Williams to Be Tried ro-Morrsv.


j. N. Williams, whom Sheriff
Dempsey brought back from Henry
county the latter part OF last week
to answer to the charge OF seducipg
Miss Leona Cousins of Keytesville
under promise OF marriage. was tax
en- before Squire ii. a. Wheeler last
Saturday. and his bond fixed. at
$40O for bis appearance for trial to.
morrow.
In default OF the required bond the
prisoner VAS committed to jail.
1t was rumored on the street last
Monday that Williams and the
Cousins girl were to be married, and
thus stay further legal proceedings
against him, but he and the girl are
flrst counins and the statute forbids
their marriage.
Williams, however. claims they
are only second cousins and II he can
establish that such is the case to the
satisfaction of Prosecuting Attorney
Wallace. il Is likely that Williams
will be permitted to right the
wrongs he has done the confiding
victim Of his lusts, by marrying her.

Grandma Dismukes.

Grandma j. l. Dismukes OF tne
Salisbury Democrat, after curling
her bangs, wipiug and adjusting her
glasses, and donning her immacu-
late. be-ruffied nightcap. assumes a
look OF owl-like wisdom and. rises
TO inform the people OF Charlton
county that the repeal OF the Sails
bury circuit courts was not an issue
in the last campaign.
Grandma Dismukes is q right nice,
kind -hearted old lady and we respect
ner, but she 10 q back number. q by

There 10 not an intelligent 10

what knows that the repeal OF the

Mr. Schooler went before the peo-
ple q pronounced advocate OF the re-
peal OF the bill establishing two
terms OF circuit court at Salisbury.
He was nominated by good ma
jority over bis honorable Democrat
.ic opponent, Judge w. E. Perkinson.
Who was non-committal on the Sails
bury court question.
Alter having been chosen as the
Democratic nominee, Mr.. Schooler
wns still unflinching in his pledge to
introduce bill. II elected TO the
legislature. providing for the aboli-
tion OF the two Salisbury terms oi
circuit court.
Again, Mr.. Sehooler was successful
st the polls, although running be-
hind his ticket for the reason that
nearly 400 Salisbury Democrats
had let their nnger-nails grow after
the Democratic primary election.
and sscratchedr Mr.. Schooler al
most beyond recognition at the gen.
.eral election. Why? Becausp he
was pledged TO the repeal ofthe Sal
isbuEy court bill
hut 0rsndms Dismukes pastes
down her "beau-catchers." smiles
coquetishly. "winks the other eye"
and endeavors to make the voters
and the Missouri legislature believe
that Mr.. Schooler was nominated

What paper published that ''scur-

1t was the Salisbury Democrat.
AZ Mr.. Schooler hailed from Salis-

tnounced by citizens OF Salisbury as
ga dirty bird that befouIed its own
nest" for favoring the repeal OF the
Salisbury courts.
According to its own statements
and arguing from its own stand

Ga scurriloss report against Mr..
:Schooler," and thus assisting in his
nomination and election. was quite
a. "dirty q bird" as Schooler and
was parfieeps criminis In cripPling

In her entire harangue Graudm Q
Dismukes utters one truth when she
says that the CoURIER ably and elo-
-quentiy assisted in the Democratic
campaign in urging Democrats TO
-stand by the nominees OF their par
ty. We are proud OF our Efforts In

NEW DEVICE FOR SHIPS.
An Anchor Which, When Fired From a
 Gun, will Carry a Line Ashore.

Thousands of human lives have been sacrificed because of the absence of a suit able apparatus for establishing communi cation between stranded vessel and the shore, but an invention has now been pat ented which, it is believed, will effect this purpose Hitherto resort has been had to tho bomb, which carries a line from the shore to the stranded ship, so that Q brooches buoy can bo rigged to land pas sengers and crew in safety. All of our life saving stations are equipped with this apparatus, which has saved many lives and justified itself
 But the ship that is driven ashore upon an uninhabited beach can have no hope of such succor. The surf raging during a storm makes landing in boat impossible, and the bomb which flies through the air affords the only hope for the crew. The aim of the inventor of the new apparatus is to equip every vessel with gun and bomb, so that she is not dependent upon a life saving crew ashore.
 The new gun fires long and heavy pro- jectile which in reality is an anchor. The arms of this anchor spring into place as soon as it leaves the muzZle of the gun, and it will bury itself on the shore or in the sand in shallow water. Even on rocky coast sucn an dnchor iS preuty suro to catch in some crevice. If it does not so catch, it may be hauled back to tho ship and again fired, and this may be repeated until good anchorage is found.
 The projectile carries light line along with it, or rather two lengths of the same line, each end of which is kept aboard the ship. This line runs over pulley in .ie heavy bomb, and as soon as the latter has firmly anchored Itself the crew aboard the ship have established communication with the shore.
 It is the invention of Anton Schmitt of Butler, N. J., to whom patent has been granted. d.-New York World.

MRS. MOBILES CONFESSES.
She 'Wouldn't Have Killed Her Husband il She Had Known What Fuss They
 Would Make"

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-The wife and daughters were among the witnesses in the Nobles murder trial at Jeffersonville, Ga, today Mrs. Mobiles and her daugh- ter, Debbie, are indicted as principals in the crime. Essie Nobes was also a wit ness She testified that on the night her father was killed she heard him upon re- turning from the field call on her mother to bring him the gun. Her mother left the house with it and was gone several minutes. Upon her mothers return wit ness inquired where her father was.
 He is out at the barn watching for a thief who has been stealing corn,' the mother replied.
 The witness, Essie, retired without sec ing her father. thinking that it was very unusual for him not to join the family at supper. The next morning after get ting up she inquired where her father was and was told by her mother that he had gone to Danville, small town a few miles away. The mother stated that the father left al o'clock that morning.
 Ashley Coombs neighbor, described his visit to the Mobiles upon learning that the old man had disappeared. He caught Mrs. Nobles in several misstatements in regard to her husband. The wife also told conflicting stories about Mrs. Fam ble, wife of the negro who assisted Mrs. Nobles in killing the old man.
 Debbie Nobles was on the stand. She declared that she knew of the murder, but had nothing to do with it. She is IS years old. Her sister Essie is 13.
 Mrs Nobles has confessed to paying S10 to Gus Famble to have him kill her husband. In her confession she stated that he was mean to her. which was the reason why she wanted him killed. She added that if she had thought that they would make { much fuss about it she would not have done it. The evidence is very strong against Mrs Mobiles. Gus Fambles, negro. and his wife Mary.
 Dalton Joyner, another negro, who is under arrest, denies complicity, but Fam ble says Joyner assisted in the crime. It is said that one of the prisoners has told theA details, stating how the blows were struck with hatchet, Mrs Nobles striking the first and Famble and Joy ner striking the subsequent blows.

PECULIAR FISH.
They Are Hind and Inhabit . Bottomless
 Pond With No Visible Outlet.


 Pond With No Visible Outlet.
 Tho queer fish that for short time ev- cry season inhabit the Bottomless pond, near Milford, Conn.,, made their first ap- pearance for this year last Sunday morn ing. Tho pond lies in deep ravino on the southeast sidc of the New Haven turnpike, only two miles from the village. Tho way farer finds himself standing on tho edge of q circular gulf some 75 feet across. The perpendiculnr walls are of green marble, beautifully shaded and mottled. About 30 feet below the level where the path termi mates the walls end at a fairly even shelf about 12 feet wide. On one side series of rudcly cut steps afford means of descent to the level border of the pond
 Old Dan Buckley was huckleberrying nenr tho quarry three years ago when he discovered the fish for which the pond is celebrated. As he approached the edge of the pond quietly he saw about 20 good sized fish lying motionless near the surface. He dislodged pebble by accident. and at the sound of it's fall the fish vanished as if by magic. Last year they appeared carly in June, and several unsuccessful attempts were made to catch them. A New Haven fishing enthusiast took fishing tackle and a folding canvas boat to tho pond one morning His scheme was to snare the fish if they refused to notice his bait. He launched his boat safely and enjoyed tho sensation of being the first man to drift out on the Bottomless pond, but the fish disappeared. For two hours he waited in vain for their return. Before he came ashore be tried to sound the depth of the pond. He let out 90 yards of trout line, well weighted, but he found no bottom.
 An attempt to catch the fish is to be made this season by a Yale professor and his friends. Their plan is to set fine gill net horizontally across the pond at depth of about three feet They hope that the fish in rising will run into the meshes and be caught. All the fish are of about tho same size-1S inches long and slender, like a dacc in form, but almost jet black. No scales are discerniblc, and their fins and tails resemble those of the common brook trout When in repose, they are only about three or four inches below the sur face and invariably face toward the north. The eyes are large and pretrude from the head.
 It has been virtually proved that the fish arc stone blind, for although they sink out of sight at the lghtest jar or noise they do not notice the waving of poles or leaves over the pond. The people here call the fish white eyes.
 If the pond is fed by subterrancan streams of water, these fish, it is thought, may be visitors from an underground lake or from distant river. There are only about two months in which to study their habits. At the opening of August the t, strange yisitants disappear as suddenly as they come. Henry Futile, the cxpressman was tho first person to 500 thom this year, and he says they look tho same as ever but are rather bigger than last year. A dozen or more persons have visited the pond since Sunday and have seen the fish. Now York Sun.
