But who knows, for sure, which governor said it, to whom it was addressed, or when and where and under what circumstances it was uttered? For, as so often happens in the case of an historic utterance, theres some dispute about all those points. their drinking. For it is preserved Down in North Carolina, in the home of Mrs. C.

There, according I Here is the North Carolina version of the story: The hospitable home of the widow, Mrs. Nancy Jones, between Raleigh and Durham was accustomed to notable visitors. However, on a June day in 1838 there was a great flurry in the household for not one governor, but two, were approaching. While Mrs. Jones supervised preparations for dinner, Laney, dean of the household servants, hurried to the mint bed at the back door and dispatched another slave to draw some cool water. While Gov. Edward B. Dudley of North Carolina and Gov. Pierce Mason Butler chatted over their glasses, Laney hovered nearby. As the old woman listened, a terrible indictment of the homes hospitality assailed her ears. She flew back to the kitchen. Miss Nancy, did you heah 'em?" the horrified servant whisDid you hear whut dey pered. aay? Mistah Governor Dudley done said 'Hit's a damn long time between drinks.'

Not only will North Carolinians show you the Nancy Jones house on the Durham-Raleig- h road but if you go to the latter city you may be permitted to see the very table at which the two governors did to this version of the yarn, the chief executive of the Tarheels gave voice to a gentle hint about his thirst in the words which are still used wherever drinks are drunk and drunks drink. Another Version. Still another version of the famous yarn identifies neither the two governors nor the date of their historic meeting although Raleigh is given as the place. This story is as follows: Some white fugitives from South Carolina found refuge in North Carolina. The governor of South Carolina demanded their return but the governor of North Carolina, for political reasons, was unwilling to grant the request. A heated correspondence followed .and finally the governor of the Tarheels invited his to a banquet in Raleigh. There the governor of South Carolina made a speech in which he again demanded the return of the fugitives and ended up by turning to the North Carolinian and asking: "What do you say, governor?" Thereupon the governor of North Carolina replied: "I say its a long time between drinks. A variation on this version places the meeting of the two governors not far from the state line in South Carolina (instead of Raleigh), where its executive hinted that he had state militia assembled to back up his demand for the return of a runaway slave (instead of some white fugitives).
