''Do you know," said a man who Was
selling jewelry from u dry goods box to o
reporter, "that tho Amerioaus uro tho
easiest humbugged of uuy in tho world?
Jt is true und 1 have helped to humbug
them about as much os tho averuge man."
Somebody bud just been rcudiug au account
of tho Louisville lottery druwing which
brought forth this sproch.
"Cuu't you tell us some of your ex??
pcrience in that line?" asked n mun near.
"Well, you would luugh lo know what
fools pcoplo make of themselves sometimes
About two years ugo I was down in Bruns
wick, where L saw a follow running u per
fectly Equate game, but which was thc
most out und out stcul J. ever beard of. His
plun was simple, und hundreds of the very
best people of the town flocked to give him
a liiul. lie rented a store und put a show
cose across the counter in tho centre. In j
thc show caso he hud, 1 know, my hut full
of len and twenty dollar gold coins, piled <
in a heap in one corner, und in the other
about thc same sized pile of silver dollars. -
A dice box and BIX dice completed his !
ont li t. Ry paying half a dollar u mau bad !
ono throw with thc dice. If he threw six I
sixes ho took thc entire pile of gold; if ho :
threw six aces he was entitled to all thc j
silver. Of course no one ever threw ull
(bc sixes, neither was it possible to gel the !
aces to como ull io a bunch. A man '
might us well expect to get struck by
lightning from u clowdless sky at noonday
as to throw six aces; it is utmost un im?'
possibility, that's all. Well, thc fellow
made several hundred dollurs and left " j
'.Did you ever hear of how easy it is to
fool u man with soap?' continued toe
talker "We street men know that ns un1
old story, of courue. 1 was down to Troy,
Ala,, several months ago when a fellow
come ulong utmost strapped. Ile went to,
a grocery store, bought ll lew bum of ?his
transparent soup, cut it into small pieces
about thc size of one's thumb, wrapped it
in colored tissue paper very neatly, and
then cover'd tho package with tin foil, :
sprinkling tho whole with e bottle of j
cologne lo give it n good smell Well, sir,
thia fellow got on u box and soon gathered |
a crowd by some nice talking, and proposed j
to lake out all tho grease from hats, coats*
tfeo , I hut could bo brutight iu Tbc first
case presented was thc city marshal, who
Walked up with a great spot on his co it |
which he wanted taken out. Tho fellow
carried u sponge well saturated with ben- '
zinc uuu arnica, which nf itself will take |
out most anything, and by using a hit of
the soap Boon hud thc marshall's coat cn
ti rely tree from grease That started the
soap sales, and in two or three hours, it
beiug Saturday and a crowd in town, thc
soap mau hud sold 836 worth, nearly all of
which wnB olear profit."
Stopping to draw a long breath thc
jewelry man oootinurd bia interesting story
"1 tell you you cnn humbug anybody I I
nm not unlike tho rc6t of the world. 1 I
believe I would bite nt my own tricks if I
could only get in thc crowd "
"NVhilo 1 was ot Brunswick, On., some
limo ago 1 took revengo on thu town by
playing what wo term tho 'give nwoy
racket.' It is u mighty fine thing to play,
but very dangerous one in nome localities
I hud been using a big umbrella, large
enough to oovcr fifty people, wheo ono
night on tho street n crowd of sailors, led
on by some of the town boys, threw rotten
eggs nt tho umbrella and broko up thc
crowd. Then I resolved on tho 'givo oway
racket.' A fellow has tobo mighty careful
about working it or ho will get caught out.
It can only bc p'uycd once in n town.
..The way to do it is this: Oct a lot of
fine gold rings which eoht about a dollar a
dozen and proposo lo bo advertising some
big gold concern in New York. I called
minc tho grent brazed gold of San Fran
cisco, stated that I would BIIOW tho orowd a
tiling or two, und noon goot them interested.
First, I made a speech in which 1 stoled
my bu?iness; then 1 commenced to offer
i tho rings nt any price from two cents up,
telling them they could not bc bought for
less than four dollars ?piece at a jeweller's.
I lot out about twenty rings at about two
cents, and then asked everybody who bad
i bought ringa to hold them up. Instantly
every ring was in tho air. 'Now/ said 1
aadressing tho crowd, Uhis is your money,
is it?' 'Yea,' said a dozen. 'And you give
it up freoly for tho rings?' ?Yes,' oatno
airain in ohorus. 'Very well, hero's twooty
cents for you, sir and twenty oonts for you,
sir,' and PO on around the crowd, 'lhoy
commenced to wonder what io tho world
I rueaot; 8uid I was crazy and a lot of
other things; but I only told thom tliut I
wat? advertising goods for my house and
bsd plenty moro things to givo away. |
Next I tonk up somo of my handsome dia
mond studs, which I explained were Lake
George diamonds, equal to any on coull,
&o., and that I was going to sell thom from
2b couts up; tho moro ono puid ibo butter
it would be. of conran, for him. Twenty
studs were sold and tho stimcspecoh made.
Then I made tho crowd hold up thc din?
monda, und each mun got lift y cunts back
who had bought,
"Thc tiling began to cet very interesting
und tho crowd numbered 300 or 400. Thon
1 got out Si/mo gold plated alcevo buttons
which I explained could not bo bought
for lens than $12. These I proposed
to sell for fifty cents each, giving to all who
bought a dollar additional ns beforo, earh
time doubling the money gift. Tho buttons
soon trout off us did thc other things, end
I was ready for thc Gnni 'bite' nt tho orowd.
The twenty puir of sleeve buttons had bren
sold for half u dollar und 1 bud given back
twenty silver dollars. 'That fellow's u durn
foo),' 1 heard all around me, but L replied
to this by Guying that last week, in Macon,
I hud given away ?1,600 and that I was
ready to do it again.
"Thc orowd was perfectly crated to ?ce
whet carno next. It was watch chains.
The chains 1 wus lo sell ut nny prioe from
$2.50 to anything nbovo that ouc wanted to
give, I telling them thc while tho moro
they paid thc better it would bc fer thom.
I hinted that thc watches would como next,
und this let thctn off liko a lot of madmen.
The trick was now to sell us many chains
as possible at ?2 50 I bud a devil of o
lot of chains and 60 I sent them out right
and left. Tho dol?ais caine rushing blindly
at inc and I inked them in like chuff Then
I got nut of chains
"Previously 1 had prepared two big red
silk handkerchiefs, exactly alike, mid us
soon ns thc chains were nil sold I took thc
money, and, in tho presence of thc crowd,
tied it Up all together, und after mukiug a
speech proposed to throw thc bundle in thc
orowd for tho best mun to take. While
talking ' I purposely dropped tho bundle
into my little box by my Ride in which I
hud thc oilier handkerchief. In this w?s
ton dollars in silver und some paper ta
mako it stand out and look like thc one 1
had dropped. All this hud been arranged
beforehand, of* course. With n swoop 1
swung the bag around my bend nfrcr stoop
ing to pick it up where I first dropped il
und up it went into the uir. Great heaven?!
you should huvu seen thc mob! I never
suw vnything like it They fought like
tigers over the handkerchief, while I took
occasion to leave tho spot. I hud also
arranged to bring the thing to a o'iuiax
about thc time tho Albany Hain left; so I
wus driven Ht once to tho depot. I WHS
just $280 ahead. Hut I got veiy wonk In
thc knees while wailing ut tho depot. I
was a little too soon uni] about u dozen
young men ran up raising the very mischief
ol u noise, Which I thought was for me and
it proved to be true They saw mc und
Carno around mc laughing and knocking
each other like crazy men I didn't h now
what on earth was tho mutter until they
iii)? I ly told mc it wus thu best joke that
hud ever been played on brunswick, und,
although they had been victimized, they
wanted to ussure mu that it was all right.
"I hud sold thc chains to nearly nil I he
best men in Brunswick, some of them
paying nm ns high us fivo dollars for them.
I was satisfied lo bravo and hud my revenge
You may put it. down for a fact tlmt any

TUB VALUE OK Orr. MILLS-On the
sU'-jce? of establishing a cottonseed oil mill

It is shown by rcnsouablo calculations that

FACTS.
One oonoo of facts is wot) worth a too of
bold assertions, unsupported by evidence
aod coutrary I to reoeuo and common sonso,
? nd a Bingie grain will often make moo
Yvoudor tbut tliey oould hevo been so cosily
duped into helioviii|; that which s little
reflection would huro shown thom tobo
absurd Our people were treated to a stood
deal of cumpaigo gush about the propriety,
yea, tho absolute necessity of building up
a State University ut Columbia out of the
hurd eurncu money of tho taxpayers. How
g m n d and glorious was tho idoa tliut tho 1
State, tho n ifi ce n i motlier of us all, bos
opened a grout university and extended the
invitation to ull ber young men who arc
uot ublc to pav tuition ut the other colleges
io ber borders: i
"Come tome without money and without i
price. I will givo you to drink deep
draughts from the Pierian Spring. I will <

tho tree of kuowlcdgc, Tuition shall bc
UH free no the water cr tho winds that, blow i
You shall have u higher education thou you
cuu get ut tho other colleges in thc ?State 1
for less money."
We were told that Welford and Adner
and Furmao und Newberry and Krskin
were all very well in their way, but tho
educational ladder would never bo com
pletc until it roached from thc foundation
wall, the common Behool up to thc cap*
stone ol tho edifice, a grand central uni
versity, to which young men may resort
after they have exhausted thc meagre sup
ply of mental food furnished by the comm MI
school, thu a> udemy und tho curriculum ,
colleges. We were told that he State hud
already provided a liberal supply of milk
fer the babes, and ut the Inst session of thc
Legislature, as waa her bounden duty, she
provided incut, which could not bo obtaiued
elsewhere, for ber starving young mon. So
lhiieh for theory und assertion. How aro
the fie ts? Wc have it on tho authority of
a professor in ooo of thc denominational
college.*, (not in this eouuty) himself a
distinguished educator, that u largo pro-,
proportion, wo cannot, Bay exactly how ?
grout, of tho students now at thc univer
sity ore not prepared to cuter tho freshman
class in any of our dcnomiouiiotial colleges.
Ile states further that a gentleman desired
to send his son to ouo of our denomina
tional cullcgc8, but found out thut his boy
could no( enter tho freshman. Ile then
determined to send him to un ucidcmy io
North Carolina to prepare for college

Wo were told that board oould be ob
tained in Columbia at from six to eight
dollars per month in messes. Mr. John

Harmon, of this county hus tried itC-? His
brother informed us hist week that when he
Drat went down lhere board in messes was

We buvo already mentioned thc fact that
tho Revised Statutes, tho latest law on tho
subject, provides that only ono student from

A man named Stacey, tho ownc t of n

signed the pledge lately nod closed the
house Hearing that a party of Iuds hud
formed themselves in u temperance society
he went to them und give them his expe
rience as a ruinscller. Wc repeat some of
his recollections:
"I sold liquor," said Mr. Stacy, "for
eleven years-long enough for me to seo
tho beginning and end of its effects. 1
have seen a man take Iiis first g'ns. of
liquor in my place and afterwards fill thc
giavc of a suicide. 1 have seen man after j
mun, wealthy and educated, como into my j
saloon who cannot now buy their dinner.!
I eau recall twenty euston.ces worth from
one hundred thousand to fivo hundred
thousand dollars who ure now without
money, place or friends."
Ho warned the boys against entering thc !
saloon on uny pretext Ile Mated that ho j
had seen many o young fellow, member of
u teat pera noe society, conic iu with u friend
und wait while he drank. "No, no," ho
would say, "I never touch it. Thanks till
the same." Presently, rallier than seem j
churlish, he would take a glass of sider or
harmless lemonade, "The lemonadewns
nothing," said thc rum.-ollcr, "but 1 knew
how it would end. The only safely, boys,

resolution, is outside tho door of thc
