STORY OPA MOTHER'S LOVE. An Incident of Life as Sf en on Bailroad Train. On the train over the Coast Line Saturday evening there was an iocid?nt that show, that a n-otber's love is tbe same the world over, and is po?sessed of a strength that i. beyond compare. When the train palled up at Sumter a very neatly dressed white woman, apparently abont 35 ye*rs old, came aboard the train in baste. She had n little boy about seven year3 old, wiih ber-a pretty bov-and he looked as if be had been crying. The woman seemed nearly out of breath and very much excited A passenger banded ber n giass o< water, which she drank. Then ch? leaned beck and concealed tbe child as much a3 pos? sible with ber skirt and cloak, and seemed uneasy uotil the traia had started for Co? lombia. Then she told the story of a mother's love to the passengers about ber. ?*he was from Carterville She said that when the child, first named Joe, afterwards changed to Char? ley, was a mere infant, she bad found that she was too poor to care for it, so she adver? tised in a paper and an aged couple at Sum? ter responded. Sbe turned ber child over to them. Bot she found that she could not live with? out her child ; she was williog to work for it till she dropped, if she could only have it with her. Sbe went to the couple and told them this, but they were unwilling to let ber bave ber child again, so she smuggled the little one away, carried him to & colored woman's boase just eut of Sumter, and concealed him there until nearly train time. Then she made a ruth for the depot and took the traia. She said she bad a sister here at work io the Granby mills, and she had only enough money to pay her way here. Tbe passes gera made up a purse and gave it to ber and saw that she got a carriage and started for the mill village wheo the train arrived here. Os the way up the mother repeatedly asked the little boy : "Don't you know me, Charley; don't you know your own moth? er?" Be would draw away and declare that be did not know ber, and asked ber to "take him home tomorrow " She tried time and again to coax the child to show some sign of recognition, but 'could not. She* declared time and again tbat sbe would give np her life before she woald part with her regained child. The names of all the parties are in the possession of The State bot they are not necessary to the completeness of this incident .f a railroad car -The State. The foregoing pathetic story which appear . ed in the State yesterday morning excited considerable interest in this city and there were many inquiries duriog the day as to the identity of the persons who figured in the story Inquiry by the writer brought out the fo! low:og facts. The woman who reclaimed the ! cbiid and fled to Columbia as related in the j State was Mrs Jaoe Gerald, forme-iy of i Carteraville. The aged couple who adopted ! tba child. when an infant and from whom tbe mother took it on Friday were Mr. aut? M rs. J. T. H*js. Mrs Gerald was a married woman who lived near Car ter 3 vi lie, bot about ten or twelve years ago abs separated from her bos band. Aboot six years ago she gave birth te a boy child aod cbortly afterwards adver . :i3td in the Watchman and Southron offering to give the baby to anyone who would give it a borne and raise it as bis own. Mr. J T. Hayes, then living ia the Brogdoo neighbor? hood, saw the advertisement, and after seeing the woman, be agreed to adopt the iofant, although it was a babe at the breast and mach younger than be and bis wife wished to adopt However, as they were childless and wanted a child, and especially as the mother importuned them to take tbe child and give it a home and the care and attention that she coold not, they finally consented. Hrs. Gerald not only gave op the child freely end willingly bot was profuse in ber expres? sions of thanks and gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Hayes for giving ber baby a good borne She resigned all claim to the infant and promised that she woold never ask them to return it. Mr. Hayea relied opon ber word and did oot require ber to put the transfer of tba child in writing, and they took 00 6teps to have tbe adoption put into legal shape They never once though: the mother woold reclaim the child of which shs was apparent? ly so aoxtoos to be rid. Fer fi7e years Mr and Mrs. Hayes have given the child every care aod have provided it with all the com? forts w'tbin their mean3, and have in every way treated it aa if it waa their own ftash and blood On Friday morning last Mrs Gerald weot to the bouse of Mr Hayes to sea the little boy .od although he did not recognize her, she enticed him to go with ber to show her the way to a neighbor's bouse He went with Mrs. Hayes' oosect, MM Gerald promisiog to briog him back in a few minutes Io3?ead of keapiog ber promise she got a buggy acd taking the child with her went through tbe country to Sayesville where she remained in hidiog in a negro's house until Saturday eight. Then she took the train for Columbia, carrying the boy with her By going to Mayesville she threw Mr Hayes off her track, for be naturally thought abe bad retoroed to her former home at Car? terville He coGld learn nothing of the whereaboots of tba woman aod bis foster child, and was enduring the keenest aoxiety j until he read of the woman's flight to Coium- j bia in Monday's State Mr Hayes canoot recover bis foster child to which both be and bis wife have become moca attached during the five years they have bad bim, for they hare no legal righi to it and no papers to prove that the mother resigned to them ber right to bim. Never-. theless as a matter of right and justice it does seem that Mr Baies bas a better cl&iia on the cbiid than its mother who gave it j away when a helpless infant, and now ab ? ducts it from a comfortable borne when be is almost large eooigh to work in a cotton mill and assist bis mother in earning a support for ber as well as himself Dr Bud's Cough Syrup curra any case of bronchitis, long affection and grippe Pby siciaos presence ibis reliable remedy, ano druggists recommet d it; because it never fails to cure, s?nd cop's bu t 25 cents a Dottie --^M^V- m . -- Fourth Regimen: Band.

Supreme Court Refuses ST^vv Trial The Supreme Court bas rendered another decision io the Garrett-Weiubc-rg cas-? which , b*3 been iu tbs courts for so iong Th? fol- j lowing report of the case on appeal is taken from Tbe Stare : John A.

The ap^ella^t mcvrd the supreme court to j suspend the hearing of the appeal and re- | maud the cause to the circuit court in order | that the appealaot3 might there make a mo- j tion for a new trial oa grounds set forth in j tbe application. Of the=e grounds four relatf j to the evidence alleged to b?'e been newly discovered. The fifth sets forth that W. A. Sparks was improperly placed on the jury i ' that tried the cause-a tact coming to the knowledge of appellant after tbe trial. Tbe sixth sets forth that W. A. Sparks was in? competent to serve as a juror. The seventh and eighth set forth that the jary misappre? hended the jodge'8 charge in certain particu? lars mentioned. Each gtoood is accompa? nied with affidavits in support of the same. The respondent filed counter affidavits It is well settled that io order for the appel? lant to prevail io a motion of this kind be must show: (I) that the evidence was dis? covered after the former trial; (2) that it could not by due diligence have been discov? ered previous te that time ; (3) that it is material. The supreme court, on grounds of public poilcy, declined to bear argomeot on the seventh and eighth grounds of appellants. Altbongh tbe evidence was not discovered until after the last trial, it conld have been discovered if due diligence had been used to ascertain the facts. Furthermore the said evideoce is immaterial. The court deems it unnecessary to state tbe facts which have induced this conclusion this in view of the mass of the testimony in? volved, and in view also of the pendency of the appeal from the judgment below.

I made substantially the foregoing statement to a gsotleman, who asked me by letter if I had requested you to publiso your "experi? ences" &c , as tbe headlines in the "Sunday Naws" indicated.

I referred bim to what I bad alreaay written him upon the surject, but he wanted only a denial of tbe "request to publiab," and what I did give bim for correction io the paper I see pobliah ed io tb?? last Sunday News.

Ireland has furnished England's great leaders in war, as well as its bravest soldiers Recognition of the fact has been delayed ; but even now it extends no further than the extention to that gallant race of the privilege of wear ing a sprig of shamrock on festive occasions That is to be England's reward to Ireland for furnishing the generals and the soldiers to win and maintaio Its empire It is a pitiful concession-one which only serves to emphasize the past and present brutality of the British goveroment towards gallant and generous Erin But the frisky sentimentality of the old woman wi!i go no further than the wearing of an occasional sprig of shamrock, and the permitting of the Irish to do likewise without subjecting themselves to the charge of disloyalty That will, perhaps, be concession enough, coupled with the purposed visit to Dublin, to give a fresh impetus to volunteering io the Green Isle.

Is the president for free trade with Porto Rico today, or is he not ? Is he leading his party or bas he surrendered to tbe dictates of special interest, following the triumphal car like a prisoner of war ? Will some gentleman please j tell me whether the president is for free trade with Porto Rico, or is he I not ?" After waiting in vain for a | reply to bis questions, Mr Tillman ! said with a sardonic laugh : "A j dumbness falls upon us all " He j then vividly sketched the present troubles of the republican party, and predicted that the people would sweep it from power, for not recog nizing that the flag, the constitution and liberty must travel together, and charged the republican party with indirection hypocrisy and dirty work Senator Spooner sought to detract attention from Senator Till? man's plain talk about Porto Rico by shifting the debate to the suppres? sion of the negro vote in South Caro lina, but Mr Tillman met bim at once by declaring that he had no apolo gies to make for the action of the white people of South Carolina, add ing : "When you conid get nothing more from us by law, you turned a horde of negroes and carpet baggers loose cpon us to steal everything we had left We are here to stay, and we demand our rights We are not to be trampled on and hammered and patronized any longer. ? say that as a South Carolinian, I am the equal of any senator on this floor I propose to have my say here, no matter whose feelings are hurt " After ten years' service in the house, Representative Cox, of Ten nessee, bas announced that be will not be a candidate for reelection When asked why, he answered in three words-' Tired of it " He will be missed by the democrats of the next bouse, as he bas won a place as an able champion of demo eratic principles That the government over pays for low grade work and under pays for high grade work has again beeu emphasized by the resignation of Elon A P Greeley, assistant com missioner of patents, because of his small salary, to engage in practice iu Washington making a specialty of trade marks and foreign patents The retirement of Mr Greeley is a decided ioss to the government He has been in the patent office for 16 years, has filled many important posi tiona, including that of commission er, besides writing several works j recognized as authority on patent i law, and not only proved bis ability, but exhibited an amount of backbone seldom found in a government < facial, the latter was particul&rly noticeable in thc long fight which resulted in disbarring the notorious John Wed? derburn and other crooked patent I attorneys Representative Caldwell, of III , j believes that Senator Cullon w'll be succe< ded by a democrat.

"With thc first three I suffered almost unbearable pains from J 2 to H Hours, and had to be placed under the influence of chloroform, I used three bottles of Mother's Friend before cur last child came, which is a strong, fat and healthy boy, doing my housework up to within two hours of birth, and suf? fered but a few hard { pains. This lini- > ? ment is the grand-1 / est remedy ever \. made." Mother's will do for every woman what it did fer the Minnesota mother who writes the above let? ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to bc paid for in pain and suffering. Mother's Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which in turn ?re imparted to the child. It relaxes the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect consiticn for the final hour, so that thc actual labor is short and practically painless. Dan? ger cf rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter o? a few days. DruT i s ts sci! .^other's Prier. J fr>r $1 a bott!*.
