The Garden Seed business is being well
done and we'll pushed this season, and we
are taking lively hand. Prices are cut
down pretty close, and each dealer is vieing
with the other to see who can come the
nearest selling them for nothing. The
main thing to be considered is to be sure
YOU ret them from a reliable man, who
buys from reliable growers, and has fresh
Seed We have already made our second
order this season, and are in the market to
stay and see it out
We handle Landreth's Seed exclusively,
get the best prices and discounts, and can
compete with anybody-eYen Landreth
himself. This is big talk, but We mean
business, aud if you don't believe 1t try us
and him, and we save you the freight.
We invite men who peddle Seed through
the country to bring their quotations to us,
and ne guarantee to duplicate any prices
they may have from any reliable house
anywhere, and We save them the freight.
This proposition applies also to merchants
throughout the County. we handle none
but fresh Seed, with the date printed on
each package, and we mean business. we
buy as cheap as anybody, We are satisfied
with as little profit as anybody, and viii
sell as cheap as any body. So don't tai! TO

a Shocking Scandal.

AUGUSTA, GA, Feb. 2O.-Last Friday
night 9 young couple arrived at the Au.
gusta Hotel and registered .as : Mr.. and
Mrs. W. W. Thomas, foreman Western
Union Telegraph Company" Mr..
Thomas had been employed by the Tele.
graph Company to build line on the
Three C's Road, and he came to Augusta
to make q settlement with Superintendent
Brenner. Mr.. Thomas remained with his
wife at the hotel until yesterday, when he
was visited by Proprietor Doolittle with 8
request for his board. He then took his
wife to private boarding house and told
her to remain there until Friday, tt he
was going off for few days. Last night,
after Thomas left the boarding house, his
wife sent for gentleman whom she
knew at Blacks, S. O., her former home.
The gentleman visited the ladj-, and she
informed him Of the suspicious acts of
her husband, whom she had run away
with and married last Sunday week
ago, at Grover, N. O., the Rev. T. M.
Mullinax performing the ceremony. The
kind. hearted gentleman then informed
the lady of the character of the boarding
house She was in, and had her removed
back to the hotel. In the meantime it
was found out that Thomas had another
wife and one or two children living at
Goldsboro, NC. The unfortunate young
girl is Miss Sallie Tolbert, and is of good
family at Blacks, s. @. She is quite
pretty and feels mortified at her marriage
to such man, and she returned home
this afternoon, having been enabled to
do 80 through b the courtesy oftwo Angus
ia gentlemen. Thomas is supposed to
have left Augusta this morning to join a
circus. He is an ordinary looking man,
and while here pawned his annual pass
over the Three C's Road to barkeeper
for one dollars worth of drinks. Efforts
are being made to have him arrested,
and if caught he will be prosecuted for

a Woman Horrible Death.

: a white woman named Linda Williams
was burned to death on the place of
James Langley, in Saluda Township,
last Thursday. The unfortunate woman's
death, which was a peculiarly horrible
one, was the result of her own careless
ness. Thursday afternoon the woman
was out in an old field on the place burn.
ing brush for a clearing. In one place
the fire had caught the dry grass and was
spreading. Hastily the woman attempted
to put out the little blaze BY stamping on
itwith her feet. Instead Of the blaze
being extinguished it caught her dress,
and in q few moments her garments were
enyeloping sheets of fame. Before help
could reach her the wretched woman was
burned SO severely that she died. Linda
Williams was widow ofabout 66 years.
She was we'll known throughout the Bet
tlement where she lived as an industrious
and hard working woman. Two children
survive her, Greenvilze Neaos.

One Woman Married to Another.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 18.-The little
village of Clermont Mills is excited over
the reported marriage by Catholic
priest Of Catherine Beall, a young girl, to
Miss Hannah Colder, the daughter of an
ex.County Commissioner. The singular
ceremony is said to have been performed
in September by the Rev. j. Alfons
Frederick, pastor of ST. Mary's Church of
Clermont Mills. The license was obtain
ed in Baltimore last May by Father
Frederick, but nothing vas known of the
marriage until q few days ago. On
Tuesday of last week both girls, who had
been living st home, disappeared. Miss
Beall's father made inquiries and then
discovered the startling relationship that
existed between her and Miss Colder.
Yesterday he came to Baltimore and
placed the matter into the hands of Mar
shal of Police Frey. Miss Beall is pretty
and yivacious, and her motive in consent.
ing to such ceremony is mystery. Miss
Colder, it is said, wore an ulster on the
evening the marriage MAS performed, and
Father Frederick took her to be q man.
She is 35 years ofage, slim, and wears her
hair short.

The Clerks to Get the Fees.

The Maryland Court of Appeals, at
Annapolis to-day (Monday), decided
a number of cases argued at the
present term. in all of which written
opinions were filed. These included
the cases of the State of Maryland
VS.. James A. Davis, clerk of the Cir
cult Court for Cecil county, involving
the marriage-iicense law, and to test
the right of the clerk to retain the
whole or one-half of every marriage
license fee. Under the old law the
marriage tax was $3.50, of which
amount fifty cents was retained by
the clerk as compensation for his
labors in issuing the license and keep
ing the record. The residue was
turned into the State treasury.
Two marriage-license bills were
passed in 1856, both placing the tax
of 81. One is known as chapter 261
and the other as chapter 497. Both
WSlC uppfONCu Wy tlIO oVfOllioi at
the same time. Under the former
the clerk was to receive so cents, the
balance to 90 to the State treasury,
but chapter 497 provides "that the
clerk of the court shall receive 81 for
every license issued as aforesaid and
for the performance of the other
duties required by this act"
The Court of Appeals, through
Judge Irving, affirms the Judgment
of the lower court, holding that
chapter 497. passed three days after
chapter 261, is the law, and that. AS
additional duties were placed on the
clerk, the Legislature intended to in
crease his fees. The decision will
effect the State to the extent of from
$4,000 to 5000, which will have to
he refunded to the clerks who have
during the two years paid into the
treasury what they considered to be
the States portion of the marriage
tax.
