) States court by Attorney Charles

ing Harry K. Thaw of this city, who
is now confined in the Duchess county,
New York, jail.
In the petition Thaw states that
his assets are *128,012.38 and his liabilities
$453,140.43.
Roger 0 'Mara, a well-known Pittsburg
detective and personal friend of
the lhaw family, was appointed as
receiver. His bond was placed at
i $200,000 :ind John Newell and James
. Piatt, two prominent business
^ men ot this citv. became security for
Mr. 0'Mara. *
The most interesting information
bpvon regarding the proceedings is to
found in the petition asking for
j|lie appointment of a receiver, in
Kjvhicli it is alleged that I lie action is
fflaken for |ho purpose of preventing
llis property being dissipated in litill' "

pjiow thai this refers to lawyers and
I. .F',,.nx stales that he is confined in
??il in Duchess county jail and is
likely to he there for some time, lie
P-V* some of his creditors have commenced
suits against him and others
are contemplating similar actions, lie
is unable, lie says, to give the litiga|
tion his attention, owing to the con\j
finement. The papers were received
I bv E. M. Underwood, receiver in
J' bankruptcy of the United States
court for Lawrence county, Pennsylvania,
who happened to be in this city
the local receiver. W. R. Blair, being
absent for a few days. The papers
will he presented to Mr. Rlair when
he returns.
Loans amounting to $101,500 from
his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, are
not disputed.
Among the disputed claims are the
I following: John R. fileason, Ww

UNCLE REMUS STORIES.
How Joel Chandler Harris Happened
to Begin Writing Them.
Many great works of genius, ns is
well known, have been produced by
accident; and an author is seldom the
best judge of his own work, says Current
Literature. When Joel Chandler
Harris wrote the first of his Tuple
Remus" stories, and presented it
for publication, he did so with a
hundred misgivings. He not su>*e
that his ventures in ir-gro folklore
would prove successful. He could not
,<nmv vv,l:" tlu-y would bring him
1 worhl-wide lame.
I At the time described, Mr. Harris
I was a young man . f 28. employed on
I Hie Atlanta Constitution. Sam \Y
j Small, afterward a reviva'isl, who
I had been writing for the same paper
I a popular column of negro story and
I dialect, had just resigned from I lie
I staff. The managing editor of (lie
Constitution, wishing to continue the
I feature, said to Harris one dav:
''Joel, it seems to me yon could do
that sort of thing In a lee. See if
\on can t turn in something tonight."
The young writer's memory flitted
back to his early day;* on a ofanlatjou.
All the quaint sayings of negro)
life?the little cabins, the fiddling
\
darkies. the wrinkled story-teller, the
black "mammies,M the noisy corn shuckings,
the bobtailed rabbits disappearing
along the road?cniuc
hurrying lrom the past. Late that afternoon
ho turned in his copy. The
next day his reputation was made.
To tho Democratic Voters of Newberry
County:
T am a candidate for the house of
representatives. I would say to tho
voters and citizens of Newberry
town and county that I am !n favor
of: local option, and especially a county
distillery, located in some convenicnt
place, and with a capacity of not
loss a hundred gallons per day. I !
on in favor of a distillery because
tlic manufacture and sale of liquor i
brings in more revenue than any other
commodity. The distillery to use
only sound fruit and grain in the j
manufacture of the liquor; no chemicals
to bo used to enlarge the yield. .
For example, we will make a mathe-|
matical calculation to see what it i
will cost to run a distillery full time
for twelve months: Corn. 18.250 bush- !
els at 00c. per bushel, will be $10,- i
fX'O for one year. Labor, ton men at '
* .00 per month, $.1,000 per year. '
Wood, $2,1 no per year, three cords ;
per day at $2.00 per cortf. rTovern- !
"lent tax. $30,500 per year. Yield, j
.'{0,500 gallons, which wili sell at $1.00 !
per gallon, makig $140,000. the total ,
expense hein<r $H.2I0. leaving a ;-"o- '
fit of $02,700.
This profit ean be applied to the :
building of permanent roads and i
other county expenses, which will do I
away with levying a special tax on
real estate for that purpose.
Respectfully.
Os. Wells.
