MORE OF THE BARRETT GANG
An Atlanta Whiskey Dealer Swindied

An Atlanta Whiskey Dealer Swindied
and the Swindler
Special to TIL State.
SPARTANBURG, S. c., Oct. 26.-Some
months ago a man at Saluda. N. C..
ordered OF A. l.. Dunn of Atlanta $3.50
worth of fine whiskey. He represent
ed himself as very wealthy, and got
a testimonial as to his commercial
standing from Deputy Marshal John
Fisher. 1t was sooon found that the
man was irresponsible, and was not
even whiskey dealer. Most of the
whlskey was recovered, and now the
man who bought it, w. B. Rhoel, is
under arrest for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. 1t is believed he
Is G member of the gang who have been
systematically swindling so extensively
in this county.
John Fisher was also bound over to-
day on u similar charge. Ono of tho
witnesses gave away the secret by
which they have been able TO retain
many of the articles after the fraud
was discovered. They would buy a
typewriter, a piano, a sewing machine,
farm machinery and all manner of
merchandise, and when the attorneys
Tor these firms would Investigate they
would lind the goods covered by mort
Cages, or in the other hands of in
nocent purchasers, to all appearances.
1t was worked in this way. They
would draw a mortgage and get the
mortgagor and supposed mortgage,
in the presence of u bona fide disin-
terested witness. Then a roll of
money would pass, and the man who
received the money would count it
aloud over and over until the desired
amount was called. The witness
would suppose that it was a straight
transaction. Then the money would
be returned and be ready for the next
transaction. When the sellers came
to look after the property, out of which
they had been swindled, they would
find it in the hands Of a bona fide pur
chaser for value, as this witness would
testify.

There's Always
Room at the Top.

This was Daniel Webster's remark
to a young and half discouraged
aspirant for legal honors. There
is no secure resting place in any
business or profession but "the
top" and the man who lacks the
brains and persistence to attain
that position cannot hope to
achieve great results. Once there,
however, he has all fortunes best
favors in his grasp, and can well
afford to be generous to the strug-
CLING masses below. 1.-THE New
High Arm Davis Sewing Machine"
has arrived at the top" and has
become the acknowledged standard
of excellence among sewing ma
chimes. In proof of this assertion
We are daily told by dealers in
other machines that "thcy arc as
good as The Davis which Is in
itself sufficient evidence that The
Davis is at the head. "Thc New
High Arm Davis has no equal in
simplicity, durability and range
of work. 1t has arrived at "The

Unfalthful Servants.

It is said that the President dis
regarded the wishes of the local
Democracy in the appointment of
the postmaster, both at Athens
and Nelsonvillc.
How this may he we have no
personal knowledge, but that it
was the case in Logan is beyond
doubt.
While we believe this to be a
poor way to strengthen the party,
yet it is not possible for President
or Senator, or both combined to
shake the faith of our Democrats
in the principles of our party, yet
the serCdnt who refuses to do their
will may find time, not far in the
future when they will be retired
from official position and given
ample time to ruminate on the
wages Of arrogance and Stupidity.
Our Senator will perhaps find as
much trouble succeeding himself
as he had in being first elected, and
his promise Of liberal contributions
to the campaign fund will hardly
avail to reinstate him in the good
graces of constituency whose
wishes he has disrergarded and
whose power he has foolishly
ignored.

One More Found.

1t seems that President Cleve-
land has found another Democrat
besides himself and Dan Lamont
who is qualified to hold a second
term in Office.
The discovery is in the person OF
Joseph 5. Miller of West, Va. who
held the position of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue during CIeve-
lands first term, and who was on
the 10 inst. confirmed in his old
position.
We are glad to know that the
immaculate part of the Democratic
party is growing; and that the
great and mighty nucleus now
consists of three: Cleveland, La
mont and Miller.
Just how long it will be before
Gresham and Green are allowed to
be entered in the immaculate class
we don't know, but we presume
they may take, seat at the feet of
his mightiness as soon as they are
purged of the lingering remnants
of republicanism.

SOLOMON, HIS TEMPLE AND THE
QUEEN OF SHEBA
Presented by John RObinsOn's Great
Worlds Exposition.

To the skeptic or the agnostic, as
well as to the devOut believer in
the Sacred Scriptures, the era of
the great King SOlomOn's reign is
and can be naught but the most
impressive, ;the most interesting
and the grandest in all history.
There are no parallels in all the
records of the past; nothing ap-
proximating in grandeur, in wis
dom and sublimity, in any chron-
icle of modern ages. 1t was, then,
felicitous conception of the man
agement of John BObinson's Great
Worlds Exposition to reproduce
the seems, personages, incidents
and events of the reign of Solomon,
the grand old patriarch, sage and
King. That they have done this
thoroughly, acceptably and success
fully, the public and the press,
everywhere the Robinson show
has exhibited this season, unanim-
ously attest. Their great biblical
spectacle, in its powerful sceneo-
graphic effects, in its accurate and
realistic presentations, and the
sumptuOus lavishness attending its
representation, is pronounced with
universal accord to be not only
triumph in art, but a revelation in
the history of the past that has
never had precedent. Our citi-
Eens will have the opportunity of
seeing this grand spectacle in con-
nectiOn with the manifold other
wonders of the John Robinson
show on Wednesday May 10 at
Logan.
