"WHEN DE STAUS FEJLL." :-..- i > ' The Time that Uncle Ben and Sal Jined Hands. "Des puah de gate open, boss, ^&cum right inl'?. This is the friendly invitation ; t^tj^^^e^^me ; as J ?tc<>dj one *~pT^san? snn?mef afternoon before Hhe humble cottage of Uncle Ben, "the eldest inhabitant" of; Chattanooga, Tenn ' ~ . ? The old man sat in a rude chair in tho open yard, smoking his cob j pipe, lazily watching the clouds " as they . floated over historic Missionary Ridge< Lookout moun xtain and the shining waters of the picturesque Tennessee river. Near by stood his faithful, sad eyed donkey and an old, dilapidated wagon, completing a perfect picture of the now very rare oldtime Southern darkey-a . ghost of the vanished years ! "How old are you, Uncle-Ben?" I asked as I took the proffered chair. "Bless you honey, I don't zactly ' 'member, but I wuz a right smart chap w'en de 6tars fell" When was that? " "Law honey, ain't you nobber hearn it? Mars John used -to say it wuz back in the '30s." "And didjthe stars really fall?" I asked, in order to draw the old man' out. "Co'se dey did. Der fell des like it wuz rainin' 'en cracked w'en dey stuck de ground des like meat in de fryin" pan. Mare John and every body wuz a prayin" and a hollow win': 'De judgment day done cum 1 I wuz roastin' a big yam -. and I prayed de Lord not to take me 'fore de tater wuz done. "Bimby Mars John he cum and ? say, 8ezee : 'Beni you's a good nigger, an' I been thinkin' a long , time I'd sot you free. You's free now, en you en Sal can get married Thinks ?, it wuz a right poor time to jine hands, boss, w'en de . judgment day wuz a breakin.' "Nex' mawnin' yer cum Mars John en say, sezee, 'Ben hitch up old Shady and plow dat piece o stubble land nex' to de. big road.' Den I up and say, sez I : ^M?rster, Use free, and me and Sal gwine to ^ marry. * You told me yisterday Ts ^free.' Den Marse John ho kinder shut dat lef cross eye o' his'n and say, sezee : 'You black rascal getont-dat was den ; dis is now. An'denhesay something 'bout de dey? being'a monk. w'enKe sick* - an? de same old satan w'en ne well' Wuz des like de old song : - , ':.':?^;o?^Mar?t?r-promised -me Dat we'en he died he'd sot me free, Bul my old marster dead and gone . An' still old Sambo's bi Un'- up de corn, ^Leastwise Sal en me jined "hands,eril dun have six moro wives-since den," continued the'old man confidentially." "My wives, boss, have been mighty unhealthy unlil I got de old ooman si ti in' dar She's number seven en Ispectl'll kick de bucket 'fore she does." . And good natured number seven chuckled; and said most emphatically'there would never bo a number eight. When I left the cabin the snn was sinkin low behind Raccon Mountain and. Uncle Ben' was humming the, words of an old, plantation serenade something like this: De old bee made de honeycomb, De young bee make de honey, De niggers make.de cotton en co'n, En de w'te folks git de money, [Chicago Inter-Ocean. * Northen and Tillman. The News and Courier states that Governor Northen will be renominated by the Georgia Democrats without opposition. It says that , "he has made a .sa'fe, conservative and satisfactory ex ecutiveOfficer, and has won the good opinion of all classes of peo ple by the faithful performance of his official duties. He was " nominated and elected two years ago as the special candidate of 1 the:: Sf anners, and he will be nominated and elected this year as the Governor of . the whole peo ple.". .The News and Courier, wishes that^it could swap governors with Georgia ; not that it loves Georgia lessV but South Carolina more. The News and Courier ought to thank its stars that it has as honest and correct a man as B. B. Till man for governor. In place of abusing' Governor Tillman and endeavoring to bring his administration into disrepute and contempt with the. masses, the News and Courier oughtx to hold up his hafids and be thankful that he has done so well. In the matter of the governor-ship, the News and Courier, and those who trail with it, could have gone farther and fared worse than under the administration of Governor Tillman who has behind him the majority of the Democratic -people of South Carolina. Quit your abuse of Governor Tillman and give him credit for the work that he has done. That he has made mistakes is doubtless true, but that he has honestly and uprightly governed the State, we have no question. When we saw the political revolution coming in Georgia three years ago, we said make way for the farmers. .Governor Northen has made ? splendid record. The press of the State has sustained him. His administration has been endorsed and he is , recommended for a second term. It is probable that he will have no oppoistion. He 'deserves this recognition and confidence at the han$s of the Democratic party.' The News and Courier and other papers of South Carolina have denounced Tillman and his followers from the start. During the campaign ; preceding his election, and during his adminitra Governor Tillman has been the constant Object of attack. The wonder is that a new and untried man, a farmer from the plow handles, should have made so few mistakes. Ben Tillman is an honest man and a man of ability. The News and Courier and those who are fighting him might just as well make up their mipds that he and those who are with him have come to stay, and that they are going to rule in South Carolina politics for many years to come. The News and Courier ought to rejoice that the white people are politically united and that no Third Party demagogues and caanks are menacing the integrity of Demo cratic supjemancy in Bouth Caro lina.-Augusta Chronicle.

She (coldly)-Yes, sir: and those goods that you warranted would wash I tried to give away to my maid. And then the silence became so wide and solemn that you could hear them pumping gas into the mineral springs.-Life. The heroine of a storv now running in a Southern paper is made to say: "I will do the washing this time, mother, for it is the greatest of delights to me." This is a wide departure from the realistic in fiction, " in fact it reaches the pinnacle of the ideal. As a work of the imagination th? story will take high rank. Indianapolis Journal. "I find, madam," said a young physician, "that your husband is 'suffering from overwork." "And will he have to give up his place under the government?" she asked, anxiously. "What's that?

"Doesn't it embarrass you to be kissed by your husband before a car full of people?" "Embarrass me?" replied the lady, who was starting off on a jonrney, as she seated herself in her seat and looked at the questioner. "Did John kiss me when he said good bye? I declare I didn't notice it. Is my hat on straight, Laura?" Troy Times. "James," said the undertaker, "its about time to close the shop.

The looker-on of Tillman ic con victions whose club went back on him at the reorganization had the laugh on his delegation, iii the Court House on the 23rd of May. The discomfiture of the anti-ele ment in that convention was com plete and the small part played by the antis generally led some to doubt their clubs being repre sented at all. The endorsing reso lution was too strong a dose to follow so soon after the Greenville and Edgefield pills. The goat is usually a hard hitter but on this occasion he knocked the socks off. There are those content to adorn their persons and lodges with the scalps of their opponents, while others set the sculls of vanquished enemies on stakes about their premises, but it was left to the Tillmanites to literally roast and bake the frisky lamb of the oppo sition, and the elegant nvnm of roast lamb served in Messrs. Wat son and Timmerman's best style was highly enjoyed by every Goat rackcr present. A test vote of the opposing fac tions disclosed their, strength : Tillman, 117; Sheppard, 32. It is expected that the Columbia State in the exercise of its editorial latitude will make the official figures "extremely evenly," say six of one and half a dozen of the ? . -? *?- . . I other. Now, will Pharoah harden his heart and still refuse to let the children of Israel go, thereby in viting the visitation of other plagues? -We doubt it. After the announcement of the vote Jeems Penn commenced to figure out the percentage. Jeems allowed it was a little over barik rate, but that was enough. The way fence stradlers _lit back into camp, who had climb?d. the enclosure of the sheep fold,. was., amusing to the steadfast Goat racker. " U. BET. Union Meetings. MR.
