IAN Outrage. On Monday night the
25th of April an outrage was committed
on the family of David Ebert, in Ken
nedy's Valley, few miles from Landis-
burg, that was disgrace to the County
and calls for the severe punishment of
the perpetrators. At that time four
men with their faces blackened entered
Ebert's house tied a rope around his
neck threatening to hang him, tore his
clothes and daubed him with tar. His
wife escaped from the house and ran to
a neighbours. Her screams attracted
some other neighbors who ran to the
house and prevented further damages
being done. The alleged excuse for this
assault is, that Ebert had sold some
prize packages which did not prove as
great "prize" as he had represented,
but there are probably other reasons
that prompted the deed. Ebert may
have deserved all that was inflicted upon
him, but that is no excuse for the course
adopted. Warrants were issued for the
arrest of David Morrison, Jr., William
Morrison, Woodburn Mitchell, and An
thony Weaver, for being engaged in the
assault, and for Emanuel Morrison for
some connection with it. On Tuesday
last Sheriff Beers went to arrest the
above, but leg bail being taken the
arrests were not made. The parties sub
sequently surrendered themselves and
gave bail for their appearance at Court.

well sustained institutions. Such is ssThe
Bingham School," of Mebaneville, N. c.,
established in l7ss, and now being con-
Quoted, in regular succession, by the
grandson (Major Robert Bingham) ofthe
original founder, Rev. William Bingham.
1t has come down from father to SON, and
its fame is still bright. Your Florida and
Georgia readers have special interest in
this venerable school, for both States
have long been largely represented in its
most promising pupils. The last register
shows nineteen cadets from Florida, four
of whom are officers of the Cadet Battal-
ion. Two of the cadets are sons of e1-
Gov George F. Drew, of Ellaville. Geor-
gia has one officer and twelve cadets on
the register The Adjutant of the bat
tallion is Horace L. Simpson, of Florida,
and the First Sergeant of one company is
Livingston Vann (son of Judge Z. J.
Vann, of the same State), whose brother,
Archie L. Vann, is Second Sergeant.
Robert G. Gamble, son of Hon. r. Fl.
Gamble, of Florida, is Fourth Sergeant,
as is, also, Thos. H. Little, son of Judge
T. J. Little, of Georgia. The Georgia
pupils, like those from Florida, are from
many of the best families, and can but
reflect credit upon this "ancient and
honorable" institution of learning. But
would it not be we'll for Georgia and
Florida to build up a .frst-class military
school at no me .? Here are twenty-eight
good paying scholars in one North Caro-
lima school, and schools in other States
are also patronized.
Some immigrants complain that lands
are high here. Perhaps the price does
sound large to men who have been look
ing at pine lands and accustomed them
selves to thinking of lands at the mini
mum price fixed by the government. But
it must borne in mind that the govern
ment price Of land is no criterion of value.
1t is simply fee per acre fixed for the
purpose of defraying the expenses Of the
land department of the Government. The
most of the fine hammock lands for which
our county is celebrated were once the
property Of the State and were sold at
what was deemed reasonable price,
namely, from $500 to $3.50 per acre. 1t
must also be remembered that at the time
the State sold these lands, the southern
portion of Florida was almost an unbro-
ken wilderness. If the lands were worth
from So O0Ito $3.50 per acre then, should
they not be equally as valuable now, that

a BOUNCING STORY.

Shoes with India rubber soles will
be much worn this month. The great
merit claimed for these coverings is the
freedom impaired to the feet, sure
foot-ho1d, and dry kings. 1 have,
however, heard n story which alto
gether oyerbalances the schedule of
'tadvantages." 1t was the case of n
poor gentleman who met with q very
extraordinary adventure recently. He
resided up Rathgar way, in as pretty u
little three story house as you ever laid
eyes on. Well, few days ago he
trickling down the :new-papered walls
of his dwelling, and he decided to ex-
plore the house and find the leak. He
opened the sky-light and slid cautious
ly into the gutter, but, missing his
foothold, he shot over the parapet on
to the flags beneath. Fortunately, he
had on pair of new Indiarubber boots
with soles OF unusual thickness. When
his feet struck the pavement he re-
bounded into the air then he bounced
down and he bounced up again, and
ever since he has been hopping back
ward and forward. Every time he as
cended 1t was noticed that the height
of his spring became less and less, and
his relatives calculate that Christmas
will find him at standstill. further
hear that this poor gentleman is fed
by person who fills India-rubber balls
with hash and extracts of meat which
he catches on the hop. 1t maybe adj
ded that the height of the poor gentle
mans fall was three stories and that
the fall itself probably makes u fourth.

"rELL THE GENTLEMAN yEs.o

a London newspaper tells curious
story about gentleman who proposed
at dinner party to lady who is now
his wife. He had been a lover for
some time, but never quite persuaded
himself up to the point of popping the
question. During the cventful dinner
he learned from the person sitting next
to him that rival intended that
evening to make an attack upon his
Dulcinea's heart. She was sitting some
distance from him at the table, and the
rival was at her side. lie was equal
to the emergency, however, for, tear
ing half-leaf from his notebook, he
wrote upon it;
"Will you be my wife?" "Write
your answer, yes or no, upon this paper
and return il to me-"
Calling the waiter, the ingenious
lover sent the missive TO "the lady in
clue at the end of the table-to be very
careful" The servant did as directed,
but the lover in his anxiety forget to
send his pencil. The lady had pre-
sence of mind, however, and, tuckinp
the note into her bosom, said to the
waiter:

The following anecdotc, says an Eng
lish paper, illustrates how money, by
changing hands, accomplishes SO
much a singular financial trausac-
ton occurred lately in an office. By
some means or other it happened that
the office-boy owed one Of the clerks
threepence, the clerk owed the cashier
twopence, and the cashier owed the
office-boy twopence. One day last
week the office-boy, having penny
in his pocket, concluded to diminish
his debt. and therefore banded it over
to the clerk, who in turn paid half his
debt by giving 1T to the cashier. The
latter gave it back to the boy saying
that he only owed him one penny.
The office-boy again passed the penny
to the clerk, who passed 1T to the cash
ier, who passed it back to the>boy, and
the boy discharged his entire debt by
handing it to the clerk, thereby squar.
ing all accounts. Thus II may be seen
how great is the benefit to be derived
from a single penny.

The phrase "According to Gunter"
refers to Edmund Gunter, a distinguish
ed English mathematician, who was
born In 1851 and died In 1926. IIe is
best known as the inventor ofthc chain
commonly used by surveyors for
measuring land, and of the fiat wooden
rule marked with scales of equal parts,
of sines, chords, etc., and also with
logarithms of these various parts
which is used to solve problems in Sur
veying and navigation mechanically,
with the aid of the dividers alone.
Hence in the popular use of the
phrase, anything is "according to
Gunter" which is done quite right and
admits Of no Improvement.
