(fle6iriterl hud gAith'er about o'!for i'e is -a niost attractive gen leman, handsome, bright, full of in. tances, and pcrfectly frank. v Itni pice learned never -to ry tp keep anything hid from a news p1Mftfln! Ihb laugihed. "'Thdy%llke .loaf in my office, and I do not stint tell them anything. If I show con. denn 41tlb mih they nev'6 abuse it; ut heii I try to keep secrets they t imem anyhow and then do as they 00gy , them. or instance, I got 'a letter once rop a man in Germany. I put it in y'pocket and never mentioned it to soul. Next day a reporter came to y'office and told me all about it." "Well, then,'' said a reporter, ''we want -your views about the Parker roposition-a southern candidate for president. "I have no 'views' '' lie said. ''As to South Carolina, it will have no can didate to offer." "But I see some papers speak of you in that connection,'' the reporter continued. "Yes,',' lie said. ''But.: of course, there's nothing in that but pleasantry. What do you think of the Parker proposition ?'" This parry meant an end to the top ic, and the reporter turied his attent tion to his persooal plans in politics. "'My teri expires soon.'' said the goveriiory ''ad then I intend to -etire from politics fMr a while any Way andl turii my attenition to private business. Whelithier I shall retire per manently or not I cannot now say, b)e ing a young man and( not knowing what may turn uip.'' He wanted, to be pheasant-perhaps lic cannot help being 'pleasant-but lhe did not want to he interviewed. Mr. Osnmond Barringei( eame inan the governor at once became interest ed in his family coninections. He had be-en a schoolmate of one of Mr. Barringer's brothers, had had another as his guest recently, and1 had knowne his father. This puit him into re mininiseences of other families. When sonmc on'e expressed surprise at his wide acquaintanceship, he said lie had a' reputationi on that score. "'My mother came from the low country' of South Carolina, my fath er fromn Georgia,s I was .bo'rn in Co. lumbhia, educated in Pennsylvania and Virgitia) mrniied-Uin Virginia, and ami an Episnohian. That's a great mix ture to get governor-timber from, isn't it?'' This e'pression was incidentail to his reputation for kniowing pleIl. *Just then entered Mr. John Ross, whom the0 governor had met here at the Greater Charlotte club banquet. It was ft chance to test his reputation. He recognized Mr. Ross immediately, atnd said, 'Now, therelI'' to the oth, ets. "This reminds me of an occurrence n nmy office today," 'Ihe declared. ''A gbod m ony of my friends were in there, when someone told mue there d use dountrymnan outside whol wanit ed. to isc me. Hie says lie met you at ,a 'picnic several years ago.' I was tol#l@'an@I hothueaId tell, that. you never' fo(iet.people~ . Ho -wants to see if 'oi"'nenber him.

But sup. pose I guess that it's Smith.' "He laughed, 'You knowed,' he said." The governor carries sunshine along with him. It is not hard to acconit for his popularity, aud, being a young nian, if iombthing does turn up :il the future to&dravhi'Mn again intbo pol itics, there is- no danger of 'id being defeated. Governor Heyward went out on the same train which brought Senator Tillman in. The distinguished spon sor for the rate bill was the guest of Mr. D. A. Tompkins in the M'nufac turers' club. He was here only be tween trais, aid hadnotlijng of im )ortance to say for piblication. The.senator had just coine. from meting with the board of trustees of Clenson college, lie being the presi deit of the boar. Amoig 6th'r things about the college, lie said*:thet his degire is that it shall be so organ ized that cotton mill men may leave their work a week or a month or a year, as they njay desire, -and take in struction in the tetile de;paWment. There is much need of this sort'of op. portunity for the 'men who cannot afford the time for a four-years' course. Of course everybody in the club wanted to get about him and hear what lie had to say. He was in fine feather and in a mood for jollying. ''You Charlotte people,'' he said, in connection with reference to the dispensary question, "being prohibi tionists, drink your jugs and' kegs, in stead of taking it by drinks, half pints and pints, as my friends are do ing iii South Carolin.a.'' He had left his pitchfork in Wash ington. iThe only regret the reporter hhd was that the two South Carolinians did not overlap. Schurz's Flight From Germany. Carl Schurz is spending these last Iyears of his varied career in a useful and leaising task. His ''Reminis eenees of a Long Lie' now..runningr in McClure's -Magazine, grip us all, young and old, with their vitality, in ter'estinug subject matter, and the gossip)ing smotnthniess and intimacy of their sty~le. Thlese memoirs began pubhieation in November, and in the April numhber Mr. Schurz is fleeing f rom Germany after - the Revolution of 1848 in which he played such an e'xcitinig b)ut unsuccessful part. Af' ter secveral stirring chapters lie will begin the p)ublication 'of his Ameri can m'emoirs, wvhich will furnish a running comnmentalry on American his tory from the early fifties, through the Civil War, and down to the pres ent day. But for the p)resent we hold our br'eath at the recital of those (lays in the heart of the enemies' country, when Sch.urz with a price onm his head plotted the escap)e of his friend, Pro fessor Kinkel. WVhen these Reminis eenee's wer*e announced, none' of us expected anythiing so exciting as this. TPhe A pril inst alhn'en t, ''Rescuing Kinkel fromi Spandau Jail'' is much better thanm your usual successful story of adventure, b)ecause it is true every wvord of it, and you know you aedealing with flesh and blood per sons to whom a hitch would have meant disaster. After the surrender of Riastatt, Kinkel was imprisoned und(er life sentence in the penitenti ary of Spandau near Berlin. His friends conceived a lot of rescue, leaving thme entire matter in young Schurz 's hands. HIe tells hiow elev erly lie escaped detection at Spanidau, howr at templt ofter~ attempt to bribe Kinmkel 's jailers failed, an(d howy fin ally the i'ight one was found, and mont hs of schemes and stratagem were brought to a head, a trifi up set everything. But Schurz and his accolices ncCepted on thme heel ot thmis failure a desperate chance, res 'ced Kinkel, and started across Ger many for the Baltic Sea. Th'is is strong, clean, truthful, adventurmous yiting. One's chief criticism is that, tie installment is too shoit. i4 folcVWrItt6nWich v paldtp life Insuran,e face val4 20 to 32 y rs d y'Othe OIany, *, a ~ policyr Whata In Mclure'e. McClure's for -Aril has the fil6sh n eerfuln es of spring. You .,111 want to read it fall. Iti articles, stories and versest have a Irare charm for the shortening evenings. Mary Stewart "Cutting's "'Symphony In Coal," Which heads the table of con tents, is another of those fasciiating sympthetic stories of married life. The most hairtVaising chapter 'of ad venture that has been publisfied in a loig time is 'the 'sikth Iiithhent of Carl Schurz's "Reminiscences of a Long Life:'.' "Rescuing Kinkel from Spandau Jail ".is a story of intrigue and hairbreadth chances in the shad ow of the gallows, told vith the hap py swing of yoxith, that 'holds you from first word to last. Best of all it is true. "Some Diet -Delusions' by Dr. Wood Hutchinson, is not only amusing; it has a very defliite pur pose, it scarces away -the old bogies. After.you have read it, you will eat a square meal with a clear conscience. Perhaps the most timely paper in the number is Perceval Gibbon's sketch of:Count Witte, who is the crux of the situation .in Russia.- Mr. Gibbon has studied his subjeot at first'hand, and his deduction is daring and surpris ing. 'Clara Morris contributes anoth er charming chapter of reminiscences of the world behind the curtain, through which walk many of the old actors and actresses of our early days. Stewart Edward White's fourth Arizona Nights story, ''The Ranch Foreman's Yarn;'' the Cattle Rustler story, gives a phase of western life about which little has been writteti hitherto. The story defines a bad man in no uncertain terms. Other fiction in this splendid number is: ''Identi fying Anne" 'by Jeanette Cooper; ''The Struggles and Triumph of Ist dro de -los Aiaestros'" by James Hop per; "Two Pairs of Shoes!' by Jo seph Lincoli.; ''The Snitcher'' by Fred L. Boalt; and "Mr. Nickerson's Star" by AMary Moss. The poems are: ''On the Ranch'' by Moira O'Neill, "Give Courage, Lord " by L. B. Bridgian. ''Song of the Souls that Failed'' by Marion Couthouy Smith. There is an interesting edi torial by Ray Stannard Baker . which leaves no doubt about the grounds on which Mr. E. L. Philipp) of Milwaukec brings his suit~ against McClure's. Tfhe -number is beautifully illustra tedl by such artists as Alice Barber Stephens; Charlotte Harding, W. Ha therell1, Mfartini Justice, George Varian, N. C. Wyeth, and Mary Pres LOW RATES TO NEW ORLEANS The Southern Railway will sell tick ets to New Orleans, La., and return at extremely low rates from pro'mi nent points (a few of wvhich are nam ed1 below) as followvs: Barriwell.... ........ ..$14 05 Camden.--.--.--...........15 .35 Charleston-.-.-............15 75 Columbia.-.--.--.--.-....14 40 Chester.-.--.--.--.--.-.....14 70 Rock Hill ...,-........15 15 Orangeb)urg .........14 75, Yor~kville.--.----.--......14 55 Equally lowv rates from other points:.
