THE SEVEN WISE MEN.

installed last Saturday night:
E. Arcnon.-J. W. Wingard.

Recording Scribe-George E. Ross.
Financial Scribe-John Lynch.
Inspector General'-A. j. Wadell.
Herold-George N. Marks
Warder-George Sheetz
Sentinel-Mat Madison.
This is a secret benevolent order established
in Persia long before the coming of Christ
The order is only twenty-three years old in
the United States. but is already one Of the
most powerful secret orders in the eastern
States. This lodge is the first established in
this city or in the state and as it starts out
with fourty members it will undoubtedly ere
long take front rank among the secret benev-
Olent orders.
Ephor Frank Marks, installed the officers
last Saturday night. At present the order
occupies the hall with the A. 0. U. W., but
as soon as Aldrich & Browns new building
is finished they will occupy that hall along

POLICE COURT.

The late rains are having a good effect OIL
all sorts of business, and the police court is
no exception The harvest in that field was
unusually fine. The variety WAS great, EN-
bracing the whole range of misdemeanors,
from Migrants up to violators of the liquor
laws, and the proceeds footed up Sl20. The
reporter happened into the court about 3
o'clock p. m. The court was picture of
rare interest. About twenty loungers sat or
stood around, and four or five police were
inside the railing. On the row Of chairs
usually occupied by accused parties, sat two
colored women and two white. The case
pending was against Mrs. Katie Miller for
keeping a ihouse of ill-shape. There we're
seven or eight witnesses on either side, and
the court was conducting the thing on highly
dignified principles. Mrs. Miller Is white
woman, though not so very white either, and
her daughter, a big, soft lump of a female
about % sat near her, and had only a few
minutes before pleaded guilty to prostitu-
ton. The police pulled the den on Sunday
night, and besides the old lady and her
daughter, took two men.
The police swore to some bad things they
had seen and heard, that made the water
tank blush, but didn't move the old lady a
particle Their colored neighbor told some
hard stories. and altogether the case looked
tough The two men who were taken at the
house could not help Mrs. Miller out much,
and after hearing al the judge said he could
not help finding her guilty, and accordingly

From The Athens (Ga.l Bonner Waterman.
Mr.. Asbury, the manager of jim Smiths
dogs, informs us that some OF the cOnVicts,
when they escape, put something on their
feet to keep the dogs from tracking them.
1t is mixture OF different kinds of herbs,
and viii make the dogs very sick for
awhile, but as soon as they get over it
they will follow the track With great
deal more vigOr than before. This is an
old trick learned by negroes be-
fore the war to keep dogs from track
ing them, but it never did them much
good. Mr.. Asbury has his dogs well
trained, and at given signal they will
hunt for the track of the escaped convict.
In the days OF slavery a pack OF negro
dogs were worth a great deal of money
Mr.. Ralph Harden, of South Carolina,
mad one of the finest packs in the South,
and often went into North Carolina and
Georgia to catch runaway negroes or an
escaped murderer. Mr.. Harden's dogs
have often run a track that had been
made "a hours previous.

A Horrible Death.

From the Lunpbia (GG.l Independent.
On Tuesday afternoon q negro man
named Thomas Richards was killed under
the following circumstances: Tom was
quite an old man, and is said to have been
between 70 and so years of age. For the
past two years he has been employed at
Grimes mill, and assisted in ginning and
packing cotton. On Tuesday cotton had
been placed in the screw box, and when
everything was ready Tom was instruct
ed TO loosen the levers used in packing
the bale OF cotton. He did not succeed in
doing the work quick enough, and Mr..
Fred Usher stepped forward and, taking
hold of the lever, told the old man to step
aside. Tom stepped behind Mr.. Usher,
who had released the levers, and as they
swung around with lightning like rapidity
one OF them struck the negro fearful
blow upon the side of the head, knocking
him liteless to the ground and cutting of
one Of his ears. Mr.. Usher thinks that in
trying to get beyond the reach of the le-
vers Tom stumbled, and was struck be-
fore he could recover himself and move
beyond the track Of the lever. AS soon as
possible the old man was carried to his
home, and q physician summoned. He
did not survive more than an hour, and,
although the skull was not fractured, the
blow was sufficient to cause his death.
Tom was a faithful old man, and was for
merly slave in the Fort family.
