6aock-Down Arguments.

AUGUSTA. GA, Deceuber 11.-An
unpleasant and regretted set-to be-
tween two prominent lawyers in the
City Court this afternoon is a topic OF
considerable talk here tonight. The
parties to the affair were Solicitor q.
Henry Cohen and Mr. Marcellus 2. ros
ter. Mr.. Cohen was prosecuting MIR.
Ed Burnett for assault and battery
upon Nh. Leo Schwarz. Mr.. Foster
represented Burnett. The trouble grew
out Of statement made by Mr.. Cohen
in his argument TO the jury. Some say
Mr.. Cohen said that some lawyers some
times Take advantage ct their privilege
as attorneys ic abusing opposing wit
nesses. Others say Mr.. Cohen used the
word position instead OF privilege. Mr..
Foster, it is said arose and asked Mr.
Cohen if be meant to say that he Cos
teri took advantage Of his privilege in
saving what he had about opposing
witnesses. MIR. Cohen answered him
that lie did, and that ne had measured
his words before he gave utterance to
them, and that he meant exactly what
he said. MIR. Foster therenpon told
Mr.. Cohen he was lisr. Mr.. Cohen
quickly advanced to Mr.. Foster and
struck at him. Mr.. Foster returned
the blow, when officers interfered and
stopped the difficulty. Judge Eve will
have both Mr.. Cohen and Mr.. Foster
appear before him on Monday to an
sWer to a rule for contempt of Court.
No further trouble is apprehended.-

CHAPTER XVII.
TIE ECoSCLCS,ON.

The fight OF Pearson was discovered
BY e;er:.,e-s at an carly hour the next
morning. and little later upon making
4 visit to the bank lie learned of his en-
bezz,,eacnt OF Blatchford's money. He
Immediately teleGaphed in various di-
7ect;cnS hoping to apprehend the rascal,
but i. proved all in vain. Pearson made
scoa his escape.
I'noc returning to Green's as agreed,
Sc7;:s.rs and the doctor found Blatch-
ford in critical condition. The ex-
citemcnt Of the last few days, together
with the mental suffering it had
brought him, had been too much for
him, and now they found him weak and
failing. Dr. Bascom examined the old
man closely, and though he made no re-
port on the case his face became grave
and thoughtful, and those who saw it
felt sure that there was something seri-
Gus in his patients ailment.
Scragss would have avoided telling
what he had discovered that morning,
bot Blatchford insisted on hearing
everything about Pearson, and asked so
many questions regarding him that
Scragcs was eTentually forced to reveal
all he knew.
The old man groaned and gnashed his
teeth, and for a long time said nothing.
Atlast, raising hinselfin bed, he spoke,
looking steadily at his daughter.
Mary" he said, 81 have come to you
at last. but have come as pauper. I
come empty handed, and with nothing
but my poor love to give you. That
which have slaved for, and which of
right was yours, has been stolen from
me by the one I took to my heart in
your stead. turned you from my door
and took Harry Pearson in. I left you
to starve while I lavished money on
him. And now he has robbed me and
left me pcnniless, with no roof but
yours to shelter my head. My punish
ment is great, but it is not more than I
deserve"
For three or four days the broken
hearted old man fingered on, growing
weaker hour by hour in spite OF all DR..
Bascom could do, and at last it became
apparent that deaf, woE.d soon claim
him. The Greens exeEL themselves
to TIE utmost to ua4e his last
hours as pleasant as possible, but

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. ll.-Tbe
South Bound Road is to be completed
into Savannah and Columbia at an early
day. That is the decision arrived at
Yesterday at the meeting of the stock
holders Of the Savannah CONSTRUCTION
Company. The meeting was largely
attended by the resident stockholders
and by several from South Carolina.
President Denmark of the Construction
Company and President Conner OF the
South Bound reported the results OF
their conference with the Northern
stockholders. 1t was decided to increase
the capital stock to 100000. The
new issue will be readily placed, and as
soon as it has been the work OF co1a-
pieting the road as designed by the pro-
iectors will be carried out. The meet
ing WAS an enthusiastic one, and the
hackers of the Magnolia Route showed
plainly that they are determined 10
make it a success. Many OF the large
stockholders here, it is stated, WILL
double their subscription and the bal.
ance will be taken by the South Caro-
lima and Northern members OF the COM
Dany
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1891-12-23

their kindness and unselfsh attentions
augmented rather than diminished his
sorrows, since they only too plainly re-
minded him of the great sin of his life.
He never spoke of his wife during all
his illness, and it appeared that he had
forgotten her. All his talk was OF his
daughter and her mother, and over and
over again he accused himself OF his
neglect of them
Thank God, thank God," he said one
day, Il have been spared to meet my
child and win her forgiveness. Thank
God that am permitted to die under
her roof and with her face near me-"
At last the end came, and the poor
old man who had wrecked his life
through terrible mistake, slept the
sleep of the dead. Whatever his re-
ward beyond the grave, we know not.
He went into the hands Of just God
and his reward was in accordance with
justice and right. He had suffered the
tortures of thousand deaths in those
few days following the terrible awak-
ening 70 the wrongs of his life.
There is not much more to tell, and .
few more pages will end this story.
Paul and Louise were married short
" after the scenes just described, and
set up housekeeping in homo Of thei
own next door to DR.. Bascom's. Pan
went into the old doctors practice, ane
being a kind, sympathetic man, sue,
L.,
self o popular physician. To-day he is
one of the most successful physicians in
the west, and has succeeded in laying
by enough of this worlds wealth to
place his wife and two children, q boy
and girl, above any danger of want.
DR.. Bascom does little practice now,
but ne still takes a great interest in
Pal's work and often spends the even
ings with Paul's family, and he and
Bascom Markham, Paul's boy, are great
friends. Paul and Louise are always
glad to have the old doctor come, and
no matter how often he calls he is sure
Of a smile Of welcome from both Of
them.
Scraggs, true to his resolve, soon
found purchaser for Green's land, and
with the proceeds, which was q neat
little sum, John set up in business at
Magic City. John was anxious to
leave the farm, for though the seasons
became more regular and crop failures
almost unknown, he felt that he was
not designed for farm work, and
his past experience with it gave
him a thorough distaste for it.
In his new occupation he sue
ceeded fairly well, and was in
time quite we'll to do. He regainedhi
old time life and energy, and Mary
became as bright as cheerful as 4 girl.
