Sheriff stands to the left, and as he
brings the lash down each time the
deputy counts aloud. The cat-o'-nine
tails is not laid on heavily, blood is
never drawn sufficiently to run, and the
Sheriffs, as rule, are very lenent,
Nearly every blow of the leather thongs
makes n welt, especially upon. white
men, aud the Sheriff distributes the cuts
over the entire back. When twenty
lashes are given, no matter how gently
laid on, the victims back is in very
tender condition when the operation is
over. The last blow is, as rule, the
hardest, and generally surprises the
victim. who imagines that he is getting
off easily.
Black men pay the least attention to
the whipping, and it is not an uncom-
mon thing for them to jump and kick
their heels, ask for chew OF tobacco,
crack joke, or laugh MS they are led
back to their cells. With the the whites
it is different They squirm great deal,
and frequently give vent to emphatic ex-
CARNATIONS. The crowd of spectators is
ready to laugh at any semblance OF lev
ity on the part of the prisoners, and tho
one who has enough grit to crack joke
after his punishment is repaid by the
greeting Of the crowd. The last to be
whipped are the men in the pillory, if
any there be. They suffer the most.
their backs and limbs having become
, stiffened by standing in one position.

"Some of our scientists, who examin,

nounco oleomarearinc. under that test,

when made from clean beef or pork fat
oleomargarine is rendered at a tempera-
ture not exceeding 1s0 degrees. This
is practically raw animal fat, and how
few s.omhchs there are which can d.
gest raw suet or pork fat When we
eat tallow and lard in the ordinary d.
ctary they are cooked, but oleomarga-

Dairy Commissioner of New York,
makes the following statement in this
connection: I'VE have made expert
mcnts in the department of the New
York State dairy commission in which
we show that oleomargarine will not
dissolve and liquefy in any human
stomach in its usual and ordinary tenn
perature. 1t is indigcstible and no or.
ticle that is indigestiblc is wholesome.
No microscopic can, with microscope
or with tho naked eye, discover indi-
gestibility. The manufacturers of oleo-
margarine have never attempted to an

In Three Acts.

A certain young lady went out last
Wednesday morning to make some calls.
On her way she met friend, who sug-
gested that she should go to the matt
nee with him. She accepted the invi-
tation and he bought the tickets. At
tho end of the first act he proposed to
her. She refused. thinking he was only
joking. When the curtain went down
for the second act he renewed the pro-
posal and SO earnestly that she asked
time to consider it which was willingly
given. When the third act had finished
she softly murmured, eyes" After the

The London Pail Mall Gazette SAYS
that memorial window has just been
completed for the chapel of the Bristol
Royal infirmary, to put on permanent
record the heroism of a young surgeon
in that institution, Mr.. William Conn or
Lysaght, who sacrificed his life in a
case Of diphthcria. The patient had
submitted to the operation of tr ache
otomy, and, after the tube had been
fixed, the throat became so clogged
that, despite all the efforts Of the facul-
ty, it could not be cleared to admit of
respiration. 1t was a case of life or
death in few moments he must have
died. Young Lysaght, forgetful of
himself. at once placed his lips to the
tube, removed the obstruction and gava
the sufferer relief, though only for a
time. Lysaght soon found that by his
hazardous deed he had infected his own
throat, and, to the intense grief OF his
friends, his noble act caused his death.

Claude Stephens, young white man,
from Central, in Pickens county, fell
from the top of a car going from Atlanta
to Charlotte, Saturday morning, and was
fatally injured. He was employed as
tlagman.
On Thursday evening l.. w. Hill, of
Orange county committed suicide by
hanging himself. The only cause that
can be assigned for the suicide is aberra-
ton of the mind. 1t is not known that
Hall had any financial trouble. He was
sixty four years of age, was highly es-
teemed and was an influential farmer.
Week before last, DIR. H. S. Keith of
Coleraine, died and was buried. 1t was
believed that there was foul play in the
case. Public feeling grew so high that
there was demand for disinterment of
the body and post mortem examination.
The grave was opened, and the cask ct
was lifted out. 1t was found to contain
no body, only some brick and pieces OF
wood. What became of the body, OF
whether there was burial, is a profound
secret.
There is great excitement in HYDE
county by violation of the new oyster
laws by non-residents from Virginia.
Trespassers upon states oyster bed have
also come from other states. Thirty
vessels have been trespassing upon the
oyster grounds at one time. A thousand
bushels of oysters can be removed in one
| day. The oyster rocks of Pamlico sound
are extensive, but at this rate, they will
be entirely exhausted, and consequently
oyster planting in North Carolina will be
suspended.
