VOL XX. BARNWELL SOUTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY MAY jo, %. “SAREY” BY CHARLES SLOAN REID. [From The I’urititn, by ipecial permis sion^ of |he publishers, Munsey <fc Co., N. .] ^ It was a dark nifcht that settled down over the mountains of upper South Carolina. The sky was Heavy -with black clouds, and the low muttering* of thunder which seemed to itsuo from the ravines and gorges, and the zigzag dashes of lightning which darted away from the hilktopa^ ait foreUtid ihe com' ing storm. —. - Down over the rocks and among the shrubs a young-mountaineer was mak ing his way. Be seemed to know his ground, and moved onward with un hesitating step until he reached a point overlooking a deep, wild'gorge, where far down through the da-kneee, shone the faint glow of alight The young woodsman stopped a moment then mattered: ** Bn’s lbar already. 'Fears to me that Are makes too much light though.

New hope had sprung up in Alf's bosom since Sarey had told him of Tom’s treachery. Now he bad dis covered that Bob loved her. He re solved to keep the secret of his own love, for Bob’s sake; and again the hope passed from his heart Z When the ram ceased, the two men arose ; and, while one of them dragged thw-fire from under the furnace, the other removed the cap from the still, and then placed a corncob in the bung- bole of the keg that held the product —“ Bob, 1 guess we’d better move the still to a safer place this very night” suggested A if. “ Nary a move, Aif ! This still has been here nigh on to seven years, and here she’s a gwiae to stay.” “ Ail right if you say so ; I'm not the man to step off and leave you.” “ Aif, you caa tote the keg down to the burnt poplar aa you go home, aad I’ll stay her* till she cools off, and the disgraceful doin’s o’ Tom ; and — and, Aif, 1 axed bur if tbar warn’t airy ’nuther feller she liked jeat as well aa she did Tom: and she 'lowed she alters liked you j*8t as well, but you never seemed to like her. Now I've told you, Aif, and I want to know if you love her.” “I allers have, Bob; but I stood back for Tom ; and arter what you said t’ other night, I was a gwine to stand back for you." Again that sensation as of the heart rULpg into the throat came to Bob, ana the two men rode on in silence. The sun was swiftly dropping to wards the crests of the western hills when Bob and Aif stopped in front of old Jerry Mauldin's long,lftJHWHcabin. Sarey was sitting In the open hallway, shelling beans; but she arose and camp out to the road when the two men had dismounted. " Tom’s been seed a foolin’ around Long Creek to-day,” said Sarey, “and l meant to tend you uo« word afore now. but pap's been ailin' all day, and 1 oonldn’t leave him." — ” We aia't much afeared of him,'* kinder straighten things up afore 1 go. | said AT “ He's been a keepla' quiet longer n 1 'spected, tbougu ' “ ‘ for him etiil idokls at I to bouse m0 4+ | >% & * * •teat A IP* vfcap% ttfci MM %MI I MM • *9*4+ MMfe M **4 I Mm b MtAM ft 4 I HI meet you at the buret poplar agin I a slgbt j | daybreak in the eMraie'.’* “We’ve been a Aif shouldered the heavy plan keg. {come dowc ee u end, passing through the doorway, afore bow,*’ added Hob «” •as soon to*t to view la the dark sees “ Sarey. bare yon got aay cider/" Hob agate seated himself oa the beech. naked AIL “ We're kinder intretf.*2 eith bis ehla labia heeds aad gave I ’’^^le ef It.

His task completed, he turned to Sarey, who stood in the doorway. “ I’ll walk home with you,” he said. Bob threw some water un the dying embers of the tird, then led toe way through the dark, wet woods, followed closely by Sarey, neither of them speaking a word until they came to the highway, about a mile distant. They did not have far to go after they had reached the road. When Bob bade Sarey good night, he gulped down another choking sen sation which arose in his throat, 1 and turned about to retrace his way tome distance along the road before turning off toward his own home. In less than twenty four hours every moonshiner throughout the mountain district knew tbat Tom Drake had turned .traitor aad joined tbe revenue force against his old comrades.

Bob Rankin and Tom' Drake had settled the question of honor between themselves, and had settled the ques tion of love for Aif and Sarey. T^c-Tbe origin of South Carolina's so briquet “ the Palmetto State.” is thus explained “ On June 28, 1778, a force of less than 100 Carotimans, under command of Moultrie, protected by the rude fortification on Sullivan's island in Charleston harbor, made of the trunks of'the r palmetto repulsed the attack of a British fleet, under com mand of Sir Peter Parker and when the Slate Of South Carolina wan or ganised, the State **‘al, which was first used ia May, 1777, was made to ootemwmoraie this victory.

There propOaition* have been under con sideration for some time, and’ were not acted on, but in view of the fact that a change of base may be necessary they become quite interesting. For instance, it is said that Mr. Caldwell Robertson has offered the dispensary authorities tbe use of the warehouse on Gervais street, below tie Union depot, which is now partially occupied as a batting factory. It is understood that the proposition made was that tbe State could have the building at the same price it now pays . . 'I** 01 open Another idea is to rent the ol for drayage.
