MrE belt ofite autumn girl is
a fashionable monsirosity. It
is the most conspicuous arti
(, c!e of her raiment, says the
New York World. English women are
proue to belts, and Americans are An
-glomaniacs by nature. therefore they
;ire following the fashion with a vim set
by their sisters across the water.. The
03g stores are exhibiting many new
ntr(d very striking designs in belts. The
i-;genuity and originality is surpris
inz, and one wonders what next may
eize the feminine fancy and deplete
o feminine purse.
Some of the most elegant belts in
ality are made of firmly woven silk
astic, the surface bein of satin tin

They can be had in colors and
are fastened by elongated clasps and

more necessary now than ever before,
for basques are an obsolete fashion,~

agree on the one point, that belts tend
to make a stout women less emphati

HIT IN MILLINERT.
The Napoleonic craze is about ended
and the Dutch bonnet is a thing of!
the past. 'Ihe majority will be glad
of this, for it was only the small mi
nority who could becomingly wear
either. The principal tendency of
the new hats is toward higher crowns,
and they vary in outline, to be desig
niated as th~ ' Pierrot," "jampot' and
" pottle" crowns. The first is point
.ed, the second flares, and the third
wideus from the crown to the brim.
The low crown and flat brim of the
samimer shape will not be entirely
abandoned either.
Many of the ne w shapes show crowns
of silk plush, with brims of braidel
effects or of feli, and in the new im
ported walking hats are seen "pottle"
crawus and wide, rolling brina male
cutirely of the silk plash, with a se
ve.re trim-ning of a tiat crown-band,
with loops and quills at the leit sile.
Amous bonuets, the shapes se -:n to

IMANUEL WILLIAMS KILLED.
()Itawed by Several States and Sup
posed Mtirderer.
'ie notorious outlaw, Enianuel Il.
mjs, -was killed at Sciver:d Saturday
i. ight by Mr. Oscar Meyer, a condul
or and Souihern Express' messenger
on the Carolina Midland Railrord.
Mever and Williams had had some
trouble so-me two or three weeks since
at Scivern, and Meyer had been advis
ed by numerous friends to be on the
alert, lust Wiliams would take an ad
V-ae Senie timc and kill him in the
M-yVr. Who runs regularly as cou
dut,r on thE Carolina Midland Rail
Ioad,. recvived a dispatch at Wagener
ja:t eht reading thus: "Be on the
okout; suiething wrong in town."
i put him on his guard, when ho
went into Seivern he first asked tb
agent and afterwards Engineer Goodw
win to walk with him to his boarding
house. Goodwin agreed to d it, and
vhen they had come i about iwo steps
of his house door Mover sa* A mari
rise out of the bushes to his left with
his 'eft hand in his bosom as if grip
pHlg a weapon.
M-ver tired and the shot took effect
n the left side about bne-half.Jach
rom a liue with the nipple aild t*d
.ncbes to the right of it. The ball
1Sued through the heart and lung and
ress ed against the skin on the back
lde. Acting Coroner G. Jones Baltz
year held the inquest today, and the
jury, with Mr. Emanuel Busbee as
foremanm, br:,ight in a verdict that
"Emanuel Williams came to his death
from a gunshot wound in the hands of
scar Meyer, and that the said Oscar
Mver's life was in imminent danger
at the time.'
eyer has nimerous friends, and
everybody -eems to think that the ver
dict was perfectly righteous and en
tirelv consistent with the fact .
It will be remembered that Williams
is the nmin wbc, for all intents and
purposes, has been outlawed by sever
al States. He is the man who is sup
posed to have killed MitchellPoole, of
this conty, about two years ago.
After his trial for this he was carried
to Alabama to ansver for crimes he
was suppo sed to have committed, and
put out on bail there. His bond.men
proved that he was drowned in the
a"labama river and the bonds were sat
isti"d.
Froin that time he was successively
in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Flo-iLa, tilI Jat.ary, 1895, when he
\vws brouLght baCk to South Carolina
on SusI!ioa thit he was the murderer
of Conuty Treasurer Copes,
Under this charge be was lodged in
the Peniteutiarv and retained there
till some time in April last. Williams'
career hnts beNn a notorious one of
crime and depredation.
Oscar Meyer is n young nian,honest,
fn:all, in.1-istriouns and strictly atten
tiv to his own .business, of a quiet
dispw-ition and perfectly calm and
(oniera-ttv. Ie stands very high in

WEEKLY TOBACCO RE.VIEW.
The Danville, Va., Register tobacco
review for the past week is as fol
lows:
There was right much animation on
the loose leaf tobacco market during
the week ending Saturday. Double
sales lasted up to the dinner hour dur
ing each day.
Most of the tobacco sold were bright
goods and came from North and South
Carolina.
There was a sprinkling of tobacco
from the country around Danville,
and consisted principally of bright
goods.
Prices on all grades were well up
and are high. while the market shows
no signs of weakening.
The farmers who brought tobacco
to Danville last week, were well satis
fled with the prices obtained.
The con tinned dry, harsh weather,
keeps the farmer from handling his
tobacco in the barns, and no large
breaks are looked for until there shall
b)e a good season for handling the
leaf.
Manufacturers had a tolerably fair
week, the aggregate shipment of plug
and twist amounting to 115,549
poundcs.
.The daily sales of revenue stamps
were a;3 follows:
Monday.................1S,690 35

While Mr. 'Moseley ha: annecessarily

cotton and late root crops sustained
the greatest injury; pastures became
brown and bare; streams ran very low,

The drought was most severe in th.

One of the most prolifle sources of annoy
aee tca th'e g.'orxnent. sinc- the opening of
the exposit.i:;. has been the enormous
qunartity or 1,stai cards, purporting to be.
soven;irs ofih,!h expo ition, wiich have daily
fIf'o-edl th'. cutgoing mails.
anni pris4 who .have4O written on these
I..:.stal oards h:e wowin-ered why no answers
have boe!i r''i ed from th"-m. The ex
planltiOU is.,h:le enough: rvost of them
hve failtus t. rc-a,h their dixtination.
Tho,4kandk of thesv postal cards have been
suhd' '6 the exposition grounds and else
where. . Thev are beautiful specimens of
a!rtis- 4ork and.each is embellished with a
one of the exposition buildings.
T6 a rance of the card is similar to that
of an ordinary postal and ignorant parties
are very easily misled by the supposition
that a single one-cent will carry the postalto
the proper destination.
"The cards have wrought a great deal of
mischief." said one of the officials. "and
every nail that goes out adds fresh coimpli
etions. it is true a common ordinary postal
<:arl only cosls one eent. but that does not
give any one the iglit to pIt a one-cent
stamp on : (y kind of pasteb-oard and call it
a .ta rd. T1..e governme.nt claims the
oi: righ :o ::mu11fneta re postaL.cards and
this privib-;.:e is accorded to no one else. If
a tWvo-"'t ,'tamplis put on the souvenir
cards theyv will go all right, but a one-cent
stamin not~ enough to caurry them.-'
The cards rr perfectly good as souvenirs
nd verv 4)rnano4nta%l. but in order to be
isedl hy lett.-r w r:ers I hey must bear a two
"ient stam p and ce trea'ed as any other ordi
