The people of Charleston are making great preparations for Gala Week which will begin Monday the 36th and end Sat* urday the 31st. In former years many attractions, well worth seeing, have been provided by the citiiens of the city for the entertainment of the thousands of people from all parts of the State, and this year seems to be no exception to the rule. Charleston knows how to make her visitors enjoy themselves, and, if one will but read over the list of amusements publish ed in the advertisement in another calumn, he will readily see that there will be a plenty for the entertainment of all kinds and conditions of people. In addition to the special at tractions provided by the busi ness men and citisens generally, of course there will be plays, operas dfcc. it the theatres for those who like that kind of thing, and altogether the week will be “chock full” of enjoy ment. Those who do not desire, or who can not obtain accomo* dauous at the hotels, will find a numbers of boarding houses where quarters at reasonable rates can be secured. Rem ember then that the Gala Week Festival begins Oct. 26th and that you can go to Charleston on that occasion for one cent arch way or about one third the usual rate. dence was directly in the path of the tri-cyclone, when he felt his house swaying to and fro.

If you can't come at once send your Son, verily, verily, amen. The prayer ended, he sang “Hark from thetombsadoleful Sound” or tried to sing it, but forget ting the words, with flying feet he ran and brought his Hymn 3ook, and finding it difficult, on account of the blinding storm, to read, he handed the book to Simeon and Solomon, his bons, and asked them more >intudly than prously, ‘Why n the Divil don’t ye help me ine out this here hime? You have more larnin than I’s got. Just then he saw the home which had sheltered his head amid many a storm, going, go ing—but the wind suddenly veering 8. S.

THE WORLD HEADING SilOWS ARE T 1HE LARGEST, GRANDEST and BEST AMUSEMENT INSTITUTE I IH ALL THE WORLD.] The dispensary law, it is claimed by its advocates, was passed to decrease the habit of drinking. Some have main tained that it does and others the countrary. The truth of the matter is about as follows: Those who reside in towns pos sibly drink less than they did under the barroom system, but the country people driuk more. The town marshal of Cheraw told the' editor of The News, the other day, that he has seen more drunkenness among the people of Chesterfield county last year and this year than he ever saw before. Under the barroom system the country, people would go in and take several drinks and a few would go home drunk—but now they buy liquor by the bottle and soak it as long as it lasts. The more one examines this law the more odious it becomes in near ly all of its phases, and the more are people becoming con vinced that it is one of the most monstrous and iniquitous humbugs ever saddled on people against their will.
