HOUSE ON WHEELS.

An unusual sight was to be seen on Main
street last Monday evening, it being a house
mounted on wheels and drawn by mules.
Messrs. Hunter & Oates desired to move a one
story wooden house from the lot on which they
are building their new store, and under the
supervision of Sheriff Glenn, the work was
successfully done, by mounting it Oh truck
arranged for the purpose, and hitching to it
team of five mules. In less than an hour after
all was ready, the house was drawn from its
location, near the Presbyterian church, to Mr..
Oates lot. on Main street-a distance of /
mile. Thus has disappeared from one of the
streets another old landmark, this house lIav-
ing been built about the year 1887, by the late
Thomas Palmer, and used by him for num-
ber of wears as a shoe shop.

PERSONAL MENTION.

The connection of Col. W. j. Houston with
the Richmond & Danville Railroad ceases to-
lav. Col. Houston has been connected with
the Airline Railroad ever since its compile
tion, he having been retained on that division
by the Richmond Il Danville combination,
and from his long connection with the road
had become to be regarded as permanent
fixture of that important railway line. In
the various positions of responsibility and
trust which he occupied Col. Houston per-
formed his duties with satisfaction to his
company and the public, and in retiring from
that service, he will have the we'll wishes of
large number of friends.
We were pleased to meet our whilom towns
man J. S. r. Thomson, of Spartanburg, who
with his family paid short visit to relatives
here, returning home last Monday evening.

INTERMARRIAGE OF THE RACEs.-ln the
United States Supreme Court, on. the oath
ultimo, in the case of Jno. G. Tinsley, plain
tiff in error, against the Commonwealth OF
Virginia, on motion of Mr.. F. S. Blair, the
encouragement of Virginia, the appeal WAS
dismissed with cost pursuant to the 10th rule.
Tinsley, the plaintiff in error in this case,
who is a colored man. was tried and convicted
in one of the State Courts of Virginia for mar
rying a white woman contrary to the law OF
that State which prohibits the intermarriage
of white and black persons. He brought the
case upon a writ of error with the intention
of testing the constitutionality of the Virginia
law, but when the case was called this after
noon he virtually allowed it to against him
by default having taken no steps to prosecute
the appeal; .... ,-.- ss.....
An explanation of his apparent negligence
may perhaps be found in the fact that the
Court has now under consideration case
from Alabama which involves precisely the
same question, namely, the constitutionality
of State laws prohibiting miscegeneration.
The Alabama case is entitled Toney Pace
and another against the State of Alabama
and also arises out of the living together of a
negro and a white woman. Tinsley, the
plaintiff in error in the case dismissed this
afternoon, probably thought it unnecessary to
go the expense of employing counsel to prose-
cute his appeal wheE the principal at issue
would shortly be decided in the case already
befor the court.
In the Alabama case above referred to, the
Supreme Court rendered decision last Mon
day. The court holds that the law Of Ala
bama prohibiting miscegeneration is not in
conflict with the 14th amendment to the con-
stitution or with the civil rights legislation
founded Oh it, for the reason that it applies
the same punishment to both offenders, white
and black, without discrimination.

Confusion IN THE CENsUs.-The Senate
appropriation committee has agreed to report
Joint resolution apprOpriating S2OO,O0O to
continue the work of the census with an
amendment reducing the amount to $1,000
The original amount was made up of SlOO,OOO
to continue the work of the census during
the current fiscal year and the remainder to be
applied to next years work.
The committee have found the work OF the
census in such an unsatisfactory condition,
however, that they are unwilling to recon-
mend the appropriation Of any considerable
amount without the assurance that the mon
ey will not be wasted, and this assurance they
have thus far failed to obtain, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they have had before them
twice the secretary of the interior and acting
superintendent of the census Richards.
These officials attended the committees
meeting last Friday morning and endeavored
to explain the state of affairs in the census
bureau, but their statement only confirmed
the opinion of the committee that the work OF
the census was in such a state Of confusion
that Congress would not be warranted at this
time in granting a greater amount than IS
barely sufficient to keep the bureau running.
1t is not unlikely that this action of the COM
mittee will be followed by bill providing for
the early termination Of the work of collating
and publishing within limits considerably mar
rover than as now contemplated by the sclen-
titic gentlemen who have charge of the details
of the work.

THE WINTER WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS,
Though it is too early in the new year to
form an opinion of the Northwestern grain
crops it is gratifying to note the favorable con-
dition of the Winter wheat. 1t is well known
that the yield of Winter wheat depends very
much on the permanence of it's snow covering
during the intensely cold weather, as without
such protection it's roots are injured. BY the
middle of December the Northwestern Winter
wheat was generally covered by snow, which
the St. Paul Press, Of the 18th ultimo, report
ed had fallen to the depth of ten inches over
large area The mild weather in the third week
in December carried off some of this snow and
exposed the soil to biting blizzards. But on
the 2lst of that month snow again prevailed
in the Northwest, and this fall and the subse-
uuent falls have not been subjected to temper
atures high enough tc melt them. The heavy
snow storm of last Tuesday and Wednesday
also added to the thickness of the covering
over a large area of country west and South OF
the lakes, and Chicago dispatch of the 18th
instant reports that ''wheat is in Il fine condl-
tion, and the snow adds greatly to it's security
and prolnisa' Kansas appears to be the only
State in which the snowfall has been so def
cient as to leave the growing wheat unprotect-
ed, but the fall of Tuesday last in the eastern
part of the State may relieve the situation.
The present prospects for this important crop
are, therefore, good, and there is no reason to
fear that the future developments of the season
will mar them.-Ncm York Herald.

TIE PoRr RoMANcE.-The Marion Mer-
chant and Farmer publishes the following as
the sequel to the Marion county elopement
case the parties to which were discovered in
Geor gia about Il month ago, after an absence
Of eight or nine years: The heart of poor
John G. Smith, Jr., was gladdened on Wednes-
day by the arrival of his two sons about IA
or Is years of age, fine hearty looking Geor-
gia boys. From Smiths account OF the eope-
nent and other facts connected with the case,
il turns out that the most of Ports state
ment is a fancy SKETCH. Ports wife whom he
deserted, died not many months since: The
statement about Smiths beating and abusing
his wife is also contradicted by a number OF
reliable witnesses. Smith did not find out the
whereabouts of Port and his runaway wife un-
til about three weeks since, when he at once
took legal proceedings, the only object OF
which was to secure his two boys. On the
conditions of their return and the return of
the money taken, Smith drops the proceedings
against Port, who will be left to enjoy his
stolen wife unless the local authorities where
he is interfere with him.
