A Victim of Hypnotism.

Last Saturday afternoon the police
took charge of we'll known citizen of
this city, who was apparently too
much Intoxicated to take care of him
self. At Mondays session of the May
or's Court charge of public drunk
enness was preferred against him.
Sensational rumors were noised about
and considerable crowd gathered to
hear the case, which developed some
interesting features. When told to
stand up and plead guilty or not gull
ty, the defendant evaded the direct
issue, and asked permission to make
statement Rising from his seat with
the dignity Of conscious innocence his
hands stretched forth in graceful ges-
ture, the prisoner poured his doleful
story into the attentive ears of the
conrt and spectators. May it please
your honor, last Tuesday night l went
to the Opera House, to see the per-
formance of the-one professor Boone
"a hypnotist so called presuminly.
When he called for several persons to
60 on the stage I went. I asked Boone
if he wanted the audience addressed,
and told him if he did L. NJ. would
address it. But he told me to look at
the lights. Saturday I was in Ed
wards barber shop-the Palace bar
presuminly, getting my hair cut-see
here Judge" The prisoner turned
his head and paused moment to give
the court an opportunity to admire his
latest hair cut. 81 was in the first
chair. He, professor Boone, so called,
was in the second chair and Mr.. Willie
White, son Of Mr.. a. White, was in
the third chair. Your honor knows
Nh. A. White: Yes, we'll his son. |
was telling Mr.. White about my going
up on the stage, and how [ offered to
address, the ordinance, Edwards whis-
pered in my ear, Mr.. L., That man sit
ting next to you is Professor Boone.
About that time he-Boone got out
of the chair and walked over to the
basin and washed his face. He passed
his hands over his head a few times,
and Judge, didn't know nothin' more
your honor, until I found myself,
crawling on my all fours on the side
walk, and a policeman had: hold of
me. l wasent drunk-ain't been
drunk at all. Yes judge I did take
one or two little smiles, but not
enough to make anybodyssdrunk. -
His honor. smiled incredulously and
muttered something about looks to me
like an old fashioned drunk" The
officer who made the arrest testified
that the prisoner, in:his opinion. had
been gloriously drunk, andSthat he
had been seen under similar hypnotic
influences many times before the ad-
vent of Boone.
1.-TWO dollars or''-"Hold on judge,
hold, let me say something 'No sir,
you have said enough, two dollars or
four days; next time the punishment
will be doubled
"Tbank you old boy-thank you,
here is the two dollars. This is con-
taminating beyond vazilities. l sup
pose I can go now? tut: tut.
He fell into line and departed.
The spectators wiped the tears from
their eyes, and formed sad process
sion behind the victim, as they
marched out of the presence Of the
unfeeling Judge.

in 1904. Out of the earlier contest
may grow conditions which will indl-
cate more clearly candidates available
for the Presidency. The only excuse
for the discussion at this time Of can
didates for 1904 seems to be found in
the eagerness of some men OF more or
less prominence to begin a canvass IN
their own interests.

The Agricultural Outlook.

Pisgah. June 1s.-From the present
outlook the crops are rather discourag,
ING. but no one need think that all
will be lost. Corn as whole, IS be
yond redemption, for the time to work
it is about passed and it is literally
drowned out. Some late can be plant
ed on stubble land, and that may make
a crop. Very little peas will be sown
for forage, as the seed is not here to
SOW. Cotton is wonderfully recupe-
rative plant and I see no reason why
it should be failure like corn. a
short time of dry weather will bring
it out and with the natural richness
of the soil crop will be made, and as
the business of our country is based
on it hope we can keep agoing: |
have seen cotton worked out in July
and make a crop. The condition of
the planters alng the Wateree river Is
pitiable. They have lost all where the
freshets cover. The big freshet IN the
river now is the sixth one since
March. The largest number IN as
short time ever known. j. r. ID.

The question of the date has been
left open to Jeffries, who demanded
this concession before he would agree

Jeffries has notified Madden that he
will agree to the terms asked by Rub
lin.
Madden and Rubin have been nego-
tiating with Groom for three weeks
past and have been in the city during
that time They expect a definite re-
ply to Madden's demand today.
