Site OF the New IaiI.

The Board of Commissioners have OK
changed tho old Jail lot with II. II. Jaynes
for q lot near the Court House on which
to build the Jail. The house will stand
about where tho old Courier Office was
two years ago and face Short street.
1t will DO an up-to-datc two story brick
building, modelled very much after tho
now Jail at Anderson. 1t will be an
ornament to the Court House Square,
the front view presenting the appearance
worry much of atwo-story brick sidcncc
The inmates may not always bo oar most
exemplary citizens, but when confined
within four solid brick walls with steel
cells thoir wrath will be impotcnt and
harmless. The front rooms will be used
as residence for the jailor and the cells
will bo in the rear. 1t is estimated that
it can be completed for about $4,000
leaving $4,000 for much needed repairs
and improvements on tho Court House
Preparations arc being made for begin
ming the work of construction at an early
day.

A Curious Illicit DistilIery.

II has been said by many for somo
time that if there is "stll" above
ground Deputy Marshal Corbn will get
it, James King was doubtless of this
opinion, too, so when he started up in
business he ''got off tho earth" with his
outfit. Last Friday Mr.. Corbin brought
him and his outfit to town and turned
them over to the proper officials. Kings
still was underground, and over the
opening in tho top was piled heap of
logs. The smoke from the underground
manufactory curlcd up through tho logs
and looked very much like common
log heap burning. The opening was
large enough to admit but ono man at a
time. King was making "run" whom
the officers came, and they captured
him, about six gallons Of corn wliiskoy,
some meal, still, cap and worm. King
plead guilty and was sent up to United
States Court.

who would use his words as Witnesses
against him. He never gambled, ne
rarely drank, he never lent nor Dor
rowed. He was bachelor, yet would
never join a mess" but kept house
himself and usually had some favored
comrade living with him. He was 40
and did not look IS. He was tall, erect,
athletic, hardy and graceful in build,
and his face was one of the best to be
seen IN many a line Of officers at parade
his eyes were steel gray and clear and
penetrating. his features clear-cut, al
most too delicately cut, thought some
of the best friends he had among the
men. His hair was brown, sprlnkled
literally with silver; his mouth, an ad-
mirahle mouth in every way, was
shac; d and haJf-hidden by a long,
droo.rng mustache to which, some men

they were men. There nped not. as ne

glow with love. AS for Amy Lawrence,
she was not dreaming of such a thing.
She was not even looilng at him. Her
thoughts at the moment were drifting
back to that usually light-hearted BOY
who stood gazing so disconsoiately
after them as they drove away, her eyes
were intent upon an approaching .,roup
that presently reclaimed her wandering

CHAPTER ".

The review that morning had drawn
crowd to the drill grounds that
baffled the efforts of the guards. Car
riages from camps and carriages from
town, carts from the suburbs, eoues-
trians from the parks and pedestrians
from everywhere had gradually en-
croached within kicking distance of the
heels of the cavalry escorting the GEN
eral commanding the department, and
that official noted with unerring eve
that the populace was coming up on his
Hanks, so to speak, at the moment when
the etiquette of the service required
that he should be gazing only to his i'm
mediate front and responding to the sa-
lutes of the marching column. Back of
him, ranged in long, single rank, was
drawn up what the newspapers unani-
mously described as brilliant" staff,
despite the fact that all were in SOM
Der campaign uniform and several had
never been SO rated before. In their
rear, in turn, was the line Of mounted
orderlies and farther still the silent
rank of the escorting troop. Sentries

ing the vacant seat was given to an
other officer and the carriage rolled
rapidly away. A second or two it was
hidGen from his sight behind the large
wall tents along the line OF fence, then
shot into full view again as he stood
at the end of the company street look
ing eagerly for its temperance. And
then occurred a little thing that was
desi med to live in his memory for many
a day, and that thrilled him with new
and strange delight. He had never been
OF the so-called "spooney" set at the
varsity. Pretty girls galore there were
about that famous institute, and he had
romped through many reel, but the
nearest he had ever come to something
more than mere jolly friendship for
girl was the regard in which he held
his partner in the 'mixed doubtless"
but that was all on account OF her eX-
uberant health, spirits, general come
illness of face and form, and exquisite
skill in tennis. But this day a new
and eager longing was eating at his
heart; strange, dull pang seemed to
seize upon it as he noted in a flash that
the seat that was to have been his was
occupied by an officer many years his
senior, man he knew only by sight
and an enviable reputation, a man
whose soldierly, clean-cut face never
turned an instant, for his eyes were
fixed upon lovely picture on the OPP
posite seat-Amy Lawrence bending
eagerly forward and gazing with her
beautiful eyes alight with sympathy,
interest and frank liking in search of
the sorely disappointed young officer.
There he isl" she cried, though too far
away for him to hear, and then, with
no more thought of coquetry than a
kitten, with no more motive in the
world than that of conveying to him
an idea of her sorrow her sympathy,
her perhaps pardonable and exagger-
ated indignation at what she deemed
an act of tyranny on the part of his COM
mander, with only an instant in which
to convey it all-her sweet face flushed
and her eyes famed with the light of
her girlish enthusiasm-in that instant
she had kissed her hand to him, and
then Col. Armstrong, turning sudden
ly and sharply to see who could be the
object of interest so absorbing, caught
one fitting glimpse of Billy Gray lift
ing his cap in quick acknowledgment,
and the words that were on the tip

cious occasion-and it did not come too
soon.
1t was only four days after that in
itial meeting in the generals tent the
foggy evening of the girls first visit
to camp, but both in city and on the
tented field there had been several oc-
casions on which the colonel had been
in conference with Mr.. Prime and in
company with the young ladies.
Junior officers had monopolized the
time and attention of the latter, but
Armstrong was close observer and a
man who loved all that was strong,
high-minded and true in his own sex.
and that was pure and sweet and win
some in woman. A keen soldier, he had
spent many years in active service, most
of them in the hardy, eventful and Wig
orous life on the Indian frontier. He
had been conspicuous in more than one
stirring campaign against the red war
rlors of the plains, had won his medal
OF honor before his first promotion.
and his captaincy by brevet for daring
conduct in action long antedated the
right to wear the double bars of that
grade. He had seen much of the world.
at home and abroad; had Travelled
much, read much, thought much, but
these were things of less concern to
many woman in our much married
army than the question as to whether
he had ever loved much. Certain it was
he had never married, but that didn't
settle 1t. Many man loves, said they,
without getting married. forpetful of
the other side of the proposition adj
vanced by horrid regimental cynics,
that many men marry without getting
loved. Armstrong would not have
proved an easy man to question on that.
or indeed on any other subject which
he considered personal to himself.
Even in his own regiment in the req
uiar service he had long been looked
upon as an exclusive sort of fellow
man who had no intimates and not
many companions, yet, officers and SOL
oiers, he held the respect and esteem
OF the enure command, even Of those
whom he kept at distance, and few
