oath in 1893 as to the banks condition.
The case was fought with great earnest
by opposing counsel, Mr.. NJ. B. Wood
ward representing the State and Hen
derson Bros. the defence ZZhe trial of
the case consumed two days. After a
deliberation of four hours the jury an
nounced their inability to agree, where.
upon o mistrial was ordered.

The State authorities have recently
attacked small shipmets of liquor, mani
festly for personal use, on the ground
that q C. 0. D. shipment is equivalent
to sale in this State. Keys 4 CO., OF
North Carolina, have been shipping
considerable liquor into the State, and
it appears that the bill was attached to
each of the shipments, and the State
holds that all c. o. d. shipments by
express are in violation of Judge Simon
toms decisions, because such shipments
are virtually sales In the State.

Ollie Watts, with his wife and five
children, were among the emigrants
who left Newberry for Bishop Turner's
eel Dorado" in the Republic of Lii
IBERIA. Watts had $500 when he left,
and after reaching Liberia he soon
found that his industry would not
bring the expected returns. He sent
his wife back in June, 1896, as he did
not have money enough to pay his own
passage and his children to America
But about two months ago he was
among a party who worked their way
as far as London, whence he sent al
appeal to his old employer, in New
berry. Mr.. J. c. Purcell advanced
$500 to him, and Watts and his chill
dren reached Newberry on the 10th
instant, and like others who have come
back they feel fortunate and grateful.
Their white friends have only done
what others did for those colored peo-
pie who went from Newberry to Lii
IBERIA thirty years ago, and their ex
perience should have been lesson to
them.

President Wilborn, of the State Farm
ers' Alliance, has issued a call which
means the Inauguration of a movement
towards securing convention of the
cotton growers of the Southern States
for the purpose of taking definite action
in regard TO the planting of next years
crop. The call provides for the holding
of State convention in Columbia dur
ing the State fair. The following is the
call for the State convention of cotton
growers for fair week:
As president of the Farmers State Al
lance organization of this State, Ihave
been requested by numbers of the rep
resentative members of the organization
to take the initiative in calling meet
ing of the farmers of the Southern
States, with view of suggesting some
action in the future, looking to
the regulation of the acreage OF
cotton, also to discuss the plans and
methods OF marketing the cot
ton crop so that the producers of this
great staple shall receive the real value
of the crop, and not be forced 20 sacrl-
fee the crop by unfair combinations,
together with the manipulations of the
gambling cotton exchanges OF the coun-
try, aided by the unjust accumulation
of ali the money of the country at one
center at the principle time of the year
when our cotton is going into market.
With these objects IN view desire 10
request the cotton growers of the var
ious counties in this State to meet on
salesday in November and select one or
more delegates to represent them al
meeting to be held in the city OF CO.
lumbia on Wednesday night of fair
week for the purpose of discussing the
matters mentioned above.

At the Batesville' cotton mill in
Greenville; a young man, Putnam
Baker, met horrible death. He was
standing upon a speeding machine,
reaching up to throw belt on q pulley.
His father, John +. Baker, and his
aunt, Mrs. Mary P. Gridley, were
watching him. Suddenly the sleeve of
his shirt was wrapped around the re-
volving shaft, and in the attempt TO
disengage himself he thrust one arm
through the pulley. In an instart his
body was whirled over and over, strik-
ing the ceiling like the ticking of a
watch. When the machinery was
stopped it was found that his arms had
been torn away from the body and the
legs broken in several places. The
face was not mutilated, there being
only one slight cut on the chin.

And in the course of time he did as all young

He thought he was in paradise with Helen by
his side
Until one day his sweetheart said, GAS sure as
I'm alive,
"My wheel goes just as fast as yours, and

Augustus nearly had a fit. Now such things
must amaze!
This dreadful breach Of etiquette would haunt
him all his days!
And to his love that night he vowed, by all his
hopes of heaven,
With her again he would not ride till she
bought a ninety
Both lovers lost their temper, and some bitter
words were said.
He swore she had no feeling, and she wished
that she were dead.
But finally they compromised, forgot their
words at random,
Got married and exchanged their wheels for
