Solicitor Henry concluded the argu-

Strangled by her Lover.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Noy. 14.-Mrs.
Ravemah Caraway, formerly OF Knox.
vile, Tenn, but recently of Ocala, Fla,
was strangled to-day by her lover, R.
Willie Wilkes, formerly of Florence, S.
c., but of late years of Ocala. The man
and woman came here from Ocala two
weeks ago and have frequently quarrel
led. To-day Wilkes went to the woman's
room, and after quarrel threw her on
the bed and choked her until she was
dead. The murderer coolly walked out
of the house, and the body was not found
until half hour later.
Wilkes was captured by barber as he
was riding out Of town on a bicycle. He
drew two pistols, but the barber 60,
the drop and handed him over to the po.
lice.
From letters found in the room, it ap.
pears that Wilkes planned the murder
and intended to commit suicide, but his
nerye failed him. The maiden name o,
Mrs. Caraway is not known. Her moth.
or, sister and brother live in Knox.
Vile, Tenn. Physicians believe Wilkes
has murderous mania, so far as women
are concerned. It is said he mas attacked
other women. Mrs Caraway was only
"a years old and very pretty. She leaves
two children at Ocala. Her friends did
not know she was with Wilkes.

The subject CT the new Court House
and Jail has not been discussed very
much on our strests, but what has been
said indicates that the necessity fos both
are being more fully realized, and that if
the question were again submitted to the
people the vote would be almost unani-
mously eyes" The argument is ad-
vanced by some that the large 'sNo" vote
in the country boxes, plainly indicated
that our farmers are opposed to new
Court Ho1se, but this is not the case. We
have talked to number of them, who
assure US they voted "No' because they
were fully not advised as to the site and the
tax levy provided for. We regard this
as quite unfortunate. It will be two
years before another general election is
held, and special election could not be
held, ofcourse, without considerable cost.
Our Court House is unsafe and our Jail
so insecure that we wonder our Sheriff
does not have more escapes. Something
must be done. What shall it be?

Dangerous Counterfeiters Caught.

The police last night arrested danger
Gus trio OF caur.': settlers with evidence
to convict, an,i ,ne arrest in Spartanburg
of three Others the day before, indicates
that a big band of criminals are out to
"do' the people with mints somewhere
near open to unlimited coinage at the
ratio of lG parts of lead to one of alloy.
The description of the counterfeit coin
passed in Spartanburg Identifies the dol
lars palmed off on merchants here, and it
is evident both came from the asame
mould.
The three in the lock up here gave their
names as NJ. NJ. and w. A. Duncan, Of
Dark Corner, and J. +. Dobson, of Fair
Forest. They began at Bellott's store
and came on down Main street, making a
canvass of the East End merchants, pass
ing bogus dollar for package OF cigar
cites and pocke'ing the change.
About 7:30 o'clock they ended their
tour at George Howard's grocery estab.
lishment in McBee avenue where they
we're called when they presented one of
their coins to the proprietor.
The police in the meantime had gotten
wind of their dealings and George proved
some assistance in the arrest. Before
they got to the latter's store Messrs. Wier
and Finlay reported them to the police
and gave their description and the officers
were very close at their heels.
The two Dnncans and Dobson held q
conference just outside of HoWard's S store
and he says he overheard one advise q
speedy exit from the city by the first
started toward the Air Line depot, and
George reported his experience to the
officers.
Chief Kennedy in company with sew
eral citizens marched after their retreatipg
forms and few hundred yards below
the station house held them up. The
chief halted them and while they gazed
down the barrel Of his revolver he an
nounced the object of the Interruption.
They protested their innocence and eX-
patiated upon the injury they would
receive to their characters by an arrest,
claiming they could easily find the man
from whom they received this dollar they
passed on George but to no avail. They
were escorted to the station house, and in
the search that followed nineteen coun-
terfeit dollars were found in pocket
book on Dobson's person and one on
Duncan's. They wers relieved of $40
they had in small change and fifteen tell
tale packs Of cigarettes were taken from
Dobson.
The prisoners were locked up still
claiming to be innocent and in good
spirits.
When seen at the cell they gave their
names but were reticent about their
crime.
Questioned about the cause of their
arrest, the spok explained that
they had stole grist mill and were caught
when they went back after the dam-and

at the expense Of the interviewer.

itations. They are light and the inscrip.
tion is not clear cut; but they might be

The feelings of depression which settled
down upon us last Sunday morning, rob-
bing the Church bells of their accustomed
mellow, cheerful tones, and to which our

intense suffering was manifested. To
cure it seems quite beyond human ir-
genuity and skill, but no case has ever
been known to prove fatal. Many gentle
wives and mothers have been greatly dis
tressed by tho hosppearance of this disease,
and particularly the alarming symptoms
it manifests about eleven o'clock. The
time of these alarming symptoms differ,
howcvor, as to country and town. In the
country the alarming point reached
about nine clock, or between nine and
ten. These symptoms are not specific
and distinct, but are general; taking the
form of almost every sche and pain
known-headache, backache, pluerisy
and the like. A very correct diagnosis
ofthe case can be made, however, from
the following facts, which always attend
its approach: There is total absence of
fever; the patient is comparatively free
from similar troubles except on the Sab
bath; there is preaching at his or some
other church, which he is expected TO at
tend. If all these points be evident, the
case can safely he pronounced morbus

vember PA shocking tragedy was en-
acted here to-day. Mir. Fred Panzerbei-
ter fired two shots at bis wife this morn
ing about 2 o'clock, both shots taking ef-
feet in her arm. He then placed the
nuzzle Of the pistol to his temple and
sent ball crashing through his brain.
He fingered until o'clock, when he
breathed his last. Fortunately his wife
was not seriously hurt, though naturally
very much excited.
The Panzerbeiter family were wealthy
at one time, and it is thought the loss OF
fortune had unbalanced the unfortunate
mans mind.
About year ago he was sent to the
Asylum and was discharged as cured.
He has been in ill health for some time,
and no other reason can be assigned for
the rash deed but that his mental disease
returned suddenly. His remains were
buried Monday evening and his wife left
our city for her old home, Georgetown,
Tuesday morning.

There is growing feeling, says the
Scientific American, that the tide of our
commercial fortunes has turned and that
the ebb which set in three or four years
ago has brought US to low water mark,
from which We shall see flow Of steady
prosperity. AS we go to press there are
pleasant tidiugs OF industrial establish
ments being started on full time, of 9TH
ers which have been long silent resound-
ing with the busy hum Of activity.
Wholesale houses are sending out their
travellers and conditional orders are set
in execution. One can hear great sigh
ofnational relief go up that the tremen-
dous tension Of the past few months is
over, and there is very, distinct quick
ening Of the national pulse and general
spirit Of expectancy of good times to
come. How far these hopes are justified,
how early will be their fulfllment, we do
notundertaka to say; but we wish to re-
mind our readers that if the good times
are to be permanent they must come in
natural way, and not as the result of any
artificial and therefore evanescent stimu-
lus. There is a tendency in the daily
press to push the thing along faster than
is natural or expedient. The sick man
must learn to walk before he can run.
The credit of the country has been PROS
trated even to the point of death, and we
must not expect that it will recover its
full strength and virility III a day. In
deed the past commercial history shows
that tho recovery is very slow; and it
takes very little to give the patient se-
rious relapse. live refer back to period
OF which the PRESENTS strongly suggest
ive-the year 1s73-it was not until the
year y that the country had fully re-
covered from its depression; and while
we do not for moment suppose that
prosperity will be so belated in the pres.
ent case, we do not believe we are going
to move at s bound from the one ex-
treme to ths other. Nor would it be de-
sirable. "Boom times" are in some re-
spects very bad times. Better steady,
legitimate growth than hasty, artificial
ly prompted, hothouse sprouting. The
ration has been learning valuable lessons
daring the last few years of depression,
aud we shall do we'll to make the present
hour Of restored confidence starting
p,int for fresh growth in wealth and
power whose motto shall be snake haste

drowning at Atlantic City, N. j., several
DAYS ago and whose identity was estab-

Cotton Tie Trust.
To the Farmers of the Cotton States:

To the Farmers of the Cotton States:
During the past year We have been op-
pressed by nercless trust that has
forced up the price of cotton Gies until
their use was becoming q question of
serious consideration. The fact of a COM
bination existing was not made public
until it was too late to materially aid our
selves for the season now nearly past, but
we made sumo progress looking to the
adoption of other means with which to
bind cotton bales our sole and only OBJ
ject being to defeat the cotton tie trust.
And, whereas, through the efforts of
William w. Bierce, of New Orleans, the
trust has been forced to abandon it's pur-
pose and the price of ties is fast being
restored to their normal value.
We entreat and urge upon all the far
mers of the Southern States to give Mr..
Bierce their earnest support in his further
endeavors to keep up the campaign against
the trust by insisting that their merchants
handle ties not heretofore affiliated with
any trust, and we for our own State do
take the initial step by pledging our
selves to give to Mr.. Bierce tho worthy
support he deserves.
