only from 4 to cents a dozen and the
glass balls cost a fraction over two cts.

We are going to have lively time here on the

our gratitude to the Railroad Co. and allwho We're
instrumental in aiding them to give daily mail.
Just what we wanted.
And yet another new store is going up! And in

Aftermath & Sist, two enterprising young men, pos

we take pleasure in saying tive wish you every
success.'

esteemed citizen, who is on bed of sickness; but

seeing him out amongst us.

culinary hopes Of success.

A Baptism of Hundreds.

On Sunday morning the roads and
lanes leading across Chimborazo park
were filed with persons, white and black,
male and female, from the gray>haired
sire to the infant in arms, all hurrying
in the direction of Gillie's creek, to
witness the great baptizing. By 10
o'clock a. m. at least 4, 900 persons had
assembled on the York River railroad
and the surrounding hills, and the
leng line of new converts, male
and female, in twos, arrived on the
ground and steod in readiness on either
side of the stream-the males on one
side and the females on the other.
The females were dressed in white, with
white turbans around their head, and
the men with white shirts, and white
handkerchiefs around their heads,
awaited patiently under the burn.
ing sun the arrival of their turn.
After the singing of hymn and
short prayer, the Rev. Scott Gwathmey,
accompanied by one of his deacons,
stepped down into the water and the
baptizing was begun.
The females were served first, and
they were quickly disposed of to make
room for Others in waiting. The men
outnumbered the women. By 1890 the
ceremony was over, and 238 persons had
been immersed by one man. The con-
verts for the most part were very quiet
and undemoustrative, but occasionally
some manifestation of religious feryor
would break out.
One old woman, at least seventy years
of age, walking on crutches, hobbled to
the pool and was among those baptized.
She was taken in the arms Of a stalwart
deacon and bJrne out to the dressing

reversed Speech.

Messrs. Jenkins and Ewing have
recently made some investigations into
the capabilities of the phonograph for
reversing sound when turned in opposite
directions. They state that both vowels
and consonants are unaltered by being
spoken backward, and that, whether the
pulsations Of air be made in given order
or in reverse order, the ear accepts the
sound as indicating the same letter.
Consonants between single pairs of sylla-
bles, as ada, aba, are identifable quite
as we'll backward as forward. A5, how.
ever, said backward becomes ba, and
thus the investigators suggest we have

stitute a single letter or element Of

part. The word nohsaeesossa pronounced
in the phonograph is reproduced very

this juncture Southern stepped up to

drew pistol with the other, pointing TO

Southern, his wife and brother left the
house, and that night left the country in
disguise, and made their way to Marion
county, North Carolina, where they
lived happily on farm for nearly year.
During their stay there child was born,
which now shares their captivity. A
few months ago they were arrested while
they were on the eve of leaving their
farm for the purpose of coming back to
Georgia to stand, trial. Very little cx-
citement was created Jy the arrest or
trial. Everybody seemed to take it for
granted that it would result in an ac-
quittal During the. FIVE days while
the trial was in progress Kate Southern,
who had lost none OF her beauty from
confinement, sat in the courtroom with
her child (about six months old) in her
arms. The child, unconscious of the
terrible reality Of her surroundings,
smiled at everybody, and played and
teyed with Kate's hands, rings, etc.,
almost incessantly. The scene was an
affecting one. The father of the muir
dered woman was in the court roola most
of the time, and toward the close of the
trial seemed to sympathize with Kate as
much as any ones When the
SENTENCE OF DEATH
was pronounced on her, he wept immod-
erately. She is now Under sentence to
hang on the 2Ist OF June. A motion for
a new trial will be made on the 18th inst.
The case wills then go to the supreme
court. In case the supreme court af-
firms the decision of the court below, she
will be re-sentenced to hang some time
in October. Here comes another serious
1t has been discovered that
Mrs Southern is now pregnant, expect
ing confinement during the latter part OF
October or the first of November, and
the laws of this state declare that no
woman shall be hung while quick with
child. Hence delay must necessarily
be made. 1t is safe, think, to say in
advance that she will never be hung
Gov. Smith, our last governor, dug his
political grave by allowing Susan Eber-
hart to hang, and if Gov. Colquitt is not
with the justice of commuta-
tion or pardon, he is too much of a
politician not te interfere. A young
married lady told me to-day that if
Jolquitt refused to pardon this woman
,very married lady in the state would
use her influence against him if he was
3ver candidate for Office again.
