An Abducted South Carolina
Girl Found.

The Atlanta Constitution of
Tuesday tells of the finding in
Gainesville, Ga, of the pretty
Mary Bryson, who was abducted
about two weeks ago from her
hone near Franklin county, by
her brother: -:n-law, r. A. Henry.
The latter being wild, his father
in law, old man James Bryson,
had secured the separation of his
daughter and the young man,
Henry, perhaps for spite, then
persuaded the youngest daught-
er i'll the "ryson family to run
away, telling her he would Sc
cure her work in Atlanta. He
placed her, however, in a board
ing school at Gainesville, and
Neut to Atlanta himself, where
he has been captured, and sent
back to North Carolina. The
girl was glad to go back home.

A Law That Cigar Dealers Are
Not Up On.

An up-to-date d II III III G I
to~day brought to light a section
of the revenue law that is viola

at a cigar stand he asked for
three for a quarter. The clerk
reached in the show case, picked
up a handful of cigars and pass

drummer. "What and whyfore?'
asked the clerk. "Why' for
handing out those cigars said
the drummer. "Don't you know
that it is against the law to hand
out cigars except by the box?' 1t
is, but the clerk didn't know it.
The law requires that the seller
shall not touch a cigar, but hand
out the box containing them.
The meaning of this law no one
knows, but it is the law all the
same, and the fine for its viola
ton is S5o.-CAarzotte Observer

A Big Bluff.

Some time last year a negro
named James Copeland was sent
to the Virginia penitentiary from
Suffolk for an assault OH a white
lady. After being there for
short while he made his escape
and nothing was -heard Of him
until few days ago, when he
was seen in Portsmouth. Cope>
land, i'll order to keep the author
tiles off Of him, writes a letter,
dates it "portsn outh, Va, April
Ist, 1896" and gives it to a ne
gro sailor and requested him to
mail it at Barbadees in the West
Indies. 1t was directed to Jailor
Siverson of Norfolk county, and
i'll it he makes threats about what
he intends to do whag he returns.

SUGAR GONE UP

Sugar has gone up about half
cent a pound by the wholesale.
The advance was sudden, as such
advances usually are in things
which are controlled by Trusts.
Usually the reason given for ad-
Vances III prices ofTrust- -controli-
ed articles is scarcity. When
the Sugar Trust wants to create
a scarcity all it has to do is to
shut up shop for a while, blow
out its refinery fires, discharge
its workman and wait until the
stock Of sugar III the hands of the
merchants is pretty we'll eaten
up and people begin to want
more sugar and then run up the
price. This is probably the case
now, for i'll addition to the i'll
crcaslng demand there is a big
fruit crop III sight, the canning
of which will call for an extra
ordinary amount, and hence the
Trust jumps OH the people and
runs the price up. Halfa centa
pound on the immense quantity
OF sugar the Trust handles,
means millions in its Golfers, and
millions out Of the pockets of the
consuners. AS the Trust IS one
of h ose highly favored, tariff
protected institutions, it has the
game i'll its own hands and can
raise the price up just as high as
It's greed may suggest and its
India rubber conscience allow.

The New York Post points out that
the South Carolina case is by no means
the first instance in which the United
States courts have interfered to set aside
and declare invalid state laws, and even
the DEGREES of state courts. The Post
cites the California case of the Chinese
laundryman Yick Wo, who was arrested
and fined under an ordinance of the city
of San Francisco which forbade any per-
son to carry on a laundry in any part of
the city or county without first having
obtained the consent of the board of SUI
pervisors, except the same be located in
a building constructed of brick or stone ~
The penalty for violating this ordinance
was to be fine not exceeding $1,000 or
imprisonment not exceeding six months
or both. The point wherein this or
dlnance Disseminated against Chinese,
and so became obnoxious to the constitu-
tion of the United States and the Revised
Statutes, appears when it is known that
the great majority of Chinese laundry
men carried on their business in small
buildings, many of which they owned,
and that the supervisors refused to grant
permission to a Chinese to continue that
business in such buildings, while permit
ing practically everybody else to do so.
Yick Wo appealed from a. sentence of SO
fine or 10 days in Jail to the supreme
court of the state which affirmed the
sentence and sustained the ordinance.
Then an anpaaI WAC taEap to tho S1l-
preme Court of the United States, which
at once declared the ordinance invalid
and discharged the prisoner.
