1t is an interesting position that one
finds when studying the relations that
connect the railroad employee with the
road itself with regard to the rules
and regulations. 1t has a ring Of
''heads i win, and tails you lose" in
favor Of the road when it comes to de-
Gliding where the responsibility lies
when an accident occurs. An old rail-

A CONFIDENTIAL CASE.

About O Stolen HOG.

It Brought Ont an Honest Confession
-. About . Stolen Hog.
"It has long been a matter Of argu-
ment," said the old lawyer, who was
in a reminiscent mood, whether q
lawyer should defend a man that he
knows to be guilty. There is an argu-
menr on both sides. and do not sup
pose it will ever be settled to the salts
faction Of all.
"a good many years ago I had case
that set me to thinking, and l haven't
vet determined what my duty was in
the matter. At that time had O
small practice In q little town in the
western part Of the state. Upon my
return to the town one day, after hav-
ing been away a few days on matter
of business, was called upon to de-
fend q worthless character who had
been arrested for hog stealing.
AT that time every one kept at least
one hog to be killed in the fall and
sailed down for use in the winter. One
of my neighbors had butchered hog
a few days before. and the party that
was called upon to defend had been
charged with theft Of 1t.
1.-THE case was about to be called
when arrived, and l asked for lit
tie time In which to consult with my
client. This was granted. and taking
him to one side said:
Nov, see here, the best thing that
you can do is to make clean breast
Of the affair to me, and then l will
know just where l stand. Whatever
you may confess to me will treat as
sacredly confidential. and will do my
best to clear YOU
"T didn't steal his hog protested
the prisoner.
Then where did you get the car
cass that was found in your posses
sionY demanded.
From your back porch. boss he
answered with a grin.
"Then remembered that just before
going away l had left orders to have
my hog killed. and l could only gasp.
However. went to work and cleared
my client of the charge he was under
and took the carcass of my own hog
as payment for services rendered, but
l had hard work treating what he told
me as sacred and confidential."-De-

Til. PRICE OF COTTON.

D. J. H. McAden, president Of the
Southern Cotton Spinner's association,
believes that the price Of the present
crop Of cotton will stand around ten
cents until next spring, when he thinks,
it may go higher. In an interview
with the Charlotte Observer he said:
There are many conflicting reports
in regard to the yield, but I am con-
vinced that 1t will be short. The sta
pie in this section, however, Is Of a
finer grade than that raised in many
years, and turns out relatively more
lint than I ever knew before. AS an
example, 1t may be stated that 1t has
always been considered good average
II 100 pounds Of cotton in the seed
would yield 80 pounds Of lint when
ginned, and 33 pounds was considered
excellent. But this years crop is turn
ing out in many instances as much as
3S pounds, while the average in this
section may be said to be 36 or 81
pounds from 100 pounds Of seed cotton.
This Is probably one, result Of the
drought, for such weather as the plant
has had to undergo this summer, does
not hurt the staple; in fact, 1t tends to
improve it, as I have already shown;
but it diminishes the yield by retard-
ing the growth Of the stalk. This also
has the effect of making the bales
heavier. as the finer lint can be packed
tighter"

DRESS THE BOYS WELL.-While a
neat attire is not always an index to
good character and ability, the fact re-
mains that of two applicants the busi-
ness man will always employ the we'll
dressed, attractive-looking boy, rather
than the one who is careless in his ap-
pearance.
The reason is obvious. The boy who
Is particular in regard to the details Of
his dress will be careful in his work
and thus command the respect and
confidence Of his employer.
To be well-dressed is not to have
expended a great deal Of money on
your clothes; on the contrary, II your
garments are neat in appearance and
whole, If your collar is clean and neck
tie neatly fastened, If your shoes are
polished and pants carefully pressed,
the care and thought displayed in these
small matters will more truly reflect
character than the richness of the ma
terial of your clothes.
Muddy shoes can reflect nothing!
Neatness and cleanliness as well as
little style are important recommends
tions, and are within the reach or eV-

some $400 or $780,. .....Jim Fewell, the
Negro who shot and killed Sam Moore
another Negro, in this place some few
months ago, was arraigned in the court
last Friday and was submitted through
his counsel to murder in the second
degree. He was sentenced by his hon.
or, Judge Shaw, to q years in the pen
itentiary at hard labor. Our readers
will recall that the two men had hot
words In the back lot here in our town
and that -Fewell drew his pistol and
threatened to kill Moore. Friends in
terposed and Moore went off to the
stable where he was employed, saying
he would prepare also. He soon came
back to Mr.. Goforth's meat market
where Fewell worked, and going in, the
two again began mouthing at each
other. Mr.. Goforth at once touched
Moore on the shoulder and told him
he must get out. He Immediately fol-
lowed Mr.. Goforth out and just as ne
reached the door, Fewell, who had fol-
lowed behind, shot him in the back OF
the head, killing him instantly. 1t Is
believed here that Fewell's counsel did
well for him In submitting his case as
murder in the second degree. He Is
bad and dangerous character and has
on several occasions used his pistol on
his foes. When mad and drinking ne
is as dangerous as a wild beast. Both
