iutmoroua department. A Yankee Yarn. A Briton who was traveling on the Mississippi river told rather stllT stories about London thieves. With a silent but expressive "Humph!" a Yankee man named Case heard these narratives. and then remarked that the American thieves beat the London rogues all hollow. "How so?" inquired the Englishman, with surprise. "Pray, sir. have you lived much in the states?" "Not a great deal." "Well," said Case, "my brother once uvea out west, dui ne naa to leave, although his business was the best in the country." "What business was he in?" "The lumber business?he had a saw mill." "And they stole the lumber?" "Yes. and saw-logs, too." "Saw-logs?" "Yes, whole dozens of black walnut logs were carried away in a single night." "Is that possible?" "True, upon my honor, sir. He tried every way to prevent it, but it was all of no use. Just to give you an idea how they steal out there." continued Case, giving a sly wink at the listening company, "did you ever work in a sawmill?" "Never." "Well, one day my brother bought a fine walnut log four feet three at the butt, and without a knot in it. "He was determined to keep that log, anyhow, and hired two Scotchmen to watch it all night. "Well, they took a small barrel of whisky with them, carried the log up the hill, built a fire and then sat down on the log to play cards, just to keep wake, you see. " 'Twas a monstrous big log?bark two Inches thick. Well, as I was saying. they played cards and drank whisky all night, and when it began to grow light they went to sleep astride the log. "About a minute after daylight, brother George went over to the mill to see how they were getting on, and the log was gone." "What were the Scotchmen doing?"' "Sitting on the bark! The thieves had driven an Iron wedge Into the butt end. which pointed down the hill, and hitched a yoke of oxen on and pulled it right out of the shell, leaving the Scotchmen there astride it 'ast asleep." -Tit-Bits. The Champion Jury. The frontier Justice of the peace has had so many airings that the theme is becoming encumbered with cobwebs, but I am called upon to record the conduct of the most remarkable Jury which perhaps was ever impaneled. Before his Honer Judge Jefferson Davis of Walnut Grove Precinct No. 8, in the territory of Arizona and county of Yavapai, one John Doe, whose other name I withhold because he has permanently reformed, was solemnly arraigned for stealing a certain saddle, carefully described in the complaint. After an elaborate trial the jury retired, with the written admonitions of the court, to Old Abner Wade's cow barn to deliberate. In the course of three-quarters of an hour they brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The court promptly admonished them that such a verdict "wouldn't go," since the man had only been charged with stealing a saddle, and sent them back to deliberate again. A few minutes later a brother of the defendant came along and presented them with a quart of bourbon and a couple of sacks of smoking: tobacco, along1 with a new deck of cards, accompanied with the compliments of the defendant, and an hour later the jury returned the following verdict: "We, the jury, with a supreme reverence for the principle of justice and profound deference for this honororable court, find that the defendant, John Doe. stole the saddle in self-defense, and therefore acquit him."? Harper's Magazine. The Last Man. It being ascertained that there was in the whole country a citizen in hiding who had boasted In an Idle moment that he had never applied for a pension, a body of patriots started out in search of him. When finally apprehended, the man appeared dogged and defiant. "I am the possessor." he declared, "of a robust constitution, and none of my ancestors, so far as I know, ever took part in the war of the rebellion. 1 Why should I rob the public treasury?" "And is this." exclaimed the head of the nnrtv "vour onlv excuse? Have you no regard, sir, for the customs and traditions of your sacred land? Don't you know that for years every lawyer and every political party in the country, from motives of pure patriotism, has labored to get every man, woman and child on the pension list?" The culprit hung his head in shame as the full enormity of his offense burst upon him. "Now that I recall the fact," he observed with a cunning smile, "my third great aunt on my mother's side had a stepfather who caught the grip while shingling a house on the outskirts of the battle of Gettysburg." "We thought as much," exclaimed the crowd triumphantly, hurrying him on to Washington.?Smart Set. Somewhat Mixed.?Lillian Bralthwaite Hill, the noted writer of humorous advertisement, replied, at a banquet of haberdashers in St. Joseph, to an attack by a business rival on advertising humor. "My friend," said Miss Hill, "says the public wants seriousness, not humor. in its 'ads.' But he contradicts himself horribly as he states his case. His facts seem to me as confused and as absurd as the obituary of his wife's death that a Milwaukee man sent to a Milwaukee editor I know. "This obituary said: " Mine wife Gretchen is dead. If she had lived till next Friday she's been dead just two weeks yet. As a tree falls, so must it stand.' "?Washington Star. An Elephant Product.?A certain teacher was one day hearing a class in geography. "What is gotten from the elephant which is valuable?" he asked. "Ivory," answered a small boy. "Can you tell what is made of ivory?" she then asked. "Sot?p." answered Johnnie quickly. "You seem to cough with more difficulty today than yesterday." the physician said. "That is strange." murmured the patient. "for I was practicing all last night." I iUisccllancous Reading. WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES. News and Comment Gleaned From Within and About the County. LANCASTER. News, September 25: Good progress has been made this week on the work of erecting the standplpe for the water works system. The support will soon be ready for the reservoir, which will be about 150 feet above the ground.

CHESTER. Lantern, September 25: Mrs. Mason Ferguson, of Yorkvllle, spent Wednesday with her sister. Mrs. G. W. Ferguson Miss Martha Mobley returned Wednesday evening from a visit to Mrs. R. B. Davidson, in Yorkvllle A tenant house in Mr. Robert Frazer's quarter, near, the Seaboard depot, was burned last night between nine and ten o'clock, with almost all its contents. The house was occupied by Ed Kelly's family, colored. The grown members of the family, were away and the fire had made so much progress before it was noticed, the children were barely rescued by the first persons who reached the house. The fire alarm was given but as It was beyond the water limits, nothing could be done Mrs. I. A. Hoist returned Wednesday afternoon from Savannah, Ga., where she was called Saturday morning, the 12th. of this month, to attend the funeral of her nephew, Mr. Ernest H. Roberts, who was drowned Thursday night near his home at the isle of Hope. After eating a hearty supper. Mr. Roberts went into the river to take a swim and it is supposed he was taken with acute indigestion and heart failure and immediately sank. ul" Vx-i.-Itt ivqc ropnvprpd in almost twenty minutes and everything possible was done to restore him to life but to no avail. The funeral service was in the Episcopal church Saturday morning and the burial in Laurel Grove cemetery. He was 32 years old and leaves a wife and three small children. His mother is also living. He had been the ringer of the chimes of St. John's church for ten years. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, September 25: At his home on the old Dallas road near the covered bridge. Mr. James W. Lay died Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock from gastritis, from which disease he had been suffering for some time. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at Long Creek Baptist church, conducted by Rev. J. A. Hoyle and interment followed in the cemetery there. Mr. Lay was an industrious farmer, though handicapped by the loss on the railroad some years ago of one of his arms. He is survived by a widow and several children A very regrettable error, resulting irom misiniuriuauuii given, appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday, when it was stated that Mr. W. L. Smith had gone to Clover to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. J. D. Smith, when it should have stated that it was his grandmother, Mrs. L. H. Rigglns. Mrs. Riggins died Sunday night, aged 77, at her home near Bowling Green and was buried Monday afternoon at Clover. Death was due to the infirmities incident to old age. Mrs. Smith's friends, who ware distressed at the previous report, will learn with pleasure that it was an error Sallle Ross and Mary Gordon, two negro women of questionable character, were tried in police court yesterday morning on the charge of indulging in an affray. The trial grew out of a difficulty which occurred in a house on Davis row Wednesday night when the Gordon woman slashed the Ross woman with a razor, inflicting a painful wound on the iatter's breast. The Ross woman was fined $2.50 and the cost and the Gordon woman was bound to court in the sum of $25 Mr. A. C. Stroup, one of the 1 *. vl r? fronMomnn county s ucm imiuci.i emu U BV.?. who is a close observer of conditions, says that he does not believe the cotton crop in Gaston county this season will be more than 65 per cent of an average crop. Mr. Stroup has been all over the county for the purpose of finding out actual condition of the crop on request from the government for a report and gives the above as his estimate. A number of other good farmers and close observers, with whom the reporter has talked, are all unanimous in the belief that the crop is in the neighborhood of two-thirds of an average crop. There seems to be no doubt that as far as Gaston county is concerned it is away off in quantity. The general observation is that the stalk is apt to deceive the casual observer. It looks good but the fruit is not there in quantities that one would expect from the general appearance of the fields.

"LET THE PEOPLE RULE." APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS Fur Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund from the Democratic National Committee. Editor Yorkville Enquirer: Dear Sir: There are no secrets in this Campaign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, or he will not enter it at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses ir they want public servants who will serve their interests. special i rue res is ?nu uwi ?u having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE." This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS BEARING GIFTS." That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Government meant that the candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people in every county." You can serve the grand cause of popular government through the columns of your paper. It reaohes the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country's GOOD; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves nis country only for his country's GOODS. Please carry this letter in Bold Type at the masthead of your paper, asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE'S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every week to the treasurer of the Democrat| ic National Committee, with the name of each contributor and amounts given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate like the copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates. Once more, you should be a part of the Great Organization bearing the Lamp of Light to every nook ana corner of Free America. Our Country is for the People; its Government must be by the People. Sincerely, NORMAN E. MACK, Chairman Democratic National Committee. M. C. WETMORE, Chairman National Finance Committee. HERMAN RIDDER, Treasurer Democratic National Committee. Chicago, Sept. 3, 1908.

Short Crop It seems to be generally conceded that the cotton crop of York county this year will be from 25 to 33 per cent short of what it was last year, when the largest yield in the history of the county?about 44,000 bales?was harvested. While there is no reason to doubt that the crop is short, still it hardly seems likely that it will amount to so much as from 11,000 to 14,600 bales, and that Is what "from 25 to 33 per cent" means, and it is to be hoped that the I shortage Is being over-estimated, rather than under. Again, the decrease In yield cannot be helped and the farmer who has done his best, should not fret. Don't worry over a condition that you can help, but go ahead and apply the remedy, and don't worry over a condition you cannot help, because worrying hurts you . _ J J A ...

If you have loved ones who have passed to the great beyond and are considering the idea of a suitable marker for their graves, we will appreciate a call from you that we may have an opportunity of showing you designs of Head Stones and Monuments and quoting you prices.
