son Henry Fountain, were, on or about
the lst day of February, A. D. 1896, kid.
naped in the county of Dona Ana and the

Whereas, have heretofore offered
reward of $500 for the arrest and delivery
to the sheriff of Dona Ana county of each
of the persons connected with the murder
of Col. A. j. Fountain-ssid amount be-

by offer further reward of $500 for each
of the parties who murdered Henry Foun
tain, the 9-year. old son of Col. A. j.
Fountain, said rewards to be payable ont

appropriated for rewards for the 47th
fiscal year upon conviction Of the parties
80 arrested, or, upon the making OF salts

further offer full aad complete par
dor to any party connected with the COM
mission of said crime-except the prin-

Owing to the gravity Of the crime and
the urgent necessity for the arrest and
conviction of the perpetrators of this as
sassination, l further offer reward of
$4,000 for the arrest and conviction of
such criminals; this additional reward,
however, being subject to the approval

SIXTEEN TO ONE.-What does 16
to one mean ? We heard of q very
intelligent gentleman recently who
said he was in favor of it but did not
know what it meant. He said it was
enough to know that it was Demo-
cratic. But it is not enough. Every
man who is in favor of the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to ]
ought to know what it means. Under
the coinage law of 1892, 8714 grains
of pure silver were put in a dollar
and % 1-5 grains of pure gold were
put in dollar and 16 gold dollars
were to weigh as much as one silver
dollar. Divide 3714 by % 1.5 and
you will find that the quotient is al
most exactly 18. That is what 16 to
1 means-simply that there are l6
times as many grains of silver used in
coming a silver dollar as are used
of gold in coming a gold dollar. The
goldbugs claim that many of those who
were in favor of free silver at 16 to !
do not know what it means. This is
the explanation. And under that law
any man who had 3714 grains of
pure silver or % 1-5 grains of pure gold
could take it to the mint and have it
coined into dollar. The law stood
for about 80 years and under it the
country prospered and grew great and
rich, and increased from 13 little
struggling States to 86 great and
prosperous ones.-Anderson Advo-
cate,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-06-10

that Of another day. He had stuck to
the roulette table all night.
Hungry and tired, he went to a cheap
restaurant for his breakfast, and while
it was being prepared glanced over a
morning paper. Like every one who has
ever dabbled, even a little, in Wall
street speculation, he turned to the
financial column. The "bulls," he
read, were rallying from their long Pc
riod Of depression and the market was
again active. The very stock in which
he had lost everything was leading the
van in the upward movement. Could he
have held on to the amount Of it he con-
trolled at one time, he would be already
a comparatively rich man, and in a good
way for soon becoming one really. A
savage longing to be revenged upon fate
by retrieval of his losses in the very
stock that had caused them seized him.
IF he could only have few dollars with
which to operate now-half even Of the
pile of winnings he possessed at one
time last night-he could clutch fortune
by the throat and master her. But they
were gone, and where else could he now
get few dollars? Even the last little
souvenirs of his mother that the pawn
broker would take were gone. And the
more he thought Of it the more he felt
a conviction that fortune was sure to
smile upon him if he had only little
capital with which to WOO her.
At last, from the heart Of his intense
desire, the lurid light Of an evil sugges-
ton flashed out upon him, one that,
when he at first repelled it, returned to
assail him with redoubled intensity.
His friend, John Latham, treasured
in leathern case in his room a huge
silver flagon, racing trophy won By his
father half century ago, the one heir
loom Of his family and cherished by
him almost as the apple Of his eye. 1t
was thing Of no practical utility,
but nevertheless Of considerable value,
and its associations made him very
proud of it. IF, Chester thought, he
could only borrow that fagon and pawn
it for few hours, just to get a stake
for the roulette table, he would be able
to redeem it, restore it to its place with
out John being any the wiser and with
the surplus Of his winnings could make
another dash into Wall street and con-
quer fortune. Nothing could be sim
pier, few things more certain.
He did not at once give way to the
temptation. Not until afternoon had he
fully made up his mind to yield to it
But having done 30 he was impatient
to act.
That was the purpose he had in view
when he entered Johns room after Ad-
die Halls departure, and it was to
await Lottie's leaving him there alone
within reach Of Johns silver flagon that
he seated himself at the window.

SINGULAR BEoUEsTs.-From the
will of General Blackett, governor of
Plymouth, proved in 1881: 81 desire
my body to be kept SO long as 1t may
not be offensive, and that one Of my
fingers or toes may be cut of, to secure
a certainty of my being dead. I fur
ther request my dear wife that, as she
has been troubled with one old fool, she
will not think of marrying a second"
From the will of fthe Rev. DR.. Ap-
pleby, of St. Brides, proved in 1893:
3I leave my body to be dressed in a
flannel waistcoat, an old surtout coat,
and breeches without lining and pock-
cts; no shoes (having done walking)
and worsted wig, if one can be got,
in order that / may rest comfortably"
Here is also evidence that wives in
1895 were no better than those of the
present day. 1t is an extract from the
will of a mariner of Bristol: "My ex-
ecutors to pay, out of the first moneys
collected, to my beloved wife, ifliving,
one shilling, which I gave as a token
of my love, that she may buy hazel
nuts, as know she is better pleased
with cracking them than she is with
mending the holes in her stockings"

be there was always chance of their
having misunderstood mans mean
ing and language. For example he
quoted, or pretended to quote, cop
iously from the Scriptures, giving the
four evangelists' accounts of the cruci-
fixion, which he described in detail.
At length the judge said:
"Will you be kind enough to give
the references?"
~ am quoting from the Holy Bible"
said the lawyer.
eyes, yes," said the judge "that's
all right; but we want your references;
page, chapter and verse if you please"
And I repeated the demand. The
lawyer turned upon the judge and
myself what was intended to be q look
of withering pity and contempt and
said:
"May it please the court, am ad-
dressing the jury. fl were address
ing the court or counsel / might feel
it necessary to give reference for what
I quote; but I am addressing religious
and God.fearing men, who read their
Bibles with care and devotion, and
who know exactly where TO find the
quotations I give without having to
be helped out by the chapter and
verse as if they were unenlightened
infldels."
The judge and myself hung our
heads under this scathing rebuke, and
the jury. were so tickled with this fiat
terry of their Scriptural lore that the
lawyer won the case.-Ex.

AN INSULT TO THE HoG.-Some
witty paragraphist seeks to insult the
Porcine family by this comparison:
"Men are just like hogs, however
distasteful this may sound to the hogs.
When u hog gets an ear of corn, every
other hog will trot along behind him,
squeal and whine and toady for bite,
but just let the front hog get fast in q
crack and every son of a sow will
jump on him and tear him to pieces.
Just 80 with men. AS long as man
is prosperous and has money he can't
keep his friends off with baseball
bat. The minute he is unfortunate
and his wealth is gone he is not only
snubbed by his former alleged friends,
but they at once begin to do him all
the harm possible. When man
starts up grade the world falls behind
and pushes. When he starts down
grade the world steps to one side and
greases the track"

PUZZLED THE TEACHER.-Country
school masters have peculiar expert
ences sometimes. A rural pedagogue
relates that one day he received from
small boy a slip of paper which was
supposed to contain an excuse for the
non-attendance of the small boys big
brother. He examined the paper, and
saw thereon the word: "Cepatomtogo-
taturing." Utterly unable to make
out the puzzle, he appealed to the
small boy, who explained that it meant
that his brother had been "kept at
home to 60 taturing"-that is, to dig
potatoes.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-06-10

and it was represented to him that the
currency could not be obtained except
in silver, which would load six freight
cars. He replied with the declaration
that the six cars should be delivered to
him at the State line, and that he
would order out the troops to escort it
to Columbia.
"By -l' he exclaimed to the
banker who was negotiating with him,
"you can't scare me by threatening to
pay in silver" But he was finally
pacified and induced to accept ex-
change on Charleston.
1t is possible that the continued en-
ployment of Mr.. Rhind and the re-
newals of the exclusive option to him
were the results of the confidence he
inspired in his ability, and that his
$49, 900 commission is his exclusively,
not to be shared with anybody. It is
also possible that the duties of Mr..
Evans, now governor, as attorney for
Mr.. Rhind did not interfere with or
affect his actions and course in the leg
islature, and that he could and did sep
arate his private interests and his pub
lie duties entirely. 1t is further posi-
BILE that State Treasurer Bates earned
the $4,000 paid him by the syndicate
fairly and fully. In the language of
Marc Antony, they are "all honorable
men,"
It is not possible, however, for Till
man and his followers, in view of this
transaction, with any consistency to
continue to accuse the president and
Secretary Carlisle of mismanagement,
waste, favoritism, or worse, or to de-
nounce with horror the idea Of attor-
neys or members of trusts, corpora
tions, and syndicates sitting in con-
gress.

SMELLING A PORT.

Bombardments are very terrifying
but small arms do the killing, says The
Southern Magazine.
During the bombardment of Freder'
icksburg only one citizen of the town
was killed. Vicksburg was often
under bombardment during two years,
and prior to the siege only two per.
SONS were killed. Shells were thrown
into Charleaton during the whole Pc
riod of the war, but only a few persons
were fatally hurt.
Porter's fleet of SO men-of-war bonn
barded Fort Fisher all Christmas Eve
and all day on Christmas Day, 1864,
throwing into the place 10000 projec-
tiles and killing three Confederates.
Marshal Bazaine's statement that
$4,000 of his soldiers were struck by
the missiles of the enemy during the
siege of Metz is incredible.
If Sarah Bernhardt was 80 much
impressed by the recent shelling OF
Rio Janeiro, what would she have felt
could she have witnessed the bonn
bardment of Fort Morgan by Farra-
|gut. For 12 days and nigets the firing
was kept up. At times 300 great guns
were necessarily firing, except when
they ceased action to rest the men and
cool the pieces.
Yet the loss of life was small, and at
Fort Powell, which place he lombard
ed for 12 days only one man was
killed.
But in all the history of the war the
defence of Fort Sumter will ever
stand the most memorable. For four
years that Confederate fortress Was
under almost incessant bombardment
by the heaviest artillery in the world.
The Rev. Johnston, now rector OF a
church in Charleston, was major OF en-
gineers in the fort. He tells US that
during the last two years of the war
over $4,000 cannon shot and shells
were thrown into the work.
