The law prov tie a pen altv for failure to make a return and nk<;k<> swindlers at work.' j Our colored readers urt> warned lo be on the lookout lor nemo swindlers who are operating in the state. The colored people of the rural districts have lots oi money and the sharpers have adopted many ways of taking it away from them. As a rule the negroes who are swindling other members of their race come from th0 cities an,j they have invented many plausible ways of separating the town and county negroes from their money. So far their operations have be?n coin tiled to other parts of the state, and it is likely they will move this way when things get too hot for them. One of the schemes is to engage a negro in run \ ei sa i inn .inn linn |?> nviiun find a pocket book. In the pocket book is what is supposed to be a $1000 bill. The sharper tells his victim it' he will keep his mouth shut lie will divide the find with, him. But when the tittle conies for making the division they must net th(J bill changed. It is risky for the finder to go to the bank with a bill of such large denomination and he tells the victim to go to the bank and draw out $500 and turn it over to him and he will give him the $1000 bill. Sometimes the victim does not get the $1000 bill, but if he does it is found to be a poor imitation of a counterfeit. This game has been work-, ed on many negroes in other parts of the state during the past few weeks. Our colored friends art> advised against talking to or taking up their, time with strange negroes. Sometimes the sharper presumes to know all about his intended victim and en quires as to the health of certain members of the family. They have! been known t0 approach a victim by sympathizing with hint over the recent death of a relative. Fight sh> of the strange negro, and even if outdoes approach you don't let him know that yon possess any money. Ciel of Xew >|taper.

A few weeks ago Judge Davis purchased a line racing horse. The purchase was made on the recommendation of a friend in Kentucky who claiine(| to know more about horses than could be printed in a hook the size of an unabridged dictionary. The Judge had been telling his friends of the splendid purchase he made: through his Kentucky friend and ilie horse arrived while the Judge was in: Florida. The animal was unloaded and placed in a good stall where he, could be cared for until the Judge's return. Hut while waiting for the Judge to return "Biff" Bcthea and other friends who know the racing: decided to olav a joke on the] Judge- They found out the exact day he would return and so picking out ;>n old. bony, decrepit animal that had weathered not less than '20 winters, they trimmed off the fetlocks, plaited his tail and inane. b'Miketed him and invited the judge 01J ''le raco track to see his fine race horse "perform." The Judge looked the monstrosity over in silence for several minutes, then he examined his mouth. He walker around him several times while those who were on to the joke could scarcely restrain themselves. Finally he broke the silence by exclaiming. "Say fellers, look at the muscles in those hind legs. Don't you I know there's power there?" This was] too much for the crowd. The specta-i tors broke into fits of laughter and th^ Judge discovered that they were' trying to "put one over" On him. o THK (i.A.MK DAWS.
