White Man Jailed for Stealing Cattr.i.
The Yorkville correspondent of
the News ami Courier says that
J. H.Shngart,?i one-armed white
man, has been committed to jail
for stealing a bale of cotton ami
trying to sell it in Rock llill. At
lloddey's ginnery, near Rock Hill,
Shugirt spied a bale of cotton and
was struck with a bright scheme
by which he sought to make it
his. I n-een hv unvoiie lie r..ll.wi
V J * "
Hit? cotton gome distance fr??m the
ginnery into a thicket and then,
striking for Koek Hill lie, made a
trade with a drayman to go after
it and bring it to town, oil\ ring to
pay one dollar. In the mcaiitiine
the manager of the gin, Mr. Furgerson,
had discovered the cotton
in the thicket and when the drayman
arrived pounced down upon
him. The drayman, being entirely
innocent of intended wrong-doing,
told his story. Mr. Ftirgerson
decided to a low the cotton to go
on to Rock Hill and to follow
it. Shugart met the drayman and
took posession of the cotton, lie
had it cut and began a round of
the buyers. Mr. Furgorson following
at a safe distance. Finally
the cotton was about sold and the
police appeared. Shugart broke
for liberty, but was finally inn to
earth under n cotton platform and
turned over to Magistrate lieekliam,
who committed him for trial.

The Youthful Ambition of Great Men.
The hoytiine ambitions of some
great men arc curious to recall.
Howard Pylo wanted to lie a locomotive
engineer. Senator P?. It.
Tillman says, that in his case, a
good surgeon was spoiled. The
lad who ;s now known as |)r. J\
I )e Witt Talm- go a.-pi red to a
st; go driver at It). Leonard Wood
longed to walk a qnai tor-deck.
The poor boy, \n Irew Ca tn gie,
in far-oil" Scotland, was itching to
/
<^et to Now York and become the
owner of a meat newspaper. If
George Dewey hail lunl his way
as a boy, lie would have been a
bii<jadier in the Spanish war instead
of sinking Montijn at Manila.
Bronson Howard was disappointed
that ho was not a "lobe-trotter.
Win. Jennings Bryan, had he been
permitted, would have hoeoine a
Baptist preaoher. William Dean
Howells rooolleets that his greatest
ambition was to diive mules to
tow a ennui boat. So the world
may eon^iatnlate itself on man) a
ease of disappoint*' ! ambition.
