An Anderson Romance.

CokUMmA, s. c., Jan.-A rather inter-
cstihg story with basis Of fact, was
brought to Columbia today by a travelling
man from Charleston. He told it in this
way: Last Sunday on my way To North
Carolina met an interesting gentleman on
the train whom subsequent events showed
10 be q dc,Huty sheriff. He had letter
from Col. ID: Fl. Tompkins, private sccre-
tary to Gov Tillman. The latter promised
that rcquistion on the Governor of North
Carolina would be sent on. as there was no
time to make out that document aud delay
might block the game. The deputy sheriff
was named Green, and he was from Adder
son. AS soon as we got into conversation
he called my attention to two very pretty
young ladies who exhibited some interest
IN the deputy, rs he and they were from
Anderson. He asked that nothing should
be SAID other than in the way of ordinary
conversation. Previously 10 this he said
That he was on the way to North Carolina
III pursuit OF young man named Morris,
VINO had illegally disposed of six bales Of
G0llon co.. and accused of burning a gin house.
The deputy found out that Morris had fled
to place about seven miles from Ru,her-
fordton, and was working with a man
named Winsnant, well known to the COM
mcrclal men from Charleston. The depu-
ty went to Rutherf0rdton, and setting out
at night captured Morris in bed, and took
him to Anderson, his real name it is
said being Williams.
The two young ladies, the deputy said ,
from subsequent information, were also
looking for Morris, alias Williams, but for
different purpose, and it appears to be
certain that they knew where lie was.
they got off the rain at Henrietta station,
about twelve miles from Ruthcrforon, but
as noted the deputy sheriff got the young
man i1rst. 1t is said that one of the young
ladies is engaged to Morris; that he had
left the proceeds of the cotton sale with
her, and that she was going OH to meet
him, return the money and be married. II
Is not believed that the young lady knew
anything of the manner in which the mon
cy was obtained.

THE CHANGES.

lhere Is something in the Bible about
Ilkc this: "Old things have passed away,
behold all things have become ncw,"
lrue. There comes a time in every mans
iie that hc realizes change in some way
or other. In fact there is a change in cy-
cry living thing upon the face of tho Garth
"t some time or other. And yet how
strange that so few of us realize it. Evory
gay, hour and minute that we live, We un-
dergo process of change or development,
which, though Gnobscryrd or roticcl nv
us, makes us different in some respect.
Nature is sufficient to teach us that Father
lime Is no rcspcctcr of persons. and tha
sooner or later the final change will come
upon us. When VIC look around we see dc.
Vclopments and changes, which for a mo-
ment seem to startle.:or surprise us, yet in O
short time they arc passed and forgotten.
LOW many can recount the changes that
have occurred in the last twelve months;
Pleasant rccolcctions creep into the minds
Oh some; and there have been changes tha,
brought joy, cheer and comfort to Them
and will be remembered through MANY
years, and with some as long as life lasts
And in times Of rcvcrses, disasters and
disappointmcnts, the pleasant rccollcctions
OF the past bring feeling of relief and
cheers the languid spirit. There are others
who have no remembrance of the changes
of the year, except to bring remorse, Bit
tcrneSs and the pangs of anguish. l,
sometimes makes us sad to think of these
things. yet it Is always profitable. Let us
look into our own lives and see if there
has been any change or DEVELOPMENT that
We regret, and THAT was brought about by
some lmprudcnt act on our part Let us
look into the lives, as far as possible, of
our ncighbors and friends, and see if any,
thing has happened to them through -any
thoughtlcss or careless act on our part. If
we find that we have been at fault. let lis
remember ard profit by it, There arc very
few of us but who could make an improve
mcnt during this year. We can raise up n
iallcn brother here and there, cheer the
low spirited, contribute to the necessities
of the poor and visit the afflicted in their
trials and bcrcavcmcnts There arc many
things that we could do for those not quite
SO fortunate to make us feel good indeed.
we ought not to live as though we expect
ca to take with us from this world every
thing. SO then let us watch the moments
as they fly, and try to make change this
year lhat Will not be regretted by us in
years to come.

crnor's dilemma.
| About the timo the free pass agitation
was made interesting hy the discovery that
GOV. Tillman had accepted one, somebody
had the hardihood to ask him where he had

he had only run down to Ninty Six to hold
Il conference concerning some cattle with
John lrby. 1t later developed that the

cream OF his rhetorical fights frcuuc ntly

Another horn of the dilemma-whch by
the way, has rs many horns as a Savannah

Correct You Are.

The Orangcburg correspondent of State
SENDS the following: at can now be prov
Ga, beyond doubt, that while the Hon.
=. W stokes, during the recent contest be-
t"ccn the Alliance and tho Jutc Trust, was
so strenuosly urging the members OF the
Alliance, through the Cotton Plant and on
the husings, to use only cotton bapcine,
ne himself was using jutc baggng." If
the contest of 1889 is the one to which ref.
ercnce is made it is simple justice to say
That MIR. Stokes did not own or edit the
Cotton Plant at that time, and had nothing
whatever to do with the advice given in its
columns. He might have used iutc bag
glng, but the other part of the statement Is
evidently mistake. MIR. Stokes was chos.
cn President of the State Alliance after he
purchased the Cotton Plant in $780,

A Good HIckef.

A correspondent of the State suggests
the following State ticket which is a good
one:
For Govcrnor-Wadc Hampton, South
Carolina.
Lieutenant Governor--L. w. Youmans
Barnwell.
Secretary of State-W. II. Davie, of
Chester.
Trcasurer-D. +. Bradley, of Pickens.
Comptroller Gencal-Etlward w. John
son, of Florence.
Attorney General. Knox Livingston
of Marlboro.
Adiutant and Inspector Gencral-T. A.
Huguenin, of Charleston.
Superintendent of Education-E. H.
Aull, of Newbcrry.
General Hampton led the people out of
the wilderness In '76, and he can do it the
second time. To show the love he had for
his people, he said: 81 had rather be Gov
ernor of this State than be President of
the United States" Is there gentleman
IN South Carolina but what believes he
spoke the truth?

BREVARD. N g. Ion I

BEEvARD, N. c., Jan. 16, 1892.
Last Friday while j. j. Shipman, ESQ.,,
was arranging for trial before his court
two L. >. deputy marshals appeared on
the streets, and succeeded in arrcstng a
young man who was wanted in South Car
orina Tor some violations, both Of State
and United States law and leaving his
bondsmcn. Soon after the arrest they left
for Pickens, S. G. Then the race began.
Sheriff Hart with a posse, I suppose. of
twenty-five men started in pursuit of the
officers to rescue the prisoner. Finding
them only short distance from town, they
succeeded in releasing the prisoner, claim
ing he was wanted for witness i'm Bre-
ward, so he was turned foot-loose. Then
the officers left, suppose, for their homes.
soon warrants were issued for the arrest of
the South Carolina officers, and posse
started i'll hot pursuit accompanied by the
prisoner They soon succeeded in captur-
ing one OF them, and later on found the
others horse hitchcd by the roadside. The
reads being muddy and the scarcity of
horses, suppose, compelled the Brcvard
sharpsh0otcrs to capture the horse and
bring him back to Brcvard. The u. S. Of
hccr was bound over to appear today at
noon Tor trial, also the prisoner as prosccu-
Tor or the marShals, but he had taken leg
bail, leaving no witness to testify as to his
innocence, and since that time he has been
making himself very scarce about Brcvard.
Today the u. S. marshal answered for
trial, and was released on condition that he
would safely carry back to the other u. s.
marsha! and deliver to the said marshal the
said horse in good condition, and hereafter
and forever hold his peace. / was inform
cd by tho U. $. officer that the State offi-
GERS sad after he was released, that if he
did not take the horse there would he an
other warrant issued and he would be
placed in jail.
There is something rotten in Denmark
somewhere. The gag law court should
meet and have all the parties arrested and
convicted of man-slaughter in the first de-
gree, and cruelty to both man and beast,
and put to work on the streets of Brcvard
for the next sixty days, and the first pris-
oncr arrested the privilege of guarding the
whole crew. Il PLURBUs UNUM.
In publishing all account of this affair
last week, the name of II. j. Lewis was
mentioned, when it should have been Ern-
est Lewis Ed.

The Spade Which Broke the First Earth
for the Hennepin Canal and Which Is OF
Historical Value.
Enclosed in a glass case in the show
window of Sickles. Preston. Nutting Co..
says the Davenport Times, is an historic
spade. for it Is the one used in turning
the first spsdeful of dirt in the consiruc-
ton of the Hennepin canal.
1t will be remembered that on the
return from that imp ,rtant trip, COM
mittee was appointed TO have the spade
suitably inscribed for presentation to the
national government as q souvenir of the
commencement OF this great waterway.
The spade used WAS one taken from the
stock in his store by Mr. Nutting, and il,
was regarded 30 highly after inaugurat-
ing the Hennepia canal that an offer of
$500 was msde for it oya gentleman who
had attended the cermonv.
It was decided, however, that the
proper thing to DO would be to present it
to the government. 1t is more than an or>
din.ry spade nov, both in appearance
and tradition. The blade, originally OF
solid steel, has received coating OF sill
yer, While the handle is now polished
ebony. The inscription. which is in gold
lettering, reads as follows:
illinois snd Mississippi Canal. With
ihis spade on July 10. 1892, the first
earth was thrown in the construction OF
the Illinois and Mississippi canal. 1t is
presented TO the United States as me-
