It strikes 1 that he would be a good man to lea1 at home this year. He has no dou been of sufficient service to his cou fv try on the winding-up commissic to suffice for many years to come.

He organized t company and was made preside] but a few months ago, before t mill was ready to run, Mr. Evans i signed and S. H. McGhee was elect president. Mr. McGhee has go ahead and finished the plant and t mill is now running. We know th tjreenwuoa is uoi a uuuhjuululj v?uc high finance flourishes, and we are little curious to know how it came about. Mr. Evans, who by t way, had been with the Southe Cotton Oil Company for a number years, resigned his position to acc the presidency of the cotton mill, a now he is out of a job but runni for congress.

Hill, = a well known citizen and farmer of it 'he the Peniel section of this county, fc 111 suffered a bad accident early yester- h: ng day morning, in which he lost two p: sr- and a part of two more fingers, be- bi ck sides, he will probably lose the entire di ky use of his left hand. e^ [al Mr. Hill was at the grist mill grind>le ing corn for a neighbor and, as he a: st~ thought the mill was not running, he vi a.;' stuck his hand up the mouth of the pi is' hopper, from which the meal leaves m )le the mill, and his fingers were caught w between the rocks. They were $ 3r_ ground up badly and it was only by tr id- a terrific force that he managed to by pull his arm out. The sinews in the o< ^ arm were literally pulled out and he tl iaj suffered agonies until Dr. D. H. al >n. Smith, from this city, who was hur- li ix> riedly summoned, reached his side c? ? * and administered opiates. l0. Later in the day Mr. Hill came to is tr- the city and had the wound dressed, bi .d- m ai ag Fortune Teller Sent to Jail. 9 *st Greenville, May 26.?Coroner Bat- p( ,ys son committed to jail a white woman tjse by the name of Maggie Taylor, alleged quack doctor and fortune tel- er ;e> ler, following an investigation of the w or death of a negro woman Friday in morning, who it is claimed, departed ai this life about four hours after turning her back on the treatment pre- w = scribed by a local physician and tak- b( ing instead a dose of medicine from w the fortune teller, said to contain ai ~ poison. On the witness stand to-day jn L1C re it was stated that the alleged witch diagnosed the deceased ailment as qi "chronic poisoning from pins, needles ve and glass," the alleged quack doctor ^ lg testified that the medicine which she m prescribed contained nothing but I's "Mayapple, sarsaparilla and corn t)1 s: whiskey." ni Negro Riddled" With Bullets.

Having been identified as . s- bi the assailant, he was taken from the . r?v cr J officers, carried into a field and rid- . m died with bullets. m as ^ co re Threatened Life of Governor., a bt Atlanta, May 24.?John William at n" Powers is back in Georgia a hand)n cuffed, prisoner, despite the fact that he told Governor O'Neal, of Alabama. la that he would shoot him dead in his " office at the capital if he had the nc temerity to issue requisition papers. Pc Governor O'Neal decided he would *r 1 take a chance and signed the papers is right under Powers' nose. Powers ^ ' is the picturesque outlaw who re- Pc '? tired in the wilds of Alabama about *** 'S 1 ' * a year ago and kept the people in the L" mountains around Vincent in a cons tinued state of terror. eE Powers went always armed, and *e has had several hairsbreadth escapes. ri; Once private detectives got the drop Sr a_ on him and were ready to take him to es Birmingham, when he asked permission to put on a clean collar. Hand- p, re cuffed as he was the officers never thought of danger and granted the I request. Powers got a revolver out ' of the bureau drawer instead of the ly clean linen, and holding it in both in his handcuffed hands got the drop on M I the officers and escaped.

It is unique. The last h; 'e- sentence contains a valuable sugges- m ed tion to others who dislike to receive n ne disagreeable news, especially on busi- tl he aess matters.

A THE BENEFICIENT BURGLAR. nnual Business of $45,000,000 Depends Entirely on Him. "Give the burglar a term in the pen entiary or shoot him if you will, but >r conscience's sake don't reform im!" says Clifford Howard in Lipincott's. "We need him in our usiness. He is worth to us every ay of the year tenfold more than he rer costs us. "Look at the matter wholly from a industrial and economic point of iew, we can better do without the reacher than the burglar. Extermiate the burglar and 70,000 persons ould be out of work, and more than 45,000,000 a year withdrawn fjom ade. "There are alone no less than 25,00 good American citizens earning leir livelihood as private watchmen, t a combined salary of something ke $17,000,000 a year. And all beluse of the burglar. "More than $1,000,000 in capital invested in the manufacture of irglar alarms of different devices, id either directly or indirectly fully 000 law abiding family men are dejndent for their daily bread upon lis branch of industry. "And there are forty manufactures of safes?burglar proof safes? ith a combined capital of $6,000,)0, paying out each year for wages id material nearly $4,000,000, and ving support to no less than 4,000 orkers?mechanics, laborers, clerks >okkeepers, salesmen, and so on. "What would become of these men id women and all the millions of vested capital should the burglar " i-on vnir?#> of Moses and n^u w lit his stealing? "Then there are the makers and llers of firearms. Five hundred lousand guns a year are sold for mily use as a protection against lrglars, representing a gross revele of something like $3,500,000. 'ithout the burglar what would this isiness look like? Like the centre : a doughnut. "And those families that are afraid : pistols keep dogs, watchdogs, and ie trade in watchdogs amounts each jar to over a million dollars. Ail ie watchdogs of the United States J,500,000vof them) have to be fed ; least twice a day. At only 2 cents ir diem for bones and scraps for Lch dog the income to the butcher om this sourc^ alone, thanks be to Le burglar, amounts to $17,000,000 year. "Even our recreations and amuseents are dependent upon the burgr. What would our comedies and elodramas be without the burglar? nd the detective stories?what ould become of them and their auors and their publishers were the irglar no longer available as a lorartpr? The Dlays and the books which he figures have an annual mmercial value of nothing less than million dollars, and this without tempting to estimate the value of e pleasure afforded the public. "In short, we must have the burgr. We can't do without him. We ive had him so long that there is )body to take his place. And sup>se his helpings' do amount to a ifle over a million a year? What that compared with the $45,000,)0 he is sure of putting into our >ckets? Surely none but a skinnt will begrudge him this little 2 2 per cent, dividend on a business at owes its existence solely to his lergy and perseverance. Therefore t the burglar alone. He is all ght; and may his shadow never ow less." REQUISITION FOR PERRY, ither of Chester Victim Petitions Governor for Papers.
