A MODEL LEa1sLAToR-A correspond
ent, NJ, in q long communication to the
Chesterfield Democrat, charges. R. James
Donaldson with being the instigator if not
the actual perpetrator, Of all the so-called Ku
klux outrages in the county, includig then
murder of Melton. He gets forth the rea-
sons for his belief at length. Donaldson, it
will be rccollected, is one ofthe very worst Of
the carpet-baggersthat we're stranded on this
shore by the receding tide Of war, and has
been thorn in the flesh of the people of the
Pee Dee country from '65 to this day. ike
Whittemore, Donaldson is Northern Meth
odist preacher. He has been engaged in
politics, gold mines, the land commission and
general merchandise. He is now. or lately
has been internal revenue collector, and in
all these several widely different employments
has somehow managed to get the illwill of all
honest men with whom he came in contact.
One of the most promnet Republican officials
is our authority for his general character.

A FpE PoKE.-How can q person be
attached to house that has no center Of
attraction, no soul in it, in the visible form
of glowing fire, and an warm chimney,
like the heart in the body? When you
think of the old homestead, if ever you do,
your thoughts go straight to the wide chin
ney and its burning logs No. wonder
that you are ready to move from one fire.
placeless house into another. But you have
something just as good, you say. Yes, I
have heard of it. This age, which initiates
everything, even to the virtues of our ances-
tors, has invented fireplace, with artificial,
iron, or composition logs in it, hacked and
painted, in which gas is burned so that it
has the appearance of awood 6re.-This
seems to be blasphemy. Do you think a
cat would lie down before it? Can you
poke it? IF you can't poke it, it is fraud.
To poke wood fire is more solid enjoyment
than almost anything else in the world.
The crowning human virtue in man is to
let his wife. poke the fire. do not know
how any virtue whatever is possible over an
imitation gas fog What sense in sincerity
the family must have, if they indulge in the
hypocrisy of gathering about it. With this
center of untruthfulncss what must the life
in the family be? Perhaps the father will
be living at the rate of ten thousand year
on salary of fou, thousoand: perhaps the
mother, more beautiful and younger than
her beautifed daughters, will rouge; perhaps
the young ladies will make wax-work.s A
cynic might suggest as the motto Of modern
life this simple legend-"Just as good as
the real" But I am not cynic, and I
hope for the rekindling of wood fires, and q
return of the beautiful light from them. If
wood flee is a luxury, it is cheaper than
many in which we indulge without thought
and cheaper than the visits of doctor,
made necessary by the want of ventilation
of the house. Not that 1 have anything
against doctors; I only wish, after they
have been to see us in way that seems SO
friendly, they had nothing against us.

Claim against the City for Injuries
Verdict for Berry Ill. Brown.

Yesterday IN the Circuit Court verdict
of 50, 500 was rendered in favor of Ber-
~ IL. Brown for damages. About four
years ago, Mr.. Brown received serious
injuries by falling on or through pave
mGnt on North Market street, which was
being repaired. He brought suit against
the corporation, which resulted in a mis-
trial. Suit was again commenced lately,
and has occupied the attention of the
Court for several days. Yesterday Gen.
William B. Bate made very powerful
argument for the plaintiff, which is
spoken of as having been an able pre-
sentatiOn of the law and facts in the
case; and this argument undoubtedly had
great weight with the jury. So far as
VIC have heard, the verdict gives great
satisfaction to those acquainted with the
facts in the case.
