Dying Three Times.


Last week Jim Toy, the celestial restau-
ranteur of Lundy, received intelligence
that his cOuntryman and friend, All Wee.
the pioneer laundryman of BennettYille,
was sick unto death. Jim FASTENED to the
bedside of his dying friend, reaching his
destination few minutes before All Wee
expired. After the body became cold
and rigid Jim went up to the board
ing house for his supper, after which
several parties accompanied him back to
the laundryman's shanty-and it is well
they did, for All Wee was up and walking
about, and it required the united strength
of the whole party to get him back to bed
and hold him there. jim remained by his
bedside administering such remedies as
he thought the case required Jim is a
physician, }, but all to no purpose, for just
before daylight next morning All Wee
peacefully breathed his last.
After breakfast Jim had a strong box
constructed in which to transport the
body, by pack mule, to Lundy for inter-
ENTHUSIASTICALLY throughout the fore
noon looking in upon the corpse to see if
he could discover any signs Of returning
animation. So things stood until noon
last Saturday, when Louis Anoit,s pack
train from this place arrived. The body
was then placed in the box and the box
and the burden strapped upon the back
of pack mule.
On reaching the lofty and nearly level
ridge known as Mount Warren divide
Louis hurried up his mules. The one
with the corpse began to trot, and the
corpse" began to groan. Louis thought
at first it was the mule, and still his hat
showed disposition to crawl upon top of
his head. He stopped the mule. The
groans became more audible. Then
Louis eyehalls crawIed out on his cheeks,
took look at his ears, and tried to climb
up under his hat. All Wee was alive
again.
He was brought to town, placed in COM
Portable quarters, and appeared to be con-
yalescing until II O'Clock Monday after
noon, when 'Melican physician and an
undertaken, among many others, looked
in upon him, when All Wee turned his
face TO the wall and died again-this time
for keeps. He was buried Tuesday after
noon with imposing ceremonies of the
Chinese kind.

Throughout the Country.

hepOrIs HhAch Tell OF the Wages War
Throughout the Country.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Last Friday the
members of the International Union of
Cigar makers to the number 200 notified
the manufacturers of this city of their re-
fusal to work along side the members of
the Progressive Union, a rival organiza-
ton. The manufacturers at once signed
an agreement to shut their doors this
morning against the internationalists, but
only thirteen stood by the compact, and
as a consequence only about $50 work
men were shut out.
READING, PA, Dec. 3.-The striking
nail workers held meeting to-day and
resolved 10 stand out against any reduc-
ton. They say that the proposed reduc-
tlon Will reduce their wages to within 9
per cent. of the lowest figure ever reached,
which was in 1878, and that there has
been no decrease in the market price of
nails. There are about 100 nailers, 100
feeders and 2Ofurnace men on both turns
Inc wages heretofore paid ranged from
$40 to $50 for nailers and $50 for feeders

WINNIPEG, MAN, Dec. "a general
reduction mas been made in the wages of
the employees of the Canada Pacific Rail-
way. To-day the boiler makers struck,

frequent repairs to the engines. 1t is
thought probable that a compromise will
be made.

One-half dozen of your Cherokee Reme-

left them playing in her room while she
wentto the grocery store. When she return

that the fire was caused by one of the
children upsetting a lamp during their
mothers absence. The fire spread so
rapidly that fOrty-seyen families, who
were crowded together in the rickety
building, had barely time to make their
escape with their lives, and little furni-
ture was saved. The total loss is about

THE RICE CROP.

Inefficient Labor.

inefficient Labor.
GEORGETOWN, Nov. 29.-I'O the Editor
Of the Ne,cs and Courier: Various arti-
cles in the Savannah and Charleston pa
pers, speaking of the rice crops, attribute
the failure of the crop now being market
ed and others to the season, and say moth
ing about the '.labOr." The seasons are
very much what they have always been,
and have very little to do with the con-
tinuOus bad crops; the "labor" is to
blame for most of the failures. In this
county there Is not a single field. small or
large. in the condition that such gentle
men as Col. J. J. Ward, Mr.. +. NJ. Wes-
ton, Mr.. Chas. Aston and other success
ful rice planters would have accepted as
fit to make full crops, and this we state
without fear of contradiction. The
trunks. banks, bitches and canals are all
out of order, and why? Simply because
the proper work cannot be got or will not
be done on them.
We pay large wages. a full ''hand'' re-
ceives about $1S7 30, and ifhe or she be in
dustrious can make from $50 to $50 more by
extra work, making the cost of planting
an acre of rice say $25. What "labOrer'
calls days work is done in from three
to five hours, but should be seven TO nine

rowing, trenchiug, sowing, hOeing, har-
vesting and every other field operation is
of the most slOYenly character, Substan-
tiating much that a Farmer had to say,
though he might have made some
mi stakes in his statistics. There
is plenty of "labOr" in the country
the question is how to utilize it? How
to use the negro as an agricultural la
bOrer the work for which he seemed to
be created with particular adaptation to
hot and malarial countries. Fanatical
philanthropy spoiled a very excellent ar
ticle, and has not and never will find a
substitute.
In 1860 the crop of Georgetown county
was 1900 pounds per acre. In 1883 the
crop Will not be more than 500 pounds

shire Horror Fully COrrObOrated.
LACONIA, n. H., Dec. S.-Murderer
Samon has broken down and confessed to
the Sheriff. He said that he killed Mrs.
Ford at 8 O'Clock Saturday morning,
that he did not attempt to outrage her,
and that she was killed in a drunken
squabble. She showed signs of life for
about ten minutes, and he made several
attempts to bring her to life. Failing, he
became frightened and chopped the BODY
into pieces and put it into the trunk and
started off to dispose of it. He carried it
to Ruddy's house, where he was some
what acquainted. He left the trunk in
front of the house, where it remained two
hours. He took it into the house about
dark and during the night became ner-
yous and could not sleep. When it was
near morning, and he had had no oppor-
tunity to dispose of the body. he con-
cluded to kill the Ruddy family and burn
the house, thereby destroying the evidence
of his guilt. Samon says that he alone
committed the murder.
