CHEROKEE-The Gafney Ledger,
April 21: The remains of Mrs. H. l.,
Parks arrived in the city Tuesday af.
ternoon on the 2.1S o'clock train from
Charlotte, accompanied by her grief
stricken husband and parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. G. Thompson, and several 9th
er relatives and friends from North
Carolina. The remains were met at
the depot by a host of the deceased's
friends in this, her home city, and were
carried to the home of her father on
Race street. The funeral services
were held at the Presbyterian church
Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. m. The
sermon was preached by the pastor,
Rev. c. E. Robertson, after which the
burial took place at Limestone ceme-
terry. .......".Some weeks ago The Caro-
lima Spartan suggested that the Spar
tanburg people attend the Cowpens
celebration, and that they 60 the day
before and camp on the ground. This
is a good idea, and we sincerely hope
that Spartanburg will turn out in full
force, and thus encourage Cherokee in
her patriotic work. The camping idea,
if adopted, will add interest to the
scene on the 9th of May and furnish
the campers an opportunity to sleep
on sacred ground where hero patriots
once slept, and near the unmarked and
unknown graves of those who gave up
their lives on Cowpens' ensanguined
field more than century ago for the
cause they loved. .'.'''''''"Mr. Samuel
Hamrick, of Allgood, was accidentally
thrown from his mule some days ago
and fell on the back of his neck.
Since the fall he has been paralyzed
from the neck down but is in full pos
session of his mind and powers OF
speech. 1.-The many friends of Sheriff
Long, in Union, will regret to hear of
the death of his son, Abe, who, it is
supposed, shot himself accidentally in
his room at his home on the 18th in
slant. The ball, A calibre, passed
through his left arm and entered the
forehead near the left eye. His in
iuries were so serious that he was una
BILE to give any account of the shoot
ing, and died on the morning of the
18th. Mr.. Long was a young man,
and at the time of his injury was in
charge of the county chaingang.

purpose of showing that the proviso
was to be be construed independently
and without regard to what preceded
it. The word provided is omitted in
the act, and this fact shows that the
legislature gave to the words without
regard to the conduct of the officers
the construction which this court has
placed upon them.
"It must he remembered that many
of those who were members of the
constitutional convention were like
wise members of the general assembly
when said act was passed. While, of
course, construction placed upon the
constitution by the legislative branch
of the government would not b. bind
ing upon the courts, still in this case it
is we'll worthy of consideration. The
act intended to make the county liable
for damages in those cases only which
fall within provision of the constitu
ton, and it has correctly construed the
constitution to make a county liable
for damages when the person lynched
was not in the custody of the law as
prisoner.
"This renders unnecessary the con-
sideraiton of the interesting question
whether the Legislature did not have
the power independently of the con-
stitutional provision to pass the act
hereinbefore mentioned. 1t has been
held that statutes making a communi-
ty liable for damages in cases of lynch
ing, and giving a right of recovery to
the legal representatives on the ground
that the main purpose is to impose a
penalty on the community, which is
given to the legal representatives, not
because they have been damaged, but
because the legislature sees fit thus to
dispose of the penalty. Such statutes
are salutary, as their effect is to rem.
den protection to human life and make
communities law abiding. But, as we
have said, our conclusion renders un-
necessary consideration of this ques.
ton. 1t is not necessary to consider
the exceptions in detail, as our views
dispose of the main question in the
ce .. 1t is the judgment of this court
that the judgment of the circuit court
he reversed aud the case remanded for
new trial." A. K.

a@ A good story is told upon a
Washington woman who now makes
her home in Colorado, says Kate Fields
Washington. With evidently no
thought as to the curious sound of the
combination if spoken quickly, she
has called her oldest child Helen Vir-
ginia. Not long ago, upon visit to
this city, she proudly brought her
young daughter into see an old friend.
"What have you called your daugh-
ter?" queried the visitor. "Helen
Virginia." was the complacent reply.
"Ah, and what do you call her in Col
orado ?" was the unexpected but very
natural response.

HIS BEST Cow.-A certain farmer,
who kept large number of COWS, was
noted for his excellent butter and
cheese.
One night he was called up and in.
formed that one of his best cows bad
got turnip stuck in its throat. He
hastily dressed and went down to his
stable and examined all his COWS, but
found that none of them had anything
the matter with it; so he went back to
bed, very much put out at having been
called up for nothing.
When he got up the next morning
he went to fetch some water, and
found turnip stuck in the pump.

"CABBAGING" FROM A QUAKER.


A friend says: remember an anus
ing story my father used to tell. He
was cutting, some 80 or 40 years ago,
in Philadelphia. One day during the
dull season an elderly Quaker came
into the store with some cloth which
he wished to have cut into a coat.
My father told him he would cut it for
a dollar.
"Well," said the Quaker, "thee may
cut it; but as the tailors sometimes
cabbage cloth, as thee calls it, shall
stay and watch thee while thee cuts
it."
"All right" said my father; "but
really friend, your watching wouldn't
keep me from cabbaging, if I chose to
do so."
"Thee is welcome to all thee can
steal without my catching thee" said
the Quaker, confident in his own
shrewdness.
The cutting board was close against a
window, between which and the board
were some eight inches of space. My
father, in laying off the coat, left a
good vest pattern, which he then chalk
ed in various shapes, and after he had
cut all the pieces, he called the Quak-
er's attention to something in the room,
and with his shears, pushed the "cab.
bage' from the board between it and
the window, when it dropped quietly
to the floor. He rolled up the job,
putting in all the scraps, and handed
it to the Quaker.
II suppose you're satisfied that you
have all your cloth ?" asked my father.
"Yes, I'm satisfied. Thee's welcome
to all thee's stolen"
When the Quaker had gone, father
took the cabbage" from under the
table, and cut vest from it for him
self. Not long after he was standing
in the door, with the vest on, when he
saw the Quaker on the other side OF
the street. He called to him and ln-
vited him into the store.
"How did your coat ?" asked my
father.
"Very well thee is good cutter" D."
"Thank you. How do you like my
vest?" asked my father, throwing open
his coat and showing the "cabbaged'
garment.
"It's nice vest. Where did thee
get the cloth? It's like mine."
'It was yours you gave it to me,
you remember"
HNo T 6op,t rom ON harb ~
"You said 1 was welcome 10 all |
had 'cabbaged."
"Yes."
"Well, 1 'cabbaged' this"
"Thee did?"
II certainly did,"
The Quaker scratched his head a
moment, and then reached out his
hand, which my father took.
"Thee is good CUTTER" he said, and
he added as he turned to go, "and thee
is too smart for me; but thee is well
come to the vest"

lately called upon to officiate at very

of a militiaman who, on the occasion
of sham fight heard the general give
the order:
"Everything'is to be done the same
as in actual warfare"

heels.
