TUM SXKANOU IIXI'KIIIKNOK OF AN AUGUSTA P?ljIOKMAN - Tried to Pick Up a Negro and HU Arm and legs Came Off. The Augusta Herald relates thia strange story A drunken negro who know just about enough of what was transpiring IP tho world about him to say that his nam? waa Levi Johnson and tb at ho wa? from tho north was brought into polloe barraoks Wednes day night by Patrolman Brown. Ho was tried Thursday morning on the ohaige of violating section 400th and waa glvon a line of 82 60 or 2 days and sentence wai suspended on the condi tion that he leaves the city within six hours. Thostf who saw the quiet and lnof feublvo looking negro Thursday morn ing aud tho robust policeman who pil oted bim to polios barraoks Woduos day night little tbought of their furor that tboy oreatod in polloo headquar ters a few minutes after ll o'clock Wednesday night. Sergeant Buchan an related the affair Thursday morn* lng and stated that lt all oommonoed just as Patrolman Brown was coming into tho barracks with his prisoner. It seem, a that Levi was not very troublesome despite the fact that he way very drunk and could walk al* though ho could not walk vor> cog nently. As the alley way loading to the roar of the barracks was reached by the oflloor and his prisoner John son foll to the ground stumbling over a loose brlok that was lying in his pathway. Of oourso, Patrolman Brown ls al ways ready td give a person in distress a "lift" and took Johnson by one of his arms, when to the great horror of the policeman that member came oil very readily and Mr. Brown found himself standing erect with an arm in his hand and the owner lying several feet away. Although jus*; a little blt unnervod Mr. Brown still kopt a cool head and mustered up enough courage to gl?e the man another "lift." As the other arm was lying under the prostrate form of a negro, the othcor thought that ho had beat try another method. This time he sol/.od ono of the negroo's logs and with a violons pull the police man, confident of his suecos in rais ing tho negro to his foot tore of this member. Oold shivers traversed the region of tho cop's baokbono, his helmet bo gan to sudoonly go upwards, hil face resembled a snowy white' counterpane and ?t-l? t'r'Atti .H&vt??t&f?tiitii! ;> with the seoond dlsengagod^niomber of the negro's auatomy clinging to hi? hands and the remaining portion on the lloor said with agonizing appeal: ''PJoaso help me." Brown is a courageous otiloer and bab the oonlldenoe of every membor of tho force in this respeot. He wanted to get relief yet ho waB ashamed and resolved to make ona moro effort. Throwing the limbs, whloh ho had torn looss, upon tho ground ho solzed the remaining log and gave another vicious pull, lt ls relatod that ho landed about twenty foot away, with still another portion of the negro's anatomy lu his h. mis, this time fall ing to tho ground baokwards. His hands went Into his pocket, he trok the distross whistle from lt and blew as no mortal puliuoruau ever blow before Half dressed ooppors came running from their bods and the station guards made a dash for tho outs.de of tho barraoks but before anyone rcachod there, lt ls stated Brown was nono. The neuro with the several portions of his body soattored upon the ground pleaded to Lieutenant Hopkins, who had by this time arrivod: "Please help me." Brown came baok after a time, the men went to sloop also af tor a time. When lt was revealed that the negro was a well-known oripplo, possesing two oorks legs and ?. cork arm, all of whloh had yioldod to Brown's pulls, but lt will bo a long time indeed be fore the equilibrium of Patrolman Brown is restored. 11IK'> I'rlotul Corn.

The young lady was brought baok from Oharlotte where she was tfouui registered under an assumed name, and ls now at her home in Greenville. Dempster was found at the same ho tel that the young lady was stopplDg at in Charlotte. The case has oreated groat excitement in Greenville on ac count of tho prominence of tho girl's family oonncotlons. Sho ls a grand niece of former United Statlu Senator Matt. C. Butler. Dempster, accompanied by his at torney, F. M.

Abduction, under the South Condina luw, is a statutory of fense and punishable by three years' imprisonment. Tho Spartanburg Journal says J. M.

' Como to Oharlotte on next train. Jaok in trouble-" No reply was re oeived, nor did Mr. Barron appear on the ii rut train. De had evidontly gotten wind of what was happeuing ano discreetly decided to stay away. Mr. Dempster, against whom the j charge ls for seduction, as well as abduction, was born and reared in Morning Star township. He is well known in Spartanburg as ls also G. H. Barron. The case has oaused a great sensation lu Spartanburg as well as at Greenville. Bought Inf omit?. Mftotitno. J. A.

When the House met Friday night Mr. Harley moved to strike out the enacting words of the resolution. Mr. Dixon favored tho resolution in a very vigorous speech. Mr. Harley Bald that when he was eleoted to the House he. considered lt an honor, but ho took this resolution to Indloato that to be a member was adlBhonor. He'had nover spoken to curry favor with his homo people or any other section. He was not an at torney for any railroad and did not bave a pass, but he objected to any such resolution, whloh seemed to queition tho honesty and integrity of tho members. If tho lawyers who represent railroads acoopt passes it is a business proposition. By this reso lution the lawyers are exempt,*,.but tho oharaoter and integrity of the others are questioned. It is a orlml nal offenoo to accept a piss while a legislator, and this .resolution plaooa tho mombers under BUBplolon ot being orlmlnals. Mr. Yorner said he disagreed with Mr. Harley. If any one thinks any one has a pass the best way ls to lind lt out. He had been on the railway committee for six years and in that Mme had voted for only two railroad bills, but if any ono thought he had a pass ho wanted them to And out the truth. Mr. Hemphill said ho oopupled a pe? aullar position, ne had in the past represented tho Southern Ballway, but he belonged to the State of South Qarolina and not to tho railroad, and lie had tried to be honest. This reso lution Impugns tho honesty of every member. Ho thought the roll should be called and. lot every man answer whether he was guilty or not. Ho didn't plve a continental damn, so far is he was concerned, but be had a con tempt for the little nincompoops who think men with more brains than they have oan bo bought. Ho had never concealed his oonneotlon with tho Southern railway, but he had boen fair and honest on every ques tion. Mr. Oareon, the author of the reso lution, said ho had no ill fooling against any one in introduoing the resolution. There was talk ot graft. On all sides you hear of graft In this oilloe and that chico. It is against the law tor legislators to ride on pauses. He had nothing to say against any railroad lawyer who received a pass as part of his pay. He aocorded him honesty, but the man not em ployed by a railroad, whether lawyer, merohant, or anything else, was not honest If he redo on a pass. He had ?ot expeoted tho resolution to be dis cussed. Thero was no use to dlsouss lt. Mr. NioholB said: "Mr. Carson, have you any Information on which to base this resolution?" Mr. Carson; "No, slr; T have been thinking about this for several years'. I want to see if all the graft is In the State dispensary; that there ls so much talk about," . Mr. NioholB:,. "Don't you think lt any man lu bought with a pass ho will lie about it?" Mr. Carson: "No, slr; I wouldn't do lt, and I don't believe you would do it?" A voto waa then oalledl for whioh resulted in tho adoption of tho resolu tion by a vote of 08 ayes .to. 2o nays.
