The Romance of a Young Texan
Whom q Generals Daugh-
ter Discarded.
Washington Post.

An interesting romance, to which
his untimely death form tragic
conclusion, was connected with Rob
ert G. Fly, who was shot and killed
at Hundo City, Texas, last Tuesday.
He was son of a wealthy mine
owner, Major Fly. At San Antonio.
Texas, young Fly fell in love with
Miss Ord. the daughter of the late
General Ord, and they became en-
gagged to be married. But General
Ord sent his daughter to enter the
postgraduate class at the George
town Convent. When this season
of probation drew to close, as he
imagined, young Fly came to this
city, impatient to claim his bride.
UponN his arrival every one was
struck with his manly figure. He
was tall and handsome and possess
ed dashing air, which, though a
little nonchalant from his southern
and western training, rendered him
immensely popular.
He was doomed to bitter disap-
pointment, however. A sorrow await
ed hinr which overcast the rest of
his life and indirectly led to his
tragic fate. Immediately upon reach
ing Washington he went to the con
vent in quest of the object of his
love, but he was informed that the
young lady was not there. The sis
ter superior told him that they had
received letters addressed to Miss
Ord, but they had not seen her. The
young man was rendered almost wild
with anxiety; he was involved in a
mystery which he could not explain.
He searched in every direction and
wrote letters, but to no avail. After
few months spent restlessly in this
city he went back to Texas, carry
ing with him likeness of his lost
betrothed "a very beautiful young
LADY,, which he wore in locket
about his neck, and which he proba-
bly, never parted with during his
life.
In Texas his search ended. Miss
Ord was there, but he found her at
the marriage altar. She became the
bride of the Mexican, Gen. Treyino,
and her discarded lover lost all de-
sire to live.

The Whisky Car Abandoned.

There has been a remarkable fall
ing of IN the receipts of the South
ern Express Company since the
whisky car from Charlotte to dry
points on the Charlotte, Columbia d
Augusta Railroad has been cut off.
1t used to be regular thing to see
the express wagon move off from the
Office in this city with top load of
jugs, demijohns and kegs, carefully
packed in straw and the shoppers Sc
cured with big hunks of red sealing
wax to keep the express messengers
from letting the air get to the con-
tents, all marked to towns along the
G. G. d. A., that had raised the black
flag against the ardent. On arriv-
ing at these towns, this whisky put
up in packages was sold out of the
express offices as c. o. d. matter.
This dodge had long and success
full run. and it gave to people who
witnessed the daily shipments of the
stuff the impression that our neigh
bors down south of us either had a
lot of snake bites to contend with,
or else were mighty dry set. The
prohibitionists, however, got to work
ing on the business, and soon put an
end to it. 1t was sharp dodge to
ship liquor TO customer in pro.
hibitlon town, where the sale of it is
prohibited, for the express agent to
deliver the package C. 0. D., and
the matter being brought to the at
tentlon of the courts, q decision was
rendered that this was not evading
or circumventing the law, but violat-
ing it, and notice was given that If
the business was continued at the
old stand" indictments would follow.
The traffic was in full force when the
law shut down on it, and in some of
the express offices there's piles of
jugs and demijohns slowed away in
corners waiting for the blockade to
raise.-Charlotte Observer.
II such was violation of the law
in N. c., why shouldn't it be in Ar
kansas. 1t is poor law indeed that
is so loosely framed or so wanting In
scope or directness as to permit such
easy whipping of the devil around
the stump as is now practiced be-
tween Little Rock and the towns up
the Fort Smith road. An earnest
effort should be made to arrest this
jug business, if possible.

protect the poorer classes, falls by
its excessive exemption clauses to
protect anybody but the merchants
and money lenders. Or rather. these
classes, having no protection extend
ed to them by the laws, exact it from
their debtors by means of the mort
gage. A large homestead and a
greater amount in value than fall to
the lot of nineteen men out of twen-
ty being exempted from sale or ex-
ecution, the merchant is compelled,
in self-defense, to exact from the far
mer mortgage on growing crops,
stock, etc. The merchant says to
the farmer who comes to him for
supplies. II must have security.
The State exempts you in larger
amount than your own and leaves
me to protect myself. Therefore, /
must, in self defense, exact the mort
gage" What is the result Of 1t? The
farmer is tempted to buy more than
he needs, while the merchant doing
business on long credit, is compelled
10 charge excessive prices. The hab-
it of going in debt and of buying in
excess of what is needed is incul-
Gated. while high prices for goods
and excessive rates of interest on
money are the inscparable concomit-
ants of the vicious system. Will the
farmers of Arkansas never get out of
it? They will when the excessive
and unreasonable exemption clauses
are stricken from our constitution,
when debtor and creditor are placed
on an equal footing before the laws.
Not till then.-Arkansa Democrat.

Testing Furman's Intensive Sys-
tenn.
Charlotte Observer.


A good deal has been said in our
columns lately about the intensive
system of farming pursued by Mr..
Parish Furman, of Georgia, and in a
trip to Cabarrus county the first
part of this week, this writer saw a
practical demonstration Of its won
derful results. Mr.. Erwin Harris, a
young farmer of Poplar Tent, be-
came interested in the accounts of
Furman's intensive system and con-
cluded to try it. He selected an
acre of ground which he planted in
cotton after Furman's plan. He put
on this acre Of ground 200 pounds
of compost. The early season was
had and the cotton did not get a
good stand, but, this fact to the con.
trary Notwithstanding, he will make
full three bales from this one acre.
The cotton is neck high to man
and there are from so to rs bolls to
the stalk. Mr.. Harris never hoed
the cotton, but ran q plow through
it once or twice. 1t required little
or no labor to cultivate it. He Is so
well pleased with the result that
next year he will, he says, cultivate
as much land as his means will al
low under this intensive system. 1t
is simply wonderful and with these
practical results before their eyes,
it will not be long until all our far
mers are pursuing Furman's method.

The Boy that Wears a Watch.

The boy that wears a watch is an
important character At school he
is envied and on the street he is re-
spected. None of the BOYS grab him
and throw him down, for they might
break his time-keeper. He has q
way Of twisting the chain when he
talks, and Of looking at his watch
when he hears railroad train, and
saying twelye-ten, or six-five, OF
elght.sixteen. The other boys stand
around and regard him with admira
ton. He grows up and probably
goes to college with distinguished
air, but IN few years he pawns his
watch with man who, as boy Of
ten stood around and admired it,

A MASHER MASHED.

Drummer at the Hands of q
Young Lady of fSavannah, GeOr-
gia, whose Acquaintance He
Sought Improperly.
SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 10.
A cowhiding scrape, in which a
bewitching brunette of the upper
ten thousand played the leading role,
created a veritable sensation in the
city to night. She had been annoy
ed by several notes from man sup.
posed to be commercial traveller
for New York house. and upon the
advice of a gentleman friend grant
ed the unknown correspondent the
privilege of calling at her home. Not
anticipating trap the stranger ap-
peared tonight, and had hardly
gained the parlor when he asked the
lady's company for stroll. Accept
ing the invitation she left the house,
but had not proceeded half block
when the gentleman who had con-
cocted the plot passed her and hand
ed her a heavy cowhide. Without a
word of warning she suddenly com
menced slashing her insulter across
the face with the whip, and before
he could realize the situation he was
streaming With blood, and had both
eyes nearly closed. His attempted
apology only drew forth more blows
and he finally took to his heels. The
lady appeared not the least overcome
by the excitement, and regained hel
home before the family were aware
of what was going on. Had the
classified dude fallen into the hands
of the lady's brother he would in al
probability have met with dose o.
cold lead. Efforts are making to fer
ret out the man, and ii successful
further sensational developments
may be looked for.
