"No.” said Major J. C. Hemphill, the
editor of The Charleston News an<^
Courier and chief of Malt of the big
South Carolina delegation which has
been attending the Southern Immigra
tion and Quarantine Conference,
-Nashville, Tenn.. to a reporter of The
Nashville American, “no, Oovernor
Heyward Is not tbs governor of South
Carolina who made the famous remark
to his contemporary In North Carolina,
because that remark , was made a great
many years ago. It hoe been so tong
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
North Carolina or rice versa. For the
latter, I can say that the suggestion
came from the 8outh Carolinian, as any
one would know who Is acquainted
with the true story of the historic In
cident. tor." ond 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
Sf Southern hospitality.
■The meeting of the two governors
occurred a great many years ago,” con
tlnued the genial piajor, "and, os
said, It waa not the governor of Soutl
Carolina who forgot his duties as host
but his Illustrious contemporary.
Trus Story of Incident.
How did it occur? The version as
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 s
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 demi
john of real North Carolina corn whis
ky. copper distilled, within easy
reach.
“There waa nothing stuck up about
these governors. Thars they sot and
smoked und sot 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 was
on the subject of turpentine and rice,
the stdplqa of their respective states,
and the further they got Into the sub
ject the lotyer 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 enabled him to hlste In a likely
share of com 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 Cnrnllnn was a more moderate
drinker, but was mighty sure to strike
the bottom at about the twelfth drink.
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 waa as -hospitable as any real
Southern gentleman could be. 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 If he didn’t he might
lose the thread of his argument and the
demijohn might run dry before the gov
ernor of South Carollnn 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-ln-
lllcted thorn In his side for years to
come, and no amount of apology could
ease his mind or enable him to feci
warranted In showing his countenance
to his fellowmen. 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 n good gourdful as a stirrup cup
when about to toko his departure for
the bosom of his family.
Host Fell Asleep,
Singular to relate, the cautiousness
Ihanlfested by the governor of North
Carolina wns 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
when he learned the fact afterwards, |
dropped off into a quiet sleep, white the
governor of South Carolina continued
to keep on with his argument, holding
the empty gourd tn his hand tn close
contagiousness to the demijohn and
wondering at the apparent absent-
mindedness of his hitherto attentive
host, to whom, after.a minute and a
half of painful silence, he made use of
but one remark: 'Governip*. don't you
think it’s a long time between drinks?*
“The remhrk being overheard by
deorge, the body servant of the gov
ernor of North Carolina, who knowing
there was something wrong, took 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."

NO INVESTIGATION
OF REVENUE GAUGERS
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 on em
phatic denial Wednesday by local reve
nue officials. The deputy collectors
keep a constant vigil upon the work of
the gadgers and a general Investiga
tion Is unnecessary.
"That,article probably grew out of:
the recent action of the federal court
In fining n gauger," said a prominent
official, “and the- fact that several
gaugers who have been falling by the
wayside artr being brought to'trial.'
They are old cases, however, qnd have
been pending for some time. No In
vestigation or probing Is going 6n In
the northern district as was reported.”
