BUILDED BETTER THAN HE KNEW.

Passengers on the Airline have noticed
recently, in field in Spartanburg county, on
double masted staff about thirty feet high,
a huge whisky bottle placed mouth downward
on top of the pole, and pending from the neck
of the bottle long white streamer jauntily
floating to the breeze. So opposite to the
great temperance wave now sweeping the
country did this manifestation seem, that a
friend who visited the centennial at Spartan
burg last week, says that he and others natural
ly concluded that the reversed position of the
bottle and the white pennant waving in the
air, signalized on the part of him who erected
it, a straight-out unconditional surrender to
the cause of temperance and sobriety, and
they were profuse in their congratulations and
Fluctuations until informed that the object of
their admiration was not intended as a sym.
bol of temperance, however we'll it might
apply, but had been erected to frighten dep
redating birds from the field-that it was, in
fact, veritable scare crow of the Spartanburg

Mr.. G. o. Riley. Sheriff of Barnwell county
arrived in the city yesterday morning at
a. m. on the Richmond and Danville Railway
to take charge of w. H. Priester. Sheriff
GiIreath shortly afterwards called on the
prisoner and informed him of the fact. This
announcement, although it must have been
anticipated, violently agitated Priester, who
became thoroughly unnamed, manifesting, il
possible, greater degree of nervous excite
ment than he has exhibited since his arrest
Mrs. Priester and his cousin, Miss Priester, has
been constantly with the unhappy man since
last Tuesday, his condition, when left by him
self, being SO deplorable as to induce them
not to leave him day or night. About nine
o'clock yesterday morning close carriage
was driven to the Jail, furnished by Mr.. Har-
ris for the comfort of the two ladies, who ac-
companied Priester with Sheriffs Riley and
Gilreath to the Columbia and Greenville de-
pot. On the way to the depot, Priester ex-
hibited the same utter abandonment to grief
as he has always manifested when not under
the soothing influence of his devoted wife and
his cousin. On the way between the jail and
the depot, between violent fits of crying, he
would throw up his hands and implore every
body to pray for him, and when placed on
the cars he clung to his wife, uttering inn
ploring CALCULATIONS, and as the train started
she was Sitting by his side with his head on
her lap. 1t is Mrs Prester's determination
to accompany him to Barnwell and to remain
with him to the last, whatever the issue of
this wretched tragedy may be. The trial
will take place at the June term of Court,
which convenes on the second Monday in
June, Judge Maekey presiding.

MODERN SHYLOCK.
Landlord Tears iiIe Roof of House
off While tl,e Tenant Is Absent.

An interesting action for damages was
argued before Justice Richards yesterday. The
case was that of a colored man named Cole who
occupied house owned by one Gaegler. While
Cole and his family were out of the city Gaegler,
who desired to obtain possession Of the property,
tore off the roof of the house and pulled down tie
back building When Cole came back the house
was of course not habitable, and he claimed that
by that reason the health of himself and
family was injured, and hence the claim
for damage. The defense set up was that
Gaegler did not own the property when
Cole first rented it, and that there was no breach
of covenant on his part. The justice decided that
the letter of the law left no alternative but to
concede the right of damages, the measure of
such damages being reserved for future eonsidera-
ton. Mr.. F. H. Falls appeared for the plaintiff
and e H. Thomas for defendant.

Mrs. Sara J. Spencer moved as a substitute that a

withdrew his motion and substituted one for the
designation of committee on organization, to
consist of seven members, who should report az
the next meeting a list of nominations for perma-

ADJUSTMENTS.
Benefits OF SIessrs. James A. Pagan, 8. G.
Elliott. and the Potomac Boat Club.


Lincoln Hall was comfortably filled by
select audience last night on the occasion of
the complimentary benefit of James A. Pagan.
The programme, which was an excellent one, was
well rendered throughout. The Apollo Glee Club
renewed its hold on popular favor by its ex-
cellent rendition of several selections, receiv-
ing encores and in one instance q double
encore in acknowledgment of its efforts.
Warren S. Young sang Gomezs al Guarany"
acceptably, and was heartily eucored; Miss
Eva Mills execution of the Waltz song
from Romeo and julie" was highly artistic and
pleasing, and won for her well-merited encore,
to which she responded with Blumenthars Down

lowed with Watson's "The Sentinel" which af-
forded ample occasion for display of his voice,
which is full, strong busso profuado Mr.. John o.
Pugh warmly welcomed by his numer
Gus friends, and sang "The Lovers Ride I"
and "a Warrior Bold" in his usually
effective manner. Mr.. Frank Parsons voice is so
well and favorably known that special comment
is unnecessary. He sang Blumenthals Life"
The readings of Messrs. John Tweedale and Ralph
Jefferson added much to the pleasure of the even
ing The concert was a success financially, as well
as artisically. 1t was matter of regret that Mrs.
True was unable to appear, and that some num-
bers upon the programme had to be omitted.
MR.. S. C. ELLIoTT'S BENEFIT.
The benefit of Mr.. S. C. Elliott, which will be
had at the National Theatre Friday evening
next, should be remembered early. Mr.. Elliott
has for years been a prominent amateur, and has
always freely given his services in aid of local
charity whenever asked, and now there should be
reciprocal attention from those whom
he has favored. John Brougham's comedy,

played here, but which is full of brilliant wit and
amusing situations will be presented by q cast

brace many of our bright society ladies. Mr.. War

with full orchestral accompaniment, between the
acts.
