^tumorous Department. Buncoed the Biinco Man. He came across the river from Jersey, and looked so much like Denman Thompson's Josh Whitcombe that you could hear the bees humming around the old homestead, says the Philadelphia Telepgraph. He was as typical a farmer as ever broke through the ferry house and showed the truly rural agility in side-stepping thd dray and hack driving hogs on Delaware avenue. Still, there was that look in the cold eye that told that he had been in more trorln onrl oHll hoH thp IUUII Uilt nviow b! uuv, miu ?% >*M%i best plug. He was accosted by the usual dude-dressed gent, who held out his hand and, delighted, remarked: "Why, bless me if it is not my old friend Jediah Dobbs from Shamong! I'm awfully glad to have met you. Uncle Jediah." The man from Jersey looked at his would-be friend a moment, realized that he was up against it and then in a surprised tone replied: "You've got my autograph down all right, young fellow; but blessed if you hain't got the best of me." "Now, stop and think a moment," said the bunco man. "Can't you remember where you saw me?" "It maut hev been the Zoo," replied the Jerseyman. "I was there one night about twenty years ago, but I kain't remember the names of all the animals." "You remember Samuel Donovan, who used to live in your town some years ago?" " 'Pears to me I do; left the place, didn't he, to escape being introduced to the sheriff?" "He left because he was offered better advantages in this city. Well, I am his son, William." "So you are Willie, are you?the little cub what used to steal my watermelons and throw stones at the cows. Well, Willie, I'm right glad to see you. and I don't harbor no unchristianlike feel in' against your old man, even if he wasn't just exactly in ' the Methodist deacon class. Howsomever Willie, I hope you don't take after him. What are yo udoin' for a living?" "Grafting." "Graftin, eh? Same as we call buddin' although some people stick to the old name. How many trees can you do in a day, and do you use beeswax or the new-fangled stuff they are sellin' at the corner stores?" "That depends on what I am grafting; but come, uncle I want to introduce you to a friend of mine." "Hold your hosses, Willie, or they'll pull you over the dashboard. This yere's my pleasure, and consequently my treat; but I just got a check from my commission merchant for fifty plunks, and 1 11 have to get that cashed fust." "Oh, don't worry about that, uncle," said the bunco man, who already had the coin clinched. "I will cash It for you, and after you treat, if you wish we will go and meet my friend." "I'm agreeable, Willie: got nothin' else to do but go down to Dock Street market for a short spell. Thanks, Willie, you are just as good as a bank, and not half so much fuss. Beside, I don't : have to feel sorry for them fresh young clerks. Here's hopin' you won't grow up like yer old man." "Same to you, Uncle Jediah." "Excuse me a minute, will you, Willie? I got a gravelstone in my boot, an' it has been hurting me like thunder ever since I left home. I kinder hate to pull off that boot rignt here afore all the people. You'll excuse me, won't you, Willie?" "Certainly, uncle. Just step in the back parlor. There's no one in there." This the man from Jersey did. He did more. He kept right on stepping and the bunco man waited in vain for him to get that gravelstone out of his boot. "Gosh!" remarked tne man from Jersey, as he pushed through the crowd and hopped on the ferryboat. "Wasn't he the easiest yet? It was his hide or mine, and tain't no harm to rob a robber. Besides, I hain't got it half back yet." Ju*t Stepped OfT. Sunday when the excursion train from Paris, filled with Negroes bound for the campmeeting, reached this city, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, it passed the station and went through Cynthiana, at a rate of about twentyfive miles an hour, the idea being tc keep the crowd on board until the arrival at the grounds at the Falmouth Pike crossing. Just before reaching Pike street a Negro man Jumped from the train. Of course, the momentum of the cars carried him along at a terrific pace. His body was going so fast that his legs could not possibly keep up, but they made a valiant effort to do and such a lickety-split a Negro never cut before. He galloped across the gutter at Pike street at a tremendous speed, barely missed a telephone pole, flew up into the air, turning a couple of oviiiciottuiifl ci:iu luiiutru uii in <x in the middle of the street. His eyes were as big as saucers and seemed to pop out. As he slowly gathered himself together his trousers were split, the knees were bruised and bleeding, his arms were wrenched, his coat-tails were in tatters, and his battered stiff hat was mashed down over his ears. At that moment a Negro girl who knew him came along. "Why, how do you do. Mr. Hopkins," she exclaimed. "Why, how do you do?" he answered, in deep, calm tones, with carefully measured accent. "How do you do? You are looking quite we-we-well. I just stepped off the train to meet you." Wit.lino t<? Conform.?The rear seat in the open street car was comfortably filled already when the cheerful looking young man with the blond hair squeezed himself down between two portly consumers of nicotine, says the Chicago Tribune. "It seems to," observed one of them, presently, "that when there are plenty of scats in the car it's an imposition for a man who isn't smoking to crowd in among the smokers.' "It isn't my fault that I'm not smoking." replied the blond young man with his most engaging smile, "if you have another cigar in your pocket I'll be glad to join you." It was a superb exhibition of gall, but he got the cigar. She JStorjt Seller. "ONE OR T'OTHER" [Copyright, 1902, by U. B. Lewis.] Davi3' drugstore was an Innovation It was not only the first to be established at Cedar Hill, but the only one for 2(M miles around, and we were inclined t< look upon the druggist with awe anc respect. We were a very healthy loi up there, and, aside from accident, nc man had lost a day for six months No sooner was that drugstore opened for business, however, than most of U? felt a yearning. Hiram Davis hit th< nail on the head when he said to tht crowd: "Boys, that drugstore reminds me ol home and of the old woman and chil dren. Jest think of pills and salts and calomel and quinine! Civilizashun hat come knockin' at our doors, und it's out oniomn dnntv to feel had and buv sun thin'!" Now, some of us began to "feel bad,' but when we came to buying something we found that the druggist was doing business on a line of his own. When Abt Smallman dropped In to get a dose ol calomel for his liver, which was doing business seven days in the week and in no need of any encouragement ol any sort, Mr. Davis said to him: "I bought this drugstore outfit of c tenderfoot down at Grass Valley. He was sick and discouraged and wanted to go back home. I don't know mucl about the business myself. I'll hunt up the calomel and sell it to you, but I won't be responsible for the results." "What d'ye mean by the results?" queried Abe. "Well, I've got calomel, arseuic, salts and a lot of other things mixed uf here, and I'm not going to guarantee anything. Mebbe It'll be calomel and mebbe not." We all shied off for a day or two a1 that, but when we came to think it ovei we rather liked the uncertainty, and the druggist was kept busy with oui purchases. Some of his liquids and powders were in bottles or papers, dulj labeled, and some of the powders were In parcels without a label on them. II anybody asked for epsom salts, for in stance, the druggist would fish around under the heap of boots and shSes and clothing till he got hold of a box 01 parcel, and, bringing It out, he would say: "All I know about this stuff is that it ain't copperas. I took a parcel of copperas on a debt once, and so I know the stuff when I see it. If you want to run chances, you can take it along." Most everybody was willing to run chances, and for two weeks all went well. If nobody was made any better, nobody was made any worse, and the druggist did a rushing trade. Then ~ ? ? oftoi-rinnn nn trlllfh nld .Tofi VJUiiic an aitci iiwu vu ?i ? Crosby laid down his working tools and announced that he was "off his feed" and had got to have something to ward off a bilious attack. "I can't say what's good for it," said the druggist, "but I'll fish up a lot of packages, and you can take your choice." * Ho laid out ten parcels on the counter, and old Joe wet the tip of his finger and tasted the contents of each in succession. He finally found one tc suit his palate ut least, and he bought a dollar's worth and went on 10 me shanty to dose. Half an hour later he was taken with violent cramps, and inside of two hours he was dead. A move was made on the druggist, but the smiling and urbane Mr. Davis replied: "Gentlemen, it might have been powdered borax or it might have been arsenic. I can't tell the difference between the two, and I have been free to say so. I gave him good weight, and he took his chances." Our purchases were light for the next week, but in time we got over the scare and went to buying again. A fortnight after the death of Crosby s man named Healy was made terrible sick for two or three days by a dose ol some unknown stuff, and the next da; Sile Warner entered the drugstore tc 6ay: "I ain't feelin' jest as I orter, and 1 want suuthiu to brace me up. Kin y< recommend a bracer?" "I never recommend," was the reply, "Here's the bottles and here's the packages. They may brace or they maj , lay you out." "Waal, this is a world of chance,' continued Sile as he pawed the stufl over, "and I'll take a dollar's wuth ol this stuff in the bottle. It'll wet the ? throat when it goes down anyway." The stuff was probably laudanum for Sile never woke up from thai night's sleep. His chum went over tc give the druggist tits about the matter but Mr. Davis headed him off with: "Dead, eh? Sorry to hear it, but he took his chances. I will now label thai bottle 'Poison,' and should any of yor , wish to ask to commit suicide you wil know what to usk for." We tried to brace up nfter the seconc calamity and were gradually gettinj our confidence back when a man nam ed Grimshaw got something for chills The druggist wouldn't recommend it as usual, but it had been marked bj the tenderfoot as "Good For Chills.' It proved to be. One dose removed Mr Grimshaw from this chilly world, anc over his grave we held a publio meet ing and whereased: It beln' only a question of time wher our drugstore will kill off every man lr Cedar Hill, and Whereas. We owe a dooty to ourselvef and them as has gone; now, tharfore, Resolved, That one or t'other of us hai got to git. "T'other" was the drugstore. After ? general consultation we made up ? shake purse of $50 to buy all the drugf on hand, and after everybody hat given himself one last dose of whatevei he fancied the remainder was throwr into a ravine, and Mr. Davis turned hit attention to other lines.

FROM CONTEMPORARIES. ! \eyv? and Comment That I> of More or Lena Local Interest. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, August 15: Two , heavy thunder storms Wednesday I night from 1 to 3.30 o'clock. Rain fell j in torrents and the crashes of thunder j were terrific. The lightning was so incessant as to establish almost a kinetoscopic uniformity of illumination ' As a result of Wednesday night's 1 storm a number of English sparrows were drowned, or killed by lightning. ' Mr. Louis Kerr says he counted as 1 many as 40 dead sparrows, (grown ones ! too) in his yard yesterday morning un! der the oak trees 'a he steam sawmill which Messrs. Jim Gettys and Sam ' Loughridge operated on Mr. S. W. ' Bradley's place was moved Tuesday. ' Mr. Loughridge sold his interest to Mr. 1 Gettys, who has moved the mill to a site two of three miles beyond Yorkville. Three teams came up from Yorkt ville Tuesday. The wagons were loaded the same afternoon and passed through ' Gastonia about dark on their way ' back About 140 veterans answer; ed to roll call at their meeting in Dallas ' yesterday. The splendid soldier and j the fighting prowess of the armies he , composed, as compared with others in history, formed the topic of an eloquent address by Major. B. F. Dixon. A tender and deserved eulogy on the | late Capt. G. A. Patrick was delivered by his old comrade in arms, Captain ! Beatty Smith, of Clover. Hon. E. Y. J Webb spoke of the commanding charaster of Jefferson Davis, and urged , the organization of the sons and daughters of Confederate veterans. Capt. J. ! Q. Holland was elected commander of ( the camp; F. W. Thompson and R. W. , Carson, lieutenants; Rev. G. A. SparI row, chaplain; W. I. Stowe, secretary and treasurer. In general attendance t and entertaining speeches, this reunion , was an unusually good one. The one I minor note of sadness was the absence , of some who have answered their last I roll call. There were many tender ex, presslons of sorrow at the death of , Captain Patrick.

On that , day one hundred lots were sold In a ' barren old field, where now is the city ; | of Gaffney containing between six and seven thousand people and millions i worth of property representing all lines ; of business done in an up-to-date city, , and buildings are going up now at a i rate never before equaled in the history i of Gaffney E. L. McKeown, late a i member of the Seventeenth U. S. infani try, who has been doing duty in the i Philippine islands for more than two : years, has served out his time and returned to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. I W. McKeown, at their home at Mer' cer, in this county. Mr. McKeown ' made a good record as a soldier, as did his father in the Confederate army. He stood the service fine and is receivi ing a hearty welcome from his many i friends in the county, who are glad to > see him back The storm yester: day afternoon was the severest that i has passed over Gaffney this year. The > wind blew hard, the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed and the rain fell in sheets mixed with hail. We have : been unable to hear of its effects in the ' county, but in the city one Negro house near Robbs & Baker's brick yard, was " struck by lightning and burned up, and " J. H. Curry's barn was struck and set ' on fire, but it was extinguished before 1 much injury was done. We fear to ' hear from the country, but hope for the better. The roof of the supply mill ! just outside the city limits, was blown 1 off and Mr. Eugene Metz, an employe in the mill and a most worthy young L man, was killed by the falling timbers. ' Mr. Metz was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Metz. He was one of our best young ' men, was industrious, of strong sterling ' character and possessed of the high characteristics which endears one to his fellows: He leaves a wife and one 1 or two small children who, with his worthy father and mother, have the sympathy of the entire community. ' From meagre accounts from the counr try it seems that considerable property ( was destroyed, including barns, stables, f cribs and other outhouses. As yet we ; have heard of no loss of life outside the ' city. A big plate glass in O. E. Wil' kins' front window was shattered by the storm. , How Could He Earn It??M. Camille ( Flammarion, the well-known French writer on astronomy, mentioned at the ? last meeting of the French Astronomit cal society, that the Christian era just i completed its first milliard of minutes. I Between January 1 of the year 1 and April 18 of the year 1902, at 6.10 p. m., I he says, just one thousand million minf utes have passed. The statement suggests a realization . of the meaning of a thousand million ? in the abstract, and still more of a f thousand million in the concrete form ' of money. Mr. John D. Rockefeller's fortune, for instance, is generally esl timated at about two hundred million " dollars, or say a thousand million francs. We all realize that this is an 1 enormous quantity, but the trouble 1 with most of us is that a single mili lion seems almost as remote from our possibilities as a thousand million, so ? tnat me greater sum uue? mui umrr^ entiate itself .sufficiently from the smaller. j Let us see, then, what Mr. Rockefelj ler's fortune of a thousand million f francs means. It means that if a man j had been working steadily day and I night from the birth of Christ to the present time at the compensation of a franc a minute his total earnings would just now have reached the amount of ; Mr. Rockefeller's pile. A franc a min; ute is very handsome pay. It is $12 an L hour, or $300 a day. A man getting $.100 . every day from the beginning of (he ' year 1 to the present time and con1 suming none of his earnings would only just now have as much as Mr. Rockefeller has. Or. putting it in another way, imagine a town containing 300 working people, each earning $7 a week. The total wages earned by the people of this town, in successive generations all the way from the time of Christ to the present day, would not exceed the amount which one man has managed to put by in the course of a single lifetime. Truly a thousand million is a great sum.?Baltimore News. ONE WHALE WORTH A FORTUNE. I# rrlp.l n rhnnk of A mllOrirrltt Tlifit Solil For About f 100,000. More than $100,000 is what Captain James Earle, a New Bedford whaler now visiting in Honolulu, realized in 1S83 from one sperm whale. In fact, the whale was one of the most valuable ever caught in any ocean. It was not the ninety barrels of oil which gave the leviathan its extraordinary value, for that was sold for something like $4,000, but within the whale's vast interior there was found a solid piece of ambergris weighing 780 pounds. This was the largest single piece of ambergris ever found according to the records, and that it came xrom one lone whale made the rich discovery the more inter esting to the scientific world. This 780-pound piece of ambergris was sold in chunks in all markets of the world for about ?25,000 sterling, and it laid the foundation of wealth for almost every man interested in the whaling expedition, which originated in New Zealand. Capt. Ealre came here in 1867 on the whaling ship Europe as a cabin boy, his father then being the first mate. He later went to New Zealand to join the whaler Splendid, which he fitted J out, obtaining thereby a bounty of $10,000 offered by the New Zealand government for the first whaler fitted out for service. He went as second mate and rose by promotion until he became master and part owner. It was in October, 1882, that the Splendid, while cruising about the Chatham island east of New Zealand came upon the sperm whale which was the biggest bonanza of the sea on record. Ninety barrels of oil were taken from it and while delving into the carcass the huge piece of ambergris was found. Ambergris is a concretion formed only in the intestines of the sperm whale and is sometimes found floating on the surface of the sea like pumice stone, near where this animal cruises. In it are often found imbedded the horny beaks of the squids on which the whale feeds. It was formerly used in medicine, but is now dissolved in alcohol and used as a base in perfumes, rendering them more lasting. It affords about 85 per cent, of a peculiar fatty ana crystalline suDsiance canea ambreln. The voyage of the Splendid In that season was a fortunate one in every respect, for she came into Littleton port, New Zealand, with the big piece of ambergris worth its weight in gold and 1,000 barrels of sperm oil, "When we arrived in port," caid Captain Etfrle yesterday. "I telegraphed to the agent of the Otago Whaling company to come up. He came, the ambergris was taken, ashore, loaded into a car, which was llteked and the key stowed away in thie agent's pocket, and he stood guard there, too, until the stuff was safely placed. The first year that I had brought any ambergris into port we got ?25 a pound for 21 pounds, but when this big piece came in the news so astonished everybody that cablegrams were sent all over the world, and the result was that the price dropped. Some went to London, but as for my own share I took it in bulk and carried it home with me. I wasn't in a nurry 10 sen it, dux inougni dy waiting the market for it would rise. I got $18 an ounce for the gray and $8 for the black, while in London it had only brought $12 and $4. The last of my j share was sold in 1891. I remained with this company until 1886, when I went home. I have taken more than a thousand sperm whales since then and have never found in any of them a piece of ambergris.?Pacific Commercial Advertiser. NOT SO EASILY WON. Henry Clny'n Correction as to the Work He Dl?l In a Trial. Mr. James Sandusky, who is an old and well-known traveler, and who has recently settled in Chicago, while coming in from Pewee Valley on the electric line yesterday afternoon, told an interesting story about Henry Clay, the great Kentucky statesman. Mr. San dusky in his youth lived In Mr. Clay's district during the time when Henry Clay was at his prime as a lawyer. "A man was once being tried for murder," said Mr. Sandusky, "and his case looked hopeless, indeed. He had, without any seeming provocation, murdered one of his neighbors in cold blood. Not a lawyer in the county would touch the case. It looked bad enough to ruin the reputation of any barrister. "The man, as a last extremity, appealed to Mr. Clay to take the case for him. Every one thought that Clay would certainly refuse. But when the r.olc>hrn tod Ioh'vop lrvnlfful tntn mnt ter his fighting blood was roused, and to the great surprise of all, he accepted "Then came a trial, the like of which I have never seen. Clay slowly carried on the case, and it looked more and more hopeless. The only ground or de fence the prisoner had was that the murdered man had looked at him with such a fierce, murderous look that out of self-defence he had struck first. A ripple passed through the jury at this evidence. "The time came for Clay to make his defence. It was settled in the minds of the spectators that the man was guilty of murder in the first degree. Clay calmly proceeded, laying all the proofs before them in his masterly way. Then, just as he was about to conclude, he played his last master card. " 'Gentlemen of the jury,' he said, as suming the fiercest, blackest look and carrying the most undying hatred in it that I have ever seen, 'gentlemen, if a man should look at you like this what would you do?' "That was all he said, but that was enough. The jury was startled, and some even quailed in their seats. The judge moved uneasily on his bench. After 15 minutes the jury filed slow ly back with a "Not guilty, your hon or.' The victory was complete. "When Clay was congratulated on hi easy victory, he said: " 'It was not as easy as you think, spent days and days in my room befor the mirror practicing that look. I took more hard work to give that lool than to investigate the most obseun case."

The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association at a late meeting held in Texas, passed a resolution confirming that the high price of beef was due tc a shortage in seed products. The following taken from the Cotton and Farm Journal, throws some light upon this subject: "The rules adopted by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts it in line with the other associations ol a similar kind in the South. It is probable that there will be no more Invasion of Mississippi and Alabama by Texas mills in search of seed. "The cattlemen who were expected here to expostulate over their alleged bad treatment during the past year have not put in appearance as yet, and may not. The crushers do not seem concerned over the threat of some ol the cattlemen to operate their own mills. The fact that the Swift Company has recently purchased half a dozen mills at different points was not commented on by any of the crushers to whom it was mentioned, save tc the effect that Swift would probably be able to use more feed than those mills would provide. "A resolution was adopted deprecating 'any act of congress that may tend to reduce the price of cattle and hogs,' and alleging that the present high price of meat is due 'to a shortage in seed products.' " This would seem to show there were two sides to this question of high beel and that in so far as Texas is concerned the price of beef is bound to vary with the price of cotton seed hulls and cotton seed meal. In proportion as the grass area of Texas has diminished, the cattle-raisers have been compelled to buy feed stuffs, and the only available feed-stuffs in quantity is cotton seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls have been selling within the last year or two in Texas as high as $14 a ton. This means that the meat supply in the future is largely dependent upon the cotton seeu oil business, and that 'he people of the Southeastern States will probably go mucn more extensively into the business of raising cattle for beef purposes after they find out as much about the values of hulls and meal as the Texas cattle man has found out by the necessities of the ase. It would seem as though the eastern farmer now has the advantage of the Texan In raising cattle for beef purposes and in handling cattle for dairy purposes. All the cotton seed products that are needed for cattle raising and competition with other markets can be had right at home through the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia, through any of its mills or its headquarters at Columbia.
