His Musical Instrument.
A tall, lean man from the country went
into a Kansas City music house yesterday,
says the Kansas City Times, and stepping
^ up to a clerk, asked to be shown some
brass horns. He spent fifteen minutes
* looking at three horns. Then pointing'
to a big one, he asked its price.
"Seventy dollars," replied the clerk
"And. that one?" he asked, pointing to
another. I
"Sixty." j
"How 'bout the other? /
"That's a $50 horn."

j Tampered With The Jurors.
Raleigh, N. C., June 17.?The sensation
of the day in the State is the finding of
two well known white men of this connJ.
% ty guilty of attempting to influence the
> jurors for Kilgo in the well known case
v. of the Rev T. J. Gattis, a Methodist
jjf*W T j'
minister, against President Kilgo, of
3b' Trinity College, and B. N. Duke, of the
American Tobacco Company, which was
non-suited here yesterday, Kilgo and
Duke being charged with malicious libel.
The action was taken by Judge Fred
Moore, presiding in the superior court.
He issued bench warrants for J. Rowan
Rogers, former Republican sheriff and
| now court crier in the Federal court here,
and J. P. Sorrell, a prominent farmer.
The testimony of two veniremen, one
jp . accepted as a juror, was that Rogers and
Sorrell had been to them and urged
them to help out Dr Kilgo in his suit and
> they would be taken care of if trouble
*.' cime.
P Kilgo, Duke and their known attorneys
swore that they knew nothing of the
matter. Judge Moore to-night found
both Rogers and Sorrell guilty and sent
them to jail for thirty days, with a fine
of |50 each. \

Jacob S. Galloway, judge of the probate
< court of Shelby county, Tennessee, and
.West Laughlin, who succeeds him, were
, talking of the divorce evil and the cause
leading up to the separation between man
and wife. 'T am beginning to believe," said
Judge Laughlin, "that it is carelessness
- -consequent upon ownership of each other
? that is responsible for most divorces."
"No, my friend," replied the expert in
these matters. "My experience runs
through many years, and I am thoroughly
convinced that there are just two things
that break up most marriages." "And
they are," answered Judge Galloway,
"woman's love for dry goods, and man's
fondness for wet goods."

News in and Around White Pond.
White Pond, June 20.?As some time
has elapsed since you have he<..,d from
our little city, your humble scribe will
send you a short article.
It seems to me the thermometer fairly
jumped up about the 18th and is holding
its own well. I seel by the daily papers
where numbers of people die daily in
New York from over heat. I tell you if
New York was in Aiken county they
would have enough heat to make them
die.
Mr. W. B. Nixon, who has for the past
month been building a tower and tank
and putting in water works, has about
completed his wonderful convenience.
His tower is 60 feet high. The water is
raised to the tank by means of two horse
power gasoline engine and a steel valve
pump. Mr. Nixon is sure a hustler.
Miss Joe Drummond, one of White
Pond's Acnomnlishedand charmin? voune
ladies, who has been attending Limestone
College at Gaffney, S. C., has returned
home for the vacation.
Messrs. Owens & Bell are doing a
rushing business with their saw mill.
They will ship six cars of heavy stuff tomorrow.
Misses May and Mayme Carr Nixon
left this morning for Clemson college,
where they will attend the State summer
school for teachers.
We had a very refreshing rain Friday
night, which was much needed. The
cotton crop looks very well except it is
small. The corn crop is sorry all the way
through.
Mrs. G. E. Copeland and son, George
Edward, Jr., anticipate visiting friends
and relatives in Bamberg and Orangeburg
counties right soon.
It seems to me I hear the chimes of
wedding bells not very far off.
It is certainly wonderful how the prices
of cotton made the farmers clean the hay
crop out of their cotton fields.
G. Frank Bamberg handles the best
buggies and wagons, yet the prices
are reasonable.
She Couldn't Do It.
An Irish woman walked into a large
department store. The floor walker, who
was very bow-legged, asked her what he
could do for her. She told him that she
would like to look at some stockings that
were advertised.
"Just walk this way, ma'am," said the
floor walker.
The woman looked at his legs.
"No, sir," she indignantly replied, "I'll
die first."

An exchange tells the story of a poor
workingman who told his wife, on awakening
one morning, a curious dream
which he had during the night. He

in order, four rats. The first one was
very fat, and was followed dy two lean
rats, the rear rat being blind. The
dreamer was greatly perplexed as to what
evil might follow, as it had been understood
that to dream of rats denoted
calamity. He appealed to his wife concerning
this, but she, poor woman, could
not help him. His son, who heard his
father tell the story, volunteered to be the
interpreter "The fat rat," he said "is
the man who keeps the saloon you go to
so often; the two lean rats are my mother
and me; and the blind rat, father, is yourself."?Selected.
An Obliging Editor.
In course of the conference held in
Washington last year by the American
newspaper humorists, some one told the
following, declaring that William Allen
White was the hero of the story. One
day there strolled into White's sanctum a
man. who was evidently a politician. He
edged confidentially towards White and,
slipping a memorandum written by himself
under the eyes of the editor, said:
"Say, old man, I'd take it to be a great
favor if you'd just manage to put in the
paper that I'm iu town with my wife,
otftnniner at: tho Riant hfttpl "Will miffht
OWUJ/J.II.J, -? -X
work in something as to my being an eminent
Kansan or words to that effect. Personally,
I don't care a hang about this sort
of guf; but?well, you know what the women
are. And I'll take one hundred copies
of the paper."
And the eminent Kansan laid before
the editor a five dollar note. Then he
took his departure. The next morning,
to his intense amazement and disgust he
reads in White's paper: "Mr. Richard
Dash requests us to say that he with his
wife, is stopping at the Blank hotel; that j
he is an eminent Kansan; that he himself
cares nothing for newspaper notoriety
but that a society note would be somewhat
gratifying to Mrs. Dash. He adds
that he will take one hundred copies of
the paper for distribution among his
friends."
She Makes a Mistake.
The following is told of a couple who
attended the Wyoming State fair and
stopped at one of the best hotels in Salem.
About 2 a. m., the husband was seized
with severe stomach cramps and was almost
frantic. His wife was very much
frightened, but she knew something must
be done quickly, so without putting
on any clothes she started down
stairs on the jump with naught on but
her "nighty." Running into the dining
room she saw the mustard cruet on the
table. Emptying the contents into her
cVip otartpd rin stairs on the

run and entered the first door she came to.
Here she saw a man lying on the bed, who
in the dim darkness she mistook for her
husband, and gently tucking up.Tiis lingerie
slapped the poultice on his abdomen.
The man let out a howl and sitting up in
bed shouted: "Woman, what in the h?1
are you doing?" There was a shriek, a
patter of feet on the hall floor and frightened
half to death the poor wife found
her room and suffering husband. She
told him her troubles, and it tickled him
so that his cramps took a change of
venue.

Camburn, a guide, says that one cold, wet
night Mr. Cleveland got lost. He
wandered through the ram and darkness,
trying to find fiis party, out not a nouse
conld he see, nor a light, nor a road.
Finally he struck a narrow lane and
in due course a house appeared. It was
now late. Mr. Cleveland was cold and
tired. He thought he could go no father,
so he banged at the door till a window
on the second floor went up and a gruff
voice said: "Who are-you ? "
"A friend," said Mr. Cleveland.
"What do you want ? "
"I want to stay all night."
"Stay there, then."
And the window descended with a
bang, and Mr. Cleveland shouldered his
gun again and wearily resumed his
journey.

It is no secret, that for cuts, burns,
ulcers, fever sores, sore eyes, boils, etc.,

Got The Best of Gen. Bntler.
During liis boyhood Benjamin F. Butler
was a frequent visitor in the town of
Nottingham, N. H., where an uncle resided,
and among the many stories related
of him is one concerning his examination
of Pat Murphy, a local character.
Tim Dolan had been accused of selling
liquor, and the prosecution summoned
Pal to testify in the case. Now Pat was
a job teamster, and Butler endeavored to
make him admit that he had delivered
liquor to the defendant.
Butler asked: "Did you ever take any
freight from the railroad office and deliv
er to Tim Dolan?"
"Yis, sor."
"Part of this freight was a barrel,
wasn't it?"
"Yis, sor."
"Pat, what was in the barrel?"
"I don't know, sor!"
''Don't know! Wasn't the barrel
marked?"
"Yis, sor."
"Then how dare you tell the court that
you don't know what was in it?"
"Because, sor, the barrel was marked
Tim Dolan on one end and bourbon
whiskey on the other. How the devil did
I know which was in it?"?Boston Herald.

His Reference.
In the course of a conversation between
two men at the club last night one of
them jokingly remarked that a man with
"cheek" could get anything he desired,
and he backed up his statement with the
following story:
One or his friends, a merchant, had
advertised for a porter. A big, burly
Irishman applied for the job. After
looking him over the merchant was
satisfied with his appearance. The only
objection was the question of references
and the Irishman did not seem to have a
very good one. "Can you get no better
reference than this?" asked the merchant.
"Oh, yis, sor. I kin git ye the very best
kind of a wan if that's all ye want, sor,
and I don't have to go far for it either.
Me father and me mother, sor, live down
the sthrate, and they've known me all me

The Longest Day.
June 21 is the longest day of the year
when the sun reaches its Northern limit
the tropic of Cancer. At points on the
line of the artic circle there is the wonder
of the midnight sun, and many tourists
go long distances to witness the sightIt
is singular how accurately the semibarbarous
nations were able to observe and
reckon. On Salisbury plain, in England,
may be seen a -cromlech erected by the
druids. It is a circle of huge stones which
once formed a temple, but the interesting
part of the structure is the sacrificial
stone, which is a broad, flat slab so placed
that the rays of the rising sun strike full
upon it only on the 21st of June. The
old guide who shows the place to visitors
tells the story that a young girl once said
to him, "I suppose you have seen it hundreds
of times, haven't you?"

the Epworth Herald: A fresh looking
young man who sat next to him, and who
had been eyeing him all along, suddenly
asked: "What sort of a 'nese' are you,
anyway? A Chinese or a Japanese?"
The little Jap was not caught napping.
Quick as a wink he replied: "What sort
of a 'key' are you, anyway? A monkey,
a donkey, or a Yankee?" The fresh
young man had no more to say, and left
the train quickly when City Hall Station
was reached.?Sunday School Victor.
Is It Right?
Is it right that a property owner should
lose $4.20 to let a dealer make 50 cents?
A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen
gallons of ready for use paint, at $1.50
per gallon, than our agent does on eight
gallons of L. & M. paint and six gallons
of linseed oil, which make fourteen gallons
of the best paint in the world, at
$1.20 per gallon; the property owner loses
just $4.20. Is it right? It only requires 4
gallons of L. & M. and 3 gallons linseed
oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten

& Martinez L. & M. paint. Liberal quantity

Dad's Old Breeches.
A Missouri boy puts it like this: "When
dad has worn his breeches out they pass
to bud John, then ma turns them round
about and Bill puts them on. When
Bill's legs so long has grown the trousers
fail to hide 'em, then George claims them
for his own and styles himself inside 'em.
Next Sam's fat legs they close invest,
and when they stretch no tighter they're
turned and shortened, washed and pressed
and fixed on me, the writer. Ma
works them into carpet rags when I
burst out the stitches; at doom's day we
perhaps will see the last of dad's old
breeches."
Wouldn't Use Slang.
"I think it is shameful the way that
girl spits slang," said a pretty girl to a
friend. "My, if I twirled my talker the
way she does my blooming old dad would

Jane Term of Court. K
The June term of the court of general
sessions was convened here on Monday,
with Judge Jatnes Aldrich presiding, and
Solicitor Davis and Stenographer Byrnes
on hand.
There were no cases of particular interest
which were brought up at this term
save the State vs. Gunnels; this was tried
and after the jury had remained out for
an hour a verdict of not guilty was re- '-J
tnrnpd
In the case against Lanza Thompson,
for recklessly riding a bicycle, a new trial
was granted on appeal from the magistrate's
court. * . vjj
The grand jury returned true bills is
the following cases: Adam Tucker grand
larceny and house breaking; John Henry
Moody, house breaking and larceny;
Daniel Jenkins, grand larceny; Bill Clemon,
assault and battery with intent to.
kill; Fred G. Gunnels, murder.
Adam Tucker said he was "it" and the >
judge consented to give him employment
on the highways of this county to the
extent of two years. Adam has been
there before and will feel doubtless like j
returning to his own habitation after &
sojourn in strange lands. / John
Henry Moody, a dark brown sport yfjj
inclined towards black, on account of his
own liberality towards his county, has
kindly consented to take not only one .
year on the roads, but an additional six
month?. This will be greatly appreciated ,
by his Bamberg admirers, as John Henry
has made his presence known here by ,
his thrift; he having the reputation of
being the most ardent admirer of that
God of sleeD. Moroheus.
