The Deacon's Strategy.
Deaton W was a staid and honest
deacon In one of the Interior towns,
who had a vein of dry, caustic humor
in his composition. The deason had a
boy of some dozen summers, who was
somewhat inclined to be a little ugly
when not under the parental eye. In
school, especially, John was a source
of constant annoyance to his teacher,
who punished him for some misdemeanor,
and he told his father that the
mistress had whipped him.
"What!" exclaimed the deacon, elevating
his eyebrows, "been whipped?"
"Y-a-s," sobbed the boy.
"An/l vfl lot o u-nmnn whin ve?"
the old deason shouted.
"Y-a-s. I couldn't help It."
"Well, John, you little rascal, you go
to school tomorrow, and if Miss E
undertakes to whip you again, you just
pitch In; don't let a woman whip you
again, if ye can help it. Don't take a
stick to strike her with, but ye may
strike, bite, scratch and kick her much
as ye have a mind to at any time."
The next day the boy went to school,
and emboldened by the permission given
by his father, was soon brought before
the tribunal for violated rules.
The teacher undertook to correct him.
The result was John got a most unmerciful
trouncing and was thoroughly
subdued. When he got home he went
to his father crying: ^
"Well, dad, I got an awful lickin'
today."
"What!" said the old deacon, "have
you let the woman whip ye again?"
"Y-a-s," said the boy.
"Y-a-s," chuckled the humorous old
deacon, "you tarnal little fool, I knew
she would, and she'll give you a tounching
every time she undertakes It, and I
advise you to behave yourself in the
future."
John began to have some perception
of his father's motive, and ever after
was a better and wiser boy.
California Cherries.?Uncle Ned is
a character, a genius, a philosopher.
With all his professional antipathy to
everything certain, he Is occasionally
surprised into an acknowledgement of
the merits of something brought to his
notice. It may not be nothing more
than the cut of a garment, the speed
of a horse, the architectual beauty of
a building, or the quality or size of
some specimen of vegetable production;
but he immediately qualifies his
remark with: "Oh! it does very well
for these regions?it wouldn't be much
in California though."
We had some very large, fine cherries
on the table one day last summer.
After surveying them ror a moment,
Uncle Ned remarked that they beat
anything he ever saw, and then there
was a short pause; "that is to say
around here."
"Uncle Ned," I said, "you never saw
a cherry in California larger than
those."
"Well, perhaps I didn't."
"Why," said I, "how large are they
in California, and how do they sell
them?"
"Well," he replied, with all the gravity
of a judge, "that depends something,
of course, upon the season of the
year. They vary in size as well as
price. They sell them by the. pound,
and If you only want a few pounds
they generally charge about 25 cents
a pound; but If you want a whole cher
ry they'll let you have It for about 15
cents a pound."
How Dick Took the TuRKEys.?A
story is told of Dick, a darkey In Kentucky,
who was a notorious thief, so
vicious in this respect that all the
thefts in the neighborhood were
charged to him. On one occasion, Mr.
Jones, a neighbor of Dick's master,
called and said that Dick must be sold
out of that part of the country, for he
had stolen all his (Jones') turkeys.
Dick's master could not think so. The
two, however, went into the field where
Dick was at work, and accused him
of the theft.
"You stoie, mr. jones tunteys, buiu
the master.
"No, I didn't, massa," responded
Dick.
The master persisted.
"Well," at length, said Dick, "I'll tell
you, massa, I didn't steal dem turkeys,
but last night I went across Mr. Jones'
pasture, and saw one of your rails on
de fence, so I brought home de rail,
and, confound it, when I come to look,
dare was nine turkeys on de rail!"
How Adam Fei.l.?In a small country
town resides a clergyman, who is
pastor of a small flock, who esteem him
highly, and whom he is fond of catechizing.
A few days since, while making
the rounds of the village, he stopped
at the house of one of his parishioners,
and after the usual salutations
had been exchanged, the conversation
ran thus:
"Well, Mrs. W., can you tell me how
Adam fell?"
The lady commenced to smile audibly,
and Anally replied: "Why, my
/I /%n M /Inntnr orO VA1V QOrlflllCl?"
UCai UVW f OrkV J vvt
"Very serious, indeed," responded the
doctor.
Mrs. W., whose husband's name
happened to be Adam, replied: "Well,
well, you shall have it, doctor. You see
Adam went to climb over the fence the
other day to go to Deacon M.'s for a
bottle of whisky, when an oar lying on
the ground took his foot. Over Adam
fell, and barked his shin; and that's
the whole truth of the matter."
t'T Two men, not too well-dressed,
stood at the corner of Second and Jefferson
streets, yesterday morning,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The face of neither wore an expression
that would betoken feelings of happiness.
Each one carried in his hand one
of those small, square satchels with
which book agents are always supplied.
While waiting for a car this conversation
passed: First Agent?Well, Harry,
did you get any orders today? Second
Agent?Not an order Will. I never
saw people so crabbed in my life. Hew
did you do? Did you get any orders?
"Oh. I did very well. I got an order
every place I went into. They ordered
me to get out, you know."

The remains were taken to Mt. Holly
Wednesday and burled Thursday
A force of about thirty hands are busy
at work around the C. & N.-W. depot
removing the narrow gauge cross ties
and substituting ties long enough for
broad gauge trains. The broad gauge
has only gotten nine miles from Gastonia,
as rails were hard to get. Ralls
are now on the way and as soon as
they arrive the work will proceed rapidly....
Jim Wilson, a colored employee
at the oil mill, met with a painful accident
last Tuesday night about 10
o'clock. He was working at the cake
former and had his left hand badly
crushed at the wrist. One bone was
broken and the wrist badly mashed. It
will not be necessary to amputate the
member. Jim was new to the work,
being a rugular employee at another
part of the mill, and did not thoroughly
understand the machine. The Negro
is about 27 years old and is unmarried
At a meeting of the Epworth
League at Mrs. M. V. Patterson's

Wilks's barn was burned yesterday
morning about 4 o'clock, together with
a horse, two mules, two cows and all
his forage. Mr. Wilks was away from
home and had one mule with him, the
| only one saved. The barn was set on
I fire, according to report, and it is said
that the incendiary is known. Mr.
Wilks had no insurance and the loss is
severe We have a double barreled
pistol that is something of a curiosity.
It was given to us by Mr. Harvey H.
Bell, of Alliance, to whom it was given
by Mr. Thomas Carlisle, of Blackstock.
Where he got it we do not
know, but there is evidence that it has
spent a large part of its existence
without an owner. One barrel is directly
over the other, and it has an oldfashioned
flint and steel lock. The
same priming pan, which is on top,
served for both barrels, a little lever
on the side shutting off the touchhole
to the lower barrel until the upper barrel
was fired, and it would be necessary
to reprime before firing the lower barrel.
Both could be discharged at once
by leaving both touch-holes open. For
anything that appears now, the aim
could hardly have been very accurate.
There may have been a sight on the
end of the upper barrel, but it would
have to be more than an inch high, else
it would be concealed by the lock. It
would be interesting to know the history
and achievements of this weapon?
who was "the man behind the gun"
and the men who fell before it.

The new city hall has been received

city court room In the hall Tuesday
morning. In the future all business
connected with city affairs will be attended
to at the office in that building
having jurisdiction in the matter in
hand. In the building is the office of
chief of police, the city clerk's office,
the mayor's office and city court room,
the eitv orison, rooms for the city fire
fighting machines and the public library
rooms. The building has a perfect
sewerage system, is lighted by electricity
and all the offices and prison
are furnished in modern style. The
hall is an ornament to the city and a
monument to the good taste and enterprise
of both the city and her officials....
The improvements in the way
of large new business houses which
have recently been made on Limestone
and Granard streets and the large business
interests which have followed
them, makes it necessary for the new
conditions to be recognized in a manner
suited to their present business importance.
In order to do this Birnie
and Meadow should be opened and extended
so as to connect with the eastern
and western extension of Frederick
street. By doing this these new business
sections would become more accessible
to the upper and lower sections
of the county, would make two
pretty streets and open for improvement
and occupation, new and desirable
property right in the heart of the
city. The opening of these two streets
have long been desired by the well
wishers of our progressive city. Now it
is a necessity and we trust that the
proper authorities will give the matter
the attention its importance deserves
About three weeks ago a
Mr. Wilson, of Spartanburg, hired a
horse and buggy to Jake Spencer, a
white man, from the upper part of this
county, and although dilligent enquiry
had been made and reward offered,
nothing was heard of horse, buggy or
Spencer, until Monday when Spencer
was arrested here by the city police
for stealing $1.25 from Mr. Henry Henderson,
of this city. When Spencer
gave his name, the officers knew they
had the horse and buggy thief and notified
the Spartanburg authorities, and
upon further enquiry found the horse
and buggy at Cline Bros.' livery stable,
where Spencer had sold it to them
several days before for $42. Constable
Dearman, of Spartanburg, came down
Monday and carried Spencer to Spartanburg,
where he is in jail awaiting
trial. The horse and buggy were re
turned to Mr. Wilson.

simple but impressive ceremony which
united the lives of these happy young

Bubonic Plaque on the Pacific
Coast.?Despite the reassuring statements
of Surgeon General Wyman of
the Marine Hospital service, says a
Washington letter, no doubt exists in
regard to the bubonic plague situation
on the Pacific coast.
For some time the Marine Hospital
service has declared that the disease
~an/1 in tin ho np'pr of
WiXO WCll ill naiiu aim ?u ??w v.M..0 ? ?
spreading, but boards of health In
many states hold a somewhat different
view, and there will be a full discussion
of the subject at the coming meeting
of these boards in Washington,
January 19.
Bubonic plague first made its appearance
in this country more than two
years ago at San Francisco, although
the California authorities denied for
several months that the disease existed
there at all. The matter was taken in
hand by the Federal authorities after
a bitter controversy between the treasury
department and California and San
Francisco officials.
During the last year, the disease has
spread to Oakland, Davisville, -Marysville
and even'to Sacramento. Still
Surgeon General Wyman, who has just
returned from San Francisco, declares
there is nothing to be alarmed about.
The situation has been complicated
by breaking out of the disease at Mazatlan,
Mexico.
For some reason the Marine Hospital
service's weekly bulletin issued yesterday,
omits for the first time in nearly
^wo years, the reports of plague at
San Francisco. This is not because
i*
the disease is on ine wane, iw ?.nc
death rate from this cause has not, it
is learned from official sources, decreased.
Madr Rich by a Whipping.?Judicious
application of the birch is supposed
to have wrought wonders in the
[characters of many boys, but it remains
for a British journal to record a
single whipping that made its victim a
millionaire.
Twenty years ago, a man named
Mago was a English collector of insects
in Guatemala, and the British viceconsul
at San Jose. One day Commandante
Gonzalez ordered him to appear
before that official. Mago sent
him word that he would come in a
short time. This Incensed the commandante,
and he sent a file of soldiers
after the Insect collector, and when he
appeared, ordered seventy-five lashes
to be laid upon his bare back. When
it was finished, Gonzalez shouted:
"Give him twenty-five more for
luck!"
When Mago recovered, he made a
formal complaint to the British government.
The result was that Guatemala
was ordered to punish Gonzalez,
and to pay Mago five hundred dollars
for every lash he had received.
Guatemala punished Gonzalez; but
tried hard to avoid paying fifty thousand
dollars to Mago. The British
government, however, was inexorable,
and the poor collector was made a rich
man in one day.
Mago became one cf the largest coffee
planters in Guatemala, and also
secured the contract for building docks
in the ports. He owns valuable mines
and tracts of timber. His fortune is
now estimated at five million dollars,
all due to one hundred lashes on his
back.
The Husband Who Deserts.?A law
which is being urged by the State
Charities Aid association, of New Jersey,
makes the desertion of a wife by
her husband a felony. An agitation for
such a law was begun two years ago,
being founded partly on reports from
the Charity Organization society, of
this city.
In New York a man who deserts his
family is called a disorderly person and
may be put under bonds. He belongs
to a class which, according to the returns
of the United Hebrew Charities,
caused 5 per cent, of the new applications
for aid in 1899. In that same year
in Boston 91 per cent, of the appeals
for help came from deserted wives
and children. Philadelphia admitted a
still larger percentage, and it is asserted
there that the readiness of charity
organizations to take up abandoned
victims of unfortunate wedlock encourages
husbands and fathers to desert.
Some general penalty of deterrent
weight should be provided to fall with
certainty upon the fugitive from family
duties, wherever he may be found.?
