tumorous Jlrpartrafut. Quite Enough. ? A gentleman quite prominent In Washington official life tells the following as illustrative of the inability of the average Englishman to see a joke: The gentleman in question recently had to dinner a Briton but lately arrived on this side. It appears that the foreigner was much impressed by the extremely dusky complexion of the maid who waited upon them. The maid in question, an excellent servant, was brought from the south by the official's wife. All through the dinner the host and hostess were greatly amused to note the look of astonishment that would now and then appear upon the usually stolid countenance of the Britisher. "I say. you know!" exclaimed the Briton, when the maid had departed, "that's an uncommonly black young person, don't you know?" "I'm inclined to agree with you," said the host. "Yes," remarked the hostess, "she > is certainly black." Then she added, smilingly, "And now what do you suppose her name is?" "Upon my soul," asserted the foreigner, earnestly, "I could never guess, you know! What is It?" "Her name is Lily!" "Lily!" murmured the Englishman, dazedly. "Lily! Fancy now! Why should she be called Lily when she is so black? I should think, you know, that Lily would be a more appropriate name for a blonde!"?Woman's Home Companion. Longfellow's Letter.?a somewhat amusing if not a laughable incident might be related of the schoolboy days of the poet Longfellow. It is told that on one occasion when at grammar school the teacher gave each pupil a subject on whch to write a letter. This was given as a home exercise, and was to be presented in the morning, ^for the teacher's correction. Longfellow was told to write all he knew on any subject he wished to choose. Next morning the teacher was not a little amused to receive the following from him: Mr. Phinney had a turnip and it grew behind the barn, It grew there and it grew there, and the turnip did no harm. It grew there and it grew there 'til , it could grow no taller, Mr. Phinney pulled it up and put it in the cellar.

They espied a woodchuck, to which the dog gave chase, and drove him into a stone wall, mhotu, nollnn nnmm?np?1 at once. "Abe's" sympathies being with the dog, he decided to take a hand and help him. So, putting himself In position, with the ax above the dog, he waited for the extraction of the chuck. Soon ' an opportunity offered, and "Abe" struck, but at the same time the woodchuck gathered himself up and pulled the dog in far enough for him to receive the blow, and the dog was killed. For years after, in relating the story, "Abe" would always add: "And thet dog don't know to this day but what thet woodchuck killed him." a Colored "Bum.." ? "Private" John Allen says that an old darky preacher in Mississippi was recently approached by a deacon in the church, who desired to gain the reverend gentleman's consent to his daughter's marriage with him, the deacon. "I doan' know 'bout dis," said the preacher dubiously. "Tou ain't sich a young man, deacon. I ain't shore dat you kin support mah chile!" The deacon bridled. "Dere won't be no trouble 'bout dat, sah!" he as serted, warmly. "I kin support her all right!" The minister reflected for a ntoment. "Has you eber seen my Chloe eat?" he Anally asked. "I has, sah!" came from the suitor. "But, sah!" exclaimed the old preacher, Impressively, "has you eber seen her eat when nobody was ? a-watchin' her?" ? ? How She Compromised. ? "This somewhat grasping spirit," said Senator Burrows, in the course of a recent argument, "reminds me of a lady who dropped in the other day at a certain bank. ? "Going to the paying teller's window she opened her pockebook, took out a check and pushed It under the brass grating. " 'Cash this please,' she said. "The paying teller, after one glance at the check, pushed it back to the woman again. " "There is my husband's signature,' said the woman excitedly. " 'Yes, I know,' admitted the teller, 'but there Is no amount.' " 'Oh never mind that, said the woman impatiently. 'Give me what there is.' " ? She Had Discrimination and Tact. ?In a western Massachusetts town lived a young woman who is blessed with both discrimination and tact. The first of these admirable qualities she had displayed by her two marriages. Her first husband was a minister?a most delightful man. He died, and, after a lapse of five or six years, she was united to his brother, who was a successful lawyer In New York. On the library desk stands a picture of the first partner of her Joys and sorrows, and one day a curious caller asked whom the photograph represented. "That," said the hostess, with evident emotion, "is a picture of my husband's brother, who was very dear to us both!" 32T "Mr. Schirk," said his wife's mother, sternly, "Mary tells me that you won't help her at all; that you won't even hold the baby." "That ain't so," replied Schirk. "Why, I held It for her quite a long while last evening." "Indeed? How long?" "Why, long enough for her to go down cellar an' git a scuttle o' coal." iHisccltuncous grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. New* and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchange*. LANCA8TER.

Gaffney Ledger, September 7: This section was visited Monday afternoon by a severe electrical storm. A colored girl, daughter of Jack Service, a respectable colored man living near Draytonville, was instantly killed while nursing her mother's baby. The baby was severely shocked and portions of Its body were blistered, but it will recover. Mr. Prayor Humphries, while on his way home from GafTney, stopped at Mr. Jud McCraw's house to shelter from the storm. A flash of lightning killed one of Mr. McCraw's cows, stunned a mule belonging to Mr; Robin McCraw, and also shocked Mr. Humphries. In the Maud section the storm was very severe, but there are no fatalities reported, although large trees were blown down and considerable damage was done to growing crops Arthur Hasty is carrying his right arm in a sling as a result of a difference with a Southern railway conductor. Arthur's version of the affair is about as follows: Last Thursday night he bought a ticket from Gaffney to Greer, where he now resides, ana got on m? nam anu went to sleep. He was carried past Greer, and when he awoke he was near Seneca. He asked the conductor to give him a pass back to Greer on No. 36, but the conductor conceived the idea that he was trying to beat his way. Hasty insisted that he went by the station unintentionally and went on to Toccoa, Ga., when the conductor Insisted on his getting off. Hasty got the wrong hat on leaving the train and started back into the coach to exchange hats, when the train started off. The conductor, being under the impression that Hasty was insisting on beating his way, told him to get off. He tried to explain, but his explanation would not be accepted, and the porter pushed him from the steps while the train was In motion. The fall hurt his back and broke one of the small bones of the wrist. Hasty insists that he was raising no disturbance, and that the account in the Greenville News Is erroneous. CHESTER.

The young people were Mr. Wesley Pethel of the Gaston Iron works and Miss Mattie Bell, the popular daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Bell. The couple went to the residence of Rev. W. H.

Spurlin's head and body were crushed by the train. From the evidence of a young white boy who Raw Spurlln fussing with two negroes. Bill Jones and John Allison, several hours previous to the time his body was found. It seems that he was the victim of foul play and was placed on the track to prevent suspicion. A brick bat covered with blood was also found. Jones and Allison were both arrested, charged with committing the murder. They were given a hearing before a Qrover magistrate yesterday and were sent to jail to await the coming term of Cleveland court Miss Jane Underwood, an aged maiden lady who lived alone in the South Point neighborhood, was found dead In her bed Sunday morning. For a long time she made her home with the late Esquire Smith and at his death she was given a life time right to the old home. Early Saturday Miss Underwood was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Pursley with every appearance of good health. Aft ter leaving for her home nothing more was seen of her until she was found dead. Very little Is known of her life, as she lived alone and associated with her neighbors very little. The funeral services were conducted at Union church Sunday by her pastor, Rev. G. A.

The bale weighed 541 pounds and was sold to the Loray mills for 10 cents A mass meeting of the town's most influential business men was held in the commercial club rooms Monday night for the purpose of considering the advisability of having Gastonia as a location for the C. & N.-W. railway shops. It is understood on good authority that the shops at Chester are unequal to the demand made on them and that the present location is very unsatisfactory and Inconvenient. Oastonla seems to be the most logical place for the shops and If the town will offer the proper Inducements, the company will probably locate the shops here. A committee composed of Messrs. G. A. Gray, J. K. Dixon, J. O. White, B. M. Holland, C. B. Armstrong, T. L. Craig, V. E. Long and A. E. Moore were appointed to confer with the railroad officials to learn on what terms they can be Induced to come to Gastonia with the shops. Everybody seems to want the shops here, and the business men of the town are becoming Interested. It has been rumored that the railroad has been considering the plant of the Gastonia Manufacturing company as a possible location, but this has had very little consideration, as the stockholders are by no means anxious to sell their plant, on terms that would be acceptable to the railroad. CLEVELAND. King's Mountain Harald, September 6: While working on a building for Lee S. Blalock on King's creek on last Monday. J. L. Herndon was slightly hurt and badly shaken up by a fall from a scaffold, while his son Pink was painfully cut and bruised on one side of his face in the same wreck. The planks on the scaffold which were doubled were being removed to an upper and higher scaffold and Mr. Herndon attempted to cross the scaffold on a single lover whlrh snanncri and he drODDed to the ground quick as a hangs-man trap. His son, who was on the upper scoffold hallooed down to know If his father was hurt, but no answer came; then In his rush to descend, he ran or fell against a scantling and badly cut his face. Mr. Herndon had been knocked unconscious, but soon rallied enough to find that his son was worse hurt than he was. Both managed after some time to get to the house and receive proper attention at the hands of those there. This, Tuesday morning, J. L. is all right except soreness from his shake up, but Pink is laid off for a few days to allow his cuts and bruises to heal. The county commissioners of Gaston county in regular session on last Monday at Dallas granted a new public road from the Clover road near the foot of Crowders mountain to the South Carolina line, a distance of three or three and a half miles. This road will serve a good section of country down between the Yorkville and Clover roads who have had no good outlet up this way. The road will be taken up at the South Carolina line and continued on, but whether to Clover or some other point we are not able to state. How u i- i_ Jini/v?./v?. ever, n is in tue uiictiiuu ui v^juvci and that would appear to be Its natural terminal. King's Mountain will be benefited by this new road and we are indebted to those who have been Instrumental in obtaining it A rumor has gotten into the press which appears to be worthy of- some credit, to the effect that a syndicate is now negotiating for the purchase of the Cleveland Springs, the famous resort near Shelby, and in a few days will purchase the property with a view to greatly Improving it. This syndicate consists of South Carolina capitalists, who, if they buy, are abundantly able to make such mod ern improvement** as are needed to bring the place into ? ore prominence than it is at present. The medicinal properties as well as the abundance of water has long been established and money and push are the only requisites now needed to make it far more famous. Col. Leroy Springs and several other prominent men of wealth of Rock Hill and Lancaster are said to be behind the project; and they have been drawn to this by recent visits and sojourns at the place. Should the- deal materialize a commodious and up-to-date hotel will be erected to accommodate the large throngs that will patronize the place. The people of this entire section would hal' with delight, the anticipated change, so that both the north and south could enjoy the recreation which this place could be made to give. By all means we say let the property go Into able hands, that our country may be improved and her great natural resources go out to an anxious public. A Strange Story. Dr. Loye tells the following strange story, taken from the archives of an Austrian police officer, and relating to an execution said to have* taken' place in Vienna in 1680: A well-known bandit named Schavenburg was caught, to gether with four of his associates, and they were condemned to death. They were already on their knees, ready to submit to their fate, when Schavenburg addressed the judge, asking that his four companions might be ranged in single file in front of him at a distance of eight feet from each other. "II, ne sain, aner i am ucncaucu, I get up and walk to the first of my comrades, will you pardon him?' The Judge thought he was pretty safe in complying with the request. "But if I walk up to the second, the third, and the fourth, will you pardon those also?" The judge replied that he would obtain their pardon from the emperor. The bandit was satisfied, bent his head, received the mortal blow, and his head rolled down: but to the great surprise of the judge and the spectators, the body got up. walked alone, passed the first, second, third and fourth of the condemned men. and fell down. The occurrence was told to the emperor, who. according to promise, pardoned the four criminals?Philadelphia Press. A GOOD HUMORED DICTATOR. Ramon Caceres, Praaidant of 8.into Domingo. He Is a big man, fully six feet In height and weighing considerably more than 250 pounds. His word is law, but he rules with a laugh, whether he orders a man shot before breakfast or calls for his accustomed cup of coffee after a hearty meal. It is always a laugh; sometimes a hearty laugh, usually a careless laugh. When besieged in the citadel above Santiago olty he looked around at his twenty generals and laughed. "Gentlemen," said he, "if you do not wish to remain here you will have to follow me," and vaulting into his saddle he ordered the gate swung ???? wim q wIlH vail fiaatiA/i upcil auu TV IWU n. ni.vt down Into the city and drove the enemy pell mell out of it and then he looked around at his genei*aU who had followed, yelling too, and he laughed. When Jiminez got the fort and he in turn had to flee for his life he spurred his horse into the Yaqul river, and swimming the stiff current climbed the opposite bank, and looking back upon the city laughed again. Probably this man never took anything seriously, not even when he shot down his wicked predecessor, Ulysses Heureaux. Such is the Impression you get of the dictator-president of the Dominican republic. The writer first met him in the midst of a revolution; a division of his army had just been defeated and put to rout; his minister of war had been killed, and It was expected tha^ the enemy would follow up their victory with a general assault on the city. Yet this man laughed. He read the letter which the writer presented to him with a laugh and he bade him make himself at home with another laugh. He then, went to the funeral of the minister of war, whom they buried under the floor of the church by the side of the former president whom this man had shot down In his tracks, and scarcely was the funeral over than he was laughing again. His full name with his title is Gen. Ramon Caceres, but no one calls him general, president, or even hie last name, Senor Caceres. He is known throughout the land which he rules as "Mon," the name by which his mother and sisters and playmates knew him when a child. No other name or title has ever taken its place and it may be doubted if it would occur to the most abject prisoner pleading for his life to call him anything else. But here a misleading term has crept in, for there are no abject prisoners, or people either, in Santo Domingo. It is doubtful if the most degraded Dominican ever becomes servile. If he begs it is with as proud and independent an air as though he were asking what was his by right. When Morales ordered the two prisoners, Gen. Mansuetta and Commander Gillheaux shot the next morning at sunrise, Gillheaux called out to him as he was passing his prison door: "Say, Morales, you ought to let us off in honor of your inauguration tomorrow," and there was not the 4 4 ?r\fl annnr'n sngmesi ircuiui m uiq yt.wuw. voice. Morales replied with equal serenity: "Can't. I've already signed your death warrants." And these two men marched wlta a firm step up to the cemetery gate, faced about and saluted the firing squad, and the next moment their souls were sailing into eternity. Caceres put Morales into the president's chair because he did not want the Job himself. Morales wan ambitious. He wanted to rule, but he found Caceres ever at his elbow.. He would have killed him If he cared, but he did not dare. Then the story went out that Morales intended to poison Caceres. When the story got to "Mon" he only laughed, but he watched Morales all the closer. "I can't do it as I want to," mused Wnroioa "T nm virtually a nrisoner in my own capital, and then he negotiated with the revolutionists on the outside, and counting on the aid of the United States gunboats through Minister Dawson, he precipitated a revolution against his own government. But he had not reckoned upon the quick eye and the cool nerve of the man who always laughed. Caccres sprang Into the vacated seat, told Minister Dawson to mind his own business, and taking up the reins of government hi.nself, quickly put down the revolution and allowed Morales to get out of the country without killing him. He then addressed his people, saying he had lit lie apuiuue lur me jwu mm uc mailed some one else to take It, but with cheers they Insisted upon his keeping it, so that he nows holds the job and will continue to hold It until some other fellow rises who can shoot well enough to put him out of It. President Caceres Is a descendant of an old family of landed proprietors inhabiting the central part of the Island of Santo Domingo. On the walls and shelves of his house he has guns of all makes, and sabres, too, but no books, and he never reads. In appearance he Is a pure Caucasian, without a drop of' negro blood In his veins, but he never boasts of It. He very seldom talks about himself anyway, unless It be to relate some hairbreadth escape or Inglorious defeat in the past revolution, which would be blood curdling enough if he did not make a funny picture of it and laugh himself. His father was a minister of something under the rule of Luperon about the time Ulysses Heureaux, an ex-horsethief, boy soldier, and then general, was rising to power. Caceres the minister, was shot In cold blood at the capital, Santo Domingo city, while seated in his doorway In the cool of the evening, caressing an infant which had just been placed in his arms on its return from the baptismal font. i Ramon was then a boy with his mother and sisters at their country home near Moca, and with the death of his father their income was cut off. He went to work to support his mother. He got together a train of ' mules and started in the freight car- 1 rylng business. ' His only education was obtained 1 while driving the mules. He learned 1 that he could get along with an ob- 1 stinate mule by laughing a great 1 deal better than by swearing, and that when a mule floundered into the bog up to Its belly there was no use I of losing his temper, but he must get ( a rail and pry it out. He also learned to ride like a cen- 1 taur, and to shoot like William Tell. He had grown to be a great goodnatured fellow, more like an overgrown boy than a man, when the tyrant Heureauz showed a growing thirst for human blood, and it seemed necessary to rid the country of him at all hazards. A party gathered on the farm near Moca to decide how It could be done. They knew it would take a brave man with steady nerve and true aim to do the deed. The story was told that a common soldier had once been hired to fire the fatal shot. He had his musket loaded and was doing sentry duty as Heureauz came along. As the tyrant passed he was to lower the mUSKei UUU lire. uul acutcauA dar, at a glance a tell tale expression in the soldier's face and he pulled his gun and shot htm dead. It Is said that the names of Ramon Caceres and Horacio Vasquez, his cousin, were on Heureaux's death list. Lots were drawn to decide who should do the deed, and a delicate young man, a mere boy held up the fatal prize. The big Ramon who shot little birds off the ends of orange branches for diversion looked over at him and laughed, and reaching out his great arm clutched the paper, saying: "You cannot do It; I shall not allow you to attempt It. I shall do it myself." That settled It Heureaux arrived at Moca about this time, having left his escort behind. He wanted money, and he was borrowing where he could. He had several thousand dollars in gold in his saddle bags which he had picked up along the road, and now he went into a little shop to s^e what he could do there. The shopkeeper gave him two twenty-dollar gold pieces, and these, as he turned to leave the shop, he dropped into the upper pocket of his waistcoat, at the same time Ashing for some of his worthless paper money to give a blind beggar outside the door. As he handed the paper money to the beggar he looked up to see Caceres coming toward him carrying a closed umbrella. In a flash the umbrella had chang ed to a revolver belching fire at nun. Undaunted, the tyrant who had faced the Are & thousand times before and boasted of having studied murder as a ftne art, reached for his own gun, but fate now was against him. The revolver stuck to the holster. He saw the gleaming eye of Mon Caceres before him and Caceres was planting bullets In his breast as he would the center of a target. Heureaux never uttered a cry, not one word of complaint, but when he got his revolver out his hand shook so that he shot the beggar, who fell, clutching In his death grasp, the paper money he had just received. Heureaux knew that his mission was over. As Caceres, having done his work, walked away, Heureaux quietly laid himself down on the sidewalk and arranged himself with one arm under his head for a pillow as though going to sleep?and thus he died. Ramon Caceres does not want to be president; he never did. He would much prefer to be with his wife and babies, mother and sisters on the old farm at Moca, harvesting his chocolate beans and attending to his stock. He killed Heureaux, not because he aspired to any public office, but as a matter of necessity. After he had killed him and the whole country was thrown into consternation he played billiards In a public cafe at Moca as coolly as though nothing had happened; but his loaded sbq shooter was secure on his hip and he has kept it there ever since. The revolution which followed was inevitable. The party which instigated the killing of Heureaux proclaimed itself the government with Horaclo Vasquez at its head and the big, good natured "Mon" a member of the cabinet, and with a following of ragamuffins rode to the capital and turned out Heureaux's followers. Hereaux's ousted followers, haying lost their Jobs and sources of Income, have ever since thirsted for Caceres's blood and the good natured "Mon," knowing that, does not dare to relinquish his political power. Should he retire the generals who form a bodyguard around him, renounce his power and retire to his Moca farm his life would not be worth the powder In a cartridge. When he placed Morales in the presidential chair he went back to his farm, taking his staff of generals with him, but he was not long In discovering the aspirations of Morales, who began forming alliances with Heureaux's friends for the purpose of building up a party of his own. If Morales succeeded In this "Mon" knew that he was doomed and so he hastened back to the capital, where with his unceasing laugh he haunted the man whom he had seated In the presidential chair until Morales in A T the highest efficiency in the cut and cane with the least amount o ery Osborne machine is built on gone through the theoretical sta| severest tests that hay cutting m considering the question of buylr it, and it will give us pleasure to of superiority of the OSBORNI points and we think we can shot even though you may be skeptic the OSBORNE MOWER is the i tlon and economy in the running OSBORNE Hi If you buy a Mower you will borne Horse Rake is Just like th kind.
