The Moorish Sultan Took Pity.
From the London Globe.

The following dramatic incidents
given in The Jewish Chronicle') indi-
cate the rough and ready methods of jus
tiCe in Morocco. A year ago Jew named
Abettan presented a letter to the author
tiles at Mogador, purporting to come from
the sultan, instructing them to deliver to
the bearer some house property. The let
ter was forged, but Abettan alleged that
he was quite innocent of any fraudulent
intention, and that he had innocently re-
ceived the letter from a friend at the
shereehan court. The man, however,
was cast into prison, and the wife made
repeated efforts to procure his release
without avail. She repeatedly threw her
self before the sultan begging his mercy
in behalf of her husband. When more
than usually entreated his majesty said
kindly to her: Il cannot release your
husband. Let him be tried by whatever
law you please, Mehometan, Jewish or
Christian, and am certain that he will
be found deserving of severe punish
ment." Still the wife did not give up
hope. Seeing that the sultan
City, she made one more effort.
She bound the arms of her little boy
behind his back, and as his Majesty was
one day going TO prayer on horseback, she
suddenly came before him, placed the in
nocent babe before his horse, and cried:
IF your majesty Will not release my nus
band then trample over this baby, for
there will be no one to provide for it and
keep it." At the same time she cried
bitterly, and implored his maiesty's
mercy. The Sultans sympathetic heart
was touched by the poor woman's grief,
and he must have admired her bold &C
ton. Very WELL" he replied, your hus-
band shall be released" News at once
came to Mogador of the Sultan's pardon,
but it was hardly credited. But sure
enough, a royal letter was received a
fortnight ago ordering the release of
Simon Abettan. And he is now enjoy
ing full liberty. While feeling grateful
to the Sultan for such kindness of heart
adds our contemporary, we cannot but
feel an admiration for the devoted wife,
who showed such perseverance and such
readiness of resource, by which she has
succeeded in delivering her husband from
a lifelong imprisonment.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Cotton Reported to Be Doing Only
Fairly Well.

Columbia, S. c., July lion Monday
and Tuesday of last week rain was almost
general over the state except in the
northwest counties, where it was light or
wanting The following counties, in
whole or in part stand in need OF rain:
York, Chester, Fairfield, Union, Spartan
burg and Pickens. The southeastern
counties had an excess of rain, impairing
field crops somewhat, except possibly
corn.
Cotton is doing only fairly well. Dur
ing the past week the wet weather has
caused rust TO develop in certain sections
of the state, and lice have attacked the
plant in Others. The cool weather of the
middle of the week was very unfavorable,
but it is thought that the plant is too far
advanced to have sustained any struct-
ural change. and so far the only apparent
effect the cool weather has had is
"honey dew" reported from a number of
widely separate points. This crop is be-
ing laid by as fast as the
ground permits, and some dam
age is noted from blowing
while the ground was too wet It's con-
dition is reported particularly fine in
Clarendon county. and it is fruiting as
heavily as desirable everywhere. Some
shedding noted in localities where rain
fall was excessive and sunshine deficient,
in which localities the plant has also
taken on a yellowish color Cotton has
not, generally speaking, held the improve
ment made during the first week in July.
Grass threatens the crop, but the latter
part of the week was favorable for plow-
ing, and few more days of dry weather
will be sufficient to clear the fields.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
A Young Colored Man Found Dead In
Liberty County.

Walthourville, Ca, July 17.-News
reaches here to-day of the finding of the
body of Lloyd James, colored, young
man about % years old. who lived in the
neighborhood of 1.-The Grove" in the
lower edge of Liberty county.
On Thursday last he took dinner with
his father-in-law, Samson Carter, re-
marking that his wife was not at home,
and that he would go to where she was
teaching school and stay there awhile,
not liking to keep house by himself. He
left presumably for the place where his
wife was. He did not appear at that
place, but it was some days before he was
missed. Some of his frien DIS looking
around came across his body yesterday
lying across a fence. They were guided
to the spot by seeing buzzards in numbers
near David James field.
1t is not known whether he was killed
accidentally or committed suicide.
He had had noatrouble with anyone in
that neighborhood, and it is not thought
he was murdered. The body was IN such
condition as to make an examination
impossible to see if robbery was the mo-
tive. Floyd was a steady young man,
well thought of, and leaves wife and two
children.

ENGLAND's IMMIGRATION LAWS
The New Bill Passes Second Reading
in the House of Lords.

49, SNS A@S0oC Va AAOI0Ss
London, July lin the House of Lords
to-day Lord Salisbury formally moved
the second reading of the alien immi-
grants bill.
Lord Roseberry opposed the bill on the
ground that no such proposal ought to be
made TO parliament except upon the
initiative of the government. II was
not through neglect on the part
that the alien question had not
been touched. When Lord Salisbury was
In power the case against alien immi-
grants was infinitely stronger than it is
now, as immigration was much greater;
vet the conservatives minister opposed
special immigration on the legislation on
the ground that aliens were so few that
the right OF asylum in England ought 10
be upheld. Lord Roseberry quoted cop
lously from statistics showing that immi-
grafton was now at a lowerspoint than it
mad been reported in many years The bill
he said, had not the slightest chance of
becoming law, and it would therefore
be waste of time to put it through the
House of Lords. On the authority of the
home office, he could deny the allegation
that any plot against a foreign govern
ment or an official of a foreign govern
ment had been Matched in England since
the present ministry came into power
He advised Lord Salisbury, by all means,
to drop the measure.
SALISBURY EXPRESSES REGRET.
Lord Salisbury expressed regret at the
governments refusal to support the bill,
which was necessary legislation in the
direction of protecting the workingmen
against the competition of low-priced
labor and also as a preventive of Eng
lands becoming an asylum for anarch-
istic refugees. The question was so
serious that he declined to withdraw the
measure.
Earl Cowper asked that Lord Sauls-
bury would not divide the House on the
measure inasmuch as there was no pros
pect of it becoming a law during this ses-
sion.
A division was then taken, and the bill
passed its second reading by vote of 80
to 81.
In the House of Commons Sir William
Harcourt moved the third reading of the
budget bill
Sir John Lubberdeck moved the re-
lection of the bill

nounced that he would make statement

President c. H. Phinizy of the Atlanta
and West Point road was elected chair
man of the meeting and w. L. McGil
the association secretary, kept the
records.
The routine business was soon disposed
of and preliminary discussion of the main
question was then participated in by sew
eral members The association commits
sioner, Z. 3. Stahlman of Atlanta, intro
duced a proposed schedule of rates for
the coming year. A partial reading at
once developed numerous objections, and
the chairman referred the matter to the
executive committee for revision. The
committee, it is expected, will be ready
to report at the session tomorrow.
During the evening the members were
busy in the committees and quiet confer
ences on the subject, and the general
opinion seemed to be in favor of arestora-
ton of rates on Aug l to about the fig

If this is not finally acted upon at the
meeting, which may last two or three
DAYS, it is said there may be tacit con-
sent of the stronger lines to restoration,

BOY RULERS.
1t Seems TO Be an Age Of Youth With
European Royalty.

european royalty.
From the New York Recorder.
This may, indeed, be called the age of
youth, with an S-year-old monarch on the
throne of sSpain, 13-year-old Queen of
Holland, l9-year-old khedive in Egypt,
and an l8-year-old king at Belgrade.
With regard to the latter | learn from
friend, who has recently been in Servia,
the following account of how King
"Sacha" spends his day: Although
rarely in bed before midnight, he is up
early in the morning, and, arrayed in the
undress uniform OF general, receives
the court-martial his aid-de-camp in
waiting and his secretaries, who present
to him their daily reports and take his in
strucuions.
After CHANGING over the newspapers he
receives his ministers at 10 o'clock, and
then doffs his uniform and dons multi for
luncheon. which is served in the small
dining room of the palace, and the young
king usually sits opposite his father, who
does all the talking. Then conversation
is generally prolonged in the smoking
room after luncheon until 2 or 3o'clock,
Milan smoking innumerable cigarettes, a
habit in which he is initiated by his prom
lsing son. drive to his suburban palace
of Topchida following. II was here that
his grandfather. king Milosch, was so
cowardly poniarded by karageorgeviez.
AT o'clock the daily council of minis
tiers takes place. at which the king pre-
sides. and at o'clock dinner is served,
after which the king generally accomDa-
mics his father to the theater or TO some
great otficial ball. From this il will be
gathered that he has little opportunity
for reading, exercise or instruction Of any
kind, and the existence that he leads can
only be described as the reverse Of whole
some for so young man.
Perhaps the most unwholesome feature
OF IL all is bis association with Ms father,

year ago, disguised even the most cynical
