jftumorous Jlrpartmrnt. Too Much For Him.?The proprietor of a tanyard built a stand on one of the main streets of a Virginia town for the purpose of selling leather and buying new hides. When he had completed the building he considered for a long time what sort of sign to put up to attract attention to the new establishment. Finally a happy thought struck him. He bored an auger hole through the doorpost and stuck a calfs tail into it with the tufted end outside. After a while he saw a solemn- I faced man standing near the door looking at the sign, his eyes in a round, meditative stare behind his spectacles. The tanner watched him a minute, then stepped out and addressed him. "Good morning, sir," he said. "Morning," said the other, without taking his eyes off the sign. "Want to buy leather?" asked the tanner. "No." "Got any hides to sell?" "No." "Are you a farmer?" "No." "Merchant?" "No." ^ "Lawyer?" VNo." "No." "What are you, then?" "I'm a philosopher. I've been standing here for an hour trying to figure how that calf got through that auger hole."?Chicago News. "Opt of Sioht."?When the late Mark Hanna was running the Republican national campaign in 1896, in New York, says Leslie's Weekly, he was bored by a politician who endeavored to make the chairman from Ohio see everything in a rosy way by relating anecdotes without much point. "You remind me of an Englishman," said the senator, "who was walking up Fifth avenue with an American gifted with a vocabulary of slang. A handsomely dressed young woman passed and the American exclaimed, 'She is out of sight.' The Englishman was nonplused, but when it was explained that 'out of sight meant stunning or beautifully dressed, he declared it was deuced clever, don't you know. Soon afterward the Englishman met a fellowcountryman, and they went up Broadway together. An elegantly attired woman passed them. " 'By Jove! she Is not there!' exclaimed the Englishman who had been taught slang. " 'But she. Is there, old boy; where are your eyes?' asked the other. " 'Oh, I mean she can not be seen.' " I see her all right; are you blind?' " Strange,' said the slang-taught Englishman; 'when that American used a clever phrase it was funny and apropos, but when I use it I am thought stupid and blind.' " Restrained Raob.?"In a match game, in an argument, in everything," said Walter J. Travis, the famous golfer. "it pays to keep cool. No matter how greatly you may be exasperated, you will make out better if you restrain your rage. 'There was once a man who saw a waiter in a fashionable restaurant spill a tureen of tomato soup all over a young woman's white gown. "The young woman Instead of flying into a passion, smiled. She said it didn't matter. She continued to eat and to talk as though nothing had happened." "This so impressed the man that he got an introduction to the young woman, proposed to her at the end of a month or so and was accepted. "Some time after the marriage he spoke of the tomato soup accident. " 'I shall never forget it,' said the bride. " 'Your conduct,' said the man, 'caused me to determine to marry you if you would have me.' "She smiled. . " *1 remember,' she said, 'that I did behave very well at the time, but I wish you could have seen the marks of my teeth on the bedstead that night.' "?New York Tribune. Hard to Catch Up.?Two Slleslans, seated In a music hall, began to argue about the music of Wagner. The argument as it progressed grew heated. The upshot was that the younger challenged the older Sileslan to a duel: But the older Sileslan declined to tight. "No, no," he said. "I refuse to meet you. The risks are not equal. You. you see, are a bachelor, whereas I am a married man with three children. I'll tell you what to do. UO gel married unu wait, uum ;uui family Is as large as mine. Then, when our risks are alike, come and challenge me again." The younger man complied. He married. Three years passed and one day three years later he went, accompanied by a nursemaid, to his opponent's home. "Here I am," he said fiercely. "My wife Is at home. In this coach are my three children. Now for the duel." But the older man shook his head. "Not yet awhile," he said. "I have five now." An Echo Alarm-Clock.?President Murphy of the Chicago National league club told at a baseball dinner a remarkable echo story. "There was a man," he began, "who had a country house in the Catskills. He was showing a visitor over his grounds one day, and coming to a hilly place, he said: " "There's a remarkable echo here. If you stand under that rock and shout, the echo answers four distinct times, with an interval of several minutes be tween each answer.' "But the visitor was not at all impressed. He said, with a loud laugh: " 'You ought to hear the echo at my place at Sunapee. Before getting into bed at night I stick my head out of the window and shout, 'Time to get up, William!' and the echo wakes me at 7 o'clock sharp the next morning." " tir "I used to know Mr. Sneeker who was with your firm. I understand he is a tried and trusted employee?" "He was trusted, yes, and he'll be tried, too, if we're fortunate enough to catch him."

Sifford "moved to themselves" yesterday and will keep house on Dallas street Mr. Jacob Rhyne died yesterday morning at the home of his sister, Mrs. Rhyne, near the covered bridge, aged about seventy years. His wife died about a year ago. His surviving children are Messrs. Jeff and Jasper Rhyne, Mrs. Luther Rhyne, Mrs. John- Rhyne and^MIss Minnie Rhyne. He will be buried at Chapel church this morning at 11 o'clock, after services conducted by Rev. John Hall Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Ragan, who live near New Hope church, are called upon to mourn the death of their little tenyear-old daughter, Annie, which occurred yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The cause of her death was Bright's disease from which she had been a lingering sufferer for many months. Two brothers and two sisters older than herself and two sisters younger are left in the sadly broken family circle. Mr. Ragan is a brother of Messrs. G. W. and J. D. Ragan and Mrs. J. J. Kincaid of Gastonia, all of whom will probably attend the funeral today A marriage in which Yorkville, Due West and Gastonia feel a common interest was that of James F. Thomson and Miss Statia Wideman, which was eel ebrated so auspiciously in Due West, S. C., last Wednesday afternoon. The bride, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Wldeman, was lately the lady principal of Llnwood college and is a lady of culture and unusual accomplishments, who, by her tact, graclousness, and administrative talent, was signally successful in her official duties, pleasing alike in a rare degree the students and the management of that institution. Mr. Thomson, the groom, until a year ago the manager of the Thomson company in Gastonia, is now at the head of the new and thrifty dry goods company bearing the same name in Yorkville. Quiet, unassuming straight forward, agreeable, he is one of the best and most successful business men to be found anywhere. So unwilling is Gastonia to relinquish her claim upon him, that we feel obliged to regard his stay in Yorkville as a loan which that good town must some day return. At the 1 n a whifh was eplphratert at the home of the bride's parents in Due West at 1 o'clock, Mr. J. Flem Johnson of Gastonia, was best man, and the bride's sister, Miss Frances, was maid of honor. The house was lavishly decorated with flowers and plants. A song by Miss Gertrude Brownlee was followed by the wedding march grandly rendered on the piano. The halls and parlor were thronged with resident and visiting friends. The maid of honor entered the parlor first, and was followed by the groom and his best man. The bride entered with her brother. Dr. S. A. Wldeman of Woodruff, who gave her away. Amid barfks of flowers, in the presence of the bright, admiring throng, while the strains of soft music whispered low. the ceremony was Impressively pronounced by Rev. O. Y. Bonner, pastor of the Due West Presbyterian church. The prayer was offered by Rev. R. F. Bradley. After congratulations were tendered, a course of light refreshments of salads, tea, and punch was served. The bride and groom then took their departure for New York and other northern cities for a trip of ten days. They were joined in New York by Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bryan of Gastonia. and upon their return will keep house at Mr. Thomson's present home in Yorkvllle. The warmest good wishes of all their Gastonia friends attend them. SOUTH CftROUR How the Spirit of Liberty Unconqueral Ily REV. ROBEE1 From the Torkville Enquirer of 1876. INSTALLMENT XXVII. i Marion and Hit Men. , When on the twenty-fifth of July, i 1780, uenerai uaies joineu me tum; under DeKalb, on Deep river and took command of the forces sent by congress to assist the south, Francis Marlon was in camp. For a short time he had been enjoying the hospitality of DeKalb, and profiting by the conversations of that brave man and experienced soldier. Marion had with him about twenty followers; some men and some boys; some white and some black. The dress of all was most unsightly. Their coats were nearly worn out and the men themselves were weather beaten. All?Marion as well as the rest?wore a little home made leather cap, which made them look most ludicrous. When they rode into DeKalb's camp, the Continental soldiers raised a shout. The ragged garments, little leather cap and unpromising appearance of the men filled the camp with merriment. When Gates took command of the ^rmy. Marion was introduced to him, but that proud officer seems to have discovered nothing in Marion worthy of his notice. Governor Rutledge of South Carolina was also in uateB camp and recommended Marlon, but Oates was above being advised either with respect to men or measures. To get rid of Marion and his ragged men, Gates sent them, after commencing his march to the rear of Cornwallls, to burn the boats on the Santee. The diversion which Marion and his men caused was becoming troublesome to the officers and Marlon and his men, although they loved their country, stlH were glad to be separated from companions, who made no other use of them than to make sport of them. As an offset to this disagreeable state of things by which Marion and his few men were surrounded, he received an invitation from the Whigs of Williamsburg county to come and assist them in repelling the inroads of the enemy. The-inhabitants of the region bordering on Kingstree knew more about Marion than General Gates did and they were anxious that he should be their leader. Gates and his army were on the march in the direction of Camden, when Marlon received this invitation. Governor Kuueage ui ouum Carolina was with the army of Gates. So soon as Rutledge heard of the request sent up by the Whigs of Williamsburg, he commissioned Marion as a brigadier general. Let us go back and inquire what it was that prompted these men to send for Marlon. In 1732 the year that Marlon was born, the region of country that now bears the name of Williamsburg, was settled by a colony of ScotchIrish. These people left their native land that they might get rid of the onerous burdens laid upon them by the unrighteous exactions of cruel landlords and the proud and dictatorial clergy of the established church. The Huguenots, to which race Marion belonged, were driven to America by the cruel and relentless persecutors, who lived in the days of Louis the Fourteenth. We may readily conclude that the Huguenot settlers on the Santee, sympathiz- < ed with the Scotch-Irish settlers on Black river. They lived In harmony as neighbors and together they rushed to the front In 1776, to drive the British from the state. Side by side they had fought the wild Indians;; side by side they had fought under Moultrie In Fort Sullivan and at Savannah; and with General Lincoln, many of both the Huguenots and Scotch-Irish, surrendered. The reason why the people of Williamsburg Invited Francis Marlon to take command of them, was they knew him and had confidence In him, both as a soldier and a patriot. That which I prompted them to organize at this period was this; When Charleston was surrendered many of the Williamsburg militia were made prisoners. These prisoners were paroled and permitted to return to their homes. Maj. John James, the son of William James, one of the first settlers of the township had been sent back by Governor Rut ledge from Charleston to Williamsburg, to train the militia. When ' Gen. Lincoln surrendered, Maj. John James was at his home in the neighborhood of Indlantown church. Maj. James and all those citizens of Williamsburg who were not in Charleston at the time of the surrender, were, by a proclamation issued by the British commander, required to take up arms in the support of the English government. This was simply requiring them to turn out and fight their countrymen. This proclamation thoroughly aroused the settlers in the vicinity of Kingtree and Indiantowh church. At that time a British officer by the name of Ardesoif was in command of Georgetown. The people of Williamsburg township met and appointed Maj. John James to visit Ardesoif and learn from him what was the true import of this royal proclamation. James ever ready to serve his country, mounted his horse and rode down to Georgetown. Suspecting that the interview between himself and Ardesoif might not be of the most pleasant cnaracier, ne took the precaution to hitch his horse i near the door. On entering the of- I flee of the British commander, he in i true Irish style announced his ' business and asked In a manly tone of voice on what terms he and others i similarly situated with himself must < submit. Ardesoif haughtily replied, > "On no other terms than uncondi- ' tional surrender." "But," remarked Maj. James, "will we not be allowed < to remain at home in peace and 1 quiet?" "No," replied Ardesoif, "you have rebelled against your king and I you ought to be hung like dogs; but . his majesty is merciful and he pro- i poses to pardon all your past offences, 1 on the condition that you take up arms < and fight for his cause." Both James and Ardesoif were by this time I thoroughly enraged. Both rose to I their feet. Ardesoif's hand was on t his sword. James was unarmed, but ! he took hold of the chair on which I he had been sitting, and with it be- i tween him and Ardesoif, he gently i gave back In the direction of the 1 door, near which his horse stood ( hitched. Ardesoif cautiously followed. On reaching the door James with a I 'defiant look said; "Sir, the gentle- I I tH i RttNUIMR; Was Kept Alive By an ? ble People. I t C LATIIAN, 13. D. < \ t men whom I represent will never j submit to any such conditions." Ar- t desoif swore like a fiend and threat- ] ened vengeance upon him and the r rebels whom he represented. p So soon as James declared that p neither he nor his friends would sub- <3 mit to unconditional surrender, he | leaped out of the door, mounted his c horse and dashed away to Indian- p town church. His course was ap- r proved by his neighbors and three p cavalry companies were raised to de- i Tend the country against the British. a The captains of these three com- 8 panies were John James, Henry p Mouzon and John Macaulay. In f this community there was at the t :lme, a company commanded by v William McCottry. These companies j .vere organized perhaps in July. s So soon as the British learned that p he people of Williamsburg were 0 still in a state of rebellion, Lleuten- p int Banastre Tarleton was sent a from Charleston to kill in the bud, t :he patriotism of the Scotch-Irish of Williamsburg. On the 8th of Au- j rust, Tarleton crossed the Santee at -] Lenud's ferry and pushed on, crossed e Black liver a short distance below 0 Kingtree. MaJ. James was on ? Lynche's creek. He sent McCottry to p, Klngstree, hut Tarleton was gone be- 9 fore McCottry's arrival. It seems f lhat a rumor was afloat in the coun try that Col. Washington with a T arge cavalry force, would soon be c n the Williamsburg region. Tarle- t ton took advantage of this rumor t ind passed himself off as Col. Wash- n ngton and completely deceived the people. From Kingtree he set out In Amercan uniform for Camden to Join the irmy at that point. James Bradley, >ne of the first settlers of the coun- ^ try and at that time a venerable old nan, was fooled by Tarleton's Amercan uniform. Tarleton told the pa* 1 trlarch that he was Col. Washington * ind that he was seeking an opportu- 8 ilty to attack the British. Mr. ' Bradley who was a man of influence 1 md had a perfect knowledge of ev- r ?rythlng connected with the lmmedi- F ite country, told In the simplicity of r lis heart and innocence of his soul, v iverythlng he knew. Tarleton pre- d lending to be Col. Washington prevailed upon the old man to act as Ms guide across the swamps of <3 Black river. When Tarleton had ac- fl lomplished all he desired, he threw F )ff his disguise and avowed himself 8 is Tarleton. * Vn mon /.on onnrnvo of such an C let. It was mean and Inhuman, ' James Bradley was puc in Irons and J ;aken to Camden. For some dlabol- a cal purpose, he was, frequently dur- I ngr his long confinement at Camden taken out to witness the barbarous t ixecutlon of his countrymen and of- ' ten was the threat made that his * time would be next. To the honor <5 it the old man he ever replied: "I im ready at any time to die for my ^ country." In May, 1781, James r Bradley was released; but he bore a the marks of the irons upon his legs s to his grave. t On his march from Kingtree to c Camden, Tarleton burnt and de- " stroyed everything In his way. All t the houses on the plantation of Capt. s Henry Mouzon together with their contents, were burnt to ashes. The o fiouse of James Bradley was also t 4 ? TlTll t ourru as well us me uuuseo ui nil- liam and Edward Plowden. These acts of cruelty prompted t the three companies organized In r fuly and McCottry's company, to send tor Francis Marion. The largest of t :hese four companies was McCottry's 1 ind it contained only seventy-flve \ men, when organized before the fall s >f Charleston. These four compa- " tiles, together with some twenty-five k jr thirty men and boys with Marion / when he was commissioned briga- a dler general, constituted what was known as "Marion's Brigade." We t must not confound Marion's brigade r ft'ith Marion's regiment. The latter c consisted of nine hundred companies <3 md ceased to exist on the fall of t Charleston. <3 After parting with Gates' army at a ?ome point between Deep river and v Camden, General Marion hastened to c the region between Camden and a Charleston. With that zeal and energy a tor which he was noted during all His ^ life, he began the work of destroying nnnn kho rival's Thp nhlAPt v it this destruction as stated before a was to prevent Cornwallls from re- r treating to Charleston. Gates caleu- a lated on nothing less than the complete j sxtermlnatlon of all the British troops c in the region of Camden. t So soon as it was learned that Mar Ion was on the Santee the Whigs docked to him. The four Williamsburg t companies were all mounted and sent a under command of Col. Peter Horry Into the region of country around t CJeorgetown. General Marion with a j. few men directed his course towards g the upper Santee. On the 17th of August, he heard of s Sates' defeat at Gum Swamp on the ^ day before. The news of this defeat / was carefully concealed by Marlon c from his men, lest it might make the ^ already sad, sadder. That night his v scouts brought him information that j i large British force, with a consldera- t ble number of prisoners were In the t neighborhood of Nelson's ferry. This was just what Marion desired. Ho e wanted to do something to revive the j spirits of his men. The fact of Gates' v defeat, he knew they would soon learn a and under no more favorable circumstances could this fact be learned than when releasing those who had been ^ captured by the enemy. No doubt f Marion had another object in view. c Most naturally would he conclude that the prisoners when released, would t join his little band and render good j service to their country. In this fond r hope, as we will see he was disappoint- i ed. f No sooner had he learned that a Brit- j, Ish force was in striking distance, than lie set about making preparations for v attacking it. Nelson's ferry Is on the j Santee near the corner of Orangeburg, f Sumter and Charleston counties. It is ^ about thirty-five miles from Klngstree; t about the same distance from Sumter- v rllle and fifty or sixty miles from Charleston. y About sun down, on the evening of y the 19th of August, the British guard n In charge of one hundred and fifty prls- h mers who had been captured In the C ate battle near Camden, crossed the Jan tee at Nelson's ferry. They halted 8 or the purpose of spending the light at what was called the 'Blue House." The party had no Idea hat they were In any danger and the ? arly part of the night was spent in 0 lnging comic songs and drinking ap- d >le brandy. Late in the night, over- ? ome with fatigue and full of apple t( >randy, the British sunk into silence. b )nly a small detachment was left to tf s-atch the American prisoners. c Marlon and his men pretending to ? e a party of loyalists on their way to a oin the British, crossed the river be- 8 ween midnight and day. Col. Hugh 0 lorry wun sixteen orave auu iuuiuk ~ nen was detached and sent to occupy " he road In front of the British. The n dan was to begin the attack just at h lawn of day?Horry In front and Maron in the rear. The surprise was not a omplete but the victory was. On ap- & troachlng the "Blue House," the sentliels in front of the house fired upon tl he Americans and ran into the house. " Joth Marion and Horry pursued them t< nd in a moment the whole party was n urrounded. The British and Tories n lanlc stricken, ran in every direction, b Nineteen British regulars and two d Tories were taken prisoners; three tl i-ere killed. One captain and also a n lubaltern were also captured. The d polls were a wagon loaded with sup- n dies, and one hundred and fifty pris- |< ners released. Marion's loss was com- v taratlvely nothing?one man killed F .nd Capt. Benson wounded slightly on a u. ? Jk m ne iicoaj. , The recaptured prisoners were most- ? y Continentals of the Maryland line. ? "hese were part of the men, who only a , few weeks before, had made all sorts >f sport of Marion and his ragged a nen. Marlon offered to take these 11- t< erated prisoners Into his brigade, but n trange and ungrateful aa it may ap- tl tear, only two, possibly three, could be e nduced to Join the ranks of the man c trho had liberated them. They were ? omplctely demoralised. They said f heir country's cause was hopeless and s hey were unwilling again to risk their Ives In freedom's cause.

One day, while h cratchlng about the barn door, she ound a grain of wheat, and began to h hink what could be done with it Pi- 91 tally, she went about asking, "who will tlant this grain of wheat?" The 15 at said, "I won't; the cat said, "I c von't;" the dog said, "I won't;" the n luck said, "I won't;" and the pig said, 8 I wont:" n Do you think that the little hen was ? liscouraged? Not at all. She simply ^ aid, "I will, then," and proceeded to a tlant it. Then, when the wheat grew, A he asked, "Who will harvest this c vheat?" the rat said, "I won't;" the ~ :at said, "I won't;" tne aog saia, * von't;" the duck said, "I won't;" the >ig said, "I wont;" Very well, then," aid the little red hen, "I will harvest a t myself." ^ But the task was not over Said ' he little red hen, "Who will take this e vheat to mill?" The rat said, "I von't;" the cat said, "I won't;" the n log said, "I won't;" the duck said, n I won't;" the pig said, "I won't" d thereupon the little red hen wasted 10 more words, but went to the mill c ilone. When she had the flour, she * aid, "Who will make this flour Into g iread?" The rat said, "I won't"; the b at said, "I won't;" the dog said, "I e ..

In the good old once upon-a-time, here lived in a certain town a great nany men who were anxious to succeed in business, and to make a great leal of money. There was one of hem in rarticular who was very In lustrlous and extremely wise. He .sked, "who In order to win success Is billing to spend a gTeat deal of money in advertising the I'act that they have I l business?" Then flrsit one and then J mother said, "I won't;" but this one vise man said, "I will." ? After awhile, this man's business h tegan to grow, and he told the world t, ibout it through the columns of the lewspapers. Whereupon, not being ? elfish, he wished his friends to share 01 n the prosperity that immediately :ame to him. He had more business a han he well knew what to do with. 'See," he said, "what advertising has e lone for me; won't you advertise, y oo?" One said, "I won't;" another aid, "I won't," and still another said, f 'I won't." Still, the wise man conInued to advertise, and still he urged lis friends to enjoy with him th's rare ;ood thing. ~ After a time, there came a dull sea- h on, and the business of the town jjj vas not so good as It had been. In j! act, there was business enough for ig inly a few, and every bit of it went to I* he man who advertised, the man vho was indefatigable in advertising ? n season and out of season. The oth- ? irs felt very discouraged, and went to i he wise man for advice.

She made her wn personal Intercessions to heaven nd then prayed for all poor sinners vlng In the darkness of estrangelent from God, "particularly this unappy man lying under my bed, mediating the wickedness of stealing nd perhaps of murder." This womn saved the situation. I cannot imagine a worse situation ban that of a certain steeplejack rho found himself one day at the }p of a church steeple with a madlan grinning Into his eyes. The madlan was hlB mate. Both men had een at work on this steeple for many ays and had talked together while hey hung in the saddles with the utmost accord, but on this particular ay one of the men looked up to see mdness in the eyes of his oompan>n.

The madman huckled, and announced that they rould get below in double quick time, or he was going, to jump from the, teeple with his friend in his arms The other laughed as if at a good est, and turned to his work. Then ie began pushing with his feet gainst the steeple to get a swing nto his saddle; he meant to grab he madman and hold him till help ame.

To Account for 9tranoe Dreams. -I think very often our dreams are Jumble of ideas that we have Ineritfed, and that dreaming Is largef a kind of free play of what I have ailed ancestral memory. We dream of things which we have ever experienced in our waking moments. I remember a very realistic ream. It was a battle, and I was i a regiment of cavalry that reel ved an order to charge. The rhole scene is vividly before me aa write, and were I an artist I oouid ketch the face of the man who rode y my side. I can feel the throb of agerness, tho thudding of the orses' hoofs in the mad rush as we ulckened our pace to get to closer uarters with those we were pursuig. Suddenly the squadron of men in ront opened, wheeling off to the Ight and left, and we were looking ito the iron throats of a masked attery. They opened Are upon us? moment after the ear splitting founder, and I was in a hell of moke, dust, blood, and metal; evry piece seemed to sing a war chant f Its own. Then I awoke, and I was houting, "God! I never knew It was nything like this." Here surely is amething experienced by an ancesar which has descended from geneation to generation and taken its lace in my collection of impreslons.?Nineteenth Century.
