Union, Jan. 30.?An incident that caused considerable excitement last night occurred at the Hotel Union between Messrs. P. D. and G. B. Barron and J. M. Clardy* hotel clerk. It seems that during the afternoon 4 the ladies of the hotel complained about the conduct of several male guests of the hotel, and Mr. Clardy, as clerk, was instructed to have it v stopped. In pursuance of this duty he had some words with Mr. G. B. Barron last night. After he had thought everything was amicably settled, Mr. P. D. Barron, with his 1 brother, Mr. G. B. Barron, and Mr. L. L. Motte, came into the lobby, and Mr. P. D. Barron at the cigar eonnter cursed Mr. Clardy, who took up a glass tumbler at hand and threw L it at Mr. P. D. Barron, striking him over the left eye and inflicting quite a gash. Mr. G. B. Barron then came 1 to his brother's assistance, and drew . a pistol which he fired twice at Mr. Clardy but missed him, and came >v near striking Mr. Motte; in fact, singeing his hair. Both the Messrs. . Barron and Mr. Clardy were brought before Mayor Young this morning. Mr.' G. B. Barron was fined $100 or , ; 50 days and P. D. Barron's case, on v account of his having court duties .this week, was held over until Feb. 11. Mr. Clardy was sentenced $25 for assault, but in view ot nis carry' ing out instructions he was dismissi ed and* the sentence suspended as he r was acting in accordance with his duty, f. f Personal Mention. ?Mr. and Mrs. G.

Sprague, of Wilmington, has filed suit in the U. S. court at Charleston for $10,000 4 against Mayor P. A. Hodges of Ben> nettsville for defamation of characv ter.; Mrs. Sprague formerly conducted a hotel at Bennettsville and Ur: alleges that in the recent senatorial f campaign in Marlboro in which Mr. !v Hodges was opposed by Senator T. I. Rogers that defendant said, "I soon found that Mrs. Sprague was running one of the most notorious joints in the country and that there is not r* one in Charleston that will surpass r it," whereby plaintiff alleges that she has been injured in her reputation /to the extent of $10,000. The matter originated in the arrest of Mrs. Sprague by the town council for tunning a blind tiger. ? ' Incendiary Origin. ^ Sheriff John H.

It is likely that the Senate tmll riftss thp Kill Thprp to be no doubt but that the dispensary will be killed. County dispensaries or prohibition will be the law adopted. The dispensary investigators find that Mr. John Black, one of the State directors of the institution, ? after purchasing $125,000 worth of liquor, most of it at an excess of the market price, is out of the State and also that he is sick.

' "% :' ' " :' o- o &Ae Inevitable Han By IZOLA FORRESTER Copyright, 1906, by Ruby Douglas O C3 "Wait," laughed Jolly Allan, prophetically wagging his forefinger at the two figures in the hammock. "Just you girls wait until the inevitable man shows up and see where your friendship will be. Pouf! Bing! Up in smoke." "There have been men"? began XI C11V 1VIU1J. "I said the inevitable man," protested Jolly?"the man, the right and only one. I know there have been; wasn't I one of them last year? But, honest, It will do me a world of good to see the right one come along and have both of you girls fall in love with him? your tastes are so similar, you know." He dodged the cushion that whizzed from the hammock in his direction dexterously. "And then see the tumble in girl loyalty. You won't speak to each other, and every time the other one goes by with the inevitable man the one that's frozen out will say, Cat.'" "Jolly, there is a limit, you know, even to your imagination." Dorothy Arnold rose from the hammock and stood a moment, her arms upraised as she fastened in some refractory bair? I m? ?""n nwntfr. n rm o nlnmn pi US. ilic; ?CIC yicu; uim^, tanned and bare to the elbows. So was their owner pretty?the very prettiest girl at Northern Lights except one, and that one her closest friend, Irene Nethersby. It was nearly a month since the two girls had come to the inn at Northerfa Lights to-spend their summer vacation. The "Lights'' was not a fashionable resort, strictly speaking; its guests and their doings were not chronicled In the Sunday papers, but to those who knew and loved it it had beauties far beyond Newport or Atlantic City. Perched high on the pine crested bluff overlooking the sea was the inn. Winding woodland paths led to it from the shore, and back in the hills were trout brooks and deep glens. Long before the inn and its satellite cottages had been there the lighthouse had held its own upon the rocks of the bluff, and it was the light from Its lamps which had given the north point of Shelter island its name, Northern Lights. It was an odd summer crowd that filled the inn?students resting, students studying, people in search of peace above all?and yet about these steady guests, who came year in and year out, there played perpetually the transient, merry summer butterflies, who came and went with the weekly steamer. Jolly Allan was a permanent fixture! As son of the owner of Northern Lights at large he occupied a privileged position. But even with Dorothy's dark eyes gazing at him in haughty disapproval he did not retract one word. "Just wait," he said. "Last year he didn't come, but he will this time." Arm in arm the two girls walked leisurely down one of the cliff paths that led to the boat landing. Both were tall, both slender and golden haired as sisters, but Dorothy's eyes were dark and grave, and Irene's were blue as the bluebells that grew in the rock crannies at her feet They were cousins and college mates as well. Every year only drew them nearer together and made their, friendship more sure, and with all their little love affairs there had' never been a shadow of rivalry. Halfway down the bluff the path made a turn, and a rustic bench had been built there. Kneeling on it, the girls leaned their elbows on the back and watched the White Queen ?team smoothly to the dock and disembark her usual quota of city deserters. It'was sunset, and the sea lay silent and rlppleless, stained crimson and purple from the sun's rays. Most of the passengers were taking the main road up to the inn. Only one figure came toward them, a figure in gray flannel, and as he came he whistled. The girls watched him idly, disinterestedly, without moving from their position. Men were common at the "Lights," even men in gray flannels who whistled. But as he came up the path and faced them at the turn they realized that this man was different. It 1 wasn't anything special about him?be was merely a strapping, healthy youngster, clear eyed, clean shaven, with lips ready to whistle or smile and brown hair that waved above his tanned forehead?but it was the quick, frankly asA , V-J ? V. 1? kU IOU1SUCU lUUlk 1U UI9 cjrca UMi uioojluieu them as he glanced from one face to the other, a look that spoke volumes, but volumes with a double dedication. "Is this the right way to the inn?" he asked. Dorothy did not answer. After that first look in the stranger's eyes she 1 had looked out at the crimson sea. | Irene flushed slowly and pointed up ' the path. "It is up there where the gray towers 1 are," she said, and he lifted his gray 1 traveling cap and went on, but he did not whistle. ' For a few minutes neither girl spoke. Then Irene sighed, half to herself, and slipped her arm around her cousin's waist "Dolly, wouldn't it be odd if he were the one? You know what Jolly said? ? the inevitable man." And Dorothy pushed back her hair with a quick, half Impatient gesture as , she turned from the sea. "It is late," she said. "Yes, it would be odd if he were the one." As Jolly said a week later, he was tt all right And gradually Jolly's smile . ?* ? deepened, and he went about with his hands in his white duck pockets, wearing a mystical look of wisdom beyond mortal ken, for his prophecy was coming true. Dudley Graham was the stranger's name. Jolly exulted in it. It couldn't have been better. And when, after a couple of days, Dudley showed himself possessed of an unlimited "wad" to boot and a disposition to scatter it Jolly's admiration changed to respect, and he hoped Dudley's choice would fall on Dorothy, because for himself he always had preferred blue eyes. But Dudley apparently had no choice. The cousins were the prettiest girls at the "Lights." Therefore he made love to both of them with absolute impartiality. And he was an artist at lovemaking?no ordinary piazza mooning or woodland strolls, but at daybreak, when all the world lay in a bridal veil of nearl ami diamond, he would take the girls out for a sail or send them up great clusters of forest flowers to say good morning for him. "Which one?" asked Jolly, and every one at the "Lights" echoed the question. Perhaps no one thought it oftener than the girls themselves. Gradually they drew apart. There was no open quarrel, nothing to gossip over, b?rt all the old sweet comradeship was broken, and except when Dudley was with them they walked and lived alone. To Dorothy it was a wonderful thing, this strange now love, something not to be breathed of, and yet her eyes never met Graham's that she did not feel vaguely sorry for Ireqe. And Irene, winsome, gry hearted, was oddly quiet and restrained these days, and, hearing Graham's voice in her ears as they two bent over the dipping sail, she felt her heart ache for poor Dorothy. < And then, as Jolly called it ever after, there came the day of decision. It was a gray day, threatening, squally, bringing with it a premature tang of September chill. Graham was going out in his yacht, the Lorelie. As he came down the steps of the piazza Dorothy joined him, tall and slender, In her rain coat and hatless. Graham hesitated and glanced to where Irene stood. * "Afraid?' he asked laughingly, and she took the challenge, not because of his words, but because of Dorothy and her silence. "There's a storm coming," called Jolly. "I'll get the life savers ready to go out after you." It was only a jest, and half an hour later Jolly, in his big hearted, rough way, would have given all he owned to call it back, for out on the gray sea the little white winged yacht swirled and dipped as the storm swept, down on it, and when the darkness had lifted there was a cry from those watching from the inn, and down at the little white life saving station, below the lighthouse they were pushing out the lifeboat. Keel up the Lorelie drifted, but before the lifeboat reached it they found a figure swimming for shore, a hearty, strong, athletic youngster, one Dudley Graham, who had kept his presence of mind and resolved to save said Dudley Graham's precious life at all hazards. "Go ahead," called Tom Hardy, the captain of the crew to him. "Go ahead; you're doing finely. Keep it up. We wouldn't stop you for the world." And they left him swimming for shore and made straight for the overturned yacht, where two girls held each other above the peril of the sea. "Take Irene first," said Dorothy. "Dolly first," gasped Irene as Tom lifted her into the boat' The next morning Jolly sat on the piazza smiling buoyantly to two figures in the hammock. "He went on the early boat," he said blithely. "Congratulations. But was not he a really lovely specimen? For fair weather, I mean. Wasnt be"? "Jolly," interposed Dorothy, "even the inevitable can be postponed, can't it? We?Irene and I?have decided that our inevitable man must be twins." A Floral Frealc. There is a singular floral freak called the "occasional" flower for the reason that it has no particular time to bloom. It is said that when closed the occasional flower is in color and form something like a ripe poppy head, but with the stem attached. Submerged in a bowl of water for a few minutes and then taken out and placed by its stem in an empty bottle, the outer petals begin in several minutes to open out This process is slow, but distinctly noticeable. The petals continue to rise and to expand until they gradually recede. When this action Is completed it resembles in appearance the sunflower. The occasional flower remains thus open for a few hours, during which time, the state of humidity lessening by degrees, the fiber begins to shrink and the petals close up gradually in the same way that they opened until the flower resumes Its former position: It Is said that, properly nourished, with regard to temperature and air, and carefully handled, the occa Sionai nower never ueuuys ur ucgcuna tea In Its radiance and splendor.
