JENNY LIND'S GREAT TRIUMPH.
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.

Request Blanks Give Trouble.
'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.
Very truly yours.
