Tho recent triui at Yorkville of Jobn
S. und I'aul. K. Bratt m on the cuargo
of murder, reeallo an ulluir that dovol
oped International importance in
which two brothers, tho father and j
undo of those young inon, were iuvolv
twenty-nine years ago.
Doubtless the diplomats of those
times would have to refer to tho re
cords to refresh their memories about
a very thrilling incident between tho
United States and Groat Britain, tho
Iubuo of which was watched by the
people of this " prostrate " State with
the koeuest interest.
Kngland demanded the return to his
temporary home in Canada of a Smith j
Carolinian who, Hoeing the State, had i
sought an asylum under the British
(lag : had been kidnapped and brought
hack to face a stern United States
judge.
It was no time lor false pride ; an of
fonSO had been committed by over
zealous United States ollloers, and this
government frankly acknowledged
that fact by quickly complying with
the Hritlsb demands.
Dr. J. Kufus Itruttou and John S.
Hratton wore gentlemen of largo
estates In York (,'ounty, where their
family had livid lor generations.'
They wore grandsons of Col id Wil
liam Hratton, who was a distinguished
Whig leader in the ((evolutionary war.
At tho outbreak uf the civil war, both
brothers entered tho army. Dr. llrat
ton went Into the medical department
and won distinction as an army sur
geon. At tho closo of hostilities tho
brothers returned to their homes In
York County and attempted to restore
their fortunes.
Many; stories have been published
ahoutihe Ku Klux organization of that
time, but most of them have been
pictured from fancy. Because It gave
u certain irresponsible and naturally
lawless class an opportunity to indulge
personal grudges and vindict1 vencsa
while falsely representing themselves
to be atu-Klux, tho organization gained
moat of the disrepute attached to its
name.
It is diflloult, even at this time, to
obtain from one. known to have been a
member of that organization a definite
statement of their actions. " It may
bo Impossible for those in other parts
of the. country, who had not to face tho
condition we. did to realize the neccs
hlty for Buch an organization by the
better element of tho whites," remark
ed an OX-membor of the "klun" a few
days ago. " We wore at tho mercy,"
ho continued, "of former slaves, and a
hostile government. The nog r OOS
wore Irresponsible anil kuowing we
were powerless to resent openly over
bearing Insolence they Indulged their
now opportunities* A powerful secret
organization in which it was proposed
to have only men of responsibility and
reliability na members became a
necessity. It sviu a success ami when
It ceased to lie necessary It ceased to
exist. The purpose was not to murder
or burn, but to terrorize the i .? oos in
general and either subdue into quiet
ness their loaders, who were urging
thorn to excesses, or force them to
leave, of course, in some eases ex
treme measures became necessary for
BClf-protection. And in the i ml, the
k'u-Klux prevented many bloody en
counters and possibly' massacres that
would have followed had not some
loaders of tho negroes been checked.
"Tho superstitions of the negroes
made tho methods of the Ku-Klux
especially effective and it is now laugh
able to think of the simple plans re
sorted to. A string of horsemen rid
ing through tho country by highways
and byways, at night, dressed in white
from head to hocl, and making no
BOUnd, save the tramp of the horses'
hoofs, sent night prowlers scamping to
their cabins. The signs of skull and
crossed bones on fence or door carried
a warning to tho occupants of the
house that required them to mind
t;'jir ways. When tho supernatural
failed, then other plans were resorted
to ami more drastic measures used till
the object was attained. For, it must
be borne in mind, theHO were not boy.-,
or Idle mop, they woro serious and
sober and realized that under tho pre
vailing conditions they carried their
live . In their hands.
" It can be readily understood that
with such risks to encounter, the or
ganization had to havu tho best dis
cipline ami tho most reliable members.
They were bound by terrible oaths,
but rewards for information against
them would have tempted ordinary
men. It 1b notable that tho leaders
woro I'Vcc Masons of high standing,
and it Is probable that every member
of that order In tho smaller towns and
rural districts whoro tho Ku-Klux
were most active were on Its rolls.
" With complaints from many quar
ters and demands that the Ku-Klux
organization be Buppresscd by the
military authorities then in South
Carolina, it is not surprising that
strenuous olTorta were made to capture
and convict members of tho organiza
tion, particularly tho leaders. It was
known In a gonoral way that Dr. J.
Kufus llratton was the head of the Ku
lt lux organization in upper South
Carolina, and his brother, John S.
llratton, whs also sunposed to belong
to tho secret order. Thoy woro singled
out for arrest by Major Merrill, then
commanding tho Waited States forces
in York district.
" Dr. llratton was a thirty-third de
gree Mason and there Is no doubt this
fact caused him to bo aroused at tho
dead of night at his homo In Yorkville
by an unknown horseman, whose ftucd
was spent, and glvon an important
military secret. Thirty minutes later
tho Ku-Klux leader was riding out of
town, hoadod northward and leaving
his wifo and throo llttlo children be
hind. Later in tho night u detach
ment of cavalry surrounded tho Brat
ton homo. Pursuit was mado in every
direction, but with a good horse, ample
funds and the friends ho could com
mand wherever tho suorets of Masonry
wero known, tho fugitive mado bis
way safely Into Canada, taking up his
residence In Montreal in the fall of
1871.
" Di. Hratton opened an oflloe In the
Canadian city, where ho began tho
practice of medioine. His whereabouts
beo&nOO known as soon as ho wrote to
his family in Yorkville, and he was
Boon being shadowed by agi ntS of this
government. Ho was joined ny his
family a fow months after reaching
Canada and tluy arranged to make
that country their homo until their
nativo Stato became salor. But they
wero not to remain in security.
" No otfonso on which Dr. Hratton
could ho extradited was charged, uo
ho anticipated no further trouble from
the military authorities in this State
who hud boon on his track, and the
ldoaof being kidnapped never occurred
to hhn. Hut one evening, In the early
spring of IH72, tho doctor was called
professionally. Ho was gotten Into a
carriago and driven hurriedly out of
tho olty. Throo men had him In
charge and during tho night thoy got
him Into a boat and across tho St.
Lawrence rlvor. Tho captors imme
diately brought their prisoner back to
the old jail at Yorkvlllo, whero he
was Incarcerated, ponding the conven
tion of a oourt specially arranged to
try Ku-Klux casos. Hut tho doctor was
fortunate In having poworful frlonda
In all quartorn of tho country. Tho
factB ol l.l i forcible abduction for an
alleged political otfonso woro prompt
ly laldbeforo tho Hrltlah government,
and this was followod by a domatid by
tho government that ho bo released
and returnod under aafo conduct to tho
domicilii of Canada from which he had
b a-:- taken. This demand was imme
diately complied with.
" Dr. Hratton remained an exile In
Canada until 1878, a year after tho lost '
uf Lim United Slates troops hud been
withdrawn from South Carolina. Thon
rocolvlug un Intimation that tho. caso
agaln-t him would not ho pushed, ho j
returned to his old homo, where ho !
resumed the practice of medicine. Hu
continued there unmolested until hid ?
death in Is'.'7. I'or u number uf year?
befure his death be was president of ?
tho South Carolina Medical Associa
tion and of the Slate hoard of health.
" John Si Hrutlon, who was a gentle
man of large means, left his homo at
the same time as his brother to avoid
arrest, and remained abroad two year-;.
During his absence many wilncbsus In
KU'KlUX elites from York County wore
examined to oonneot John Lfrattou
with the organization. The only ovl*
dunce obtained against him was thai
parties of Ku-Klux after an a'l night's
ride, could (lud at a certain bpot, near
his home appoli/log lunches, which
they, In their habitual silence, ate. So
on his return to YorkvillO, .John Hrut
tun was troubled no more."

A special dispatch to the Atlanta
Journal says that knowing persons in
New York Bay that the absorption of
the Southern Uailway by the I'ennsyl
vania Itallroad Is a deal that will bo
consummated beforo the end of thu
y.u . In fact.it is stated that the pur
chase of tho road is going on evury day
now, tho largely increased purchase
of Southern railroad stock un the mar
ket evury day being attributed to tho
I 'onn-yl vania.
Toe sales of Southern railroad stock
have been remarkably heavy this week.
Tuesday 102,000 shares of common and
?10,000 o( preferred were bought on tho
Now YorK slock exchange. These big
purchases Bet the rumor to going that
the Pennsylvania's agents were; buying
up tho stock with a view tu gaining
complete control of the Southern. Tho
rumor caused tho oreferrcd shares to
jump from 031 to 05| and tho common
Irou> I i to 171. Tnis is tho highest
price yet nbtaim d.
Tho rumor is still rife In the street
and extremely persistent, it is be
lieved by many uf the wisest heads in
tho slreet. Tho street Insists that if
it is not the object id tho Pennsylvania
to gain entire control of the Southern
It Is certainly trying to get a big intor
est in It. Vice PresidentW.II.Green,
of the Southern denied the reports.
Still another Interesting report was
that the Southern railroad intends to
gain control uf the Seaboard Air Clue,
and, In fact, is already moving toward
that end. It Is admitted that a close
tradio alliance has already been made
between the Seaboard and Southern.
This report has caused much talk among
railroad men.
Southern railway oftlolals say thu
only reason they can ascribe for the
I jump in the price of Southern stock is
I the largely Increased earning capacity
I of the road.
Sevoral block? of Southern stock of
I 1 U00, t 500 and 2 000 shares each have
I recently boon purchased in New York,
and this reporl gives color to toe talk
of absorption by tin; Pennsylvania.
< Ino bitj banking house, alone bought
i more than 10.000 shares. It had an
? order to bu?' 55,000 shares.
The. Now York Sun has the following
I to say about Hie report :
'? Further rumors regarding tho
Southern railway interested Wall
stnet yesterday. Tho price of the.
preferred stOOk reached ils highest
mark,,00|, on sales aggregating 20,600
tihares, :i gain ol one-half point. Tran
sactions in Southern common reached
a total of 70,200 snares with com*
paratively little lluotuatlon in price.
In addition to persistent report that
thoru was heavy buying of Southern
railway shares in the interest ol the
Pennsylvania railroad were rumors
that tho voting trust funned by J.
Plermont Morgan wheu be reorganized
the Southern system, was to he dis
solved, and also that an ironclad
agroemont to maintain rates bad been
entered into by the. Southern railway
i company anil the Seaboard Air Line,
rhls last rumor w.?s generally regarded
a? having some foundation in fact.
" President Samuel Spencer of tho
Southern railway system, who has jusl
returned from an extended inspection
trip over tho system, had nothing to
say about rumors or possibilities.
Other persons connected with South
ern railway interests while admitting
that the course of the market showed
that somebody believed that the com
pany's stock was worth buying, said
that no new interest could come into
the management without the consent
of tho noting trust. The; latter is ter
minable at tho discretion of the trus
tees, who wore reticent regarding their
plans. According to Stuck lOxchungo
gossip, Mr. Morgan is preparing to dis
solve the trust for practically the same
reason that caused the recent deter
mination to dissolve the Northern
I'ucilic voting trust, i. e., tho linancial
rehabilitation of the property and Its
establishment on a permanent dlvld
ond-paying basis.
"The Pennsylvania railroad is more
closely connected with tho Southern
system than in any other independent
lino. Nearly all of tho Southern's
passenger and freight business between
New York and Washington goes over
tho Pennsylvania railroad, and in rato
matters tho two companies have prac
tlcally a mutual Interest."

found u warm welcome. It is wonder- j

and this tlmo there woro near four hun
dred. Prosperity has dono It. Ton
cent cotton ami a cotton mill has done

Last night I was billed for Klploy?j
a nice old court house town not far
away. The evening betokened a storm
and by night tho lightning wus Hash
ing incessantly all around tho horizon
und the thunder peuled heavily. Coun
try people became alarmed and hurried
homo, for everything seemed ominous
of coming trouble. There Beamed to
be something In tho elements that wus
brooding over us, and suro onough
thoro was. The courtroom was about
half full of people who bad dared to
venture out to b >ar me. Suddenly tho
storm came with fearful fury. There
was an awful roaring sound from tho
Southeast that was like tho found of
many wators. It hushed the uudlenco
into a sol :mu silence. 1 did not take
tho platform, but waited. In a few
minutes aome wild, excited messengers
came rushing up tho stairs and called
for the doctors ami other help, for the
cyclone had come und torn up every
thing in the suburbs and killed men
and women and children. Tho night
was intensely dark, but the men rush
ed to tho rescue In haste, and the lec
ture programme was broken up in a
twinkling. Kverybody hurried to their
homes or to the scene of tho disaster.
What an awful thing is a cyclone!
What a merciless thing it is ! How
quickly it comes ami as quickly goes,
leaving swift destruction in its track.
Happily it gives no warning, for tho
terror and apprehension would bo
worse than doath. This morning we
i rejoiced to learn that nobody was
knicd, though many were I? idly wound
ed. Some houses woro wrecked and
blown away and many were unroofed
und some were set on lire. One man
was lifted up and carried away and
thrown to the ground in the woods,
with only a few bruises, llosv strange
thut so few people are killed by a
cyclone. It seems providential, und
this morning the question discussed at
the breakfast tabu; was whether Cod
or the devil was tho author of these
terrible visitations. One >ald that the
spirit of evil was still on the earth and
was ever contending against the spirit
of good, and this spirit brought fam
ine, pestilence, lirea, storms and all
disasters.
Another .-.aid that all these things
came from natural causes, and that
neither Cod nor the devil had any
agency in them. Another quoted from
Job where the Lord delivered turnover
to Sittan, who was going to and fro
upon tho earth ami walking up and
down In it. He a til toted Job awfully,
but was not allowed to take bis life.
Another quoted from the Savior's
words when He said: "Think you
that thoso upon whuin tho tower of
Slloam foil woro wicked above all peo
ple 'i 1 tell you nay but unless ye re
pent ye shall perish."
Professor .lohn Fisko, a very great
and learned man, has written a little
book called " The Mystery of Bvll." I
have rea l it twice and found but little
comfort or philosophy in it. His argu
ment is that evil is ol divine creation
and designed to illustrate and exalt
tho good. That but for sickness wo
would not appreciate or enj )v good
health. Hut for un occasional famino
wo would not enjoy the blessing of ubun
dant foo , and but for sin we would not
enjoy Heaven. Ilia book leaves you
just where it found you, and tho
my&tory la still unexplained. Wo know
that Cod loves His creatures, ami that
is onough. Not a sparrow falls to the
ground without His notioo, and He did
not wiah to destroy Nineveh, wboro
thoro woro (100,000 people and much
cattle. "And much cattle." That was
always a vory Bigniflo&nt oxpression to

Mr. Josao T. (.anti, chief clerk of the
secrotary of State's ollice, him called
attention to the fuel that iH not genor
ally known, even by tho ollieors of the
State Ihemaolvm, that the term of pub- ,
lie Oftloora elected in the recent, or any
other general election, begins on tho
day of tho election, and that any ilelay
that may ho occasioned in the com* ;
mission or qualification of ttucb ollieors
reduces tho length of the terms of .said
olllcer?.
It la another fact not generally ap
preciated that tho commission, how
ever it may bo worded, does not give a
retiring otllcor the >Mght to hold a
single day after tho declaration of tho
result of tho general election, if Iiis
successor qualifies himself to assume
tho ollloe. There is a contrary opinion
ovor tho State, due to general misin
formation as to the law. The commis
sion is not in Itself the right of tho
ollloor to the 0 111 co he holds?it is sim
ply tho evidence of his right?his titio
ilced to it.
In an opinion addroosed to the sec
retary of Slate on February 0, I8D0, At
torney General liolllnger said "tho
terms ' und until his successor shall be
elected and qualified," are added mere
ly to provont a chasm in tho discharge
of tho duties of tho ollico, and amount
to no more than an authorized occupa
tion of so much of tho succeeding term.
* * ? VV0 regard it as well settled that
neither the existence of the ollico nor
the torm or time for which it exists,
dopends upon the commission, which
is only evidence of the appointment or

may bo a formal prerequisite to en
able one out of possession to obtain it,
wo do not sc'3 how that necessarily
affects tho term?tho time tho ollico
lias to run. Actual onj lyment may
not bo identical with tho term, which
is a oreaturo of tho law and cannot he
set alloat and made to vary, shift or
change, according to the Caprice, Id
torost or laches of anyone who may
happen to be incumbent: ' " * You are

In reply to an inquiry fron the
Gosmographlc company of Now York,
the following statement has been mado
by Senator Tlllmnn concerning the
proposed reorganization of the Demo
cratic party :
I have your letter of recent date, in
which you ask : " What Is the future
of tho Democratic party ? Must it no
recast upon now linos or return to the
original ones? VVhoro shall tho re
organization begin, etc. V
Tho smoke of the recent political
battle has hardly cleared away or suf
ficient time been given to study the
full returns of the election. Knough is
known to show that the Democratic
party is not dead, nor is it about to die.
McKinley's election is attributed to
two causes '? venality and Ignorance.
Under tho first head would he em
braced use of money lavishly to con
trol votes; the love of money above
principle or patriotism, and the co
ercion of voters who were afraid of a ro
turn of bar'1 lir"--. and loss of work.
Under the aeeond head would he em
braced a la^ne mass of ignorant for
eigners who have not boon assimilated
or become. Amo>*lcanl''.od, who uro
ignorant of ou*" institutions and are
more or less Influenced by tho ideas
they brought with them from tho old
world. A largo number of business
men who thought prosperity was the
lcsult of McKinley's election, and who
dreaded a panic If liryan was elected.
These wore content to let well enough
alone, having an eye solely to thu busi
ness aspect rather than tho underlying
principles involved in thu contest.
They wore Ignorant and too cowardly,
rather than venal.
The Democratic party does not need
reorganization. It can nut ho attempt*
od until the next national convention
Is held and tho most pitiable sight to a
self respecting man Is tho rush which
has been mado by the traitors who
brought tho party nigh unto death In
1800 to resumo control.
Tho light to restore tho ropublie to
tho prlno'plea of tho father., and to
stand by the constitution which they
framed, must go right along tho linea
formulated at Kansas City. " Noth
ing is ovor settled until it is settled
right."
Thu liryan Democracy, as it has
boon termed In derision, will eithei
triumph in the end or tho republic is
doomed. Kike Nelson at Trafalgar,
lot us nail tho colors to the ina?t and
tight until victory is ours. Wo can
not afford to despair of tho republic
and tho trouble of tho imperialists has
just begun. Their program involves
the continuation of high taxes, a large
standing army, and tho guarantee that
prosperity will bo maintained for four
years. The people will grow restloss
und tired of the two lirst, und common
sen.-.e teaches thut tho vuuntod pros*
prijty which uppours to have eon
trolloo the result of tho olection can
not last. If we light as a party brave
ly and stand by our principles un-j
liinchlngly there is everything to make
US hopeful of tho future.

THE PASSING OF A SOUL, j
Jnno Stubs was making currant Jolly. [
sin- bad arrivod ut the moot important
epoch in tho making ol It. TllO cur? I
rants hail bOOU cooked to a tum, they
had been dipped out of the kettle with
a large spoon, deposited in the clean*
est of hugs, the draw string ol which
hud been drawn, and the hag lltlllg
over another kettle, into whirl) the
red juice had dripped until there Was
no more juice left to drip.
She was now upon the point of meas
uring the juice and the sugar. Ouo
spotless kettle stood ready for the sug
gar anil another for the juice. She had
dipped a cupful of sugar from the
bucket close by, spread it evenly over
the top with a steady forefinger ami
emptied it into the kotile when these,
was a knock at the front door.
.lane frowned. She preferred while
the making of this jolly was in progress
to be alone. Her currant jelly had an
enviable reputation in Mulvane. She
wished to live up to il.
However, the knocking continuing
redoubling in vehemence, in fact?her
only recourse was to go to the door.
Setting the cup in ;> small plate, she
wiped her hands on a nearby towel,
rolled down her sleeves and went. She
oponed the door.
"Law!" she exclaimed, "if I had
known it was you, Martha Simmons, I
wouldn't er gone to the trouble of put- I
tin' down my sleeves. I'm m?kln' my [
currant jell, and I'm light where I've
got to go on with il. Come along out
on the. back porch and set there while
1 measure the sugar, lie quiet, too,
won't you? It's mighty particular
work, you know. A lcctlc bit loo
much sugar or not enough, an' the.
whole thing's ruined. I'll talk to you
when I'm done with it."
Martha followed her through the
clean, wide hall, on either side of which
high, straight backed chairs sat prim
ly, to Ihc back porch. .lane brought
the sugar and fruit from the kitchen
and set them on a long table, against
the wall, placed a chair for her visitor
ami recommenced her work.
The back porch was a pleasant place
to sit in. The dining room opened on
to it, the kitchen and the front hall.
Lalticowoik partly enclosed it, and
delicate vuies trained by .lane's nimble
lingers, covering the lattice, shut out
the heat of the sun. .lane opened wide
the front door; also the back. A fresh
brue/.o blew threw.
Martha, taking off her sunbonnet,
fanned herself with it, while .lane bent
over her work, muttering: One, two,
three cups of sugar. One, two, three
cups of juice.''
Footsteps approached. Thoy halt
ed at the front door, .lane looked up.
"My land!" she exclaimed. "If
there ain't l.ucy Jones! Come in,"
she. called to her, "an' bring one of
them chairs mi the hall along with you."
As Lucy dragged the chair out she add
ed: "'If 1 was scltin' here now, lone
some as an owl, wishin' for somebody
to conic an' dial with me, not a livin'
soul of you Would conic. Hein' as I'm
busy as a bee with my currant jell an'
dpn'l want lo be bothered, here you
all come a-sirollin' in one at a lime.
Talk to her, Martha, while I measure
this fruit all over agail Three cups
Ol sugar, wa'n'l it? An' otic, two,
three cups of juice.
Lucy sat down near Martha.
"1 hear," she whispered, "thai. Su
rah Lawson aiu't no bettet. Km win'
as how she was so dose lo lane, 1
1 thought I'd just drop in an' t-co if
there's any truth in it. You hear so
many things."
"She ain't no belter," said Jane be
tween the counting of cups. "She's
worse if anything. Five of sugar an'
six of juice."
"Are. you incasurin' them cups even
on Hie lop, Jane?" inquired Martha,
leaning forward. "Seems (o me this
one is fuller than the other was."
Jane tossed her head. "I ain't been
m?kln* currant jell all these years for
UOthin'," said she with conscious pride.
"1 know what I'm about. 'Tend lo
your own knillin','' for Martha, reach
ing into a spacious reticule which hung
at her side, had brought out a stocking,
wasted, attenuated and lacking a foot,
she procoeded to knit the foot.
"There's somebody else coinin',"'
she said presently, glancing toward the
door.
"It never ruins, but it pours," mut
tered Jane. "(Jo to the door, will
you, Martha, an' hold whoever il is
there a niinit (ill I get through meas
uring this juice? I!' you don't, I won't
get through ineasurin' il till dooms
day.''
She poured in the last cupful of
sugar, then the last cupful of juice.
The white sugar slowly dissolved itself
in the crimson juice as she took the
kettle into the kitchen, placed it on
the stove, raked the coals under it and
came out on the porch once more,
laughing to see Martha obediently
holding the newcomer at the front
door, pointing out to her the beauties
of the plant* blooming luxuriantly in
the diamond shaped beds here, there
and everywhere and offering her a
rose to smell.
"Von can bring her in now," said
Jane. The jell's on the lire. Is that
you, Susan? How's the baby? An'
Tom; how's he? Is he well'''" With
out giving her time to answer, she
continued: "You'll amuse yourselves,
won't you? I must get these glasses
ready for the jell, and I've got to watch
' il, too, until it comes to a boii."
"How" lung do you let it boil, Jane?"
askod Susan. "Twenty ininits?"
" I Impb hum," nodded .lane. "Twen
ty minits by the clock an' not a second
longer."
Susan sat down, tied the strings of
her sunbonnet together and hung
it on the back of the chair.
"I hear as how Sarah Lawson ain't
no better," said fhe. "Is it true?"
.lane, industriously polishing the jel
ly glnsscii with a spotless towel, nod
ded again. "Yes," she assented, "it's
true" She held a gluss up to the light
and spied a speck on it. "An' you
can't do notion' for her," she went on,
rubbing it viciously, holding il to the
light and polishing it again, "I've
bin over there, an' bin over there, an'
sho won't even let nie in. She's crawl
ed in her shell like. Seems's if she'd
taken a evorlastin' dislike to us all on
account of the talk about her daughter.
'S if, since, we won't have nothin' to do
with the girl, wc shan't come a-nigh
her either -not even if she dies for
want of nursin'. An' that's what it'll
come to, I'm nfraid."
"Can sho blame* us for passin' the
girl by after tin way she's behaved?"
asked Susan. She had taken a while
apr< n out of her reticule and was hem
ming it. "It doi't stnn' to reason."
"Sometimes," n used Lucy Jones, "1
don't feel quite rigid in my mind about
slightin' that tiiero girl. There wa'n't
nothin' ever proved ag'in her. She
got to goin' with a gi'idy set. Thai was
nil, to my thiukin'."
?* *Birds of a featho",' you know,"
quotod Martha, counting the stitches
in tho foot. "'Birds of a feather.' "
Lucy Jones folded pit its in her skirt
and smoothed them out again. She
was the only ono who had failed to
bring work.
"Wir what's got children <?f <uu
own, ' said she, "hadn't OUghtOI bo
too harsh. We in vor know irom one
day to the other wltat troubles is com
in' on us we wind's got children of

'?That's tiuo," admitted Susan."true

"It canto uigh killin' her, too," said
Martha rctuiniscontly. " That's what
it did. It came nigh to bcin1 tho
death on her. But ehe had a presenti
ment of it. She'd oughter bin pre
pared. The day before it all come
out 1 was over there, an she says to
inc. she says: 'All las' night,Martha,
1 dreamt "I muddy water. it ?vas
atouud me overywhero. 1 had to
walk through it. There wa'n't no
other way, .here w'an't crosttin' of it [
anywhere. I had to walk through il
an' 1 did.' She sort of trembled. 'I
can feel the feel of that there water
yet, Martha,' says she.'
"Same way with Mary Simpson
remarked Lucy, watching .lane, who
hovered over the kitchen stove in a
state of mind bordering on diffraction,
her eyes fixed upon the jelly, which
was just about lo boil. "You renum
ber the night slur married the paper
fell oil the wall of the church fell off
in the shape of a wing. It was a sjgn j
of that she was lo die before the year
was out, an' die she did. 'Twa'tlt
eleven months? lias it come to a
' boil, .lane?''
"Shhhh!" whispered .lane. "lie
quiet a intuit.'1
There was silence with the execp- j
tion of Martha's knitting needles. I
They clicked.
"A watched pol never boils, .lane,"
said Susan al last. "Coma away, an'
it will bubble up in a jiffy."
.lane lifted her head.
"it's bollin' iiow'.'' she. exclaimed
triumphantly. "What time is it?"
Lucy, rising, went into the hall to
look at the clock there. She came
back and silently resumed her Pont.
"Well, what time was iiy" queried
Jane.
Lucy laughed in an embarrassed
way. "I forgot,'' she apologized.
"Half-past 4. I guess I must have
bin thinkiif about Sarah Lawsou."
"It'll have to boil till ten minilS of
.">," announced .lane. "I'll leave a
good lire under it an' talk to you till
then."
Again raking down the coals, she
smoothed her apron with the palms of
her hands ami, comiug out on the |
porch, took her seat in the midst ol
them.
??I'm expectin' every mini! to hear
bad news of Sarah LaWSOU,' she aver
red. "I've Inn thinkiu1 of her all
day long. No mailer what work I
Wnsal, every little while she would
rise up before nie, reproachI'ullike, 's
if I'd bin foremost in llio talk about
thai daughter of hor'n, which I wa'n't "
"Nu, you wa'n't,'' Susan hastened
j to alllrill. "Leastways not that I
know of. You can never tell exactly
who starts talk like that. Seems s if
the wind does il: then keeps fanuiu' il
about. You can'! say 'boo' but it's all
over town in no time. Dears to nie
like sometimes people finds out what
you're lliinkin' about an' tclla ii, add
in' an1 addin' to it till you can't recog
nize it yourself when il COII108 back lo
you, an' il allus conies back lo you.''
After a moment: "The thing to
do," she advised, "is to keep a -till
tongue in your head, hut it's a mighty
hard thing to do." She shook her
head dolefully. "It's a mighty hard
thing lo do," she reiterated.
"L'VO bin the same about Soah
LaWSOU all day long myself,'' sighed
Maltha. "All day long I couldn't
, keep from tlllukin' about bei, no mat
ter how hard I tried. I miss her. She
was a ji>lly ksotil before the trouble
came, she was the life of tho so win'
bees an' the church sociables. Things
has bin dead without her, lo my think
in'?dead as doornails."
"Hut nobody misses her like I do,"
declared Jane. "Wo were thick as
hops. If she wa'n't over here, 1 was
over there. You see that little gate
between the fences? I hud that made
so's we wouldn't have to waste time go
in'around. She ain't never bin through
it since, the talk about the girl. Socins
like she laid the whole blame of tho
thing on me. An' twa'n'l my fault.
1 repealed what I'd heard. That was
all."
Suddenly Susan dropped la r work
in her lap.
"Did you ever think an' think about
somebody a long way off on' get a let
ter from her that very day?" she ask
ed.
"Time an' ag'm," answered the oth
ers in a chorus.
"Did you ever feel like some friend
or other was comtu' on' look up an' sec
her a-walkln' through the gate to you?"
"Time an' ag'inl"
Susan's voice, sank to n whisper.
"It's the way I fool about Sarah
Lawson now," said she. "I wouldn't
be the least bit surprised, sick as they I
say she is, lo see her come walkin"
through that little side 'gate, .lane,
what you had made so's you wouldn't
have to waste, time goin' around. ll
seems like 's if she was right here
with us now, close to us, brushill' ag in'
us almost"?
They glanced fearfully al each other,
then at the little side gate. Their eyes
met once more and again fastened
themselves on tho gate, for a figure
had drawn near to il.
Bewildered they thought for the
moment that Sarah LawsOll stood
there. Bul presently the ilguro
resolved itself into that of a girl. Her
hand stole to tho latch. She unfasten
ed it, crept into the yard, reclosed the
gale and leaned helplessly against it,
a pitiful picture picked out by the sun
light, her lace While und drawn, tears
' on her check and In her eyes, hot
two hands clutched together, clasping
and reclasping, her pale lips trembling
in her ineffectual effort to speak.

THE DISPENSARY IN LANCASTER
The views of a Prohibition Mayor
l'pon the Enforcement ol tho Law.
Tho following reply has been made
by Mayor Waddy C. Thomson, of Lan
caster, to the circular letter recently
isaued by ?ov. McSweeney to tho
mayors of the towns und cities. In
I which bo requested their views upon
I the subject ol the enforcement of the
' dlspcnsury law in their respective com*
munities :
Lancaster, Nov. i i, 1900.
(Jov. M. 13, McSweeney, Columbia,
s. c.
My Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of
your circular letter of tho 1st int-t..
directed to me aa mayor, enelo-ing a
sheet of Interrogations as to the stand
ing of this municipality on the dispen
sary law. 1 i.ave answered these ques
tions upon tho sheet and herewith beg
to return same to you. And, in addi
tion, ut your invitation, 1 take pleasure
in giving you a few of my views on
both tho enforcement ui.d betterment
of Ibid law. During my entire term of
, otllce our council has been vory faith
ful In enforcing tho dispensary law,
I und 1 think thut what we have done
I will compare favorably with the action
? of any town in the Stutc, in the bund
ling of this difficult problem, und it is
i our intention to keep this up. Wo
have also endeavored to insist upon
: tho dispensary itself being run tocord
: ing 10 lasv.
In tho way of suggestions, I think
that It would bo a mutter of vital im
| portance if the law could be amended
bo as to require each purchaser of the
intoxicant to certify us to whether he
wan buying it for himself or not, and if
for another, to be compelled to inform
the dispenser for whom bought. '1 nio
would ilo away, to a large extent, with
the ability of drunkards and minors to
obtain intoxicants, as they do now.
This occurs to me to be a very impor
tant feature, and if tho law is eo
amended that a dispenser would
not furnish liquor being bought
for drunkards Of minore, of
course the parties should be punish
ed for any misrepresentation of
this fact. My understanding of the
dispensary law is that il should curtail
as far as possible all the evils of drink
ing intoxicants instead of encouraging
it, and to this end I um n any with ull
of my energy to lend my uld.
As you doubtless know, I am a l'ro
hlbitioniBt, but I am as heartily In
favor of enfoicingtho dispensary law
I as I am of any law upon the slatnto
books, and as lung us it re.i. alns u iuw
I i shall do ull I can to carry it out. i
1 realize fully that it is not an easy prob
lem to handle, and that It is the duty
of every law abiding citizen to lend his
aid and inllucnce toward tho enforoe*
mentof the law us passed by the legis
lature. You can depend upon my boat
\ efforts and hearty eo-oporatlon in the
I enforcement of law and order,
j Trusting that you may be guided in
devising wise ways for bettering and
controlling this problem,
1 am, very truly voura,
Waddy C. THOMSON, Mayor.
