jury was composed wholly of intelli-
gent white men and the entire conduct
of the case was admirable. Judge
Purdy requested that the audience
maintain it's good behavior and make
no demonstration when the verdict
was announced, but had to sappress a
rising demonstration just prior to ad.
journment. He also firmly commend
ed the men Of the county for their fine
tribute to the power of the law. Many
expressions of opinion were heard dur.
ing the day from law abiding citizens
regarding the advisabillty of this first
special court held in South Carolina to
punish the crime of rape. The con-
duct Of the court was perfect, every
thing was done in order, every techni-
cality met proper observance and the
law was vindicated. For a woman to
have to testify in such circumstances
ls frightful ordeal. 1t is hard
remedy for lawlessness; it is bitter
path to justice that forces women to
face all that involves testlfying in such |
a case. This was heard on every side !
IN spite of the great consideration
shown by all concerned in the trial
here o-day.

guilty of participation in this. These
entries we're made in what Is known as

diamond. So interested was he in the
specimen that he advised Mr.. Hudson
to write to George f. Kunz, the gen,
expert, and send him the stone. This
Mr.. Hudson did, and in reply received
word that the stone was diamond,
for which an offer of $50 was made.
To this Mr.. Hudson agreed, and he
received check for the amount.
This diamond caused great excite
ment in the vicinity of Columbus, and
many were the reports of unexpected
finds by hundreds, who Immediately
started diamond hunting. Up to this
time, however, no other gems. are
known to have been unearthed. Dia-
monds had been reported from at least
six more localities in Georgia, but
these are doubtful occurrences.
The only important recent fad re-
ported prior to. that of Mr.. Hudson was
diamond of 1-2 karats found in
Alabama, in Shelby County, about
thirty miles south of Birmingham. 1t
was found by little girl in earth used
to fill up some low spots in garden.
Some of this earth was close 10 the
house, where water dripped on it from
the roof, and here after rain she saw
the diamond and picked it up. 1t had
been washed clean. The stone, which
was pronounced an exct llent one,
would cut into gem of karats, it
is estimated, or perhaps little more.
1t was sent to New York and ex-
amined, but remains in the possession
of the finder.
Two diamonds were reported from
Tennessee in the latter part of 1899,
and were found at Luttrell, near
Knoxville. The details of their dis
covery are not available, but they were
bought by jeweler in Knoxville, who
had them cut, and reports that they
are of good quality. Hardly any other
finds of importance have occurred dur
ing the past six years, no diamonds
being known to have appeared during
1896, 1897 or 1898.
One of the first diamonds reported
10 have been found on the Atlantic
coast was stone unearthed at Br;nd-
Teton creek, Burke County, North
Carolina, by DIR. +. M. Stephenson,
end its value is said to have been
about 800. About two years later
another weighing 1-3 karats, was
found lin Rutherford County, North
Carolina, in gold washings. This was
the first find 10 attract general atten..
ton, but since then diamonds have bee,
found also in Lincoln, Mecalenbnrg, !
Franklin and Mcdowell counties O:
the same State. The last recorde'
from this State was a diamond of |
grapioh green tinge, d 12 katrats in
weight, and valued as gem at about
$3.50. 1t was discovered in 1886 by
Willie Cristie, a young boy, at Briggt |
farm, near Dysortville.-Ne,o York |

at the expense of the government, and
that these expenditures had been
passed subsequently by the Senate.
Neeley and Reeves were found guilty
of having issued duplicate checks fer
the salaries of postoflice employees,
and for payment to the Ruiz company
and the gas company, the amount in
volved being $1,027.6S. They were
also held responsible for 81 ,858.32 for
stamps sold.
Neeley alone was held to be guilty
of fraud in the issuing of four dupli-
cate warrants for SS,057.61 for salaries
of clerks in the Havana postoflice and
for the purchase of mules. He was
found gully also of having drawn a
duplicate check for 81 900, nominally
issued for the transfer of funds from
the postal account in the bank TO the
account of the tr, asurer, and of having
given G. M. Rich, his former assistant,
S5 900 worth of stamps to SELL He
took his salary of $3.50 before going to
the United States the last time. It
is alleged also that he received COM
missions In connection with tho Neeley
printing company and the Keyless
lock company, profitlng by this means
to an amount greater than $3,292.
For this, however, Neeley was not in
dicted by the fiscal, as he was eXtradit-
ed on the charge of embezzlement. 1t
was also charged that he asked Reeves
TO arrange the books, giving him ST.
GOO to do so. He was acquitted of this
for the reason given above. 1t was
charged that Necley also appropriated
500 in money resulting from the sales
of stamps by Moya and Mascara, stamp
clerks at Havana. --.--.--.
Rathbonc was found guilty of hav-
ing paid the expenses of his wife and
family on a trip to Santiago and Oh a
second voyage to the United States,
he being unable to separate his private
and official expenses, and also issuing
two warrants for $500 each.
Reeves appropriated $673, which
was returned to bin by Rathbone.
The latter was acquitted on the charge
of having unlawfully taken daily al
lowance of SIS after the Postmaster
General had disallowed his claim.
Rathbone, Reeves and Neeley were
found Jointly guilty, under the postal
code OF the embezzlcment of $102 ,974,
line in which amount was divided
between them. Neeley was guilty
alone Of embezzlement of $21 ,S57;
Reeves OF $673, and Rathbone of
81 900, while Neeley and Reeves joint
ly embezzled 81 ,3OG.
In summing up the court said the
facts brought out showed that various
schemes had been used by Reeves,
Neeley and Rathbone to appropriate
The postal funds, but that these should
be taken to constitute only one infac-
tion Of the law, each item not being
regarded separately.
Rathbone's attorneys have applied
to the court tor writ of habeas cor
pus.

A BATCH OF GOOD STORIES.
Some Things to Make One
Laugh and Grow Fat.

A<hhH SIoW Edts
The Washington Post says that sew
eral Senators were in the cloak room
discussing their experiences in getting
rid of an Objectionable visitor. The
talk recalled an episode in the life of
the late Justice Field, of the Supreme
Court, whose temper was Of the most
irascible kind. He had gwen lnstruc-
tions to his servant on certain morn
ing that he was not to be disturbed.
Presently there came a ring at the
door bell and all aggressive book agent
appeared.

said.
You cannot see him." was the re-
ply.
1 must see him."
" Impossible"
The CO yersation grew more EN-.
phatlc, until finally the persistent book
agents demands echoed through the
house. AT that moment Justice
Field, who had been attracted by the
alteration, appeared at the head of
the stairs.
I" William" he said, in fiercely
angry tone, "show the brazep, in
fernal scoundrel up to me; if you can
not handle him / will"
The book agent made no further ef-
fort to break into the Justices pres
ence.
The London Mail correspondent
says personality IN South Africa that

other soldier is General Il, whose
vocabulary, extensive and peculiar, is
the subject of many stories.
In the general advance towards Pre-
tOria, one of the most polished of oui
generals, seeing solitary horseman
riding about under heavy fire, sent
an orderly to tell "that fool" to gel
under cover if he did not wish TO be
shot. The orderly returned with the
lnfoi m ,tion that he had delivered his
message and that the officer had sale
many weird things, among which was
the intelligence that he was Gen. II.
