Edffefield Advertiser Tl? OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24,1897. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. At the opening of this court on Monday last and before entering npon the civil business, Judge Aldrich rendered his decision on the motion made for a [new trial in the case :>f tke State vs. "Whit lock and ably argued by MeBsrs. J, W. Devore and S. M. Smith, E8qrs., The Judge granted the new trial and the first verdict of guilty was set aside. The motion to grant a new trial to Hilary Dorn was denied and he is already at work on the chain gang under the supervision of Capt. A. V. Moigan. The Townes case, in which Messrs. W. G. and H. H. Townes are sueing the city of Augusta for damages to land on account of the overflow thereof at or near the Locks, was non-suited upon mo tion and argument of Sheppard Bros. Messrs. Croft and Tillman represented the Townes Bros. This case may go to thc Supreme court. In the case of James Steifle vs. Frank and Jasper Rush, a suit for the recovery of possession of land, the Judge granted a new trial upon motion of Sheppard Bros., for the defendant; Messrs. A. S. Tomp kins and E. G. Graydon of Abbe ville representing the plaintiffs. H.H.Turner suing the cDunty * for damages sustained by falling from his wagon, said fall being occasioned by a monstrous mud hole in the road, got a verdict for $75. The plaintiff was represent ed by S. McG. Simkinp, the de fendant by N. G. Evans, Esq. S Court adjourned on Tuesday of this week. NEW PENSION LAW. The new pension law having complicated matters it is doubt ful if pensioners receive their money before August. The Co lumbia Register has this to say anent the matter: fThe wholo machinery of the Pen sion Department has to be done over by reason of the new law and while there was a great deal of kicking last year over delayi, there .'. likely to be a mighty howl this year. But it can't be helped. The following is a brief synopsis of the law : . 1. The surviving soldiers and efl^CuWctefTTCy* Of the State du ring the late war between the States are to meet on . a conve nient day prior to May, 1897, in -fcflSTseveral townships of this State, and after organizing by the emo tion of a chairman and secretary, shall elect by a majority vote three of their members or reputable cit izens who are not applicants for pensions, who sha'l constitute the examining board of pensions for each township. 2. The township boards are to elect one of their members as chairman. 3. All applications for pensions are to be made to the township boards whose duty it shall be to decide to which class the appli cant belongs. 4. The several township boards are to meet before the first Monday in May, 1897, for the purpose of considering applications, and with in ten days thereafter the County examining board shall meet to settle all disputes and contests. 5. In selecting pensioners from among the applicants, tho board shall have regard to their physical condition and financial means, al lowing to each applicant so se lected the sum of $6, $4, and $8 per month, as they may be enti tled to under the law. 6. The members of the township boards are to serxe without com pensation. 7. The chairman of the town ship boards are to meet at the coun ty seat within ten days after their own election, and shall organize by electing a chairman and secre tary. When organized they are to elect four of their members and a regular practicing physi cian, who are to constitute the county examining board, which is to meet on the first Monday in May, 1897. 8. The members of the County Boards are to receive $1 per dav and 5 cents per mile one way, the per diem and mileage not to ex ceed $8 each in a year. 8. The pensions are to be paid not later than June 15." The Powers have blockadad Crete, but have not intimidated Greece, whose government is hur rying troops to the Turkish fron tier and making other prepara tions to fight single handed against allied Europe. Two women, one from New Hampshire and ono from Iowa, are asking President McKinley for consular positions. THE MISSISSIPPI RAGING. The situation in the Mississippi Talley continues serious. The river is still rising and the floods in creasing in volume and destruc tive force. The river is rising at the rate of half a foot per day and already a territory has been en gulfed equal in area to the whole State of Missouri. Millions of dol lars have already been lost by the flood. Advices from Cairo, Paducah, Memphis and Helena show that the region beginning north of New Madrid, Missouri, west to and in cluding the valleys of the St. Fran cis, the White and the Arkansas rivers in Arkansas, east in Kentucky and Tennessae, the val leys of the Tennessee, the Cache, the Obion and the Yazoo rivers, and south to the Red river are un der water. The intervening ranges of hills and high ?round are the only place of refuge. The dis patches received tell but one story-lives lost, stock drowned and a country desolated. At Cairo, Illinois., the river roached 5.9 and rising slowly, which is but one foot short of the high record of 1883. All the country south of there to lujmpbis is submerged. A relief steamer from the flats be low Bird's Point brought in four families. It is reported that a flat boat, containing a number of peo ple was sunk at Island No. 10. All the coal fields in the valley of Forked Deer river in Tennessee are under water. The Memphis Relief association has five boals at work. These boats go to points that aie 20 miles from streams navigable in ordinary stages of water. The unanimous opinion of St. Louis river men is that con ditions must become worse before there can be permanent relief. They say that numerous breaks in lower levees are really blessings as they are natural outlets for the deluge that is certain t") come from the melting snows of the north. Gen. Wade Hampton in very ill in Washington. Moody, the great evangelist, is a Baptist. A $750,000 fire occurred in St. Louis last week. A bank in San Jose, Cal., bas a woman cashier. A cyclone swept throngh Texas, Louisiana and other Gulf States Bob Fitzsimmons is now the champion pugilist of the world having beaten Jim Corbett in an encounter in Nevada on the 17th instant. The President has appointed John Hay, of the District of Co lumbia ambassador to Great Brit and Horace Porter of New York ambassador to France. By a law of Massachusetts un married women and widows of small estate are exempt from tax ation-a truer gallantry than that practised by the men of any Southern State. It is said the comptroller gener al has concluded to levy the sup plementary school tax provided for in tho State constitution to make up an amount sufficient to give the enrolled pupils in the public schools of the State $3 per capita. The Cuban forces continue to do all they can to harass the Span iards. Their latest exploit was blowing up a train on which were six hundred Spanish soldiers, three hundred of whom were killed and wounded. While the republicans are ar ranging a protective tariff it would be well for them not to slight the product of any section. Congress man McLaurin, of South Carolina, has demanded that a duty of 2A conts per pound be placed on cot ton, which is imported in large quantities from Egypt and other countries. McLaurin failed to se cure protection for cotton, but the project has not bet-u given up and the Southern farmer may yet be happy. ONE OF THE MEAN ONES. Might Havo Been Mean Enough to Hav? Stolen Hia Inheritance. Four or five preachers, at a preachers' meeting, or, rather, after the meeting was over, were discussing some of tho peculiar people they had been brought into contact with during their various pastorates. "The very meanest man I ever knew, " said a paster, whose nasal twang be trayed bis Yankee origin, "was a mar ried man. though, us a rule, the really meanest mon aro bachelors for obvious reasons. "This party was fairly well to do and expected to be enriched by the death of au old uncle to the extent of at least $100,000. He was a man of about 45 and was, on the surface, an extremely pious kind of a mau, with strict ideas of biblical interpretations. At this time tho rich old uncle-a millionaire, by the way-was approaching the scrip tural limit of human existence-three score and ten-and his pious nephe"7 had begun ?o -j^ure ou v ??i t he was go ing to do with bis share of tho old man's fortune. The latter, however, did not hold to scriptural interpretations, but held on until he was 91 years old. Then he departed, and as per expectation, when the estate was stitt led np the pious nephew received $100,000, more or less. "He ought to have been satisfied, of course, but he wasn't, and after mouth ing around about bis hard luck, he finally capped the climax by suing the trustees of the residue of the estate, which had been willed to charity, for the interest on $100,000 at 6 percent for the time that elapsed between the three score and ten limit and the date of the death of his uncle, a period of 21 years 8 mouths, the whole amount of interest being $127,500. He even went so far as to swear that 6 per cent was too low, and that he could have got 8 right along for the whole time if the old mau had died when the Bible said he ought to die. Being in the fam ily, however, he was willing to discount the rate of interest 25 per cent Now, did you tier hear of anything worse than that?" And not a maa there did.-Wash ington Star. NATURE AS AN ARTIST. Stone Formation! on Which Were Found Some Wonderful Picture?. Pliny, a well known writer of about the time of Christ, mentions havii::: seen an agate the lines and markings of i which formed a perfect pic ivra of Apollo and the nine muses. Pliny says that the little children recognized it on sight lu this wonderful natural picture, aa well as the artificial drawings, Apollo was represented seated in the midst of the muses, harp in band. Majolus, another writer of high stand ing, saw au agate in the collection of a jeweler at Venice which, when polish ed, showed a perfect picture of a shep herd with a crook in hand and cloak thrown loosely over his shoulders. In the church of St. John, at Pisa, Italy, there is a piece of stone heavily marked with red, blue and yellow spar, the lines representing an old man with heavy white beard, with a bell in his hand, seated beside a small stream. To the worshipers at St. John's it is known as the St. Anthony stone, the picture upon it being a perfect likeness of that saint, even to the minor details of tunio and bell. lu 1605 some quarrymen in Italy burst open a slab of marble, both sides of which contained au image of St. John the Baptist covered with the skin of a camel. Everything was true to nature -a single exception, the saint had only been provided with one leg and foot. How, when or upon what pretext the Turka were allowed to gain possession of the wonderful relic the writer's au thority fails to state. It only adds that the miraculous production is now in the temple of St. Sophia at Constantinople. Directly after the great Johnstown flood D. S. Wingrove, superintendent of tho marble yard at the penitentiary at Baltimore, found a slab of marble with lines and veins which made a perfect picture of the fated city of Johnstown and tho surronndiug country Thc sky is plainly marked, e.s are also the hills and mountains surrounding the town. Piles upon piles of ruins are marked, with an occasional steeple or toppling wall overhanging the scene of awful de struction. Taken all in all, the scien tists consider it one of the most wonder ful natural formations over found in America.-Brooklyn Eagle EVE ETERNALLY CONFUSED. " ~ "^?kf** Pt?lff1f?A *\# TT'- --- *-- - . As a, Cedar motor and trailer approach ed Wilson avenue recently a woman was noticed dodging about the middle of the street. She was evidently hesitating as to which way to go, but finally crossed to the south track and stood there. "Crossover to the other side 1" roared a group of men on the corner. "Look out for the carl" screamed a woman on the sidewalk. The motorman clanged his bell and shouted, and the woman dodged out of harm's way. Then, as the train slowed dowu, she trotted alougsido of the trail er. "Her?, where are you?" shouted the conductor. In answer to the appeal the woman suddenly appeared around the rear of the trailer and put one foot on the step. Then she changed her mind and trotted to the front end of the car. Here she climbed up and came iu the front door. The conductor snapped the bell, and the train started suddenly, tumbling the newcomer on to a fat man. As she straightened up she said: "This car is goiug to Fairmount street, isn't it?" "No, ma'am," replied the conductor, "it's going right tho other way." "There, I just thought it was!" cried the woman. " Bnt you all yelled at me so that I got confused. I don't want to go on this car. Let me off. " So the conductor let her off at the next stopping place, and the last the passengers saw of her she was standing on the wrong side of the street waiting for an eastward bound car.-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Testing Coal. An apparatus by which an engineer may test or determine the quality and adaption of the coal he receives is de scribed in the Boston Journal of Com merce. The test is not intended to be an analysis, but principally to show thc amount of fixed carbon in the coal and the percen tage of ash. As each carload is received samples are taken from 20 or more parts of the car, thoroughly mixed and quartered, each quarter being also mixed and quartered until the sample is obtained. This sample is then carefully weighed, the volatile matter driven off. weighed again, and the carbon consumed, and the ash weighed This estimate is important in guarding against the use of coal having au undue percentage of aeh. The various coals differ in the per centage of ash which they contain, some Cumberland coals having from 12 to 14 per cent of ash, while a good New river will have as low as 8 or 4 per cent. Thus, though the coals may look alike to the average engineer, the heat value characterizing them is 10 per cent great er in one description than the other, and, ascertaining this, an important saving in the cost of fuel may result .

How an Odd Signal Agreed Upon by Brothers, Who Were on Opposite Side n, Was Finally Uiied-A Mystery the Old Soldier Didn't Iry to Explain. As the reporter was rapidly hurrying past the door of a saloon he was met by an old soldier, who suggestively tipped his hat "If you will tell me a story," re marked the reporter, accepting the tip, "I'll pay for the potations. I have a thirst for a story; you have a thirst for a drink. Let us exchange. " The veteran was quick to respond, as the parched soil responds to the grateful rain, and, opening the door, he bowed the reporter in aud escorted him to a ta ble in a quiet corner, where presently the potables were served. "I don't think I could have earned what I am now BO greatly and grate fully enjoying," said the veteran, with a glowing cheek, as he set down his glass, after a long swallow, "had it not been that today I met an old comrade from Kentucky, a state, yon will re member, which had soldiers in both armies, and gocd soldiers, I may add. This man, who is now a merchant and comes to New York to buy goods every year, was in the Federal army, and he had a nephew in the same regiment with himself and another in the Confed erate army. The young chaps were brothers, and they were mighty fond of each other, but they were fonder of their principles or patriotism or politics, or whatever you may call it, so they agreed to disagree, and eachfone go to tho aide he thought was the right side. "It was a sad parting, foi they had been closer together than most brothers, and before i hey separated they fixed up a kind of signal ti) identify themselves by, so that -f one waa wounded and left on the field he could uotify the other if it happened they were on the opposite sides in that particular fight lt was a boyish kind of a lottery chance of one in a million, but it suited them, and that's all they cared foi The signal ar rangement was to be a light chain with a note fastened to it, and the whole thing was to be fastened to thc bullet and dropped into the old muskets they had in those days. This was tQ_b_e irr?el at random up into the air to fall among the soldiers of the opposite side to be picked up a? it might and taken to the man whose' address was in the note, along with other instructions to -be fol lowed out by the brother who might be in condition to <?o it. You can .we how childish and almost imposable it was, but there v.us just that chance in it that mane it attractive to the boys, and they told each ether goodly and we :.t ihpir ways, the one to the north, the other to the south, each bearing with him his chaiu and note cf identification attached to the Lit of li ::? that some day might bear on its wings thc m essa go of deal h. " The veteran was becoming poetic and pathetic, and the reporter tug;,'! Bred a refilling cf thc glasses, nnd i l;c s\:{:gos tion met with immediate and pleased approval. "For the first two years," continued the veteran, "thc boys hadn't any occa sion to usc their signals, ior they had gone through unscathed, and, besides, they were serving in sections of the country widely separated, but in 1868, in the fall, they were with the armies fighting through Tennessee, though they had lost track of each other except in a general way. . m?^?'TOfii?r^ where in the neighborhood of Knoxville, in which 5l)0 or 600 men ou a 6ide were engaged, without result, and both sides had settled down for the night to wait and fight it out by daylight. There were a lot of wounded men, and dead ones, too, for that matter, scattered through the woods, where most of the fighting had been. There was a cornfield about a quarter of a mile wide separat ing the woods, and there had been some scrapping in this open ground, though most of die fighting had been done from cover, as these small skirmish line fights geuerally are. "I was corporal of the guard that night, and by ? o'clock there was only an occasional shot, as if each side was quitting reluctantly and by inches. 1 am not positive, but it seems to methat I heard thc loot two shots before still ness settled over all. What the details of the romance, or the tragedy, or what ever you want to call it, are I .'jn't know. I know, though, that during the night we had re-enforcements, and when we began to cautiously peep around, as soon as the day began to break, we dis covered that the enemy had by some hook or crook taken alarm and departed in the night, leaving their dead on the field, and among them, when we sent out our burying party, we round one of those boys with a bullet through his laug and another, bearing a chaiu and a note, buripd tn his brain. On our side we found the other nephew with both legs broken by a ball and a bullet through his heart, with a chain and uote attached to it. " The reporter threw up bis hands in amazement, not to oay doubt "I don't try to explain it. " the veter an hastened to say apologetically. "I know it is hard to explain. It is even hard to believe, but what is a man to do or to say when he sees such things with his own eyes?"-New York Sun.
