Light Thrown on tho Palronym of This Bril liant Finagler. [From tho Raleigh (N. 0.) Post] A new method of "making mouoy" ha* lovolopod ip Woatorn North Carolina md nppor South Carolin? wbloh ha? nad? those who started the enterprise loh, whilo those who booamo agenta are eallziug bountifully. This particular mtorprlao ls oallod "Tim Amos Owen /berry Tree Company," of''Rutherford! >ounty. What lt is, or what Its partlou ar mothods are, we have not learned. It tas developed to the degree that Bom>i of ?ur esteemed contemporaries, notably ho Charlot lo Oho or vor, have felt oalled ipon to suggest in unmistakable but nild terms that it 1B a "fako." But tho name is striking. A combina ion of "AmoH O won" and tho "Cherry Cree" would naturally inspire oonfidenoe n Western North Carolina. K vory sohool >oy knows tho virtue which has aUaohed o tho cherry tico si noe the days of George Washington, who afterwards ohiovod sotno distinction in grubbing ip another tree whioh had taken root on his side of tho Atlantic The "Amos ) won" prefix, however, is not so well .ppveclated by the wm ld at large. If our memory serves us well, a gen loman by that name who hailed from he Rutherford neighborhood or settle oent was an inveterate frequenter of the 'cdoral Court at Ashovillo during the ito Judge Dlok'fl administration, and as lorsiBtontly Intruded himself upon the ?tendant side of tho docket devoted to boso whoso "persuasion" lod them to ultivate tho worm whioh, though it loth in ono spot, lives to "run" in anc hor. Unole Amos was ono of .thoso in ouBoly loyal old patriots who believed his was a free country, and anything to ho contrary was duo solely to the per ioious aotlvity of the Federal Courts new invention of tho radioal party, BO nv as bis knowledge went-and its. min sus. "Before tho war" be had indulged n the oxhilorating, if not always profit bio, paatimo of converting tho corn of bo valleys into tho dow of tho tnouu ains, and thoro was none to make him fraid. It required frequent semi-annual isits to Ashovillo, and a serious but ympathotio interview on each oooaalon ?ith Judge Dlok, ending invariably with be kindly admonition, "$100 and costa," o convince the old gentleman that Unole am insisted on a "divido" In all suolv ndertakings. Af tor having gone through ii i K performance timo after timo, and bo namo of "Amos Owen" was again ailed into court, tho amiable and kind loarted judge ventured to oxpress sur rlBo, not unmlnglod with disappoint ?ont aud a little disgust, that such binga could bo yoar in and yoar out, nd addressing the vonorablo defendant, lid; "Amos, I am surprised to soe you ere again, after tho lenienoy of tho ourt in tho past and your solemn prom lo that you would not vi ola to tho law gain. I BOO I must bo more severe with ou. You have given, this oourt a groat eal of troublo"- ^ And right hore was Amos*'opportunity nd bo seized it with both hands. He iterruptod, with that sharp, shrill voioo f bis, and with a dead earnestness in is bluo eyes, said, "YOB, jodgo, aud this ourt has gin mo a groat deal of trouble; 90." Amos went homo with tho ur, rial "$100 nd costs." And wosuspeot tho "$100," . itli all its predecessors, stands on the ooket to his "credit" to this day, but ovor adding anything to Unolo Sam's roasury< If a "Cherry Troo" enterprise has been urned loose upon our Woatorn friends rith tho patronymioal endorsomont of bo "Amos Owon" of old, we are not'sUr risod that lt bas boon a bowling success rom tho start.

Atlanta, Ga., December 0.-Editors Koo woo Courier: I see in last week's Courier a letter from Mr. Novitt L. Fant commoutiog on the reoent railroad v/rock on tho Wabash Railroad, in whioh so many lives were lout. Ho expresses himself very f oroibly against giving offl oial train orders to conductors and engi neers alone. Ho also states that either Would fool highly insulted should a brakeman or fireman ask for information 'regarding telegraphic train ordors, oto. 1 ' Mr. Fant ls either misinformed or has not inquired into tho subject. AU first class railroads have a standard codo of rulos covering such oases, and ono of tho most important is that conductors will read or glvo to the brakemen, and tho engineer to tho Aroman, their ordors; for, in oaao of an accident resulting from overlooking ordors, all tho train orew aro held equally responsible Mr. Fant oan very easily substantiate this by asking any up-to-date railroad mau. Wo, as engineers and conductors, are all human and apt to roako mistakes, but Mr. Faut's artiole is unjust to a class of mon whoso responsibilities aro hoavy and who strive to disobargo their duties woll and carry safely through tho thousands of lives entrusted to our oare. Any requirement that would lighten our responsibilities or assist us In our work would be cheer fully received. Should an ofiicor bo placed on all trains for that purposo alone, it might hoip; but he is human, as wo are, and just as apt to make mis takes. Wishing muoh s ncc os s to tho "Old Courier,'' as it is always Uko a lotter from home, I remain, yours truly, Julian J, Novillo, Engineer Southern Railway. . i? ? ? White Han Turned Teltow.

Anderson, Dooember 8.-Late yester day afternoon Oliver Groor, a negro about twenty years old, committed a criminal assault upon Miss Rebecca unu Kelley, a maldon lady about ilfty-flvo years old, who lived alono in a house about two miles above Bolton, in this oounty. Deputy Sheriff Billingham was noti fied of the orimo about two hours after Its ocourrOnoe, and wont at onoo to tho scone with his bloodhound. Tho dog struok a trail at tho house and followed lt direotly to a negro oabln about 2 milos distant. Five negroes woro arrested and carried before Miss Kelly, who promptly Identi fied Greer as her assailant. A largo orowd had collected, the mom j hors of whioh woro determined to lynoh the negro, but tho o Alcorn succeed od in eluding them, and brought tho prisonor hore through tho country and landed him in jail about daylight this morning. There is no anticipation now of an at tempt to tako tho prisonor from tho jail. Tho negro has talked but little, but has practically admitted his guilt Miss Kelly, the viotlm, is said to bo in a very Borious condition. Lust spring her houso was broken into and an unsuccessful attempt at assault .was made Sinoo then she nae spont tho nights with a noighbor, staying at her own house only tu daytime. It ls thought that tho negro now -in jail may be guilty of that orimo also. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Hakes Ton Miserable.

Editors Courier: Hard times is the cry. Every ono you moot begins his or her conversation hy roforrlug to the timos. "Tho times aro tho worst I've ever soon" Is tho almost universal grooting. Well, timos are hard oompared to what wo oxpeoted, but not nearly so hard as they might have boon. Talking about thom won't do any good. There is some oause for this condition. What is it? Havo we not lived too muoh beyond our moans? Have we devoted as much attention to our oropa as wo should? Espeolally did we dovoto as muoh attention to grain, food stuffs, potatoes and suoh things as go to make us indopondent, as wo should? Lam afraid not. Woll, now is tho vory time to think' about theso things, so as to avoid hoing in tho same or worse con ditton another year. . Peoplo oan't pay out of debt, you say. Unfortunately some of them cannot. Kow is it not a fact that a great many of thone peoplo bought some things they oould have left off, or at least bought quito a lot of things thoy oould easily havo produood at homo? You munt answor yea. Thon now is the vory time to bogin preparing to avoid suoh a thing In the futuro. And perhaps some one OIBO ia a little to blame, too. Speaking with one of the boat merchants in tho county recently, ho said i "We merohants aro to blame largely. A man comos to us in tho spring and wanta forty or fifty dollars' worth of advanoes to make a orop. We know ho ought to pay that amount, and, of conreo, let him make a start. Tho first thing we know ho has taken up the amount and the orop only half dono, perhaps-or at host has to. bo gathered. Now, what aro wo to do but feed him on or loso tho first amount? Wo go ahead, you might say, sending good money after bad until tho result ia he owes about twice as muoh as ho can pay." That's it. The merohant ia somo to blamo, too. Tighten down, gentlemen; tighten down on us. We will cuss you if you do-but, then, wo ouse you when you don't. It will bo tho beat for us and you,*too, in tho long run. By ttio way, there is a beautlsul little "got rich quick" Bohemo being worked in thia section. Tho Courier told us about lt some timo ago, but it ia still going. Wo know a fow young ladies who sont $25.00 r.nd a lot of subscribers to a paper published In "the Land of Flowers" and wore to get a- watch or bicycle as a pre mium. This, of courso, was only an introduction, as thoy woro to be regu larly employed at a handsome salary to work otb ora into tho sob onie. The pre miums havo not como, but tho young ladies have letters aaying that thoy will come, though it will bo "some time" bo foro thoy arrive. This, read between tho lines, moana "go way back and Bit down." But don't despair, my friends. Tho samo party will spring up again somo timo with a now Boheme, and aa ho already has your addresses, it ia more than likely he will lot yon in on tho ground floor. And speaking of this reminds us of something else. The young ladlee are not tho only onoa being worked. The price of cotton and the government re port as to orop are oausing the country to bo floodod with sobornes for speculat ing in futuroB.
