The New Yorkj&m, of the 15th inst,
says: /'Inspector McLaughlin and De?
tective Sergeants Crowley andMoGlusky
made a rich green goods haul yesterday
morning. They arrested a man and a
woman, who gave their names as Charles
Walters, 40 years old, and Nellie Wal?
ters, 38 years old, both of 334 Eass 41st
street. The prisoners say they are hus?
band and wife. The woman is all and
good looking. They were arraigned yes?
terday afternoon before Justice Grady,
and were remanded back to police head?
quarters, where the story ico dent; to their
arrest was told. They are accused of]
swindling F. H. Fletcher, of Piodmont,
S. C, out of |500 by the green gooes game.
It 1b probable that many moie com
Slaints will come in within the next few
ays. The prisoners work a compara?
tively new variety of the game. On June
20 Mr. Fletcher, who is a prosperous far?
mer, got a type-written letter explaining
how to get bad money for good. The
letter told Fletcher to go to tie Hotel
Cambridge, at Chester, Pa., whero a man
would meet him and give him a piece of
blue ribbon. He was to follow tt at man.
The letter warned him against an alleged
green goods gang in Hoboken, i nd told
Him to answer no letters that were not
written in blue ink and to which bo blue
ribbon was not attached. It . was signed
"O. E. Perkins, 692 3d avenue." Fletcher
went to Cheater, and on June 24 met
Walter&Zthere. He came to New York
with him, stopped at the Ashland House,
and later went to his house. A valise
' was Bhown him that was seemingly filled
with bills, and a bundle of $1 b 11s was
handed to him to examine. Then he
paid Walters $500 for the valise. Ac?
cording to Fletcher's story Mrs*. Walters
at this point entered the room wi th a va?
lise, the counterpart of the one Fletcher
had bought. She said she waii going
. away in a few minutes, and put tbe valise
down on the table beside the other. She
left the room for a minute, but returned
as if in a great hurry, grabbed one of the
valises and left, saying that eh > must
catch a train. Fletcher went out noon af?
ter with the other valise. He found when
he opened it that it was full of brinks. He
reported the matter to Inspector Mc?
Laughlin, and yesterday mornin 5 Crow
ley and McClusky arrested the couple.
The police found letters in the poi session
of tbe prisoners implicating them in oth?

Yet I'll say that few who were there,
Will forget tbe fifteenth day of July.

He began as follows:
Amazing grace, the Dispensary bas come,
They're bottling up tbe gin and rum ;
But good corn juice is still the go,
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
He suddenly grasped the situation, bnt
made matters worse when he lined out an?
other stanza:
Amazing grace how Bweet the sound.
The Democratic plums are dropping down;
The peaches they're ripening, too,
Please fill my jug with mountain dew.

Editobs Intelligences : By resolu?
tion of the Saloda Baptist Sunday School
Institute, I will give you a short account
of the proceedings of that body. <
The Institute held its regular annual
session with Lebanon Church July 11th
and 12th inst. Twenty-three Churches
were represented, besides a large number
of visitors. The introductory sermon
was preached by Bev. A. C. Stepp from
II Theas., II: 13. It was a clear and for?
cible presentation of the subject.
The President, Bro. D. W. Hyott, pre?
sided, and T. T. Wakefield, Secretary,
kept a record of the proceedings.
A number of the brethren who had
been appointed to speak on the subjects
for discussion were present, and were
well prepared to perform their duty. The
subjects were all on the line of Sunday
School work, and their discussion will
serve, we trust, as a great stimulus to the
work.
Bro. Vass. the beloved Superintendent
of tbe Baptist Orphanage, was present,
and gave many interesting facts concern?
ing that institution. Great interest was
awakened in tbe cause, and about one
hundred dollars was subscribed to tbe
building fund. Many Sunday Schools
are planning to raise a fond for tbe sup?
port of an orphan, as the Anderson school
and some others are already doing.
Bey. Mr. Farmer, of Little River
Church, preached to a very attentive au?
dience at night, Bro. Farmer was very
unwell, but preached a masterly sermon,
nevertheless. Text, Romans x, 13,14,15.
Among the brethren who participated
In the exercises were Revs. M. McGee,
O. L. Martin, M. Gassaway, T. H. Bar?
rett, M. B. Wright, Brethren L. E. Camp?
bell, J. N. Vandiver, C. Wardlaw. C. O.
Burriss, J. J. Copeland, Dr. Robinson,
A. R. Cox, and others whose names I
cannot recall.
The next meeting of the Institute will
be held with Townville Baptist Church,
on the second Wednesday and Thursday
in July 1894.

Col. L. J. Alfred Writes:
I am in my seventy-third year, and for
fifty years I have been a great sufferer
from indigestion, constipation and bill
ionsness. I have tried all tbe remedies
advertised for these diseases and got no
permanent relief. About one year ago,
tbe disease assuming a more severe and
dangerous form, I became very weak and
lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using
Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained
twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and my
digestion were perfectly restored and now
I feel as young and vigotous as I ever did
in my life. L. J. Alfred,

Mrs, N. A. McEn tire writes from Spring

a great sufferer from indigestion, Bick
headache and nervous prostration. I tried
many remedies, but got no permanent re?
lief until I used Dr. Mozley's Lemon
Elixir. I am now in better bealth than
for many years. My daughter has been
subject to chills and fever from her in?
fancy. I could get nothing to relieve her ;
tbe Lemon Elixir has restored her to per?
fect bealth.
