It happened at a little railway statioa in ( Germany, Gruenwald by name, while the man who tells about it was wait- , ing for a train on a branch line which connects with the main line at that . place. Besides himself there were at ] the station a party of American tourists of the kind you read about in English books and an English family of the ' i' kind you read about in American ' books. The Americans were loud voiced and ungrammatical. They all < laughed a great deal and they ate 1 peaches, the stones of which they threw at a post to test their marks- 1 TViav mora rvoranna fnr whom i lliaiiouip. AUVj trw*v |/v>ww?M -- ?? Uncle Sam himself would have felt 1 apologetic, and they displeased the haughty British materiamilias greatly. To the younger members of her family, a gawky boy and a lanky and "leggy" girl of the typical elongated English variety?they were objects of great interest, however, and the girl in particular edged nearer and nearer, to her mother's great disgust. At last she was so near that mamma could endure it no longer. "Clara!" she called in her loudest voice, "come away at once. You might be mistaken for one of those disgusting Americans!" .A pretty young American looked up and swept Clara from head to foot with a calm glance. Then she went on eating peaches. * "Don't worry, madam," she called out cheerily. "There's no danger of that?with them feet!"?Washington Post. * Didn't Look Like Chicken.?"Now, then, I've caught you in the act!" exclaimed the policeman as he came upon a colored man who was just coming out of a valley at midnight with something in a bag. "Yes, sah, you've got me," was the reply. "I've been laying for you for a dozen nights past and here you are at last. How many you got in the bag?" "Only one, sah." "Got a tooth for chicken, eh?" "Yes, sah; drefful fond o' chicken, sah. But de price is awful high dis winter." < "We'll see about the price. Anyone with you?" "No, sah." "Got scared before you filled the bag, eh? Well come along with me." "I'm going to ring up the wagon and have you taken in. The judge will put you where you won't taste chicken again for three months. Where did you get It?" "De chicken, sah?" "Yes." "Hain't got none, boss. I dun told yo' de price was so high dis winter dat I couldn't afford chicken." "So you don't call this chicken?" exclaimed the officer, as he reached for the bag and shook the contents out on the walk. "No, sah," replied the man, as a big Kinrtlr on/1 TifKtto not nroa HiimnoH nilt 1 with a yeowl and ran up the officer's . body to his head and sprang into the limbs of a shade tree. "No, sah," he went on, as he reached for the bag and folded it up. "No, sah; dat ain't no chicken; but an ole cat dat I was carryin* off to git losted. Can't dun make out, sah, how you calls dat a chicken, but if you sez so I hain't gwine to dispute it. As I told you befo'?" But the officer raised him one and ordered him to move on.?Chicago Daily News. The Court Needed Posting.?A trial was progressing at the city hall police court when the judge espied, in a group of young girls mingling in the large audience, a delinquent witness whom it was urgent he Interview. "Mr. Marshall," his honor exclaimed, "have that yoqng lady step here." "Which young lady, your honor?" "I don't know her name?the one with the light straw hat and dark skirt," the court added. The clew was insufficient. "What kind of waist?" inquired the marshal. "Ruffle on sleeves and trimmed with er?the usual sort of what d'you call em," said the court. "I understand. You mean leg of mutton sleeves, with?er?what's his name attachments." replied the marshal in the faint hope of striking the technical term. "No; not exactly," said the judge. "Would you recognize an empire gown if you saw one, Mr. Marshal?" "Upon oath, no; I wouldn't swear to it." "Well, I know It wasn't an empire . gown or a Mother Hubbard. I don't think you understand much about female apparel." 1 But here the young lady generously stepped forward, while a little boy laughed, and the marshal threatened to send him to the penitentiary for life.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch. , There is a professor in a certain educational institution in town who has a reputation, in his own mind, and with many other minds as well, of always being right. Not long ago a student in writing an essay spelled a word as the professor said, incorrectly. The professor called the student to the desk and said, "How did you spell this word?" "As it is spelled on the paper," said the young man. "It is not right." "I think it is," said the student. "You are mistaken," said the professor. "Consult Webster." The young man hunted up the word in the dictionary. "What do you find?" asked the professor. "I find," said the young man, "that Webster has made the same mistake I did."?Topeka State Journal. She Was Satisfied.?A woman entered the elevator at the district govern ment building yesterday and said to the boy in charge: 'I want to see a gentleman in this building. I do not remember his name and I do not know where he works. Perhaps you can help me find him." , "There is no use looking for him," replied the boy, "he has just gone out." "Oh, thank you." said the woman absently, "I am sorry; but tell him I will come again."?Chicago Record. Hard Luck.?Jimmy?What did yer get on yer birthday? Jakey?Nothin'!

For instance, the freight receipts for one year ending October 3i, 1890, were $85,000; for one year, ending October 31, 1900, the receipts were $207,248. The postofflce receipts also show more than 100 per cent, increase. For one year, ending March 1, 1890, the receipts were $3,115.32; for one year, ending March 1, 1900, the receipts were $7,668.29. The committee also ascertained the amount Invested in manufacturing business in Rock Hill, which is $965,000. The annual pay roll of the different plants, $235,000; total amount invested in mercantile, and other interests, $3,405,000. With this data the committee will be able to show Mr. St. John that Rock Hill is something more than an ordinary "turn out," and that it will pay the Seaboard to run its rails into this thriving, pushing, energetic city.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. N. McLauchlln this morning at the residence, and the remains were buried in Eve%reen cemetery. The deceased suffered for a few days with an attack of grip, which affected his heart. We believe he was not considered dangerously sick till the day before his death, and many did not know he was sick till they heard that he was dead. We judge that he was about 62 years old. We think he was a member of the class in Erskine college that enlisted in the Confederate service a short time before the course was completed, but were afterward given their diplomas. He served in the 23d regiment. After the war he taught successfully for a number of years, most of the time at Old Purity, where he prepared young men for college. In 1880, perhaps, he was elected county school commissioner, and served two terms. He has been a member of the county school board for 20 years, except a short interval after his last term as commissioner, and his services and counsels were highly valued by the uiner meinoers 01 me uuaru. mr. namilton was an elder In Purity Presbyterian church, having been transferred from Pleasant Grove, where he was elected to that office, and was also superintendent of the Sabbath school, and, as a friend remarked this morning, "about everything else that could be put on him." He has been a resident of this city for 18 or more years, and was a member of the council for some years. He is well known to the people of this county in connection with the book and stationery business. Mr. Hamilton married Miss Mary Hindman, of this county, and was the father of five daughters and four sons, all living except the oldest son. The oldest daughter is perhaps 10 or 12 years old. Mr. Hamilton was pre-eminently a safe man, not only on account of his conservatism, but above all because he could always be relied upon with absolute confidence to be on the right side of every moral question. YORK MEN IN FLORIDA. One of Them Tells of a Visit to Mr. Thornasson's Orange Grove. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enaulrer. Tampa, Florida, November 21.?Having received a cordial invitation from Mr. John T. Thomasson to visit his orange groves, near Riverside, in this county, about 13 miles from the city, I took advantage of the "Indian Summer" weather on last Sunday, November 18th, accompanied by Mr. J. Humbert Ferguson, a former South Carolinian, and drove to Mr. Thomasson's. On the way to Mr. Thomasson's there were many things that would prove interesting to the average individual passing over the route for the first time. Six miles from Tampa, there is a kind of picnic ground called "Six Mile Creek." It is a very pretty place, or would be considered so were It located in York county; but there are so many places suitable for outdoor pleasures located all over the county of Hillsborough, "Six Mile Creek" Is just one of the hundred like places. Leaving this pretty place, the tourists (I will call ourselves "tourists" for this trip), go out Into a lowland and also woodland (pine predominates) which Is conT tlnuous until within a half or quarter of a mile of'Mr. Thomasson's residence. Between "Six Mile Creek" and our destination, a distance of about 8 miles, we came in sight of one residence, and it was about a quarter of mile off the road. From the buggy we could see the Florida "razor back" hogs, all brands, moving about over the woodland and rooting among the palmetto bushes. The palmetto, from which South Carolina get its nickname, grows all over Florida In great abundance. We could also see from the buggy that there are much turpentine interests in the section through which we passed. There were thousands of trees that had been boxed and peeled, so tfrat the sap and rosin would be ready for the stills when it was wanted by the operators. The boxes or troughs are cut with an axe made especially for the nurDose. and are about 3 or 4 Inches deep, and about two inches wide at the bottom. We also saw a large coal kiln, where they were preparing to make charcoal for the local blacksmiths. I heard the sound of an axe on this beautiful Sunday morning, and asked what it meant. I received the reply, promptly from Mr. Thomasson. He said: "Oh! that is a Seventh Day Adventist; he kept Sunday yesterday." In passing to the next item I might say that Sunday is the hunting day for the sports of this section, including Tampa, and when one goes outside the city limits, he can hear guns popping away almost like a sham battle. People in this county who have to work all week, "don't see no harm in shootin' on Sunday." Now, I will come to the part that may prove interesting to The Enquirer's readers in York. As we drove up, we saw Mr. John Thomasson sitting on the front piazza of his residence eating oranges. I, for my part, was a little surprised at this, for, being a greenhorn, I didn't think one who raised oranges would care to eat them very extensively. "How many do you eat a day?" I asked, and he said, "Oh, two and sometimes three dozen a day. No matter how many one eats, they do no? injure him; but they are good for an appetizer. Help yourself!" I accepted the invitation and ate a few which were on top of a basket in the front porch. After we had put the horse in the stable and had sat down awhile, we accepted an invitation from Mr. Thomasson to go out and see one of his orange groves. At this season the fruit is ripe and beautiful. The oranges on the trees looked like gold shining in the sun. There were about 90 trees in this grove, and about 75 of them were full of fruit. Mr. Thomasson says that there are about 300 or 350 boxes of oranges in this grove. When we were fairly into the grove, we received another invitation to "help yourselves." We did so with much delicacy (?) After we had taken in this grrove, we strolled back to the house, and found Mr. M. L. Thomasson, who had just come in from a ride over the place. When he saw me he said: "Did you bring me an Enquirer? How are you?" I told him that The Enquirer hadn't arrived when I left Tampa, and I didn't get it. He said, "Well, why didn't you bring the last one you received. I haven't seen it?" Mr. Thomasson, Sr., lirs. Thomasson and their little daughter, arrfved from Yorkvllle last week, and expect to spend a two months' visit with Mr. John T. Thomasson and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hamel. Mr. Hamel is the owner of a fine orange grrove and lives about half a mile from Mr. Thomasson. At the suggestion of Mr. John Thomasson, we went over to one of his other groves and here we found one of the prettiest sights in Florida. The trees were heavily loaded with fruit, so much so that some of them had to have props under almost all the large limbs. I was informed that some of the trees had as many as fifteen boxes of fruit on them, so one can see from this that they were loaded down. Orange trees have to be cultivated just as much as does cotton. In the spring the grove is plowed and fertilized, and this is repeated in June when it gets its last plowing. I asked Mr. Thomasson how he managed to keep the cold out'in winter. "There is no occasion for an orange grove to freeze if the proprietor Is careful," said he; "now last winter I 'fired' this grove three times. 'Firing' a grove simply means that I put fires among the trees so as to give them an artificial warmth. I saved all my trees." It having reached the hour of 12 m., we decided to go back to the house, a mile distant, where, on arriving, we found an excellent dinner awaiting us. Mrs. Thomasson had prepared it in such a manner as is only known to the South Carolina housekeeper, where the best of everything comes from. We are both under many obligations to Mrs. Thomasson and to Messrs. M. L. and John T. Thomasson, for the delightful and instructive visit we spent with them. Such a trip as this is not easily forgotten. Leaving our kind friends about 4 o'clock we drove back to Tampa, meeting no one on the way until within six miles of the city. Having taken up more space than I had intended, I will close for this time. Hoping this may interest the many readers, I am very truly, Reg M. Grist. Southern Wealth in Cotton.?The South's cotton crop this year will be worth from $450,000,000 to $500,000,000, against an average of $300,000,000 of late years, an increase of from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. Including the seed the value of the cotton crop will exceed $500,000,000. Southern mills will consume probably 1,750,000 bales, against 1,500,000 bales last year. This cotton, which will cost Southern mills about $75,000,000 or $80,000,000, will, in its manufactured shape, 1 a.1 ?nrtr AAA AAA 4-Vtna oe worm more man ^^^o.uuv.uuv, wiuo adding $150,000,000 in the process of manufacture.
