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

"Why, yesterday you said that you
did not know which would die first."
"Nor do I. That is a problem that
time alone can solve."
Set' In a recent investigation of a murder
case in Ottawa, Kansas, one of the
witnesses, a woman, was asked how
long she had known the accused.
"Ever since roastin' ear time," she replied.
"And when does roasting ear
lime begin?" asked the city-bred lawyer.
"As soon as they're fittin to eat,"
answered the witness, and the attorney
didn't pursue that line of questioning
any further. i

YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, January 25: Rock
Hill also has a curiosity, and it is not
in a dime museum either; nor did it
escape from one. Among a drove of

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.

UNION.
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.
The Bart Congressman.?The
youngest person in the Fifty-seventh
congress is Hon. John J. Feely, member
from Chicago, 111., district. He is
so young in comparison with sdme of
the antique congressman about him
thnt ho ic nncifivolv phlMHl/o rrV?lr?l/
of a congressman at 26! Gulusha A.
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. If he keeps up h
this course until he gets to be as old it
as Mr. Grow, then he will know as P
much as Mr. Grow knows, perhaps.

THE REVENGE OF ANIMALS.
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.
