II was present when the convict
Macon was punished. He was a very
desperate character, and drew a knife
on SummereM. He had just come to

hours. He was ordered to take off his
coat and get into line with his hoe. 1t
was a hot July day. Macon refused to
take off his coat, and was slow about
getting into line. SunmereH sent for his

Nobody had died on that farm since he

On cross examination the witness gave
everybody, except John r. Smith,
good official character. He said Capt.

that he was a good disciplinarian and

THE WHIPPING OF WOMEN.
This witness was followed by Elijah
G.. Shearin, supervisor of the Halifax
! farm since February 9th, 1899, who
said DR.. FurgesOn couldn't attend to his
| business better; that he had never
| known him to neglect anyone.
| Mr.. Shearin said certain charges had
been brought against him in the Raleigh

wonderland he wanted to make a state
ment in regard to it, and have the COM
mittee thoroughly investigate it.

had no power to go into this matter, the
charges having arisen since March 9Th,

under which the committee was acting.
| He would. however, allow Mr.. Shearin's
request for an investigation go on the
record.
MR.. SUMMERELL TESTIFIES.
Supervisor e. T.. Summerell, of the
Northampton farm, thought DIR. Furge-
sons record as physician just as good
as it could be; that he attended to his
duty and made no difference in his treat
ment of convicts and others.
MIR. TRAVIS GIVES EVIDENCE.
Mr.. e. L. Travis, attorney, testified
to the good professional record of DIR.
Furgeson. He knew nothing of the
manner in which he discharged his duty,
but his health record was very fine.
NO COMPLAINT AGAINST THE
DOCTOR.
John w. Branhan, corporal of the
guard on Summerell's farm, had never
heard any complaint against Furgeson.
REMARKABLE SUCCESS.
Geo. p. Burgwyn said DIR. Furgeson
had met with remarkable success in
treatment of malarial diseases.
This completed the evidence DR.. Fur
geson desired to introduce.

The Lanetry Wedding.


London, Aug. 1.-THE indications are
that Mrs. Langtry will seek to make an
actor out OF ner youthful husband,
Hugo Gerald de Battle, and that an ir-
reverent public will learn to apply to
the baronet's infatuated son the undig-
fnified pseudonym Mr.. Langtry."
1t is accepted as a fact that young
De Battle is Indebted to the Prince of
Wales for his bride-in other words,
that his royal highness good -naturedly
assumed the role for the sake of old
times. The match is a better one for
the jersey Lily than might appear at
first sight, for though the husband is for
the present dependent on his proud and
Iwrathful old father, no amount of par
entail or social disapprobation can rob
him of the title at the death Of Sir Hen
ry ercival de Bathe.
Young De Battle and Mrs. Langtry
met at Goodwood during the races two
years ago. The Prince of Wales made
them known to each other. He after
ward had opportunities to watch the
Iripening of their acquaintance into love.
He was in the confidence of both. His
latitude was benign, paternal. He was
one of the few who knew of the marri-
age beforehand, and he wrote to each
of them a warm letter full Of congratu-
llations and good wishes.

Last Letter on the subject.
Burlington. Aug. 11.-Another chapter
was written yesterday in the famous
and long drawn out controversy IN the

of Chicago. 1t is in the nature of cor
between Governor Leslie
very spicy and interesting nature, es-
pecially so at the present time of the

This regiment was formerly the Sec

to have simply followed the mandate
of the courts. He makes the statement
that he has not revoked the commits

taken from you when the boys went tc

has now been assigned to Gen. Prime
OF this you certainly have no reason tc
complain, for as commander chief ]

charge that the voting at the second

says that if the brigades We're really

New Rules for rriends.

indianapolis, Aug. 17.-The committee
appointed at the last general conference
of the Friends of North America, held
in this city, has drawn up the discipline
for use in the thirteenth annual
Quaker meetings.
An important section of the new dis
cipline is: The vital principles of the
faith of the friends is the truth tla,
mans salvation and higher life are per-
sonal matters between the individual
soul and God and that it is wrought by
an immediate working of the living
Christ"
Yearly meetings are given power to
enforce discipline by legislation. The
new discipline recognizes that the
church cannot make or appoint minis
tiers. 1t can only recognize gifts where
they exist and properly provide for the
exercise and development as a sacred
bestowal of the head of the church on
| its members.
Work on the revision of the discipline
| has been in progress for a year.
