His Opinion.?"I heard a fellow braggiu' the other day," said the Kohack philosopher, that he was the great-great-great?and mHvbe some more?grandsou of Geueral What's-hisname, that fell of from Bunker Hill monument, or something of that kind, and be seemed to consider that the same fact made bim a good deal better than common people. I did'nt make any remarks at the time; but as I looked over him and recollected that he had never done anything more meritorious than just to live, and wasn't any too scrupulous about paying his debts, and that he smoked siggyrets and played on the mandolin some, and made his humble, but useful fellowcitizens unanimously tired, I thought these things about him : The first was that mebby he was lyin'; the second was that if he really was a grandsou at all of the illustrious patriot before mentioned, it was just as likely that he was only a small-small-small, and so on, one; and the third thing I thought was that this 'ere confounded endless-chain relationship business has been just about run into the ground, anyhow. "A man 'd a blame sight better be figgerin' on what kind of an ancestor he'll make than forever drivelin' about his forefathers."?Tom P. Morgan in Judge. Young America's Reply.?The American youngster is the pride and joy of his parents and his country. A typical specimen is "Jack" Richards, aged 9, son of,the solicitor general of the United States. While bis parents and he were being shown through the beautiful country seat of Hampton court, in England, in company with a high English nobleman, little Jack was playing about and learning a great many lessons. The custodian was telling his usual tales, and in the vinery he pointed out a vine planted by George III. He explained that the grapes from that particular specimen were reserved for the queen herself, that no lesser personage tasted them. TurniDg, with a patronizing air, to Young America, who was gazing at the vine, he said : "I suppose you do not know who George III was?" "Ob, yes, I do. He was the George that fought pur George; but our George licked him and licked him good."?Success. A Story of Culberson.?Every member of cougress who knew him has a story to tell of the quaint old Texan, Judge Culberson, who died a few days ago, after 20 years in congress. One day be was making a speech in the house. Pausing dramatically, he pointed to the press gallery and said: "You can't do this without gettin' found out. Look at them printers up there. They'll take this all down and print it, them printers will." Another time he was at Atlantic City and met a friend. "Hello, Char ley," he said, "I'm glad to see you. I have just been a standin' down by the edge of the ocean watchin' them women goin' in washin'."?New York World. < A Hint to Book Lovers.?A gentleman once received a visit from an acquaintance who announced that the object of his call was to try to borrow a certain book which he felt sure his friend had in bis library. "I have it," said the gentleman in question ; "but I cannot lend it to you, for I have made a rule, as fixed as the laws of the Medes and Persians, never to lend a book." "But why?" asked the visitor. "Because people never return them. To prove the point to you, I would ask you to just look round my well filled shelves. You see there about 3,000 volumes, and all of them were borrowed." Regarding General Buller and bis supplies there is an interesting anecdote. Buller telegraphed from Natal to some wine merchants to send out 50 cases of champagne marked "Castor Oil." About the time the wine was due Buller wired the officer in charge of the base notifying him that he expected 50 cases of castor oil which he wished dispatched without delay. The officer at the base replied regrettingly that the cases had not arrived, but saying he had procured all the available castor oil, 20 cases, which he had forwarded in the hopes that it would suffice for the present. General Buller's remarks are not recorded. f?* The Owensboro (Ky.) Inquirer relates a good joke that occurred at Calboon last week, in Judge Owen's court. A case was ou trial, and the judge was being worried by a young i man who kept moving about in the rear of the court room, lifting chairs I and looking uuder benches. "Young mau," Judge Owen called, "you are making a great deal of unnecessary noise. What are you about ?" i "Your honor," replied the young I man, "I have lost my overcoat and I am trying to find it." i "Well," said the judge, "people of- i ten lose whole suits in here without making an tnai nisiurouuce. t&~ A western congressman recently received the following note from one of his rural constituents to whom he i had sent a consignment of garden seed : i "Kind sir and esteemed friend, I have < the seeds. They came this morning and suit very well, specially the cabbage seed which grows well in this soil, please send me 2 loads of fertilizer and a new harrer and if you could send me a man for a couple of days I would be obliged. With this help I know the garden stuff will turn out al rite and I will send some to you and the president. Your grateful well wisher and Supporter." Miscellaneous ^ratling. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Summary of the News That Is Being Published by Exchanges. CLEVELAND?The Shelby Aurora, May 23 : Dr. R. E. Ware, oue of our popular dentists, sustained a head on collision with his milch cow last week, and as a result received a painful wouud on the forehead as well as an injury to the eye. The cow was eating, and Dr. Ware stooped to pick up something near the feed box, when the cow threw up her head striking him as described. A white man by the name of Strang, was brought to jail here to answer a charge of assault with intent to kill. The assault! was made upon a little white gin, an operative of the Enterprise mills. They were engaged in a quarrel, the little girl being separated from the assailant by a glass window. The man became so enraged at what he called her abuse that he hurled a piece of iron piping through the window, striking not the girl engaged in the row, but an innocent little girl bystander. The wound inflicted on the face and head was an ugly one. We regret to learn of the unfortunate accident sustained by Miss Ida, the daughter of Mr. David Cline, on Saturday night of last week. She and her little sister were in the room when they were startled to see the oil in the lamp had become ignited. So terrified was the younger sister that she threw the lamp down on the floor, where it exploded, setting fire to the rug. Miss Ada attempted to extinguish the flames, and was most painfully burned on the right arm, the sleeve of her dress being burned off entirely. She has suffered excruciating pain ; but is recovering rapidly. Mrs. Marion Putnam, the estimable wife of the popular cattle dealer, was bitten by a large highland moccasin or rattlesnake's pilot last Saturday morning. She was in the garden picking strawberries when she felt something stick her; thinking it was a briar, it angered her somewhat and she thrust her hand back to pull it up when she was horrified to see a large snake coiled around a cluster of plants, bis venomous eyes sparkling in anger. She immediately called Mr. E. Riviere, who quickly responded with a hoe, and together they dispatched the reptile. It measured about three feet and is known as one of the most poisonous of this section. She was bitten on the end of the thumb, and within a few minutes was suffering great pain. She became delirious in about 30 minutes after be ing bitten and remained so lor aooui eight hours, in the meantime suffering great agony. Dr. Ellis was hastily summoned, and administered proper antidotes. He also adopted heroic treatment with reference to himself, in that after making au incision in the thumb, applied his lips to the bite and by suction much of the poison was withdrawn. With splendid nursing and treatment she is now very much better. CHESTER?The Lantern, May 22: Messrs. Lewis Dye, of Blackstock, and David M. Dixon, of Alliance, came home from Clemson college yesterday. The session has not closed; but they got a special dispensation on account of having appointments as census enumerators. Major J. W. Reed has sent on to Louisville a lot of palmetto, to be used in decorating the South Carolina sponsor's carriage. Major Reed is going to have a Confederate national flag made to carry .along. Perhaps a majority of our people have never seen one. It is made by extending the battleflag downward and outward about the width and length of the battleflag, the added portion being white with a wide red stripe across the end. Mr. R. A. Lewis, of Avon, has sent us sample heads of wheat from the farm of the Rev. J. T. Chalmers, D. D. They are from a 25 acre field and of two varieties, one bearded. The beads are about six inches long and have the appearance of being crowded with grains. The prospect is that Dr. Chalmers and Mr. Lewis and all the children will have "cake bread" to eat all next year. GASTON?Gastonia News, May 22: The High Shoals Cotton mill building will be under cover the last of this week. Mr. Abe Kale, who was night superintendent at the Atberton in Charlotte, has arrived and will be superintendent. Mr. Stead, lately of Phnrlntte has arrived and will be weave room boss. As Dr. Torrence's team was returning Saturday from taking a load of cotton to McAdenville, it was run iuto by the 1 o'clock south bound passenger at the Avon crossing. Mr. R. B. Harvey and sou were ou the wagon. They claim that the train gave uo signal, and they saw nothing of it uutil the rlauger signal was blown. They were prevented from hearing it on account of the noise made by the mill. Mr. Hurvey saw he could not cross the track safely, so he undertook to turn his course and not cross. But before he could clear the track the cow-catcher struck the left wheel of the wagon, breaking it into pieces, kuocked the boy out of the wagon, aud the lead mule was knocked about 20 feet down the road and cleared of its harness, ft, cot un. walked back to the wagon -- T1 w and fell dead. The shoulder of the horse was badly bruised aud it will probably die. The boy was senseless for a few moments, but soon recovered. Gazette, May 24 : Mr. D. W. Hicks, of Yorkville, visited our city on Tuesday. Miss Lessie Glenn will leave Friday night to attend the marriage of her cousin, Miss Alice Caldwell, of Guthriesville, York county. Mr. S. V. Wallace, of Clover, spent a few hours in town last week on his way to Cleveland Springs, where he goes for his health. Mr. G. M. Shives, of River Bend township, was in town last week. He informs us that the grain crop in his section is looking fine ; but cotton and corn are backward. The rain of last week, be said, was the heaviest knowo in that section for years, and did a great deal of damage. It seemed to have been a regular cloud burst, and the small streams in that section were higher than for 25 years. The land was badly washed and many bridges destroyed. A boy by the name of Whisonant relieved Mr. J. M. Smith, of Clover, of about $11 last Friday. Mr. Smith had the boy helping him in the store and he had free access to the money drawer and availed himself of the opportunity. Whisonant, with a friend, came to Gastonia last Saturday to "blow it in," and were having a time when Chief Alex* 5 - anaer receiveu a measure w nmvu tbem. He took tbem to tbe guard house and searched them aud found a large part of the money. Mr. Whitener arrived in the afternoon and took them to Clover. Squire Andrews held court on last Saturday evenitfg, Mr. Pat O'Donnell, one of the workmen at the Loray mill, had had some trouble with a Negro by the name of Ed Williams. Saturday he decided to dismiss him and went to tbe offiee and said he intended to turn him off. He I told Williams to leave, but Williams | would not go. So Mr. Dent, who was with Mr. O'Donnell, pulled out his pistol and fired in the air to frighten him. | This did not accomplish tbe intended result, so Mr. O'Donnell took it and fired in the air. Williams then ran and came to town and swore out a warrant. The testimony of the witnesses brought out tbe fact that Williams carried a pistol and had made some threats against Mr. O'Donnell. The court decided Mr. O'Donnell not guilty and Williams had the cost to pay. To give you an idea of how many eggs are sold herein oue day, we have tried to find out how many were sold last Saturday. It is hardly a fair test to take Saturday, for a great many of tbe merchants could not get eggs until late in tbe evening, and then they sold out in a little while. But there were something over 958 dozen eggs sold. Some of the stores we could not get to, and some did not remember exactly. No doubt it will reach 1000. Think of it; 10,496 eggs almost every day. Several men told me they could have sold twice or three times the amount they did if they only had them. Why don't some man go into the business and supply the home market. Those eggs were whilesaled.it is supposed, at about 10 cents. That would make $95.80, and he could have disposed of more than that. This is equal to about three bales of cotton at 7 cents, it takes you a year to raise. CHEROKEE?The Gafihey ledger. May 22: Mr. Sam Gafl'ney reports the killing of a six-foot coach-whip snake last week. J. Wesley McKeown, a prominent citizen of York county, was in the city Saturday, the guest of his brother, Mr. John McKeown, on Frederick street. We regret to learn of the death of an infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Byars, which occurred at the home of the parents at Limestone Saturday. The remains were buried at Macedonia Sunday in the presence of many relatives and friends. Thomas R. Horner, formerly of the Gaffney Manufacturing company, but late of Charlotte, N. C., died in the latter city on the 17th instant. Mr. Horner was well-known here where he had many friends who are sorry to hear of his death. A postoffice has been established at Cherokee Falls with Mr. R. P. Roberts as postmaster. This will supply a long felt want to one of the most thriving mill towns in the Piedmont section. LANCASTER?Ledger, May 23: Notice has been received that Lancaster county's share of the dispensary school money under the apportionment for schools where there is a deficiency of the regular school funds, is $1,217.

The lumber is being laid on the grounds for the erection of Mr. J. M. Heath's handsome residence on the site on Elm street, recently purchased from Mr. Wylie. Contractor Knight will superintend the work under the supervision of the architect, Mr. H. E. White, who furnished the plans and specifications. It will be, wheu completed, one of the handsomest aud costliest residences in our city. THE HUMBLE CHINA-BERRY P l?a IV/wwl ?u of Vflrv JL' UI VC? Ullll m. Uipuoco >va .? wu Great Value. A correspondent of the News and Courier, writing from Georgetown, writes of the china berry tree as follows : I. As a germicide and preserver. If a chest is made of the wood the good housewife way throw all of her woolens in it at the close of spring with entire confidence that they will pass through the hot season and open up in the fall in excellent condition, without the aid of camphor or other insectproof substances. II. If a beadstead is made of it no bugs will infest it. III. If a chest is made of it no wevils or other insect will attack its contents. IV. If a gun box is made of it the sportsman, at the oloseof the hunting season, may cleanup bi9 apparatus and pack it away with no lingering doubt but that at the beginning of another season bis gun and trappings will be kept in perfect order?free from rust as well as the ravages of insects, Somewhere about 1850 died Mr. Francis Withers, one of our leading rice planters of that lime. Thirty , years prior to that event he placed two samples of rice, dressed and poli ished for market at his own water mill, in his two secretaries, one in each. These pieces of furniture were made, one of mahogany, the other of India Pride wood. There they remained until the old gentleman's death. Upon i being taken out by his executors, the I late Dr. Jas R. Sparkman and the late , Francis W. Heriot, the sample from the India Pride secretary was found in perfect condition, while that from i the mahogany was a parcel of dust, . having been destroyed by insects. This story was related to me by one i of the aforenamed executors. The late Mr. I. R. Ford was in the habit of > keeping his gun in a case made of the India Pride. He told me that it ali ways passed through the summer in i fine order. i I may mention the fact that I have in my house a large clothes chest made of the wood. My woolens are placed in it at the close of spring. It never fails to preserve them clear of all attacks of all insects. V. A library fitted up with shelves of the wood would be invaluable, as it would be proof against the fatal book worms. CRONJE'S SURRENDER. A Picturesque Account of How the News Stunned the Boers. A London correspondent, A. G. Hales, who was taken prisoner by the Boers and returned by them to Gen. Gatacre, sends to his paper an account of how the Boers received the news of Cronje's surrender. He was at Burgbersdorp when the news came through. He writes : "When the news came the folk would not believe it. They- would just as soon have believed that the sun could fall from the heavens and leave the earth in darkness as that Cronje, the iron-willed, tiger-hearted Cronje, could throw down his arms. Had the news come that he bad made a mad rush at our guns and perished with all bis men around him they might have believed it?believed it and wept, and even as they wept they would have sworn to avenge him. But they would not, they could not and they did ' not believe that he, the man in whom they had placed their faith, had surrendered with thousands of bis men. But at last the truth became known ; some who had escaped from Cronje's laager brought in the fateful news, and then the stolid looking fighting men broke down. They wept like boys. Great rugged bearded men dashed their rifles to the ground and spurned them with their boots, while down 1 ' ? J ?I?J frt n/io f Vl A meir sun auu wiuu muuou iolco ?.uo tears poured readily. Others took the news sadly, with cbiDS dropping on their chests, with hard set faces, white with passionate pain too deep for words; they stood leaning upon their rifles with hands bard gripped until one would think the tightened muscles would leave the impression of the straining Angers upon the cold steel. Others again crowded together and looked dumbly from face to face, like cattle fore-gathered to the shambles. The blow had stunned them. To them Cronje was something more than a man ; he was an idol; what the great Corsican was to the French soldiery after the battle of Austerlitz, so Cronje was to these rude farmers. He was their brain centre, their rallying point. Had Paul Kruger betrayed them to their foes for the sake of British gold they would not have felt the shock as tbey felt this one man's surrender. "If Cronje had loved his country half as well as his conntry loved him he would have marched right on to the point of a British bayonet on that morning so disastrous to the Boer arms, and have yielded up bis life in order that the memory of bis name might have remained as a watchword on the lips and in the hearts of bis gallant yeoman soldiery. When the crash came, when the Boers kuew for a certainty that Cronje had yielded, they felt that their idol was shattered. He bad been to them as a god fashioned out of marble. They found him at last to be only a man made out of mud, and when he fell the Cape Dutch cause and the Orange Free State fell witb him. When he laid down his arms he launched a thunderbolt into the Boer camp which wrecked it forever." How Baseball Was Started.? The devil was the flrst coacher, says a retired baseball editor. He coached Eve when she stole flrst. Adam stole second. When Isaac met Rebecca at the well she was walking with a pitcher. Sampson struck out a good many times when he slew the Fbilistines. Moses made his first run wheD he slew the Egyptian. Cain made a base hit when he killed Abel. Abraham made a sacrifice. The prodigal son made a home run. David was a long distance thrower, and Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red Sea. FINLEY & BKICE, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Yorkville, S. C. ALL business entrusted to us will be given prompt attention.
