Among ita most striking provisions ~ is its strict prohibition of duelling. Every State officer is compelled to take the following oath : 'I swear that I nave not while a v~. j?tizeaof this State, since the 1st day of May, 1882, fought a duel with a deadly weapon or seDt or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with a deadly weapon, either within or beyond the boundaries of this State, or know - - ingiy conveyed such challenge or raided or assisted in any manner in fighting such duel ; and that I will not fight a dne? with a deadly weapon / or"send or accept a challenge to fight a duel with a deadly weapon, either within or beyond the boundaries of tais State, or knowingly convey such challenge or aid or assist in any man? ner in-fighting such duel, during my continuance in office.

DE?TER,May ll.-Sporting circles i??dt J)enver were more than usually ex? perted over a big play against a faro bank made early in the "morning by % Charges Pierson^ a Well-known" sport t;i>ind three-fifths- owner of the Arcade gambling hali,? which at the end of about three hours' run, reduced him to ^ that condition which often overtakes p those who monkey with the tiger. ' Pierson walked into his place about 2 o'clock in the morning and, to pass % away the time, concluded to 'chance'** few dollars on the game. He lost, and . reaching for his inside pocket, he pro si; 'y: doced a roll pf bills. A ?K>0 bill soon vanished. Another disappeared, then a third, fourth and fifth were es cb ac ged for reds and blues, which foand their way back into the rack without netting the player a dollar. .Oat of luck, by Heavens V exclaim? ed Pierson as he produced a big fat pocketbook. 'Give me a thousand dol? lars worth of chips/ and* he placed two $500 bills on the 'layout.' Blues were banded out and the deal went bn. Scarcely a bet was won by Pierson and hts thousand dollars were gone and he was stuck, as gamblers' parlance run He must 'win out* at any cost, and :$2",000 in chips were soon piled vp before him, but they dwindled away rapidly, the player scarcely picking up a bet. A few deals were made and "betting ran high. 'Yellows' at $25 apiece had taken the place of 'reds and .Waes.'

Pier? son's bad luck came back to him with! renewed force, and inside of twenty minutes ho had lost altogether $30..GOO in cash. He arose from the table, drew his check for all he had in bank, and began hts attack on the tiger agata. He lost rapidly, and then put up his interest in the house, receiving therefor ' 'checks* to the market value of his in- j terest. That went the way of the ? others, and the only thing he had left j was a valuable ranch not far from the j city. This he put up, his partners | accepting it at good figures. Fortune j still frowned upon the unlucky man, ? and when he arose a few moments afterwards from the table that had been j his ruin he was worse off by .*> 150,000."] This is the heaviest playing ever j dene in this part of thc Rocky Moan tains. In the early days of Virginia j City, Nev., fortunes were lest and won j in a day, but iu this part of the country j a few thousands lost at faro would he j considered great playing.

In Qui,Vive's communication to the Watchman-and Southron of last issue, he requests an explanation of certain affairs pertaining to the schools rn his section. You are right, Mr. Qui Vive. If you desire infor? mation with respect to these matters, askjor it. I am always ready and wilting to give with pleasure any in f formation relative to the schools of the County. You know that since the days of Radicalism the school districts have been financially, until quite recently, one year behind ; and, consequently, the apportionment sent out to a school district is not cash on hand but is the amount which the Trustees may disburse in the supervision of the schools of their district. Spring Hill Township is one of the few un? fortunate townships which has not gotten out of debt; hence,- teachers have boen necessitated either to dis pose of their checks at a discount, or hold them until the taxes are collect? ed in the Fall. You desire to know why some teachers are paid and some are not. At the beginning of the present fiscal year which begins the first day of November, the indebted? ness of School District No. 9, which is Spring Hill Township, was $527. 04. The amount of school funds re? ported by the Treasurer, up io the !5th day of January, is $625.66 ; hence, after satisfying the indebted* ness, there remained a cash balance of $98.62 to the credit of Spring Hill Township. . This amount has been paid out as the checks were present? ed to me. - In December, 1 approved checks for the following persons : H. A. Johnson, $20; Miss Lizzie Jen? nings, ?25 ; Mrs. C V. Spann, $25 ; Miss Leland Hudsen, $25. Since December, I have approved two checks, one to Mrs. Ives for $12, and the other to Miss Allen for ?7.50. You see, therefore, that you have been laboring under some misappre? hensions in regard to these matters. With reference to the examinations of teachers and the questions, I will state briefly that the questions are prepared by the State Superintendent of Education Qui Vive calls them 'catches.' Did he see the last seU?f ! questions? They were elementary, simple and practical, and an appli? cant who could not make 50 per cent of them in an examination would not be likely to impart much instruc? tion to pupils. There must be some standard of testing the qualification of teachers, and thereby exclude the incompetent, which the examination does when properly conducted. Murder WiH Out From the Pee-Dee Index, The readers of the Index will re? member seeing in its columns, in the issue of May 4,1887, an account of the conviction cf Jesse Davis, a former resident of this (Marion) county, and better knowu here as Buck Davis, in Georgia of bigamy, and the charge of having murdered the wife Le had mar? ried in Marion County, llecent devel? opments make the case one oi^renewed interest, and no doubt the republication of the story with these recent discov? eries will interest many people in the County. Thirty years ago or more Jes*e Davis married a Miss Martha Jane" Page in the Bear Swamp section in this County She owned a tract of land, eighty-five acres, in her own right upon which they lived until 1879 or 1880. It seems that Davis could not be satisfied with the possession and income from this property, bat as the beginning of a career of crime planned to defraud his wife of all she had. ' He forced her to make a deed of her land to a man ia Horry named Morris, and in exchange Morris gave to Davis, ic his name, deeds for property in the latter County. This land Davis sold in 1883, and de- 1 serti.ng his wife went to Georgia, and j there married a Miss Mary E. Grace. Until February, 1S87, his wife was in ig&?racce of his whereabouts, and her first information was received from one who pretended to be sent by Davis to j look after his interest in the estate of ] his father, who had recently died near Goldsboro, N. C. This rna^ stated that Davis wished his wife tc go to him tn Georgia, and persuaded her to try and rai:>e some money so thst she might return with him. Mrs. Davis failed to raise the monev and could not ?0. In March following, however, Davis him? self returned tc Marion County and re? conciled the wife whom he had so long deserted. He was forgiven and receiv? ed once mort; rs to the eec Spence of the faithful and constant woman, in thc meantime, by process of law, she had recovered her property, though Morris, I the man in Hurry, had lost his. Davis 1 had been charged with the murder cf a ! boy whose hedy had been found about the time he ran away, and this Horry man was seeking to have him arrested : for the crime, bat by the aid cf this faithful vr om an his presence in the County was so well concealed that few persons kn? -.7 of it, thus fo I ? : r? rr the vengeance of him iu Horry. Ile per I suaced his wife to go wi-ii bim to Geor ? gin, a'jd eonaing down to Marion with i him she succeeded tn raisin2some money ! on her pre; vAy v?iih which to py the expenses of travel. Hir household goods he shipped to Marj E Davis, the name of the Georgia, wile, claiming that j that w;:s a!! coming to him from his j father's estate. V^hife he was ?-cre a rda ? tire or tae .-:en?-n wno, named I ?gc, j who lives near hitit ir: Georgi:;, spread lu i the Community the fact th tl D"?is hs-.t a wife iii Sent?t Carolina.! i?*achin<* Lumber City. Ga , en\M*reh 9:h, I and the first wife left the train and walked tw?nfy-fbree miles to rb s house of a negro near the home of hi> Georgia wife's father. Leavin:,' her at thc negro's he went to ?he house cf the second wife's father, who co'Lfror?tt : him with the story told by ?h? reia?ve of tho first wife. NextcTa v.,..March. 19. he was seen in the wr;ods with a setal' woman dressed in biuck, wb? had u lar^e goitre on her threji. 'i'his iden? tifies thc wife camed ?:<>.:) this Slate; On March ll again lie was seen v.vh the sante woman. The day was rr.ir.y and he hod with him an sm brella, which he was seen to take from the home cf the second wife 'bat morning fie re? turned home no more until next morn? ing, March 12, about daylight, and thc Utile woman in black, with goitre ba her neck, has never since been seen; The community was aroused and Davis was? indicted for bigamy and murder, and on the first indictment he was tried, L-L? convicted and sent to Atlanta to serve four years in the penitentiary. While be had beyond doubt killed bis first wife, the body could not be found and her death could not be proved. The whole community engaged in a three weeks' search, but nothing could be found. So ma?ters stood until August, last, when the umbrella carried by Davis on the day of disappearance was found with nnmistakable stains of blood upon it. This caused another search, but without success. The whole matter since the finding of the umbrella in August has been quiet, without an occurrence to fasten j the crime of murder upon Davis uutil Sunday, the 6th, inst. A letter from the father of the secocd Mrs Davis re? ceived here on Saturday last says that 'the whejsl of time has revealed the facts of the murder of Mrs. Davis to the satisfaction of everybody here.' The letter states that the remains of a human body, which bad been burned in the woods uear the place where Davis's umbrella was found last August, have been discovered. Pieces of bones teeth, hairpins, breastpins, dress buttons and several small folds of dress goods which must have lain under the body, were found, and the measure from the skull to the ?hoe ?ails and tacks was five feet, or just about Mrs. Davis* height. There can be no doubt that these arc the remains of a woman, and hardly any that they are those of Mrs. Davis. Her pin may probably be identtSed, and there is no other woman missing in that vicinity. It is remembered that just after her disappearance the weather was extreme ! ly dry and forest fires raged throughout that section. It is clear that Davis saw the opportunity to destroy without suspicion every trace of his crime by completely destroying the body. .Fires burned every side, and the fire for burn? ing the body he foresaw would attract ! no attention. But, as in the perpetra? tion of every such crime, some little de? tails were overlooked, and the inde? structible breastpin, hairpins, shoe ' nails and the few bones surviving the barnes have raised their voices against him and will bring the murderer to jastice. There is a terrible excitement around Perry's Mills, Ga., the scene of the murder and the home of the excellent woman whom Davis so shamefully out? raged in his second marriage. Mr. F. M. Grace, the father of the second wife," is the prosecutor in the case for the murder of the rightful wife, and he in? tends that Davis shall feel the weight of the law to the utmost and suffer its extreme penalty. A WARNING AGAINST MESMERISM. ; Clsastrous Results from thc Experiments of Amateurs-Risky lousiness. ? It has become a sreat fad in fanury j circles to experiment in the art of mes I merisa and to try the various tricks of I test mediums, such as staring steadfastly ! in the eye of a weak willed person and thus obtain control of their minds. These amateurs find a great deal of fun in this form of amusement, but sensible parents should never countenance such proceed? ings, fer the most disastrous results are likely to ensue where the subject is of a neurotic temperament Nervous, hys? terical girls and soft boned, growing lads should bo kept away from these circles, for there is always a possibility of ad? ministering a shock that will leave last? ing effects. I was called to attend a young lady in North' St/Louis, who had lain in a trance state for three days and could not be re? stored by ordinary medical treatment She had been playing at innocent parlor tricks'one Sunday evening until the en? tire company declared they had enough bf it Then a young man proposed to mesmerize one of the young ladies, and, without any idea of his secret power, made the usual passes which he had seen practiced in the theaters.. After the third movement the girl's eyes assumed a glassy stare, and the operator became alarmed. The subject was to all intents unconscious of her actions and would not respond to pinching, calls, or even a more violent summons. She was put to bed by her mother, who was a witness of the affair, and ordinary remedies usual in catalepsy applied. A physician was called in, but he could not suggest any relief except electricity. A strong shock was given, but the patient rernaired in? sensible, although breathing regularly. When other measures failed, the pa? rents sent after me, and after hearing the facts I decided the body was sur? charged with electricity and the girl must be demagnetized. I worked for three hours, and was almost completely exhausted when I began feeling the cold current passing from my fingers through my system. Then I realized the girl was saved, for science had conquered- Im? agine what would have liappened if the resr.it was failure. Tho patient was a handsome blonde, of a negative nature, only 17 years of age, and although she had never been south in her life, she spoke of place? in Memphis, and while under the mesmeric influence claimed that her name was Henry Seymour. She v.-oul<l answer questions promptly when addressed by that name, and appeared to grow quite angry when informed that sho was a woman-a fact that she would not believe.-Magnetic Physician in Giobo-Lemocrat. Abritt ?'Ong Distance Te?etrrap?ry. I 4?I liare read those stories about tho marvelous feat of an operator silting in i as o?lice in Vancouver, B. C., and sendf ing a message clearth rough on a straight lino to New South Waics, but there is not a word of truth in it. It has never been done and never WU be with . our prescin system of telegraphing.'* Tho speaker was Chief Operator Will? iam Lloyd, of the main ?frico of thc Westen: Union in this city. Hr. Lloyd went on to explain why a message couid not be sent such a long distance cn a continuons line. "Land telegraphing and sea telegraph? ing are totally different, " said Mr. Lloyd, j '*and that is where the hitch conns m. if 1 want tosend a message to Bombay, for instance, it firs: goes to New York, :hen to Tor'xty, Newfoundland.
