The People's Journal PICKENS S. C Why He tit Play ing Pok ler. ?I haven't played a game of pokei for twelve years," remarked Thomai R. Shelton, a prommnent business muar and politiciani of Eastern Kentucky. I was famishing for a little game my self, and he saw the signs of my yearn tug in my face, which impelled him tc make this avowal. .1 knew hie had once been extrava gantly fond of poker, and knowing, too, when ai man once gets the poker habit fixed on him that breaking the morphinie habit is a small task con pared to it, I was interested to know the antidote that had cured him. 14 Since I held the winning hand and lost on a Big Sandy river raft twelve years ago I haven't touched a deck, and I'll shuttle oif this mortal coil be fore I'll shuitle a pack again. The very looks of cards makes mec shudder, as it recall: the most horrible ex perience yIll life has klnown. " was enigaged, at, the time I started, in the tilb0er business Onl the Big Sandy river. I was in partnership with Joe and Alf. lavis, twin brothers, and wealthy timber menti of the Big Sandy valley. We were buying thous andls of staves, ties and logs along the Sindy and its tributaries and were floating them down the Ohio to Cincin nati. On the occasion of which I speak we three were on a raft of logs that we were taking out of Sandy to the Ohio, and were about fourteeii miles above t attlesburg, the point of confliience of the t wo rivers. Alf. pro posed that we have it miet little game of poker, and .lot' and I readily assent. ing, we repaired to a little box shatiy in the center of the raft where we slept and ate, and had the cooking done. 0 . " Alf, entered the door of the struc ture first, and, going to his overcoat, hanging at the opposite side from the door, he drew therefromi a quart bottle of . iiu.' , .1 1 i"1:r ' 'Boys,' lie Raid reaching it toward me, here is a sort of liquor they call " persimmon ooze." I never saw any before-never tasted this. Afriend at Louisa gave it 10 ilt --don't know what it tastes like, but it'll make the drunk come like whiskey, they say, if you take too much of it.' "'And you take too much of it if you take a drop,' said I, pushing the bottle away. 'I've heard of your l persimmon ooze," Alf. and I heard nothing good of it. I is a Satanic con coction, distilled from persimimons, and from what I've heard, Shake speare's witches preside where it is madte. I don't wanlt anly, and1( wouldl adivise you, if yo ul i to lay poker, to let it alonie.' " '(h, one sniter won't hurit a feler, I know,' he satid laughing. "' As I refus~ed , he extenlded the bottle to .l oe. ''AlIf,' I inlt erruiptedl,'dlon't. take that slu!i, pleas$e. l'romu w hat I heard of it, It is danigertus. "'Why?' aisked( Joe, withuirawing thle cork. "''Well, it turns a muan's ntature completely upside dlown. If you arcea happy mani, it maikes you mliserab)le; if you are muiserable, you have a maniacal joy; if you are brave it miakes youm a paltroon, if you are kind and1( goo~d natured, it makes a violent demon of you. Now, you are very good nat.ured ---anid theC pro)portionate reverse would mlake yout Satanie inideed I' A Alf laughed i:credulously , elevat ed it to his lips, and took a long swal low. He put it back inl his coat anid we all sat down att the greasy little tab)le and14 prepiaredl for a poker feast a feast more dlelectab)le to the mental palate thlan a l'renieh chef could pre-. pare for the material. At that, time, we all three had lots of mionley, an<l we wouldn't slur the honored game by making small bets, or setting an~ lines of limitation. "In a few miiinutes the 'pot' held live thousand dollars in gold. ThIen, for a mioment, I felt it 5(ort of cool Bell' saltioin travel upl and1 dtown my back. bone.

It met the lid and fell t< pieces. I now screamed as loudly as J could. The man who steered the rafl came running. As he was about en tering the hut, Alf fired at him with n revolver. The man ran a few feet and reeled over the logs into the river. "s The crazy demon then turned the revolver on me. The first sliot grazed the left side of my Iead, and badly powder burned my chenk. lie fired again, but I disturbed his aiml with my left arm, and the ball went through the roof of the cabin. He tried to shoot again but the pistol snapped. By this time I got hold of the skilled lid, and before he could aim again, I struck him on the side of the head with such force that he fell sense less to the floor, wallowing in his own and his brother's blood. " I now stopped to examine the ex tent of .Joe's injuries. Alas! His skull was broken at the right temple, and the brains was slowly oozing from the ugly cleft. " Now what could I do? One man was dead sure, the other apparently so, and the steersman, of course, iloating down the river, and I would be hung for the triple murder! " The distress I suftered for the next hour passes power of expression, but you see the blossoms it put forth in lny hair, which was black at the time, but white inside of a month. " For several minutes I sat at the reeking table, my powers of thought almost gone, and my brain only con scious of a burden of sickening agony that weighed down my icy limbs. Fin ally the striking of the raft against the side of the bank partially aroused me. I struggled from my chair and went out on the logs. 1 went slowly to the steering apparatus and grasped the pole. I managed to keep the raft i the current until I reached ('atletts burg. Then I landed, called to some men on the grade, and told them my awful story. " I was not believed by many on ac count o she peaceful disposition of the Davis brothers. I was accordingly ar rested and taken to jail. A great trailing throng followed in my rear, as the D>avis men were known to all, and, on account of their kindly natures, greatly beloved. For awhile there were buzzing hints of a mob.

The key turned hoarsely in tlhe lock. The door was pushed open, an(d the sheriff and Jim Anderson entered, .Jim Anderson was the steering man I supposed at the bottom of the river.

To the Editor of The State: A great dleal of history is made ir South Carolhna-interesting histor well worth being preserved in perma, nent form, yet, how indifferent are oui people, as a whole, to our history. The most important political cam. paign meetinig held in Sumter dlurmsf tihe last third of the Nineteenth centu. ry was the great IIamp)ton dlemonst.ra. tion held October 7, 187ti. It was esti, mnatedt by those who accomp)aniedi Gen Hampton in his triLiuphant progrsm through Carolina to have been tlhe largest, and most enthusiastic meeting held up to that time, with perhaps single exception, that of Abbeville it p)oint of numbers. Mr. Carl McKinley a gentleman of scholarly at.tainments who is the author of " An Appeal t< Pharaoh," was the correspon<tent wh( report,ed the meeting to the News an( Courier. There was one feature oi the meeting of so striking a charaictei andI which appealed so stronigly to th<i audience that we allude to it here, ant will let Mr. McKinley tell it in his owr language: " Gen. llampton and the othei speakers dismountedi from their car riages and approachedl the stand. Ai he entered the space between thi laudies' stands, these rose up and1 showered down flowers upon him anm before him until the ground beneatii his feet was carpeted with them. .A company of lit,tle girls, representinl all the Stat.es, all clad in white, mel him half way, and strewedi their flora offerings in his way. " But the crowning ceremony wai reservedl for the last. A fair young girl, clad in mourning and bound witi heavy chains, to represent South Care lina, stood on the verge of thle stage just where the speakers afterward (10 lvered their addresses. As Gen i Ilampton approached, and when ever' eye was fixed upon the two, and whill he was as yet but a few paces fron her, at a word and as if by a magica touch the habiliments of mourning an< the heavy chains fell from her at once and she stoodl fort~h before him and thi i throng clad In garments of snow; whiteness-a beautiful emblem o i South Carolina redeemed. " The drama was well planned, wel I, executed, and its import recognizei I and acknowledged by such a burst O (I enthusiasm and shouting, and wavinj I of hate and handkerchiefs, and roars o n cannon as made the scene truly a mos ie impressive one. As the clank of thi I falling chains was heard, Gen. Hamp a ton raised his eyes, and, seeing thi beautiful child before him, and under B standing the new tribute p aid him ii r her person, his face flushed, and hi y bowed deeply and reverently to he: and to the multitude. Hie spoke a fey k kind words to her in an undertone; shi took her place in the comnp any of he' o sisters, and he ascended the steps o it the platform, and with his party tool the seats p laced for them." The girl who Mr. McKinley de d scribed as attired in mourning was hi to tie Miss Minnie Cuttino. She was ai ht itarwarda married to Mr. Tsidora Hoyl of Sutntor, and was tre (laughter of Mr. W. II. Cuttino, who was after. wards clerk of court, and was the granddaughter of the Rev. David W. Cuttino, an earnest minister of the Baptist de,nmination. Like her fa ther and grandfather Mrs. IHoyt has passed away. Besides Hampton, Mr. McKinley c mentions (en. James Conner, Iion. st M. P. O'Connor, and Gens. Chestnut hi and Kershaw as speaking at this Imeet- is ing and Gen. Kennedy, Capt. 11. S. B Thompson and Col. John S. Richard son as speaking at the second meeting held on the court house squaro that night. Of this prominent body of Carolinians, only one now survives, and ie is not a citizen of our State at the present time, for he re sides in the great city of New York. This gentleman is courtly Hugh S. Thompson, who has since served South A Carolina so well and effectively, first as superintendent of education, and then in the higher and more important ti position of chief executive. h Miss Mary II. (iirardeau, deservedly well known in educational circles, wrote a beautiful poem welcoming se Hampton to Sumter, which commueuced o with these feeling words: "We greet thee, gallant soldier, Carolina's noblest son.'' Since the death of the grand old hero, the pocm has been repub this lished in a county paper. days Several years ago Gen. Ely S. Par- the i ker (Donehogawa), the distinguished bay Iroquois Sachem who was military up h secretary to Ulysses S. Grant during a " portion of the Confederate war, sent fair. the writer a monograph published by liheli the Buffalo Historical society. It is " of much historical interest and relates ders to the reinterment of the great Seneca " anr orator, Rted Jacket, and his compatri- " ots in Forest Lawn cemetery, Iluffalo, it to Oct. 9i, 1864.

Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture, in an address before the American Association of Farmers' In stitute Workers in Washington, urged the need of a now system of education. The training of farmers should begin in the primary schools. Secretary \Vilson said1 " our system of education in this country is old-fashioned. It was imported from the other side of the water and is much like the systems from which it sprang. Colleges were originally organized to educate preach era. We do educate doctors, lawyers and dentists now, but none of our schools furnish farmers the education they need. We have agricultural schools, but they teach nearly every thing but agriculture. It is almost im possible to find iistructors who have knowledge of annnal husbandry, plants and soils. Consequently the depart ment of agriculture is compelled to educate its own specialists at d has 2(;o young men and women who are learning the things relating to agricul ture which are not taught in any schools of the country."
