round. Serge suits, made to keep their shape,
fast color blues, coats single and double breast

tho Baltimore Trust and Guarantee
Company, IIambleton & Co., of Balti-
more, and Konntze &c Co., Of New York,
whose stock and bond operations during
tho past year involved over $17,000,0C0.
Tho latest deal accomplished by she
syndicate was tho purchase of tho street
railways and electric light company of
Nashville. Mr.. Frank s. Hambleton has
returned to his home in Baltimore dar4
Ing tho past week, and has spoken in tho
most encouraging and hopeful way
about tho outlook in tho South, saying
among other things: ., ....
'hostility to corporations, which in
tho past retarded tho development of tho
South, no longer exists in the section I
visited. Capital is welcomed and it is
taking advantage of tho possibilities Of
forcd in tho South, which L. regard as
tho most promising section Of tho ooun-
try for safo and profitable Investments.
In my opinion, moro money will be in-
vested in new business enterprises there
during tho noXt twelve months than in
any Othor year in its history" -as#

Rev. Thomas Dawson.

A correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier gives the follow
ing interesting story concerning q
Baptist preacher personally known
to many Of the older readers of this
paper:
"Thc following story was cleaned
few days since concerning the Rev.
Thomas Dawson, now deceased, but
who will be remembered by many
persons in Barnwell county, and on
Edisto Island and near Pendleton,
S. G.. His father was the Rev.
Joseph Dawson, pastor of Baptist
congregation in, London for many
years. IIe was a Devonshire man.
His son Thomas was employed as a
porter in the Rothschild Bank.
Rothschild took a fancy to him and
procured for him, on his expressing
a desire to join tho army, a leuten-
ants commission. After serving in
the West Indies he was recalled in
time to take part in the battle of
Waterloo. Afterwards he was sent
as Consul to Washington. He was
pleased with America and never re-
turned to England. He was made
an agent or commissioner of the
Cherokee Reservation, near where
Gainesville now stands, and for
seven years never saw a white man.
lie then grew tired of the job and
moved over to Pcndleton, S. c., and
preached number of years in Barn
well county, and on Edisto Island,
and then returned to Pendleton and
died there in 1884, at the age of 81.
A few years before his death he re-
ceived letter from an officer Of the
British army, who had discovered
that HawSon's commission az lieu
tenant had never been cancelled or
transferred, Offering him $4,000 for
it. IIe wrote, accepting the offer,
but the ncxt mail that came after ac-
cepting brought him a second offer,
which was for $4,000. lie refused
this on the ground that he had ac-
ceptcd the other offer. The money
came in due time, and the old COM
mission raised the captain who
bought it to the grade of briga'lier
general"

Aliens courtship of his second
wife was as blunt and as unique as
the man himself. His first wife had
died during the dark days Of the
Revolution, when he was in tho
army. During session of tho court
at Westminster Allen put in his
appearance. Chief Justice Robinson
was there, as was Stephen r. Brad
Icy, who invited the general to take
breakfast with them. He had had his
breakfast, and, while tho others
were eating, he called on Mrs. Buch-
anan, handsome widow who lived
in another part of tho house. "Wcll,
Fanny, VIC are to bo married, let's
be about it," said he as he greeted
her. "Very well, just give mo time
to fix up" she replied chccrfully,
and in Is minutes she announced
that she was ready. Judge Robin
son, who had just finished breakfast,
was informed of the situation and
performed the ceremony on the spot.

his personal safety, now stepped up
and said, MAS George, don't do that.
That man has almost ruined you
now, and he wants to get me so be
can kill me, 'cause he hates me OH an
old grudge.' Taylor, who, by this
time, was frenzied with his losses
and liquor, merely said, Go away,
Jim, and let me alone. I am bound
to got even with him yet; but
won't put you up for no s1,200.'
Send that niger away retorted
Butler; Il am playing this game, and
he fairly glared at George through
his blood shot eyes as he said, Name
your price that you will put up that
nigger for and I'll put up tho stake"
'Pll put him up for So 900 and moth
ing less,' said Taylor. Agreed
said Butler, and he produced the
amount, which was only part of
the money he had won from Taylor.
sWhose deal is it ?" said Better,
"It's my DEAL said Taylor. Mean
while Sallic, Jim's sister, who had
been looking on while holding one of
the children in her arms, ran back
into the ladies' cabin to Mrs. Taylor,
and said, "Lor', Missus Mas George
is playing off Jim with that gambler
Butler, an if you don't hurry we'll
lose him. Mrs. Taylor started down
the cabin to where they were playing,
and on reaching the table said,
George, don't play for Jim; he's
like one of the family, and we can't
do without him and Sallie.' 'Jim's
up said Butler, 'and he's got to be
played for Mrs. Taylor then des-
pondingly said, IF you win him will
you let us redeem him at New
Orleans ?" ri make no promises,
said Butler, with his soft hat pressed
down over his forehead. "Give me
two cards, he said in mauldin tono
Of voice. Taylor laid down two
cards, and dealt himself two more,
when he asked Butler what he had.
Butler threw down pair of aces, a
pair Of kings and jack. Taylor
gaspcd and fell back in his chair, at
the same time dropping on the table
a pair of queens and pair of tens.
Butler put up his roll of bills, took
from his pocket pair of handouts,
and, looking over at Jim, who was
holding on his masters chair, said,
Como here, Jim, want you. Bring
your bundle down with me on deck
Jim falteringly said, 'Let me 60 back
in the cabin moment and bid mis-
sus good-by.' Butler said, "Go
ahead, and be quick about it, Jim
accompanied Mrs. Taylor and Sallie
back to the ladies' cabin, and after
bidding his mistress, the children and
his sister good-by, said, "I hope we
shall all meet in that world you have

one bound he cleared the rail and
landed III tho waves back of the
wheel. He tossed up and down
for a few seconds with his arms up
over his head and then disap-
peared.
"'Man overheard" rang out from
the lower deck. The boat was stop

but no sight of poor jim. Nothing
but his hat floating on the waves of
