Seems as if spring ? hadn r t a fair chance here in Potiphar City. Your father used to like a meas of pork and greens “Oh, ma, I wish vou wouldn’t want such dreadfnllv vulgaF things!” Ad die Luella who.was sixteen, had tears of vexation in her pretty blue eyes. “And I'wish you could get over East Macedonia. The Parkhursts came from there, too, but who would think it? They’re the very first people in Potiphar City and -and Augusta wouldn’t* invite Club tableaux. The reason for the little fine puckers that had been all day between Addie Luella's brows had com®, out now. Mrs. Tibbetts looked vaguely per plexed and troubled; the dimly com ting old niy prehended that to have a mother oh iivious of grammar and of social aspirations made life pricks for Addie Luella. full of pin good Hiram Tibbetts, gazing S ride upon his pretty daughter, id unaerstand a little up," said “When In Potiphar City one was nothing i' not stylish. Fifteen years before, the city had been a strip of unreclaimed prairie; now it was a great lumber town with most of the appliances of civilization and all the fashions. Hi ram Tibbetts, coming from East Mace donia in Maine, did his share in re claiming the prairie and made a for tune in lumber. “Pa” was auite a magnate of Potiphar City; but of what use was that, demanded Addie Luella, with tears, if ma would be so common and old-faahioned ? “I guvs you’ll have to do your so cil climbin’ without your ma,” said with ‘Pa” understand a little. It don’t seem a mite like Adeline Parkhurst to get so stuck Mrs - Tibbetts, reflectively, we was girls in East Macedony, there waVt nobody so intimate as Adeline and me; and! named vou for her and she named Augusty for me. Enoch Parker and your father are second cousins, too, and it’s a dretful clan nish familv; they stick to one ’nother through thick and thin. But your father and Enoch had a difficulty about some railroad stocks and hainl never spoke to each other sence; and then their goin’ to another meetin’, and Adeline gettin’ so kind of high Ilyin’; not but what she's a re*lgood woman and gives away a sight—’’ “She isn’t likely to have much to give away if what I’ve heard is tru This was Hiram Tibbetts, junior boy of seventeen, who had just come in with the importance of a possessor of news. “It’s a secret.

Kind of queer that I was thinkin’ of her this mornin' I expect it ’twas because seein’ them cowslips in a peddler's wagon fetched qld times right back to me. I run right out and bought all he had —and now I don't know as I know exactly what to do with ’em all. Your father uked to like a'mess of pork and greens.” Addie Luella sighed heavily; but she heliied herself to all the blossoms, and made of her boudoir what her friend, JTrixy Wainwright, called a symphony in yellow with them, and filled a great bowl with them to deco rate the dinner table. "Ma” said she loved to smell posies when she was eating: but she didn’t like the candles with which Addie Luella persisted in lighting the table; she said candles were old fashioned in East Macedony when she was a girl, and what was the sense of havin’ ’em when they had electric lights? “Pa” looked askance at the cowslip greens; he said he used to like ’em when he was a boy, but he guessed with his dyspepsy he' wouldn’t resk it. Mrs. Tibbetts looked at the neglected dish of greens and had an Inspiration (she kept it private, as she did many of her inspirations, lest they should be frowned upon by Addie Luella), She put some of the greens, with a slice of pork on the top, into a dish of the old clover-leaf chma that was her , mother’s—they seemed to belong in something old fashioned—and sent them to Miss Lucretia Lund, who had come from Maine to keep house for her brother. She placed the dish in a dainty basket and slipped a card in side conveying her compliments; that would impart a little air of style to the affair which was desirable in view of the fact that Addie Luella might find it out. “Cowslip greens from Mrs. Hiram Tibbettsthat’s what the servant said.’” . Miss Lucretia Lund took the clover- ’> leaf china cover off the dish and sniffed daintily. . Then she looked across the table at bier brother—for the basicet had been brought in while they were at dinner—and made a wry face. “Of course it’s very kind of her, but what queer me«M these Western people do have!” she said.

We don’t care for greens at all; I think I’ll send them around to Mrs. Parkhurst ; her mother is a very old lady from Maine, is visit! her, and pork and greens are so fashioned.’’ • - Mrs. Parker didn’t see Mrs Tibbett s card in the basket, and her messenger, who was sent for the doctor at the same time, gave the basket to one of the Parkhurst maids without any explanation. The Parkhurst family had got to their after dinner coffee by the Urns the basket reached them. Am it had come myrterioutly, Mrs. Park- hunt looked for some token of the donor, and found the card. ,,, She uttered an exclamation of sur prise, and her face flushed as she read the name aloud. # ‘ “Augusty Tibbetts! Why Adeline why Adeline! and cowslip greens, in the clover-leaf chiny that was her mother's the chiny that Augusty Pritcliard bad when she married Ns hum French! It's-juat as if ’twas yes- tiddy.” The wrinkled hands that lifted the clover-leaf china cover trembled visibly, and a tear came near falling .upon the pork and greens, Grandma was childish, the Parkhurst children thought. “I don’t see how she came to do it,” murmured Mrs. Parkhurt. ‘It’s boldin'out the olive branch, Adeline, and it ain't Christian not to take it sol" said the old woman, bro kenly' “Life is too short for lastin' bitterness; we was young together, and like own folks! Why, Enoch and Hiram Tibbetts are own folks.” “’Sh!” Mrs. Parkhurst laid her hand on her mother’s and glanced warning ly at her husband. “They’re the kind that hold grudge—both of them," she said, in a low tone. Enoch Parkhurst arose and left the table silently. He was a taci turn man by nature, and of late the habit of silence had grown upon him. The old lady said ahe thought Enoch waaburdened; old eyesare dimmed to some things only to be opened wider to others; his wife and the children said he waa al ways so; he had ao many business cares.

Carson is to be cleared awjiy, and before morning a young man by the name of Green, and Mrs. Carson, may be ap prehended, as warrants have been is sued for their arrest The killing is one of the blackest that has ever oc curred in this county and the direct cause which led to the deed is far more black than the crime. It ia rumored that Mrs. Carson and Green have been on intimate terms for some time and that Green became jealous of her bus band and killed him to get him out of his way. It ia said that the suicide theory is all a myth and that it was aranged to shield tne murderers. Spartanburg, 8. C., Aug. 5.—Mrs J. O. Carson, Ed Green and J. B. Page have been arrested for the mur der of J. O. Carsrtn, and if Judge Lynch does not take hand in the case Judge Benet will, perhaps, be called Upon to sit upon tne most horrible, cold-blooded murder case that has ever been tried in this State. After the killing Green fled into North parol ina. but on Sunday night was captured and brought back, getting off the train at Landrum's. There they were met by a mob of about 150 Who were eager to lynch Green on the spot and it wai with the greatest difficulty that the of fleers prevented it. - An investigation was begun today at Fingerville. There is an enormous and excited crowd present. The feel ing is most intense. Threats of lynch ing are heard on all sides and the sit uation is serious. Page has turned State’s evidence and told the story of the killing. He says that on that fatal night he slept at Green’s house and that Green and Mrs. Carson went over' to Canon’s home and on Green’s return he said: “Me and Mrs. Carson have killed Carson and if anything ever came* from it I will give you $100 to swear that I slept with tonight.” ' Page’s story, in the main, is true yet it is thought that he took a hand w the killing as some of his clothes, all besmeared with blood, were found at his houae. The prisoners will be brought to jail tonight if they can es cape the hands of the mob, ' 'Sheriff Dean Mid a posse have just left here for New Prospect, the scene of the killing, to protect, if pOeuble, the prisoners from the hands of an excited, mob of 600. ■ 1 • ' -’E Later The sheriff and poase have just arrived in chargfe of Mrs. Carson and her paramour: E.

The Holly Hill correspondent of the News and Courier says a distressing accident occurred Thursday afternoon week at the saw mill of Mr. Peter Mims,an estimable citizen, living near that place, which has since rreulted^ in one death, and may result in one or two more. Suddenly, without appar-. ently cause and without warning, th® boiler exploded with terrific force, felling to the ground beneath falling iron and timbers and scalding water Mr. Fletcher Mims and his young brother, Joel, sons of Mr. Mims, and I negro boy, who were at work round the mill. The bodies of all of them were cut, mangled and scalded by the boiling water in a frightful manner. Little Joel, who was severe ly cut about the head and tendered unconscious, lingered until Saturday afternoon, when he died. His funeral services were held at Target Church Sunday afternoon amid the tears of a throng of people. He was a sweet- tempered boy and universally belov ed. The young man is in a critical condition, and it is feared he cannot live. Many were the wishes for his recovery and restoration to his young u. uuxuu v. wife, formerly Miss Helen Clkassen, on between] of Charleston.

The appearance of the troops further a the populace and it was found necessary to oraer the soldiers to fir® which they did, killing a score of the rioters^ whose bodies were taken to the residence of the Russian consul, whose protection the people implored a reduction of the price ot with this object in view visit Muzal and Shah’s son, Muzaf-Er-Ed-Din, the gov ernor of the pro vino® who promised the desired reduction. The bazaars remained closed throughout August 4, and the people became clamorous for the deposition of the governor oi the city, whom they believe to be answer able for the troubl® The fighting be tween the troop* and people ooutmne.
