I. Y. Johnson Meets His Brother.
Theidlew,ing item is from the State
of Mlkay. One of the brothers is I.
~Johnson, who was convicted at
ewherry last week, and sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary. The
meeting of a near relative is some
recompense for the service:
* "One of the most remarkable inci
dents that has recently been recorded,
occurred at the Sonth Carolina peni
tentiary on Sunday last. Two broth
ers, who were separated by the fortunes
of the recent civil wvar, and had never-1
seen or heard of each other since, met
~ ----in the prison chapel. Both were con
victs by chance in the same priaon, one
having been confined for about five
months and tbe other only for a brief
time. Their name is Johnson, and
they are each about forty years of age.1
They met in the chapel and from cer
tain remjarks axmutual recognition took
place. Tbose who witnessed it say the
scene was of a most affecting nature."

The Court.
Judge WVitherspoou returned to New
berry on last Friday night. The Court
of Common Pleas was opened on Mon
day. Most of the day was taken up in
calling the docket and continuing
cases. Only one case was tried, and in
that the judge instructed the jury what
verdict to bring in. The jury returned
on Tuesday, but nothing was ready for
trial, and they were discharged until
this (Thursday) morning, when they
are required to be on hand. The proba
bility is nothing will be ready again.
The court so far has done actually
nothing. The judge will remain next
week we presume.
Gen. Y. J. Pope, who is engaged in a
number of cases, was present all Mon
day, but owing to arduous duties de
volving upon him as Attorney General
since he assumed the office, he has been
unable to be at home but very little of
his time, and in consequence was un
able to go into the trial of any of the
cases in which he was interested, and
he so stated to the court. He said
never since 1876 had,so many duties
and so much work devolved upon an
Attorney General. He returned to
Columbia on Tuesday morning.
It seems to us that at a time like this
when the farmers are so far behind
with their work, that if cases are not
ready for trial they should be con
tinued, and the jury should not be kept
here unless there was something for
them to do.

Electric Lights and Water Works.
The citizens' meeting on last Thurs
day afternoon, to consider the report of
Council on water works and electric
lights, was held in the Courthouse and
very well attended.
The report of Council was read. (It
is published in full on first page.) On
motion of W. H. Wallace, the report
was received as information. No one
seemed to have anything to say and
Geo. B. Cromer moved to adjourn, but
the motion was voted down.
Dr. W. E. Pelham spoke in favor of
the town adopting water works and
electric lights, and at the conclusion of
his remarks moved that the Council
be instructed to invite bids and report
to an adjourned meeting. This was
adopted.
Mr. L. N. Cox, of Washington, and
Mr. WV. H. Gibbes, Jr., of Columbia,
who were present were granted the
privileges of the floor. Both these
entlemen responded briefly. Thd
:eeting then adjourned.
At the next meeting when bids have
een received there will be something
efinite upon which action can be
ased.
We will get there by and bye.

was on his way from Augusta, where

talist who is to be interested in placing
this new invention on the market.
The inventor of this new device is
Mr. WV. H. Harris, of Newberry, who
has proven that he is possessed of great
genius, by this splendid product of his
brain. Experts in mechanical arts in
various parts of the country who have
examined the new couple declare that
it excels the "Janney" or, in fact, any
other that has yet been invented.
Mr. Holmes will have three or more
cars fitted up with the Harris coupier,
and will exibit its practical workings to

their annual meeting, which will take
place at Cape May, N. J., during the

OCFL PRIOSPERITY LETTE1:.

series of services in Grace church every
night this week except Saturday night.
Iev. J R. Edwards, of Due West,
prenced two instructive and edifying
sermons, morning and evening, in the
A. R. P. church.
On last Sunday, (Palmn Sunday an
affecting scene occurred m Grace
church, when thirteen young persons
presented themselves at the altar. and
were received into full communion, b3

young lady was received by transfer,
making fourteen accessions on Palm
Sunday. Rev. Keister is doing a glo
rious work for the Lord.
A lot of cotton stored in the Alliance
warehouse by different parties, when
they could have realized i.} cents, is
being sold at 71. This only shows how
little we know of the future price of
anything, especially cotton. The price
of cotton in the main is regulated by
supply and demand.
With a surplus of 2,5I0,O) bales of
cotton to be carried to the next crop,
the outlook for fair prices is not flat
tering.
On last Sunday evening at Provi
dence (colored) church, two colored
men, Tom Sheely and Sim Bates, be
came involved in a "playful" diftietilty,
when Sheeley drew his knife and first
stabbed Bates in the arm; Bates agamn
advanced still "playing," when Sheely
inflicted a fearful looking wound, be
ginning near the left ear and across the
throat and windpipe, and extending
several inches down the breastbone,
laying the bone open to view. Whis
key seems to have been the c tuse of the
unfortunate affair.
Last night a meeting of citizens was
held to consider the question of "tax
or no tax" upon personal and real
property in town to help bear the bur
dens of the town. After some warm
remarks pro and con, the question was
put to the house, and resulted in 17
votes in favor of taxation and 8 against.
The probabilities are that there will be
two tickets placed before the people and
we will have a jolly good time, and no
body will get mad, because that would
be a sure sign of weak citizenship, and
nobody likes to be weak-kneed you
know.

ever, spent just enough time there to

at the present prices will never keep
the farmers out of debt. Our farmers
should plant less cotton and raise more

Fire at Ninety-six.
NINETY-SIX, March' 23.-On Sun
day morning about I o'clock the
town was alarmed by the cry of fire,
which originated in the store of Dr. H.
M. Julian. The cause of the fire is un
known. h-ad it not been a damp
night, and for the direction of the
wind, the south side of our little town
would have been burned. As it was
one house and a cabin were destroyed.
Dr. Julian sustained a loss of about
five or six hundred dollars. He only
had $.500 insurance. The house could
not be replaced for $1,.500, and it was
paying 10 per cent interest on that
amount. The insurance agents of the
town are doing a good business while
the fire is fresh in the metnory of the
people.
KILLED ON THE TRACK.
A Leading Mefrchant of Florence shocking
ly Mangled by a Train.
(Special to the News and Courier.]
FLORENCE, March 2.3.--Hector Mc
Sween, a leading nmerchant of Florence,
[was run over by a work train on the
Northeastern Railroad to-day. He
had gone down on the nmorning train
toEffingham to buy cotton and was
walking on the side of the track from
one house to another. The train was
coming behind him, but he was deaf
and could not hear it. He stepped on
the track immediately in front of the
train, was knocked down and the
whole train passed over him before it
could be stopped. His body was man
gled beyond recognition.
The engine was sent up to Florence
for the coroner, and parties to identify
the body. The only way the body
could be identified was by the clothes
and watch. The body was brought to
Florence for the inquest. A commit
tee of the Knights of Pythias took
charge of the arrangement for the fun
eral. The verdict of the jury was death
by accident. Mr. McSween was one of
the most popular business men of the,
city, a Scotchman by birth, and had
been a resident here about ten years.
He was middle-aged, anid leaves a wife
and child.

TEACHERS' COLUMN.
- An Object Lesson.
One day last week a teacher in a cer
tain school of the county, while hear
ing a recitation from one of the little
ones, found that the little fellow was
slow to pronounce the words. In order
to help him the teacher would name
objects in the school room, and have
the pupil spell and pronounce them.
This method was working very well
bntil the word "gold" was given out.
The little fellow spelled it correctly,
but did not pronounce it readily. The
teacher held up his watch chain and
asked: What is this made of ? "Brass;~
was the quick response.
Moral.-Don't use your jewelry in
teaching your pupils.

at the office of the School Commis.
sioner on Monday, 23d. It was decided

Over the slaughter of 350 Suits, for
merly sold at $15, $16.50, $18, $22.50 and
$25, at this season of the year. I am
determined to reduce'my winter stock .
at a sacrifice. I have placed these
garments, giving you a good line .to
select from, for $10 in cash. This is the
greatest offer ever made by any one,
showing I mean to dispeLse of the
goods if the price will move them.
These garments are strictly first-cass
in every particular. Nothing like it
has ever been attempted before. The
public has been misled by such sales,
but my offer is genuine and no hum
bug, and if you doubt it all I ask isa
inspection of these goods, or you miy
write to some of your friends in the
city for information of this great sale. .
Only $10 per Suit! You will regret it
if you do not secure one of Jhna
gains.
