Not Born to be Shot

On the 3rd OF September we publish
ed an account Of the accidental shoot
ing of John Price, colorcd, at McKcn-
zie's mill in this county, few days
previously, by which part of his skull
was blown off and his brain exposed.
There was an dir Of cxaggeraton in the
statement, yet the leading circumstances
Of the affair, as published, were strictly
true and what may seem more aston
ishing, the wounded man is now well
and working regularly in the cottonfield.
Not only was q portion Of his skull
blown off-severcd from the head-but
it is stated as true that at least one third
of his brains spilled OH the ground
where they were left. Tho severed
part Of his head was replaced, and unit
ing, it healed up almost without scar !;
and as a physiological phenomenon, it
is asserted that Notwithstanding the loss
of his brains, he now has more sense
than before the accident.-Y y YorkviIle

Disgrace of Moses.

BOSTON, October 1.-Franklin j.
Moses, Ex-Governor Of South Carolina,
was placed at the bar in the Superior
Court this afternoon to be sentenced for
swindling cx-Mayor Cobb, Fred Ames
and others. His counsel reviewed his
career and urged that he had already
been sufficiently punished, having Just
served year in the House Of Correction
Tor similar oifcnsc. 1t was urged that
the otfrDScs were committed under cir
cumstances Of extreme want and they
could not be called fragrant violations
The defendant was man Of extreme
nervous organization and his imprison-
Tcnt was told upon him. He was so re-
duccd physically that further imprison-
ment would probably prevent him from
ever performing any service. If the
case could be continued for three months
there were prominent gentlemen in
Boston who would procure him sit
uation.
Judge AldIich said it would almost
scem that the court was listening to an
culogy upon man Of high and exalted
character who had fallen into misfortune.
His advantages made his crime so much
the greater, and it would not be Justice
to let men like Mr.. Moses 20 free and
send to prison young men who never had
any advantages, either social or educa-
tional. He did not agree that this was
petty offensc. Noscnsitiye man would be
engaged in such business, and it was time
it was stopped. Mr.. Goodrich urged that
Moses be sent to the Rerormatory Prison
hut Judge Aldrich said he did not think
the Reformatory Prison was made for
graduates of colleges and Governor.
He felt required by every sense Of
propiety and duty to treat it us Sc
rious offense. The Judge then imposed
a sentence of three years in the State
Prison.
Moses seemed dazed by the sentence,
and he was led away by an officer like
little child.

Holiness Meeting.

Last Monday night found us seated
under, the famous rcvivalists, Sam
Jones' tent which was moved from Car
tersville, Ga, to Augusta opposite St.
Johns Methodist Church. The tent is
made of thick heavy canvass and will
seat five thousand people. During the
day the audience is comparatively small
to what there is ut night. At night it
is lighted up with electric lights making
it almcst as light as midday. Around
the tent are found several policemen
and during services the dcnscly crowded
congregation is perfectly quiet. Scrvi-
ccs commence at 7.3O and when that
time arrives and before, there is a con-
tinual rush of people flocking in masses
to secure seats and by $50 every bench
is thickly crowded with pcoylc
listening to what is falling from the lips
Of some of the greatest ministers tho
church can send ont. Among the most
| famous to whom We listened were Revs
Watson Smith, Mcdonald Porter and
others. Among the lady lecturers were
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Inskip. These
| two ladies are the most remarkable wo-
men Of the nineteenth century. Mrs.
lnsk:P is a lady of medium height,
weighs about l75 pounds, hair partially
gray and flowing down in curls behind.
Mrs. Smith is lady Of medium height,
weighs about 1875 pounds and is Of very
fair compleXi light hair flowing down
behind in beautiful curls. Her face is
the most pleasant that the writer has
ever yet beheld, genial and continually
swimming in smiles that seem to fall
direct from heavens door, and her Pc
titions are very earnest and effective.
When she lectures her eyes are con-
tinually lifting themselves heavenward
rs if she was waiting for God to speak
from heaven and answer in words direct
as if ho was human. All who know
her know nothing but to love her If
heaven communicates at all or speaks n
single word to be heard, she must be
| one Of the favoritcs that will hear.
How can the world help but love her,
angelic in her motives and perscvering
in her undertakings.
With such Jealous christians the meet
ing can be nothing but successful. The
