these rude people do actually love to
work. They get up before day and
cook and eat breakfast before sunrise
and are off to the field. One of my
tenants told me he was always sorry
when Sunday came, for it was mighty
long day to him.
But the old-fashioned wheel and
loom were very useful and pleasant
things to work with. My wife still
loves to tell her children how she used
to spin and weave on Saturdays and
sometimes when she came from school
in the evenings, and how Ailsey--
Tips mother-was the best weaver
and could make ten yards of plain
cloth q day or six yards of jeans.
Becky was the brag spinner and my
wife was taught to spin and weave by
these family negroes, for they all
loved her and were good to her and
she was good to them. She used to
spin awhile and weave awhile and then
practice awhile on the piano and it
was q pleasant mixture of music all
round, and she looked mighty pretty
in her homemade linsey dresses-she
did--that's fact. BILL ARP.

HIS THIRD PUNISHMENT.
a Missionary Who Had Been Unfortu-
nate With His Wives.

The story is told of q missionary
who, as some one remarked, "had been
unfortunate with his wives" This
missionary had married at home and
taken his wife with him TO India.
There after two years, she died, and
the brokcn-hearted widowor received
permission from the missionary board
of his church to come home.
Here he promptly consolcd himself,
and with his second spouse returned
to the field Of his former labor But
fate WAS still unkind, and at the end
OF year he was once more beraved.
Again he sought the permission of
his board TO return home, but this
time they gently but firmly declined,
saying they did not feel justified in the
expense OF giving him two holidays
within two years. They suggested,
dclicately, however, that if his desire
was to rccoup himself for his recent
loss, ii was possible for him TO depu-
tie a friend to secure for him new
pa'tncr Of his joys and sorrows. This
he accordingly did, and, after consid-
cradle correspondence and sundry de-
lays, the wicc-DCreaved widowcr re-
ceiyed word that the bride selected for
him was on her way to his arms.
The day the steamer was signalled
INC DrtucSfOOm-clccJ went down TO
meet it, accompanied by IL married
friend. On the return Of the latter to
his house, he was pounccd upon by his
wife, who demanded all the particulars
OF the meeting.

by Haynes. The jury disagreed, seven
TO five for acquittal. A second trial
J was about to DO had in July, before
Judge L. b. Fraser, when the defence,
observing that the jury summoned
consisted wholly of people from the
Pine Belt district, feared that, on ac-
count of the strong sentiment there
against Haynes, IL really just verdict
was doubtful, although the iurymen
were reputable. 1t was in fact our
policy to have the jury at least COM
posed OF city men, and those from tho
outside. On technicality the case
was continued. ~
Meanwhile, the prosecution found
pair of alleged bloody trousers,
identified by Haynes's mothere as his,
under the cottonseed pile where the
boy had slept at Loomis'. The defence
secured clipping ofrom these on which
were spots, and then'laid the matter
of whether they should be microscopic
cally and chemically examined bef0re
the prisoner.
Said he. Mr.. Douglass, have 'em
examined. No blood can DO found ON
en-. The spots proved TO be rust. K
AT tho second trial, before Judge
Aldrich, tho jury was out twenty-four
hours and then returned n verdict Of
guilty. The case was appealed TO the
supreme Court on points OF law, and
the verdict sustained. a lengthy petit
tion for communication Of sentence, sign
ed by citizens OF Columbia, was sent to
Governor Tillman, as well as counter
petition by those who lived in the
neighborhood Of Horrsbys. The pres
ent'Senator took great interest in the
case. He visited Haynes in the peni-
Tertiary and saw him clone. Now,
rhn, .,fl l,s..
man under such circumstances it is
very potent factor in making him tell
him the truth. Haynes was frightened,
but he repeated without variation the
same story he had told in the Begin
nning. Governor Tillman even sent
detective out to the scene of the muir
der. 1t was the theory of the defence
that certain young man living not
very far from the Hornsbys had ap-
preached the girl, with whom he was
acquainted, on the evening of the mur-
der that she had set her pail down in
order to chat; that advances had been
made against which she protested, and
that, seeing she was about to escape
him, the man killed her. The detec-
tive foolishly made known his purpose.
instead of working secretly to make
friends, as instructed, with the man
we suspected, and, finding public senti-
ment q dangerous thing to deal with,
left the place without accomplishing
anything. Two years after the first
trial, Haynes was led to the scaffold
there he made his farewell statement,
in every respect similar to the story
always told; but as this was test, he
was rcprived. Finally, however, when
no more reprives' could be granted
him, he was hanged, once more telling
the same story OF innocence.
He was hanged on purely circum-
stantial evidence" er
