He wore long, white whiskers and a wide brimmed white felt . hat, and he stood six feet six. His boots were neatly blacked and he had on a new suit of clothes. It 1 was apparent that he was not at home 1 in his new toggery. He was going to California, he explained, to visit his 1 oldest son, who was a prosperous fruit J raiser on the coast. He had engaged a berth in the Pullman, and he asked 1 the conductor where it was. "Right here, sir," said the conduc- J tor, as he pointed out the section. "Do you sleep in that way all curled 1 up on a seat?" be asked in amaze- J meat. 1 "No, it will be made up when you are ready to retire. j "The man did not know exactly what "made up" meant, but he asked ' no more questions. He sat in the draw- ' ing room and smoked, and finally he ' said to the conductor : ! "Wess, I guess I'll turn in." 1 "All right, sir, your berth is made 1 up.' 1 "The man walked into the main part 1 of the car. Then he went back to the J drawing room. "They all look alike," he said, "you ; will have to show me mine." The conductor showed him to his ' berth and left him. The man looked 1 at it; then he went back to the rear ' platform and closed the door. In a J few minutes he stuck bis head in the ' car and shouted: 1 "Look out; I'm coming," and he made a run for his berth with his ' clothes, or most of them, under his 1 arm. In the morning he stuck his ' head out between the curtains and ' called the conductor. "rr? -- "i-nndoi. om T crninc to pet ' tLiuuv*vi * **? * Dw**"o o--i out on the platform to dress with all 1 these people looking?" The conductor explained to him that 1 he would have to dress in his berth. 1 He did so, but it took him two hours. J ?Topeka State Journal. j Joe Wheeler's Joke.?During the f recent visit to the army camp iu Savannah, General Joseph Wheeler was c entertained by a party of northern ( men at the De Soto. When, in the 1 good humor of after-dinner cigars, one 4 of the gentlemen said, laughingly : "How is it, general, that the sleepy 1 farms of the south produce such whirl- } wind fighters in such small packages?" 4 "Well, general," said the little gen- ( eral, puffing at a large man's cigar, "I ( believe I'll have to give to you the answer an old 'cracker' womau once gave 4 me when I asked her a similar question. Not many years ago I had occa- f sion to make a saddle journey through I the pine barrens of Georgia, where y most everybody is a 'cracker' and { mighty shiftless. One day, however, 1 I rode into a little community that 4 showed such signs of thrift as to be quite out of keeping with the general 1 character of the barrens, I do assure 1 you, gentlemen. I rode up to a cabin ' where a -aunt old woman stood in the 1 doorway, and asked her who owned 4 these little farms that were so well kept. ' "'That farm on the left belongs to ( my son Jabez,' said she, 'and the next 1 one to my boy Zalim, and the next to my lad Jasen, and the next is my boy ( Potiphar's place, and?' < "'Hold on, sister,'said I. 'How did ( vou manage to raise such a fiue lot of 1 boys way off here in the woods ?' 41 'Wall, stranger,' she answered, 'I am a widdy woman, and all I had to raise 'em on was prayer and hickory, but I raised 'em powerful frequent!' " ?Exchange. He Was Out.?A benevolent looking old gentleman stepped into an office on one of the lower floors of the Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon and asked for Mr. Wicherley. The clerk who had come forward to meet the old gentleman concluded that he was a clergyman, and replied : 44Mr. Wicherley has gone above." The old gentleman walked out and the clerk returned to his desk. Two hours later the old gentleman returned, and the clerk stepped forward again. <4Mr. Wicherley got back ?" the old gentleman asked. The clerk was somewhat bewildered, but replied: 44Mr. Wicherley has gone above." "Well, confound that roof garden anyway," exclaimed the old gentleman. "How long does the performance last?" | The clerk then proceeded to explain , that Mr. Wicherley had gone to his re- ( ward, and the old gentleman left, j mumbling something about the inabil- ( ity of some people to "talk United ( States."?Chicago Times-Herald. ] A Snob Wittily Snubbed.?At a < refreshment room one of the passen- 1 gers was hungry and in a hurry. "Please pass me them pertatoes, ] mister," he said, addressing an elegant | gentleman who sat next to him. The latter slowly focussed his gold ] eyeglasses on the speaker.

CHESTER?Lantern, July 25:? Vorkville's council has determined to have water meters put in, which is right, and to make the renter furnish the meter, which is wrong. If they were going to hang a man we suppose they would want him to furnish the rope. In this case he would certainly kick. A number of girls entered the Winthrop contest Friday. One boy, Burdette Cornwell, stood the examination for South Carolina college. The papers go to the faculties. Coroner Shannon held an iuquest yesterday over the remains of a colored infant which was found by Dr. Miller lying out near the Eureka mills, partly devoured by dogs and buzzards. The finding of the jury was, substantially, that the uuknown child came to its death from unknown causes on an unknown day. It may have been 3till-born. There is some evidence as to the mother of the child, but it has not been developed. A rate of Dne first-class fare to Pittsburg, Pa., and return has been granted on account of meeting of Y. P. C. U. convention. Tickets will be on sale July 31 and August 1st and 2nd, final limit August i 16th. The fare will be $19.65 from Chester for round trip. By depositing the ticket with joint agent in Pittsburg on or before August 6th and paying 50 oents, ticket will be extended to August 31st. Any one who may desire to take the trip will communicate with Rev. I. S. Moffatt, Chester, S. C. Mr. , J. R. Thompson, chairman of the coun- , ty board of control, has been perplexed about the opening or closing of the ( iispensary during the reunion. He wrote to the state board, and they j threw the responsibility back on those | who are "on the ground." Of course 1 J U..4. hey know it ougtit to De cioseu, uul , ;hey want the profit, no matter how j nany get "on the ground"?or under ;be ground?as the result. Messrs. Etagsdale and Gaston, the other mempers of the county board, Mr. Thompson says, also leave the decision to him, ndicating their personal preference for , ppening. Other citizens consulted are ( ivasive and non-committal, and no ( natter which way the cat jumps they j ire safe, as they think, perhaps. But .hey are not safe. The board cannot , mload any responsibility; if the dispensary is kept open, they are responsible for any disorder, accidents or , jrimes that may result therefrom. And , ;very citizen who has an opportunity , o raise his voice against it is also re- ( sponsible, if he does not say distinctly, 'Close it." Mr. Thompson wished to . isk for an expression through the pa- j per. While it is late, still those who ] vish good order and sobriety to prevail :an yet say so. Everybody knows that | he open sale of liquor will cause disor- | ler, and no telling what else. Some say hat visitors will want drinks. Visi- , ors can get abundance of drinks here ( nucb better than anything in the dis- , pensary. We know that some have , lttered no uncertain sound on the j mbject. Let others do so, late as it is. | CHEROKEE?Gaffney Ledger, July i 25 : The storm in Cherokee township < ) the night of the 19th instant was . nuch worse than at first reported. I The rainfall was almost unprCcedent- ' ;d. The crops on uplands were badly ] lamaged, and on the creeks much of i ;he corn is nearly destroyed. Three I ,restles of the S. C. G. & G. E. road < vere washed away and a full half j nile of the road was washed out, 1 vbich suspendid operations on the I jraflney branch for some days. The -ain extended to this side of Broad i iver and did considerable damage I ibout Cherokee ford. The Gaff- I >ey Manufacturing compauy will in- < trease its capital stock $100,000 at I >nce. It is the intention of the man- ] igement to invest the entire amount i n the purchase of new machinery, i it least 10,000 spindles will be added < o the already large number now in I )peration, and this will make the plant < )f the Gaffuey Manufacturing com- i Dany one of the largest in the state. < President H. D. Wheat deserves much j credit for his able management of this j mterprise and should have the undi tided support of all progressive citi- I tens in his undertaking. During ] ast week while the washout on the S. t P. & G. E. branch from Blacksburg to < jraffney was being repaired, the South- I trn extended courtesies to the former < oad and allowing them to run trains < iver its road from Blacksburg to Gaff- 1 ley. We learn that Mr. Richard i hash's house, at Cowpens, was struck iy lightning a few nights ago, and it ivith the furniture was considerably lamaged. Fortunately none of the i amily was injured. J. S.

Adjutant and Inspector t General Floyd was here yesterday I looking after the guns which were is- 1 sued by the state to the old military company at this place. Any person having one of said guns or knowing the whereabout of any of said guns will report the fact to the editor of The Ledger. The young corn crop for several miles around town has been completely destroyed within the past 10 days by a worm which some say is the army worm. It is not confining itself altogether to tbe young corn crop for it devours grass and almost any young green vegetation. Mr. Jake Knight tells us that it de stroyed a field ot tour acres ot corn for him in less than two days. It does not attack old coru. On Saturday evening last, Mr. George Barfield, an operative at the cotton mills here, died, after an illness of several weeks of fever. He was a son of Mr. John Barfield and was about 23 yeais of age. He moved with his father's family to this place last spring from Kershaw county. His remains were interred in the new cemetery at this place Sunday afternoon. We are informed that Rev. Allen Macfarlan preached a plain, matter of fact sermon, for the benefit of people who might be inclined to embrace Mormonism, at Carnes' school house last Sunday afternoon. After giving the history of Joe Smith, its founder, and exposing the doctrine, he ventured hi9 opinion that people in this elightened section who would embrace it ought to be bored for the hollow head. Two Mormon elders were present and heard his discourse. The following day they were requested to leave the neighborhood and they did so. GASTON?Gastonia Gazette, July 27: Dr. D. E. McConnell went to Chester Tuesday night, on the veteran's excursion, to visit his brother. He returns today. The dry weather has knocked out the River Bend picnic this year. Colonel Abernethy announces that it is called off, and that the people may expect a aouDie-nusier next year. He urges the farmers to sow oats and turnips. Mrs. R. P. Smith and Miss Mabel went to Greenwood, S. C., Monday, for a vacation trip of three weeks. Mr. Smith is at Hendersonville. Miss Julia is visiting in McConnellsville. The Ozark mills, under the moving management of Secretary R. R. Rankin, are taking on the appearance of a new Village in east Gastonia. The cottages are forming in ranks and the brick walls of the mill are going up as fast as the workmen can lay the brick. Mr. Rankin hopes to be spinning all right by cold weather. At Belmont, Monday afternoon, Miss Sarah J. McKee died after a lingering illness of a year or more. She was upwards of 65 years old, being the oldest sister of Messrs. VVylie, George and Bob McKee. She was well-known and widely esteemed In the community in which she had lived and died. The funeral at New Hope church, Tuesday, was conducted by Rev. R. A. Miller. The Presbyterian reunion at the Cliffs last Thursday was from every standpoint a delightful occasion. The the trains carried about 640 excursionists, and additions from the country roundabout swelled the attendance to about 300. Dr. Moore was not present; 3ut the speaking and other exercises as indicated on the programme were jnjoyed greatly by the excursionists. All members from whom we have heard an expression were deiigntea with their trip to the Cliffs."" Misses Julia, Mary, and Annie Galloway returned last Friday from an extended vacation visit to Due West, S. D. Mrs. Galloway is still in Virginia iud will return with Dr. Galloway when he returns in August from his trip to the Pittsburg conference. The amount of fried chicken consumed in Gastonia daily is a plumb caution, to say nothing of steak and good sweet 3am. Granite Falls is chicken headquarters and many crates are shipped from that point every day. The Narrow Gauge people have put down i "dead-line" to assist the police in linking the crowd "stand back." It consists of heavy oak beams let into the ground, tandem fashion, parallel with the track aud about 15 feet from t, extending far enough on either side jf the baggage room to include the jetting-off-and-on places. The train ;oing crowd now have to toe the mark. Gastonia is to have a farmers' sonded warehouse. For this purpose Mr. Jno. F. Love has decided to erect it once two more brick store rooms, ;ach 25 x 80 feet, one story high.

EIow the Government Has Been Looking After Counterfeiters. The thirty-fourth annual report of :he secret service division, submitted ;o Secretary Gage by Chief Wilkie, last Tuesday, shows that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, there were irrested for making or passing counterfeit money and kindred crimes 679 persons. Of these 218 were convicted ind 293 are awaiting actions of the courts. The acquittals were less than 24 per cent. Of 79 cases undeterminjd at the close of the previous year, 64 svere convicted. New York state led the year's record with 98 cases ; Pennsylvania had 77 ; Missouri 59; Indiana 41; Illinois 35, ind so on down to one each for South Dakota, Idaho and Mississippi. Neith ?r Vermont, New Hampshire nor Rhode Island had a case. There were 433 native born Amerilans among the prisoners ; 89 hailed rrom Italy; 23 from Germany; 17 xora Ireland; 8 from Greece. The counterfeit money captured and secured consisted of ?55,489 in n?tes ind ?20,778 in coin, a total of ?76,467. The list of captured plates embraces some of the finest workmanship ever .urned out by counterfeiters, including ,hose for the famous ?100 "Monroe aead" silver certificate and other ?100 plates ; also those for ?50, ?20, ?10, ?5 i and ?2, the latter including the "Han- j cock" and "Windom" bead silver cer- i tificates, for which the members of the 1 division had vainly sought for more t than eigh{, years, and finally captured in the hands of the Johnson brothers s at Detroit, in August, 1898. There 1 were also the beautiful internal reve- i nue stamp plates used by the Taylor i and Jacobs gang. The total number 1 of captured plates was 267. There were also 22 dies for striking gold and silver coins, and 413 molds for the run- ] ning of spurious coin, the largest num- t her ever onntured in a sinele vear. \ ~ " ? 1 ? u Fifteen new counterfeit notes made their appearance during the year, but g of these only two were considered j dangerous, and less than half a dozen c of these particular notes ever got into I circulation. The report touches brief- g ly upon the famous Philadelphia case j and Chief Wilkie pays a tribute to Operative Burns, McManus, Murphy and f Griffin for their splendid work in connection with this particular case. c -1 ? ? c NEWS SITUATION IN MANILA. ? i Further Explanation Why People Are Not ( Better Informed. s A private letter received last Tues- j day from a war correspondent at Ma- i nila and dated June 17, says : "There seems to be no end of the war in sight. The censorship is constantly becoming t more troublesome. General Otis re- c cently established a rule that any mat- t ter relating to the navy must be taken t to the commander of the fleet for his g approval and afterward submitted to t the military censor, thus adding to our t difficulties. For some reason which . the censor would not explain, General Otis refused to allow us to send the r f MAno/lnnnlr'a nontfli n UUtllll Ui blic luuuauuuua 0 VM^/VM.U (Nichols) for two days after its occurrence. The general also refused to allow us to send news of the disappearance of Captain Rockefeller (April 28) on the ground that it would worry his family, or the killing of Captain Tilley, of the signal corps, until the next day. The correspondents are all very tired of this arrangement, which simply means that they must go out and run large chances of getting shot several times a week with no chance of mak- J ing reputations, because their stories must always reflect Otis' view. "It is impossible to write the truth t about the situation. The resources f and fighting qualities of the natives ? are quite misunderstood by the Ameri- c can papers and we cannot write the 1 facts without being accused of trea- J son ; nor can we tell of the practically unanimous opposition to and dislike of the war among the American troops. ' The volunteers, or at least a portion of them, were at one time on the verge of mutiny, and unless General Otis had begun sending them homewards there would have been sensational developments. "We have been absolutely refused all hospital figures." National Convention.?A short time aco the legislature of the state of Texas adopted the following concurrent resolution: Whereas, the constitution of the United States of America provides that congress on the application of the legislaturesjof two thirds of the several states shall call a convention for ^ proposing amendments to said constitution ; therefore we, the senate of the . state of Texas, the house of represen- -j tatives of the state of Texas concurring, do hereby petition and request the congress of the United States of America to call a convention for proposing amendments to said constitu- ? tion as soon as the legislatures of two- p thirds of the several states of the a United States of America shall concur x in this resolution by applying to con- 1 gress to call said convention. Be it a further I Resolved, That the secretary of ? state be, and is hereby directed to send a copy of this resolution to the con- -< gressmen from Texas and to the gov- x ernor of each state at once, and to the s legislatures of the several states as I they convene, with a request of them J to concur with us in this resolution. j Governor McSweeney has received 3 a copy of the resolution accompanied c by a letter conveying the proper re- t quest to him to join in the effort to s get the national convention called. ~ Governor McSweeney has not yet exDressed any views upon the subject.? | Columbia State. Negroes as Soldiers.?While the Negro is well fitted for many industries, and while the southern whites, who know him best, will trust him in t many positions, he is unfit for publie office?the disastrous experience of the p south between 1868 and 1877 proved , this?and still more unfit for military * duty. Like "the beggar on horse- c back," the moment a rifle is put in the hands of the Negro he becomes a I nuisance, if not a danger. He is filled j with the idea held my people of inferior races, that he is the equal, if not a the superior, of the whites, and he starts out to prove it. During the war with Spain several r regiments of Negroes were raised, some under the resolution of congress providing for immune regiments, others by the states. Kansas and Illinois each organized a Negro regiment, and, ' we are sorry to say, some of the southern states followed their example. ' These troops caused trouble wherever they were stationed, were guilty of in- ( subordination, rioting and murder, and it took a very large force of the white regulars and volunteers to suppress the Negro soldiers and keep them in order. a The short experience of the Spanish ~ war has convinced not only the south, _ but the whole country, that Negroes J make poor soldiers.?New Orleans V Times-Democrat. 11 IQT During a heavy shower a business man, carrying a very wet umbrel- "1 la, entered a hotel to pay a call to ^ some one upstairs. After placing his imbrella. to drain, he wrote upon a >iece of paper and pinned it to the imbrella: "N. B.?The umbrella beongs to a mau who strikes a 250 pound >low. Back in five minutes." He went upstairs, and after an absence of 15 minutes returned, to fiud lis umbrella gone, and in its place a lote: "P. S.?Umbrella taken by a nun who walks ten miles an hour. iVon't be back at all."
