CHARLESTON GALA WEEK.
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.
(mostly fro,) hastily provided
coverlets for each member of
the Simkins family and made
quick time for the middle of the
potato patch, once there he
prayed: “Good Lord, being
right now in the very midst of
one of Bill Arp’s “Devil on a
’scursion,,’ we need Thv pres
ent protection, and blessing
and that purty quick. 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. W., the house'set-
tled back on its pillars. The
danger was past, and Uncle
Silas exclaimed, “What did I
tell ye 'bout the ’fleasyof Pray
er!”

A number of queer bets are
being made on the coming elec
tion, but the following may be
interesting: A resident of this
town agrees to swallow a bug
if McKinley is elected, and
wants some McKinleyite to
swallow a pitchfork in case of
the election of Bryan.

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.
Please don’t forget that Wade
Hampton said; An independent
wont than a radical.”—Charleston
Sun.
Please don’t be so silly as to
apply Wade Hampton’s remark,
made fifteen years ago, to the
present. You must remember
there are only about 12,000 ne
groes registered now to about
90,000 whites.
