TWO UNIQUE CASES.
A Georgia Tax-Collector and South
Carolina Coroner.

Carolina Coroner.
An old man in Warren county, Ca,
had SO, 300 hidden in trunk, which
was recently stolen from him. Three
fourths of this amount was recovered
by the sheriff from the parties who
had stolen it, says the Middle Georgia
Progress, and placed in the bank at
Warrenton. The tax collector i'm
mediately issued tax e. fas. for several
years past against the total sum,
amounting, with the interest, to
about $500, and attached the money
in the bank for the taxes due the
county. Tue money had not been
given in for taxation for five or six
years. This is the only instance that
has recently occurred where a theft
has been beneficial to the State and
county in which it occurred.
This rather unique case is topped
by one which was reported some time
ago from South Carolina where the
dead body OF man was found float
ing in stream. When it was brought
to land and searched pistol and $40
were found in the mans pockets The
cOrner-magistrate, wishing to keep
the ten and not wishing to be entire
ly without color OF title, made out
case against the dead man for carry
ing concealed weapons, and fined him
$40. The Georgia tax collector and
the Carolina coroner are bound to get
a man, either dead or alive.

Former COnfederateS Send DIR. Malta
lieu a Rebel Flag.
ROANOKE, Va, March 15.-Some of
Roanoke's former CoDfederates took
occasion yesterday to remind Bishop
Mallalieu, of Boston, that his utter
ances condemning the Confederacy
will not be tolerated in the South
without protest.
In ser mon 10 Baltimore, on Sun
dav, March 7th, the Bishop, who pre-
sid ID over the Baltimore Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
referred to the Confederate flag as
"disgraceful, abominable, and infa-
nous rag"
While presiding yesterday over a
missionary meeting in the Academy
of Music in this city the Bishop re-
ceived from an unknown source neat
little package. The parcel contained
Confederate flag placaded The
abominable rag which fioated over
the Confederacy." A typewriter note
was also enclosed, which read:
The emblem under which fought
the noblest band of heroes the world
ever produced. The followers of Lee
and Jackson, and others equally gal
liant, contended for four years with
four times their number, wrestling
victory from them on more than 100
fields, yielding only when starvation
and diseases had thlnned their ranks
to such an extent that less than 5000
surrendered to l20 600, and these IN
line of battle, ready to die at their
leaders word Whose was the glory"
Bishop Mallalieu made himself ac-
quainted with the contents OF the
package, but did not refer to the incl
dent from the platform. AT; erward
he said he had consigned the contents
of the parcel to the flames and hoped
that the matter would end there
If the agitators desire to go fur
ther," he said, "Lhey may hear from
me again"

perorations. Logic is being scraped
up, and arguments are 'sabroad In the

Another Cut In Coffee.

Notice has been sent out to all the
jnbbers of continued cut in Ar
buckles coffee. The following from
the New York World will be good
news to consumers.
Sin the sugar-cutfee fight between
the Sugar Trust and the Arbuckle
CoffeeCompany an announcement was
yesterday made by the Arbuckies that
the price OF Ariosa coffee would be
fixed at III cents. This brings it to
the price of the rival Lion brand of
coffee produced by the Sugar Trust.
1t has been said that the trust is
marking up the price of sugar to
make up losses made in the coffee
fight, but the sugar trade explains
that the rise is due to an advance in
raw, in anticipation of possible tariff

Architect Milburn a Loser.

We are sorry to learn that Archi-
tect Milburn, who furnished the plans
for our new courthouse, was a heavy
loser in Charlotte's Sunday night fire
The News says: "Mr. Milburn had
just few days ago completed one of
the handsomest architects offices in
the South. His rooms were thorough
ly equipped with every modern con-
venience and improvement. The fire
completely Quilted his offices, and
what fire did not destroy water did.
All the costly architectural drawings
were destroyed along with the rest,
heavy one to Mr.. Milburn. But with
his usual pluck and determination,
he has gone to work at once to RENE
dy the loss. He has made hosts OF
friends here to sympathize with him
In his misfortune"
