Letter
to a Lancaster Lawyer
Lancatter. 8. C.
De.tr Sir: What's the penalty
for making or selling short-meature
paint in your state ?
And does it tnake any difference,
if three-fourths of the
paints are short-measure ?
Is seven pints a full g illon or
a tool-gallon ?
What's the penalty for making
or selling whitewash for paint ?
Is whitewash paint, if mixed
with a little paint and labeled
"Puro mixed paint," or something
like that ?
Hut we don't iutond to go into
tho business. We make De.voe
lead-and zinc full-measure and
true.
Yours truly,

YOUNG l.ADV ClIOKEI) BY NKUUO.
Darlington, Feb. 1.?Monday
evening about 7 o'clock a young
l.idy while going from her sister's
to her father's home on Orange
street, only a short distance, was
attacked bv a negro, who had hid
den behind a large oak tree. As
the lady approached the brute
| sprang from his lairjind demanded
money. The lady, a most
lent young woman, belongingto
ono of Darlington's best and
most prominent families,screamed
for help, and with true courage
and heroism, endeavored to rid
herself of the fiend, which she did
but not uhtil the demon had bruised
her throat with his heinous
fingers. A noise in a nearby
dwelling is supposed also to have
frightened the scoundrel, who
took to his heels. A diligent
search with bloodhounds was made
but the dogs feemed to lose the
trail. A similar attack was made
on a lady on Pearl street not long
ago and the assailant, a negro, as
in this case, became frightened
and ran.

Brown Predlots Higher Price* for
Cotton*
j Charlotte Obset vor.
Mr [I O Alexuuder, a Charlotte
cotton broker, has received the
following letter from M.r W I'
Brown, the well-known cotton
merchant of Now Orleans:
"1 thank you very much for
your telegram of the 25th instant
in which you say a prominent fer
tilizur dealer in your town had
sold 100 tons of fertilizer up tc
this timo last year against none
this year, and that the farmer?
are not going to buy it. If planters
will stick to their good re60
lutions, which I liolieve they will,
success is assured. I cousider the
convention that has just adjourneil
here has been a big success, and
if they carry out tho resoln'iom
adopted and reduce their acreage
and use less fertilizer, and hold
what they are now carrying,
there is no question in my mind
but what they will get big prices,
for both tne balance of this croj
and the next crop. I hear fron
all quarters that much less forti
lizer is being sold, and that t
great many orders that were plac
ed for futuro delivery are l?einp
cancelled In fact. I atn interest.
od in n fertilizer company and 1
know thnt we have had orders
cancelled on us. If farmers only
knew it, they have practically go!
the market cornered. Exporters
are short to spinnors, I will say,
at least 3,000,000 to 4,O00,00C
hales. I presume most of them
are protected by futures, and it
the farmer refuses to fell, the sx
porter will have to demand the
Cotton on his futures, which it
bound to bring about an advancf
in the market sooner or later.
STRAIGHT FACTS.
A whole lot of fancy phrase* can be
%vriiten about remedies, but it lake?
facts to prove anything? good straight
facts. And the strongest fact you evei
lieaid is that TannopUine is the beat
cure for piles on the market. It cure*
absolutely. Has a healing, soothing
effect from the start.
Alldruggists have it for $1 00 a jar.
Ask for Tannopiline and don't dart
take a substitute.
Tho following ia found in ar
aacount of the taking of 203
Metre Hilljon the last days oJ
the Port Arthur siege:
With the exception of thre<
prisoners not a live Russian was
found on the summit. They had
been shelled to pieces, and nol
even a mouse could have escaped
from that bail. No mountain
ever contained, contracted in sr
small a space, so much of the hor
rors of war. The crest had beer
absolutely smashed to pieces.
One could not even trace the lines
of original defences. Amonj
this confused jumble of rocka,
sandbags, shells, charred timber
broken rifles, bits of uniforms ant
soldiers' accoutrements of ever}
description the dead lay in hum
dreds, many smashed beyond re
semblance to human form, so terrible
is the effect of modern shell
On the oust side of tin
mountain lav dead Russians anc
on the west side the dead Japan
ese. The summit was sacred tr
both.
Truly a picture which prove*
the correctness of Sherman's definition
of ' war.?Charlotte Ob
