tumorous Department. Amono the Cobwebs.?A lawyer was talking about the late Samuel C. T. Dodd, the Standard Oil lawyer, whose salary from the great corporation was 1200,000 a year. "Mr. Dodd," said the lawyer, "had an excellent legal talent. He It was, you know, who organized the Standard Oil trust. What further endeared him to Mr. Rockefeller was his strict views about the observance of Sabbath. "They tell a story about Dodd when he was a struggling practitioner in Franklin. "There was a Franklin minister who went gunning a great deal, and altogether was rather a sporting character. "At a little church supper one night the minister was boasting about his knowledge of horses and hunting, his marksmanship, and so on. when Dodd interrupted him. "'You're a good sportsman, are you?' he said. " 'Well/ said the minister, not suspecting any trap, 'I am not a bad sportsman, if I do say it myself.' "'Yet,' said Dodd, 'if I were a I could hide where there'd be no danger of your potting me.' "'Where would you hide?' asked the minister. " 'I'd hide,' Dodd answered, 'in your study.'" An Amendment.?In Mississippi there was a colored preacher noted in those parts for the extreme frankness and candor of his exhortations to his wicked brethren to reform. On one occasion, relates Representative John Sharp Williams, the divine was holding forth on the sin of theft. Among other things he said: "I see befo' me ten chicken thieves, includin' Dan Samson." This bold statement of fact rather aroused the resentment of the aforesaid Samson, and he threatened the minister with personal violence. The tatter's friends persuaded the divine to withdraw the accusation -if Samson would promise not to offer the minister any hurt. * The question seemed about to be adjusted, it being settled that the clergyman should, on the following Sunday, publicly retract his statement as to the honesty of Mr. Samson. Therefore, rising in the pulpit on the day appointed, the minister said: "It 'pears dat a remark of mine in de sermon of last Sunday has been de cause of offence, an' I derefore amends it. What I should have said was dis: 4T t h ipvpq i see uciu me ten viuvnv** , not includin' Dan Samson.' "?Harper's Weekly. What Stumped Pat.?Pat had just arrived from Ireland, and as he was walking away from the Quebec docks, met an American who was on his way to Dawson. He asked Pat to go too. Pat at first would not, but when the American told him he might get rich there he readily consented. They went by degrees, catching a free ride at any possible chance. When at last they arrived In the gold fields they staked their claims and settled down to business. They dug for some time, but without success. At last they determined to give It up. Pat was very low-spirited, as he was out of funds. They determined to quit the next day. In the evening, as they were talking It over, the American, thinking to crack a jol(e on Pat, said. "Why couldn't I dress you up as a monkey and exhibit you?" "Wa-al, where's we get the other man?" Pat Innocently replied. "What other man?" asked the American. "Why," repoined Pat, 'the man to tell which end of the string the monkey's on."?Judge's Library. His Idea of a Bath.?"I had a bachelor apartment at one time with an Englishman who was always talking about hi3 'bawth, you know,'" he began, according to the New York Press. "The first thing of a morning he said: 'I must take my bawth, you know. Really, now, I must take by bawth. Haw. haw!' 'He did so much talking about this 'bawth' of his that he must take 'you know' that I stayed one morning to see him take it, to see If It was different from the bath of the American. "It was, you know. This Is what he did: First he spread a soft towel at the bottom of the bath tub, then turned on the water till It was about two inches high. " 'So as not to chill my feet, you know,' he explained to me. 'Haw, haw!' "Then he stood on the soft towel In the two inches of water, turned on the spray, sprang through It, leaped out and rushed for a towel. "He had taken his 'bawth, you know. Haw, haw!'" Marrying a Girl. "With Money."? When Mr. Blank was thinking of marrying a girl "with money" a friend advised against It, according to the New Times. "My boy," he said, "before I was married my wife inherited $500 from her grandfather. The whole town knew it. When I built a store ..... smiled. " His wife's money." they said. "When I built a house the same smiles went round: " 'His wife's money.' "After awhile I took stock in the new gas and electric company. "'Ah!' said the treasurer. 'I see you are investing some of your wife's money.' "All my life that p.*>r little $500 has received the credit for everything I have been able to achieve. "As a matter of fact, my wife spent the money the day she got it for a diamond ring and a piajio. She lost the ring a week later, and I guess some of the neighbors wished heartily that she would lose the piano." The Murderer.?A New York business man, while in Chicago recently, was expecting a money-order letter in a day or two. In order to avoid any difficulty in identification, he went to a clerk in the postoffice and said: "I am expecting a money order to the amount of $100, and my name is Thomas Blank. Here are a lot of letters addressed to me from various places. You will observe the postmarks. So, you see, If I am not the man I claim to be, I must have murdered that man and possessed myself of his letters, and am now personating him. As that is not likely, you must admit that I am the man." The New Yorker, having delivered himself of the foregoing, left the postoffice. In a few days the money order came, and the man from New York repaired 10 me umce iu ? ?? uiuci cashed. He expected to find the clerk ready for him, but at first the clerk did not recollect him. Presently the' New Yorker succeeded in recalling himself to the man's memory. "Oh yes," said the clerk quite seriously, "you're the chap that murdered the other man."?Harper's Weekly. iHiscrUanfous fading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. New* and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. CHESTER. Lantern, May 28: Rev. J. S. Grier of Sharon. S. C., passed through yesterday morning on his return home from New Hope, in Fairfield county, where he preached Saturday and Sabbath and held communion service Mrs. W. M. Love of McConnell8ville, who has been spending two weeks with her mother in Greenwood, was in the city Saturday afternoon on her return home. Her son, Mr. Robert Love, who has been taking a business course in Atlanta, stopped over two days with her In Greenwood anji accompanied her home Saturday morning Mrs. R. G. Smith drove out In her decorated buggy which took a premium at the horse show to have it photographed. When she returned a trace came loose at the gate and she stopped. The horses backed and ran the vehicle in a lock, when she got out. The horses then started on a run up Church street. When they reached Mrs. Stewart's, one of them struck a tree and the other fell over the fence into the yard. The latter was not much hurt (but the former was badly hurt in his head. Dr. J. E. Cornwell said the skull was broken, but three or four days would be required to judge as to :osults. The horse is apparently doing well now and it Is hoped that he will recover. He has eaten well and moved about all the time since he was hurt, very much as if nothing had happened. The horses are a magnificent pair of blacks. Mr. Smith paid 1600 for a pair and then traded one in such a way as to make the cost of the present pair $550. LANCASTER. News, May 29: The closing exercises of the Lancaster graded schools, held in the auditorium last Friday evening, were highly entertaining and creditable alike to pupils and teachers. The attendance of patrons and friends of the school was unusually large, the auditorium being crowded to its utmost capacity. The address of Col. Marion was an able, scholarly effort and was much enjoyed by his large and appreciative audience Mrs. Huey, wife of Mr. Joseph Huey of Belalr, died last Saturday night. She was a daughter of Mr. J. W. Collins of the Belair section, and was about 40 years of age. She was a most estimable lady and was a consistent member of the Methodist church. Her husband and five children survive her The Lancaster schools having closed, several of the teachers have returned to their homes. Principal .J. A- Jenkins of the Central school, has gone to Yorkville; Miss Grace Whisonant, principal of the Cotton Mills school, to Wilklnsville, Cherokee county; Miss Bessie Harper and .Miss Daisy Mclntyre of the Central school to Kingstree and Marlon, respectively Mrs. Sallie Adams, whose desperate illness was noted In our last issue, died last Friday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, at her home In this vicinity. She was a daughter of the late Joseph Strain, and widow of the late Jas. W. Adams. She was In her sixtieth year, having been born in 1848 Mr. S. T. Cauthen of the Dry Creek section, had quite a snake scare last Friday. While in his stable cleaning out the horse rack he observed something move in the rack which he thought was a rat, but on raking away some trash with his hand he discovered a snake, which he soon dispatched with a hoe. On turning around and looking about the stable he saw two Immense moccasins lying on the ground. These he killed with his gun, going to the house after it for the purpose. Leaving the stable Mr. Cauthen went to his crib, and on | opening the door the first thing that greeted his eyes was still another snake, but this one succeeded in making good Its escape before Mr. CtLUthen could attack It Joe Brown, the negro charged with stealing the horse of Mr. Orln Blackmon the 4th of last November, has been located by Sheriff Hunter in Florida. It will be recalled that Brown made his escape from the county just after the horse was taken, and although the animal was recovered. the whereabouts of the negro was not known until Sheriff Hunter located him on a rural route in Florida a few days ago, where he was going by the name of W. H. Brown. The sheriff has had him arrested and he Is now In jail at Jacksonville. Capt. Hunter nas applied to Gov. Ansel for requisition papers and as soon as he receives them will go to Florida after his prisoner. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, May 28: Mr. R. B. Bablngton, manager of the Piedmont Telephone and Telegraph company, left this morning for Blacksburg, S. C., where he will be for a day or two. Yesterday morning work was begun on a line which the company will build from Blacksburg to Yorkville, a distance of twenty-six miles. Two squads of men were put to work, one out from Blacksburg. the other out from Yorkville Gaston superior court has been taken up this week with the famous case of E. D. Latta vs. the Catawba Electric power company, which involves the water rights at Mountain Island. The case has been'pending for several years and is now being tried for Its first time. Mr. Latta is represented by Messrs. C. W. Tillet and W. B. Rodman of Charlotte, and Hon. O. F. Mason of Dallas. The Catawba Power company is represented by exJudge Frank I. Osborne of New York; Messrs. W. C.. Maxwell and J. W. Keerans of Charlotte. Yesterday, Judge Osborne made a motion to throw the case out of court and it came very near going. However, the case is now being tried and, unless it is cut short, will take the entire time of the court this week Chief of Police J. C. Duncan of Blacksburg, arrived In Gastonia Sunday afternoon on No. 12, having in his custody Will Rhineheardt, a white man who is wanted at Lincolnton on two charges, one for selling whisky, the other for assaulting a man whose name was not learned. He was met here by Chief of Police K. W. Keener of Lincolnton, and Sheriff J. K. Cline of Lincoln, who took Rhlneheardt in charge and returned to T innnlnlun with him For several da\'S previous to his arrest the man had been wandering around in the woods near Blacksburg and the people in that vicinity, becoming frightened because of his presence, reported the matter to the police authorities and he was arrested on suspicion. After he was placed in jail at Blacksburg he confessed that he was wanted at Lincolnton on the charges named above. The authorities at that place were communicated with, the result being as above stated. THE WORLD BECOMING HONEST, t s Such Is the Opinion of a Famous New t York Preacher. s The geologist tells us that the White v Mountains were the first peaks to emerge from the sea; then, little by t little, the whole continent appeared, li lslng above the hot waters of either g ocean. That was a great moment d when Mount Washington first cleared Itself of water, steam and mud and q stood forth, crowned with sunlight, s the forerunner of a new continent. v But more wonderful still the sudden h entrance of conscience and ethics Into s the Industrial and corporative life of s the republic. For years, doubtless, the ii preparatory processes have been going e on. but the ethical movement has pub- c lished itself only in the last few weeks and months. Today the railroads are posting their rates and withdrawing secret rebates. Alarmed, politicians C no longer hawk franchises in the lobbies of the city hall. Recently a wholesale house has raised the price for a c certain food product. The reason giv- tl en is that hitherto each pound package d contained fifteen ounces, the other L ounce being the pasteboard box. They tl have to charge more now, because they t give sixteen ounces in return for the tl purchased. The merchant says that ji the saving of that ounce always paid c for the pasteboard boxes and the packing. Now that his firm has be- c come honest he bas to raise the price, d In his Innocence he has confessed that s for years his firm has stolen one-six- fi teenth of the goods from the people g who bought them. Henceforth who e can say that religion is not worth ii its weight in gold and coffee and p rice and sugar? It seems that the appearance of conscience in trade has a wrought out the pure food bill, and a that henceforth the foods that are a adulterated will be marked adulterated a and foods that are pure will be mark- a ed pure. ti Even more wonderful is the Influence c of conscience in politics. The time tl was when the world of politics was a t< wide waste, a Salton Sea. Now an e occasional peak of honesty is emerg- a ing therefrom. ^he peaks may seem t1 solitary and separated, the occasional names being as distant from each oth- ji er as the star named Slrius and our ? sun. Nevertheless, conscience has ap- h peared. E In Springfield, 111., a merchant from s, a certain city wished a bill put through f< the legislature. On the surface the n hill looked all right, representing the interests of the people; secretly It was t< In the Interest of the merchant, who a had sent his paid lobbyists to the state a capital. Probably the legislators did is not know what was Involved, but their e leaders reported the bill favorably. On o hearing of this good fortune the mer- n chant prepared to take the midnight a train for Chicago, but in the late af- tl ternoon he decided to drive out and T visit Lincoln's tomb. Stopping his if carriage, he walked slowly about the c monument. When the shadows fell the n night found him still looking at the tl face of Lincoln, with his face turned ct toward the state house and his hand holding a roll. At length in the dark- t< ness the merchant returned to his ho- u tel. Giving up his berth on the sleep- ij er. he spent the night in the capital, Is but all night long he tossed upon his tl bed. When the day dawned he sent h for his representative and told him to fl withdraw the bill. When his attorney t< expostulated, saying that the bill would n pass since the work was all done, the b merchant insisted. Pressed for his l reason, he drove his attorney to the r park and cemetery, and there, in front g of Lincoln's monument, he bade the v driver stop, and looking up, he said C to the lobbyist: "I cannot do so mean tl a thing with Lincoln looking toward the state house and watching me." tl Being dead, the martyred president o lived and spoke eloquently, pleading fi for justice and honesty. And in every o city and state capital honest men are b appearing. Every day witnesses a po- e litical uprising in some city. With 1; whips and scourges the public con- h science is driving1 the money cnanges n out of the city councils. The time is near at hand when the city council n shall be as honorable and distinguished tl a body as the Chamber of Commerce, sj And this is a new note in the political w world. si More striking still the ethical note ii in the realms of public morals. England t! can no longer say that the multi-mil- n lionaire can do anything he wants to ii in America. If any European reads p the American press the last week he will discover that so far from the people living in awe of the multi-million- t aire who outrages the laws of decency c and good morals he will close the pa- f pers with the idea that the aforemen- a tioned Croesus has had all the sewers u in forty cities emptied upon his be- e diamonded, talkative and much-be- fc trothed neck. o That cell also in the prison with its f Inmate warns all youth that legal abll- r ity, all the influence of friends and g money, avail nothing to keep a sue- 1 cessful lawyer who has perjured him- b self and helped conceal crime from going to his own place behind the bars, r Man wants money?but when a man s is hungry he must not eat coals of v fire. And when a man Is avaricious 1 he must not seek satisfaction by get- s ting money through crime and fraud. \ The whole nation is rising up to shake t oft its former lies, vices and sins. In t politics if a youth wants position and c preferment he must plead the cause of C the poor. In literature and Action if I the novelist wants to succeed he must a portray the triumph of honor and the t defeat of sham and humbug. If a t magazine wants to increase its circu- 1 lation it takes up some cause and be- 1 comes a voice for the public con- t science. On every side are young men t of ability and large mental acquire- r ments who have tried to get on by t adopting the low ethical ideals of the \ politicians of the <>U1 school, with the t result that these ambitious young men s are now utterly discredited and with- r out any hope of future preferment. Y Honesty is becoming a contagion, t It is an auspicious hour for our people, a It is the golden age for which the a fathers longed. And this new note of conscience in public life prophesies a new era of happiness and progress for e the people of the republic.?Rev. t Dwight L.

CUBAN JUSTICE. lueer Criminal Laws That Surprise Americans. The Cuban Idea of justice is a peuliar thing, writes a correspondent of he New York Sun, although it doesn't iffer very much from that in other .atin American countries, and one of he things the Americans want most ? do is to revise the penal code. But here appears to be no demand for it ust now, and the chances for any hanges seem small. Not many months ago one of the ourts in Havana rendered two vericts on the same day. One man was entenced for stealing a mule and for alsely registering him as his own. He ot six years for stealing the mule and ight years for making the false regitration. a total of fourteen years in rison. On the same day the court sentenced man for killing his mistress. It was peculiarly brutal crime. The man nd woman had separated. They met fter a couple of months on the street nd the man begged the woman to ream to him. She refused. He beame violent And she ran, turning into he first open doorway. There he over30k her, stabbed her repeatedly, sevral times after life must have passed way, and was then arrested. He got lvo years in the penitentiary. And according to the statutes the adge did nothing illegal. The man as proved to be "obscado," or beside imself, and the crime was "passional." !ut had the woman killed the man he would probably have been sent up 31* life or possibly sent to the gar?te. The policeman of Havana is an auacrat. He can do Just as he pleases nd any resistance whatever of his uthority Is a serious matter. There i a standing sentence for striking or ven pushing a cop around. It Is now ne year four months and seven days, t used to be two years eight months nd fourteen days. It was so fixed on be books of law and was unalterable, 'he policeman makes an arrest. If he ? resisted by his prisoners he can file harges to that effect and the prisoner lust prove his Innocence. The theory bat one Is guilty until proved innoent runs through the whole thing. An American here awoke one night 3 find a burglar in his room. He got p to chase him out. A fight ensued, 1 which the American shot the burgir in the leg. The police came and be American was arrested for shootig the thief. This American has Inuence, but it took all he could muster r> keep out of jail, and the case was ot finally settled until he had paid the urglar $5,000 for that damaged leg. Inder the law the American had no Ight to shoot, and by so doing he was uilty of attempted homicide. It Is ery difficult for Americans coming to !uba to understand the system and bey often get into trouble. Another odd thing happens when here is a fire. The fire department is, f course, called out, and the police ollow along. The police arrest the wner of the establishment which Is urning and hold him until he proves ntlre Innocence. It is said that this 5 on the theory that whenever there i a fire the owner of the property must ave started it. If a person Is injured in the street o one Is allowed to touch him until he judge of instruction gets to the pot. Sometimes an injured person rill lie for hours, perhaps in the hot un, with two or three policemen standlg around keeping the onowd back un11 the arrival of the judge. It makes o difference if the man might be dylg?it is the law, and must be resected. In the Press Gaiaerib3.?In the hree galleries of the two houses of ongress at Washington, says the Cnoxvllle Journal and Tribune, there re a number of hardworking, modest, inassumlng gentlemen, who keep an ye on what is going on In the halls ielow for the metropolitan newspapers >f the country. Congressman Llttleleld of Maine, recently made the renark: "I sometimes think that congress would drift into many excesses f the press gallery were not here to :eep us within bounds." It is no doubt a truth that many a nember of congress, when tempted to ay and do things of the correctness of vhich he has been In doubt, has kept n his mind that there were close oblervers in the press gallery above vho were there taking notes and that hey would print them.

How Frostbite Comes.?The first ffect of cold on the skin is to conract the tiny vessels that connect areries and veins. Arteries are vessels hat take blood from the heart. Veins re those that.bring blood back to the leart, and the connecting vessels are ailed capillaries. While these little essels are contracting the skin itself lecomes tenser. In a few moments or ninutes the effects change. The tiny lerves whose stimulation caused conraction of the capillaries are more or ess paralyzed, and the vessels dilate o the skin gets red. Soon the veins re dilated, and the skin becomes biuih. Then the nutrient fluid in the kin (the lymph) is coagulated, and he stretched skin ruptures or "chaps." f the cold is more severe its action is eeper, and the blood itself may be oaguluted. This is frostbite. CITY OF PRECIOUS STONES. Romance of Kimberly Whence Come | Millions In Diamonds. A prosperous world expends every year $25,000,000 in rough diamonds, and such of them as do not come from 1 the mines of Kimberly may be consid- , ered a negligible quantity, says the i World Today. A very dreary town, this Kimberly, dumped on the desolate j African veldt that produces not an ear \ * T Ufl/V <*> I (>I uwi ii. iJiuic ucuci 111 (Xi i a uracil, in > fact, where artificial irrigation is ev- 1 ( erywhere necessary. The city's streets stretch like pro- i tecting arms around the precious caves which in a few years have yielded more than twelve tons' weight of diamonds, valued at half a billion dollars. , Look back on the story of this desert i patch and you have a strange romance. | It begins with two little bands of Boer , immigrants fleeing out of Cape Colony i a generation ago to escape British oppression. One of them by some strange 1 fate, settled on a patch of gold forty , miles In extent, which has since become the famous Rand and yields J 100,000.000 every year in the precious j metal. On the other hand, Burgher Jacobs 1 off-caddled on 100 acres of diamonds, and his little claim today contains an absolute monopoly of the world In these gems. His children used to play in the sand with bright pebbles for marbles. Neighbor Schalk Van Newkirk saw one of the stones, took It from the little ones with the remark that it might be valuable, and the following' year it was shown at the Universal Exposition of Paris as a magnificent diamond of 21 karats. Two years later old Van Newklrk himself picked out of the mud plaster of Neighbor du Tolt's hut the famous "Star of Africa," which sold for $56,000. That was the beginning of the diamond mines which today employ 15,000 Kaffirs and 4,000 Europeans. "All this for the vanity of women," as Lord Randolph Chorchlll remarked on his first visit to the diggings. Altogether the magic caves of South Africa turn out at least $20,000,000 worth of stones pverv vear. and the Dp Beers people are naturally the power of the African continent. Careful official calculation has It that fashionable New York alone wears $150,000,000 In precious stones. As to diamonds alone, $57,000,0000 worth of them In the rough were admitted Into New York within the last five or sir /ears. It Is estimated that the duty on stones brought Into America's greatest city during 1906 will amount to more than $4,000,000. or nearly half the entire appropriation for the expenses of the custom house.
