^tumorous department. A Meek Attorney's Plea. f W. B. Moore, of Somerset, was a man possessed of rare good sense, and was one of the wittiest lawyers who L ever appeared before the Kentucky bar. Judge Bramlette was a very high-tempered man and unusually so- ^ vere on lawyers whom he did not like. Colonel Sherrod Williams, who was practicing law at Somerset, had at one time practiced in Louisville, and was much in the habit, when arguing ' a case before Judge Bramlette, of referring to some case as having been f hv tho T,nnisville chancery ^ court. This always riled the judge, 1 and caused him to frequently remark J that he was not bound by the decision ^ of that judge. t One morning he overruled a motion i of Mr. Williams for a new trial, in t which motion Williams had referred to a decision of the Louisville chancery ? court. Williams rose to his feet and J said to the clerk: "Give me an exception to that Judg- t ment and an appeal to the court of B appeals, where I may obtain the de- \ cision of a court that knows some- t thing." g The judge colored with indignation * and fined Mr. Williams $20 for con- c tempt. g The next case he decided was the e overruling of another motion for a T new trial made by W. B. Moore. Af- I ter the judge had announced his de- li cision Mr. Moore arose with modesty t approaching humility. ? "If your honor please," he said very meekly, "will you give me an exception and an appeal in that case to c the court of appeals? I do not ask t this because I think your honor has r erred, but because I hope the court of t appeals may."?Governor W. O. Brad- 1 ley's Stories of Kentucky Life. P E 0 Concerned About Friends.?Ex- v Senator Hill was approached the oth- s er day by a Democrat who was indig- ' nant over Governor Odell's policy re- ^ garding the lunatic asylums. He said he thought the Democratic party 0 ought to condemn Governor Odell for ? the change in management of the e state asplums which he had succeed- b ed in bringing about. "Oh, I don't think we need worry D so very much over that," said Mr. j1 Hill facetiously. "My personal opin- t, ion is that most of the inmates of 0 those institutions belong to the oppo- p site party. Now, if it had been the C penitentiaries which Governor Odell a was seeking to have managed under a new system," continued the ex-sen- a ator, with a merry twinkle "three j might be more reason for Democratic g concern, for I recall the story of a j Democratic district attorney of New c York who, in passing Sing Sing, when t asked by a fellow-passenger what that c great pile of white stone buildings j] was replied: 'That is Sing Sing, J; where most of my tried friends re- j side.' "?New York Times. ^ Exhorbitant Doctor Fees.?Jus- a tice Miller, of the supreme court, be- 0 fore hp rpad law. was a doctor and ? bears the reputation of having been a good one. On one occasion he presented an account to an old neighbor for payment. The bill, among other items, contained three for visits at $1 each. His patient seriously objected to these charges, saying: "Now, doctor, you ought to be ashamed to charge me for them visits when you know that my family returned every one of them." The same patient presented himself afterwards to have a tooth pulled. In this the Judge was an expert and drew the aching molar in a minute. For his services he charged $1. The patient denounced the charges as ex- ; horbltant. "Why, doctor," he said, "you pulled that tooth in a minute and now you want a dollar, when old Dr. Sternberg pulled one for me for an hour last fall, and pulled me all over the floor, and only charged me a dollar."?Governor W. O. Bradley's Stories of Kentucky Life. He Agreed.?An amusing incident occurred the other afternoon in a gentleman's outfitting shop in New street, Birmingham, when a customer came to purchase a hat. He tried on several and was evidently hard to please, the counter becoming covered with the rejected. At last the salesman picked up a brown felt bowler, brushed it round with his arm and extended it admiringly. "These are being much worn this season, sir," he explained. "Are they?" said the customer thoughtfully surveying himself in the mirror, with the hat on his head. "Do you think it suits me?" "Suits you to perfection, sir?if the *>5 rrVi * " i Ill O UfelU. "Yes, it fits very well. So you think I had better have it?" "I don't think you could do better, sir." "No, I don't think I could, so I won't have a new one." The salesman had been pushing the old hat.?Spare Moments. Not His Fault at All.?They were quite newly married, and she was much too young to understand that a man takes little interest in shopping expeditions. She had left his side to look in a window in which were exhibited some winter mantles which were "just lovely." When she returned, she took the arm which seemed to be half grudgingly proffered and sobbed: "You don't even lo-look at anything. I want you to?to see. You do?don't care how I am dressed. You no longer lo-love me. You haven't even kerkissed me for a whole day, any you"? "I am extremely sorry, madam, but that is my misfortune, not my fault," said the gentleman, looking pathetically down into her face. j>ne looKeu at mm ana gaspeu. ?>ne had taken the arm of the wrong man. 1 ?Stray Stories. : , , . i x*':: It happened during a political campaign.

The Revised Version says that ' le laid waste the church, but our Lord lad said, "The gates of hell shall not >revail against it" (Matt, xvi, 18). So * hat this imprisonment of Christians and ' >ower of Saul and the authorities over ] hem did not really hurt the church any ] uore than the fiery furnace or the lions lurt Daniel and his friends. 4. "Therefore they that were scattered . ibroad went everywhere preaching the void." So the disciples could say to 1 Saul and his company as Joseph said to 1 lis brethren, "Ye thought evil against 1 ne, but God meant it unto good to save < nuch people alive" (Gen. 1, 20). When ( re are persecuted and in the midst of , rial, it seems very difficult to see any , :ood in it, and not to see our persecutors, , ?ut faith sees only God and is quiet be- ' ause He controls all people and all ! vents. These scattered preachers of 1 ;ood tidings were not the apostles, but all < xcept the apostles (verse 1), and they ] rere just the Lord's messengers with the >] ?rd's message (Hag. i, 13). If all be- ] levers now were ready to tell to others . he love and grace of God, telling His nlvation from day to day (Ps. lxxi, 15, ' A), how soon the gospel might be preach- 1 d to every creature! < 5-8. "Then Philip went down to the 1 ity of Samaria and preached Christ unto < hem." Philip wus the second of the ( even who had been appointed to minister i o the needy in things temporal, mid now hat Stephen had been so honored and iromoted he is also honored as the Lord's \ J uessenger. If we are content to do th^1 rdinary work of the daily life, the Lortf i rill in His own time lead us into greater 1 ervice. Very helpful words on this are ] ound in II Sam. xv, 15; I Chron. xxviii, ( I. In verses 4, 12, 25 we get a good ^ lea of the preaching of those days. They ireached Christ; they preached the word f the Lord and the things concerning ' he kingdom of God. As Philip preach- 1 d the Lord wrought with and through 1 iiin, confirming the word with signs fol- 1 awing (Mark xvi, 20), and, seeing the < piracies and hearing the message, the eople with one accord gave heed, and here was great joy in that city. Whether ' he messenger be the woman of Samaria 1 r Philip the evangelist, if Christ is 1 ireached the Spirit works, and whenever j Christ is truly received there follows joy j nd peace (Ps. xv, 13). , 9, 10. The adversary who opposes God j nd exalts himself is always to the front ver since he slandered God to Eve in Uden. He is seen in the willfulness and 1 elf assertion of Cain, in the endeavor of * he Babel builders to make themselves a 1 lame and in all who oppose themselves ] 0 God and His truth from Cain to the , me who shall exalt himself and magnify limself above every god, so that he, as Jod, shall sit in the temple of God show- J ng himself that he is God (Dan. xi, 30; '' 1 Thess. ii, 4). This Simon, like Theu- 1 las of chapter v, 30, was just one of ] he great host who magnify themselves j md always find a following. As I write < i man in Ctiicago, whom many follow ( md who seems to preach the gospel, has ( ust given out that he is Elijah. And so t goes and will till Jesus comes. II, 12. Bewitching people with sorcery ( night possibly describe many of the < eachings of today which captivate such 3 nultitudes. A great following is not j ufficient proof that the leader is right, ( lor are few followers necessarily an evi- ; lence that the leader is wrong. 13. "Simon himself believed also, was >aptized, continued with Philip and won- 1 lered, beholding the miracles ana signs.' L'he power of God is able to break the < lardest heart, and the fact that Simon 1 vas baptized and continued with Philip ; ifter he believed would seem to indicate , i real conversion. The sequel in verses 18 to 24 may indicate, however, that Simon had not truly received the Lord ; Tesus, or they may mean that he was lot right in the matter of the gift of the Spirit. If he had no part in Christ, he ?rtainly was not saved, but if Peter neant that he had no part in this gift of , he Holy Spirit he was just in the condi- , ion in which mqst church members are, ind it may hft e been in reference to terving God that his heart was not right. Simon the sorcerer is not a comfortable itudy. There is much of himself from irst to last and little, if any, of Christ i ?ven after he believed. ( 14. "Now, when the apostles which vere at Jerusalem heard that Samaria ] iad received the word of God, they sent into them Peter and John." These two vho are so prominent in the early chap- J ers are still evidently the foremost imong the apostles and specially honored >y the others. Notice what it was the leople of Samaria had received. They iad received the word of God, and, like he Thessalonians, they doubtless received it, not as the word of men, but as it s in truth, the word of God, which ef.'ectually worketh in those who believe I Thess. ii, 13). Our Lord Himself said :o Ilis Father on the night before 'His irucifision, "I have given unto them the vords which Thou gavest Me, and they lave received them" (John xvii, 8). We ;ive our Lord pleasure when we receive His word. It Is to be received with or?/? thftn Kftlil flicf fl nrl hpM iicvaucoo uuu m*-u u?.?v* -% ? forth (Jas. i, 21; Tit. i, 9; Phil, ii, 1G). 15, 16. "Who, when they were come lown, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost." They were jomewhat like the apostles and other believers before Pentecost. They had beieved, were baptized and had become rhildren of God and temples of the Holy Gfhost, but they bad not been endued tvith the power which all believers need :o enable them to serve the living and :rue God. All who truly receive Christ ire saved and have become children of 3od (John i, 12) and temples of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in every believer, but ,t is possible for such to be only babes md carnal (I Cor. vi, 19, 20; iii, 1, 2), and :herefore the necessity of being filled ivith the Spirit and endued with power ;o live the life of faithful testimony. 17. "Then laid they their hands on :hem, and they received the Holy Ghost." Saving prayed (verse 15), they now with ixpectation lay hands on them, and the special gift of the Spirit is received. So tlso did Paul at Ephesus (chapter xix, 5, G). Our Lord's words, "Ask, and it shall be given you." are in connection .vith these others, "How much more shall rour heavenly Father give the Iloly Spirt to them that ask Iliui" (Luke si, 9, 13).

Negro man, calling himself Sam Barber, to the chaingang for 30 days for cruelty to a child. Barber claims to be from Columbia and was tramping from that city to Charlotte, being accompanied by a little boy. The child broke down and could go no further than a mile or so above Ogden. Becoming enraged with the child, Barber knocked him down and stamped bim in the face several times with the heel of his shoe, producing painful injuries. Persons in the neighborhood, feeling indignant at the cruelty of the brutal man, had him arrested, with the result that he is now in chains at the county chaingang.. V\.Mr. E. G. Neely, who lived in the eastern part ot this township, died at his home at in early hour Wednesday morning, md that evening his remains were buried in Laurelwood cemetery. Mr. Neely was about 32 years of age, a son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Frank Neely. He was married, his wife being a laughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Millolen. He leaves two children and bis wife. For some time Mr. Neely bas been a sufferer from appendicitis. Dn Friday of last week, Dr. J. A. Massey, Jr., performed an operation, removing the appendix. This was successful and the patient was doing well aut a stubborn locking up of the bowels followed and from this cause death occurred. Mr. Neely was a member of txrol-nnf namr> W nf W nnd WAS in sured in that order for $2,000, the pol/ty being payable to his mother SJr. Laurence Wilson, who died from njuries sustained as the result of the bursting of a fly wheel in Spartanburg, Wednesday night, was a brother of Mrs. T. A. Barron, of Ebenezer. He was raised at Davidson College, ?vhere his father and family live. The body was taken to Davidson Thursday light for interment yesterday. Mrs. Barron, accompanied by her husband, eft Rock Hill the same night for her bid home at Davidson. Rock Hill Herald, February 26: A !ew days ago, on the farm of Mr. J. W. Roddey, at Roddey's, the wife of Ike Donam, was burned to death. Donam ind his family had moved into the louse only about an hour before. Donim, however, had gone to the store at Roddey's, and when he returned he found the body of his wife lifeless. The ivoman had fallen with her head in the Ire; her eyes were burned out and her 'ace horribly charred. She had evidenty dropped dead and had fallen as indicated. Two young children were present when their mother fell and they jave the alarm. No inquest was held, is the neighbors deemed that was unnecessary The removal of Mr. de Loach from the county and the acceptince by Mr. Elder of a position in the lispensary departmerit in Columbia, eliminates two prominent men from county politics and makes it a certainty that two of the York county legislative Jelegation will not be candidates for reelection. It is understood that Messrs. Haile and Beamguard will be in the field for endorsement. The York delegation was one of the most patient and painstaking in the legislature. The members voted at nearly every roll call and for what they deemed the best interests of the people of the county and of the state. They were criticised for 'ailing to urge the large appropriation for Winthrop college, but they understood the conditions better than their critics and say they are prepared to defend their action, or, rather, inaction. Monday morning a little colored boy, accompanied by his sister, children of Ike Kennedy, aged respectively 9 and 7 years, were sent by their mother to a store across Fishing creek. In order to accomplished their mision they had to cross the creek on a long footlog a few feet below the ford at Cornwell's mill. At this point the creek is swift ordinarily; but Monday it was swollen and in consequence the velocity was much increased, the water being about Ave feet In depth. The children crossed the log safely in going to the store; but upon their return they had several bundles and thus hampered they stepped upon the log, hand in hand. When about the center of the log the little girl lost her balance, careened and finally fell headlong into the creek, her body disappearing at once. The boy kept his footing with ditficulty, and when the girl was careening and finally in falling released his hand, he came very near falling, but managed to get to the bank and was thus saved a watery grave. He did all In his power to hold the little girl on the log, but perched as he was had not the power to do so. When the boy reached the bank he saw his ciuian'o ltn/1 if vico a tVtn onvfo no nf tV?o water about 75 yards below the footlog. He ran down the creek, hoping to be of aid to her, but the only part of her body he ever saw again was one foot. It rose above the water about 75 yards below where he had seen the body rise. When the alarm was given in the neighborhood, a number of persons went to the scene and the creek was thoroughly dragged for a long distance without any trace of the body. The girl's sack and hat were found and recovered, however. A number of neighbors went to the scene again yesterday to drag the creek, but on account of the rain, the water was higher than the day before and it is doubtful if the body could be recovered. CHESTER. Lantern, February 21: Chester county has been shipping mules to the wholesale markets this year by carloads. This seems to be in the line of what we have been pleading for; but it has come about in the wrong way. These same mules were imported and we got too poor to feed them, so we shipped them back Mr. W. R. Lee has two handsome sorrels which ha raised. They are half brother and sister, four years old?only three days difference in their ages and are good matches. If every farmer would raise a horse or mule every year or two there would be more money in the country and less hard times Mr. J. (1. L. White left for Charleston on Wednesday night, taking some valua- ! ble acquisitions to the Chester exhibit < at the exposition. Among the most 1 valuable paintings available he took i two life-size portraits belonging to i Miss Mary Ellen McKee, who kindly j loaned them- for the exhibit. These i were painted In 1821 by a Frelch artist ( who was traveling the rough back- woods of Chester county. It will be ; seen that it was about 81 years since | the work was done. One is a picture ( I - > wi? 1 _i? nr*A tKa nth. UL 1*1133 lUUIYCC Iicrscilf OIIU bitv V??? , er is that of a sister who died in early : life. Eoth were taken in childhood. ] Miss McKee is holding a doll in her arms, and it is said that she still has ] in her possession the dress in which ] the picture was taken. The styles of ] those days differ somewhat from , those of our day. The owner of these ( paintings is now 81 years old and is a resident of our town. Another valua- , ble attraction which Mr. White took was a "perpetual motion," made by , the late Charles Whitus, and was ob- , talned from Mrs. Whitus. This is a marvel of mechanism, the work of a , genius. It is impossible for a person with no mechanical gift to describe this piece of ingenius workmanship, but nevertheless we can say that it is one of the greatest efforts of mechanical skill we have ever seen. In consists of 886 different pieces and its owner could operate it with apparent success. It has been four years since its completion. Mr. Whitus worked at it constantly for eleven months, completing it in that time. No doubt it will be the centre of a great deal of attraction and will help out the Chester exhibit to a considerable extent. Mr. White has been instructed that all the exhibits must be on the grounds by the 1st of March. The last of the county's exhibits will likely be sent down next week. No one can afford to miss seeing the Chester exhibit when the exposition is visited. Lantern, February 26: Two recruits? J. D. and R. D. Doster?were committed to jail yesterday for robbing a box car. The preliminary trial has not been held yet: but will come up before Magistrate Williams, probably, today. In the meantime they are held in custody. Policeman Anderson ran upon them Sabbath night while one of them was in the box car and the other was on the outside. Some apples and a package of Mustang Liniment were all that was missing from the car Mr. S. G. Strait, a young business man of Smith's Turnout, was in town yesterday. He says that times are not so hard in his section, that there ie much more money in circulation than one would suppose.. In response to the announcement of Superintendent of Education Knox, 42 applicants for certificates to teach in the public schools of Chester county presented themselves for examination Friday. These consisted of three white males, three white females, 20 colored males and 16 colored females. The examination was conducted by Superintendent Knox, and Messrs. S. B. Lathan and R. B. Caldwell, who constitute the board The smallpox situation is not at all alarming; but there are a few cases in Chester. Archie Howard, a colored barber, broke out with smallpox IBM Friday, and now the yellow flag is seen at his house on College street. UNION. Times, February 22: At the last meeting of the council, the mayor called attention to the fact that the habit of using cocaine by the Negroes and many of the poorer white people was growing to an alarming extent, whereupon the council instructed the mayor to appoint a committee to draft an ordinance to prohibit the sale and use of this drug as far as possible. The mayor appointed the following committee: V. E. DePass. G. C. Perrin and W. E. G. Humphries. You should be surprised to know how many people here use this drug. The sale of it should be prohibited except upon a prescription from a physician On Saturday night, 8th, Mr. Will Fourshees was given a drink by some Negroes, which put him to sleep. He was then robbed of money, Jewelry, shoes, handkerchief, etc. The drink was supposed to have been drugged with cocaine. This happened on Palmer's Row at night. The parties implicated and tried before the mayor Monday morning of this week, were Julia West, Elolse West, Jim Boozer, Peter Jackson, Greer, Vira Johnson, and Julia Moffls. The mayor finding testimony sufficient turned the above parties over to the magistrate. The case was worked up by Chief Police F. M. Isreal, Milo Evans and R. T. Lee. Besides this robbery, Mr. Ben Greer and several others have been robbed recently in the same locality of watches, jewelry, money, etc. The police say they are determined to break up this robbing business and will leave no stone unturned in running down the guilty parties in every instance We regret to learn that Mr. Chas. E. Graham had the misfortune to lose his store house at Cross Keys, and entire stock of goods on last Saturday night by fire. It was a total loss to him as he did not carry a dollar's insurance. It seems that a hot fire had been kept in the stove all day on account of the extremely cold weather. The store was closed about dark and in half an hour afterwards smoke was seen issuing from the buildintr. Mr .Tosse Or;ihnm ran to the store and broke the door in, but the fire had gained such headway that the smoke and blaze drove him and other friends, who had come up, out of the building and it was impossible to save anything. It is supposed the fire caught from the stove fiue. LANCASTER. Ledger, February 22: Mrs. J. M. Riddle is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. J. Maekorell at Yorkville Mrs. Eliza Sims, aged about 67 years, died at her home near Dixie, on Tuesday night last Only about two-thirds of the taxes for Lancaster county have been paid as yet, and money in the county treasury is getting pretty low. The further extension of time for pay ing taxes will necessitate the county borrowing money to pay its indebtedness, whereas if the time had not been extended the taxes would have been paid and the county able to meet its demands. The teachers in some of the school districts cannot get the money 1 now due them, and probably will not get it until the taxes are paid Sheriff Hunter got on to a conspiracy on Thursday on the part of three of his prisoners to overpower Jailor Horton and make a break for liberty. He took occasion to read them the riot ict, and In consequence of the conspiracy, Jonas Pratt, charged with grand larceny, Wade Haglns, charged with murder, and Reuben Clark for mortgaging property he didn't own, have been denied in future the privilege of the passage ways, being kept confined in a cell A Negro by the name of Kelly shot and Instantly killed another Negro named Catoe at Mr. Henry Horton's, near Kershaw, last Wednesday. From what we can learn Kelly had been told that Catoe had said he would whip him on sight, so he armed himself and on meeting Catoe Wednesday, asked him about what had been reported to him. Catoe denied It and the d?n lie was passed when Kelly whipped out his pistol and fired at Catoe, the ball entering about his right eye, passing nearly through his head and killing him instantly. Mr. Horton was near and told Kelly that Catoe was dead, when Kelly took oft his hat and ran away SOUT RAII THE GREA OF TRADE j Uniting the Prin Centera end Hei Resorts of the So NORTH, EA.
