The Cherry Tree Frauds.
The famous Amos Owen Cherry
tree fraud case was commenced in the
United States district court in Char
lotte, last Wednesday. The defendants
are DR.. Frank Bright, who organized
the company; his father, Rev. j.
Bright, c. D. Wilkie, G. w. Rollins, G..
c. Watkins, NJ. c. Padgett. w. H. Hes
ter, H. w. Clover, and c. F. Geer.
The indictment is for misdemeanor In
using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes, and the maximum
punishment Is $500 fine and Is months
Imprisonment for each offense. The
district attorney and his assistant ap-
peared for the prosecution and Sena-
tor Pritchard, assisted by long array
of counsel, appeared for the defense.
1t developed that DR.. Frank Bright or
ganized the company, sold 1t to MS
father when the situation began TO
grow warm, and that in turn ownership
passed from one defendant to another.
There were quite number of Witness
es on the stand during the day, consist
ing mostly of women who had sent
money in accordance with the COM
pany's proposition, and who had re-
ceived nothing in return. This incident
of the trial is from the Charlotte OBJ
server: Amos Owen, the owner or
Cherry mountain, was the next witness
called. There was murmur OF inter-
est in the crowded court room, and
then from the rear end of the room
came a STOPPING ancient man with a
wizened face. In a preamble with the
district attorney Mr.. Owen aVerred his
proprietorship Of larger part of Cher
ry mountain, and he added that apples
and peaches grew on his mountain,
and that in the spring of the year cher
ries grew there also. The witnesses
said he had no connection with or in
terest in the Amos Owen Cherry Tree
company. He said his cherries were Of
the black heart and the red heart
species, and were better than the cher
ries Of other folk. Mr.. Owen said he
had sold a lot Of cherry trees cheap-at
a cent apiece-and for other cherries
sold last year he did not receive quite
so much. He had heard that the de-
PENDANTS were using his name in their
company, but had not authorized them
to use his name" 1t is officially esti-
mated that the frauds perpetrated by
the various defendants aggregated
$4,000. The trial had not been conclud-
ed yesterday.

THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPS.-Fol-
lowing is the weather and crop report
for South Carolina, for the past week,
as issued from Columbia, Wednesday,
by Director Bower:
The temperature was generally fav-
orable during the week ending Monday.
June 9, with a mean of II degrees,
which is about normal; a maximum OF
SO degrees at Blackville on the 5th, and
a minimum of 81 degrees at Greenville
on the I'd. In places the nights were
too cool for cotton. The sunshine was
about normal, with generally cloudy
weather at the close Of the week.
The weeks rainfall was much below
normal and consisted Of many local
showers, poorly distributed, with nu-
merous points that had no rain. The
heaviest and most needed rains fell IN
the upper Savannah valley and ada
cent counties on the 4th to 7th, with
probably more on the Sth. The south
eastern counties had quite general
rains on the 5th. Over the remainder
of the state the rainfall was extremely
light. The drought is becoming seri-
Gus over the western half of the state,
where crops have already suffered i'm
pairment, and, although corn and cot
ton continue to look we'll, they are not
as promising as heretofore, while gar
dens, pastures, melons, fruits and late
grains have been materially injured.
There was hail on the 4th at many
points, but it did not damage crops.
The weather was favorable for culti-
walton and general farm work, and es-
pecially for harvesting wheat and oats,
which is nearing completion in places,
but it is still under way at others. Gull
tivated crops are clean and well work.
ed, with only one report for the week
or grassy fields.
The general condition of corn con-
tinues promising and the earliest is tas-
selling and being laid by. Later plant
ngs look well, out is being damaged
by cut worms, budworms, billbugs and
wireworIns, especially on bottom lands
Much bottom land is still too dry TO
plant. Peas are. being sown with corn.
Cotton is recovering slowly from the
bad effects of the cold weather of the
previous week, and lice, while still prev
alent, are gradually disappearing. The
crop is well cultivated, but needs rain
on red lands, where some late planted
is not yet up. Blooms have been noted
and forms are plentiful. In the west
ern counties the nights have continued
too cool. Sea island cotton improved
during the week.

in the case. All the men, boys and dogs
in the district were on hand, as is usual

was repeated: "You solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth?" 1

Going to the Fire

1t was in country village that the
swain had proposed for the hand of the
village beauty and had been successful
and carried off the palm. He had
bought the engagement ring and was
hurrying as fast as his two feet would
carry him to the home of his adored
one. A friend tried to stop him to
make inquiry concerning his haste.
hello, there, Bob! Is there a fire?''
"Yes," replied Bob, with what breath
he had left, "my hearts on fire, and
I'm going now to ring the village
belle. "-Yonkers Statesman.

trotted snorting big bear, and made
straight for that tip-up. 1 didn't GO
much nearer, and the bear hauled up
that line with the pickerel at the end
of it as proper as 1 could have done
it myself.
And what a whopper that pickerel
was. And sassy! He pitched into that
bear the minute he got his eyes on
him, and it wasn't till the bear had
given him couple o. swats that would
have tumbled an OK that the pickerel
give up.
The bear took the pickerel off the
hook, shouldered the pickerel, and
went off into the woods with it, pay
ing no more attention to me than il
hadn't been there. The pickerel only
lacked four ounces of weighing ten
pounds, and never saw it again.
Sand, come to think of it," said
Badly, the landlord, smiling blandly
on Farmer Leonard, 81 don't really
suppose that would ever have known
just how much that pickerel did weigh
if 1 hadn't been passing by little
clearing on my way home, maybe an
hour later, and saw a number of men
standing looking at something. ]
stopped to take look, too. 1t was
big dead bear they were looking at.
/ recognized the bear at once as the
one that had caught and walked off
with my pickerel. One of the men
had shot it somewhere in the woods.
"Ben Winner happened to be there.
Ben Winner was so sure a guesser on
the weight of a hog or a bear or a
critter of any kind, that all Sullivan
county barred him out on guessing
matches.
eff Ben Winner guessed that hog
or bear or a critter weighed so much,
that was as good as if the scales had
recorded it, and it went. So Ben he
guessed on the weight of that dead
bear, as the man who had killed it
wanted to know it.
"The bear weighs $40 pounds, just,
said Ben, and everybody was satisfied
but one man, who didn't seem to be-
long around there, and he bet a dollar
the bear weighed more than $40 pounds.
The bet was made and they weighed
the bear.
"The steelyards showed the weight
at 349A pounds, to an ounce. You
never saw such a surprised lot of peo-
pie in all your life. Winner couldn't
believe his eyes.
"'Your pesky steelyards amt right,
he said. Whoever heard O. me guess
in nigh to ten pounds out O. the way
on a bear? Your pesky steelyards
amt plumb!'
''But the owner of the steelyards,
amazed as he was at Ben Winner being
off on a guess, stood ready to bet his
farm that they were right to the frac-
ton of an ounce, and the excitement
was high, when l happened to mention
that the bear had stolen pickerel of
mine an hour or so before. Then every
thing was clear.
"'Your steelyards is all right!' hol-
Tered Ben Winner. I was guessin' on
bear, not on fish! The bear weighs
just $40 pounds! The rest is pickerel!
''But 1 guess 1 never'd known it,
though, if I hadn't gone around that
way home," said Badly, the landlord,
smiling on Farmer Leonard.
''I'm afraid not" said Farmer Leon
ard, and the cash register cheerfully
jingled.-N. Y. Sun.
