LUCAS, Augusta, Ga. Slow Train Story. ; , "Here's the latest slow train story," said a traveler. "A passenger on the Blue Ridge railroad, which is not noted for its annihilation of either space or time, contended vigorously when he reached his destination against a looseness of laws which would permit beggars to bother the passengers. For miles and miles today," he continued, "the passengers were almost driven frantic with annoyance by a wooden-legged beggar, who kept walking beside and around the train, asking the passengers for alms. It ought to be forbidden by law." - - ' ' * .. v~ * * A Quiet Marriage. Miss Annie Wright, only daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Wright, was married at the residence of her mother in this city last Sunday afternoon to Mr. J. Courtney Ray. The marriage was a very quiet one, only the immediate family of the couple being present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of trinity Methoodist church. The bride was born and reared in Bamberg, and is exceedingly popular with old and young. Her gracious manners and fine character have endeared her to a very large circle of friends, who wish for her every joy and happiness. The groom is a prosperous young farmer of the Lees section. He is a fine young man, and is well-known and has a number of friends in Bamberg, as he formerly attended the Carlisle Fitting School. In common with their many friends, The Herald extends congratulations. Denies the Charge. Americus, Ga., July 28.?Judge C. H. Crisp, son of the former speaker of the House of Representatives, has received a letter from William J. Bryan with reference to the charge that Bryan had failed to support Crisp's father in the contest for speaker of the House. Bryan says that while he voted for Springer in caucuses as he lived in Springer's district and had promised to support him, he had voted for Crisp when the election was held in the House. Says Bryan: Nothing but most malignant enmity can account for the circulation of the charge that I am prejudiced against Southern Democrats. Every Southern man with whom I served in Congress is able tn ormtrAdir.t. this. I have insisted years ago that it does not matter where a candidate comes from, but what he stands for should determine his selection. Can't Seek Whiskey Orders. Atlanta, Ga., July 31.?Judge Richard B. Russell today in the Georgia court of appeals, with the concurrence of the entire court, rendered an opinion to the effect that the solicitation of orders by mail in another state for whiskey or other intoxicating beverages in the State of Georgia, as well as in the State by any individual or corporation, is a violation of the laws of the State of Georgia, and any person making such solicitation is guilty of a crime against the State.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafhess (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Rock Hill, July 31.?A heartless and brutal attempt was made here yesterday by a negro woman named McFadden to abandon her month old infant. The girl, whose mother is a servant for Mr. Reid of this city, came from Charlotte on an early train carrying a month old baby in her arms. Walking down the railroad to White's pasture in the neigh borhood or tne ice company s piani she placed the baby in a clump of grass and took her departure. Some one saw the child and reported it to the police. They at once thought of the girl who got off the train with the baby and proceeded to look her up. It was a shrewd guess on the part of the officers for the woman had no child with her when found. She denied knowing anything about this or any other any child, but when they told her she would be locked up unless she found her child in a hurry she gave in and proceeded to where she had deserted her baby. The baby was apparently none the worse for the experience. When the inhuman mother was found by the officers she was singing as though as happy as a lark and with a conscience "void of offense." She is now on the inside looking out. FOUR NEGROES HANGED. Quietly Taken From Jail and Hanged to Famous Tree in Old Kentucky. Russellville, Ky., Aug. 1.?The bodies of four negroes swung from the limbs of the "old Hanging Tree," when the sun rose this morning. They had been taken from the Logan county jail during the night and lynched by a mob of 50 men. The victims are: Virgil Jones, Tom Jones, Robert .Tones. Joe Rilev. The cause of the lynching was the murder of James Cunningham, a white farmer, living near Allensville, Ky., in Todd county, by Rufus Browder, colored, a week ago. Browder ambushed Cunningham because he had been discharged; Browder is in jail in Louisville for safe keeping. The negroes who were lynched belonged to a lodge, which had passed resolutions endorsing the move of Cunningham. For this four were arrested on charges of conspiracy. Last night a mob quietly entered Russellville, went to the home of Jailor Butte, covered him with guns, secured the prisoners and hanged them so quickly that the town did not know of it until this morning. Not a shot was fired. Two of the negroes were in their night clothing. Pinned to one was the following note: "Let this be a warning to you niggers to let white people alone or you will jgo the same way. You lodgers had better shut up or be quiet." Letter to J. A. Spann, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: A man fed his hens half meal and half sawdust; he thought they wouldn't know the difference. He concluded they did when the eggs hatched woodpeckers. Another man painted his house trrifV? o noinf 111of uroo" moHfi r%f holf nibU a paiub vunv it uu uiwuv u?ma paint-substitutes. He didn't know the difference?not till he paid the painter.

He paid too much for his eggs, and they hatched woodpeckers. Yours truly 13 F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint. Father Leading Posse. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 1.?Word has been received that William Douglas, white, aged 23 years, who is charged with having assaulted Helen Duncan, aged 13 years, at the Duncan summer home, north of Indianapolis, has been surrounded in the woods on Whitet river near here and a'squad of detectives has gone to the scene in automobiles. The man is hemmed in by a posse of farmers headed by the father of the girl. It is feared violence may be dealt to Douglas if the officers are not on hand when the capture is made. The assault on the Duncan child was bold, as the assailant saw the child's mother not a hundred yards away when he grabbed the child and dragged her into the woods. gwroiDgiogigitpgitiiipiBi I Twenty-Nil m H am i i* ^B ^B B 1 Mountain IVia Southern Railwa; Very low round trip rates to Carolina, South Carolina, and ' and Norfolk, Va., including A Hendersonville, Hot Springs, Saluda, Shelby, Tryon, and \\ ville, Anderson, Glenn Springs, ? ? burg, Walhalla, and White Sto Tickets will be on sale to tli A? all trains on August 14th, 19( J?
