The Ocouee county grape growers and others interested in their industry are circulating through the State a petition asking suon modification of the faws. re? garding the manufacture of wine as will give the vineyards an opportunity to liyp. The following is a copy: "The undersigned petitioners, resi? dents and tax payers of Ocoeee county and State of South Carolina respectfully represent that the State Government, for a number of years previous to any enactment of legislation curtailing the rights of her citizens to make ana sell domestic wines without restrictions, did, through her Department of Agriculture hold out inducement to immigration and settlement; that under her genial skies, salubrious climate and adaptable soil, the grape could be grown, especially throughout the Piedmont section, in all its native perfection, rivaling the vine clad hills of France and other European countries, renowned for the cultivation of the grape and its products. Under such inducements many immigrants of the better class were persuaded to settle in our State, invest their capital in farms and engage in viticulture, as also some of our native citizens, and what was then an experiment, now if untrammelled, bids fair not only to become n success, but a remunerative branch of diversified agriclture. This adventitious result can never be realized under the restrictive measure of the Bnist Act of 1891 and the Evans Act of 1892, which so restricts the sale of domestic wines, products irom the grape, as virtually to abrogate this right of the grape grower altogether, thereby entailing Irreparable damage to their vocation, wasteful destruction of their vineyards and loss of all capital therein invested. Your humble petitioners, therefore, would most respectfully ask that those wuom they have entrusted with their rights, to lay aside factional antagonism and by the repeal of so mach of the ob? jectionable legislation complained of as relates and applies to the manufacture and sale of domestic grape wine, and thus restore the rights of the citizens en? gaged in this industry, and by this means maintain the plighted faith of the State to tn we who have engaged in this grape culture under the former fostering care shown it by the State. Unless the blighting, withering provisions of the Acts complained of are by your honor? able body reritoved, this branch of di? versified agriculture, so much needed in the South, must be abandoned by its .originators. Your petitioners believe that the relief asked for will sub? serve the. best interests of the State and would be in accord with the will of a majority of its citizens; and your 'petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray, <fcc An illustration of the need for some change in the law is given in this county in the case of a Frechman whose entire property and living are in a vineyard. His business has been ruined by the dis? pensary law and he cannot use his prop? erty in any way unless he: plows.up his vines and..uses the land to increase the cotton production of the county. DrinK and be Merry, "and Pay Tour Taxes with Bed Liquor. Newberry 'Observer. "Dispensaries will be discontinued where they are not profitable to the State." So says Governor Tillman. who is bead of the .board of control, as well as about everything else in the State. If there is yet a man who believes the dispensary is intended to diminish liquor drinking, it may be said of him that great is his faith. But this raises a very interesting ques? tion. How are the. dispensaries to be made "profitable to the State?" Of course, no good citizen will withhold bis help, if | he only kno ws what to do to make them profitable. Only tbink; if sufficiently profitable they can largely augment the funds in the State Treasury, and thoa help to re? duce State taxes?a consummation moat devoutly to be wished. Not only that, but they are capable of being still further developed, and with proper effort can be made to pay the en? tire State and county taxes. But bow is this to be accomplished.? Easily enough, if the friends of the ad? ministration will rally to its support in this its hour of need. Take this county, for instance, and for illustration. The administration bad a majority of the white voters on its side in the last general primary, and in the special primary it had nearly half?say 1,000 voters?men over twenty-one years. It is simply a question, how much these 1,000 can drink? the profit is very easily calculated in ageneral way. A gallon of ordinary liquor costs the State $1.50 and is sold for $3.00?a profit of $1.50 a gallon. Deducting 25 cents for expenses, there is left a net profit of 81.25 on every gallon sold. We once knew a man who had drank between thirty and forty gallons of corn whiskey a year for forty years?and he was a perfeotly sober- man. He drank about a gill before each meal in order to aid digestion. A gill before each meal 1b three-fourths of a pint a day; 237 pints, or thirty-four gallons a year. Who could not do that? Who is there that would not do it in the high and holy cause of reform?and retrench? ment? Now, lust suppose the 1,000 supporters of the administration in New berry coun? ty should each adopt this quantity as their portion to contribute to the help of j the cause. Thirty-four times 1,000 is 34,000 gallons?this for the Reformers, for reform's s sake, not counting what they might drink for the pure love of the stuff, nor what the wicked Conservatives and the negroes would drink. Thirty-four thousand gallons at a net profit of 51.25a gallon would amount to the snug little sum of $45,000. The connty and State taxes of the county of Newberry amount to between $00,000 and $60,000. So there would be left only somewhere about $15,000 of taxes to be raised by assessment on property. This is not allowing anything at all for the drinking that the negroes and the Conservatives would do; and, consider? ing the negro population is more than double that of the whites, and considering their love for the "creature," and also considering that the Conservatives are about 1,000 strong and are more or less addicted to the habit of taking something it is quite probable the additional $15,000 or thereabouts would be raised by the dispensary also; and then we would have no taxes at all to pay for State and county purposes?and everybody would be happy, We feel quite sure the people do not re? alize fully the great blessing they have in the dispensary law, if they will only develop it along the lines laid down in the above speculations. And let it be most distinctly understood onco for all, that "Dispensaries will be discontinued where they are not profita? ble to the State." This is fair warning to sill concerned that they most either in? crease their potations, or the dispensary will have to go. "A word to the wise is sufficient." The word is: Drink early and often. Lest we inighi incur the blame of en? couraging people to drink too much li? quor, we advise that instead of drinking the three gills every man pour that much out cn the ground each day. The im? portant point is that he buy it. He could accomplish the same purpose, bo far as the revenue and the consequent diminu? tion of taxes are concerned, if be did not buy any liquor at all but simply deposit in the dispensary every day the price of three gills. But he will accomplish the additional good purpose if he will take the three gills and throw it away. The little kingdom of Monaco levies no taxes at all upon its citizens for any purpose. The gambling saloons of Monte Carlo are under the direction and control of the government, and from them the kingdom derives a revenue suf? ficient for all purposes, and there is an annual excess of $1,000,000 over all ex? penditures. If Monaco can run its government by gambling, why may not South Car' Mna by whiskey selling? ? Philip D. Armour, the multi-mill? ionaire of Chicago, whoso diet chiefly consists of bread and milk, is travelling over Europe in search of something which his immense wealth cannot buy health and a good appetite. He is in the prime of life. His fortune is estimated at $50,000,000, which he has made since he drove a mule team across the plains of California forty-six years ago. From mule driving he entered the grain busi? ness and then pork packing, in which he amassed bis great wealth. He gave $1,500,000 to the-Chicago University and has manifested bis philanthropy in other ways. ? When the Japanese and the Core ans "hitch" a horse they do so by tying his forefeet together.

Burial of Living People* Cardinal Bonnet, Archbishop of Bor? deaux, during a debate in the French Legislature concerning the extension of] the space of twenty-four hours between the decease and interment to forty-eight hours, told a number of remarkable oc? currences that came under his own im? mediate observation, says the Plttsburg Dispatch. In the village in which he was first stationed be bad saved two per* sons.Crom being buried alive. One was an old man who lived only twelve hours after the time fixed for the interment,' but he was saved the horror of dying In a grave. The other was a man who was restored to life and lived for many years afterward. In the case of a young lady at Bordeaux, who bad just been pro? nounced dead when the cardinal called, he perceived what he thought' to be signs of life and succeeded in restoring her. The last instance recited by Cardinal Donnet caused a profound sensation. A young priest was preaching in a crowded church on a suitry day in July, 1827, when he wa* suddenly seized with gid? diness in the pulpit. He sank to the floor apparently dead; was taken home, and the funeral bell tolled. The fact was the supposed dead man was aware of every sound and move made about him. He bad tbe horror of seeing the doctor examine him, pronounce him dead, in quire after bis age, birth, etc., and gave {permission for bis interment tbe follow ng morning. The body was measured for a coffin. His Bishop recited the De Profundis. Then came tbe priest's mother. Her sorrowing voice produced a marvelovs effect, and excited him to a superhuman effort. Continuing, Cardinal Donnet said : "Of | what followed I need Bay no more than that the seemingly dead man stood next day in the pulpit from which he had been taken for dead. That youi.g priest, gentlemen, is the same man who is now speaking before you, and who, more than forty years after that event, implores those in authority not merely to watch vigilantly over tbe careful exe? cution of tbe legal prescriptions with re f;ard to interments, but enact fresh ones, n order to prevent the recurrence of i r reparable misfortune. A renowned French physician, Dr. Bourgeois, reported the revival of a young man, apparently drowned, who' had been ander water twenty minutes. The French Archi ves de Medicine record the resuscitation of individuals who had remained under water as long as six boors. The famous Dr. Chas Loude be? lieved that many persons apparently dead by drowning or asphyxia might be .brought back to lifo, while* the belief is quite general among some medical men that cholera patients are often 'burled alive. It is said that the only trustwor? thy symptom of physical dissolution is incipient decay. A celebrated anatomist named Winslow, 'Who bi'rasolf bad two narrow escapes from ante-mortem sepul? ture, emphatically pronounces .against any other sign being accepted 'as final. ? The New Yerk Mail and Express says that the American Protective Asso? ciation, now organizing throughout the country to oppose any attempt to use the Roman Catholic Church as a political or? ganization, faaa -1,500,000 "tn em bars and in Increasing its membership at the rate of | 10,000 a week. The'membership of this organisation'is made up of Democrats, Republicans and Populists, and in some of the cities of the West-has openly en? dorsed'Democratic candidates for local offices. It is said that It-has a large mem? bership in Buffalo and will make itself feltat the approaching election. ? In Judaism, as shown by Dr. Oold fron, .the number 13 is a symbol of good omen. For instance, the mercy of God in promised in 13 expressions, 13|young steers were sacrificed on the first day of Sukkotb, 13 years is the age of religious majority, Maimonides wrote 13 articles of belief. According to tbe Miahnab, in the sanctuary in Jerusalem there were 13 money boxes, 13 horns of plenty, 1$ ta? bles, 13 prostrations. Friday, too, in Ju daism is not unlucky. On Friday man was created and blessed by God. Hence the Talmud calls Friday a day of bless? ing- . Conduct of Men Coder fire.. A comrade near me is busily engag? ed in reading his Testament. This is a peculiarity of his. Just before we were going into the fight before this one, we were marching along, when the advance found the enemy and skirmishing began. We were drawn up by the side of the road in readiness to go promptly wherever we might be wanted, and there we waited as the fire grew hot and hotter. As soon as there was a possibility that we might be called upon, I saw him reading his Testament. He reads it now under like circumstances, because he finds some consolation in it and it; takes his mind from what is going on around him?from what is cefore him. He is a better soldier for this. When the time comes for action he is as brave as any one. He knows the danger, but has the courage to face it; and this is his way of*?xeeping up his courage until the excitement of action destroys al) thought of danger. Other men have other ways of doing this. Here is the captain. He is a little apart from the others ; is saying nothing, but is apparently thinking deeply and is industriously whittling twigs, which he puts into his mouth as if they were toothpicks, throwing one away every moment to put in another one. Here is another com? rade who has no desire for conversa? tion ; whose thoughts are evidently far away. He is busy picking up twigs and breaking them into bits. Like the captain, he is keeping his fingers busy as a relief to his thoughts ?as a balm/for nervousness. Here is a man whose face is "white as a sheet." He is afraid, but no more so than those around him. He knows that he may be killed at any moment, but is possessed of that higher kind of courage which enables him to go calmly wherever duty calls, or to meet any danger nobly which may lie in the path of duty. Here is one who shows no sign of anxiety or fear, but he is no more brave than the others. When we first took this position he was very sick, but he is now ready for any duty. The excitement or the dread was too much for him at first and "went to his stomach," but that is over. It was only physical to be sure ; but the cause was mental, and the removal of the physical disturbance haB relieved the mental cause. This internal dis? turbance is no uncommon thing under the first excitement of going into bat? tle ; and of times in these circumstan? ces the soldier fears that he is going to prove to be a coward, but this feel? ing overcome, he is as brave as he could wish. Another comrade is reading a letter?the last one he re? ceived?and he is well aware that it may be the last one he will receive. Ah, well, we know where his thoughts are, and we sympathize with him, for are not our thoughts all on our homes and our loved ones there ? Every man here understands to the fullest extent the danger he is in; but he iB brave enough to remain here, to go further, if need bo, for country and flag; and, yet just now hiB thoughts are with the loved ones and from many a heart goeu up a silent prayer for God's blessings upon them, whatever may happen to him. His thoughts are for their happiness, not for his own welfare. Thus, in various ways, do the comrades show their peculiarities under this terrible artil? lery fire. Some are trying to keep their thoughts busy by conversation, some by joki..g, some are silently smoking, some are in deep meditation. ? The kid was taking his first les? sons in arithmetic. "If you eat one apple now, and one ten minutes later, what will that make?" asked the teacher. "Two," responded the young mathematician. "Then if you eat two more what will that make ?" "Four." "Then three more, what will that make ?" The boy hesitated a moment. "Green or ripe ?" be in? quired. "What difference i? it ?" asked the teacher in somejl >rise. "A good deal," responded^Heboy; "if they're green three r?&S$ make me have a pain;" JBlrf Reasoning by a Dog. "I have a strange story of animal reasoning," said Miss Elizibeth Cant well. "At my home, in New York city, I nave a little dog of the fox terrier breed to which I am devotedly attached. The little creature is of a confiding and loving nature, and we think a great deal of each other. "Ever since the dog came into my possession he has worn a certain col? lar, with a license tag attached, and was taught to fetch the collar from the kitchen when it desired to go out far a walk. One day I purchased a new collar, and, putting it around the dog's neck without attaching the li? cense tag, we started out for a walk. The dog was running along some dis? tance in advance of me when the dog catcher suddenly appeared in front of it and, lassoing it with a wire noose, carted my pet off to the pound in spite of my indignant protestations and tearful entreaties. It was two days before I could unravel the red tape system of recovery and secure possession of my dog. All the way home it whined and cringed as though ashamed of itself, and seemed to real? ize that it had been disgraced. For several days it acted as if it was severely ill, but finally recovered its wonted good nature and liveliness. It was a beautiful day, and I thought I would take it out for a walk. I again fastened the new collar around its neck, but was unable to coax the lit? tle animal to leave the house with me. I begged and threatened, but all to no avail. It would not come with me, and I abandoned the idea of .a walk. I went into the front room and took off my bonnet and jacket. In the meantime the dog had run out into the kitchen, and in a moment re? turned carrying in its mouth the old collar with the license tag attached. This it laid at my feet and then beg? ged in its usual custom to go out. I made the change of collars, and the dog followed me without any urging The next day I tried the same trick, but the dog would not leave the house .with the new collar. It seemed to reason that something Was lacking about the collar which had got it into serious trouble. I determined to see if there was anything in the dog's reasoning, and the next day had the tag attached to the new collar. The little creature never hesitated a mo? ment, but followed me just the same as it had done for many months with the old collar. That afternoon I tried the old collar without the tag, but the rascal would not move a step. "Do yo mean to tell me that that dog had not reasoned out the cause of its previous misfortune? It knew the tag was its protector and abso? lutely refused to leave the house with? out it." _ His Chum. A newsboy, small, wiry, with eyiss like a ferret, and a clenched fist, sat on the curbstone crying in an aggres? sive way .when a pedestrian halted and laid his hand on the youngster's shoulder. "What's wrong, sonny ?" "I ain't yer sonny." "Well, what's wrong, my boy ?" "Ain't yer boy, either. Lcmme be." "Oh, see here now, what's the row ? Lost five cents in the gutter?" "Naw, I ain't?oh. oh, oh !" "Spit it out, then. '"Me chum's dead." "Oh ! that's another thing. How did he happen to die ?" "Runned over." "So ? Was there an inquest ?" "Inques' nothin'. He jest hollereu onoet and rolled over dead. An' I wish I was dead, too, along of him." "Cheer up I You can find another chum." "Yer wouldn't talk that way if you'd kuowed Dick. He was the besjt friend lever had. Thre warn't noth }n* Dick wouldn't a done for me. An' now he's d-d-dead an' buried. I'm a wishin' I was too." "Look here," said the man, "go and sell your papers, and take some poor little ragged boy and be a chum to him. It'll help you and do him good." "Pshaw,- Mister, where's there a boy wot'd go round nights with me an' be cold an' hungry an' outen doors, an' sleep on the groun' like Dick ? An' he wouldn't tech a bite till I'd had enuff. He were a Chris? tian, Dick were." "Then you can feel that he's alright if he was such a faithful friend and good boy." "Boy ? Dick a boy ?

Got 'Em Mixed, "A laughable incident occurred here recently,' said a well-known clerk, lately. "It is customary in checking bundles and valises at the hotel stand to give a check lo the guest and retain the other one on the straps. Well, the other day two valises nearly alike were checked. "Now, a check-stand man makes an error sometimes, and gets the numbers of checks twisted around. He check? ed these particular valises during a rush, and excitedly gave the duplicate checks to the waiting guests. The re? sult was a little Buttercup mixture in which the lady got the check belong? ing to the gentleman, and vice versa. The baggage was taken up to the re? spective rooms. The young man, who is especially modest, was horrified on opening the valise he had received. It contained by actual inventory a box of pink powder, a curling iron, some immaculate linen, a veil, a box of broad gauge hairpins, and a glove but? toner. "A scream wafting over the transom of a neighboring room on the same floor demonstrated that the young lady had discovered the contents of the valise she had received, which right? fully belonged to the honified young man. Its contents consisted of a bottle of McBrayer Extract, a deck of Hoyle, one Smith & Weston, one large stick of mustache wax, a paper of smoking tobacco, and a temperance essay. There was a wild rush for the check stand, mutual explanations fol? lowed and the error was straightened out. But, say it would be embar? rassing, don't you know." ?

Had Enoa "The othor day when I was in Chi cag" The man with the long hair was im? proving his eleventh opportunity to tell a little incident which happened during his stay at the fair. "Now, look here, Cy," put in his companion, "do stop right where you are. I know thit you were at the fair, and that you rode in the Ferris wheel, breathed Lake Michigan air from the roof of the Manufactures building, did the Midway and rode in a gondola. That's enough, if I know the rules of supply and demand." "As I was saying," persisted he of tho long hair, "the other day when I was in Chic" "Goodby, old man," was the exas? perated interruption which for the second time put a stop on the long haired man's story. "Not mad, I hope, just because I proposed telling a very amusing inci? dent which happened to happen when I was in Ch" "Say, do you remember the Centen? nial ?" "Remember the Centennial ?? Course I do ! Wasn't I there, and didn't I see the whole show from be? ginning to end ? Was I at the Centen? nial ? What a question! Time and again I have told" "That's just the trouble. Now, as I remember, the Centennial was 17 years ago." "Yes." "And you went." "Yes." "And when you got back you had considerable to say about what you saw there." "Yes." "Well, your hair may be long, Cy, and I may be chock full of patience, and your list of incidents wbioh hap? pened when you'were in Chicago may be four miles long, but I'll tell you one thing right now. I've had enough." "Not mad, I hope, just because I pro"? "No," was the reply, "I am not mad. I was only thinking. For 17 years I've listened patiently to your never ceasing incidents about the Cen? tennial. We bought a piece of land together sold lots from it at the same time, both built cottages at the same time, side by side, and married twin sisters on the same day. I've tried to do the right thing by you always. Whenever you would get on one of these Centennial streaks I've tried to look interested. I've laughed when you laughed, have said 'wonderful' when you said 'wonderful' and in other ways have strived to use you white. Now, in the face of all this you won't let up. I heard you say the Columbian show is ten times bigger than the Centennial, and that there is ten times as much going on." "That is so." "Well, if you think I am patiently going to submit to your little inci? dents' of the World's fair for 170 years right on top of these 17 years of incidents about the Centennial, we might as well break friendship right here." And the long haired man is still looking for his eleventh opportunity to tell what it was that happened when he was in Chicago the other day. ?Chicago Tribune. Jags In a Spring. Connellsville, Pa., October 1.? A most remarkable story reached here to-day from Trump Hollow, a favorite resort in the mountains, about five miles east of town. The report is to the effect that a spring of water of peculiar chemical power has been discovered. The discovery was made by a band of Hungarians who were thrown out of work by the shut-down iu the coke region and who have been spending most of their time hunt? ing. Two Connellsville. sportsmen were traveling through that section yester day,Jwhen they unexpdetedly came across the Huns, who were lounging about in the shade, near the spring. The Huns motioned for the sportsmen to come nearer, and invited them to drink some of the waters- The sports? men complied, reluctantly at first, but willingly after they had tasted it. The more they drank the more they thirsted for the water. Presently they began to feel hilarious, and be? came light-headed. The Huns joined them in the debauch, and soon all be? came intoxicated. A few of the Huns who had been drinking before the arrival of the sportsmen were stretched out on the ground very much intoxicated. The Huns declared that they had been coming to the spring every day for the last five weeks and had always succeeded in getting intoxicated; and they claim the water to be as good as the best whiskey. The sportsmen say that the water acts as a stimulant and as soon as one begins to drink it he feels hilarious, and it is an effort to keep from laughing. A party of physicians left this af? ternoon for Trump Hollow to investi? gate the matter. The report has roused considerable interest among the people here. At least fifty peo? ple went up to the Hollow this after? noon to see the spring.?Pittsbnrg Dispatch. He Left It to Her. A landlord recently met a surprise in a guest who had come down from the country with his wife for a short pleasure trip and had been assigned to one of the best rooms in the house. During their first night at the hotel their neighbors were kept awake by a fearful row" between the new arri? vals. It raged long and loud, and it was evident that the husband had for? gotten Bulwer and fine sentiment and had laid his hands on his wife not in the way of kindness. The whole hotel was scandalized, and when the oouple appeared in the morning, the lady with a widespread black eye and other marks of conjugal attentions the proprietor told them they must leave. "Oh, come now, landlord, you don't mean that. We like your house, we like our rooms, and we don't want to go." "But I can't have you whipping your wife here. Every guest will leave. I won't have such things in my house," persisted the boniface, regarding with indignant pity the lady's brused face and half closed eye. "Come now, landlord, seems to me you're a little hasty. We had a little disturbance last night, but that doesn't occur every night. It might not hap? pen again in a week?in a month maybe," expostulated the guest ap nealingly. Then turning on his wife's battered countenance a look full of confidence in her support, "Might it, Sally ?" Extraordinary Bookkeeping A case ef extraordinary bookkeep? ing is the following told to a reporter of a Yankton paper, of a hotel-keeper out in that wild country : "The land? lord could neither read nor write. He did not know how to ?pell his own name, but he did a thriving business and collected every dollar of his ac? counts. Once, years ago, when I first came to this country, I went to his ho? tel and stopped there two weeks. When I left he presented me with a statement of what I owed him, and it was a curi? osity. He had copied it from his ledger. At the top of the sheet there was a rude picture of a soldier on the | march, and after it three straight marks. Then there was a scene show? ing a man at a table eating. Then ap? peared a bed with a man in it. In the mount column there was a picture of a doll, and after it the two letters RS. After the picture of a man eating, there were forty-two marks. After the view of a man in bed there were fourteen marks. I looked at the ac? count, then at the proprietor, and told him it would take me a week to an? swer that conundrum. I was com? pletely stumped, and when the hotel man deciphered the account for me it was this : The picture of the soldier walking meant March, and the three marks supplied the date, March 3, when I began boarding. The man at the table with forty-two marks after it indicated that I had eaten forty two meals. The man in bed with fourteen marks show? 1 that I had slept in the house fourteen nights. The doll with RS after it meant dol? lars, and in the figure columns appear? ed the figure 14, which was the amount I owed him. And it was a true bill." Got the Pass Word. There were a number of Alliance men in town last Monday week, and one who remained over that night, seeing a light in the Masonic Temple, concluded he would attend the meet? ing of the local sub-Alliance, which he imagined to be in session there. He went up to the door and rapped. The wicket was opened and a gruff voice asked : "Who's there ?" "I plow, I spade, I hoe," replied the Alliance brother. "The H?1 you say !" said the voice within, and the wicket was slammed in the Allianceman's face. After waiting a time without being admitted, the Allianceman came down, hunted up a brother of the order, ana told him that he had been up to the Alliance, given the pass-word and failed to gain admittance. This brother said^to him: "Don't you know that this is the Knights of Pythias hall?" "You have given away the Alliance password ?" "I don't care," said the Alliance man, "I got his." "What did he say to you," was asked ?" "The H?1 you say I" said the Alli? anceman, "and that is their pass? word."?Sumter Watchman. ?
