ty. The advices we receive from the
various banks in the United States
tend to confirm this view, aud if any
thing moro were needed to provo it
the fact alone that none of the banks is
reducing its circulation would seem to
show that they expect an increase in
the volume of busieess, otherwise they
would cut down their circulation in
order to escape taxation as much as
possible. The country is like very
sick man and will recover slowly, but
the convalence will be none the less

AN uNLUCKY DAY FOR THE GANTT
FAMILY. The second primary in
Spartanburg witnessed a lively sc.in-
mage. Col. II. Larry CAN'T. editor OF
the Headlight, got into discussion
with two men from the country. These
men said they had always been for
Iillman until the past two weeks, and
since they were convinced that Till
manism meant ring rule they would
never vote that ticket again. CAN'T
told them that they were id traitors.
CAN'T was very much under the in
Ilucncc of liquor and became boisterous.
Mart Floyd was standing near. and told
the men to talk to him lGantt where
upon Can't made at Floyd with his
list. Floyd then administered two
singing blows on Gantt's head and he
fell of the sidewalk into the street.
Friends intcrfcrrcd. and itwas thought
that everything was over.
Half an hour later Gantt's two grown
sons accosted Floyd at the Windsor Ho-
tel and demanded satisfaction. Floyd
told them they could get it. There
upon the elder Can't, Jesse, struck
him. and the other Can't drew a pistol
and demanded fair play. Fioyd's
brother came in and grabbed the pis-
tol. The men fought for some time,
and John Floyd and Mart succeeded in
taking pistol each from the Gantts
and clubbcd them numerically with
them. 1t is feared that one OF tho
Gantts will lose an eye. The Floyds
arc not hurt, except that each has W
sprained finger.

HORSE KICKED THR ENGINE.

More Injured by the Fence He Struck
Than by the locomotive.
Daniel Bunker, Of Richmond, has
horse that has just broken all records,
going eighty feet in about one second.
One morning lately the horse got out
and took a stroll on the railroad
track A few minutes later the train
rounded the curve, and the chances
for the horse between the rails locke
slim. The engineer footed his whistle
and the horse trotted faster. Think
ing the horse would surely be
struck and the train perhaps de-
rallied on the bank at this
point the engineer pulled open the
throttle, hoping to throw him clear of
the rails. The animal laid back his
ears and struck furious pace until
the bridge over Front street was
reached. when no stopped and kicked
vioiouslY at the iron hose CLOSE upon
him The engine struck him just as
he kicked. and tho spectators got a
view OF the fying horse. lie struck
on all fours In the snow, rolled over
against a barbed wire fence, got up,
shook the snow off, got on the track
again and followed the train to mar
ket a distance of two miles. The
horse is reported as being somewhat
scratched by the barbed wire and is q
little stiff, but will be all right in a few
days and none the worse off for his
frolic with the cars.

The Urnbroiia Snake.

A useful little contrivance has just
been patented, which should quickly
glide-for it takes the form of a
snake-into public favor. 1t is little
black silk and jet headed reptile that
clings around an umbrella, and holds
it secure without the aid of the
ancient elastic band and button. The
great advantage of the umbrella
snake" is that it enables even the
most unpractised hand to fold up an
umbrella without effort and with
great neatness. 1t fits any umbrella,
and has no button TO come off, and
gives a finish to the umbrella which
will be especially appreciated By ladies.

which n Doaf and Dumb Mother os.
fsred In 3 Chicago Court.
There WAS a pathetic scene in a
Chicago court recently. A divorce
case had been called for ju 'gment.
The wife sat surrounied by her
legal advisors Her face she kept
shaded with her hands. Through the
OPEN door that led into Judge Horton's 5
private room occasionally came child
ish pratte and peals of innocent
laughter. The mothers head was
bowed with grief. Then the judge
spoke His solemn tones rang through
the room. His words were few. He
bade the woman go in freedom, and
charged her with the safety OF her
child.
But she did not noed the spoken de-
cree. Her lawyer bent over to ex-
plain. Apparently she did not un Her
stand. Suddenly there was q happy
shout Like ray of sunlight a gold
en-haired child s2rsng out of Jadge
Horizons room and rushed pell nell
INTO her mothers arms The two
lost, themselves in each others em-
brace. Tears of joy coursed down the
mothers cheekA She kissed and felt
her darling's face with trembling
, fngera
Then she left her seat, and going
to the front of the juIgss bench, fell
upon her knees
She lifted her hands first to heaven,
then to Judge Horton, and then to her
child, as if to invoke divine blessing
on his wisdom He1 eyes were red
with weeping.
For several moments the strange
! pantomime continued. And the little
daughter stood with her hand upon
her mothers shoulder, smiling
through her tears at the judge.
"Mamma's deaf and dumb, sir, II
she finally said. She's asking God
to bless you for giving me back to
