Wo heard (lie other day that a gen-' tleman had bought an oldsmobiie or automobile. We wondered who was going to run it. We asked who would be the motorman. We saw in some paper that we were wrong, that the fellow who runs it is called a chauffeur. There is no such a word in our dictionary. 1 guess it was French by the sound and the way it is spelled.

Moso was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of fifteen dollars or work on the city chain gang for 510 duys. The woman was released there being no proof against her. This is a case of robbery of a higher and more aggravated nature than simple larceny una is tliereforo cognizable by the circuit court, being an olTcnse punishable by imprisonment in the State penitentiary, and should be referred to the magistrate for further action.

For a while it looked like the mill was in.great danger of being burned, but prompt action in turning on the water from the sprinklers soon stopped the flames. The cotton was carried out as fust as possible and piled up on the hill some distance from the mill, and 'twas thought the fire was extinguished, hut on examination Thursday morning, it was found that tlie cotton was still burning, and it became necessary to tnrow on more water, although it rained that night.
