EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WOULD.
Well ! Well !! Wonders never
cease. The News and Courier,
Charleston's mouth piece, has de
clared lor prohibition and advises
its readers to vote for Featherstonc
next Tuesday. It is really
ludicrous. Charleston and the
News and Courier voting lor prohibition
! If they wanted prohi
bition why did they not vote for
Featherstone in the lirst primary
Only -15 votes were polled for
him in that election in the entire
city of Charleston?only 15 people
that wanted prohibition.
Schumpert who was an advocate
of high license y;ot D-J) votes in
Charleston and Ceo. I). Tillman,
also an advocate of the high ii
cense plan and a bitter opponent
of the dispensary, got 1-I> votes
in that city, which makes 1.077
cast for high license. That is
what it means.
For Fllerho and Watson
Charleston east only votes,
which means, of course, that
Charleston is opposed to the dispensary.
They are still more opposed
to real prohibition, as only
45 voted for that, as already indicated.
Then why on earth has Charles
ton's mouth piece made such a
complete change,?turned such a
somersault Simply to down the
dispensary, nothing less. Charleston
fears nothing from prohibition,
with only 45 men in the
city in favor of it from heart.
How could a law be enforced with
such a public soul uncut as that i
It can't lie done and Charleston
knows it.
In addition to that, Charleston
will turn up in 1000 advocating
high license, just what she voted
for in the recent primary. The
dispensary would then be out <?f
the way, if Feat herst one was
elected, and prohibition would b?>
the last thing Charleston would
want.
Think of it ? 1." people in
Charleston believe in prohibition,
and yet Charleston will vote for
prohibition !
With the News and Courier it
is anything to down the dispensa
ry. It will even undertake to en
dure two years of prohibition.
If you want to help the ii<juor

"When 1 was 20 years old/'
said a veteran ot many dollars,
"1 was working on a iariu in ,jr
Massachusetts not tar from
bpringlield, where iived a pretty ''
little girl as poor as 1 was, the
daughter ol a Methodist minister.
One day under the shade of a
big tree in the churchyard 1 told r:l
her how much there was in my di
heart and how little there wae|?j,
111 my pocket anil asked her to | .
marry me. Sue was 17 and silly, 1
and she consented on the spot.. lo
For an hour or more niter tlmt, K
we sat under the tree talking. ^
over the lair and foolish things
that lovers dream, when it occur- I *v
red to me that an engagement T
ring was the correct thing for af
such an occasion, and 1 began
bemoaning the poverty which S1
prevented my getting one for the !><
dearest hand on earth. It was ,,,
absolutely true, too, for 1 really
did not have enough money to
buy a tin ring, much less the In
only kind 1 thought ?Janie ought j,
to have.
"but .lanio didn't care for the 'll
ring. She suid we ought to thank K
Frovidetice that we had each
other and let the old ring go. She .
was on the point of Haying more, 11
when she stopped suddenly, gave ]>
a little scream and pointed to r<
something bright in her lap. 1
looked, and there lay a pretty 1,1
gold ring with a small diamoud
dashing a greeting to us. At 1(|
first we were afraid to touch it, .
but we soon got over that, aud as 111
wo looked it over we wondered a<
where it had come from, and'
though we knew that the days of
miracles had passed we were both
inclined to think it was a blessing
lrorn heaven on our sweet ?and
pure love. V
"I here was no one in the tree s,
to have dropped it as a joke, but .
us it could not have reached us
by any way other than from ni
above we proceeded to search the w
tree. Nothing could he seen
from the ground, and 1 climbed
up, and there over in the fork r<
above us, high up, I found a bird's ti

somewhere, tor various Jbits of
colored rihhon and rags llutterod it
about the nest. One of these j|
pieces of 11 k. .Janio recognized as ^
tli9 trimming ot a lady's gown
who caiue to see her mother, and j
wo decided at once that it was | \\
riglit to see if it belonged to the1 i
lady.
"Thither wo went, happy as|r
two childern, and Janio went m j w
and 1 waited outside. Presently | j,
>he called me in, and when 1 had,!
with many blushes, told the story'N
of the ring on Janie's she hissed '1
her, and said it was now mine to J11
do with as I pleased. She hoped
1 would not forget those who had 1
b?*en my friends when 1 had no : I1
diamonds, and then right there, e
before the lady I had never seen 11
before I slipped the ring on .Fame's -j
linger and kissed her. As soon L]
m I had done that she kissed' |,
Fanie. and I'll be shot if she did n't t |
kiss me. too, and as we went out)'
there were tears in her eyes,
glistening like the diamond on |

The scene of the accident is lolled
about four miles from Hoinslmrg
