STORY OF A COLLIE Doa.-There is a
collie dog in town that has more sense
than some people you might call to
mind, and his latest stunt has made
him famous. The dog is guarding a
home while his owners are of in the
mountains. "A servant Is left there
with him to bring out food three times
a day. Every morning the butchers
boy stops in with meat and this has to
be cooked, for the owners are afraid
the dog will grow vicious II he Is fed
on raw stuffs. SO it is that the SER
want has to light the gas stove, and
the collie stands by and sees the job
and the meat-well done. The other
day the meat was put on to cook and
the servant left the dog to watch 1t
while she went into the street to talk.
Like most servants. she stayed longer
than she had intended to, and es she
did not return the dog got anxious
about his food.
The gas stove kept pumping hot air
and the meat began to SINCE. This was
not to the collie's taste. He jumped
about the room in an excited way and
howled; but the servant didn't hear
him. Now right here is where that coll
lie showed his sense. He went up close
to the stove and finally got his mouth
on the thing that turns off the gas. In
a little while the flame went out. When
the collie saw that he had turned OF
the gas he danced with delight and
then waited patiently for the pot in
which his meat was being cooked to-
grow cold. After. the heat had left the
dog jumped on 1t and carried away the
pot in his mouth. Thus 1t was that he
ate all three Of his meals at one time

passed through Sabbath morning. It
had six freight cars attached to one OF
the Southern's most powerful engines.
The train was also running on a fast
schedule. .... On last Thursday all the
family Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Craig met
together to enjoy the day. All eight
children were present and all eight
grandchildren. The children were
once more gathered around the fami-
ly table and enjoyed the day as in their
childhood days. Just after dinner they
were all called together and Mr.. Craig
said: Children I am getting up In
years and may never see you all to-
gether again. Before go I want to
make another division of the property
and give to each one the same amount,
so that when am gone no one can say
I was partial to this one or that one.
Now you can take $1,750 in stocks, or
bonds or money. I leave you to decide
which," Mr.. Tom and Mr.. ]. r. Craig
divided the property and gave to each
the property they desired. A little over
a year ago Mr.. Craig divided the prop
erty and gave each child $3.50, so that
with the second installment each child
has received $1,000. The day passed
all too soon for the family. Mrs. Brady
left the next day for Arkansas, and
Mrs. Mellon and Mrs. Shelton returned
to Charlotte.

FARM LANDS ADVANCING.
The World Is Beginning to Realize That Cot:
ton Lands Are Valuable.

Chas. ]. Haden in Augusta Chronicle.
Speaking Of the effect Of the cotton
market on farm lands, Mr.. Charles ].
Haden, a close student Of political
economy, himself large owner Of
Georgia land, said:
"The rise in cotton land means more
than the growers profit on the one
crop. The experience for the past IL
months has dispelled nightmare. Cot
ton growers had come to believe
in a perennial over-.productton OF
cotton. The impression has been
universal throughout the South that
the spinners Of New England and
Europe were stepped in raw. cotton,
and that the merchants Of the
world were groaning' beneath load Of
cotton goods. Hence, the cotton grow
er planted in ashes and gathered In
sack cloth and worked out what he be-
lieved to be his remediless fate. The
season of 1899 was campaign Of edu-
cation. We now know that the world
spins all that it grows and wears all
that it weaves. The worlds market
widens, while the area Of production
does not. During the, Bryan-McKinley
campaign Of 1896, Mr.. PATTERSON, prest-
dent of large insurance company and
a leading financier of. New England,
said to me he thought the outlook was
nearly hopeless for the cotton growers
Of the South. He said that while
young man, 40 years before, he made
tour Of the upper Nile, the territory
that Sir Herbert Kitchener was then
preparing to take for the British gov
'ernment, and he found the region so
rich and vast and labor so cheap, that
once in the hands Of England 1t would
be the end Of the American cotton mo-
nopoly. The English have been in pos
session of this territory now for three
years, and the Nile has not yet been
heard Of as an element in the cotton
market. The supply Of labor and avail
able lands in the South are hardly suf-
fcient to meet the worlds increasing
demands for cotton. The next thing
we will hear Indeed, 1t Is already being
felt in a measure) will be an advance
In cotton lands. Lately have talked
with a number Of leading business
men in country towns and have been
surprised to find how many Of them
are putting their spare money In farm
lands. they tell me that these lands
have been bringing q net return Of
from 10 to 20 per cent. What has been
termed the land poor class will soon
cease to exist. The cotton grower has
come to be respected in the eyes Of the
consumer and his lands will soon be re-
spected by the investor and the CAPT.
talist." 4.

SAM JONES' STRONG PoINr.-The Rev.
DR.. Frank Bristol, pastor Of the Met
ropolitan church, in Washington,
which is attended by President Nc
Kinley, tells story which he heard
on. evening while dining at the White
House with the president and Bishop
Gambler, Of the Methodist church,
South. The party was talking about
revivalists and revivals, and the case
Of the well-known exhorter, Sam Jones,
was brought up.
1.-The best characterization Of Sam
Jones preaching I ever heard" said
the bishop, was that Of good col
ored brother in Virginia. He had just
heard Sam Jones preach, and was des-
cribing it to some Of his fellows.
"'Jist as long as Bre'r Jones sticks
to de Scripters,' said the colored man,
he amt no better preacher than eny
Nv de rist of us. But when he cuts
loose from the Scripters and jist lets
her sail, den he's de doggondest preach
er dat ever pounded pulpit"

BATHING IN ARKANsAs.-A Cincinnati
travelling man tells Of hotel expert
ence in the interior Of Arkansas. He
had arrived at a small settlement and
repaired to the Eagle House, which
was situated on the outskirts OF the
town and on the bank Of q stream.
After dinner of sidemeat and corn
bread he lighted a cigar and the pro-
prietor said:
stranger, is thar anything we-uns
kin do foh you-all?"
Thinking to confound his host the
stranger answered:
wal, yes, come to think, Of 1t, I'd
like to have q bath"
The proprietor let his feet drop from
the railing upon which he had hoisted
them, went into the house and return
ed in a moment with huge tin cup full
of soft soap, rough towel and pick
and shovel, which he offered to his
guest.
"Well, stranger" answered the land
lord, eth watuh's low, and you-aI II
hav to dam up the creek"

PLAN A MCKINLEY COUP.
Republicans Hope to Explode Paramount Is
sue BY Results In the Philippines.

Chicago Special to Washington Post.
A straight tip has been received at
Republican headquarters that import
ant developments in the Philippines
are at hand, and that within a very
short time the president Will have one
or more sensational announcements to
make. bearing on affairs in our archi-
pelago. The tip Is supposed by those
who are most closely conversant with
White House secrets to foreshadow the
surrender Of rebel leaders In Luzon and
to the announcement Of termination
Of the insurrection..
It Is known that negotiations through
two separate channels or agencies look
ing to that end have been going on
for several weeks, one through the reg
ularly constituted Taft commission, and
the other through independent peace
brokers, acting in an unofficial capaci-
ty for the administration. The latter
have had more freedom Of action and
have been in position to deal more
directly on more unconventional sys-
tenn with the insurgent leaders than
the commission could do, yet 1t Is prob
able that whatever Is done Will receive
the sanction Of that body and go on
record as its work. This will give a
proper and dignified finish to the nego-
tiations and formally commit the gov
ernment to the fulfllment Of pledges
made on its behalf by those without
official authority to go that far.
Following this announcement, Whlch
is almost due, according to headquar-
ters' conviction, will come some sort
Of q proclamation from the president
outlining form Of civil government for
the Philippines, and further defining
the administration policy in the far
East. These important events, which
are thus foreshadowed will, 1t Is as
sumed, completely demolish Colonel
Bryan's anti-imperialisttc paramount
issue.
The promised development will be
the grand spectacular climax Of the
campaign, and it is expected Will be
clincher, removing whatever doubt may
yet exist as to the outcome.

ABE's OPINIoN.-Long and earnestly
they had argued in the grocery about
the way in which the world would be
destroyed, says the Indianapolis Sun.
For four long weary hours these resi-
dents Of Sawville had set forth their
theories.
And finally they asked the opinion
Of old Hartley, who, among them all,
had alone remained silent.
Taking his pipe from his lips for one
brief moment, he answered:
1T will probably be talked to death" "
Without a word the debaters led the
way to the cider barrel, Abe bringing
up the rear.

POINTING A GUN.
In What Circumstances It May Be Done
Without Violating Law.

Without Violating Law.
The action Of Justice Poe last Friday
in flning Jacob Katz, Lexington
street jeweler, for pointing a gun at
Harry N. Abercrombie, a lawyer, who
refused to leave Mr.. Katz's store when
ordered to do so, has raised the ques-
ton Of the rights Of storekeepers In
such cases. Mr.. Katz was found guilty
Of assault by the justice and was fined
$25 and costs.
Upon the basis Of questions pro-
pounded by a subscriber Of The Sun,
the law Of the case Is explained as fol-
lows by William c. Smith, a former
deputy states attorney, of Baltimore:
Pointing a loaded gun or pistol at
another in a threatening manner Is an
assault, and it's immaterial that the
person so using the gun did not actual
iy know that 1t was loaded. So, also. If
the person assaulted had reasonable
cause to believe that 1t was loaded 1t
is an assault, though it was not loaded.
"If any one enters the home OF an
other and makes himself offensive, he
can be elected by force, but the degree
of force must be reasonable. The ques-
tion of the reasonableness OF force used
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-09-22
is governed by the facts OF the partic-

ular case.
"a policeman, by virtue Of his Office,
and without warrant, has right to en-
ter any house, the door Of which is not
fastened, or when invited to do 80 by
the master thereof, in which there is a
noise amounting to breach Of the
peace, and to arrest any person dis
turbing the peace there in his presence.
There Is distinction to be drawn
between the rights Of master in his
home and his rights in his public store.
In the latter case there Is an implied
Invitation to the public to come in, and
a person entering such an establish
ment has greater privileges, and, con-
sequently, the master less rights. Hence
he is compelled to act with greater dis
cretion in dealing with unwelcome in
truders. If A orders B to leave his
store at the point Of pistol and B re-
fuses to go, whereupon 4 shoots and
kills B. A is guilty Of murder.-Balti-
