It is a Bath physician who tells the followiug: "Sometime ago, I happened to spend the night in a country town tot far from Bath, aud it happened that there was stopping at the same hotel an itineraut eye specialist. "We drifted into a conversation, and during the course of the evening be told me of some of the marvelous operations he had performed on the eye. One case in particular he spoke of that caused me considerable astonishment, for I didn't *know; I confess, that the operation had been successfully performed. He said he had recently taken out a patient's eye, scraped the back of it, and returned it to its proper place. The patient, he said, was trnnhled bv bad evesigbt after ward. "That was a difficult operation, doctor," said I. "Yes," said he, "it was." "I suppose you found it necessary to employ an antesthetic?" "Yes, I did," he admitted. "What aniestbetic did you use, doctor ?" I persisted. "Oh, well unless you are familiar with such operations, you probably wouldn't understand if I were to 'ell you, But?well, it was shaped something like a spoon," explained the eminent specialist.?Lewiston Journal.

The Only Thing Left.?A grandfather, well-known in the English house of commons, was cbattiDg amicably with his little granddaughter, who was ensconced od his knee. "What makes your hair so white, grandpa?" the little miss queried. "I am very old my dear; I was in the ark," replied his lordship, with a nainful disreeard of the truth. "Ob, are you Noah ?" "No." "Are you Sbem, then ?" "No, I am not Shem." "Are you Ham ?" "No." "Then," said the little one, who was fast nearing the limit of her Biblical knowledge, "you must be Japhet." A negative reply was given to this query, also, for the old gentleman inwardly wondered what the outcome would be. "But, grandpa, if you are not Noah, or Shem, or Ham, or Japhet, you must be a beast.?Home Magazine. Proper Pride.?Apropos of the proposed "Anglo-American alliance," the story of Horace Greeley's neat rebuke of the Englishman who once agreed with him too literally may be worth telling. Mr. Greeley was discussing, in a general company, the faults and needs of his own nation. "What this country needs," said he, in his piping voice and Yankee accent, "is a real good licking !" It happened that there was an Englishman present, and be promptly said, with unmistakable English accent : "Quite right, Mr. Greeley, quite right. The country needs a licking." But Mr. Greeley, without glancing in the Englishman's direction, or seeming to pay any attention to the interruption, went on in the same squeakytone : " JDUt I Lit?

Mills, of Blacksiock, left yesterday morning for California, where he expects to remain for the present at least. His two sons have been there for sometime. The remainder of bis family will probably go later on. A tractlo ivns rennrted burned OD the 14 MVw%,v - ~r - L. & C. last Friday, but it was a small matter and soon repaired. A tie in another trestle caught fire the same evening, but was put out without damage. The session of the Lowryville school which closed Friday was a very successful one, judging from the opinions of patrons, as expressed during the year, and other informatrou that is reliable. The success that we speak of now is not so much numerical and financial, as educational. It is our impression that excellent work has been done. We are glad to know that Mr. Dobson is expected to continue in charge of the school next year. Miss Witherspoon, his assistant, I has been elected to a position in the! Yorkville public school. The York-| ville and Chester teams played herel Friday afternoon. The Chester boysi had it pretty much their own way through eight innings, when their pitcher gave down and they had no substitute that they could put in. During the ninth inning they were helpless, and the Yorkville boys had nothing to do but knock their balls out of sight and trot around bases, which they did 22 times in that one : kn/I mn/4 a nriltr ni no in luuiu^, lurj uau ujouw vuij uiuv iu all the other innings, while the Chester team made about twice that number. South Carolina has been divided into seven census districts, for convenience in taking the census of 1900. By agreement of our senators and representatives, the appointments in two of these districts will be given to the Republicans, and in the other five to the Democrats. Mr. T. J. Cunningham has been appointed supervisor of the Fifth census district, which, by the way, does not coincide with the Fifth congressional district, but is composed of the counties of Union, York, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster and Chesterfield. . CHEROKEE?The Gaffiiey Ledger, July 20: Mrs. John W. Ross, one of the oldest and most highly respected women in Cherokee county, died at her borne on Cherokee creek, about three miles north of Gaffuey, on Saturday, the 17th inst., at 9 o'clock in the evening, in ber 79th year. Mrs. Ross was horn and raised on the York side of Broad river, and was the daughter of the late Jacob B. Moore, who was widely and well known in this section in his day, and is now well remembered by our older citizens. She was married in ber young womanhood to the late Captain John W. Ross, so well and favorably known to us all and who preceded her to the grave less than two years ago. She was the mother of 11 children, all of whom lived to be grown except one, who died in early childhood. Her oldest son, William Ross, was killed in the front ranks of the Confederate army while nobly doing his duty in the Seven Days' Fight Around Richmond in 1862. Her life was devoted to her God, her domestic duties and the tender care of her devoted children, who she always treated, eyen in her last years and their grown up days, as children needing her care and attention ; and her fond children all humored her in the whims of old age and treated her with the tenderness of childhood which she had so faithfully administered to tbem in their infancy. The surviving children of Mrs. Ross are Captain J. B. Ross, ex-sheriff" of Cherokee county ; John W. Ross, Jr., M. L. Ross, of Shelby, N. C.; L. R. Ross, \V. H. Ross, Mrs. Carrie Holcomb, Mrs. Janie Gaffnev and Mrs. Mary Hamilton, all of whom are worthy citizens of honored parents of whom any county may be justly proud. Last Friday night about 1 o'clock the burglars commenced work in Gafluey by hreaking out a large glass in oue of Walter Baker's store windows on Limestone street. Rowland Gaines, wbo was sleeping in the store, was awakened by the noise, and getting bis pistol, went from his bed room to the store room and found a Negro crouched behind the counter striking matches, by which he was taking in his bear.ngs. As soon as the Negro uncovered himself enough, Rowland fired on him, but missed his aim. The Negro made for the opening he had made in the window and was shot at again by Rowland, which also went wide of the mark aud the Negro made good his escape. The same night someone broke into the post< ffice, also on Limestone street and just opposite to Walter Baker's store. The entrance to the postoffice through the money order window and from the! fact that the office clock, which runs well, was stopped at 20 minutes before 1, it is thought that the same party put up both jobs. While in the postoffice the burglar broke open several drawers hut did not interfere with any mail matter and only took forty or fifty cents in change from the stamp drawer. There is no clue to the identity of the burglar but it is hoped that he may be caught. The occurrence, however, will put city officers on the lookout and afford and opportunity for good detective work. Court convened yesterday morning, Judge Watts presiding, with only the local bar present. The grand and petit jurors answered promptly to their name. Judge Watt's charge to the grand jury was short, clear and concise. In the absence of Solicitor Henry, Colonel T. B. Butler represented the state until the solicitor arrived at 11 o'clock. Stenographer McCaw also arrived at 11 o'clock. A number of bills were handed to the grand jury and true bills were found in most cases ; but in the case of Rich White, for mortgaging a mule that belonged to another, no bill was found. Lonzo Smith was found not guilty of resisting an officer, and Hamlet Littlejohn, colored plead guilty to burglary and was sentenced to uine months on the county chain gaug. A sealed sentence from Judge Gary against Cofer Smith for assault and battery was opened and read to defendant, which gave bim ihree mouth's on the county chaiugang or a fine of fifty dollars. Benjamin Sams, a white man, was couvicted, in his absence, of selling a mule upon which he had given a mortgage aud a sealed sentence aguinst bim was left with the clerk. The grand jury returned a true bill in the case of , the stale vs. Mason W. Smith for manslaughter. Munro and Bell, Butler , aud Osborne aud Judge J. E. Webster , appeared for the defence and the case was laid over till today on accouutof j the forced absence of Mr. Munro, the chief counsel. It will come up today | and the trial will be proceeded with or a day set for it at this term of the court. ( True bills were found by the grand j jury against Cal. Tate and Jim Tate, j both colored, for arson. The work of < the court was somewhat impeded by , the grand jury bringing in bills slowly , but the grand jury is a most excellent | one and will give all matters coming ; before it due consideration. Major , John F. Jones, of Blacksburg, was in , the city yesterday. Major Jones has ( just returned home from an extensive | trip to New England. Mr. T. J. Stacy would like information concern- j ing his 14-year old son, Roland, who , left home last Wednesday afternoon ( without his father's consent. Mr. { Stacv has no tidings of his where- , abouts and is uneasy about bim. When Roland left home be wore no coat, had on a striped pair of knee pants, shoes and stockings and a straw bat. Any information will be thankfully received by Mr. Stacy, whose postoffice address is Gaffney, S. C. LANCASTER?Ledger, June 21: Contractor W. S. Langley has the contract for rebuilding the L. & C. depot recently burned at this place. The work will be commenced at an early date. The depot will be about the style and dimensions of the one burned, except that the passenger waiting rooms will open on Main street. Conductor McCrorey and Mr. Chas. E. Carter returned from their trip through western North Carolina yesterday, | having enjoyed their trip immensely. Jim Barnes, colored, was sent to the chaingang Monday for 30 days. He was convicted before Magistrate Caskey for violating laborer's contract. J. W. Walters, of Tradesville, brought us a cotton boll yesterday which was plucked on the 13th. He says he has plenty of cotton now with two and three bolls to the stalk. Mr. Spurgeon Cherry exhibited a curiosity in the way of a rat to the editor a few days ago. It was a rat in everything except that it had the ( head and color of a lealherwing bat t and made a noise like a bat. r GASTON?Gastonia Gazette, June j June 22 : In this section the ground ? has not been wet since the 10th of \ May. Early this (Wednesday) morn- ] ing, Mr. Anderson Davis saw liis sign ( of rain?saw the clouds in the east \ redden and fade again. He says when { that happens, water is mightly apt to ( fall that day. By the time our readers t see this they will know how well the j sign hit or missed. Esquire A. f C. St roup is short some $15 or $16 ^ owing to an unexpected visit from a c rather officious thief last Monday t night. He came in after midnight s through the front door, which was un- [ locked, swiped the pants from a chair t within five feet of thesleeping owner's ( bed, uulocked the back door, rifled the ] pockets, threw the pants aside in the ] back yard, immediately sought a N change of climate and environment, j Nothing else was missed. Matches \ different from those used in Mr. j Stroup's household were found at two a or three different places around the j house. The following interesting j item was sent us by our Mt. Holly cor- v respondent: Ex-Mayor Bowman, who r runs a livery stable here, hired a team j to some parties, (who, it is reported, had on board more "korn linker," than they could digest and at the same time keep in the middle of the road,) who S drove the horse most to death and made a total wreck of the vehicle. After the parties returned, Mr. Bow- r man was so mad that he took the whip \ which had been used with such deadly f effect upon the faithful horse and pour- c nA nut ft {rood Dortion of his wrath J upon the back of the violators to the t extent that it is very uncomfortable \ for them to either walk about or sit ( down. A party of capitalists, f Messrs. Caruthers, Tate and Fisher, r from Jackson, Tenn., were in town Tuesday to see Gastonia's cotton mills. 1 They had been piloted over from Char- 1 lotle by S. W. Cramer and were here 1 taken in charge by Captain J. I). Moore t and Mr. G. A. Gray. Having seen i elsewhere the big mills which pay ( small dividends they come over to Gas- i tonia to see the smaller mills which $ pay big dividends. These Jackson t capitalists are thinking of going into j the mill business at home, and declared i on leaving that they had got more in- ] formation in Gastonia than any place t they had visited on their tour. In i a hot game of ball on the King's Moun- t tain diamond last Monday afternoon j Gastonia lost to her neighbors on a I score of 16 to 4. King's Mountain i played a clean snappy game through- t out. The inequality between the i teams was most marked in the fielding.

Wyatt, catcher, < and Query, first base, were almost I flawless in their work. Ragan:s forte i as pitcher seems to be steam and en- i durance; his balls puzzled the un- 1 practised players, but were found well I enough by the regulars. In the Gas- | tonia team some excellent batting was done, but it counted nothing in a field i full of tarbuckets. Our boys were not ' . in good practice, several were "raw recruits" and the team work, of course, could not have been what it ought to have been. About two dozen of us went along to root for Gastonia and we shouted to the last that our boys would make 25 runs. They did, but 'twas after balls the other fellows batted. During the week just past, Gastonia has had the unusual experience of a defalcation by one of her business men, and we hope that in the town's history such experiences may always be unusual. Many sensational stories, however, have been afloat, and we will seek to state in a few words the essential facts in the case. Not satisfled with the bookkeeping of Mr. W. M. Jones as secretary and treasurer of the Beal Manufacturing company, some of the directors made an investigation week before last. They found irregularities indicating not ouly bad bookkeeping, but a shortage of a few hundred dollars, and told Mr. Jones what tbey bad found. He admitted SlDg S0IB6 UI IliO uuiii/Ci li o uiuuvj from time to time, gave the directors from Friday to Monday morning to estimate the shortage, agreeing to inakeitgood. They first thought $500 would cover, but later named $600 as the amount that would satisfy them. Mr. Jones paid the $600 in full, took a clear receipt for all claims to date signed by the directors of the company, resigned, and went home. As the nooks were further examined, the wildest rumors went about the "stock paying 50 cents on the dollar" and ibout it "going into the hands of a receiver"?"shortage running into thousands." Some of the directors grew nervous. Hearing that Mr. Jones was ntending to take his family to the mountains Saturday, Mr. Beal swore nut a warrant for Mr. Jones on SaturJay morning. But Mr. Jones had jone the evening before. Mrs. Jones, ntending to join him on the Narrow 3auge Saturday morning, decided not ,o go, uuder the circumstances. Mr. W. N. Davis was elected as secretary ind treasurer. He asked Mr. L. G. Dathey as a disinterested party to bal?nce the ledger. In going over the nooks Mr. Cathey found errors both in avor of and agaiDSt Mr. Jones. We isked Mr. Cathey : "How much is .beshortage?" He said : "Nobody can tell from the books." Yesterday ifternoon we called upon Mr. Neil Davis at the company's office and asked the same questiou. To this he gave ,be same answer. We further asked Mr. Davis : "Would you take 50 cents >n the dollar for your stock ?" "No," i J ? le answered promptly, "i wouia 001, or, to be honest with you, the matter s not as bad as we odco thought it vas." "Will the $600 paid by Mr. Tones cover this shortage in full," ,ve asked. "I don't know," was Mr. Davis's answer, "I have no way to .ell." Mr. Jones told his friends that he $600 would cover and more than :over his entire shortuge. The )oys set out for a good time last Tuesday morning and we sincerely tope they'll have it. It was just the lort of crowd to give dull times the tlack eye. They were going to NinetyS"ine islands, alias "Thousand" islands >f Broad river, 8 miles below Blacks>urg. They were equipped with three ,ents, two stoves, eooking utensils, two >r three seins, 400 pounds of ice, and he other necessary appurtances and tarapbenalia for the old-fashioned rolic out of doors. A string of bugpes and covered wagons formed the :aravan which rolled out of town ;arly Tuesday morning.

It is regarded as a conservative estinate says a Washington dispatch of Wednesday that the treasury deficit or the fiscal year of 1898-1899 which :loses 10 days hence, will be less than *100,000,000. Already the receipts of he year aggregate over $498,800,000 vith the expenditures barely $100,100,000 more, with 10 days, judging rom past years, of abnormally heavy eceipts, yet to he accounted for. During the yeur there have been two leavy calls upon the treasury and the arge payment which could not have >eeu foreseen one year ago. In March he government received $11,798,314 >n account of the settlement of its ilaims against the Central Pacific Railway company. During the same month ?3,000,000 was drawn out to pay off he Cuban insurgent army, and in \pril $20,0000,000 was paid to Spain n settlement of treaty obligations. Leaving these three items out of the iccount, the deficit this year would iot have exceeded $89,000,000. Up o this date the customs receipts imount to over $200,400,000; from inernal revenue $263,550,000 was realzed, and from miscellaneous sources ;here was received $35,500,000. Dur .

The total receipts from all sources amounted to $405,321,335, while the expenditures aggregated $443,368,582, leaving l deficit of $38,047,247. This year [he expenditures will exceed those of last year by about $165,000,000 while the deficit will be about $62,000,000 greater than last year. From the closest calculation that can now be made the war revenue act, which, with the exceptions of a few items, weut into effect July 1, 1S98, will realize for the year a little less than $100,000,000. The receipts from tobacco alone will probably show an increase of over $15,000,000; spirits, an increase of $6,500,000; beer and other fermented liquors, au increase of over $28,000,000; oleomargerine, an increase of about $585,000, and the receipts from the special taxes, documentary and proprietary stamps for the year will likely bring the increased | receipts on account of the war revenue act up to neariy $100,000,000. The two items iu that act which have produced more thau 10 times as much revenue as any two other are those reluting to documentary and proprietary stumps. On April 30 last these items had produced over $36,500,000, and it is not improbable that by July 1, that amount will be increased to over $44,AAA AAA T'U,.

The receipts from customs show a gratifying increase. For the month of November last year the customs yielded $15,335,000 and for the followiug five mouths there was a gradual iucrease until March which produced nearly $21,000,000. Of late there has been a slight falling off. The expenditures up to this time aggregate about $600,0t)0,000. Of this amount $228,000,000 was paid out on requisitions from the war department; $54,000,000 on account of the navy ; $139,000,000 on account of pensions; and nearly $40,000,000 of interest on the public debt; $12,675,000 was paid to the Indians and $117,290,000 was disbursed on civil and miscellaneous account.

This includes the payment of $20,000,000 to Spain ; the $3,000,000 now being disbursed to the Cuban troops, and the interest charge on the loan made necessary for the war. A calculation has been made at the treasury which shows that leaving out of the account the $230,000,000 expended this year on account of the war ; the $100,000,000 produced by the war revenue act, and the $11,789,314 received from the Central Pacific railroad, the figures would show a surplus for the year approximating $20,000,000. UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION. Why does a sober and sedate city gentleman start hatless to his place of busiuess ? Why should one of the most dignified and serious-minded of women go down town with her dress skirt on wrong side out ? It is hard to say, but one can readily imagine the dismay of the poor lady when a friend met ner ana cauea ner uueuuuu iu the spectacle she was making of herself. A Cambridge professor, whose fits of meutal aberration were as frequent as they were amusing, was one day out in a heavy rain, with bis umbrella held high over his.head, when he met a friend who stopped bim and exclaimed : "Dear me, Professor M., why don't you put up your umbrella? You'll be drenched." "Put up my umbrella?" said the professor. "It is up." For half an hour, more or less, the professor bad been walking the streets with a closed umbrella held above his bead. At another time the same scholar was riding down town in an electric car, and lost himself in a book he was reading. Suddenly he noticed symptoms of merriment among the other passengers. What could they be laughing at? The mystery was explained when he discovered that, having been annoyed by something between the plate of his artificial teeth aud the roof of his mouth, he had removed bis teeth and was holding them up to view between the thumb aud finger of his hand ! Still more embarrussiog was the case of a lady who hurried into church one Sunday morning without her bonnet, and when reminded of the omission by her husband, who had preceded her by several minutes, rose hastily and hurried up the broad aisle with a large red parasol raised and held close to , her head! Judge B., than whom there never was a more sedate and dignified man, once appeared at a dinner party with his handsome white wig on wrong side out! The story is not a new one of the college piofessor who stumbled against , a cow, and lifting his hat, said, grave- < ly: "I beg your pardon, madam." Mrs. L., a Boston lady of a dignified and even haughty manner, was trying on some very expensive wraps in a j suit aud cloak store, when she said to the clerk: "I do not think I will decide on one today."
