Now One VaIdOstnn Wants the
other to Give Him His Money
Back.
Valdosta, Ca, Aug. S.-A unique
trover case has sprung up here as the
result of a trade between Mr. Joseph
Marks and Mr.. Arthur Knight Mr..
Marks has brought proceedings against
Knight to keep him from disposing of
the proceeds of an alleged diamond
which Marks bought from him day
before yesterday. 1t is said that
Marks went in the drug store where
Knight clerks and, after making a
small purchase, asked to see the stone
which knight was wearing in his shirt
front. Marks liked the size of 1t and
asked what amount of money would
buy IT,
"A hundred and ninety dollars"
coolly replied the young man. Marks
began to Jew" and the young man
began to drop a little. The two I'm
ally agreed upon a price of $3.50. and
Marks counted out fifteen crisp $40
He later in the day carried the stone
to a Jeweler and was informed that 1t
was worth about so cents, He re-
turned TO the young man after his
money, but II was refused. Bail trover
proceedings were instituted and the
case will come before Judge Griffin in
September. The young man claims
that he never once said that Il was a
diamond and that he took Marks up on
his own proposition.
Marks Is regarded as one Of the best
traders IN the city, and the case has
caused 8 good deal Of run among the
triendb Of both parties.

THE EMBALMER'S MARK.
COLORED FAMILY OF DEAD MAN
SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY.

Authorities of Columbia, Where He
Touched Incandescent Electric
Light and Dicd-Many Changes
Have Occurred in Management OF
south Cardinals Leading Colleges.
Columbia, S. c., Aug, S.-A few days
ago young man named HARRISON was
found dead in a room at the CRANKY
Hotel, in the cotton mill district The
coroner's inquest developed nothing
suspicious.
The body was embalmed, as requir-
transported, and was shipped to Dor
chester county. When the relatives of
the deceased found the slit in the neck
through which the undertaken had in
jected the formaldehyde, or embalm-
ing fluid, into the carotid artery, they
became suspicious of foul play and an
investigation was started by the mag
istrate. The Governor was appealed TO
for assistance, and when the matter
was brought to the attention of the
authorities of this county they ex-
planned that the wound was not made
upon the young man while living, but
by the embalmer.
A negro was killed at Florence in a
very unsual manner last night. He had
turned off an incandescent electric
light and presently turned it on again.
As he did so he fell dead. 1t is sup
posed that lightning must have struck
the wire at this instant.
Many College Heads Change.
Five leading colleges in the state
have lost their executive management
this year. DR.. Woodward and DIR.
Hartzog leave the two largest male
state institutions-South Carolina Col
lege and Clemson, respective; DR..
Montague has recently left Furman.
leading UNCONVENTIONAL college. None
OF these three places has been filed.
TWO female colleges have also
changed management. DR.. Wilson has
left Converse for course of study
in Germany, and DR.. Pell of the Pres
byterian College for Women of this
city, succeeds DIR. Wilson. Miss Eu-
phemia McClintock succeeds DR.. Pell.
Married His Ex-Pupu.
The executive management of the
great girls school at Rock Hill is in a
measure changed. Prof. D. b. John
son, who has been president of Win
throp since it started, in 1894 has been
listed as a bachelor, but he was very
happily married yesterday. His bride
was Miss May Rutledge Smith of sum

OF winthrop, and was for a long time
Mr. Johnson's private secretary.

mule for a moment and tied her in
some bushes until he could go to the
spring.
A short while after he tied the ami
NAL he noticed her rearing up and ran
back to see what was the matter. He
found that he had tied her close to a
nest of yellow jackets and they were
swarming about her. He pulled out his
knife to cut the line and let the mule
away, and in his haste and excitement
he made a hard overland swing, the
knife blade missing the line and sink
ing into his own stomach. His wound
was very serious ore, and it is yet
a matter of doubt whether he will re-
cover or not

to Put 1t Into Effect Until October
L, When New Rules VIII be Pro-
mulgated.
Atlanta, Aug, s.-The new law rails
ing the standards of commercial fer
tilizers in Georgia will not so into eff
feet at present, as was indicated in
the law as passed, but will become
effective on Oct. l, the date of the
opening of the new fertilizer season.
This was decided by Commissioner o.
B. Stevens to-day, after a careful con-
sideration of the matter. The law
provided that it should go into effect
Aug. l and also to make it effective
the Commissioner of Agriculture
should prescribe certain rules and reg
ulations with regard to it. These lat
ter Commissioner Stevens Will not
promulgate until Oct. l. The action is
taken because of the great inconven-
fence new law would cause in the
midst of the season. New tags are
sold on Oct. /, so the change will be
made at that time, and all goods then
on hand which do not come up to the
new standards will be condemned and
not permitted to be sold in Georgia.
The new law effects about sixty fac
tories which do business in Georgia,
selling annually about 100000 tons of
fertilizers at an average price
of SIS per ton, or about
$7.50000. One of the principal
requirements of the new law is that
no fertilizer shall be sold in the state
which contains less than 10 per cent.
of plant food. Now it is sold with
from one to two per cent. less.

FATE OF SOUTH WITH NEGRO
So New Orleans Delegate Declares
at Atlantn-Negro VIII Decide Its
Policy, Not the White Man.

Atlanta, Aug. s.-The Negro Young
Peoples Christian and Educational
Congress continued to-day with a
greatly augmented attendance. The
activities of the day began with sun
rise prayer meetings, at which the gen.
eral subject of the conversion of the
world was considered
At the regular morning session adj
dresses on the general theme of Moral
and Social Reform" were delivered by
Mary A. Lynch of Salisbury, N. c.,
Rev, G. L. Blackwell of Philadelphia,
Rev. j. A. Bray of Athens, Ca, and
Rev. R. c. Ransom of Chicago.
r. E. Jones of New Orleans declared
that the time had come when it was
not for the white man to decide the
policy of this country, but for the
negro. IF the white man won't help
us, we will make him. 1t is no longer
for the white man to say. 1t is for
the negro to say, and say he will. If
the white man does not extend to us
the helping hand, we will force him to
it,"
Jones also declared in bitter terms
that the negro in the South was not
given fair chance, and that he must
make for himself his position among
the people.
Rev. j. A. Bray of Athens, Ga, in
his speech on the good of secret So
cieties among the negro race, said that
If the white man would cooperate
with the negro in lawfully executing
criminals and hunting them down, the
negro would go to the very mouth of
hell to protect the women of this
country.
The civic and material status of the
race was the subject touched upon at
the night session of the. conference.
Addresses upon this theme were
given by Bishop G. w. Clinton of
Charlotte, N. c.. Rev. w. E. Lamp
ton of Washington, DR.. Joseph Booker
of Little Rock, Ark, and DIR. J. F.
Cooke of Henderson, N. C.
The address of President Booker T.

ture of to-morrow's session.

report of a gun in an adjoining room
and rushed in, to find her brothers
head blown almost to pieces, his body
lying PROSTATE on the floor He had
held the muzzle of a shotgun to his
right eye and pulled the trigger, blow
ing his brains about the room. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict of
suicide. He came here from Indiana
about five years ago and has many
friends in the colony and from his ma
