He Can Endure All but the Questtoe e1 People Who Never Travel. A prominent Pittsburg passenger agent, in a conversation with a reporter of that city, gave a few interesting facts relative to the everyday experience of the average city passenger man, whicL those not directly connected with the business know nothing about. He said "It is a singular fact the number of people who visit our office daily and the curious questions they ask with regard to railroad rates, etc., when very often they have no notion whatever of leaving s the city and as a matter of fact have not traveled any worth mentioning. For six years there has been a very singular char actor who has made an annual visit to this office. I have no idea from whence he cometh or whither he goeth, but he always asks the selfsame questions and goes away apparently satisfied with the information he has received. I always expect him in the springtime, generally about the lit of April, when the sun's rays grow warmer. "Then my quaint old friend comes to see me. I should judge him to be at least 80 years of age. . He is stooped and feeble, with hair as white as snow, but well dressed, wears a silk hat and carries a cane and talks in a nervous, jerky manner. He invariably opens up with, 'What's the rate to Boston?' I tell him, and his eyes light up as he waddles out with always the same observation. 'Well by gum, that's oheapl cheapt' If theold man would tell his story, it might have a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has a son or daughter in the Hub City whom it has been his cherished hope to see for all these years, "The biggest out and out nuisance we have to deal with are persons who come here with no other intetii ithan to col let all the railroad literature they can. They have no notio of going away, but thay grab evesything In sight in the way of time tables and other information bearing on tourists' points in the north, east, south and west. They greedily gather pamphlets, circulars and book. lets treating on climate and resources. I don't know what these collectors de with the stuff they get here, but some of them must have a prize assortment. "Then the man who travel, from one end of the country to the other is the person who invariably pushes into the office and in a brusk manner asks for a time table of the line he Is about to take. It is given him, of course, and without so much as glancing at thq sohedule it is stuffed into his pocket and his next question is, 'When does m; first train leave?' It never seems to co cur to him to look on the time table. 8 it goes. Sometimes people ask me quei tions until I'm afraid the buttons wil drop off my coat, but after all we mat e age to get along with our patrons r g markably well."-Pittsburg Post, A Biblical Comuudrums. A good story is told of the horsy ams , of an English clergyman. He was on as important occasion to meet the "bishop o Lincoln at dinner, and as it was desir able that a favorable impression shoulN 3 be made on his lordship his father beg , god he would be favorable to the bishoT and do his best to draw him out, as hI was unusually strong in Biblical lore During the early part of the banquel matters went on well enough, the young man saying little, but watching for at opportunity to open his full batteries. At length a pause in the general conver sation took place, and while the com pany was all attention he thus addrese the bishop: "Might I venture to ask your bordshii a question relative to a point mentione -in the Old Testament which has pus~sledl me a good deal?" "Oh, certainly-quite happy," replied the dignitary, feeling quite in his ele ment. "Then I should be glad to have you. lordship's opinion as to how long it tooli Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition after ho had been out to grass?"--Bostou TneC samg of the Nettle. The leaf and stem of a nettle are lit. erally clothed with erect hollow hairs, If one of these hair. Is viewed under a microscope, it will be seen that its fres end, after tapering to a very Aine doere ~of slimness, finishes as a little knob, while in the other direction, after grad. ually becoming more robust, it udenl expands into a large bulb, corresponding with the poison gland of the adder. The point of the hair is very brittle, and contact with our skin causes the end to snap off, leaving a hollow needle poini which readily pierces our enticle, and I- pressing upon the bulb at the other'end " the poison is foroed through the central >i ohainnol and innfames our blood. Then tender handed who stroke the nettle are stung for their pains, because their gen, tieness has only served to break the brit. tie points and rendering them fit foi piercing, but the rough handed breal the hairs at their thickest parts, wher4 they are too stout to prick.-Good Words. -_____ "Boll Down" Everythingl The taste for short stories, in place of the ancient three volume novel, has beer cultivated even in conservative England and has become so widespread in thi United States that very few periodicali which deal in fiction at all are withoul their stories begun and finished in a sin glo Issue. The talent required to pro duce a fascinating and successful Acotio. in this narrow compass Is a peculiar one and while there are numerous failure there are also a surprising number o successes.

HATCuR, for Committee. Froma L"berty. April 2, 1894. Good Friday and Easter has passed, the former was beautiful, the latter was sad and foreboding, a fit day to precede such a destruc tive freeze, right in the midst of the loveliest May weather we ever witnessed in March. Mercury had been playing between 60 and 85, just before good Friday, when it started on its downward course and did not stay long en rout* un til it reached 18 above zero, only lacking a few degrees of being as low as at any time during the win. ter. Owing to the extreme spring like weather vegetation had advan cod considerably ahead of the sea son, consequently the freeze came near making a clean sweep. Indi. cations are that even the small berry crop was destroyed, as the briars were budding to bloom. The wheat and oat crops appear to be badly damaged. The farmers were getting in a great hurry tc plant, but the cold put a quietui on their ambition. J. H. Brown lost a fine oow las week. It seems the demand for fertili zers has exceeded the supply at thi point, and still cotton goes dowr the prospect is good for a crop o five cent cotton, so plant I plant! Just at day-break this morning J. D. Smith's barn was discoverec to be on fire, and was destroyed together with a quantity of fodder hay, &c. As some of the boya were feeding when the fire was di. covered they saved the mules and cattle and a few things from .un. der the shelters. No insurance, loss upwards of $500. To-day looka more spring like than for several days, but the wheat and oats are making very little show of improvement. The little war at Darlington seems to give those ranting heroes (Tillman haters) another oppor tunity to curse and rear, like there was -not two side. to the case, and all parties in fault, and thousands of lies told to boot. While they are censuring Tillman there is toms. fold more due some'of the papers in this State, as there is never smoke without fire, or thunder wishout lightning, for whilst Till man has tried to keep the fir. un. der conitroll these papers were be. hind the scene pouring on oil, by publishing insurrectionary arti. cles advocating a resistance of the laws of the State. We do not pro' tend that the law is perfect, but n< use to urge people to resist it, ai they are lie-able enough withoul being urged on. C. From the Easley Democrat of April 6. On last Monday Mr. E. 8. Grif fin while engaged in building shelter for his cattle, fell from thi top and received very painful inju ries, having two of his ribs and lef shoulder blade broken. Mr. John Grady, son of Mr. Hoen ry W. Grady, of Pickens, ha. gone to Wash ingtoni city to accept a po sition as conductor en a cable car The position having been securec through' the influenee of Benato Butler. Mr. William W. Phillips, bette known as Wig Phillips, died at hi residence, four miles below Easlis on the 28th of March, after a pr< tracted illness, cauised from a car eer on the face and neck. Mr Phi ips was a good substantial citisei ,and he will be missed by the con -munity.

He is not seriously wounded and is now at the house ot Colonold Woodham, ox Confederate soldier and Tilhman ite, living at Stokes' Bridge. A war rant has been issued for him and and two deputies, C. W. Milling and J. C. Baokwell sont to servo it mounted on fast horses. They were instructed to procod hastily and failing to got the man return with speed. Information brought in early in the afternoon by Dr. Wallace, a resident of Stokos' bridge, a Tillmanite, but said he deemed ithis duty to tell where Me London was, as he had escapod from jail charged with a serious crimo. Ho told Mayor Dargan that Colonel Woodham had the assist ance of a large number of Till I an ites who promised in case tho ]) r lington people should attempt to take McLendon away that they would be led by Col.Woodham and had arms and ammunition. The Mayor told Dr. Wallace he wanted friends and foes to know he had no desire for anything but justice in demanding the apprehension that justice must be accorded. At the suggestion of Dr. Wallace he sent his views in writing to show to the people to prevent a clash. His statement is as follows: "To all our friends in this County and in any other that represent the people of Darlington, I most oar neatly request that no violence bo done to any constable, and most especially to wounded Constable McLendon. "W. F. DARGAN, Mayor.', This Wallace took with him to exhibit to the conservatives and Tillmanites and was asked to coun L al people to refrain from any do. monstration in behalf of the Dar lington people. s Matters were in process of ad justment and the mayor hopod t( f see peaceful consummation o trouble. The deputies carryinp the warrant left town quietly witl their mission unsuspected. Only a few of mayor Dargain's friendi and two or three newspaper men knew of it. General Richbourg was not in. formed, and was not to be, unless McLendon's friends refused to give him up, when Dargan would ask for military help. He will request that a Tillman company of muilitai ry be sent to enforce the lawv, which the Tilimanites are breaking. This will throw all responsibility on the governor and his frien. Dargan promised, through depu ties that McLendon would ho pr~o tooted if put in jail hero and that they might accompany prisoner here if they chose. The deputies had twenty miles to go to Stokes> bridge, and having loft at half past fotar this afternoon, aro hardly ex pected before midnight. It begins to look as though ta-morrow wvould bring some complication. COLUMBIA, 8. 0., April 3 -For the first time since the troubles began Governor Tillman rode through the streets of Columbia to-day and went to tho execu tive office at the State house On his arrival there, standing with bared head on the northorn porticqo of the building, ho ad dressed 400 troops and voluntoor citizens. TIhe speech was re ceived with tumultuous cheor ing by the men The troops all left the city to-day on regular trains, transportation bomng provided at State expenses. Ton minutes before noon the guards were moved from the telegraph offices and their annoying es poenage ceased. This gave the city the first realization that peace was returning and every body breathed more freely. A e few mimutes later the gover nor's carriago containing a dri rvor and Bill Roes, the colore< s confederate veteran, wao is jan'i ,~ tor.of the governor's office, wa -passiti the State dispensary i: -Main street. Something like th - crack of a pistol was heard. I, a, stantaneously, the rumor spree - that a shot had been lire throtagh the back of the govo nor's carriage. The carria ar in the mea~tkaie, came rattlini ~p Ut*6~dit at a rapid pac which increased the alarm . ni was soon discovered thai th sound was nerely-the explosion - of a torpedo on the city railwar track, which the carriage wheels had passed over. W. C. Folk, chairman of the locul board of coftroll is organ. izing a Tillmanite military corn Pany. It is said that thirty-five men will join it. Mayor Walter Fisher, of Colum bia, when asked about the pro- 2 ('hlmnation later thin evenin', '4tate~d that he had referred it to ; the city attorney, who would ad vise him to-morrow. Chief of Polico Radclifle declares that lie will regard only the mayor's authority until othorwiso in structed by that official. It is noteworthy that there has been so little friction between troops quartered here and the people t ho city. The troops, and particulary the country recruits, camoi here in anything but a gon tle mood and ready to fight at the drop of a hat. They re anined however, at their quar ters most of the time and wore rarely seen in the business Streots. FLORENCE I EXCITED. The Nen Who Took the Armory Guns Arrested. FLORENCE, S. C., April 4.-The citizens of Florence havo been greatly startled by the annouce ment that the men who took the guns from the armory hero Fri day last and participated in the pursuit of the constables would bo arrested by the militia. There was a disposition, at first, to re sist but the mild methods adopt ted by the officers induced the men to acquiesce in the action taken. The men who took the guns were summoned to the. courthouse where Colonel N. Ct Evans, commanding in the ab .senco of General Farley, had established his headquarters. They assembled there about 10 a. in. and conferred with Colonel Evans and Major Joseph Wardlaw; they were asked for their names and a roll was made. l'ho roll was then read with the request that those who had en tored the armory and taken guns would respond as their nmios were called. The following five men re Isponded: E. F. Douglas, T. E. \Wallace, J. IV. Hammond, J. E Penidergast anfd E. P. l'owloy, all of whom are merchants. Colonel Evans then madeo a short address. Hio saidl that martial lawv was in force and that he was order (d to arrest those gentlemen un - er it. As it was not desired to interfere with their business he wvould place thomn on parolo not to leave the city limits andic re quire them to rep~ort to Major Wardlaw every mor-ning at 10 a. m. The citizens held a consulta tion with their lawyer and no ateps have yet been takenm to ol. pose the action of thme officers. It is possible, however, that habeas corpus pr-ocoedings may be begun before Chief Justice McIver. This will largely depend, how over, upon the action of the of. ficers and the manner in which the arrested men are treated. Trents for the militia have ar rived, but there is as yet no dis position to pitch them. The In dications are that the force may be withdrawvn before the end of the week and probably sooner. General Farley has gone over to0 Bishopville and it is thought that his visit may have some connection with the action of the Bishopville iflos in going., to Darlington when ordered and turning straight aro.und,and go ing home.
