tumorous grpartmrnt. ?5 - Put Trust In - the Lord. "Last winter when I went south for my health," said Col. L. S. Brown, of the Southern railway, who always has a good story in stock, "I was told they were going to try a colored man for stealing a quantity of raw cotton, and when the hour arrived I went up to the court house to hear the case. The prisoner was a man about forty years of age and he had elected to plead his own case. The prosecution proved that the bag of cotton was found in the colored man's cabin and the pro: ^rty was fully identiped as belonging to the owner of a compress. The prisoner asked no questions, but said he wanted to make a statement and rest his case 'wid de Lawd.' After a while he was given an opportunity to speak and said: " 'I was gwine by dat compress at 'leben o'clock last night when a voice dun called out to me. "Hold on, dar, Abraham Jones. Yo' was a pore man, an' yo' jest take 'long dis bag o' cotton to buy yo' some shoes fur cold weather." Den de bag fell at my feet an' I dun took it home.' "'Did you recognize the voice?' said the Judge. " 'No, sah: but. I reckon it was an angel who spoke.' " 'Then why did you hide the bag when you got home?' " 'Well, sah, jest as I got frew de grate another voice dun told me dat I'd better hide de cotton for a few days.' "'Did you recognize that voice?' "'No, sah: but I dun reckon it was a voice from heben.' "'And that's your defence, is it?' " 'Yes, sah. I'ze willin' to rest dis case in de Lawd's hands. De Lawd He dun knows I nebber stole dat cotton.' " 'Hadn't you better have a lawyer?' suggested the Judge, witn someimng like a smile on his face. " 'I reckon not. sah. I'ze been gwine to church fur de las' fo'ty y'ars, an* I'ze restin' dis case right in the hands ob de Lawd.' " 'Then I shall have to give you four months in jail. Abraham.' " 'Huh, what fur?' " 'For stealing that cotton.' "The prisoner received his sentence without a word, seeming to have expected it, and was presently led away. Two weeks later I met him on the streets of a town fifty miles away and said to him: " 'Abraham, I thought you were in jail over at Selma?' " 'Yes, sah, I was,' he replied. " 'And I remember you put your case in the hands of the Lord?' " "Deed, but I did, sah, an' I cum out all right.' " 'But you got four months.' " 'So I did, sah?so I did, but after - serving nine days ob de time de Lawd showed me how to dig outer dat jail, an' yer I am an' dey won't nebber git me agin.' "?Washington Star. A Table Code.?The father of a large and expensive family had brought a guest home to dine with him. The dinner was in progress. He helped the guest liberally to everything that was on the table, but before serving the members of the family Jie glanced at his wife, who made a slight and almost imperceptible signal to him, in accordance with some preconcerted code, and it worked in o o horoin Qat fnrtlv piavvivc wo uv*v*i? -vfc ?. ....

Forever Shut Out of Society.?A friend of Frank R.

The conversation touching upon the beauties of Omar Khayyam, a spirited discussion of the Persian poet ensued, during which the bewildered woman from the west caught from time to time the name of "Omar." Turning to Mr. Stockton the sisterin-law asked: "Who is this Mr. Omar they're talking about? Very popular in society, I suppose." "Why. madam," replied the humorist, gravely, "that man did something that forever shuts him out of society!" "Gracious me!" exclaimed the worthy dame, "and what was that?"

The old woman pondered and then, with her finger, figured on the sleeve of her coat a little longer. After her effort she demanded: "That would make the other collar 12 cents, wouldn't it?

Lantern, November 10: In the ease against Press Massey, on the charge of murder, the defendant was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. In the court of general sessions on Saturday morning the jury in the case of the State vs. W. H. Newbold, indicted for assault and battery with intent to uiii and narrvlne concealed weapons. failed to agi se and the court ordered a mistrial. In the court of common pleas the case or D. L. Austin vs. Geo. L. Kennedy, administrator, was commenced Friday evening and concluded Saturday. The jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of {75. Monday morning the case of William W. Banks vs. Mary McCollum et al. was taken up and has not been concluded at the time we go to press. This is an appeal from the probate court Hymen's altar was on last evening erected in the. home of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Bradfield, when Mr. Taliaferro Strother Simpson led to it Miss Mary Caldwell Bradfield. For five generations Miss Bradfield's ancestors have been born and, married in Mecklenburg county, and the present marriage makes the sixth in this direct line. For this happy occasion, the home decorations were beautiful in their simplicity, ferns and flowering plants in the hall and parlor, chrysanthemums and palms in the dining room and on the bride's table. At the first strains of the wedding march, rendered by Mrs. W. J. Simpson of Chester, the six attractive little attendants formed an aisle for the bridal party. Misses Josephine and Rider Guion, Alice Moore, Masters Willie, John and Malcolm Bradfleld.. The parents of the bride entered next; then the bride with with her maid of honor. Miss Annie Lee Davidson of Chester, met the groom, with his distinguished kinsman, Major Samuel Minter Martin of Clemson College, at the kneeling cushions. Miss Davidson's gown was a charming white organdy, she carried white carnations and asparagus fern. The bride's bouquet was of unusual beauty, its purity and lovliness well typified the youth and winsome charm of the bride; her gown too was most becoming to her petite and dainty style, being soft, white crepe with effective garniture or rose-applique. After the Rev. George Talson performed the impressive ceremony, a delicious repast was served to the assembled relatives and a few intimate friends. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson left on the half after ten train for South Carolina and a visit to the groom's parents. The love and good wishes which follow the young couple were clearly shown by the numerous gifts received, many being pieces of handiwork, the loving work of the bride's lady friends, and many from distant states. LANCASTER. Ledger, November 11: Mr. Jas. B. McMurray, an aged and well-known citizen of the county, died at the home of his relative, Mr. R. H.

Her remains were interred Monday afternoon at the Roweil burying ground near Tabernacle Nelson, the four-year-old son of Nan Crawford, colored at this place was so badly burned by his clotheing catching afire last Saturday morning that he died from his injuries five hours later. No one was in the house at the time, the mother being at Mr. Mackey's where she is employed as a cook, and an older child which had been left in charge of the body having gone on an errand to a neighbor's. Capt. McManus, who was some distance away in his garden, saw the child run out from the house, its clothing all ablaze and hallooed to "Aunt" Mary Boykin, an old colored woman who lived next door to Nan, and she ran out and caught the child and extinguished the flames, burning one of her hands severely. Dr. Poovey was summoned and did what he could for the child but it was too badly burned for him to have any hope for its recovery. Mrs. J. C. Elliott of Yorkville, is visiting her -laughter, Mrs. J.

It feci \ sr nic yrui-?ic ui girac pleasure to see and hear Mr. Ewart again. The congregation was composed of all denominations and at the close of the service he was given a warm handshaking by his many old friends In dressing for burial the body of Jack Bluckman, the Negro who was killed at a hot supper near Primus one night last week, a wound was noticed in his right breasi which was overlooked by the physicians at the time of the inquest. The matter was reported to the coroner after the interment and on last Sunday he reassembled the jury, had the body exhumed and toe physicians made investigation of the wound. The wound was found to have been made with a 32ealibre pistol ball, the same as the wound in the head which occasioned his instant death. Watts, the Negro in jail charged with the homicide, claims, we understand, that his pistol was a 38-calibre, while others claim that he had two pistols, one a white handle 32-calibre. Both wounds were made with 32-calibre balls. CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, November 10 The Jenkins distillery case was argued Friday in Columbia before the big booze board, by J. C.

It seems, from our point of view, that this big still will have to go, but the board gave the defendants thirty days more in which to fully present their side of the case A correspondent from Greenville of the State, of the 6th instant states that four up-country counties will supply one-third of the $100,000 endowment for Furman university. Cherokee is one of the four. The Southern is going to build a new depot in Greenville.

Gastonia Gazette, November 10:" Air Line street from the Falls House to the crossing looked deserted yesterday. The Columbus Carnival company pulled up stakes Saturday night after making things lively for a week. The crowds were fairly good though not as large as was expected. The firemen received $155 for their part which represents ten per cent of the gross receipts of the ten shows. Lunette, the "flying lady," the Ferris wheel and the fortune tellers probably received the largest patronage. There was very little rowdyism and the police had practically no trouble in keeping the crowds straight. From here the Carnival goes to Shelby for a week Mr. H. J. Allison of King's Mountain was in the city on business yesterday Three freight cars were smashed up in a small wreck between Gastonia and Lioweii on me ooumern ounuay morning.

A government official who recently returned from a visit to Palm Beach, Fla., tells about seeing a huge maneating shark captured at that place. It was one of the biggest sharks ever caught in Florida waters and was evidently. a sailor of many years. The monster measured eighteen feet in length, had a sword attachment as long as an arm and was of the leopard species, stamping it as one of the man-eating variety. The shark was caught by a fisherman. He used a large rope for a line and had a windlass as a reel. At the end of the line was a huge steel hook and this was baited with a bright tin can. The shark bit at the bait and was entrapped. He was landed after the roughest time the fisherman ever experienced. It was the interior of the fish, however, that excited the greatest interest. When he was cut open a whole porpoise was found in the stomach. There was also a large piece of partly digested shark and the head of an ostrich. The piece of shark inside the monster was out of the back and contained the backbone of the dead fish. A careful examination showed that the backbones were larger than the backbones of the larger shark. A number of scars on his body showed that he had been in conflict with another shark and the finding of a piece of the adversary showed that the conflict had ended in the death of the opponent, that the victor had swallowed a jucy portion of his adversary. The presence of the ostrich head in the stomach of the man-eater was regarded as undoubted proof that he had made the trip in two or three days. The head was not digested and the process had only just begun. There is only one ostrich farm in Florida and when that institution was communicated with the owners said that they had not losi an ostrich in a year. The ability of a shark to pass a fast steamer in one minute's time is well-known to travelers and there is no doubt that the shark had been in African waters, had captured a stray ostrich or head of one that had been killed and then started across the Atlantic reaching Florida waters before the ostrich had begun to digest.?

If the moon looks bright, cold weather may be expected. If the moon looks low down, warm weather is promised. The new moon on her back always denotes wet weather. A double halo around the moon means very boisterous weather. If the moon changes with the wind in the east, then shall we have bad weather. If the moon be bright and clear when three days old, line weather is promised. When the moon is visible in the day time, then we may look forward to cool days. If the new moon appears with its points upward, then will the month be dry, but should the points be downward more or less rain must be expected during the next three weeks.?

An Aninjal Story Por Little Folks <|h{k3>i8> Why The Animal Schools Failed I wonder how many little boys and girls know why there are no schools in animal land? Well, wherever there are schools there are school commissioners or a school board, which has charge of the scboois and makes the laws to govern them. When the animals decided to establish schools they selected a school board, consisting of Mr. Elephant, Mr. Kangaroo ana Mr. Monkey, ana uiese fellows held a meeting to agree upon their plans. "What shall the animal children be taught in the animal school? That is the question," declared Mr. Monkey. THE SCHOOL BOARD HELD A MEETING. "Yes, that is the question," exclaimed Mr. Kangaroo and Mr. Elephant together. "They should be taught to climb trees," said the monkey positively. "All my relatives will serve as teachana " "No. Indeed!" shouted the other two In chorus. "That would never do." "They should be taught to jump!" cried the kangaroo with emphasis. "All my relatives will be glad to teach them." "No. indeed!" yelled the other two in unison. "That would never do." "They should be taught to look wise," said the elephant, "and all my relatives will act as teachers." "No, Indeed!" howled the other two together. "That will never do." "Well, what will do?" they asked as they looked at each other in perplexity. "Teach them to climb," said Mr. Monkey. "Teach them to Jump," said Mr. Kangaroo. "Teach them to look wise." said Mr. Elephant. And so It was that none of them would yield, and when they saw there was no chance to agree they all became angry and decided not to have any animal schools at all. Between you and me, I expect the animals are Just as smart as they would be with schools run by the elephant monkey and kangaroo. What do you think??Detroit Journal. ONE WOMAN'S DEVOTION. A Texas Wife's Loyalty to Her Dead Husband's Memory. An Indianapolis young woman whose winters are spent in Texas, where her father has thousands of cattle and acres of grass to feed them on, always brings north with her a fund of Interesting stories from the Lone Star State. "The greatest case of woman's devotion to the memory of a dead husband I know of, said she, "is to be found on a big ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. She is a sweet faced English woman who is living a life of sacrifice away from her friends because her husband lies buried in that country. Capt. Follett and wife came to Texas from England and settled on a big ranch. The captain was successful and made money. His wife, a refined and cultured woman, endured the early privations because she was with her husband and because he was doing well. After years of hard work, when they had gathered about them great droves of cattle and had built themselves a luxurious home, the husband was taken suddenly ill and died. His wife, instead of having him buried in a cemetery, had him laid in the ground in the yard in front of their home. The little mound that marks his resting place is still there. Friends came to the assistance of the wife and gave her advice and all the assistance that generous Texans can give. "At length she settled down to living again absolutely alone and unprotected. She keeps no help on the ranch, as none is needed except when it is necessary to brand her cattle or vvhpn thov arc tnlrun to market. On these occasions she calls in the neighbors. But she has no one living in the house with her and prefers to be alone with her dead?lying there in the yard. Her home is furnished luxuriously. She has a piano and her library and magazines. People visiting her home could scarcely believe from the interior that they were in the very heart of the cattle country, far from civilization. She plays the piano exquisitely and all the best class of music finds its way into the ranch house. People passing that way late at night are often astonished to hear the sound of a piano played by expert hands coming from the house. She is intensely loyal to her husband's memory. On the piano at the moment of his death was a white duck helmet which he wore on the plains. It lay where he cast it the last day he wore it. It has never been moved from the piano, and the devoted wife will not let it be moved. "In the rear of the house is a little gate that hangs about half, way open. Capt. Follett, the last trip he made through this gate before his illness, left it open, and his wife has never allowed it to be closed. It hangs there today just as it did when he passed through it the last time. Mrs. Follett is always glad to have people come and see her for a short call, but she will not hear of any one staying with her for the sake of keeping her company. Hhe prefers to be alone out there in the great solitude, living out her life within a few feet of his grave and waiting to join him in the great beyond. That's what I call devotion and faithfulness to the memory of a loved one." - Indianapolis Journal. You Should See Us When You Want = Oliver Chilled Plows, Hoosier Grain Drills, .
