Barbara had not been in the house
half an hour before she was deeply
in love with the lady of it. After an
hour had passed she was astonished
at Mrs. Vane's knowledge OF human
nature and her grasp OF the subject of
servants and housekeeping problems
generally.
"People will tell you, my dear, that
i am an eccentric old lady with good
many crank notions about servants.
The fact is, / try to treat them just
as Christ taught us to do. That's the
reason folks call me queer. People
that try to do the Christlike thing
in all relations of life have always
been called queer, and always will be-"
When Barbara finally went away
after refusing an urgent invitation to
remain to tea, she had made an ar
rangement with Mrs. Vane to meet
with her and Mrs. Ward and a friend
of both, to talk over some practical
plan for getting the servants and the
housekeepers together for a mutual
conference.
"If anything is DONE" Mrs. Vane in
sisted, sit must be done with both
parties talking it over in spirit of
Christian love. 1t never can be solved
in any other way"
The date fixed for the conference
was two weeks from that afternoon,
and Barbara went back to her work
quite enthusiastic over the future and
very much in love with the woman who
was known to most of the members of
Marble Square church as that eccen-
trio Mrs. Vane."
The two weeks had gone by quickly,
and Thursday noon at dinner in the
Ward house Barbara was surprised to
find, when she came in to serve the
first course, that Alfred Ward had I'M
eXpectedly arrived. He had spent two
months of his summer vacation with
college classmates on the lakes, and
had returned sooner than his mother
had expected, to stay until the term
opened again.
Arthur, this is Miss Clark, about
whom ! have written you," Mrs. Ward
said, little awlwardly.
The young man looked at her with
interest, and bowed politely. Barbara
returned his bow simply, and did not
speak. She felt little annoyed as
the meal proceeded and she was called

When Barbara started that after
noon with Mrs. Ward for Mrs. Vane's
to meet with her in conference, she had
no plan of any kind worked out, even
in the vaguest outline. She had told
Mrs. Ward what Mrs. Vane had said be-
fore, and asked her whether she was
willing to go with her. Mrs. Ward was
very willing, and Barbara gave her
credit for being as much interested "a
any woman might be expected to be in

Mrs. Vane met them with her usual
bright greeting, and again Barbara

Charleston, S. c.. Aug. 15.-The police
department of Charleston believes that
it has at last established the identity
of Mike and George Washington. These
are the two negroes who engaged in
bloody hand to hand battle with the
police ten days ago in Alexander street.

2S. 1t was at first supposed that one
of the two negroes was Jim Lowry,
who was wanted at Shelby N. c., for
the murder of the chief of police of
that place. There is much testimony
at hand now. however, to prove that
the men are the Georgia negroes who
were guilty of the crime in Screven

Beaufort, S. c.. Aug. 15.-The biggest
seizure of contraband liquor made here
abouts in long time was affected near
Keans Neck to-day by Chief Constable
Watson and Constable Croker of the
state constabulary.
The officers left town by private con-
veyance before daylight Wednesday
morning and after crossing Port Royal
ferry they proceeded to Keans Neck
where they searched a store, but To-
Gated nothing.
Later they proceeded to the house of
Peter Sumpter. negro and armed
with a search warrant, demanded ad-
mittance which was refused.
The officers argued with Sumpter for
some time but all to no purpose. The
negro's brother came on the scene and
also tried to persuade him to submit
to the search. Finally officer Croker,
acting upon orders from the chief, Sc
cured an ak and drew the staples from
a strong lock that secured the entrance
to the place, and going in the con-
stables found fifty gallons of whisky
contained in jugs, ranging from one TO
five gallons capacity. and nine dozen
bottles of beer in three bags, slowed
away in the attic. After securing the
liquor the officers brought it here in a
small sail boat.

DoLLY's CASE COMPLICATED.
Girl Infanticidc's Mother said to
stand In Way of Pardon.

Atlanta. Aug. 15.-The indications
are that Dolly Pritchett. the Cherokee
county girl, who is serving a life SEN
tence for infanticude, will not be par
doned by the Prison Commission and
Governor. The commission has been
waiting to get the consent of the girls
mother to release all claim to her, in
order that she might be sent to The
Home of the Good Shepherd. at George
town, d. c. In the event this release
had been given the commission would
undoubtedly have pardoned the girl at
the request of large number of la
dies, who have taken an interest in
her. The mother now refuses abso-
lutely to grant this release, and the
reason for her stand is said to be that
the girl has just Inherited $500 from
her father, who died recently, and the
mother desires to retain control of this.
The only other chance of the girl is
through the appointment of a guardian
on the ground of the mothers unfit
ness, and an effort will be made to
have the case take this course.

Ulind Tigers and Gamblers Feel
Heavy Hand of Law.

Wrightsville. Ca, Aug. 15.-The City
Court of this place adjourned this
morning after having been in session
since Monday, the result of the session
being nineteen convictions, a large
number for selling whisky without Ii
cense and gambling, these two offenses
constituting more than half the con-
victions. The blind tigers were fined
from 5000 to $780, and the gamblers
fines ranging from $50 to 500 with an
alternative of from ten to twelve
months on the changing. Only one
fine was below $40, it being $35.
The blind tiger element in the town
has been in the ascendency for some
time past, and it was seen that a de-
termined effort was necessary to rout
them. The result of this weeks court
is very gratifying to all the good peo-
pie of the town and county. Judge v.
B. Robinson and Solicitor William
Faircloth, with the moral and active
support of a number of our best citi-
Zens, have purified the moral atmos-
phere of our county to a great degree.

M'NAUGHT0N KILLS PATTON.
Prominent Young Planter Meets
Tragic Death Conflicting Ac-
counts of Killing.

Griffin, Ga, Aug. 15.-Last night at
Blantons mill, about twelve miles from
town. young Robert Patton. well-to-
do and highly respected young planter
of this county, was shot and instantly
killed by Forest McNaughton, a man
who lives in the Line creek district. Rob-
ert Patton and his brother, Tom, were
fishing at the mill crossing, it is said,
Robert being on one side of the stream
and Tom on the other. McNaughton
and Lum Cannady, who had been to
Brooks Station, came by about mid
night in a buggy, saw young Patton
standing in the bushes within few
feet of the bridge, and McNaughton
asked who it was. Patton made no
reply McNaughton then drew his pis-
toll and told him he would make him
talk, opened fire, and the ball took
effect just below Patton's heart, death
resulting almost instantly.
The men in the buggy drove across
the bridge and went on a mile further,
when Cannady went back to see II
Patton had been hurt. Tom Patton, 1t
appears, was not aware that his broth
er had been killed and this discovery
was made some forty minutes after the
tragedy was enacted. Many are of the
opinion that the deed was perpetrated
without any provocation, and hence
much Indignation is expressed.
There is another version of the Kill
ing as related by Mr.. Cannady, the
father of the young man who was with
McNaughton when the deed was COM
mitted, and the following is the mar
rative by Mr.. Cannady, who was in
town to-day:
The Patton brothers were at Blan-
tons Mill purposely to arrest some ne
groes whom they thought were the
parties sought, as McNaughton and
Cannady drove up. 1t is said young
Patton halted the two men. When
McNaughton asked who it was Patton
fired with a shotgun into the air to
brighten those whom he supposed were
the negroes. At this instant, McNaugh-
ton drew his pistol and fired where the
flash of light appeared, and young Pat
ton fell dead.
Bob Patton, as he is generally
known, was a splendid young man and
bore fine reputation in the commun
ity where he lived. He was "a years of
age and his untimely death is a source
of regret to his many friends. He
leaves an aged mother, whose declin-
ing years were dependent upon the
strength of her unfortunate boy.
Deputy Sheriff Jesse Starr went to
the scene of the tragedy this morning.
but up to this time, no arrests have
been made.
McNaughton came to Line Creek
about three weeks ago. Last April he
went to Grovania, Ga, and engaged in
the lumber business with his brother,
A. F. McNaughton, who married a
Miss Cannady, of this county
Mr.. j. T. Cannady whom McNaugh-
ton was visiting at the time, says that
McNaughton has been at his home
ever since the shooting and has noti-
fed the bailiffs of the district that he
is ready to give up. Tonight Sheriff
Freeman came in with McNaughton
who seems to be in the jolliest humor,
and says that the killing was in self
defense.
The coroner has not returned yet,
and the evidence before him cannot be
obtained.

Atlanta. Aug. 15.--So far $50 counties
have sent in their tax digests to the
Controller General, leaving only seven
more to make their returns. OF the 100
counties heard from, the increase in
taxation for 1901 is SIG. O26, 694. The fol-
lowing counties have just come in
showing the following increases:
Troupe $273. $50; Douglas, $53,947; Nor
gan, $149,S93; Walker. $91,557. The
counties which are yet to be heard
from are: Barlow, DeKalb, Fulton,
Lumpkin, McDuffie, Richmond and
Rockdale.
1t is expected that all these counties
will have their digests in before the
end of the week. The total increase in
taxable values for the year is expected
to exceed ST 200, 900. When there is add
ed TO the foregoing an increase of near
ly $5,000,000 in the returns of railroad,
telephone and telegraph companies the
magnificent total of about $22 900. 900
increase will be secured, or about So
100000 more than was the
increase of last year. Capt.
w. II. Harrison, the statis-
clan of the the tax department, of the
Controller Generals office, stated to-
day that the digests which have been
received UP to this time are the best
that have come into the office since he
has been connected with the office He
says that the tax collectors in all parts
of the state have been more careful
with their figures and more explicit in
preparing their digests. AS result of
this, Capt Harrison stated that he has
not been compelled to return but four
digests this year, which is a very small
number.

BURROUGHS RoBBER CAPTURED.
Mayor LaEree Suspects That the Man
Might he Insane.

Might be Insane.
Joe Williams, alias Jay Bird, a ne
gro from Burroughs Station, was
brought to the city yesterday morning
and lodged in jail on charge of high
way robbery. The commitment, which
is signed by Mayor j. c. Lagree and
Recorder N, w. Weston, asks that the
prisoner also be held pending an exam
ination as to his sanity.
The Mayor of Burroughs sends in
some warm commitments and the one
yesterday was no exception. 1t alleges
that the prisoner is guilty of the
crime charged. because on Wednesday
he entered the store of L. Silverberg,
and carried away a Winchester rifle.
The Mayor declares that "he walk out
while Mr. J. c. Littfefield was attendin'
to his juties, an run in the swamp, an
make out like he wuz goin' to attempt
to shot everybody in the town"
The Mayor said that Jay Bird en-
tered the town again about midnight,
and that he was placed under arrest,
and given an examination by the, dual
court. Both of the officials of Bur-
roughs fear that the prisoner is men,
tally unbalanced and want the question
Of his sanity looked into by the proper
authorities.
The robber and suspected crazy man
was brought TO the city with his hands
tightly bound behind his back. The
colored constable who has been bring
ing prisoners from Burroughs for a
long while declared that he would like
to receive some compensation for his
services. He stated at the Jail that he
has never been paid. or even promised,
anything for his services and that he
would like TO find somebody who will
at least pay for the transportation of
prisoners charged with serious crimes.
