How SHE HANDICAPPED HIM FOR
LIFE.-A distressing occurrence, which
should be warning to all unmarried men,
occurred the other evening on the West
Side, tho victim being youth of the most
exemplary habits and almost the sole sup
port of poker game into which he had
been rJpcd carly in the season. For some
time past he has been paying attentions to
a beautiful but experienced girl Of 20, his
natural timidity, however, serving as a
shield to ward off the dangers which always
attend enterprises Of the kind in which he
was engaged. Seeing that he was not to
be captured by the ordinary means, the
cold blooded siren conceived plot which
she Immediately proceeded to put into exc
cution
The next time her victim called he was
ushered into the lair, commonly known as
the parlor, and induced to deposit himself
in large arm chair, while the assassin of
his happiness occupied an adjacent sofa
Knowing that he was an admirer Of fast
horse flesh, the striped d.stocking demon art
fully directed the conversation in that di-
rcction and finally asked what a handicap
was "Why, said the young man, ''it is a
race in which the horses carry different
weights for instance one that carries 120
pounds, while all the rest are in 100 or SO,
is said to be handicapped" "Thcn," said
the sorceress, while cold light seemed to
be emitted from her eyes, "if l were to sit
on your knee you would be handicapped at
145 pounds, wouldn't you ?" 1t is hardly
necessary to say that the unfortunate man
made no resistance, that in moment she
was seated there and the old man opened
the door at precisely the right time CHI

or in drawing room, will no more ask per-

The PENITENTIAnY CONDEMNED AND
JUDGE LYNCH JUsTIPiED.-Orangebu
March 22.-That much of the crime in
this State is attributable to whiskcy aud the
practice Of carrying concealed weapons, can
not be denied and tho time has comc when
| tho most stringent laws should be enacted
for the suppression of these evils. Let the
war against them be carried, if needs be,
| into Africa. There is, however, still another
caus, of crime. The Penitentiary, though
| designed to lesson crime, tends TO increase
it. This, to some, may seem strange, but it
| is nevertheless true. The fear of term in
the Penitentiary, even for life, is not parti-
cularly great with the worthless and evil
| disposed to be found in every community,
who would almost as leave be in as out of it.
The chance of getting there instead of hay
ing to stretch u little hemp, or hug the
whipping-post, has tendency to make such
characters reckless and regardless of conse-
| quenccs in the commission of crime.
When some years ago this question Of
penitcntiary or no pcnetentiary was before
the people of the State, one of her most
gifted and honored sons, the lato Gen. d.
+. Jamison, after very careful examina-
tion of all the statistics obtainablc upon the
subject, became q warm advocate of the
negative side, upon the ground that where
penitcntiaries existed crime was much more
prevalent than where there were nonc.-
That crime in South Carolina, in proportion
to population, has greatly increased since
| the establishment of the penitentiary, must
DO opporoat 60 oil. eN.------------------
| As to his Honor, Judge Lynch, tho wri-
ter claims to bo law-abiding citizen Of
this good old Commonwealth, as much so
as any man within her borders, aud in all
ordinary cases will 60 as far rs any of his
fellow-citizcns in maintaining Inviolatc the
| law Of the land, but, when crime like that
for which Moore was lynched in Spartan
burg and Kinder in Coleton is committed,
it will require tho aid of microscope with
the most wonderful magnifying powers to
enable him to see anything particularly
wrong in swinging the pcrpetrator of it as
high as Hamar to the nearest tree, without
judge or jury. These, VIC believe, to be the
sentiments of oil men throughout the coun-
try-North, East, South and West-who
are possessed of true manhood, and who
are deserving of and appreciate the noblest
and best gift cf God to man. 1t is only
the faint hearted and weak -knced who hold
up their hands in holy horror at such pro.
ccedings.
We think it can be justly assumed that
| when a devil in human form commits the
most damnable aud heinous crime known TO
the law, he by his own deliberate act places
himself in such a position q to deserve the
protection of the law no longer.
Lynch law, it must be admitted, is bad
law, though it has its good as well as bad
features. There are doubtless others of tho
same stripe as Moore and Kinder, who, were
it net for fear of being Immediately lynchcd,
would soon make themselves known.-A.

FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA-
Some time ago Mr. G.. w. Garner, owner
of the Harris Mill on Lawson's Fork, and
his brother, S. l.. Garner, of Union County,
accompanied by colored boy, Smith Spears,
embarked, in common plank boat IS feot
long and 3! feet wide, at Skull Shoals on
p1fs S4 td &reF eoda Ane Their 'H1 caup
ment consisted of few simple cooking
utensils, good axe, some guns aud ammu-
nition and few necessary bed clothes
The boat had n, sort of covering, and was
worked by oars. Quietly they foated down
Pacolct to Broad River at Pinckney Ferry
thence down that river by easy stages to
Columbia. They camped out at night !;
stopped in the day time and took a little
hunt when they came to an inviting place
They generally kept themselves in game,
mostly squirrels and ducks. They spent
two or three days in Columbia. Thus far
the waters had been familiar to G.. w. Gar
ner, as he had made, perhaps, several trips
to Columbia in cotton boats. After rest
ing in Columbia they started down the
Gongnrec, and then they seemed, after a
short ride, to be hedged in by :ntcrminable
swamps. They came upon new kind of
tree-thc cypress. At Hopkins Turn Out
they stopped awhile, and were there pleas
antly entertained by a planter. Here their
colorcd companion came to the conclusion
that he was about rs far from the hills
about Skull Shoals as he desired to be. In
fact the appearance of the Congaree swamps
was not inviting, so he took the train and
returned. The two brothers then proceeded
down, to them, the strange and unknown
waters Innumerablc squirrels and ducks
now made their appearance. They only
shot enough for their own use or if in the
excitement Of the sport they killed more,
they gave them out to the first person they
saw on the banks. Sometimes they would
see no sign Of human habitation for whole
day. Forests and swampt were on all sides.
Thus they proceeded until they reached
tide water; then they went out IN sight of
tho blue and boundlcss Atlantic. After
taking q peep at Old Ocean they turned
up Musquito Creek and rowed into the. bay
at Georgetown. Here they spent several
days looking around this old town. The
trip lasted about three weeks. OF course
they could have gone down much quicker
but they wished to see and learn on the
way. They sold their boat for about the
original cost of the lumber and then took a
steamer for Charleston, and after looking
around the old City awhile they took the
train for home. So well arc they pleased
with their trip that they think Of repeating
it next winter. To them this was fine
object lesson in geography, as we'll as u les
son i'll human nature Car. Spartan.

FIGHT WITH A MADMAN.-Thc Now
bern (N c. NutSheU publishes tho follow
ing particulars Of horrible tragedy which
occurred in Onslow County, last week.
"A man who had been considered a lunatic,
but whose lunacy was Of such mild type
that heretofore he has been inoffensive, went
to tho farm house of Mr.. Rhodes and asked
that gentleman to assist him in grinding n
knife. Mr. Rhodes was busy al. the time
and could not give his attention to the lu-
matte, whereupon the lunatic rushed upon
him, and with tho knife cut deep cash
from his neck all tho way down the back
MIR. Rhodes Immediately turned upon his
crazy assailant, when the lunatic commenced
cutting him in the face and breast. The
loss of blood and pains from his many
wounds'caused Mr.. Rhodes to fall, but in do
ing so he called negro boy to his assistance
The boy came up with pitchfork in his
hand, and the lunatic, turning his at
tentioh from the wounded man, rushed
upon the lad, wrenching the pitchfork
from his hands and plungiug the proLgs
entirely through his body. He then again
assailed the wounded man with his knife,
and was continuing to cut and slash his
body, when Mrs. Rhodes rushed out. The
lunatic picked up the pitchfork and made a
dash for her, when MIR. Rhodes called to the
wounded boy to bring him his gun. The
gun was handed him and he discharged a
heavy charge of powder and ball into the
head of the crazy man, killing him almost
instantly. Mr.. Rhodes was literally cut to
pieces, but as none Of the wounds, fortu.
nately, had been inflicted in vital spot, it
is thought he will eventually recover, while
it is believed to be an impossibility for the
boy to survive"

An one spare room for company
And one spare bed within it
If you'd begin Loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin it.

And let the stuffed chairs wait;
One looking glass will do for both
Yourself and loving mate,
And BRUSSELS, too, and other things
Which make q fine appearance,
If you can better afford it, they
Will better look n year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb aud costly, too
Your wife will be q picture, John,
Let that suffice for you
Remember what the wise mon said;
"a hut and love within il,
Is better than n splendid house
With pickering every minute"
And one word as to cooking, John,
Your wife can do it best,
For love to make the biscuit rise
Is better far than yeast;
No matter if each day you don't
Bring turkey to the table,
Twill better relish by and by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John
Money earned every day
