s'No. no, she replied, hmriedly.
y was only teasing. Maggie and l
will tlnd something to keep up employ
ed and amused until bedtime.
Mr.. Wigfall smiled knowingly, and
NODDED toward the house as he rode
away.
i caught you fairly that time, " he
chuckled. Il won't have to snap any
caps on an empty gun tonight, if I
stay long enough.
And, somehow, Mr.. Wigfall did stay
away long enough. Ted and Maggie
occupied the front porch all by them
selves, and before the former left that
night the latter had consented to
elope with him and be married on the
following Wednesday night.
During the few days between that
night and Wednesday, Maggie and
her mother were in a tlutter OF eN-
element, and many were the wins
pered consultations between the two,
when Mr.. Wigfall was SO near that
they feared he could hear what they
said, if they spoke in their natural
voices.
II must be admitted that a move had
been made in the game Of which Mr.
Wicfall was not fully cognizant, but
the smile which often played around
his mouth, when he saw his wife and
daughter together eyeing him sus-
piciously, was not very sinister.
The eventful Wednesday came at
last. 1t was clear, bright day, full
of The perfume of new-blown flowers
and sweet with the south wind coming
in from the sea.
After dinner, when Maggie was
ready to leave home, ostensibly to
spend the night at a young friends
house, she went to where her father
was sitting, put her arms around his
neck and kissed him atfectionately.
Mr.. Wigfall eyed her questioningly
and somehow there seemed be blur
on his sight as their glances met for a
moment. which made him blink his
eyes.
Both appeared as if they wanted to
say something, but for some reason
they parted in silence
Mother and daughter, on the other
hand, whispered together for several
minutes, and when Maggie rode away
there We're tears in the eyes of both OF
them.
That evening Mrs. Wigfall's heart
became too heavy for her and she
went to her husband and impaired to
him the secret which weighed upon 1t
so heavily.
Jim, " she said in choking voice,
Maggie and Ted have run away and
got married.
She fully expected to see Mr.. Wig
fall fly into terrible rage, but, IN
stead, was very much surprised to see
him smile, as If he were fully satisfied
with the turn events had taken.
Il am glad of it," he said.
Mrs. Wigfall was doubly surprised
now.
Glad OF it, JIM Why, I thought
you were opposed to the match, and
doing all YOU could to break it up"
Don't you remember, dear, what
a hard time we had to keep up our
engagement for two years before we
were married." he asked, chucking
her playfully under then chin. Il
didn't want Maggie and Ted to go
through the same trying experience.
So I took it into my head to oppose
the match, knowing that was the only
way to hurry them up, and you must
acknowledge that I have succeeded. "
You always did act queer, Jim, .
cried Mrs. Wigfall But there was
not the slightest reproach in her voice
as she said it.-New Orleans Times

CROWN POINT, Ind, Aug. Ii
Sheriff Haynes has captured the
wholesale poisoner who drugged a pail
of water with strychine at dance at
Horseford Park Monday night. Char
les Williams wifeis the guilty one.
She did it to get Williams out Of the
way SO she would get the heavy life
insurance he carried. She says she
put the poison in the water because
her husband was paying too much at
tention to several girls and wanted to
kill them all. The four victims are
worse today, having a relapse this
morning, and also convl,lsions, Mrs.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Aug. 13.-
Without intending to shoot either OF
them, Charles McGonigle last night
shot and killed his father, ranch
owner, near this city, and fatally
wounded an Antenum blacksmith
named Evans. He surrendered and
was brought here by the neighbors.
The murderer had slandered Evans
daughter, and that caused the tragedy.
Evans, his wife and daughter, drove
to the McGonigle ranch to force him
to retreat. Young McGonigle first
shot at Evans, but killed his own
father, and he then fired at Evans
daughter, wounding her father.

THE August report of the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture
shows reduction in the condition of
cotton during the month of July from
S2.3 7.9 or A points. This is the
lowest average ever reported, being
helf point lower than the average
for August, 1893. The reason for low
condition generally given by CORE
spondents is excessive moisture,
though in South Carolina drought
seems to be principal cause of in
jury. There is much complaint of grass
and not little rust, the blight, worms
and insect are enemies Of the plant.

TIE powder used in big guns is
queer-looking stuff. Each grain is a
hexagonal prism an inch wide and
two.thirds of an inch thick, with a
hole bored through the middle of it..
In appearance it resembles nothing
so much as piece of wood. If yor
touch a match to it it will take seven
or eight seconds to 60 off. Slow
burning powder like this is employed
in cannons because it does not strain
the gun so much. The quicker the
explosion the greater the shock and
the shorter the life Of the weapon.

Scared the Darkies.

BEAUFORT, Aug. 12.-The Amphi-
trite reached Port Royal harbor last
night to be ready to make the test OF
the strength of the dry dock which IS
completed. Her arrival was heralded
up to Beaufort, distance of ten or
twelve miles to where she is anchored
by lighting up the whole horizon with
her electric lights. The negroes did
not know what to make of the sudden
flashes of efulgence and thought that
a volcano or some "debil of ting"
had broke loose down the bay.

THERE is negro in Laurens who
recently bought and drank quart of
blind tiger whiskey. The stuff proved
rank poison, and will probably cost
the imbiber his life. Soon after swal-
lowing the decoction the hands and
feet of the negro began to swell. until
they assumed enormous proportions.
He has been under treatment of doc
tor ever since, who says he is suffer

whiskey he drank, and his life is in
danger.

Mrs. Wigfall was trying to think OF
some scheme to keep her husband IN
side the house he approached her.
Il thought I would 60 into town
to the lodge tonight, he said. i
shall probably be away till mid
night.
Mrs. Wigfall tried to look disap-
pointed.
'sYou are always gong away some
where and leaving me at home to take
care of myself, she said with a. little
pout. Il was just planning how l
could give you a pleasant evening at

Tillman-My friend, you go ahead
leave that fooling business for Marion
Butler and those fellows to take care
of. It is the struggle over your local
offices that is keeping you fellows
apart in this State. If you keep on
chasing after the false Gods; l hope
the Populists will whip you out. Let
us do so now and start the movement
that will save the country from ruin.
Follow our lead in South Carolina,
and I will guarantee that we will lead
you down the straight road.
Voice-And take Mary Ann Butler
along in the procession with you.
(Cheers.)
Tillman-Well, yes, III take him
along. He has said he was willing to
put aside all factional and party feel
ilgs and notions and vote for any
man standing on the free silver plat
form; that he wanted to be in a party
with no other platform but free silver.
He is for his country and not for any
creed. prolonged cheering
Senator Tillman thanked the audi
ence for its attention, and took his
seat. While the audience, which was
composed of more than four-fifths

gave them about the cranks they had,
he seemed to make lasting impress
sion upon them.

iarly called by the Tar Heels, was then

ment must go out of banking. What
is it doing in banking: This means
the retirement Of over five hundred
million of paper money and silver Ger
tifcate and greenbacks, and the issu-
ance Of gold bonds. That will further
contract the currency. They have
not only robbed you; they now want
to rob your children. The bonds of
the United States are selling away up
yonder above par, showing that the
people Of other countries and our own
want them. Why can't some gold
greenback paper be as good as
bonds? All of this is intended to wiring
interest from the people, and give you
a paper currency, based on what. Is
it the intention to have the National
banking system enlarged on gold
basis alone and make the government
guarantee the notes: The bonds and
the greenbacks rest on the same basis:
The confidence of the people in the
government. If the bonds are good,
why not the greenbacks? Fiat money
they cry. The bonds are fiat. If one
paper is good with interest, why isn't
the other without it: They want the
interest: that's where the shoe pinches.

Wasn't that fine performance of
our Secretary of the Treasury and
President last fall: Instead of re-
deeming the paper of the government
in coin as the law provides, they paid
it in gold. They created panic by
pretending thatthe gold would all flow
out. Under the plea of maintaining
parity, they drove silver down and
gold up, and they issued the bonds to
buy glod-what pretense, Taking in

Bah, (Applause.) Such treachery
is enough to make man hold his
head down in shame-especially a
man who voted for them, as l did.
Senator Tillman then read an extract
from the Morgan-Belmont contract.
He also quoted what President Cleve

the interest on the bonds. Here we
