Girl Insulted by a YouDg Soamp. A colored boy about 14 years old, named Garoell Williams, was arrejted and com? mitted to jtil after a hearing before Magis? trate WMIs this morning, on charge made by Hiss Rosa Brown, a while girl, daughter of Hester Brown, who lives a few miles from the city ceer the Geotral Railroad. She seys tbet wbiie walking on the rail? road yesterdey alteroooo, end about \ miles from tbs city, she was asjaulted by Williams wbo took bold of ber arm end made todeceot proposals accompanied with threats Tbs girl was on ber way borne et the time, aod ber node says, was walking nlone, expecting soon to be token up by a dump car thai was to come on behind her. The boy's porsots live not far from the scene of the occurrence, end he was found aod arrested there withoat any difficulty this morning. BIGGER THAN BOBBY PEOPLE WHO, UNDER ENGLISH LAW, MAY LAUGH AT THE POLICE. Great Britain Who Cannot Be Ar? rested ? Royalty-* mm a Matter of The other day at the Westminster (England) county court a warrant for the arrest and committal of a solicitor had to be extended for four months more, as, though the solicitor was walking about the) streets la the sight of the police, they dared not >ay a fin? ger on him. Even the judge seemed surprised that the man could not bt arrested. Hut it Is probable he never will be arrested, for, as he carries a charm on his person in the form of a brief, his body cannot be seized. This Is because no one engaged on business at a law court can be arrested for any breach of the civil law. If you happen to owe a debt, to have a judgment de? livered against you and to be commit? ted to prison for not paying, of course you can be arrested under ordinary circumstances, but If you are sub? poenaed as a witness you cannot bo arrested while going to the place, while staying there to give evidence or while returning home, and you may feel sure that the courts will stick up for you. There are many other people who can laugh at the police. Of course no member of the royal family can be arrested under any circumstances. Servants of the royal household also have great privileges in this way. Should one of the royal servants com? mit a crime at the command of the crown he could not be arrested. As the crown can do no wrong, of course any order the crown should give would be considered tight, and Bobby would not dare to make an arrest. Then members of parliament, though they enn be arrested for some things, are exempt in certain cases where or- j dlnary cltlr.ons would certainly be run in. If a member of the house of com? mons commits a crime, he can be ar? rested like any other citizen, but If it is n case of contempt of court, such as not paying debts, he can snap his fin? gers at the police dining the greater port of the year?that Is to say, he can? not be arrested while parliament Is sit? ting nor for 10 days before aud 40 days after the session. This gives him ex? emption during about nine-tenths of the year. Of course n peer enjoys the same good fortune, and so does a pee/ess In her own right. But In their case the privilege Is still greater, for they can? not be arrested on a civil process at any time, whether parliament Is sit? ting or not In fact, If the heir to a peerage happens to be in prison for any offense not criminal, he Is liberated the moment he succeeds to the title. Foreign embassadors may commit any ofTense, from drunkenness up to murder, without running the slightest risk of seeing the inside of nn English prison. And not only have the embas? sadors themselves this privilege, but their secretaries, coachmen, cooks, valets, etc., are equally favored indi? viduals, for the theory Is that an em bassador Is useless without his dinner, his drives, his shaves and the like. When an embassador commits a crime, all that can be done Is to ask his government to recall him. But, of course. If he went about the streets knocking many people down he would certainly be arrested aud held tempo? rarily. But he could not be tried and punished. The foreign embassador's house, family and servants are looked QDOO as If they were In their own coun? try. Under no circumstances could a policeman or bailiff break Into tho house or arrest auy of the Inhabitants. Soldiers, while on service, could run up debts, refuse to pay, and if a judge, after ordering them to pay, without re? sult. Issued a warrant for their arrest and committal, no policeman dare exe? cute It unless the amount were over $150. Navy men enjoy the same privi? leges, but no doubt they seldom get the opportunity of exercising them. The clergy are another class of men who are sometimes secure against ar? rest A clergyman cannot be arrested when lie Is celebrating divine service or conducting the celebration of rites for the dead; nor can he be touched when going to or returning from either of these duties. Any one breaking the law In this respect might be punished with as much as two years' Imprison? ment with hard labor. On Sundays wo are all privileged. No one can be arrested on Sunday ex? cept for treason, felony or breach of the peace. If any one tries It on with you, you can resist up to the point of killing him. A ctirlvus rule In connection with ar? rest Is nut generally known?If a police? man comes along after a fight or an assault, lie can make no arrest without a warrant.- London Tlt-Blts, The Vartona Claaeea of P O if Is) Plrat on the LUt.

Tbt Gaffoey Ledger thinks that the ttme is coming 60on when the Pied? mont section of South Carolina will take up the cultivation of wheat as the leading crop instead of all cotton, 'osaibly so. It will be coming around somewhat in the realms of reason and common sense when such a thing does come to pass even by half It is an easier crop than cotton to cultivate, and we believe will give as good or great deal better returns in its cultivation as compared to cot? ton. It is certain that where it now takes nearly a whole year to make a crop of cotton, both a crop of wheat and peas can be grown in the same time and the land loses nothing in the plan, but be vastly improved in wheat cultiva? tion.
