tumorous department. LAWYER'S OPINION OF THE COURT. The lawyer's inalienable and inestimable privilege of "cursing the court," when the decision has gone against him, is marred, as most lawyers realize, by the fact that the "cursing" must be done in private. This anim- 1 adversion, however, sometimes takes the form of a communication of the lawyer's opinion to the publisher of the law reports. Parts of some of these communications have been printed recently by a law publishing firm. One lawyer wrote, "The case is a legal curiosity, and seems to have been decided by main force." Another, beaten in a highway case, wrote of the court, "They do not know a highway even when they stumble nver it." Another requests the publisher to chastise the court, stating that "it will be of great benefit to the profession that this case be thoroughly aired and the fallacy and danger of it in its farreaching results exposed." Another "very prominent lawyer" wrote, "The opinion of our court is a schoolboy blunder, deserving of nothing but scathing rebuke, and a review of it should run in that line." Most seductive of all the suggestions was the statement, "I should be very willing to pay for such a criticism of the decision as hereinabove indicated by me." "This," comments the publisher, "recalls the Quaker chasing his hat in the wind and who hired an urchin to curse it."?New York Sun. A Decisive Step.?His chum came in and found him slipping a lock of hair into an envelope, not furtively or surreptitiously, but just placing it under cover in a calm, businesslike way. "Hello!" says the visitor. "What's up?" "Nothing," he answered. "I'm only sending back Miss Hamilton-Highlow's hair, that all." "Engagement off again?" "Yes." "How many times does this make?" "Five. It's final this time, though, one way or the other." "Does she say so?" "Oh, she always says its final. I'm deciding things just now. It's off forever or cards are out soon." "How do you do it?" "Little scheme of my own. You know the color of her hair, don't you? 1 Warm brown, with a little raw umber in it? Well, this sample of hair I'm doing up is red. I tell you we're going to get down to genuine emotion this time. She'll know whether she loves me or not, and if she does she'll walk me in by the ear."?London Mail. j Now She Hates Him.?A young man and a young woman lean over the front gate. They are lovers. It is moonlight. He is loath to leave, as the parting is the last. He is about to go 1 away. She is reluctant to see him de- ' part. They swing on the gate. "I'll never forget you," he says," and ' if death should claim me my last thought will be of you." "I'll be true to you," she sobs. "I'll never see anybody else or love them as long as I live." They part. Six years later he returns. His sweetheart of former years has married. They meet at a party. She has changed greatly. Between the dances the recognition takes place. "Let me see," she muses, with her fan beating a tattoo on her pretty hand, "was it you or your brother who was my old sweetheart?" "Really I don't know," he says. "Probably my father."?London Answers. Obedient to Orders.?"You must push matters a little, James," said the chemist to his new boy. "By calling a customer's attention to this article and that article you often affect a sale." "Yes, sir," responded the new boy, and then he hastened to wait upon an elderly person who wanted a stamp. "Anything else, mum," inquired the ambitious boy, politely?"hair dye, cosmetics, face powder, rheumatic drops, belladonna, mole destroyer"? The elderly lady deals over the way now.?London Tit-Bits. Visitor (at poorhouse)?Where did that fine looking pauper come from? Superintendent?The city. He owns the St. Fishion flats. "My goodness! Why is he here?" "He charges such high rents that they have been empty since the second year." "Hum! He seems to be on familiar footing with a good many of the other paupers." "Yes; they are the people who were his tenants the first year."?New York Weekly. "Yes," said the author, "some objection was raised to my story in Boston. It was pointed out that one of < the expressions was very inelegant, and , I had to change it." "What was the fault?" "Why, in . speaking of the cooking in the olden ( times I inadvertently used the word 'spit,' and I had to make the phrase { read, 'She was slowly turning the expectorate' in order to make the book ] acceptable in the best circles."?Wash- , ington Post. j txT Shopman?This matches your sam pie, perfectly, madam.

The British government is the owner of more than 25,000 camels. Upwards of 100,000 horses have perished in the South African war up to date. iaT The United States imported $7,500,000 more silver from Mexico in 1900 than in 1899. New York has the most expensive water system in the country. It has cost up to date $115,526,748. tif The number of deaf mutes in the United States is over 111,000; the nuber of totally blind is 88,924. Last year the total number of new books published in the United States reached 6,356, or 653 more than in any previous year. The militant spirit is dominant in Nebraska. In the Fourth district in that state there were 400 applicants for the West Point cadetship. t?r In England the breeding of mice has reached a high state of development. A Manchester man recently paid $125 for a black and tan mouse of Q nOOQtrV iST Mrs. Annie Ray, of Oakland, Cal., who lately filed suit for divorce, appeared as her own attorney, and prepared the necessary papers herself, without the assistance of a lawyer. tar Throughout France suicide seems to have been increasing for sometime. In the five years ended January 1, 1901, the number of suicides was no less than 27,000. ?&' It took a force of auditors a week to locate a discrepancy of 12 cents between the accounts of the city comp-' troller and the city treasurer of Philadelphia, in a total sum of $60,000,000. tar The Massachusetts Frog company has just been incorporated in Maine, with a capital of $5,000, its object being declared in the application to be "to buy, sell, breed and import frogs and animals." tar The young king of Italy celebrated his birthday recently by releasing 13,000 prisoners incarcerated in different parts of his kingdom for offenses which he considered had been sufficiently punished. tar The jury in a recent trial in Wales comprised one man named Hughes and eleven named Jones. Seven of the latter bore the Christian name of John. The prisoner's name was that of the seven jurors?John Jones. tai' Something of the vast magnitude of the canning fruit business in California mav be seen when it is known that 50,000,000 cans are annually shipped out of that state. To this may be added the great quantity of bulk fruit which comes from the state. tS' A landslide occurred recently in Switzerland. An inn and its garden and outbuildings slid down a hillside a distance of 35 feet without being in the least injured. Two stately elm trees in the garden were also moved without injury. t?' Governor Beckham has been presented with a cane by a Virginian, who claims that it was made from a piece of Thomas Jefferson's office desk. The date of Jefferson's birth and death, his dying words and extracts from the declaration are cut into the wood in the most unique and artistic style. Word comes from Painesville, O., that girls decided to do away with the boycott they put on the boys, and decided to give a sleighing party. The boys were going to send regrets, but the girls heard of It, and called the invitations in. The boys seem to be getting the worst of it all around. iaT During a smallpox scare in Cadillac, Mich., recently, two hoboes, claiming to be from an infected district, walked into town. They were penniless. of course, but the alarmed Cadillacians soon subscribed enough to send them 100 miles south by rail. The two tramps footed it out of town well content. iW Mrs. Henrietta Dunn, of Kent Island. Mo., recently gave a party in honor of her two sister, Mrs. Eliza Brown and Mrs. Margaret Weeks. Mrs. Dunn is the mother of 25 children, Mrs. Weeks has 21, and Mrs. Brown has 11, making a total of 57, all of whom are alive. Fifty-one of them were at the party. tii' The Chinese are not so far behind us in the practice of medicine as has been supposed. While the yellow physicians are deficient in their knowledge of anatomy, and therefore amount to nothing as surgeons, in their treatment of common ailments they are in some cases practically abreast of the most advanced practice in this country. The attention of practical mining men has been for several years devoted to the deposits of copper in Alaska, but questions of transportation have in many cases prevented the ore from being extensively mined. One of the most recent reports from this region states that the copper mines in the Copper river district will excel in output any that are known in the world. S3f Congressman Roberts, in connection with his work as a committeeman, recently discovered a forgotten room in the Capitol, back of statuary hall. It was full of old books, and during the Civil war was used as a hospital. An old stove and some cleft wood were found, just as they were left over 30 years ago. A soldier's coat, full of dust and moth-eaten, hung on the gas jet. The air was stifling and the lock an the door had almost rusted off. Jhi>* In the postofflee of some one of the large cities there is an unknown clerk who for several weeks has been stamping religious texts on the envelopes of the mail that passes through his hands. Business men of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago have been finding lately, printed in purple type across their correspondence, such admonitions as "Prepare to meet thy God," or "No man knoweth the day or the hour when his soul shall be required of him." XST Congress is asked to appropriate $40,000 to raise and restore the Niagara, Commodore Perry's flagship, sunk in Erie bay many years ago. Nothing remains of her but bare ribs and keel. Everything portable, even to the handforged bolts which held the boat together. having been stripped from her and passed into the possession of relichunters. It was on the blood-stained deck of the Niagara, just us the firing ceased, that Perry penned his famous modest message to General Harrison: "We have met the enemy and they are ours.

There were only six cases on the docket and four of the number were thrown out by the grand Jury.... There was a small fire at the Manchester mill Wednesday morning, but was discovered in time to prevent any damage. It was under one of the cotton warehouses, and had it not been discovered at that moment, it might have proven very disastrous. This mill has a splendidly organized fire company of its own. which responded to the alarm immediately, but the fire was put out with a bucket of water. Hickory Grove Sun, March 9: J. B. Martin was in Rock Hill Monday, on business Messrs. C. M. and W. H. Whisonant went to Rock Hill on Monday on business Mr. E. F.

Westmoreland returned Tuesday from a visit to his son, Mr. A. P. Westmoreland, who lives near Anderson in a factory town where he is a machinist and is making money. He took unto himself a wife a short time ago Dr. H. W. Bays, of Rock Hill, arrived in Hickory Grove, on last Friday afternoon and made a lecture In Mt. Vernon church that evening. 4|s subject was 'When to Court, How to Court, and What to Court." Messrs. R. C. and W. L. Jackson, of Clover, s C wprp in Hickorv Grove and vicin ity on Tuesday and Wednesday Mrs. Mary Morrison, of Hickory Grove, died last Saturday, the 2d of March, about 12 o'clock. She had been sick with pneumonia about two weeks. Her age was about 45 years. She and her little girl Janie had been in the family of Mr. R. K. Seahorn for several years. Her remains were buried in the Hickory Grove cemetery Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Bays at the grave, Rev. P. B. Ingraham being absent at Shady Grove. She was a member of the Methodist church. CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, March 8: On Wednesday evening last, at 8 o'clock, Mr. J. J. Webber, of Stice, N. C., and Miss Minnie Ellis, of this city, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's father, Mr. P. L. Ellis. Rev. W. S. B. Ford, of the Second Baptist church, performed the ceremony in the presence of a few close friends of the bride and groom Tramps seem to be numerous in Spartanburg, and some of the are quite Impudent. A few days ago one called at the residence of Mrs. F. L. Liles, in that city, and asked for something to eat. Upon her refusing to comply with his request he used some very abusive language to the lady, but was soon frightened away and the police did not capture him. There have been several to ?laffney recently, but this town is so "hostile" towards them that they do not tarry long within the city limits. One, however. was captured Wednesday for beating a train and stealing some things from a box car at the depot. He is now doing something that he has probably never done before, unless for the same cause, and something that is no doubt very foreign to his inclinations?that is, working on the streets of the city with the glowing prospects of 55 long days of such pastime before him. These knights of the road do not act upon the maxim that "beggars must not be choosers," but contend for the best that can be had and become highly indignant if they do not get it. Everyone of that class should be punished to the fullest extent of the law whenever captured After trying a number of trivial cases Tuesday and Wednesday the proceedings in the court of general sessions came to an abrupt close, the excuse being that the murder trials, in which much interest was being manifested, could not be tried on account of an affection of the throat of Col. T. B. Butler, the leading counsel in each case. As a consequence there was a i great deal of disappointment on the i part of the morbid minded who had 1 gathered to listen to the testimony. 1 The cases disposed of and not report- 1 ed in the last isue of The Ledger, are < as follows: L. A. Jackson and Clar- i ence McBrayer were charged with vlo- 1 lating the dispensary law. The grand 1 Jury failed to find a true bill against, 1 Jackson, so he came clear, but McBray- i er was found guilty and fined 5150 or 10 i months on the chain gang. The cas* i against Jessie Champion for violating the dispensary law was continued, i George C. Williams was found guilty 1 of violating the dispensary law and a i sealed verdict was handed in. John i Byars and Sarah Sheers were tried for < adultery and acquitted. This seemed ( to be a case of spite work, they being < nrnsepiitad hv snmpnno who had a dis- 1 like for them. The case against our | old friend "Bob" Powell, for violating j the dispensary law was continued. Bail was granted to Charles H. Gait- j ney and Banks Perry in the sum of ( $2,000 each. Messrs. L. R. Ross and ] J. A. Gaffney became surety for Mr. Gaffney. Mr. Perry has not yet secured bondsmen, but hopes to do so in a few days. CHESTER. Lantern, March 8: Mr. J. Martin Grant, of Halsellville, who keeps a record of the weather as it passes, as well as forecasts of the future, phoned 1 The Lantern yesterday morning that , the temperature was the lowest he had recorded in 13 years, which we sup- 1 pose runs back to the beginning of his observations Mr. H. H. Shannon, of Leeds, who was in town Tuesday, says he has all of his corn land ready for planting. He says he would rath- ! er be short on cotton than corn. He has all of his last year's crop of cotton to sell yet. Mr. Shannon is a hust- 1 ling farmer, always raises his hog and , hominy, and makes cotton a surplus. Mr. Richard Estes, a hard-work- 1 ing farmer and worthy citizen, who lives near Smith's, lost by fire Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock, his barn two good mules, about 60 bushels of corn, 1,500 bundles of fodder and a lot of peavine hay, total loss about $400. No insurance. Mr. Estes bought a little home of about 100 acres three years ago on the installment plan and was working hard to meet his payments. He has a wife and six little children, ; and deserves help, sympathy and encouragement from all good citizens. It was by hard work, with the help of some faithful colored neighbors, that he saved his dwelling. Mr. Estes feels sure that it was the work of an incendiary Miss C. Inez Hunter, of Chester, daughter of Captain M. H. Hunter, was married Wednesday evening, March 6th, 1901 at Hopkins, S. C., to Mr. W. G. Whitlock Will Chalk, white, and Robert Carter, colored, were committed to jail yesterday morning for stealing a bale of cotton from Mr. T. T. Castles two or three weeks ago. The cotton was recovered in Yorkville, where It had been sold. Chalk, who is of good family, but destitute of character, was in Jail for stealing cotton seed from Mr. G. W. Lackie, about Chi'istmas, and was released a short time ago The city has bought two splendid mules, and two faithful old mules, still good, have been retired on full rations and light work, that is to say, they have been assigned to the scavenger wagon. This reminds us to say that mules can hardly be found that receive better care than those belonging to the city of Chester. Mr. Jas. Hamilton gives them his personal attention, has them liberally fed with good sound feed of the most wholesome kind, keeps good, clean water in their reach, and though they have to do plenty of heavy work, no driver is allowed to abuse them in any way. They have comfortable, well niio rfnro on/1 Vi o tro nno r\a \r nf IV\_ L 4 UU ? kVIC, CXUU UU>? V W*IV "V absolute rest every week. One of the mules in use now is 18 years old, but is as sleek as a mole and shows no sign of failing. Mules on farms, treated as these are, serve about a generation, and their keep costs no more than when they are half fed, if as much. There would be great economy in caring for all mules in this way. Threefourths of the money sent out of the state for mules would be saved. LANCASTER. Ledger, March 8: Messrs. Mike Sowell and Eli Langley had a difficulty near the Stevens saw mill while on their way home from town last Monday night, in which the latter was severely cut across the shoulder. A physician was summoned and dressed the wound. Mr. Langley's wound is very painful, but he will soon be O. K Mr. Wm. K. Marshall, of Pleasant Hill township, died last Tuesday evening at the ripe old age of 86 years. He was a good, honest, straightforward citizen. He served with the reserves in the Confederate army, guarding prisoners at Florence, etc....!..Mr. W. C. Cauthen sent his bond as county treasurer for the ensuing two years to Columbia on Tuesday and received his commission. Thursday Auditor Cook forwarded his bond at the same time and he also received his commission. STAND FOR THE FLAG. No Fear That the Empire Will Overwhelm Us. Thoneh mn n mnv ho over the* ar> rnu ? ~ \ nor Saladdin much other in his pasor ill, ours; for weal or woe, ours; the princes who hammered at the gates of the Holy City, the world doth move apace. We are as God made us. If aught went wrong that happened yesterday, we did it ourselves. Nor did we do it blindfold. Not a sovereign on earth has half the power lodged in his hands which the congress just expired lodged in the hands of William McKinley. Well may he ride in state! Not Herod in his pride; not Ceasar in his glory; not even Napoleon beneath the vaulted arches of Notre Dame, so safe in his person, so sure of his commission, so absolute and puissant in the reach of his tenure! Imagine a man so situate, an Anthony, a Rienzi, a Nero; what havoc before the world could put a stopper on the light and put it out. And yet, somehow, we fear not; for there stands the grim, awkward, grotesque figure of our excellent and upright Brother Jonathan; it may be a spectre, a homely spectre, as it were?a country cousin nvlted to the feast and unwelcome to many, but an actual presence there; a visible reminder; the spirit of Democracy; the genius of Republicanism; and woe to him that treads upon those jlumsy feet of his, who jostle the stalwart equanimity of this, the real mas:er of the revels; this, the grand champerlain of the court; this, the uncouth Warwick of the modern tourney of states and parties; this sovereign of sovereigns; this maker and unmaker of presidents! And so, dear Mr. Bryan, let us pluck ap heart a lick or two. This sort of :hlng does not suit us; not a particle; we agree on that; perhaps it is our edlcatlon; we agree on that; perhaps it Is jur blood; perhaps It is that we have Irunk much and too deep of the water )f the Mississippi and the Ohio; but what not, let us never despair, nor lang our heads in shame, nor fall down whilst imperialism and the imperialists lourish over us. Yet, let us be wary still. Let us emuate the wisdom of the serpent. Where :he skin of the lion fail us, must we i'en piece it out with the fox's. Nor nake mistakes, either. Too many we pave made already. They are costly, ifou, being young and optimistic and irdent, may think you have some time 10 squander; but there are those of us who are no longer so that cannot wait :oo many days. In one sense imperialsm is here to stay. This Uncle Sam of purs, this Brother Jonathan, grown to his full stature, has had a taste of blood. He has felt the touch of his manhood. There is no stopping him until he has sown the wild oats and 3een the error of his ways. It is very wrong; but he is going to have his fling, and, when it is ended?if, haply, It should be ended whilst he retains his health and strength of historic youth, his right and wrong wholly debauched and blunted?these outlaying territories will still be ours; for good or ill, ours; weal or woe, ours; the flag above them never to come down. Let us make no mistake in this, Mr. Bryan. But, accenting it as a fact inevitable as the Union itself, let us hold the Republicans to their just accountability for the administration of the country at home and abroad, in the states, in the territories and in the colonies. Otherwise, we go to continuous and certain defeat. Stand by the truths of the Declaration of Independence. Stand by the mandates of the constitution. But also stand by the flag. Don't let them write us down against the flag. Don't let us seem to be opposed to the flag. The declaration, yes! The constitution, yes! But, ever and ever, and late and early and right or wrong, the flag, the flag, the flag!?Louisville Courier-Journal. # it i < if* * %j? Will be just as carefully exec office in the country.
