A MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY.
Senator Georges Cousin Murders hfs
Sweetheart's Father and Commits
Suicide.

CARRoLLToN, Miss, Jan. 19.-Robert
George, a cousin of United States
Senator J. z. George, committed sui
eide at Ittabens, Miss, last night
while on the way to Carrollton Jail in
charge of a sherif7s posse.
Young George was charged with the
murder Of Capt. w. B. Prince, one Of
the most prominent and wealthy plan
ters in the State.
The story Of the tragedy is one of the
most sensational in the history Of
Mississippi. A few nights ago Capt.
Prince was assaulted with an axe
when he entered the door Of his
residence in the suburbs Of Carrollton.
he was knocked senseless, and lay in
pool Of blood until the next morn
ing when he was discovered by his
wife. His wounds were fatal. Inves-
tigation resulted in the arrest Of Robert
George.
Young George was violently in love
with Miss Shelly Prince, q daughter Of
Capt. Prince, who objected to the
match and threatened to disinherit his
daughter unless she gave George up,
which she refused to do. He wrote his
will, disinheriting her. The couple.
commenced making preparations for
the future by the daughter drawing
drafts on her father in the name Of q
New Orleans merchant to large
amount, which young George cashed in
the CarroIlton Bank, having the money
placed to his credit.

SENATOR 1RBy CONVERTED.
BE Has Visited Mr.. Cleveland and Now
Says BE is tho Greatest Man
in the Party.
New York Sun, I

lARS" 4Oih SOu,J
WASHINGTON, January 1s-Senator
Irby Of South Carolina, who is the sue
cessor Of Gen. Wade Hampton, has re-
turned to Washington from a visit to
Mr.. Cleveland, and he is now an en-
thusiastic Cleveland man.
His sudden conversion occasions
much comment among his South Caro-
lima acquaintances, who remember how
bitterly he opposed Mr.. Cleveland be-
fore the Chicago nomination was made.
However, Senator Irby went over to
New York, saw Mr. Cleveland, talked
with him nearly an hour at the Mills
building. and now he declares that Mr..
Cleveland is the greatest man in the
Democratic party. In referring to his
visit, Senator Irby says he was COM.
pletely captivated by the broad-minded
views Of public questions expressed By
the President elect.
II never met Mr.. Cleveland before,
and was surprised to hear him talk so
franklya an every topic that was sug-
gested. He impressed me with the,
idea that his one aim is to make the
coming Democratic Administrator
success. He said nothing during the
conversation that impressed me with
the idea that he is going to punish
those who honestly differed with him
before his denomination. He is too
big man for that. He is fully aware
that many of the ablest and best men
in the Democratic party honestly be-
lieved before the Chicago Convention
met that he could not be elected, and,
for that reason, they opposed his nom
ination. They may not have had any
personal feeling against him, for many
Of them, like myself, never knew him.
They remembered that he was elected
in 1884, but four years later he was de-
feated by President Harrison, wb"z4
even Republicans considered weak
man at the time of his domination.
It was this condition cl affairs that
caused many thousands Of tried and
true Democrats to doubt the advisa-
bility Of renominating him. Not that
they doubted his capacity and his abil-
ity to faithfully represent the princi.
Piles Of the Democratic party, but sim-.
ply because they did not regard him as
the most available man under the cir
cumstances then existing.
CATER he was nominated it is evi-
dent that every Democrat in the land
turned in and helped to elect him,
judging from the election returns. The
result shows that every Democrat did.
his duty. I acknowledge that I was,
opposed to Mr.. Cleveland's nomination,
but I sincerely believe that he is going
to make great President. I do not
believe he is going to punish me for
opposing him, for if he does he should
also punish all the other great men in
the party who were equally opposed to
his nomination"

Future Laws.
darlington Herald. !

At the next session Of the Legisla-
ture we may look for the following
bills to be introduced:
Bill to appoint commission to man
ufacture fertilizer for the farmers and
forbidding any private corporation
from selling any within the limits Of
the State.
Bill appointing a commission to visit
the Western markets for the purpose
of purchasing horses and mules, to be
sold exclusively to our own people, and
prohibiting anyone from purchasing a
horse or mule except from the State
Livery Stable. The commissioners
shall receive salary Of one thousand
dollars and travelling expenses and be
allowed the use Of one horse. They
will only be allowed to charge a profit
Of fifty per cent on cost, all profits to
20 into the State Treasury. Farmers
will be allowed to raise horses for their
OWL use or to sell outside of the State,
but must not come in competition
with the State by selling any animal
within it's borders.
Bill to establish a general merchan-
disc store, making a speciality Of deal
ing in meat, corn and hay, for the
benefit Of the farmers and requiring
them to purchase all their supplies
from said store. The managers Of said
store shall receive a salary Of one thou
sand dollars each, including rations,
consisting Of three pounds Of meat,
one peck Of meal and one quart Of
whiskey, the latter to be obtained by q
requisition on the State barkeeper.
A Uniform profit Of fifty per cent must
be charged on all articles which, afte
deducting expenses, must be paid into
the State Treasury.
II these measures are passed, the
profits arising from these enterprises,
with that from the whiskey monopoly,
will not only pay all the expenses Of
the State Government but leave con.
siderable amount over. This will pre-.
sent the strange spectacle ofa State not
only relieving its citizens from the
burdens Of taxation, but actually max
ing money by merchandising.
If any one doubts the ability Of the
present administration to carry out
these measures, he is very skeptical
individual and should be ashamed Of
his lack Of faith. If people wont obey
the militia can be called out.

CAUGHT IN TIE TRAP.
And Almost Frozo to Death for Stealing
Corn.

COLUMBIA, s. c., January ia
shocking affair is reported from the
plantation Of Mr.. Joseph A. Baker, a
well-to-do and highly respectable farm
er, four miles south Of Marion. For
some time Mr.. Baker has been missing
corn from bis barn. Last night he sat
a strong steel trap in the barn at the
place where the corn had been missing.
Next morning on going out he noticed
the form of an old colored woman
named Dolly Bethea, who had been
some time in his employ as cook,
standing fast by the side Of the barn
with one hand through the crack quiet
and motionless. Mr.. Baker entered
the barn and unlocked the trap when
the old woman fell. Her hand was
badly cut by the strong jaws of the
powerful trap, and her body was well
nigh frozen, the weather being in
tensely cold. She was taken to the
house and cared for, but died. The old
woman had been in the family for =
number Of years and WAS never sus-
pected of the theft.

MR.. CLEvELAND'S sAGACITY.
dc II tho Boldest Politician Mr. Tilden
Ever Knew.

From the Buffalo Courier, Dem.l
There are persons who profess tc
think that, in spite of a public career
successful beyond precedent, Mr.. Cleve
land is q short-sighted, blunderine
politician. II they are honest in this
opinion they show evidence ofnot hav'
ing o clear understanding Of the sub
ject.
Samuel J. Tilden asserted: "Mr
Cleveland is the boldest politician
have ever known"
Mr.. Cleveland is bold, but he is not
rash in his boldness; he is far-sighted
he is keen student Of political forces
he is skilled analyst of motives in
politics and he is a sagacious tactician
It is argued that prudence called fol
the suppression of his conviction re-
garding the New York Senatorship
But look at the results following the
expression ofais opinion. Newspaper
and other ad'socates Of Mr.. Murphy'G
election resens this opinion largely OF
the ground, they say that it is improper
interference with public matter solely
committed to the members of the Leg
islature. This is an extraordinary re-
sentiment Oh the part Of those who, al
a rule, do not confine their so-calle6
interference" to mere expressions o.
opinion, but who employ all manner
Of agencies to influence legislators and
State officers in the performance o1
their official duties.
Mr.. Cleveland is now private citi.
zen of the State Of New York; he has
not yet been officially declared to be
even President-elect. Two months from
now he will be President. It will then
be bis constitutional right and duty tc

will be the constitutional right and
duty of the Senate to confirm or reject
these nominations.
Those who resent Mr. Cleveland.

sort of man who should be chosen
Senator by the representatives Of the
New York Democracy will be expected
to resent any interference on the par!
of New York Senators or New York
State officers with President Cleve'

the matter of Federal nominations.
This outcome of the present contro.
versy will greatly simplify a situation
at Washington which otherwise might
be more or less embarrassing.

SOUTH CAROLINA GOLD.
The Output Of the Halle aad the Brewer
Mines.
Especial to The State. I

KERsHAw, S. c., January, 10.-The
Charlotte Observer has this to say
about Halle gold mine, just two and q
half miles from KershaW:
"Once month a fine bar of gold ie
assayed at the mint from the Halle
gold mine. The lump in value varies
from $1,000 to $9,00O."
To this l will add that while the out
put does not average much over SIS, ,0OO
per month, since he has taken charge
Superintendent Their has sent to the
Charlotte minta bar worth about $l2,-
900, the earnings of one month, and
there is no mine in the South that can
beat this record.
1t may be well to note that the Halle
gold mine and the Brewer gold mine
two and Lalf and ten miles distant
respectively, from Kershaw, each yield,
ed more gold last year than any other
ten gold mines in the South. These
mines furnish employment. both day
and night, to large force Of operatives,
whose wages are spent in Kershaw.

The Redemption Division receives
very frequently pieces torn from bills
accompanied by affdavits saying that
the remainder Of the notes has been
destroyed by mice. But the experts
of the Treasury Department can tell in
a minute whether a piece has been
torn off or eaten of, and these petty
frauds are never successful.
Treasurer Nobeker has S. bill in bis
office made of sixteen pieces cut from
s5 notes. matched so nicely that the
ordinary eye would not detect the
fraud. This composite note was sent in
by bank clerkin NewYork. The Trea-
sury experts detected the fraud imme-
diately, and of course the bogus note
was not redeemed.
HOW FRAGMENTS ARE REDEEMED.
Where half bill is presented for
redemption the Treasury Department
pays to the claimant one-half the face
value of the note but no man is en-
titled to lost money, and if mutilated
bills are presented with the statement
that they have been found by the
claimant, they are confscated by the
government. Ifany portion ofa bill is
presented for redemption by the owner
he will receive the proportion Of the
value of that bill which the fragment
represents, compared with the whole
surface of the note. Mr.. Relyea has a
piece of plate glass, the exact size Of a
note, on which cross lines have been
engraved, and when fragment comes
in for redemption, it is placed under
this glass and its proportions are taken
to ascertain its value.
