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.” THIS ENTIRE OUTFIT $10.00.
