A Mighty River,

The Yukon, the great river Of Alaska.
is navigable for large steamers, as one
unbroken flood 1865 miles from it's
mouth, to where the Lewis and PoIly
rivers unite to form it, or farther than
from New Orleans to ST Paul, and more
than twice as far as from New Orleans to
Chicago, and navigable for light draft
boats hundreds of miles farther up each
OF these arms. At it's mouth it is about
% miles wide, and 400 miles above it is
from eight to ten miles in width. 1t
drains an empire Of more than 100000
square miles, and discharges nearly as
much water into Behrng sea as the
Mississippi does into the Gulf of Mexico.
Scores of mighty tributaries, many of
them navlgable for steamers pour their
waters into its majestic channel. About
1870 miles above its mouth tie Klondike,
clear shallow river, perhaps 200 miles
long, and swarming with fish, empties
into 1t. Along the bed and banks of this
mparatively insignificant stream have
recently been discovered the gold placers
that have aroused the attention and fired
the cupidity Of the world.

A FRAPPE PATRIOT"

! Chicago, Ill, March 9.-The Chronicle
takes Secretary Gage severely to task for
his assertion that, in case of war the re-
porters and correspondents would be the
first to run away.
"Possibly," says the Chronicle in an
editorial headed, Gage and Valor," this
however, was not the record during the
war Of the Rebellion. But modest still
ness and humanity would best become
Gage. When in 1861, the blast of war
blew IN his ears, did he initiate the action
OF the tiger, Stitfen the sinews, summons
up the blood?
Having been born in 1896. Mr.. Gage
was at the commencement of the war of
the Rebellion !Usty youth of twenty
five. Did he then serve his imperilIed
country?

A Runway Accident.

Mr.HFrank Wilson, the veteran rep
resentative of the Equitable Life In
surauce Co., is in town to-day, and
reports an exciting adventure which
befell him on Tuesday. He left
Manning early IN the morning to
come to Kingstree through the coun-
try, driving a young horse bearing
appellation of Gypsy.
In the light of subsequent events
this name is not inapplicable to the
animal in question.
Mr.. Wilson was quietly jogging
along, g,inhailing the fresh morning ap
mosphere, his mind unclouded by the
least appr ehension of "risks", save
those pertaining to his VOCATION
when his amiable quadruped with a
dexterous whisk of her tail, switch
ed one line from his hand and in
creased her gate to a lively pace.
Having but one line with which to
check the horses speed, Mr.. Wilson
turned her into an adjoining field,
when the fun began in earnest. See
| ing that the horse was gradually
turning toward Manning and rapidly
becoming unmanageable, Mr.. Wilson,
with display of activity in keeping
with the insurance business, jumped
from the buggy, upon bed of yield
ing sand, suffering no injury o. dis
comfort save the unexpected break in
to his pleasant meditations. The
buggy, however, Jared wo rse, being
total wreck.
Mr.. Wilson rode another horse
back to Manning, and the next day
made the trip here successfully.

A SHORT TERM Of COURT.
JUDGEWA7TS D!SPOSES OF THE
FEW CASES ON DQCXETWlTH
DISPATCH.
Only Four Gases Tried ct The May
Term of Court.

Only Four Gases Tried ct The May
Term of Court.
The May term of the Court of
General Sessions convened here
Monday, Judge r c Watts presi-
ding. Solicitor Wilson and Sten
ographer Parrott were in their
places and in good form to dis
charge their respective duties.
The JUDGES tfaIee was merely
formal, the attention of the jury
being incidentlly called to the
recent Lake City lynching. Judge
Watts is as rapid as a machine
gun in dealing out justice. and all
the criminal business of the couTt
was disposed Of before noon on
Monday.
The following cases were taken
up in order:
First, Scott Mention, charged
with burglary, house breaking
and larceny, Mention having
broken into and robbed The store
of Mr.. & F Brockinton, Jr., some
time ago. With the characteris-
tic lack of candor that obtains in
criminal circles, Scott pleaded not
guilty. Somehow or other the
jury thought otherwise, and Scott
soon found himself receiving
sentence OF three years in Super
visor Chambers gang of road
workers.
The next case that engaged the
attention of the jury was against
John Mayrant, William johnson,
alias William Mayrant, and Rich
ard Hamilton. This enterprising
triumvIrate had formed a syndi
cate to plunder. and had broken
into one of the N. f. r. R. Cos.
cars. They too cl"imed to be
the victims of circumstances and
pleaded not guilty. This plea
failed to go down with the jur! {,
and the culprils received a SEN
tence which they could parse suf
fcientIy to understand that it
meant a free membership in the
good roads society for one year. 9
Hartley Salters next came to
the front, charged vita aggravated
assault. Hartley played in bet
ter luck than his predecessors and
managed TO convince the jury
that he was in no sense guilty Of
the charges against him.
The petit jury completed their
work and were discharged before
the grand jury--an unusual occur
renee. The prisoners at this term
of Court were all negroes and none
of them emplayed council. The
small number of criminal cases
moved Judge Watts to compli-
ment the county on the good be-
havior ofits citizens.
On Tuesd " the Court was taken
up with appeals from magistrates
court. The first case of this kind
was that of E NJ Gregg, Agt.
for Alex Sprunt & Co., against II
D Reddick, TN Gilland, Esq, rep
resenting Gregg and Messes. Hirsch
& Kelley, Reddlck. A new trial
was granted.
Next came the case ofSS James
against the G. 4 w. r. r. Gilland
& Pyatt representing the plaintiff,
and Kelley & Walker the defender.
Several other cases of minor I'M
portance were continued; and thus
ended this uncommonly short term
of court.
