Sam Jones goes back a to Palestine, Texas, he. ought to explain to his congregation what the Bible means when it says that, if a man Btrikes you on - one cheek, you must permit him to strike Cjon on the other, also. Brother Jones ;evidehtly does not believe in literal in ^terpretration. When Mayor Ward,. of -"?Palestine, struck him with a stick, he laid bold of the stick and wore it out on that belligerent official. Brother Jones ^belongs to.the church nx?itant.--.iVeu? and Courier. While in Anderson a few years ago ' Rev. Sam- explained the portion of ' Scripture referred to by the Neros and Kurier as follows: He said the Bible re? quired that when a man struck you on one '? cheek to turn the other and let him strike ?yonthere also. Having done this you have di?chargedy?ur duty, and you are at'liberty then to turn on yqur antagonist and "wear the hound out of him." So much has been been said in a num -bor of the County papers and elsewhere about the alleged politics of the Colum? bia Centennial movement with respect to Senator Hampton that Col. John 0. -Haskeil was asked the other day by the Columbia correspondent of the Nexcs and <mer what he had to say on the sub MjecL% Col/ Haskell said that the corres? pondent could state on authority that Senator Hampton will not be a candidate for Governor under any circumstances. He Baid Senator Hampton intends to ?eturn to Columbia and live there, doing full duty as he has always done as a citizen of the State. Col. Haskell Baid further that Senator Hampton would rtake part in the canvasses in the State, ut he emphasized tbe statement that he would not be a candidate for Governor, iM] so far as Gen. Hampton was con? cerned, there was no politics in the Cen : tennial celebration. Sjjjp.v;. . -;- ?in - Olaflin University at Orangeburg, says : the News and Courier, is doing a great work for the colored youth of the State. . It is tbe foremost institu tion in the South for the education of the colored people ;: and is steadily improving its facilities V-; and increasing its opportunities for use fulness. President Dunton is an untir ; ing worker and has demonstrated his " fitness for the place which hefillB. He ;^.;-vas issued an "announcement" which V ;Vwill be. of Bpecial interest to the colored '_' teachera throughout the State, Thanks to a,special appropriation made by the .Peapody trustees for the purpose, Cloflin J University offers the advantages of a three-months' term of study to the color Vv ed teachera of the State, free of charge, ry Instruction in the theory ^md practice of .... teaching, such as is customary in teach - .^era' institutes, will be given, and admis ^aion into any of the regular College class r . es will be granted for review or advance work, and a series of lectures will be given on educational topics by several of - the mo3t accomplished educators in the j..; .^State. A special examination will be ;-v conducted under the auspices of the State ' ^Superintendent of Education on April ?< - ' 27, and certificates will be awarded to all 3 successful candidates. Cloflin is pro greasing, v'; S^^ ; The TJnited Convention of farmers and ?\! ^laborers, about which so much has been Baid, has closed its aeaaionjin Washington. ..The organizations represented in the ^p(^nVention were the National Farmers' |i;^A_liance and Farmers' Union, the Citi ^-.zen's Alliance, the Colored Farmers' Al lianco-r-nd the Knights of Labor. While considerable work was done, most of it was preliminary to a large National Con ^v^Tention, to be held February 22, 1892, at jg some place not yet designated. The inference, however, did formulate and -publish the demands made by.tbe organ? ic?.' izations of what it waB composed. The fp^first demand is for the abolition of nation? al banks as banks of issue and the issuing ^ treasury notes, which shall be legal ^'tender for all debts, public and private, Oki and also that this issue of notes shall be . - ?'loaned to tbe people on non perishable -. security at a rate of interest'not exceed Jng 2" per cent. jper annum; tbe second i >demand is for the free and unlimited coinage of silver; the third for the prohi? bition of alien ownership of land; the fourth is a fling at the tariff; the fifth is for an honest, economical administration ; .the.sixth is for a graded tax on incomes ; the seventh is for the government owner ship of railroads; the eighth is for the ^- election of the President and Vice Presi? dent and United State* Senators by a di '?V; rect vote of the people, and the ninth >'.' ?.demands the registration of voters and a ;.. secret ballot. Ip-'y Senator Carlisle contributes a very in ;> teresting article to tbe Farmer qf Febru ary, in which he says, while our popula ,;' tion in 1890 was only sixteen times as :>;. great as in 1790, tho expenditures of the national government, excluding all pay ' merits upon the interest and principal of the pubiic debt, were more than one hun? dred and thirty times as great. In other ^ v. words,', the population increased from 8,929,214 in 1790 to" 62,480,540 in 1S90, while the ordinary aunual expenditures rose from $1,919,592 to the sum of $261, ? "637,203. If we take the year 1810, twen y; -, ty years after the adoption of the Consti tution, we find that the population was 7,239,881, and that the expenditures were $5,311,082 or 73 cents per capita. In 18' .90, eighty years afterwards, the popula : [ tion was less than nine timeB as great ..as it was then, but the ordinary expendi ;?.. -tures were more than forty-eight times aB ;ir: great, and amounted to $4 19 per capita. vp;'From. 1830 to 1840, including the period ^7?f tbejSeminole war, the population in icreasedl$2.67 pe>cent and the expendi tures increased 80 per cent,; from 1840 to 1850, during which the war with Mexico \ w as begun and prosecuted to a successful ??v . termination, the population increased -^ 35.87 per cent, and tbe expenditures in "^h creased 53 per cent. ; but from 1880 to 'S: 1890 a period of profound peace, the pop ulation increased 24.57 and the expendi ::^_tures increased 55 per cent. The ordinary ?y expenditures for the current fiscal year, ?&:im, wiii bo at Last 12 per cent, greater :{%-than in 1890, although the populatioj, as l&sahown by the recent census, is increasing 'at a rate of less en 2} per cent. Shc-i through tSh Heart, Geeenyille, Fobruary 7.?Major W. A. Williams, well-known as "Dixio" Williams, one of the most prominent citizens of this city, was shot through the heart and billed by James B. Williams at a lew minutes after 2 o'clock this morning. Major Williams and his slayer were playing a game of cards in a private room opposite the Mansion House. They disputed over the game and Major Wil? liams drew his knife. J. B. Williams S3id am unarmed." Major Williams then threw his knife on the table and said: "Then I'll fight.you on the muscle." Major Williams began pulling off his coat and just as he had laid it on the ta? ble and turned to face his opponent J. B. Williams suddenly drew a revolver and Bhot him. Major Williams fell forward on hiB face and was found a few minutes later dead. The murderer escaped and has not been captured. He is the same man who was in a serious cutting affray at Snartanburg some time ago, in which a man named Pateet was cut all to pieces. Major Williams was the son-in-law of Judge Hudson, and was a well-known member of the Greenville Bar. He had represented this County in the Legisla? ture, and was prominent in military cir? cles. He was a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight of Pythias. The tragedy was an awful shock to tho community, and thousands of the dead man's friends all over the State will receive the news with sadness. The coroner's inquest was held to-day, and the verdict of the jury was that the murder was felonious. F. M. Simmons was arrested to-night as an accessory after the fact. He is charged with aiding the murderer to es? cape, but denies the charge. He will probably furnish bond.?Special to News and Courier. Home Folis in Washington* Washington, February 5.?J. William Stokes, president of the South Carolina State Alliance and Congressman-elect Stsckhouso are here to represent South Carolina at the Conference of the Nation? al Farmers' Alliance. They are to be joined by Senator-elect Irby and Capt. Shell. Mr. Stokes waB with the Alliance delegation before the committee on coin? age and weights and measures to-day to urge che passage of the silver bill. In conversation with your correspon? dent Mr. Stokes said that the Alliance expects Congress to pass the silver bill and the sub-treasury bill before adjourn? ment, but he has no assurances that his expectations will be realized. He says that the Alliance is not here to try and intimidate Congress, bnt simply to voice the sentiments of nearly 2,000,000 free men and voters, who honestly be-! lieve their constitutional rights have been disregarded in the interest of capitalists and monopolists. The Alliance, says Mr. Stokes, will be nnder the influence of no Solitical party, but will maintain an iu ependent attitude on partisan questions and work unceasingly to advance the principles upon which the Alliance is founded. He believes the Alliance will make deep inroads into both political parties, especially in the South and West. He predicts for it a great and glorious fu? ture. Senator-elect Irby, accompanied by hiB daughter and Capt. Shell, arrived in the city to-night. The Senator and Miss Irby will go to Annapolis to-morrow to visit relatives, and the latter will remain there while the Senator will return to Wash? ington in the afternoon. He proposes to attend the conference, now in progress here, of Farmers' Alliance leaders, and may remain in Washington two or three weeks.?Correspondence of the News and Courier. State Loans on Real Estate. Raleigh, N, C, February 2.-~De spairing of any relief from Congress in the shape of the sub-treasury bill, the Alliance people of this State are turning their attention to the Legislature. Memo? rials from various Counties giving ex? pression of the people in public meetings have been laid before the Legislature. These memorials assert that there is great stringency in the money market in North Carolina, rendering it almost im? possible to borrow money on the very best real estate security, which results in retarding the developments of the agri? cultural and industrial interests, and pe? titioning the Legislature to pass some measure of relief along the line suggested by Col. W. H. Burgyn of Vaule and Mr. E. P. Loftin of Lenoir. This plan is for the State to issue $10, 000,000 of 4 per cent, bonds and sell them at par and loan the proceeds to the peo? ple who own real estate at 7 per cent., the other 2 per cent, going to the bond? holders to be made up by taxation, which would add only $200,000 to the taxes raised at present, the bonds to run thirty years and then to continue at the option of the borrower so long as the interest is paid and the land pledged as security maintains for taxation one half the value of the money loaned thereupon. This would give each of the ninety-seven Counties an average of ?100,000 in mon? ey, the preference to be given iu loans to those whose real estate is under mortgage at the time this plan of relief goes into effect. The Legislature is dominated by a very large majority of Alliance members, who are all in favor of this plan of financial relief. There is no opposition to the suggestion, and it will take shape during the present session. The Duties of Sheriff}. ABsistant Attorney General Townsend has rendered to the Comptroller General an opinion in writing in regard to the duties of Sheriffs under the tax laws, and the remedies against such as fail to per? form their duties in this connection. After reviewing the provisions of recent laws hearing upon the subject, the Assis? tant Attorney General says that in his opinion in order "to seize and take ex? clusive possession of the property of the defaulting taxpayer, the Sheriff muBt ac tually^go on the land and seize and take into his possession the personal property; and in caee the personal property is in? sufficient, in his judgment, or if he finds no personal property, then ho must take possession of the land, and to do this must eject the occupant. AH this must be done before advertising the property for sale, "After thus taking possession of the property he must hold it in order that he may deliver the same to tho purchaser after the sale. "Nothing is more important to the State than prompt action on the part of the Sheriffs in these matters, ns the valid? ity of thousands of tax titles hereafter to be made will depend upon it."?Colum? bia Register. Tho Silver Bill. Washington, February 7.?The cau? cus of the Democratic members of the HouBe called for to-night at tho suggestion of Representative Bland of Missouri was very slimly attended, only sixty one members being present. Representative Holme3 of Indiana presided and Blanch arcl of Louisiana and Wilson of West Virginia acted as Secretaries. The silver bill was the sole topic of consideration, and after Bevoral resolutions had been of? fered and withdrawn the following reso? lution, offered by Richardson, of Tennes? see, was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this caucus that the Senate silver bill, which was referred by the House to the Commit 'tee on Coinage, Weights and Measures nearly one month ago, being, in our opinion, an important public measure de? serving due consideration by the House, we earnestly request the committee to which the same was referred to report it to the House without delay. The caucus then adjourned. ?Some weeks ago the Greenville Newa made mention of a Pickens man who had been holding a bale of cotton since 18G8 or 1S69 for 25 cent3 a pound, and added that if the said citizen did not get that price, tho said bale of cotton would be aold by his executor or jidminia'rator. Tho citizen is Uncle Jeremiah Trainum; Those who know him feel sure that ho wil carry out his determination. The bale of cotton has been once recovered with a now suit.' Revives la His Co?ln; Kansas City, Mo., February G.?Jo? seph Sonibaugh, living at St. Joseph, Mo., was supposed to have died yesterday of Brigbt'e disease. Last night the sup? posed corpse was laid out and the funeral arrangements made. Just as the family were closing the coffin at noon to-day to have the funeral services performed signs of life were noticed. Physicians were sent for and an hour's work brought, the man around. He is better to-night than he has been for a long time. Sam Jones and the Texas Ufajor. St. Louis, February G.?Mayor J. J. Ward of Palestine, Texas, to day comes out in a card in which he says the trouble between Rev. Sam Jones and himself was cu account of s personal matter and not because the evangel i?t criticised his offi? cial action. The Mayor says: "While Jones was hero he took it upon himself to refer in the most insulting language to my private life and habits before my wife and children, hence my attack upon him. As for my official conduct that is open to the scrutiny of right-minded men." The Fourteenth Boy. Chattanooga, Tenn., February 6.-? A son was bom to Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Steg'all the first of this week, which makes the fourteenth boy in the family with no girls for Bisters. Because the baby was published as the eleventh child Mr. Stegall asked for a correction. He saya that he believes in giving every one all the honors and credit to which he i3 entitled, and he thinks that a gross injustice has been done him by publish? ing that he only had eleven children. Mr. Stegall is connected with the Queen and Crescent railroad, but is a former Georgian. He iB a young man without a gray hair in hiB head. Tho Poisou Failed. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 8.?H. M. Rogers, an insurance solicitor in this city, took poison yesterday, but did not die. In a letter addressed to the United States Mu? tual Life Insurance Company, of New York, written when he thought that he was dying, he confessed to being wanted for having murdered a young girl near Mercer, Pa,, last June, but mentioned no name. He also confessed to a number of petty crimes. Rogers was discovered be? fore life was extinct, and saved. He was arrested and the officer communicated with the authorities. The girl whom he killed was his betrothed. A Cyclone in Alabama. Birmingham, Ala., February 9.?A cyclone struck Helena this afternoon about 4 o'clock. A dull roaring Bound was heard and the people just had time to get to their doors when they saw a black whirling cloud flying over the hotel in the Northern part of the city. In the next moment the telegraph poles were being twisted off-like pipe stems. Com? ing down the railroad track it laid the station building fiat on the platform and then crossed the track diagonally and levelled the store of Thomas Davidson. C. T. and James Davidson were in the store, and both were hurt about the head and P. D. Lee was bruised about the body. The cyclone then lifted and passed over a three story building, and struck the Heleua rolling mill about 200 yards from the station, taking the roofs off of both the bank, the mill and the stock house. The cloud passed on in a Southeasterly direction, and reports reached here that it struck Talladega in its course. Preparing to Battle in 1S02, Topeka, Kansas, February 7.?W. F. Rightmyer, who is Secretary of the National'Citizens' Industrial Alliance, has issued a call for a national conference of reformers to meet in Cincinnati May 19,1891, to adopt a platform and make such arrangements for the conflict of 1892 as the conference may deem fitting. The representation will be the national and State officers of each Alliance, assembly, and association and ten delegates from each County or district organization of such bodies and editors and the business managers of each reform paper belonging to the reform press association. This call iB in .direct opposition to the wishes of J. D. Holden, of Emporia, President of the National Citizens' Alli? ance, formed at Ocala, Fla. The call for a convention to organize a third party combines all of the alleged reform move? ments now before the people. There iB a disposition to ignore President Holden altogether. The Kansas contingent of the Citizen's Alliance do not recognize Holden as the President of the organiza? tion, although the Ocala convention elect? ed him to that position. Tho Blizzard in the West. Rapid City, S. D., Feb. 9.?The blizzard wore itself away during last night, and with fine weather and the arrival of the ranchers and stages from outlying points reports of its severity and rumored casualties are coming in. A man and woman, supposed to be a school teacher and driver, who started for Elk Creek at 3 p. m. Saturday, were found four miles out frozen to death. All the roads are blocked and details cannot be secured. A few people ventured abroad Saturday and Sunday, and the two bodies found are probably the only deaths. No loss of stock is yet reported. Vermillion, S. D., Feb. 9.?The most terrific blizzard that Vermillion has experienced in three years raged here yesterday and last night from the North? west. Nearly a foot of snow fell. Omaha, Feb. 9.?Specials to the Bee show a number of lives were lost in Nebraska during the blizzard. The wife of Milton Cummings, a farmer near Rushville, who started from town for her home Saturday was found dead in her buggy to-day within forty rods of a neighbor's house. Eddie Chedster and Steven St. Peters, two boys from Keeney who had been out hunting, were found frozen to death in a cornfield. M. L. Lissent, residing three miles North of Chadron, Is supposed to be buried under the snow and searching parties are look? ing for his body. Woonbocket, S. D., Feb. 9.?The hardest storm since the great blizzard of January 12, 1888, prevailed here from Saturday night until Monday. Travel? ing was almost impossible. No casualties are yet reported. The stock that was out has doubtless perished. Cheyenne, Wyoming, Feb. 9.?Tue worst blizzard that has been experienced in Wyoming for four years has been raging for the last twenty-four hours. Stockmen are apprehensive of p.evere losses to range cattle. No Westbound traiuB reached Cheyenne yesterday over the Union Pacific or Burlington. A relief train with provisions has been sent out to the fast mail and the ovorland flyer stuck forty miles East of here. San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 9.?The coldest weather of the past two years reached hero last night. At 7 o'clock the thermometer registered 78 degrees, and at midnight it had gone down to 38, and for eight hours the mercury stood at 26, the lowest since 1889. The blizzard is worse West of this point. In Del Rio and the Devil's River country the mer? cury is down to zero, and the high winds have scattered the flocks and herds in that eection of the State. ? The graveyard grass of centuries has been fertilized with the dust of great men, who at one time or another were considered indispensable. There is al? together too much hero-worship in the world, even in this utilitarian age. It iB proper to give every man credit for his worth, and for his achievements, but no man should he accounted greater than the cause he represents, and whenever he assumes to be greater it is time he was compelled to step aside.?Scranton [Pa.) Truth ? A surgeon of Decatur, 111., has just completed a novel surgical operation. He removed parts of four ribs of a cat and inserted them in the noar of a young lady and formed .\ perfect br-dgo lor her noso. This is said to be the first operation of the kiud known in the an? nals of surgery. Standing by Ute Party. WASHINGTON, February 9.?Congress? man elect Shell and Stackhouso, of the 4th and Gth districts respectively, are here looking tho Congressional field over, and making personal observations for fu? ture use. Capt. Shell, under the guidance of Col. Perry, made his first appearance upon tho floor of the House to-day, and was the recipient of much attention from the Democratic members. He does not hositata to .lay that he will enter Congress with a firm determination to uphold the principles of the Farmers' Alliance, but his first duty will bo to tho Democratic party. He does not under? stand that he and his Alliance associates in South Carolina are expected to antag? onize the policy of the Democratic party on any of the national issues. He has been approached on the subject of the Speakership, but does not Bay to whom he is committed. He is favorably disposed toward Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, but will withhold his final decision until a consul? tation of the South Carolina delegation is held on the subject. Referring to home politics Capt. Shell says the contest over the force bill has done much toward reuniting the factions which were supposed to he drifting apart during the recent fight over the State ticket. The spirit and intent of his fa? mous letter calling the Farmers' Conven? tion, he eays, was misunderstood in the heat of the campaign. The complaint of the farmers against the Richardson Ad? ministration was similar to that made in other States where carelessness or other errors of administration are alleged. A better feeling prevails throughout the State, and the Farmers' Alliance of South Carolina will be found voting for free silver and the Democratic candidate for President, whoever he may be.?Special to New3 and Courier. A Deadly Duel. Memphis, Trnn., Feb. 3.?A double tragedy wa3 brought to light near Hous? ton, Mies., yesterday by the discovery of the dead bodies of two men lying within a few paces of each other, each with a Winchester rifle by his side; one with a bullet hole in his forehead from which oozed a clotted mass of blood and brains; the other with a dark blotch upon his shirt front v. here the curreut of his life les3 blood had settled and congealed. The bodies are those of two men named Phillpot and Wash Leader, the latter one of the oldest settlers of Chickasaw County. So far as known there was no witness to the encounter which resulted in death to bo oh. It is not known that there had been previous ill-feeling between the men. The position in which the' bodies lay when discovered, and the fact that there was an empty shell in the chamber of each rifle, show that each died by the hand of the other, perhaps at the same instant. The carcass of a hog nearby affords the only suggestion as to the cause of the tragedy. The animal had been killed by a bullet from a Winchester rifle. Perhaps the men quarreled over the owner? ship of it and settled the matter as the surroundings now indicate. The killing occurred upon a trail in tho woods of a remote district of the County, and the result of the Coroner's investiga? tion iB not yet known, if, indeed, any has been made; neither is it known when the encounter took place, though the bodies were stiff, cold, the faces blanched, the hair matted by rain and the clothing wet and clinging closely to the limbs, indicating that they had lain exposed to the elements for a considerable time. Fonr Thousand In bis Poeket Spartanburg, S. C, January 5.? Complications arising out of the failure of the Alliance store, mentioned hereto? fore, woro heard in court to-day. The creditors charge fraud on the part of Zimmerman, agent of the Alliance, in disposing of the stock. The question of setting aside the attachment was argued, but Judge Witherspoon reserved his decision. Zimmerman claims the stock was sold to Bates & Kingsbery, of Atlanta, and other parties in good faith. He admits that the entire assets, except notes and checks, have been sold and the proceeds applied to debts. Since the records show that very few of the bills have been paid by the concern recently, while, as one of the salesmen testified, the average cash sales amount to over $350 a day, much speculation has beeu indulged in as to what became of the money. This afternoon Mr. Zimmerman stated that he had $4,000 of the money in hia vest pocket, which he defied them to get ? One of the employees of the postal telegraph office in St. Petersburg has invented a watch which will run forty five days at a single winding. ? The widest plank on earth is on ex? hibition at the railroad depot in Hum? boldt, Cal. It was cut at the Elk River Mill, and i? sixteen leet in width. It will be among the Humboldt exhibits at the World's Fair in Chicago. ? Gov. Tillman, who ha3 been so ill for the last few daya with an attack of grip, is considerably improved, although ho is still very ill. He has received a few friends in his room, and is attending to his official correspondence. ? The scheme by which colored peo? ple were induced to buy tickets for Libe? ria turns out to be a gigantic fraud. Ful? ly two thousand colored people from Mis? sissippi and Texas have collected in At? lanta with these tickets. Many of these people are destitute and the city has to provide for them. Great indignation is felt in colored circles in and around At? lanta over the fraud. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. All persons having claims against the Estate of W. J.

C. S. MINOR. THANK To the good People of Anderson who have for the past month thronged our Store, and in many instances had to wait for a considerable time to get waited on. IT fully demonstrates that the people are now awake to their own interest, and are no longer to bo carried away by flaming advertisements, in which there is no real merit. In this advanced stage of the mercantile world tiiere is only one sure road to success?that is, always do exactly what you advertise. The individual or firm that fancies that he or they can fool the general pub? lic will be Borely left. They must not advertise to sell goods at cost, and then make an effort.to get 25 per cent profit. If they think they can do this they will find out to their grief that they will get sorely left, which fact Ib demonstrated by the crowds that flock to our Store, while other Stores would remind you of the deserted village. The way of the trausgreasor is hard, and fic? titious advertlzers must pay the penalty with empty Stores, while we are tired out from wait? ing on an intelligent public. Customers entering our Store are treated with the utmost courtesy. They are not treated in the rude manner that they are elsewhere when they enter some of the other would-be first class Stores with a package not bought therein. The pack? age is, without their consent, torn open, exam? ined, inquiries made as to the cost of the same, and when truthfully informed as to what was paid for the good9, the person who opens it will - sueeringly assert that he could have sold tho same article for half the price, when he knows in his heart that he is staling what is false, cow? ardly and malicious, and such a persou will never be pointed out as a genuine type of a South Carolina gentloman, whose loftiest obliga? tion is truth and honor. I will now leave these gentlemen of question? able mercantile intelligence and integrity, and inform the public what we intend to do for the remaining fifteen days of our Groat Sale. We will just simply slaughter everything in the Store, and make a clean sweep, if cuttiug prices will <I? it. New York cost not considered any more?all the goods must be sold at some price, at 15 to 50 per cent off cost. The fact is, tho goods must be sold at some price between now and the first of March, and any offer, in reason, for goods from now until then will be favorably considered. If the buyer does uot want a gold dollar for 35c he will be almost sure to make the trip. If you have made up your mind to look around, do so before you come to see us, and he sure and have the money with you. We have grown tired of waiting on people twice, and they will do us a great lavor if they will do all that kind of business before they call to look over our immense stock, and then we will beat all the other Stores so bad you will think tho goods must have been stolen.
