In all my plcnlcklnus I havo never seen so large a proportion of pretty girl, well dressed, happy-eyed anil pleased with life. Hut all sorts were mere, mauu- lln lovers and all. I overheard a pas sionate maid any to a man. moved by what remark of nis 1 anew nm, I wlHht I could speaK my mum. Sometimes I wlsht I could turn my soul wrong-side out!" The funniest tunc tlist ever happened was when a fat girl, waddling ulong by the wire. caught sight or a young mnn micro v, ii.it at i.eace among his fellows. Hhe scrutinised him n moment, and explalmed. "Toby! Is that Toby?" It was Tnbv, and he owned me corn by hulking to his feet. The sirl ran to him and Just laid her fat self against him, so that her head went clean by his. She did not touch him with her hands, and he left hl hands s'lffly by is side. He was plainly H horcd man. conscious of public gnio and the awkward situation, but li norant how to eeenpe. After the girl had left her form alongside him for a moment or two. she dodged hack nnd kissed him. When you get five thous and people together, like a man with out a gun. you ir. y expect t. see Ktrange things. J- M- Decision To-Xlglt n to IWh Smalls' Fate). Observer Hureau, U'09 Main Street.

Ia reply to Mr. Tatum's card, Mr.. Lyon' says' ha has never as sarted ' dispensary v. : insolvency but, from appearances, he believes It. He doubts If tha," dispensary could,: by liquidation; : pay' it debts, because of has now on hand, a great stock of cheap liquor.- bought at high, price. Mr. Ragsdale, . who feels, 'that .un worthy 1 lmpuatatlona ' hava : been brought' Into. this ' campaign,, In - a 'coot deliberate - way said: ' " f Anybody ' -who says I hava' any connection with tha graft ers or have throwa anything In tha way of tha success of ' tho Investi gating committee lies and lies know ingly." ConUnulng. Mr. Ragsdale said that Mr. Lyon had ' likened the officers of tha State dispensary to busxarda and yet Mr. Lyon had voted to put Messrs. Wiley and Rawllnson Into offlca. " v MR. LTON ENTERS DENIAL. Mr. Lyon arose at this and said: "I hava never called either Mr. Wiley's or Mr. Rawllnson's name In' any speech -on - tha -stump. I voted -for Messra Wiley and Rawllnson and know nothing against them." Mr. Ragsdale: "Mr. Lyon aald tha buzzards were gathering around that festering carcass on the Congaree." Mr. Lyon: "I said that and will say It again.' Mr. Ragsdale: "And Messrs Wiley and Rawllnson gather about tha State dispensary to carry on the business of tha State." Tha audience cheered loudly for both candidates, perhaps more en thusiastically for Mr. Ragsdale. Mr. O. L, Walker, candidate for the office of comptroller 0eneral,. says he la a private citizen of Green ville. and Is not responsible for In equalities of taxation In that county. If property Is returned at the usual value then tho three-mill constitu tional school tax will be doubted. He ia opposed to the flexible levy pro posed by the comptroller general, be cause this would take the assessment of taxes out of the hands of the peo ple and put It Into the hands of he few. It Is strange,, he thinks, that the Souhern Railway propery is re turned at only II per cent, of Its val ue. In reply to Mr. Walker, General Jones said he Is not afraid of the railroad. Ho has been fighting them for years and, during his administra tion, 12.000,000 has been added to the assessed valuation of tha rail roads in South Carolina. The Morgan block tn the city of Greenville Is worth 1140,000. It Is returned 'at 110,000, only seven per cent, of Its value. The Cagla block In the same town Is returned at only five per cent, of its value. He cannot set aside the three-mill constitutional school tax, but If property were re turned at Is actual value, there would be no neexl of extra levies for the support of schools. Mr. Jones cut a bill for 1167 sent in by The Green ville Herald down to $16.76. A FIVE CORNERED MATCH. The two candidates, for adjutant general Messrs. Haskell and Boyd, gave a very friendly presentation of their opposing Interesta It was thrust and parry In the live-cornered match for railroad commissioner. Messrs. Cansler, Sullivan. Sellers and Sum mersett "knockod" Col. Warton's record. Tho colonel claims he Is holding up well under the attacks of his four opponents. For Governor Mr. Joel E. Brunaon was glad to see his badge being worn by a good lady of Chesterfield and wagered that no body would wear the badge of a dis pensary candidate. Mr. Richard I. Manning was recelvod with loud ap plause. He conllned his remarks to former methods of argument. When asked how ho would Insure the ab solute purity of liquor he replied that there Is no Ideal way but the safest manner Is to buy It from govern ment bonded warehouses without having It pass through any middle hands. Mr. John J. McMahan belleveathat the proposocl Raysor-Mannlng bill would allow too much latitude In the amount of liquor to be ordered out under each contract. According to the constitution ceraln profits from the liquor business oecamo, as soon as made, the property of the schools and should be turned over to them and yet we now havo the State dis pensary due the schools 1600.000. Mr. Kdwards inveighed against the power of corporate Interests. Mr. A. C. Jones advised the people of Chester filed to pettttlon for an election to voto out tho dispensary on teh day of the general eloctlon so there will be no extra expense to tho county. He will give the sama advise to other counties. Col. John T. Sloan told Mr. Brun aon that tho color of his badge indi cated the' 18th of August would be, a blue day for him. After passing along a very rough, muddy road last night. Col. Martin D. Ansel Is convinced more than ever of the importance of Improved hlghwaya. HITS AT MESSRS. SLOAN AND MANNING. Mr. Cole L. Bleaao made great sport of Mr. Ansel's platform: He hit Messrs. Sloan and Manning for for climbing on the dispensary bond wagon and putting himself forward as the only dispensary candidate. Mossrs Ragln, Morrison and McCown, candidates for Secretary Of State, had tha pain of speaking last. As the train pulled out at I o'clock, Mr. McCown dashed up at a great gate just In time.

Youth of II and Beautiful Girl of 18 Commit Suicide at Philadelphia Be cause Parents Would Not Let Them Marry Found Clapped In Each Other's Arms, v . Philadelphia, July II. Grevlously disappointed because their parents would not permit them to marry, Gustave Kathke, aged II years, and Ella Miller, a beautiful girl of IS, committed suicide together Tuesday night by jumping Into the Delaware river. To-night the bodlea . of me young couple, clasped In each other'a arms, came to the surface near Cheat nut street wharf, this city, and were taken from the river by the police. Kathke and the girl -had been mis sing since Tuesday, when they left their home to visit friends In another part of the city. He had been paying attention to the young woman for about four years and was anxious to make her his wife. The parents of both, however, objected because of their youthfulness, and these objec tions caused tho young couple much sorrow. The young woman had of ten spoken of ending her life If not permitted to marry, but little atten tion was paid to her remarks. Before leaving home on Tuesday, Kathke told a cousin he was going out for a launch ride on the Delaware river with Miss Miller. He was In good spirits, apparently, and told the rel ative that It anything should happen to him not to let tne coroner bury him. He told the cousin. Jokingly, to l-.ang crepe on the front door and lay a bunch of 18 roses on his cof fin. The young man and woman failed to return to their homes that night and the next day they were reported to the police as missing. The morn ing mail of Wednesday brought a letter to tho girl's mother In which the daughter snld ihe mother would never see her araln.- Nothing more was heard of Ihe couple until to-night, when the churning of the propeller of a tug boat which waa tlelng up at Chestnut street wharf, caused- tho bodies to come to the surface. From the way the" ' arms were clasped about "each other. It Is supposed that Kathke and Miss Miller embraoed and jumped Into the river. CIIADIiOTTE DAY NITRSERY.
