Won Jealous Rival by Sweetness of Sin-iple Song. A beautiful little ineijdent is told1 conlcernling Jenny Lindl and Grisi, whlen they were rivals for- popular favor in Londonii. Both were invited to s~ing the, samei nighit at ai court con cert. befl~o the queen. Jecnny Lind, being the y(?anger. sanrg first, and was so disturoise by the 11ierce, scornfl 1(ook of Grisi that shn was at the point of failure, when suddenly an inspira tion came to her. The accompanist was striking his final chords. She asked him to rise and took ihe vacant seat. Her fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, and then she sang a little prayer which she had loved as a child. She hadn't sung it for years. As she sang she was no longer inl the presence of roy alty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air. swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintive "pray er." Gradually the song died away and ended in a sob. There was sil ence-the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spell-bound. Jenny Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into the scornful face that had so dis concerted her. There was no fierce expression now; instead, a tear-drop glistened on the long, black lashes. and after a moment, with the im i)ulsiveness of a child of the tropics. Crisi crossed to Jenny Lind's side. placord he;- arms about her,. and kissed her, i'tterly regardless of the audience. -Exchange. Force of Habit. George WV.

'olumbia State. Gov. Hayward has addressed a etter to the State board of dispen ary directors stating his position in egard to the use of request books. his letter was brought out by the etion of the county auditor of Lee, ho positively refuses to handle the ooks on the ground that the other uties of his office take up all of his ime. 'There was also a letter writ en by County Auditor G(ibbes of tichland, along the Fame lines. At recent conference with the attorney eneral and Commissioner Tatum it -as decided to place the responsibil y on the county boards and the tter written by the governor to the tate board explains his idea as to be law. It is as foliows: on. J. M. Rawlinson. Chairman State Board of Directors, Coluim bia, S. C. Dear Sir: Your recent cammuni ation, through Mr. M. H. Mobley, [erk, enclosing copy of resolutions dopted at a meeting of the State oard of directors, held March 6th, 906, in regard to the use of request ooks, has been received. With this mmunication came also a copy of letter from Mr. W. S. James. mem er of the county board of control f Lee county, which beais upon the ame subject., - ' The record before- nie1oes not e ain anly letter or official communiea ion from the county auditor of Lee ounty, arid I judge from the tenor of he letter of Mr. James that the :unty board disapproves of, and oes not care to have, request books sed because it would make, as they ink;~ the dispensary law unpopu r in that county. I w~ish it plainly understood that am ready at all times to see that ose officers under my jurisdiction, Tho have any duties in connection -ith the dispensary. fully discharge~-= bese duties. The first step, it occurs to me. is or the county boards to see that the iw with referene~ to request books enforced by the dispensers them elves, and if in the discharge of this .ut it is found that officers under y jurisdiction refuse to do their uty then it is time for me to take eton. I wish to assure your board of my urose to operate with you at all imes, and if for any reason request ooks should not be generally used will not be through any lack of co peration on my part. And I will be 'ery glad if you will at any time call 2 attention to any specific direelic ion on tihe part of any officers ap ointed by me.. I am advised by the comptroller eieral that the county auditors on ount of the large volume of busi ess where the use of request books enforced will not hrave time to heck up the books and give sucb me to their other duties, in connee in with the tax department, as they ould. The primary duty of an uditor is in connection with the ax department and I am satisfied bat in the interest of the enforce rent of law and business economy~ rat arrangements can and should be ide by whoeh the county auditors an get' such assistance through the ruunty boards as will make it pos ble to have a through system of ecking up. Should this assistance udi~tors be furnished by the aunty oards the expense will be ight anid will be equally borne by oth county and town, as it should The law is plain with reference te euse of request blanks. 1 f':lly mpatize' wich your board in its ef rTs to enforce this law whenever cuty auditor refuses to carry out e law when assistance is 1urr;hsed i1. or whfen it is shown that h.e k ble to nerform the work withom as istance, that I will promptly ret'e from omeie upon the siimel bemrr Iported to me.
