Let 1t look at the situation and realize the

that the country people are at least worthy of

able grounds for opening on his head the Walls

From time immemorial the minority has
yielded obedience to law and given respectful

AS TO THE JUDGES.
While our information is deficient, yet We
believe that it would be impossible to prove
that the judiciary in q hundred years had In.
terfered as much with q coordinate branch OF
the government. as has been done In the last
four years.
In future, we hope that the Legislature may
relegate to the rear every Judge who assumes
without good cause-to interfere with the
executive branch Of the government
We have had enough OF such interference
and we are tired.
We hope, too, that every power known to
the government may be used to make "the
people of Charleston" obey even the whiskey
laws Of the State-we mean the anarchists
and people who think mob rule better than
the civil government. or course we have nc

and his gun lifted to brain her. Loves
sight, however, is more keen than that
of the ordinary man, and Samuel
Henderson rushed forward just
in time to catch the mans arm
and save his sweetheart The capture of
the girls had taken place on April IA,
l776; their rescue on the 10Th, and on
Aug. Of the same year Betsey and her
rescuer were married. The marriage took
place at the fort at Boonesboro and the
ceremony was performed by Squire
Boone, a younger brother of Daniel, who
was a Baptist preacher. Henderson was
a person of some prominence and had been
a delegate of the new colony, Transylva-
MIA, in the preceding year. he atterward
settled in Mason county, two miles north
of Mayslick. Their marriage was the
first ceremony of the kind performed on
Kentucky soil, and their daughter Fannie
was the fifth white child born in the
state
AS late as 1873 their son, Alfred Hen
derson, was living at High Hill, Tex, and
had then reached the age of 80; a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Estill, aged 81, was living in
Talladega, Ala, while yet another daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sally Rivers, aged SO, was liv-
ing with her son, Rev. DR.. r. H. Rivers,
a clergyman of the Methodist church, in
Louisville. Fanny Galloway was mar
ried to Capt. John Holden and JENNA
whom had been members of the rescuing
party, but these ceremonies took place
year later, owing to the youth of the
girls. The particulars of the capture aad
the rescue were given by Col. John
Floyd, one Of the rescuing party,
to Col. William Preston, in q letter
dated July 81, l776, and were later related
by Matthew Dixon, a son-in-law Of Bet
sey Galloway, in letter written in July,
1885.
OF the Indian captors but one
lived TO reach the Shawnee settlement,
whence they came; the others being with
out guns or ammunition, died OF wounds
and famine. The place of rescue was
supposed TO have been in the Bald Eagle
branch OF Flat Creek, three miles east of
Sharps burg but, according TO member
Of the Boone family. it was two or three
miles south OF the Upper Blue Licks.
The state Of Kentucky has honored the
names of Boone, Henderson and Galloway
by naming counties after them.

BOOKS IN INDIAN LANGUAGES.
Interesting Fects About Their Alpha
bets and Dialects.
From the Washington Star.

Perhaps the most remarkable small
library in this country is the property Of
James c. Pilling, the well known ethnolo-
gisU of Washington. 1t is the largest ex-
listing collection of books in Indian Ian
guages, and OF those la nguages there are
no less than fifty-tive in North America
north of Mexico. All of them are distinct
tongues. as different from one another as
Chinese and English.
More than one-halt of the 800 dialects.
into which the the tifty-five languages re-
ferrpd TO are divided, are preserved in
books. II is believed that the first book
printed on this continent was in the In
dian language-the "Nahuatl'-pub liShed
in the City Of Mexico in 1859. The first
Bible printed in America was in an Indian
tongue-the celebrated Eliot Bible. This
is one of the most costly of all rare books.
About forty copies OF 1T were specially
prepared, with a dedication to Charles IL.
One of these, in good condition, Is now
worth about 81, 900.
The first printing done west of the
Rocky Mountains was in the Nee Perce
language. II was a primer for Indian
children, turned out from the mission
press at Clearwater, Idaho in 1889. The
press that did the work had been
brought by the missionaries all The way
from the Hawaiian Islands.
The first book printed in Dakota was

A FINE WIRE GRASS TOWN.
It Is Prosperous and Promises Well
for the Future.


vidalia, Ca, July 21-Crops in this
section are extra fine and the farmers
buoyant with hope of rich harvest.
This is an excellent farming section.
Corn, peas, oats, potatoes and every
variety of vegetables are grown in
abundance. The soil seems to be
adapted to either long or short
staple cotton. The weed is fine and
is heavily fruited.
Vidaha is building up rapidly. Four
years ago it was an unbroken forest, now
it is a pretty little town of 800 inhab-
itants. 1t is one of the most prosperous
little towns on the Savannah, Americas
and MONTGOMERY railroad. The founders
of the town laid it out carefully in sixty
feet streets. The town was Incorporated
about year ago. 1t has fourteen bust
ness houses, three churches-Methodist
Baptist and Presbyterian, one sawmill,
planning mill, machine shop, steam gin,
and a variety of works.
Mayor George n. Matthews believes
that every citizen must comply strictly to
the city ordinance or reap the con-
sequence of disobedience. He is an ex-
cellent officer.
Vidalia is town of farmers, for nearly
every citizen has fine farm nearby, and
divides his time with his farm, because
farming pays in this section.
Mr.. Peacock of Savannah says it is the
best country for farming he has ever
seen. When Adam and Eve were taken
out of the Garden of Eden if they had
been put in wiregrass Georgia he doesn't
think they would have detected the diff
ference. About two-thirds of the inhabi-
tants of Vidalia are originally from North
and South Carolina. They are just such
citizens as Georgia is glad to welcome.
Vidalis has an excellent school of 100
students. Prof. E. Hodges, graduate of
Mercer, is the principal. He is assisted
by Miss Lizzie Waters. The school is
known as the Daniel High School, being
named after the association. 1t has a
board of trustees appointed by the asso-
citation.
Politics is quiet in this section, and
national issues are not discussed unless
two local statesmen get together, but
whenever they meet the people are
treated to a most nauseating dose of
national issues. OF course each states
man congratulates himself that his argu-
ment is convincing.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Allegro Fatally Injured South OF the
Citv

Several persons were severely, and one
perhaps fatally, injured by stroke of
lightning on Mr.. Glen Cooper's place,
about three miles from the city, during
the thunder storm Friday afternoon
Mr.. Fred Kuck, who keeps a grocery at
Anderson and Abercorn streets, Mr.
Reuben Butler and Mr.. Harmon Gro
theer, went out to Mr.. Cooper's place,
where MIR. Kuck has a couple of colts
pastured. Mr.. Kuck had heard that one
Of the colts had fallen into the canal run
ming through the place and went out to
take him out
The services of Jack Converse, a negro
named Gadsden and another negro were
engaged to assist in getting the colt out
ofthe ditch. The colt was gotten out
Just as the thunder storm began. The
party took refuge under some trees in the
pasture. The three negroes and MIR.
huck's horse and buggy were under one
Tree, and Messrs. Butler and Grotheer
We're under another tree few feet away.
Mr.. kuck, who has had some experience
with lightning stood out in the open away
from the tree.
Suddenly there was binding flash of
Ilghtnlng and heavy peal of thunder.
Every one in the party was thrown to
the ground. When those who were only
signify shocked recovered they found
mat MIR. Kuck's horse was killed and his
buggy demolished. The negroes were
most severely hurt Converse was
thought to have been killed at FIRST, and
1adsden was, several minutes in recover
ilg MIR. Butler received a severe shock
out soon recovered. Gadsden was sent
II 70 MS home and was reported yesterday
70 be almost recovered.
H Converse had nearly all his clothes
burned off and appeared to suffer the most
intense agony. He was taken TO the
georgia lnhrmary. 1t was at first thought
mat death was only matter of few
hours. but he was still alive yesterday,
qua with some chances of recovery. This
