tumorous department. What She Was Charged With. About ten years ago I witnessed an unusual occurrence in the circuit court room at London, Ky. Judge Robert Boyd was the presiding justice. One morning, shortly after the court had opened, Andrew Jackson, the foreman of the grand jury, appeared before the judge in charge of a woman, who, he stated, had refused to testify before the grand jury. The judge, with a very polite bow, said to the woman: "Madam, it is your duty to tell anything you may know about any violations of the law in this county, except, of course, such as may have taken place in your immediate family. It would be very disagreeable *a Kavo tn nuni.Qh VH11 in flnV way, and I trust that you will go at once and answer the questions that may be asked by the foreman of the grand jury." "I'll be durned if I do," she said with a withering look of scorn. "Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of $10 against this woman," said the court. "Now, madam, you go and testify to this jury at once." "You go to h?1, you durned old fool,' the woman retorted. "Mr. Sheriff, take her to jail," roared the Judge. "And hain't I already in jail for selling whisky, and brought out of jail to testify?" she said, and with an inimitable toss of her head she passed out of the court room. Being very fond of the judge, and quite intimate with him, I arose and said to him, as if I had not fully gathered what had been going on: "May I inquire of your honor what the lady is charged with?" "I don't know sir; but I think she is charged with dynamite," replied the court with a look of exasperation.? Governor Bradley's Stories of Kentucky Life. Hard on the Son-In-Law.?The Chicago Chronicle says: One of tne most charming raconteurs in Milwaukee society is Mrs. Thomas H. riowles. She is a Georgian and knows the Negro dialect to perfection. Nothing could be more finished than her darkey stories. Here is one of her best: A young man was telling anecdotes to a circle and one of his listeners was his mother-in-law. He related one about a funeral. A woman had died. The undertaker at the close of the services at the house said to the bereaved husband: "You will ride in the first carriage with your mother-in-law." "I decline to ride with that woman," said the widower. "She has made my life miserable. To ride with her would spoil all the pleasure of the occasion." All laughingly appreciated the humor of the jftory except the ' young man's mother-in-law. "Why don't you laugh?" he asked. "It was a good story." "Oh," she replied, "I was thinking of another story about a colored minister who prayed one day for rain, like this: " 'Oh, Lord, sen' us a rain. Thou knowest dat de craps is a-spiling'. Thou knowest dat de cattle on a thousand hills am a perishin' fo' water. Sen' us a rain, oh Lord. Not one ob yer drizzles. Sen' us a downpour, a gully-washin', a trash-liftm ram."An old mammy in the back part of the church called out: "Lord hyar, parson. whufTo* yo' pray data way? Why you pray for a trash-llftin' rain? Doan' yo' 'member dat I done bury dat triflin' son-in-law o' mine last week?' " A Ground Hog Case.?An old mammy. who had known Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, from his childhood, came into his office, and began at once to plead for the pardon of her husband, who was then in prison. "Laws bress yo' life, Marse Bob," she began, "I wisht you'd pardon dat po' ole niggah Jim. He ain't no good for nuffin* nowhar. He jest dat useless an' triflin', even at home, dat he cahn do no mo' den sorter scrape aroun' an' git a little sompen for we-all to eat, an' he sholy ain't no good down dar in dat pen." "I can't do it, aunty," the governor said. "I am being abused every day. What's Jim in there for?" he asked, seeing the light that was left dying out of the old woman's eyes. "W'y, Marse Bob, dey jes' put him in dar for nuffiin' 'pon earth 'cept takln' one po' little ham outen Mr. Smith's smoke house. We was outen meat, an' de o'e niggah didn't do nothin' 'cep' tek de ham fer ter keep we-all fum starvin.'" "Well, now suppose I should pardon Jim, what good would that do you? He is so onery ana inning, me governor was saying, when the old woman broke in with the reply: "W'y, bress you. Marse Bob, we is outen meat agin* an' we jes' got to have anothah ham!" The Juryman Was Right.?A funny story is related of a juryman who outwitted a judge, and that without telling an untruth. He came breathlessly into the court. "Oh, my lord." he said, "if you can excuse me, pray do. I don't know which will die first, my wife or my daughter." "Dear me, that's sad," said the innocent judge. "Certainly: you are excused." The next day the juryman was met by a friend, who in a sympathetic voice asked: "How's your wife?" "She's all right, thank you." "And your daughter?" ?ii a* ami i?IIC O till lift 111.

"And when does roasting ear lime begin?" asked the city-bred lawyer.

Among a drove of ? **1- * ? 1-4, a* TXfn/1 Mrto/loTr fnp came uruugm iu mn u ?r cu..cou?, slaughter was one with five distinct legs Rev. John C. Johnes, rector of the Church of the Good Shephard at Yorkville, has been called to the Church of Our Savior, his work to be in connection with that at Yorkville, these two parishes having been united as one field Major. A. H. White, representing the First Presbyterian church of Rock Hill, went to Darlington Thursday to attend a meeting of Pee Dee presbytery yesterday. This meeting was called to urge presbytery to decline to dissolve the pastoral relation of Rev. McArn from the Cheraw church Mr. James Barber shot twice at a thief last Sunday night. The fellow had broken into his grain house. It is believed one of the shots took effect, as there is a Negro in the neighborhood who claims to have been used up by a barbed wire fence. The Sunday night before Mr. Barber fired twice at a thief who was taking too much liberty with one of his potato heaps General J. W. Floyd, South Carolina's deservedly popular adjutant and inspector general, had a narrow escape from a very serious accident Thursday. He was a passenger on the southbound Southern train that morning, having spent several days in Washington. A few minutes before reaching Rock Hill, he inquired of the conductor if his train would make connection with that on the S. C. & G. E. road at this place, as he hoped to be able to go from Rock Hill to Heath Springs, so as to reach his home in the country that day. The conductor assured him that the S. C. & G. E. train had already left Rock Hill, not knowing of the recent change of schedule. General Floyd kept his seat contentedly, intending under the circumstances to go to his home in Columbia instead, but when the train stopped at Rock Hill the conductor learned of the change of schedule on the S. C. & Ga. E., and notified General Flody, and that, although the train had begun to move, he could leave the caoch with safety. Acting on this advice, General Floyd went out upon the platform and walked down the steps, but stepped in an opposite direction from that in which the train was running. The impetus by this time was such that he was thrown violently upon the ground, and it was only by a miracle that his left leg was not crushed. The bystanders turned their heads, for they believed that the gallant one-armed Confederate veteran would in a moment be crushed to death under the ponderous wheels. A kind providence guarded him, however, and he was enabled by a rare presence of mind to save himself from an awful fate. Summoning all his strength, he pulled his leg from across the track with only a second to spare, and as it was, the wheels passed apparently within a hair's breadth of his foot. He was unharmed, however, to thp delifht nf nil who witnessed his delemma The third anniversary of the organization of Catawba chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was celebrated at the handsome mansion of Captain and Mrs. W. L. Roddey in this city Wednesday evening. It was abrilliant affair, elegant in all respects and delightful in its social sweetness. Palms and ferns and azalias added to the charms of halls and parlors, with their company of elegant dressed women and admiring men. In one of the parlors too a great deal of interest was centered in a number of pictures, twenty-seven in number we believe, illustrative of some battle, incident or person of the Revolution and each person present was provided with a card and pencil and put to guessing. Some of the scenes were unique and it required considerable knowledge of historical events and persons and much study to be a successful guesser. For instance, a bottle of brandy and another of wine was significant of the battle of Brandywlne; a piece of cloth was understood to be a reminder of General Tarleton; a cord hanging from a nail to which a pebble was attached meant the battle of Hanging Rock: a fisherman in a shady nook on a creek stood for the battle at Fishing Creek: Washington on horseback with a Hessian fly in front of him, recalled the Incident "Washington making the Hessians fly;" General Greene was a piece of ivy; West Point was called to remembrance by the picture of a dial with the hands directed to the west, while a dog "on a point" stood near by: several grains of corn, a wall and an ace stood for Oornwalis, and so on. There were many amusing guesses: for example, vapiain n.a ivioaiey cauea me piece ui tarlton "cheese cloth," and so recorded It. The bottles of brandy and wine were perplexing and several were not averse to sampling the contents before guessing. A number of the cards were very creditable, but those of Misses Leonard, Dunbar, Roberts, Mrs. Buist and Mrs. Mabry were complete, each of these ladies having guessed the list of puzzles correctly. After the guessing match, the banquet hall was thrown open and a royal feast was served. Those who were present at this delightful entertainment were Mrs. Buist, regent of the chapter, with her husband, Prof. H. B. Buist; Mrs. Iioddey and Mrs. Mobley, vice regents, with their husbands. Captain W. L. Roddey and Captain E. B. Mobley; Mrs. Johnston, historian, and her husband, Mr. T. L. Johnson; Mrs. A. R. Smith, secretary, Mrs. B. N.

Times, January 24: The depot at Lockhart Junction eight miles above Union, was broken into last Saturday night. Entrance was made by breaking out two panes of glass in the telegraph operator's office in front. They made a water haul this time, and got nothing of value. This breaking in business is getting to be rather monotonous, and we think that the scoundrels should be hunted down. A little dose of hemp might work miracles in stopping this business A grand raid was made on a blind tiger who had his lair in some secret recess or nook around about the Johnny Willard old barroom stand of the days of yore. The eagle eyed sleuths of the law swooped down upon this unsuspecting (?) tiger, of the sightless variety. They probably made him "get down on his knees and deliver up the keys to the kegs that had been robbed many years ago." A grand seizure had been made, the pull- was of such magnitude that we understand it required seven wagon loads of hauling to remove the kegs, Jugs, bottles, etc., to the safe cusfrv/iv nf tha cahprtfF. Rut sad indeed must have been the disappointment of the raiders when It was found that only about five gallons of the ardent could be drained from all this mountain of evidence, barely a drink around for the thirsty onlookers. Too bad, too bad, you have our sympathy The jurors for the first week came in Monday. Owing to the recent decision of the Supreme Court Judge Ernest Gary dismissed the jurors indefinitely. The second week's jurors are also instructed that they will not be requested to attend this term of court. It is probable that an extra term of court will be called sometime in April, but nothing definite has been arranged yet Magistrate Jno. P. Gage sent his resignation to the governor last week. The resignation was accepted and J. G. Hughes, Esq., was appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Gage has made a good magistrate. He was thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of his office in an intelligent manner. A number of the prominent lawyers of the city, and others having business in his office expressed regret at his determination to resign. Mr. Hughes, the new magistrate, is a rising young lawyer of the Union bar, and we have no doubt will handle the business of the office in such a manner as to give satisfaction to all concerned ? The county board of commissioners at their meeting last Monday decided to let the contract for supplies for the county poor house and chaingang, for the year 1902 on a basis of cash price with interest added at the end of the year when the county will pay for the goods. The board left the matter in the hands of the county supervisor to get in bids and award contract for same. Bids were submitted by Messrs. Farr & Thomson and Fant Bros. Several other merchants declined to put in bids on grounds that they did not care to carry county trade that long on short profits, as the matter was too great. Contract was awarded Messrs. Fant Bros., they being the lowest bidder. They will furnish goods to poor house and chaingang at cash price with 6 per cent, added. CHESTER. Lantern, January 24: Mrs. A. G. Brice was called at Camden, Ala., last week by the serious sickness of her brother, B. Meek Miller, Esq. He has pneumonia, but was somewhat better at the latest report Mrs. Alice C. Thompson, daughter of Mrs. Agnes Farrar, and wife of Henry Thompson, died at her home in Chester, S. C., on December 26, 1901, aged 42 years. The fatal disease was pneumonia Mr. W. Holmes Hardin, Jr., was to be married last evening to Miss May Hamer, of Little Rock, Marlon county. Bishop Duncan was to perform the ceremony Mrs. Mary Chalmers, widow of the late Rev. J. C. Chalmers, died Monday night in Charlotte, at the home of her son, Rev. J. T. Chalmers, D. D., and was buried in Winnsboro, Wednesday. Dr. Chalmers was very low when last heard from Mrs. Elmira Shannon died last Friday night, January 17th, at the home of her son. Mr. H. H. Shannon, near Leeds. She was 67 years old, and died from the effects of grip. She was the mother of ex-Supervisor T. W. Shannon and a sister of Mrs. Martha Mobley, Mrs. Victoria Walker, and Major J. W. Wilks.

Grow is four times that age, but not nearly so pretty as the Chicago babymember. Galusha has bushy whiskers. Johnnie has a cute mustache, just sprouted. He is a Democrat. The guides in the Capitol rotunda point out Mr. Feeiy to visitors and say: 'There, ladies and gentlemen, is the youngest man who ever had a seat in congress. He is our baby member." It doesn't matter to the guides if the Chicago youth is not in the rotunda. Any passing senate or house page answers their purpose, and the visitors are just as much surprised .as if they had seen the real thing. There is not a visitor who has been through the Capitol this session but has seen, or believes he has seen, Hon. John J. Fee- h ly, member of the Fifty-seventh con- t< gress at the age of 26. b He is not one of the young Ameri- n cans who believes they know it all at p 26. It is said of him by his colleagues ii that he'does know a great deal for it one of his age. He shows that he does d know something by his modest and a manly bearing on the floor of the a house. He doesn't try to butt in and ti turn loose floods of eloquence at every e debate, but through all sits quietly ^ listening and learning.

Thi* Inplennant Sentiment Im Well Developed In Some or Them. A. number of authentic anecdotes have been collected by Le Tour du Monde to illustrate the fact that the sentiment of revenge is very well developed in some animals. Everybody knows that elephants, for example, have long memories when they are subjected to treatment that hurts their feelings. Captain Shippe, of the French army, discovered this fact to his sorrow six weeks after he had given an elephant a sandwich sprinkled with cayenne pepper. The captain had almost forgotten the incident when he next saw the animal and attempted to caress him; but the elephant, recognizing the practical joker, suddenly absorbed a quantity of dirty water from a puddle near by and diffused it over the officer's uniform. Griffith, the historian, tells a story of two Indian elephants at the siege of Eurtpore. Water was scarce, and in great demand, which gave unusual value to a well that had not dried up. One day just as a small elephant and its driver were leaving the well, the animal carrying a pail of water, a very large and strong elephant seized the n .1 1- il.. Bmnllar pail ana uranit me wain, nic amau^t elephant, conscious of his Inferior strength, showed no resentment, but bided his time. One day he saw his enemy standing broadside by a well. The little fellow suddenly rushed forward with all the energy at his command, butted the big one on the side and tumbled him over into the well. An Indian missionery tells of an indiscreet person whom he saw teasing an elephant by pricking his trunk with a pin and then feeding him with lettuce salad, which no elephant has any use for. The animal was rather slow in anger and he had not fully decided to be mad till a half hour had elapsed, when he suddenly seized the man's hat from his head, tore it into shreds and flung the fragments into the face of his tormentor. A British magazine told a while ago, of a milkman's dog that was the terror of all smaller canines, as he was a fighter and never missed a chance to mix ? up in a row. Most of the dogs in the ^ neighborhood bore sfflirs as evidence of his ferocity and prowess. None of them could match him in a fight. The idea finally occurred to them, however, that there is strength in union, and so one night about a dozen of them went to the home of the tormentor and thrashed him within an inch of his life. The milkman found next morning that the dog was nearly dead from the wounds inflicied. When he recovered from the scrimmage he was a j changed dog, having wholly lost his taste for fighting. Sir Andrew Smith, a zoologist, told Darwin that one day he saw a tame baboon in South Africa, bespater with mud an officer, who, all spick and span, was on his way to parade. The officer had frequently teased the animal, I which took this effective means of re- | Jvenge. Parrots also are among the animals that do not soon forget persons who tease or maltreat them. They us- ^ ually find some way to give some un- J pleasant moments to those who are unkind to them. Richest on Earth.?Some interest- J ing statistics have been prepared by e: the United States bureau of statistics 's for the London Dally Mail Year-Book, j says Harper's Weekly. They are very fj far from being exhaustive, or contrl- a butions to the discussion now going e: on over the enormous balance appar- ^ ently due us from foreign countries c as the result of the commerce of the B last ten years. They are interesting P and important, however, as far as they go. They put the United States at the L head of the nations in point of wealth, f< estimating our property at $81,750,000,000; that of the United Kingdom at w $59,000,000,000; that of France at $48,- S 000,000,000; that of Germany at $40,000,- P 000,000, and that of Russia at $32,000,000,000. At the same time our public debt is Ci the smallest, and that of France is the al largest. The percentage of debt to ' wealth is also lowest in the United g| States, being 1.4, while the percentage of debt to wealth in France is 12.3; in C Russia, 11.1; in Germany, 8.1. It is very clear that we can go on spending money for a good many years to come ^ without incurring a debt as great as p that of the United Kingdom, for example wfiir>h ia tho novt smallest to OUT own, but is still 52,150,000.000 in excess Q1 of ours. But do we want to? Are we L to be tempted further into debt by the example of other nations? If there is l danger of this, it is a pity that the tl compiler of these statistics did not fur- ^ nish us also with a comparative table q of taxation, so that we might know how much public extravagance costs the private burden bearer. The re- K mainder of the table shows that our sc wheat crop of 1901 was nearly 450,000,000 bushels in excess of the crop of Russia, which is our nearest competitor, but produces less than half our c< own product. In 1900 we made about Ml 5,000,000 more tons of pig iron than pj were made in the United Kingdom, and nearly 6,000,000 more tons of steel.
