens, under the cover of nonsense, than almost any writer in the country. I suppose soie of your readers v ill wonder why old "Rover" came back again, atter all these years, to have a chat with them again. Well I've often thought of doing so, but never made the thought a deed, until I sqw the "dispensary" ques. ti'o.le rongly agitated. Now, if any of' you older readers re-mem ber me, they remember that I was never a temperance tman, but a red hot., straight out, "teetotaletr;" hated whiskey worse than the devil. While it is tie that I canl say, and tha, k God that I can say it, that not a single drink of the accursed poison ever went down my throat.; ye t it is gnly too sadly trua, as some of you may know, that tho "trail of.serpetit' has gone over 01ne of mty people, and left its deadly sting behind. And A could you people hatvo seen all I've Been, knowtn all I've knlown, they wold' wond~er thatt I'm so bitter against, It. No words can tell how much I aibhOr' it, but the last stan zu of that said, bittr little poem called the "DI)runk1 l ard 's Daugh ter','' oomels as near it as anything I ever road. It is somnet hing like this: "Tell mec I hate the bowl? Hate is but a foeble wvord, I loathe, abhor, my very soul * With strong disgustL is stirred, Whenever I sco', or hi ar, or tell Of this dlark bever age of hell." When I fir'st i'came West, I was otten asked wherio I came fr'om1. I said from South Carolina, and wvas proud of it, but, of late years there h ive heel) times whlen [ hava been actually3 ashamted to own that South Carolhna was my inother * State. It is pretty hard(. isn't it, when a boy is ashatmed of hiis mnothet? 1Ar there is nothing sweeter, better thani a good1 mot her. TIhiere is crtiitly somethlin g r'ad i cal ly wrontg withI the boy or the m nothler. Boys, men, how mianly of you that bave good mother's, would likre to go aroutnd and brag about it, and say ''my miother runa a big Swhalesale atnd oetail whtiskey shop, thle biggest thinlg in the State."
