And the Govm-nor of North Carolina said unto the Governor of South Caro- lina. “ It's a long time between drinks.” From these words. dearly beloved, I shall address you to-dayâ€"words which have received an universal credence since the day they were uttered. words which have set a worthy exemplar be- fore us, words which have been as sweet. as Meribah to many thirsty souls. The history of this famous incident is wrapped in obscurity. Tradition, usu- ally so verbose on these subjects, has not even stepped in to furnish the de- tails. The words alone remain, having lived by virtue of their everlasting truth and beauty. It is evident, on examining the text. that the dramatis persona: in this little episode were the Governor of North Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina. I am sure, brethren, your minds as well as mine are divided in the question which was the greater manâ€"the Governor of North Carolina, who made so refreshing. so Welcome, so statesmanlikc a proposition, or the Gov- ernor of South Carolina, whose keen insight and ready tact led him to accept it with such alacrlty. For, although there is nothing in the text to avoueh that, popular opinion has declared that the Governor of South Carolina assent- ed,and to thisday people have lollowed his example whenever the famous say- ing has been quoted. Indeed,thewords of my text have come to be regarded as a synonym for ruder forms of alcoholic invitation, such as, “ Well, let‘s have a drink,” or “ It's my turn next,” or “ Name your poison," and so on." But to resume. A little imagination will help us to fill in the picture. It was, perhaps, One of those blazing. fer- vent days frequent in the South. We may assume the Weather was hot, be- cause the icy touch 01 winter seldom gropes so far south as the Carolinas. The two statesmen ware seated in the back room of the leading hotel in Charleston, we will say, for it is eviâ€" l dent lrom the text that North Carolina was the scene of the event, and the Governor of North Carolina the host. I know thatI am going contrary to the commentators who argue from the words " between drinks" that the Gov- lernor of South Carolina had already pressed liquid refreshment on the Gav- tality; but I think I am not amiss in interpreting: the expression as it is gen~ erally used nowadays. namely, as :1 del- icate reminder that a drink would be a good thing In the absence of any reputable authorities on the subject, I Shall always hold to this theory. The two Governors, then. were seated in the little back room within c0nveni~ cnt distance of the bar, when the famâ€" ous maxim was delivered. It is prob- able they were hatching out some big political coups, and the thought struck them simultaneously that a little liquid would both “moisten the organ." as Silas \l’egg puts it, and would assist their deliberations. I have thought deeply over the matter as to what was the particular beverage they called for, and I have concluded that it was whisâ€" ky, which, as everyone knows, is warm- ing in winter, and, with the addition of ice and a few leaves of mint, is cool- in},Ir in summer. The last concoction is vulgarly known as mint julepâ€"a most banal name for such an ethereal drink. 'l‘his inference is confirmed because of the proximity ofthc State of Kentucky, famous for its Bourbon brand of booze. At any rate we may be sure that it was an alcoholic drinkI because I have ner- er_yet heard anyone complain of its beluga long time between drinks of lemonade, or chocolate, or tea, or coffee. or any of the other beverages which cheer and do~not iuebriate. The two Governors knew well the cumulative force of mint julcps, satisfying the. thirst for the moment, but leaving a latent desire for more. This is not the case with soft drinks, vulgarly known as “ slops.” ' We may deduce some of the personal characteristics of the two Governors from the text. Their predilection for mint juleps would lead us to believe that they were florid men. The gener- ous liquor, circulating in their blood, would naturally give their faces a ruddy tinge, and might even settle in their noses, giving them what is known as “ bottle nesc,” which is generally a pledge that a man is genial and has a proper appreciation of the amenities of life. I think we may conclude that the. mo Governors were jolly, whole-souled fellows, but astute withal. Else how could they attain such eminence ? It is not unlikely that their capacity for mint juleps had something to do with their election. The masses always ad- mire a man who can carry a heavy enrâ€" go without losing his head. It would be possible for me to trace the influence of whisky in politics, but I forbear, and leave that branch of the discussion to your own invention. .3. great many conjectures have arisen an to what period may be called “a long, tinm.” This is a difficult problem, and the solution varies with the temperaâ€" ment and financial circumstances of the drinkers. I think, however, that, if wo judge by the average habit,six minutes would be a generous allowance. That interval allows the liquor to assimilati- with the current of our blood, and our stomachs to prepare for another. It. must not be inferred that these two eminent gentlemen were topcrs. 'l‘he dignity of their position precludes that. They Were, doubtless, men who had found the middle course always the best. They were probably believers in Aristotle’s doctrine that the Menu is always the Virtue. Undoubtedly the two Governors wore temperate men. And now to hasten to my cxordium. What lessons may be drawn from the text ? How do they apply to us? Let me state them briefly. Firstly, to attain eminence in poli- l tics, we must know how to drink mint juleps. ' Secondly, we must drink so many l mint juleps that the expression of our text can only be regarded as a bit of merry badinage. 'l‘hirdly, we must be generous in OH hospitality, especially in the matter of mint julep, or its equivalent. Fourthly, we must never refuse an ! invitation to drink mint julcpfl- With these lessons in mind, ‘l'éllrly l hdovcd, we all may be, some def» l Governors, or Premiers, or Cabin“ , Ministers or Government officials.
