Judge Rebukes Solicitor T^e Latter "aid to I lav# Wrongly Refe-red to Judges Undervalueing "Tracks" as Evidence. Uor. Char'ott^ Observer. Rennettsville, S. O., Dec. 3.? Duri' g the session ef court just closed for this county, while a negro was on trial, charged with burglary a?-d larceny, Solicitor ,f. M Johnson prosecuted the negro with his u?u?l vigor and said "that there was ft time in South Carolina when tracks were so ridiculed oy counsel, that judges caught on to the fashion, and one of them said a track alone was not sr.ffic:ent to con riot. Fortuna'ely the constitution of 1895 allows the jury alone to pass on questions of fact, and the judges cannot now toll juries that tracks cannot convict." Judge Buchanan took note of this remark and when he charged the jury he severely rebukefl the solicitor in the following language: "It never was tho cast m of judges to charye as to tho iusufh oiencv of trnckr and T am astonished at this statement of the solicitor. That pirt of his remarks should have noetic' on you. It is to be regretted that such an expression should have dropped from the solicitor's lips." Quite a ripple of excitement, was caused by the judge's re marks, while tin- solicitor sat perfectly still, his ev* s flashing rapidly, showing unimstikaMe signs of how deeply he felt the judge's piercing rebuke Judgments Against Kitgo and Duke.

Hrokers fought with each ether to cover whert contracts and the pei became a pandemonium fer several minutes after the report was received. For three hours thereafter the volume of business t rspsa<*ted was 4 e. i? o * enormous. Aii?i" tn? nrst advance of nearly f?rtv points si slump developed **hich carried prices nearly half way hack lo the quotations prevailing before the fignrp? were made known. Befere the close, however, the loss was regained and prices weie at the highest. The market was feverish during the morning trading and brokers were not incinding to enter into any commitments prior to the publication of the government report. The principal opinions were selling about 7.60 cents a pounds. Within three after the report was read the tape recorded advance of 40 points in all tho opinions. Every one talked 8 cent cottou and when the market closed brokers were wondering what influence tho report would have on Liverpool market fer it is generally understood that Liverpool estimates were exceedingly bearish.

Mr. A. P. Peueock, a millionaire steel manufacturer of Pittsburg, thinks he has improved upon Andrew Carnegie's plan of giving away his fortune. Mr. Peacock will riot build or miwImiv any libraries, but hus started out to buy homes and provide incomes for the worthy old frionds of his younger days. In Now Jersey the other day he presented two of his friends with homes and income* as Thanksgiving gifts, and said ho had other benefactions of the kind in view. He will not give indiscriminately, but only to tuch porssns as he personally knows to be worthy. This is rather a departure from the customary method of distributing fortunes.
