Feebleminded White Woman the Victim. Laurens, July 14.?The arrival of Sheriff Thos. J. Duckett in the Pe? Ridge section of this county this afternoon broke up what was to have been a well organized lynching. Sheriff Duckett heard rumors of the trouble and upon going to the scene found Charley Ken nedy, a negro, chained in a barn, his I captors awaiting the arrival of a crowd which was to participate in the event. The lynching had been set for 5 o'clock this afternoon and the sheriff reached the scene at 4 o'clock and took charge of the negro. Notices had been seat out to the people in the section that Kennedy had been caught in Newberry and a time had been set for his execution. Sheriff Duckett carried his prisoner to Clinton and sent him under the charge of Deputy Sullivan to Columbia where he will be placed in the penitentiary for safe keeping. The negro is about fifty years of age. THE CRIME. The crime for which Kennedy came near being lynched was that of having been the father of the infant of a young white woman of this county. The woman was about thirty years of age and was about two weeks ago sent to the State Hospital for the Insane at Columbia. The woman was a member of a highly respected family of this county and had been feeble minded for some years. Kennedy has worked for the 'family for years and v as trusted implicitly. He was regarded as a bully by the negroes, frequently being in fights with the members of his race. The child of the woman is being cared for in Augusta and there is no doubt that the father of the baby is Kennedy. Seaboard Hit Hard. REV. AIKEN KELLY CURED. Clot of Blood Removed Prom His Brain and Surgeon Says There Will be no Return of Mental Trouble. Charleston, S. C., July 13.?Rev. William Aiken Kelly has been discharged from the Roper Hospital and is now at home recuperating from the effects of the operation upon his brain, removing a clot of blood, which, it is thought, will result in his complete restoration ot health and enable him to resume his ministerial duties. Dr. Kelly was relieved of his credentials at the meeting of the Methodist conference last December, but, in view of the very satisfactory performance of his ministerial duties, previous to his affliction, causing him to suddenly desert his pastoral charges and leave the State, it is probable that with his complete recovery, he will be restored to standing in the church. Mr. Kelly spent some time in Virginia and was for a long time at Charlotte before coming to Charleston. His whereabouts were established shortly after he deserted his pastoral charge, but in view of his affliction his family and close per- I sonal friends kept the matter quiet, and it was not until his coming to Charleston recently for the operation upon his brain that his movements became publicly known. His trouble was diagnosed by a Charleston snrirpon to he blood nressure UDOn vw?v? " *a ? t ? the brain, and upon the opening of the head, the condition was found to exist, as stated, and the operation was successfully performed. The surgeon is said to have given it as his opinion that there will be no return of Mr. Kelly's former brain trouble and his numerous friends through the State share in the hope that his condition will continue to improve, and that he will soon be able to resume his ministerial functions in the church which he served so well.

Th* Modern War and the Crui? Method* of Early Days. The sugar season opens a busy industry in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont Buckets are loaded on to the ox sleds, boxes of spiles and axes, and away to the sugar orchard! Sugar making nowadays is a science. Only in the extreme rural sections still remain the wooden buckets and cedar spiles, but there is still a sugar warmth, a bursting of healthy joy that breaks forth just as the swelling buds in the maples. No longer are there the crude methods of an open fire, of the kettles strung on green forked poles. Possibly sugar making has lost some of its genuine savor in the modern evaporators, but the product?and its commercial feature is of all importanceis finer grained, of purer color, freer from bits of bark and other foreign I Ci. use. Important changes in the sngar industry have lessened the wr.-* of the fanner. In the early da/s wooden buckets and handmade cedar spiles were used. That made bother in the orchard, for the bucket had to be placed on the ground, and the spile could not be far above it else the wind would blow the sap to one side and thus waste it As the snow melted the spiles had to be drawn, new holes nearer the ground made and the bucket replaced. Nowadays the spiles are of metal and the pails are hung on them. The evaporator is a sample of the rapid strides in sugar making facilities. The modern orchard has tin or galvanized pails and metal spiles. Occasionally a tree runs a bucket full every fa': day during the season, an average of ten quarts, although the general run is about half that amount unless the weather holds so the trees run during the night Good, honest sirup weighs eleven pounds to the gallon, and it takes a barrel of thirty-two gallons of sap to make a gallon of sirup. THE MAGNETIC COMPASS. First Used on European Vessels In tlie Twelfth Century* Some Asian people, perhaps the Chinese, discovered many centuries ago that a kind of iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We call this ore magnetic ore, or, In more common language, lodestone, and it is very widely distributed, especially in the older crystalline rocks. It was found that if a bit of lodestone were placed in water upon a piece of cork or straw braid it would turn till the axis of the stone assumed a north and south position. A phenomenon of magnetism bad been discovered by means of an ore that is peculiarly susceptible to magnetic influence. It is an open question whether the Chinese utilized the directive power of the lodestone, but it is certain that the first rude compass was not used on European vessels before the twelfth century of our era. By that time the true magnetic compass bad been evolved through the discovery that if an iron or steel needle were stroked on a lodestone it would receive the attractive and directive power of this ore. With this appliance placed at the service of navigation the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon dared to venture even out of sight of land. A new impetus was gradually given to cartography, for now the true directions of the coast lines might be charted with some approach to accuracy. It was the happy fortune of Italian sail- | ors to make the surprisingly excellent surveys of the directions and lengths of the Black sea and Mediterranean coasts and along the Atlantic to British waters that have come down to us in the so called Portulan map*?Cyrus C. Adams In Harper's. Twins. Talking to a physician about twins and commenting upon the marvelous likeness they sometimes bear to one another, be gave an interesting fact regarding them. "Ton can always distinguish one from the other," said be, "no matter how great the resemblance, for the elder invariably has the broader face. Notice twins hereafter, and you can say with certainty that the narrower faced one is the younger of the two. I have no authority for saying that fewer male than female twins are born, but I am of the opinion that the couple are more frequently girls or girl and boy than boys. Twin brothers are few and far between." A Husband's Retort. A man, accompanied by his wife, visited a merchant tailor to order a suit of clothes. The couple differed as Lo the material and the manner of making, and the wife lost her temper. "Oh, well," she said, turning away, "please yourself. I suppose you are ? il H the one wno will wear ine ciouies. "Well/' observed the husband meekly, "I didn't suppose you'd want to wear the coat and waistcoat"?Everybody's Magazine. Mistaken Idea. "It may be laid down as a broad proposition," said the professor of political economy, "that you cannot get something for nothing." "I once got the measles for nothing, professor," interrupted the young man with the wicked eye.?Chicago Tribune. An Editor's Reply. "Why didn't you retaliate when that 'ellow struck you?" "I didn't know him, and It Is our ule not to pay any attention to anonrcnous contributions."?Bohemian.

GAMBLERS' LUCK. i _______ A Joke Wkich Brought a Fortune to Its Innocent Victim. Having lost every cent of his ready money at the gaming tables, an English visitor at Monte Carlo wired a pathetic appeal for help to a friend in England. Two days later he received a letter addressed in the friend's handwriting which on being opened revealed a five pound note. Without pausing to read the letter, the plunger hastened to Ciro's, the famous restaurant in the Galerie Charles III., and changed his "fiver" into French money. From Ciro's he went straight into the Casino, where, experiencing an Extraordinary run of luck, he not merely retrieved all his previous losses, but gained a substantial increase into the bargain. ' Weary of play, he retired with a few cronies to Clro's again to celebrate the occasion. The usually genial M. Ciro met him at the door of his establishment with a flood of rerloaches and upbraidings. The five pound note was bad! He waved it angrily in the plunger's face?mais oui, it was false, this five pound note! The plunger took the guilty "fiver" and scrutinized it carefully. It was one of the sham bank notes issued by Sir Augustus Harris and bore on its face an advertisement of the Drury Lane pantomime. The English friend, himself as "broke" as the Monte Carlo plunger, bad posted him the flagrantly . worthless note as a joke?a joke which had the plunger taken the trouble to | examine the "fiver" or read its cover- < ing letter he would have seen only too clearly himself. It was fortunate that he did not do so. He merely paid Ciro his ?5 and, Inviting the pacified res- , taurateur to 6hare in the champagne, pretended that the whole affair was an j intentional witticism. < The conceit of a croupier, who fondly ? Imagined that he understood the Eng- 1 lish language, was Instrumental in presenting another and far less experienced Britisher with 1,000 francs. ( Th<a tmntleman ha n diner a 1.000 franc billet to the croupier in question, asked for plaques in exchange for it Plaques are the large five louis gold < pieces peculiar to Monaco. The croupier, fancying that the player had said "black*' and was requesting him to place the note on the "black" compartment of the cloth, did so unob- ' served. Black duly turned up. and the j croupier politely handed 2,000 francs to the surprised Britisher.?Ward Muir < in Chambers' Journal. i 1 pointed' paragraphs.
