ish ship in Napoleon's time he was cap"
tured by French frigate and was taken a
prisoner down to Martinique in the West
Indies He was kept there about two
years. But he enjoyed more or less lib
erty, and he managed to get a very good
acquaintance with the French language.
After a while he was released and he
landed from an English vessel in Canada.
He happened to hear Of the French count

"Wel, Count James, as we called him,
was a great friend Of Franklins. The
comte's old companions used to speak Of
.it. They used to tell how they and the
count had entertained Franklin ana John
adams at Passy, and especially how the
count had furnished the American ENJOYS
the house that they occupied at Passy
during their negotiations. This must have
been true, because a descendant Of the
counts was entertained by the American
government at the time of the centennial
celebration Of CORVALLIS surrender
about, let me see, about 1881. The same
stories were then published about Count
James hospitality to Franklin.

$500 J. S. Bond From Germany
1t Was Found Back of an Old
Daguerreotype-Interest
Ceased in 1879.

Washington, Sept. 19. "A five
hundred dollar government bond
on which interest had not been
paid for nearly thirty years, was
presented for redemption at the
treasury department today. The
owner will not be paid interest
for the entire period, however,
for the bond was called for re
demptlon in 1879 and interest
ceased then, but the unpaid cou-
pons amounted to S1S7. The bond
was forwarded from Balnheim,
near Frankfort, Germany, where
1t was found back of an old dag
uerreotype. While being cleaned
the frame came apart and the
bond, wrapped IN paper, fell out.
The finder knew nothing of the
history of the picture and the only
clue to its former ownership is
that the frame was made in Wor
chester, Mass. There are yet out,
standing some 81, 257, 900 of old
government bonds upon which in.
terest has ceased at different per
iods.

Desperate Effort of Murderer tt
Escape Hanging.

New York, Sept. 10. Peter
Hernia was banged in the county
Jail at Hackensack, n. j., TODAY.
for the murder of Barney Kanter.
Before the execution was accom-
pllshed Hernia made n desperate
fight.
When two deputy sheriffs ap>
preached him to strap his arms he
tore off two brass brackets on the
side of his cell and getting into
the corridor leaped over the par
tition. He then tore off a piece
of lead pipe and shouted that he
would brain any one that came
near him. The hose was turned
ON him and as Hernia put up his
hands to ward off the water from
striking him IN the face a deputy
sheriff leaped over and grabbed
the hands of the murderer in
which was the lead pipe.
Hernia was finally overpowcr-
ed and severely strapped. He
was then placed in a chair and
carried to the gallows. The drop
was sprung and Hernia died of
strangulatlon.

Sharpers Working in LaurenS'
Secured Cash Payments to Guar
an'ee Freight Charges ON
Merchandise Which Has
Never T., me.
Special to The State.


Laurens, Sept. 81.
several farmers in this county
have been swindled out of sums
of money ranging from $40 to
$50 by two well-dreSsed fellows
of gentlemanly bearing who rep
resented themselves as agents of a
well-known supply company of
Chicago.
Ii. Nj. Smith, a good citizen of
High Point, has sworn out a war.
rant for the men and the warrant
has been placed in the hands of
the sheriff. Mr.. Smith Folds a
receipt for $40 signed by b f
Jones. He was duped into pay
ing this on the promise that q
high grade buggy would be ship
ped to him within II days, con-
slderably under the listed prices
in the catalogue, etc which they
exhibited.
AT the expiration of the ID
days, no buggy having come, Mr..
Smith proceeded to investigate the
matter and to his establishment
upon wiring the alleged Chicago
house he was advised that they
employed no travelling agents and
the men were imposters and
frauds.
In the meantime information
reaches here from point IN
Georgia that two men answering
Jones and his companions des-
criptlon had been operating the
same scheme there and are badly
wanted by the authorities in that
State also. They travel by pri-
vate conveyance and crossed
this country two weeks ago, trav-
cling eastward.
1t is said that tho same parties
worked the farmers of upper
Rlchland county aud the Dutch
fork of Lexington county and
that warrants have been sworn out
IN those counties for the arrest of
the scamps.
