Just What the Governor of South Carolina
Sa d to Governor of North Carolina and

WON HUSBAND’- HEART AT CHUM’S WEDDING
(Copyright, 1806, by W. It. Hearat.)

ivho, an Mix. Spinning, wax one of the moet .beautiful Kirin at one of New
Turk's meet fashionable schools, nntl who won the heart of her present
husband at tho wedding of her chum. Miss Blanche Lupkln, where he
wus best man. Mr. and Mrs. Evans are now on their honeymoon.
"No,” said Major J. C. Hemphill, the
editor of The Charleston News and
Courier and chief of staff of the big
South Carolina delegation which has
been attending the Southern Immigra
tion and Quarantine Conference, . In
Nashville, Tenn., to a reporter of The
Nashville American, “no, governor
HeywanI Is not the governor of South
Carolina who made the famous remark
to his contemporary In North Carolina,
because that remark was made a great
many year* ago. It has been no long
that even In South Carolina the name
of the particular governor has been
forgotten, while elsewhere It Is an open
question with many whether the re
mark was ‘made by the governor of
South Carolina to the governor of
North Carolina or vice versa. For the
latter. I can say that the suggestion
came from the South Carolinian, ns any
one would know who Is acquainted
with tho true story of tho hlttorlc In
cident. for," and here Major Hemphill
gesticulated proudly, "every one knows
that a South Carolina man, to say
nothing of the governor, would never
get In a condition to forget the rules
of Southern hospitality.
"The meeting of the two governors
occurred a great many years ago," con
tinued the genial major, "and. aa I
said. It was not the governor of South
Carolina who forgot hi* duties as host,
but his Illustrious contemporary.
True Story of Incident.
How did It occur? Tho verelon
It has come down Is that of a North
Carolina historian. Who he was I do
not know, but his recital of the mo
mentous incident Is as follows:
"A great many years ago the gov
ernor of North Carolina received a
friendly visit from the governor of
South Carolina After a real North
Carolina dinner of bacon and yams the
two governors lit pipes and sat In the
shade of a back veranda with a deml-
e hn of real North Carolina com whis-
copper dletllled, within easy
reach.
"There waa nothing atuck up about
these governor*. There they sot and
smoked apd ant and smoked, every once
In'a while taking a mutual pull at the
demijohn with the aid of a guard which
they used as a democratic goblet. The
conversation of the two governors waa
on the aubject of turpentine and rice,
the ataple* nf their reapectlve states,
and the further they got Into the aub
ject the lower down they got Into the
jug, and the lower down* they got Into
the Jug the dryer the governor of South
Carolina got, who was a square drinker
and a warm man, with about a million
pores to every square Inch of his hide,
which enabler! him to hlste In a likely
share of corn juice or other beverage
and keep his carcass at the same time
well ventilated and generally always
ready for more, while the governor of
North Carolina wns a more moderate
drinker, but was mighty sure to strike
like as If nature had measured him by
the guordful.
Sot and Smoked,
"Well, they sot and smoked and ar
gued, and the governor of North Caro
lina was as hospitable as any real
Southern gentleman could he, for he
ladled out the whisky in the most lav
ish manner, being particular to give his
distinguished guest three drinks to one,
and gauging his own dose with great
care, for fear It he didn't ho might
lose the thread of hla argument and the
demijohn might run dry before the gov
ernor of South Carolina should be
ready to dust out for home. In which
case It would look like he had not
properly observed the laws of hospital
ity, which would have been a self-in
flicted thorn In his side for years to
come, and no amount of apology could
ease his mind or enable him to feel
warranted In showing his countenance
to his fellotvmcn, especially In his home
district, where for generations It had
been a main point with every gentle
man to keep his visitor well supplied
with creature comforts, and to hand
him a good’gourdful ns a stirrup cup
when about to take his departure for
the bosom of his family.
Host Fell Asleep.
"Singular to relate, the cautiousness
manifested by the governor of North
Carolina was of no avail, for at one
and the same moment the Jug went dry
and the governor of North Carolina,
much to his subsequent mortification 1
when he learned the fact afterwards, I
dropped off Into a quiet sleep, while the j
governor of South Carolina continued
to keep on with his argument, holdingJ
the empty gourd In Ilia hand In close {
contagiousness to tho demijohn nnd i
wondering at tho apparent absent- I
mindedness of Ids hitherto attentive |
host, to whom, nfter a minute nnd
half of painful silence, he made uso of
but one remark: 'Oovernor, don’t you
think It's a long time between drinks?'
'The remark being overhenrd by
Qeorge, the body servant of tho gov
ernor of North Carolina, who knowing
there was something wrong, tdbk to
the woods, where he remained In se
clusion three days, but the governor
of South Carolina, receiving no reply
from the governor of North Carolina,
mounted his horse and rode sadly
homeward with an Irrepressible feel
ing at his heart that there was coming,
to be a hollowness In friendship, and
that human nature was in danger of
drifting Into a condition of chaotic
mockery.”

The recent publication to the effect
that a general Investigation has been
Instituted by Internal revenue officials
of the possible shortcoming of revenue
gaugers was responsible for ah em
phatic dental Wednesday by local reve
nue officials. The deputy collectors
keep a constant vigil upon the work of
the gaugers and a general Investiga
tion Is unnecessary.
"That. article, probably grew out of
the recent action of the federal court
ih lining a gauger,” said a prominent
ofllclal, "and .the fact that several
gaugers who have been falling by the.
wayside . are b^lng brought to trial.
