Mr. Carlisle enjo.ys the advantag es of city and country life. He has an elegant home. But the thing that most charms the visitor is the beauti ful landscape in front of the dwelling. This is sown in grasses and planted in rare trees and shrubbery. The lemon tree with its golden fruit and the hol ly with its crimson berry and other frees, not to be found any where else in the south, makes the spot an Eden. Dr.' Lathan once visited at this home. Viewing this spo.t he said to Mr. Car lisle: "I would be afraid to live here, lest my children would be so' thoroughly content with its beauty that they would make little effort to reach heaven.'' Mr. Carlisle replied. "I like for my children to be raised in a beautiful home so .they may the better be fitta for the heavenly home.''--R. S. Galloway in A. R. SESSIONS COURT.

Convicted of Manslaughter. In the case of the State v. Perry Lindsay, colored, charged with mur- I der. wilch was in progress when Fri- I dav's issue of The Herald and News went to press, a synopsis of the testi mony being given in that issue, the jury shortiy before the dinner recess ou Friday returned a verdict of guil ty of manslaughter, and Lindsay was sentenced to serve fifteen years in the Stafe penitentiary. . It will be re called that Lindsay was charged with murder in the killing of a five-months old baby at Little River Baptist ichurch while he was engaged in a dif ficulty with another negro, Chris Crump. Stole Two Bicycles. John Wicker. colored. pleaded uiiltv in two cases to stealing bicv eles. one the property of J. W. Chap pell and the other the property of W. (1. Maves. He was sentenced to serve one year and to pay a fine cf one dollar for each offence. Murder With Recommendation to Mercy. Tom Swindler, colored, charged with murder in the killing of Hender son Chick, also colored, at Jalapa, on Saturday, August 8, was convicted of murder with recommendation to mer cy. Swindler was defended by Messrs. Blease and Dominick. The State's testimony was to the effect that Swindler and a crowd o. negroes were gambling on the Saturday in question, and Elliott Chick, a brother of the deceased, won fifty cents of a dollar whioh Swindler had on the ground and picked up the dollar, putting down fifty cents change, whereupon Swindler pulled out his pistol and told Elliott Chick to lay the money down. The evidence was that one of the other negroes told Elliott to put the money down and that Elliott did so. The State's witnesses testified, however, that Swindler continued to hold his pistol on Elliott Chick,* and that Henderson Ch-iek ran up and grabbed around Swindler, and they engaged in a tussle over the pistol, the pistol being fired once in the tus sle, that shot not doing any damage. It was testified that when the first shot was fired Henderson Chick turn ed Swindler loose and ran, whereupon Swindler fired upon Henderson as he was running, the bullet striking him in the temple, passing through his head and killing him. The defendant and his witnesses contended that when Hendersoii Chick ran up and grap pled with Swindler that Elliott Chick also caught Swindler and that the three were engaged in the tussle when the pistol fired. The case was given to the jury on Friday afternoon, and the verdict was returned late Friday night. Not Guilty.. Will Rogers, colored, charged with murder in the killing of Richard Gall man, .colored, on Mr. H. H. Evans' Kinard place, in August of this year, was acquitted. Rogers was defended by Mr. E. S. Blease. The testimony of all the witnesses was to the effect that a number of negroes were in the house where one Marshall Burgess lived, on the place, when Gallman came in with a card in his hand, and said something in a joking way about he had them, or to consider themsel- ja yes under arrest, or something to that effect, w.hereupon the gun fired, and 1 Rogers exclaimed that he was sorry . he did it-that he did not know the4 gun was loaded. Gallman before his] death stated that he believed the shooting was entirely accidental. There was some testimony to the ef-1 fect that when the gun was brought into the house by one of the negroes that it was unloaded and the gun] and shell were placed on the table, and that after t-hat time a small boy haff been working with the gun, and it was argued to the jury by counsel for the defendant that Rogers had reason to believe the gun was not loaded and should not be held re sponsible for criminal carelessness. The solicitor asked for a verdict of manslaughter on the ground of crim inal carelessness, admitting that there was no malice, but the jury took the 1 view that it was an accident for 1 which Rogers should not be held< blamable.

At the service on Sunday at Cen -al Methodist church Dr. J. W. Wol ng, the pastor, su-bmitted a report f the year's work. It is a very grat ~ying showing. The congregation has rown and closes one of the most sue essful years in the history of the rurch. The following is Dr. Wolling's re ort: After an absence of twenty years 1 the Brazil Mission of our Metho ist chureb, I returned to' my native tate last year, and was just a year go appointed by Bishop Morrison to 'ewberry to Central church. I was willing, but not quite sure of -hat I could do after working in dif went surroundings for so long. How ver, as the year draws to a close I a able to report a successful year. As compared with the work of my redecessors I find that as far as the tord goes the pastor-ate of Rev. S. [. Zimmerman was the most success d as to mem!bers received. In the 1ee years of his pastorate he added >the roll of the church seventy eigh.t embers.' During this year the num r of names added is eighty, or two Lore than the total received in the tee years. It is to me very grateful >be able to record such, results, not ; a comparison but as a sign of re its obtained during the year. Also in financial matters thme church as done well. The churcn debt hasI en reduced nearly tw:) thousand >llars, andl the total r-aised for pas >r support, benev>i1'.itr co'letions ad acr objects an. nits t*' five tousand dollars, or a i: mor n~te. So iat I may fairly say tis has for entral been a successful year. The various societies of the church ive been'actively and successfully at ork. The amo)unts for tlie benevo nees of tihe year, or conference col etions, are not quite all in hand but ill be. The following are thie amounts_a ported: astoral support .. .... ..$1,356.00 oference collections ...519.00 alendar society .. ........373.00 icidentals .. .... .... ....495.00 hurch debt .. .... .....1,333.00 roman's Home Mis.
