NlbHT IX A "SLEEPER."
A traveler from the short grass coun- ,
try boarded No. 1, at Dodge City, a few
nights ago. 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

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. "Did you <
think I was one of the waiters?" he ]
asked, icily. ]
The others held their knives and ]
forks in mid air, expecting to see the <
man shrivel up; but no such phe- '
nomenon took place. He turned and (
beckoned to the nearest waiter. <
"George, come here, please." <
"What is it, sir," asked George. (
"I want to apologize to you, that is j
all. You see, I mistook this party
here for you; but I hope you won't be ,
offended at it. Isow, please pass me
them pertaters, and we'll go on with <
the rest of the meal." j

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. Mintz,
if Cherokee township, had his barn
lestroyed by fire from a stroke of light- |
ling during the electric storm of the i
L9th instant. Mr. Mintz lost his crop '
if wheat, one mule and many valua- i
lie farm implements. i

vices in the Episcopal church next
Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m., and 6.30 s
p. m., conducted by the Rev. J. W. i
Cantey Johnson. The Holy commuuion
will be celebrated at the morning ?
service. 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. Here
rarmers who don't wish to sell their
jotton may deposit and draw money
>n it?then sell when they get ready.

SECRET SERVICE REPORTS.
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

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. ~

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

imbrella: "N. B.?The umbrella beongs

of 15 minutes returned, to fiud
