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."

GEORGIA 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.
