Death From A Fall Into a Well. '
Special to The State.
Anderson, Dec. 8.?While M:b
<) 11 L Hull, a most estimable
young woman living about 12
oiiles from here, in the lower part
of the county, was drawing a
bucket of water from a well (55
feet deep early this morning the
curbing around the weil gave way
and she fell to the bottom, sus.
?; ?:
iniuiug suveiu iiijuciuti. ner uusband,
who was near, immediately
wont down tho well on the rope
and caught his wife and held her
bead out of tho water, which was
deep, for over an hour before help
could be obtained. A physician
reached the scene shortly after
her removal from the well and it
was found that her injuries wore
fatal, and she died late this afternoon.
? A few days ago tho wife of
John Marsh,tho negro condemned
to death for rape, went to the jail
to see her husband, and Sheriff
Horn, noticing that tho woman
carried a small satchel, asked to
bo allowed to sea its contents.
Tho woman protested there was
nothing in the satchel, but when
it was opeBed it was found to contain
two large knives. Of course
tho knives did not go into the
jail.?Monroe Enquirer.

?Mossrs. Ellis Simpson and
Emanuel Helms, uf New Salem
township had a watery experience
which tkoy will not soon
forgot. They started to cross
Richardson's creek, which was
swollen by the rains, a few days
ago, and their wagon and team
of mules went down stream in
stead of cross it. Mossrs. Simp
8 ?u ami Helms left their Wilson
aD?l got ashore. "The mules were
cut loose some distance l>olow the
ford uud the wagon went a mile
or more down stream. A hog,
which was in a large box in the
wagon, floated out and went down
the strcum about a mile and a half
and was found two days later
floating in the box in which it
was fastened, alive and squealing

?According to the law in Now
York every bill passed by the
legislature must be passed on by
the attornoy general before the
governor can sign it. Wouldn't
it save a good deal of time and
windy discussion if the law re
quired bills of importance to go
v, through the same mill when presented?
And. by the way wouldn't
it be a good thing to adopt some
such regulation for bills introduced
in congress concerning which
there migi t be some doubt a>. to
their constitutionality, and to
make them phraseo'ogically clear
enough to show what tliwy moan,

Austin, Tux / l)cc. 7.?Three
portions of botindurv lines of the
Statu of Texas tire in dispute, the
latest being tho eastern line north
of Red liver. There has just
been tiled in the State Land Otlice
a report of work under the act of
Conijrress. of lPfll rpnnirinr* I I
, ? v/ A ) t lllil HIV
Secretary of the Interi. r to establish
the one hundredth mot idian,
which forme the eastern
boundary <?f Texas, from lied
river, in Childress county, north,
to and includiug Lipscom county.
It was lirst understood that the
now liuo would give Texas a strip
of ewlit miles of the Indian Territory,
but the report makes the
startling calculation and fixes the
meridian so that Texas loses a
strip of land three-fourths of a
mile wide, taking off that much
of the eastern edge of Lipscomb,
Heuiphill, Wheeler, Collingsworth
and Childress counties, a
total loss of 112 half-sectious, or
72,000 acres, which has always
been regarded as part of Texas.
If tliia '
>>IID VIMIIC1, 119 liUClJ* I1I1U KUU
is made permanent, the people
who own the property now on
tho west, formei ly on tho east
side of the line, will he without
title and lose the land as a deed
from Texas will he worthless.
This late location will stand unless
tho State of Texas can prevail
on Congress to nuthorizo a
joint survey and a new line to be
marked.

The Difference.
Sam Jones in one of his sermons
tells the following characteristic
story: Before I ever was a Christian
1 learned one thing and 1
want you to-huar this. 1 was away
from home and was robbed on
the train. 1 had all the money
me and my friend had. lie didn't
have any. Tiiey got mine?and
wo got oil' at the next station.
That was when I was a sinner,
and that was twonty .five years
ago. lie was a steward iu the
Methodist Church, and 1 was a
plain, common, simple sinner,
that was ull 1 was. When we
got off at tho station we strayed
around there a short time. He
says:
"Sam, 1 wonder if there is a
Mason in this town?" 1 said, "A
Mason?" lie said, "Yes."
"Well," 1 said, "what do you
wont with a M son?" Ho suid, "1
can get money if I can find a Mason."
I said, "Ain't you a Methodist?"
He said, "Yes." 1 said,
"Why don't you go to a Methodist?"
"Oh, shucks," he said,
"I go to the Mason," and he
struck out and in a few minutes ,
was back. 1 said, "How did you :
come out?" "All right," ho said. |
"1 got it." "Whom did you
got it from?" "From a Mason." .
He says, "Sam, if you want to
go to heuven, you join the Metho* J
dists; but if you want a hold
down hero you join the Masons." |
So when 1 started in 1 just joined;
both, and tonight I am a Metho-I
(list and a Mason, and 1 am get 1
ting along well for both worlds.

Washington, Dec. 8.? Presi

That's rejection number one of
'he programmo submitted to him
last week as furnishing a solution

preferred to have his headquarters
in Charleston. Friendp of
Crum are much crestfallen over
the announcement, as the fact
ttiat the president was considering
until today and with such care
the programme placed before
him last week had encouraged
them to believe the negro stood a
good chance to land in the internal
collectorship. The nogro
still remains south in the cold
and the president is still undecided
what, to do about tho marshal

port of Charleston. Ho is' said
