Wealthy Citizen Found Guilty of
Selling Liquor.
Spartanburg, November 18.?Col.
walthy citizen of this county, was
1 , Aaron Thompson, a bachelor and
wealthy citizen of this county, was
convicted in the court of general sessions
this morning on the charge of
selling liquor. Sentence has not been
been imposed as counsel for the defendant
has given notice of appeal.
Col. Thompson lives at Inman, in
the upper section of the county,
where he has an elegant country
home, and is famous for entertaining
his friends. Several weeks ago he
was suspected of being engage*, in
the whiskey business, and special
constables made out a case against
him on the evidence which they secured.
The case was to have been investigated
at Inman, but was transferred j
to Magistrate Golightly at Holly'
Springs. The hearing did not go,
lightly, for the colonel was bound |
over to court. The case was tried this I
morning and the jury returned a verdict
of guilty in fifteen minutes.
Dismisses Charge Against Railroad.
New York, November 20.?The indictment
against the New York Central
Railroad company, charging
manslaughter in the second degree,
growing out of the wreck of the
Brewster express in this city in February,
1907, in which more than 20
persons were killed, was dismissed
to-day upon recommendation of District
Attorney Jerome.
Mr. Jerome said that, in view of
tiie fact tnat tne government naa i
been unable to convict Alfred H. J
Smith, an official of the road, against
whom a similar indictment was filed,
it would be useless to bring the present
case to trial. Upon this representation
Justice David in the supreme
court granted the motion and
dismissed the indictment.

CONVICTED OF FRAUD.
Bankruptcy Case will be Reviewed
in Court of Appeals.
An appeal case from South Carolina
that is of more than ordinary interest
has been carried up to the
United States circuit court of appeals
now sitting at Richmond, Va. The
case is against iuaA ^uucu wuw wao
a merchant at Florence, S. C., and
failed and went into voluntary bankruptcy
in the fall of 1906. There appeared
to be a heavy shrinkage in
his assets and he was prosecuted for
concealing from his trustees in bankruptcy
$5,000 in goods and money
and tried and convicted in the United
States district court for the district
of South Carolina. Cohen has appealed
to the circuit court of appeals
and the appeal will be heard this
week at Richmond. Cohen has numerous
grounds of appeal but his
main ground is that the district
judge allowed the schedules of his
debts and assets which he filed in
bankruptcy to be admitted against
him on this criminal charge. Cohen
is the fourth person indicted in this
state under the present bankruptcy
act and the third to be convicted.
xne steeping ot-autj.
Frederick W. Lehman, the new
prsident of the American Bar Association,
was discussing at a dinner
in St. Louis a case where some of the
evidence had not been above suspicion.
"Well," he said "there were certainly
flaws in this evidence?teminological
inexactness, so to speak.
It reminded me of the girl in the
hammock.
"A pretty girl in a hammock slung
in an apple orchard awoke suddenly
and frowned at the young man who
stood before her.
" "You stole a kiss while I was
asleep.' she exclaimed.
" 'Well stammered the young man,
'you were sleeping so soundly?you
looked so pretty, so tempting, I?
yes, I admit I did take one little one.'
"The girl smiled scornfully.
"'One!' said she. 'Humph, I
counted seven before I woke up!'"

TRADING FOR A WIFE.
An Army Officer's Experience With
an Indian at Western Fort.
- ?-?iJ in., i.
"Me says ne wouiu use iu uauc
with you for your wife!"?it came
out at last. It was a startling proposition
indeed. For a moment we
were both too breathless to comment.
Finally my husband, yielded to his
impulse for amusement and smiling
at me he replied:
"Ask him what he will give for
her."
"He says six ponies, lieutenant."
"Oh. tell him she is worth lots
more than that."
"He will give you twelve ponies
for her."
My husband again replied that he
would not trade for any thing like
that; so the Indian kept raising his
bid. He offered twenty ponies; then
twenty ponies and a squaw; and finally
twenty ponies, a squaw and a
papoose. At length, wearying of the
nonsense, my husband nodded his
dismissal of the subject. But the
Indian seemed to think that the apparent
holding out for a higher price
constituted a trade when the final
offer was not rejected. He appeared
satisfied, but soon signified he
wished to finish the bargain. Of
course, my husband immediately objected.
My savage admirer continued
unaccountably insistent; and amicably
to rid himself of the Indian's importunity
my husband told him I
was not fit for more travel; that I
needed to go to rest at once. Accordingly
I entered our tent.
The Indian was not content, and
continued, with some of his companions,
to hang around the camp
up .1 one of the men told them they
irast now return to their camp, as
we were all going to retire. When
they had reluctantly departed my
husband laughingly told the lieutenant,
who had not been present during
the parleying, of the incident.
The latter looked grave, and expressed
a fear that the Indian, in the belief
that he had made a trade, might
cause trouble when the bargain was
not kept. My husband assured him
there was no agreement, and that the
buck had no basis for such a claim.
The lieutenant explained that the
failure to reject the last bid and the
presence of witnesses to the price
haggling was all that the Indian considered
necessary to make a binding
affair of heart and honor.
Of course, terms had to be reached
and my husband, for the only time
in his experience with the red men,
or as far as I know with any man,
agreed to compromise. He bought
them off, and appeased their disappointment
by a gift of good, hard
money and a lot of tobacco.?Army

IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE?
A Spartanburg Couple Are Parents
of Twenty-seven Children.
Wade Wilburn and his wife, Martha
Wilburn, who live on Mrs. Lillie
Padgett's place, about 6 miles northeast
of the city, have been married
twenty-seven years and are the parents
of twenty-seven children. Mrs.
Wilburn was fifteen years old when
she married Mr. Wilburn. She is
now 43 years old and her husband
53. The little Wilburns came singly
and in good health. That marriage
may be a profitable investment in
Spartanburg' county, this etory is
proof sufficient.?Spartanburg Herald.
