In an article entitled Esprit o
Democracy" in the democratic
campaign book is the statement
that "the duty Of democracy is to
fight the republican party" and a
few lines below is the statement
that "most OF the newspapers of the
country, nearly all OF the maya
zines, not few pulpits and the
majority of the colleges" are with
the republican party. The infer
cnce is plain; dcmocracy's mission
is to fight the press, the pulpit and
the schools OF the country. No
wonder that people who love their
country refuse to train under such
a banner.

Strict DOOrkeeper.

When the Andersons went to Califor-
MIA they rented a small furnished house
and en- gagged Chinese man-of-all-work.
The house was we'll situated and tastefully
furnished and Wing Lee proved to be a
good cook, clean and respectable.
AS soon as the Andersons were settled
the neighbors began to call, and it was
then that the fact was discovered that
Wing was absolutely devoid of any ideas

So one morning the ladies determined
to instruct him. Providing him with a
tray Miss Anderson went out, rang the
bell, was shown into the parlor and wait
ed, while the calm Chinaman carried her
card to Mrs. Anderson.
This was repeated several times, until
the ladies were quite satisfied that Wing
was perfect in his role.
That evening at half-past the bell
rang. Wing shuttied majestically to the
door, while mother and daughter hung
breathlessly over the banisters to watch
the result Of their teaching.
They heard gentleman's voice ask if
the ladies were at home. They saw Wing
present his tray and receive card with
an air which made them mentally pat
each other on the back, and then they
saw him draw a card from his sleeve.

Some Abandoned Vermont Farms.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man writes from Williamstown, VT, con-
corning some abandoned farms near there.
I took a ride, he said, through Northfield,
not a very good farming town, down the
mountain into the pretty little village of
Waitsield, on the Mad River, and gener-
ally known as the Mad River Valley.
Here are the best farms and farmers that
| know of in Central Vermont. Corn was
well cared, and was apparently good
crop, much ahead of Orange County. The
farms were level, and one could see farm
after farm with nice houses and large
painted barns But back towards Waits
field Mountain / saw different condition
of things There must be a thousand acres
of abandoned farms. Many buildings, once
happy homes, are deserted and decaying.
l cannot quite understand the reason; for
most of the lands were quite level and all
kinds of farm machinery might be used to
advantage. One place in particular i'm
pressed me. 1t had a very fair house, but
poor barn. There must have been 200 acres,
80 of which was very level and free from
stones. Yet the moving fields were grow
ing up to golden rod and only three or
four acres of good grass on the farm.
This could probably be bought for 81 800
or $4,000. Directly across the road were
the best fields of corn and oats that have
seen this year. also nice large, level mOw-
ing fields and good buildings. 1t seemed
to me that the difference must be in the
man, not in the location and soil. AS l
came back over the mountain and looked
upon the magnificent river from 1000 feet
above sea level could not help wonder
ing why city people did not buy some of
these farms for summer homes at cost
less than what many would spend in a
single summer at mountain or seashore
hotels.

Predestined ObSeUuieS.

One morning, while visiting in Rich
mond, says q writer i'll Harper's, | over
heard the following conversation between
my hostess and the cook:
"Pleasc Mis- Gawdon, may git off mex
Sunday to go to the funral of friend of
minc?'
Next Sunday? Why, Eliza, this is
only Monday! They wouldn't put a
funeral off for week"
"Yes'm," respectfully; "but dey has to,
cause he aint dead yit.'
Not dead! l am positively ashamed
of you. How can you be so heartless as
to arrange to attend the funeral of man
who is still living? Why, he may not
die at all
"Yes'm, but he will; dey amt no hope"
ut is impossible to say that, Eliza; the
best doctors are often mistaken. But
even if they do know case to be hope
less they cannot predict the exact time
of a mans death with such a certainty
that the funeral can be arranged so long
beforehand"
"Yes'm," with calm assurance; "but he
will be buried mex Sunday, for all dat,
cause he's gwin' to be hung on Friday"

Sayed from the lYncherS.

COLUMBIA, September 20-This after
noon a negro, Sam Williams, was brought
by deputies from the Aiken Jail and
lodged in the Penitentiary here for safe
keeping by order of the Governor, who
had been advised by the sheriff of the
Imminent danger of lynching during the
night.
Some time ago q negro broke into the
kitchen of house occupied by a Miss
Clark, in VaucluSe, and assaulted her.
She furnished an accurate description of
the man, and he was identified by many
as Sam Williams, strange negro, who
had been loafing around the town for
some time. A posse was organized and
the search kept up for some days, but in
vain. =
About two weeks after this crime three
negroes again broke into Miss Clark's
house and demanded supper She wasterri-
fed, especially as she thought she recog-
nized her assailant as one of the party On
the pretext of obtaining some sugar she
slipped into another room and out to a
neighboring house and gave the alarm.
No trace OF the negroes was, however,
ever discovered.
Last Tuesday Williams, the man an
swering the description given by Miss
Clark, was found in an unoccupied house,
which he had broken into, near Vaucluse.
He was taken by surprise and captured
without effort. When captured he was
dressed in blue oyeralls, 4 red shirt and a
pair of odd shoes, the same costume he
was described as wearing when the crime
was committed. The odd shoes were par
ticalarly noticed, as these peculiar tracks
were found outside Of Miss Clark's house
the morning after.
The people were wrought up and had
he remained in Aiken tonight ne would
almost certainly have been lynched.

Wise Youths Fate.

One of Memphiss brightest young men
left on his vacation up north some three
weeks ago, says the Memphis Scimitar.
Look out for the bunco steerers in the
big Cities" his friends advised him.
Don't form any new acquaintances on
the cars or at the hotels. Don't buy any
gold bricks, and when anybody offers to
Sell you any green goods at a tempting
discount, avoid him.
But such advice was not necessary for
the bright young man referred to.
20, I'm wise" he assured his solicitous
friends. They've got to get up early to
get ahead of Willie. Whenever anybody
-" and so on, spoke the young man,
with 4 look of almost human intelligence.
Well, he went forth. His vacation is
about at an end He is due home in a
day or two. Maybe he won't arrive on
time, for this morning his employer re-
ceived dispatch from him as follows:
Cincinnati, o., Aug. 20.-Pocket picked.
Money and transportation gone. What
shall / do? Willie.
To this soulful inquiry the heartless
employer replied by wire:
Memphis, Tenn, August 20.-Weather
and walking good. Hike. Look out for
the cars when crossing treStles.

his body, with badges of mourning to
their class which was draped in white.
He was laid to rest in the Branchville
cemetery. We extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.

A Tragedy at Hampton.

A dispatch to the Columbia Statefr ON
Hampton tells of a shooting affray there
yesterday afternoon between Archie and
Hagood Gooding on the one side and
Perry Kearse and his brother on the other,
in which Archie Gooding was fatally
wounded and later died. The Goodings
and the Kearses are cousins and have
differed in politics, the conflict between
them in this respect being thought to have
caused the shooting.
Hagood Gooding was a candidate for
the Legislature at the recent primaries,
and, though he led the ticket in the first
primary without getting a majority of
the votes, yet on the second ballot he ran
last and was defeated. 1t is believed that
Gooding charged the Kearses with res
possibilities for his defeat. Archie Good
ing was the town marshal of Hampton.
The fight took place at the G. & ". c.

No Trouble to Help Search.

A woman stopped at cloth counter in
one of the large department stores recent
ly and asked to be shown some dress
patterns suitable for early autumn wear.
The salesman began on the lowest row of
shelved compartments and pulled out and
opened box after box until the counter on
either side of him was piled rs high rs his
head with goods. Three times he climbed
a ladder to the upper rows and staggered
down under weight of box patterns un-
til, when the woman took survey of the
shelves, but two patterns remained un-
opened. Then she said, very sweetly:
II don't think I'll buy any to-day. I'm
sorry to have troubled you, but you see 1
only came in to look for friend"
"No trouble whatever, madam" he re-
piled politely. Indeed, if you think
your friend is in either of the remaining
two boxes, l don't mind opening them
too."-Philadelphia Times

A prominent Baltimore physician tells
the Baltimore Sun the following anecdOte
about Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist:
When several years ago Mr.. Jones was
at Emory Grove Camp, the newspaper
reports of his sermons caused him to
complain.
At the last service he looked down at
the reporters, who sat at table just in
front of the pulpit, and said:
"And I want to tell you fellows that l
like you lot, in spite Of your manifold
faults. You boys don't treat me right,
though. You take my sermons and pick
out piece here, piece there and piece
somewhere else; then you string the pieces
together, and, naturally, they read funny.
Now, suppose / reported the Bible
that way! Aman asks me what the Bible
tells him to do. / read in one place, And
Judas went out and hanged himself |
turn over and read, Go thou, and do like
wise And in another place l find, And
do it quickly
Now, you see, boys, that sort of thing
won't do; it amt fair"

Graham county Jail, at Clifton, Ariz., is
unique 1t comprises four large apart
ments hewn from the solid quartz rock
of hillside. The entrance is through a
boxlike vestibule built of heavy masonry
and equipped with three sets of steel
gates. The floor of the rockbound Jail is
of cement and the prisoners are confined
exclusively in larger rooms. Some of the
most desperate criminals on the south
west border have been confined in the
Clifton Jail, and so solid and heavy are
the barriers to escape that no one there
has ever attempted break for freedom.
The notorious Black Jack was there for
three months. The wall of quartz about
the Jail is Is feet thick. Clifton is one of
the great copper mining camps in Arizo-
ma, and has the reputation of being as de-
praved community as yet exists on the
frontier of civilization. In summer the
mercury there frequently rises to 12O in
the shade, and in the winter it never goes
below 40 degrees.-New York Tribune.
