tournament prizes had been declared off

the troop by letter, but as they had uot
received it and had put to expense in
coming here #SOO in prizes would be put up
to be tilted for.
A DEMAND FOR THE THOUSAND.
To this the c mpanv replied by insisting
on the fulfillment of the original agree
ment. and the directors are now consider

tests. They consulted a lawyer to-dav,

D. B. Williamson at Waresbceso.

sonshot and mortally wounded D. B. Will
iamson this morning about 9:30 o’clock. As
Williamson was walking from his store
Davidson called him, saying be wanted to
see him. They passed a few words quietly
about some turpentine boxes, aud William
son says be saw Davidson was drinking, ad
was careful not to say anything to provoke
him, but, seeing him preparing to shoot
him, he wheeled around. Put too late, and a
ball from a Winch- ster rifle took effect in
bis abdomen, passing through bis body.
Williamson is not expected to live
but a few hours. Davidson walked
to a store and gave up his gun and wout
home, but returned shortly and gave him
self up. Baying it was accidentally done.
Some think he was too drunk to know what
he was doing. The affair is very much re
gretted by the friends of both parties.
Williamson and Davi'lson are both turpen
tine men, hut doing a separate busi ess.
Davidson is in jail, but will have a prelimi
nary trial to-morrow. The jail is being
well guarded to-night to keep any one from
interfering with the prisoner.

of Waycross, are doing all they can for
Williamson, but think it impossible for him
to live. The shooting created great excite
ment this morning, but everything is quiet
to-night. Both men have families.

SOME HISTORIC KISSES.
SOME OF THE 08CULATIONS THAT
LIVE IN LITERATURE.
The Betrayal of Christ—Shakespeare’s
Poetic KA3es-How the Ladies Pre
sented at Court Should Kiss the
Queen’s Hand.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
London, Oct. 6. —I wrote some time ago
an article upon kisses in ge eral, which
was, I am told, rather popular. Since
then I have tbojght of continuing tbe sub
ject and of treating not of tbe kiss iu pri
vate life, the fleeting joy permitted to love
and friendship, bu of the kiss as it appears
in history and literature.
It must not be forgotten that the great
trag- dy of the Christian religion was in
augurated with a kiss—that of Judas. It is
hard to realize the action of a man who
was privileged to touch with his lipe tbs
visage of the Divine Savior, and could turn
that inestimable privilege to the account of
so hideous a betrayal. Years ago I remem
ber reading extracts from a poem written
by some English author, whose name I have
now forgotten, in which Sa an was depicted
as welcoming judas to the infernal regions,
and tbe fiend
“With smirched lips, fuliginous and hot
Returned tie kiss that he to Christ had given."
This is probe“>ly the most famous of all
the celebrated kisses of the world. Pity it
ia that it should have been also the seal of
THE WORLD’S VILEST TREACHERY.
In the middle nges the kiss of the sovereign
formed a part of the solemn feud 1 1 cere
mony by which the vassal did homage to
his liege lord. The king or prince, at con
clusion of the Tito, was wont to kiss his
groat subject on both cheeks. This part of
the proceedings was modified to a kiss on
tbe brow when the estates or territory
wore held by a woman, the peeresses of
France haviug presented a formal petitio i
to that effect. When Louis XI. was tueir
monarch and liege lord it was probably a
great comfort to be spared one-half of that
portion of the cere nonv. That king mar
ried the Scottish princess Margaret, It was
she who, when dauphiuess, bestowed upon
the poet Allan Übartier a kiss that has
remained celebrate l to the present day.
She found him sleeping in the palace
gardens, and, as she said to her ladies in
explanation of her action, “I kiss the elo
quent lips that have given utterance to such
n ble verses." This incident has inspired
not only French painters, but also a French
dramatist as well, with a subject worthy of
commemoration by their talents.
Shakespeare abounds in allusions to the
gentle grace of kissing.
THE GRANDEST KISS IN ALL LITERATURE
is undoubtedly that which Coriolanus be
stowes upon his wife, Virgilia.
“Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge."
In "King Henry VIII." tie king, after
treadi g a measure with Anne Boleyn at
the feast at York Place, remarks to his fair
partner after he removes his mask:
"Sweetheart, I were unmannerly to take you
out
Anil not to kiss you."
Whic i argues that such a salutation formed
part of the performances of the stately
dances of the period.
Antony exclaims to Cleopatra at the close
of his noble and tender rebuke to her after
her cowardice has caused the loss of the
battle of Actium:
"Give me a kiss!
Even this repays me.”
In "The Merchant of Venice," when Bas
sanio has made his fortunate choice of tho
leaden casket, the scroll within it bids him
“Turn you where your lady is
An ! claim her with a loving kiss."
Whereupon he pertinently remarks:
"A gentle scroll, fair lady, by your leave."
And forthwith sets the seal on his be
throthal to the divine Portia by kissing
her.
"Peace, I will stop your mouth,” cries
Benedick to Beatrice in the last soene of
"Much Ado About Nothing,” and he stops
it with kisses.
VERY TENDER AND PATHETIC
is the lament of Imogen in "Cymbsline”
concerning the pouting kiss which the sud
den entry of her father prevented her from
bestowing on Posthumus, who she hears
frooa Pisanio that on his departure her hus
band waved bis handkerchief,
"And kissed it, madam."
Imogen—
‘ ‘Senseless linen? Happier therein than I.”
The ill-starred passion of Romeo and
Juliet finds its first demonstration id the
kiss exchanged by the lovers at their first
meetiug at the house of Capulet in the first
act, and it closes with that caress where.n
Juliet seeks in the lips of her dead husband
some trace of the deadly venom that has
caused his death.
"I will kiss thy lips.
Haply some provision yet doth hang on them
To make me die with a restorative."
Bel ween these two kisses lies all that
storm aud stress of passion and of pain that
the world knows as the greatest love tragedy
—the story of “Romeo and Juliet.”
It is a curious fact that tho mention in
"Hamlet” of the kisses bestowed upou tho
queen by Claudius figure among Ham
let's bitterest terms of reproach to his
mother in the closet scene. He speaks with
infinite contempt of the “reechv kisses” she
may receive from her new husnand. Also
it is noted that there is no mention of an
exchange of kisses botween
OPHELIA AND HAMLET.
The gentle maiden reminds him of "words
of such sweet breath composed,” but has
not to reproach him with auy stolen kisses
iu the days that he believed that he loved
her.
The love words of Othello are of the fatal
kisses wherewith he set the seal on Desde
raona’s doom,
‘I kissed thee ere I kill'd thee—No way but this
‘Killing myself, lo die upon a kiss."
And so, with that last caress to the dead
wife that he so loved and that he has slaiu
the mighty spirit of “Otnollo” departs. ’
One of the most melancholy kisses re
corded by Shakespeare is the parting em
hrnee exchanged between Kiug Richard
111., in the play of that name, and his
queen, Isabel of France. The king siys:
“One kiss shall stop our mouths, and dumbly
part;
Thus give I mine, and thus I take thy heart!"
[They kiss.]
Queen—
“ Give me mine own aeaiD; 'twere no good part
To take on me to keep, aud kill thy heart ”
[Kiss again.]
But we must pause in our contemplation
of tbe kiss os recorded in the pages of Shake
speare. So often aid so prommeatiyhas the
great dramatist brought this tender most
of caresses into the action of his plays that
I might fill tho whole space allotel to this
article with quotations from his immortal
verse on this subject.
THERE IS THE KISS RELIGIOUS
as bestowed by good Catholics on the slipper
of the pope, or upon the apostolic ring on
the hand of an archbishop. Nor is the kiss
exchanged by members of the Greek church
oa Easter Sunday to be forgotten, whe i two
persons meeting aud exc,aiming: “Christ
is arisen!” become privileged to kiss each
other, though one may bo tbeczarand the
other a peasant or a common soldier. Once
during the reign of the Czar Nicholas that
mighty sovereign addressed these
words to the sentinel at his palace gate, aud
instead of the p. oper response, “He is r sen
iudeed,” was met by the answer, “He has
done nothing of the kind!" The sentinel
c.ianced on that occasion to be a Jew. Since
then a law has been promulgated to the
Russian army that oniy Christians are to t e
appointed to serve as sentries on Easter
morning.
The rules relating to tho kiss, which ladies
who are presented to Queen Victoria at one
of the drawing rooms of the London season
must besto .v upon the sovereign’s hand, are
very minute and must b strictly followed.
The person presan ed must receive the
queens hand ou the back of her own, and
must touch it with her lips. A too fervent
salute is in bad taste, as % also a mere pre
tense at going through the form. There is
a story told concerning an American dame
who was
PRESENTED TO THE QUEEN
a short time after her accession, when the
rules of etiquette were not nearly so well
understood in the L’r.i ed States as they are
nowadays. Instead of kisdrg the white
hand of the youtoful sovereign, our good
countrywoman sb ok it heartily aud de
clared that “she was most haopy to mane
her majesty’s acquaintance.” VVhereupo .
the queen, who was then a merry gi-1 of 19,
in her turn violated the rules of official
etiquette t.y indulging in a series of stifled
giggles all through the rest of the cere
mony.
The famous kiss, or rather series of kisses,
that the beautiful Georgina, Duchesi of
Devonshire, exchanged for votes for the
candidate of her party for parliament,
needs nothing m ire tnau mere mention here
since the story is an exceedingly well known
historical inc.dent.
The custom of kiniig is one that is essen
tially E iglish and American. French peo
ple. and particularly persons of opposite
sexes, never kiss u less the parties be hus
band and wife, or upon some solemn occa
sion. such as tnemioment of parting for a
long separation. It is cousid red in the
worst possible taste for a father to kiss his
daughter, after sho has emerged from
childhood, on her kps or even upon her
cheek; he must only kiss her upon tbe brow.
Eng sged people must never kiss each other;
that would Le cons lered as the hignt of
impropriety. Gentlemen occasionally ex
change kisses in Germany, as well as in
France, but oniy when returning from a
long absence or when starting upon a jour
ney, or ou the eve of a:i eternal separation,
either by death or enforced departure. So
when
FRENCH AUDIENCES BEHOLD ENGLISH
or American plays they are quite as scan
dalized by the pr ictice of kissing, as exem
plified upon the E iglish-speaking stage, as
we can be by the can-can of a French comic
opera company.
Animals never kiss each other, for the
seeming caress that j nns the bills of doves
in a pretty mo kery of the human kiss is
declared by naturalists to be, no an evi
dence of affection, bu. of qutrreling. But
the swift, light touc of the tongue that an
uffoc.ionate dog will bestow upo i tho hand
or tbe cheek of a beloved m ister or mis
tress, is undoubtedly t e canine fo. m of
kissing, and differs ns widely from the
animal’s usual proceis of licking as h s
whiue of delight dues from his ordinary
bark.
To end up these brief remarks I must state
that, after mature consideration, I have
come to the-coutlusion that the land of the
stars and stripes is also the land of kisses.
Nowhere else in tne world is this dainty
caress so .genera ily dispensed or with more
perfect propnetyvtlum by the “s veatest lips
that e’er were pressed,” tho eof our young
aud blooming girl . Our great generals, ou
some nccasious, have > eeu nearly bom
bardod out of exis eucr by the showers of
kisses that descended upon their devo.e 1
heads. Often has galiaui William T. Sher
ma i been so surrounded aud petted with
the rosy ammunition of young girl kisses
that his friends have expected to rear him
cry for quarter—but he never didl May no
more unp ea-ant or more hostile missiles
ever assail the grand old veteran!
