A Trying Experience Humorous. Editor Edgefield Advertiser: Below please find a' little ence that may arrest the attei your readers, and to those c who are students of sociology interesting, not because it is* ceptional one, but because it There are those who will t that it is one of the outcomes agitation for equal suffrage contend that it lies deeper tha and furthermore, that the ag for equal suffrage was an 01 of that social deterioration' depicted. Weary of bone and flesh w< glad when we heard the porter "Southern train for Augusta,' all the rest that'goes with it) soothing, after a strenuous ( the fair! We would now get ? i for a good, long rest and pe incidently snooze a "wee bit.' did we? There were something like coaches. After threading sever gave up the search and of she cessity consigned our weary in a l?aning posture to a space cifully vacant behind the last next to the rear door. This seat was occupied by tw< tlemen who told each other thal bad come early to get that sea they meant to keep it.'Why tc After assuring ourselves that we were doing was the best w g?n to take in what was goir around us. We saw frail women, bendin] der the weight of babies, and ? times leading another, search in for seats and pass out the fu door without a response from ai the many gentlemen who were fortably seated. How we wishe lhad seats to give them. We overheard someone say ?ought to have had better sense Ito have come, but that is irrele 'The fact remains that such a 1 .could and did happen in the p . State of the Palmetto. Later we spied two valises-u ?the shadow of the seat behind v. vwe stood, and in desperation on us said to the other, "Let's turn t down and sit on them." But as 1 ning darteth out of the east and i ?eth even unto the west, so dai ?out from a seat opposite, a i ?and he snatched them away! i :for rest! When we had recov ifrom our surprise and-well, ?grin-one of us said to the ol ."Do you suppose there was anyt ;in there that would break?" Our presence got very oppres .to the gentlemen in the seat be .which we stood^and they begai squirm. N?ty you are thinking ;are going to say they bowed us 'their seals, but they didn't. Had 1 "we shoulti'have written "Here en< .the story?' ;but it doesn't. Inst ^one of thefti suggested that we m ?find. seats "a't the upper end of 'coach. (Sharp as a darning need! We thanked him for his interese ?courtesy(?) and gently but fir Reminded him that on account of ing standing we could see all the \ up to the other dob^ and there i not probably any. t To relieve them pf theil un countable embarrassment beca there were women standing aror rwe went over and fished some wa papeT out of the empty coal bin i perched upon the edge of the bin When the conductor came ale J lie promised Us S?ftt?, but all he coi ' do was to say he had tri?d, threatened to demand them," but ?objected to that, we didn't feel Jl tifiable in taking that sort of se notwithstanding our utter despei tion, call it what you may. He root a valise out from somewhere and i sisted that we turn it do.wn and i on it, but we suggested that the might be something in there th would break! "Oh," he said, "I ne er thought of that," . (evidently relative of Everett True.) We gri ned and he grinned and we stuck the coal bin. Just across the grill work back i us were two gentlemen exchangir most interesting confidences, san ,wiching them with these necessai adjuncts at the lower ends of a -mill-ponds. They were in a good hi :mo*? so we argued they were sho: s onvwqrds and that one came in ha] . dy. Yk> hadn't thought of it befor ! but ;-a$diectives may be scarcer an . more inadequate than the other pari ? of-speech. . Every few minutes some restles : se?tless youth opened the door an let. in the .icy .air and a volume c < cigarette smoke. We did not so muc i mind the., air,; but the smoke was s disagreeable.we;had to take refug behind :the seat again. Tobacco is lik ; onions, youjhaye to eat onions i -.self defense when your men do, an ; they ought to quit tobacco or bu usn a- pipe? and a can of "Prince Al . bert." ,;Ofleppaw: fellow came by and hes itated, looked up the coach and pass i ed nn.nruttering-i'fthey want to vot now let 'em stand up." He must havi wanted to vote too. for somebod; was letting him? stand , up ! We fai to see any connection between votinj . and standing up, unless it be tha we have to stand up for . what ii right. We got instructions to keep, an ey< on a certain seat because the peoph were going to get off at the nex stop. We kept, an eye on it, but thal was all of. us ..that got .on i\, sonu men beat us to it! By this.time we had gotten so ah solutely. desperate and soul and body bone and. marrow were about to pari company. We were thinking serious ly of collapsing, .in a heap, the price of our suits alone standing between us and that fatal move, when some how .we conceived the. : idea ..that ii we .moved forward up the car, some body., might get off near us. That very thing, happened and we landed safely into one of .tho. Southern's luxurious .red plush seats. Something brought the conviction that we had beat a man to it, which was. we are ashamed to confess, comforting in the extreme. Thus endeth a true story. E. A. D. Serious Results from Colds. Colds not.only cause a tremendous financial loss but are also a serious injury to every one who contracts them as they lower, the vitality and ^prepare the system for the more serious diseases. It is not at all un usual for people who have serious lung trouble to say "I had a hard cold last winter." Why not take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and cure your cold while you can.
