Among the pupils was a little girl whose free use of "swearwords" indicated lamentable conditions in the home circle. On one of the bishop's visits to the school the teacher told him of this little girl's persistent use of profanity, and asked him to talk to her about it. Later the good bishop called the child to him and, after putting her at ease by a few kind, fatherly words, told her how very wrong it was for a little girl to swear, and hoped she would not do it any more.

Saturday, observing a nice looking white'woman and child sitting in a farmer's buggy, we approached them, and asked her if die did not want the Aiken Recorder, and the New Idea Woman's magazine. She replied that she took in sewing from her neighbors, and would like very much to have them, but she had no money, and we would have to see her husband. A little while after when her husband?her worse half?came up, we spoke to him on the subject. He said he could not afford the expenditure of $1.50 a year, or even 75 cents for 6 months. He could not afford to take any newspaper. His breath at tha time smalt an nf * mm that it was unpleasant to stand in front of him. A little while after we saw him go into the vacant lot by the side of our office, take out a quart ; bottle of dispensary rum, and take another drink.

Spartanburg, Nov. 25.?Charles Crocker, a white man, was shot to death by Lewis Simmons, a young man about 22 years of age, at Simmons' home yesterday afternoon, as the result of a quarrel over some stock. After the killing Simmons surrendered to the authorities at Enoree and this morning he was brought to Spartanburg and lodged in^ jail. Coroner Turner of this county is at Enoree tonight, having held an inquest over Crocker's body this afternoon. The tragedy occurred in the lot at the home of Simmons, and it is said that the killing was the result of a quarrel about a mule. From what can be learned it appears that Simmons lives on a farm owned by Mr. Lawson,-who on Saturday went to the home of Simmons to get a mule, the latter having finished gathering his crop. Mr. Lawson went away, leaving the mule in possession of Simmons. On Sunday, according to the information received, Mr. Lawson, accompanied by Charley Crocker, went to the home of Simmons and carried an axe and a gun, so it is alleged, and one of them attempted to break into the stable door to get the mule. This brought on serious trouble between Crocker and Simmons, which resulted in the latter shooting the former to death. ( I to Sell yo iages, buggies, and wagons, s< are in a position to give yoi ou.

Remei * i UBER, UNUSUAL CASE IN LAURENS. uase Deioroinajnsiniie involving me Killing of a Negro's Horse. Laurens, Nov. 24.?Magistrate : John M. Hudgens had before him \ yesterday for preliminary hearing a ; rather unusual case. It involved a negro and a white man over the recent killing of the former's horse valued at $200. The magistrate took the matter under advisement and will render his decision later. The case involves some singular features. The principals in the affair live near Park's station. A few nights ago Mr. W. J. Jennings, the defendant, was awakened by an unusual noise about the house. Thinking at was some one trying to break in on him he opened a window aiid fired in the direction of the disturbance. At daylight he found a mule and horse in his yard which he recognized as the property of Turner Dillard, a colored farmer who lives nearby. The horse appeared to be sick and he went at once and notified Dillard. Mr. Jennings assisted iti treating the horse which was apparently suffering from an attack of colic. Finally Dillard carried the animal home and about 10 o'clock the horse died. Just before he aied, however, it was discovered that he had been shot. After his death Mr. J. 0. Templeton, on whose place the negro lives, made an examination of the wound and found that the ball had entered the horse's flank ranging forward, passing through all the animal's vitals, including his heart, making its exit near the burr of an ear. That a horse or anything else "shot up" in that fashion should survive several hours is the puzzling question. The defendant is charged with "wilfully shooting the horse." He admits shooting but had no idea or intention of killing anything. Did not know the animals were on the premises until the next morning. The firearm used by Jennings was a cheap pistol. Of course no evidence to this effect was heard in the preliminary, but this is the version on | the side of the defense. Father and Daughter at School New York, Nov. 22. ?

' * . \ The recent nervousness did noi reach a "panic," every one was un easy, but no one lost. The truth is there was abundance all received their own, the lack oJ enough crisp currency to make th( exchanges cut quite a figure, wher the Knickerbocker Trust Company or 5th Avenue closed its doors; it hac enough and to spare, but not in crisj currency. The Knickerbocker waf the first to start the uneasiness thai run wild for days. t Barney, t?e energetic president took hold of this institution a few years ago when its deposits were $11,000,000. Barney pulled it up to $66,000,000, then committed suicide. Strange that success and suicide should follow close, in each other's tracks, but it was so. The Knickerbocker, rankmg so high, on 5th avenue too, frightened lie populace. All the banks began clinging to cash on hand?knowing the masses with deposits would clamor for cash. New TT 1 * Ml* 1 lorK'S millions are a trinity people; (except a few) all have bank accounts representing savings of all kinds and amounts, $5.00 to $500,000. It is these millions from the masses, agl gregated that makes the active oper[ ating capital, daily bank balances to a great extent, that the banks do the business of the country with. The rich have theirs in other things, the masses theirs in cash in the banks and when they start a run it means something. The banks escaping runs might as well have them, for they have to hoard to be ready for such. It is said $1,400,000,000 was drawn out and put away by the people, what a hole it made. Solvent banks were strained to get and keep enough in cash for possible emergencies. It all was not because of any lack of values, of money,' the country was all right, the money plentiful, peace and prosperity prevailing, but in a twinkling there was, as it were, a signal and all put on the alert, and every dollar was tightly squeezed ?!il - nTi. i? i ? wiin a urm grip. xt umy rcquu cu <x release of the grip and all reacted. The masses as a rule know little of practical finance, are easily frightened and no arguments of "confidence" impress them, yet these people owning the active banking cash have it in their power to disturb, disrupt the business of the country and none can gainsay them for it is their money, yet it makes a strange condition of affairs. Too many think the banking capital is the rich, not so, it is the poorer people's. The banks combine their savings and create with them the billions for the business of the country. The worst is over; it was only a fright after all. H. W.

A lengthy conference has been held between the rector and the young ladies, r and the trouble fully discussed, but . no armistice was reached. Last Sunday the young ladies, who are Episcopalians, attended their ; church in a body. One of the young i ladies did not have her hymnal and a . lady occupying a pew nearby handed i her one. The book was opened at the fly leal, on which some one had [ drawn a cat and written an amusing sentence. The young lady smiled and passed the hymnal down the line for her friends to see. Every one was : amused and one by one smiled. When the hymnal reached the end of the , line the amusement was general, and the young ladies, in order to prevent general laughter, held their handkerchiefs and gloves over their mouths. The minister commanded i the young ladies to give him their attention. > | At the conclusion of the service he < ? . tt i asked tne college giris to remain, ; which they did, and it is said he gave Ithe young ladies a lecture. Upon arriving at the College they were piping mad; declaring that they should not have been criticised in public, if at all, but since they were, they were due a public apology. The position of the college girls was made known to the minister and a conference was held. It is said that he asked that the young ladies give him an apology signed by every Icollecre student who was Dresent. which they declined. The matter was discussed pro and con, wise and otherwise for at least two hours, but no satisfactory adjustment was { eached. The girls carried their troubles to the dean of the College, who, it is said, sympathized with them. She was asked if she would require them to attend service again, to which she I replied that they must use their own pleasure; that she would not force them to attend service. The girls concerned have written to their parents explaining the matter. It is deliciously palatable, agrees with the weakest stomach, contains the most soothing, healing, strengthening and curative elements. Makes you well and happy.
