A Petrifled Man.

A genuine sensation was created yes
terday morning by the report that pet
rifed man had been found some where
above the city.
Inquiry into the matter elected the
following facts: The curiosity was found
in Saluda river, on Sunday, five miles
north of the Congaree bridge, by Mr.. w.
M. Buff, who went to look after his fish
nets, and he ran his boat down to the
mouth Of the creek. As the river and
creek were very low he saw the toes of
the man above the water. He went at
once to his home, which is not far dis
tant, and got his son, Mr.. j. E. Buff, and
also Mr.. W. B. Shull to 60 with him to
the place, where the three unearthed the
body.
The finger end toe nails are plainly
seen. The petri6ed body weighs over 400
pounds and is over six feet long, and
seems to be the form Of white man,
judging by the moustache and hair.
It is curiosity worth seeing, and 1t is
very probable that Mr. Buff will exhibit
it at the State Fair and afterwards at the
Atlanta Exposition. A reporter for the
State saw this curiosity yesterday, and to
the best of his belief it is the genuine re-
mains of a human being which has been
turned to stone.-Colum6iG STATE.

A Kansas Jefreys.

WICHITA, KANSAS, Nov. 10.-William
Meyer, secretary of the Anheuser- Busch
Brewing Association agency in this city,
was ordered committed to Jail by Judge
Tucker for contempt of Court last night.
The cause Ct contemp is very peculiar,
and is said to be the first of the kind oc-
curing in the United States. The assist
ant Attorney General was prosecuting a
man named Heron for q violation of the
prohibitory liquor law. Herron's liquors
were brought into Court under the search
and seizure clause of the law. Expert
testimony was required to prove to the
jury that what seemed to be beer was
beer and hence Intoxicating.
Meyer was subponaed as an expert wit
ness, and in his examination lie stated he
knew by taste only that beer was beer.
Just then the Judge ordered the Court
bailiff to pull cork, which was done.
The Judge presented the bottle to Meyer
and ordered him to drink it In order to
testify to the character of its contents.
Meyer refused to drink the beer and the
Judge i'm mediately issued q commitment,
sending him to Jail for contempt. Habeas
corpus proceedings were Immediately
commenced and the papers are now in
the hands of the officers to serve upon the
jailer.
Lawyers are divided in their opinion as
to whether judge can exercise authority
to the extent of compelling witness to
drink into1icants in the interest ofjustice.

Lawlessncss in Mississippi.

New ORLEANS, Nov. ia special
dispatch from Purvis, Miss, about one
hundred miles from New Orleans, says /:
The jail at that place was broken into
about midnight Sunday and Will Pur-
Wis, the convicted White Capper, under
sentence to be banged, was liberated.
Purvis was once strung up by the sheriff
at Columbus, but was saved by breaking
of the rope. The sheriff was persuaded
to postpone further attempt to execute
the sentence of the law until the Courts
could review it. The Supreme Court
last week resentenced Purvls to be bang
ed on December IL. Many doubt the
guilt of the prisoner and Governor Stone
has been deluged with petitions to COM
mute the sentence to imprisonment.
