Sam Tillman, the negro convict in the

TilIman was sent to the penitentiary fif-

a man in Burke county. He went to tho
coal mines in Dade county, and for all the
long years that have passed since then he

why Rice Isn't Mentioned In the
Bible.
From the Aberdeen Examiner.

FIOM inc Aberdeen EXamIner.
A book before US says: Rice is not
mentioned in the Bible as it did not grow
in the countries in which Bible happen
ings occurred" We think the author is
mistaken. The fact that the word rice
does not appear is no evidence of the nom
existence of product that in the Bible
era was feeding the majority of tho
worlds people. From the earliest ages the
blanket expression, corn" has been used
to cover all manner of grains and seeds
used for food. In England the word now
officially wheat; in Scotland IL usually
means oats, while here it only refers to
maize. The word corn frequently oc-
ours in the Bible, and when we consider
the enormous commerce of Palestine, par
ticularly in the days of Solomon, 1t is nat
ural TO suppose that rice was among the
imports, and that. like wheat and other
grains, 1t finds shelter under the market
term, corn"

needed is more interest. At their meet
ing last Sunday afternoon, the subject Of
the formation of a Y. VI. c. \. was
thoroughly discussed and a great many
good points were brought out in regards
to this important movement.
We desire to call the attention of the
young men of our city to this effort put
forth. 1t is the desire of those who
have enlisted in this enterprise, to Sc
cure rooms appropriate for reading
rooms; place, where our young men,
who have an evening to spend, and when
time hangs heavily, to have this place so
arranged that apleasant evening can be
spent.

eSted in this good work will show their
appreciation of the efforts launched by
these earnest young men, and give them
not only words of encouragement, bat
contribute literally, so that when the
proper time arrives, beftting quarters
can be secured to place this important
association upon footing that will in
