sHB TOLD A PITTUL STORY.
His Wife's fearful Pleadingito Magistrate
Chappell Secures Laws Griffin's Re-
lease From the Chain Gang.

Magistrate Chappell was unable
70 withstand the tears OF wife
and mother. BY his order, her
husband, unable to take the altern-
ative of paying fine, had gone to
the gang the day before. When
he heard the woman's pleadings
and saw her tears he went to Super
visor Schumpert and agreed to be
responsible for the fine, and the
man was released from the gang
and went home to his wife and
children.
The man released from the gang
| was Laws Griffin. He and his
little brother, aged thirteen years,
were brought before Magistrate
Chappcll Friday morning charged
with petit larceny. The boy was
convicted of petit larceny and the
man Of conceaiing the stolen prop
erty, and each WAS sentenced to
pay fine of $lS. SO or to work on
the gang for thirty days. Each
pleaded guilty to the charge on
which he W as convicted. The two
Griflins were arrested by the town
authorities early Thursday morning,
on a telegram from the conductor
on the c., c. e N. train which
passed Clinton at 800 Thursday
morning, stating that they were
suspected of stealing gold watch
and an empty pocket book from a
lady on the train. The property
was found on the mans person,
and he said the b. y stole it, and
the boy confessed the theft. The
full story Of the crime and the cap
turc appeared in the last issue of
The Herald and News. The prop
crty when taken to a jewcler was
valued under $40. and the crime
having been committed at Whit
mirc, in Newberry county, the
case was taken before Magistrate
Chappell, with the result stated.
Griffin and his brother being un-
able to pay the fine Of %IS. 50 each,
went to The gang Friday morning.
The boy, it is said, proved to be a
hard customer, saying when he
reached the gang that if he had to
go to work he supposed he must,
but that he would like very much
to have cigarette first, if the gen
tleman would give him one.
Laws Griffin, the elder man, has
wife and three children at the
Mollohon mill, where he was work
ing before going to Chester in
search of hands, on the return from
which trip he got into the trouble
which had sent him to hard labor
for thirty days for the county's
benefit. His family was in straight
cncd circumstances. After his con-
viction, the woman said, starva-
ton stared her and her three little
children in the face. Saturday
morning she went to Magistrate
Chappell to ask intercession for her
husband. She promised to help
her husband work and pay the fine,
and she promised to see that it was
paid. She said she was physically
unable to support her children, and
they were thrown on the mercy of
the world She pleaded and finally
she wept, and then it was that the
magistrate promised that her hus.
band should be released. He ar.
ranged the matter with Supervisor
Schumpert, and on Saturday Griffin
went back to his home at the Mol
lohon mill

DIR. WASHINGTON HEARTILY RE
CEIVED.

Trenton, April Color in Trenton
society's line was altogether relaxed
tonight when a large and fashionable
audience thronged the big hall of the
Y M. G. A. to hear an address from
Dr.. Booker T. Washington, the we'll
known Negro leader. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Contem-
porary Club, composed exclusively of
women who are social leaders.
DR.. Washington was the guest while
in Trenton of DR.. and Mrs. James M
Green, the former being principal of
the State schools, and the latter one Of
the most accomplished women Of the
capital.
The famous Negro was accorded
every mark of consideration, not only
by his hosts, but by other social leaders
of the city, many calling to meet him
this afternoon.
This afternoon, in company with
State Superintendent Charles ]. Bax-
ter and ]. Bingham Woodward, of
BOrdentown, DR.. Washington visited
the IrOnSides Manual Training and
Industrial School at Bordentown
where Mr.. Washington addressed the
students.

PURSE ON "GULLIBILLITY."

Ihere Is no race of people known
TO civilization superior to the Negro
in gullibility. Even the Negro crooks
swindle their own people without
mercy. Green goods, money-making
machines, hair oils, patent medicines,
root doctors, and cOnjurerS may be
mentioned as a few of the agencies,
with which the ignorant, and some
times the intelligent, Negro is swind-
led out of his hard earned money.
Street fakirs formerly had a great fas-
cination for me, but l have sworn off.
This is how it happened: Last winter
l went down town and on the corner
of Whitaker and Broughton 1 saw
street vender with his wares and a
large crowd around him. [ went up
OF course to see what was going on,
and before L knew it l had a ten cent
can opener and knife sharpener in my
pocket. Well, Mrs. Homes after ex-
aiming the article and listening to my
enumerations of it's merits, asked
where l made my purchase; 1 told
her, as 1 never could tell a falsehood.
You should have heard ner. l said
Prof. was there; Prof. moth
ing," she said, q have a can opener
and a good rock for my knives. You
have been gulled." 1 confessed that l
had been gulled. But l told her l
would never let another fakir fake"
me. Dear reader, have nothing to do
with street fakirS, root doctors, con-
jurers, fOrtune-tellers, eX-slaves pen
sion agents, bogus preachers, bogus
agents of every kind. Always know
what you are getting when you pay
out your money. This is what expert
ence and Mrs. Homer have taught, and
the latter in some very fOrceful and
effective language; some of it [ should
not like to repeat.

AMENITIES OF THE PRESS.

ablest papers in the West, gets very
jockey some times, saya Editor Chase,
OF the Washington Bee. Very aptly
put and we might add very 'fooly"
sometimes. That fellow Wilkins thinks
he is the only race leader in the West
let him tell it. We have always had
very high opinion of the Conserva-
Tor, but that fellow wilkins head is
sWelled. The Bee accuses Editor
wilkins of playing to the grand stand,
and The Bee says: =
You are too good man to be fool
ca Editor Wilkins, and throw up your
hatat grand stand plays"
Dare now! Wonder what he is go
ing to say to Editor Chase for making
iuch false CD accusation on the Con-
servator.

foolery. In replying to Rev Fenwick
the Conservator concludes with this
unique egotism:
And yet this pig-faced, pious duck
assumes to criticise and dictate to a
great paper like the CONSERVATORY
Gee whizi What gall exaggerationI
hyperbale! This fellow does not
know the meaning of greatness if he
styles his paper as great. We admit

A NEGRO WORTH MENTIONING. .

The logic of the white press of the
South ia peculiar. Perhaps its best
exponent is found in the capital city
of the nation, but it, even, cannot see
the Negro question in any of its varied
forms except through green spectacles.
The Post in its issue of the fourth
instant contained an editorial COM
mandatory of Mr.. William PickenS a
Young Afro-American who has follow
ing quite a line of Negroes in winning
distinction az a New England Univer-
sitv. While we heartily concur in
every personal compliment of the
Post to this worthy young gentleman,
IFS deductions from his case do not
stand the test of analysis. He is pat
roniZingly patted on the back for win
ming the culture afforded by a uni
versity training and its sequential
refinement, but he is warned not to
attend dinner parties and other high
class functions, where he will be sure
to find the society of his eQuala He
is encouraged to be a leader of his
race in the best sense, but he must
not aspire to high social position or
a "remunerative official place under
the government"
Would the Post offer the same ad-
vice to any brilliant young white man
who had won university hOnors?
Whatever Mr.. PickenS' color, is he not
a fuIl-fedged American citizen, and is
it not his right to aspire to any
heights, whether political or social?
Should he not be encouraged If such
be his ambition? Are not such as
piraiOns the birthright of every
American born?
The same old insidious virus turks
ha Of hn
the educated, and of course, therefore
the aspiring Negro has no proper place
in the higher civilization of this cOun-
try This sentiment is shared by the
white Trades Unions, who will not per-
nit a cOlOred man to enter the ranks
of skilled labor, the apparent deter
mtnatiOn being to keep him forever in
the lowest walks of life, and continue
him as a hewer of wood and a drawer
of water.
The reference of the Post to the con-
ditions in Hayti, to the wonderful
ciVilizing influence surrounding the
race in this country, and to mixed
blooded people, are equally unhappy.
Of Hayti and its civilization it is
sufficient to recall the fact that that
country has lost fewer Presidents by
assassination than has the United
States
The Post knows full we'll that the
large number of mulattoesI quadroons,
octOrOons suggestions" in this cOun-
try is the product of the "civilizing
Influences" of Southern white men,
and that in any event they must be
considered in any proposition looking
to the betterment of the races con-
ditiOn.
Mr.. William Pickens doubtless will
realize the highest expectations of his
friends and The Colored American
will watch his career with keen inter-
est and approval. At the same time
his example must not be used to con-
Iradict the truths of history or made
the excuse for sneering and unmanly
glbes at any part of our people, who
are all to-day more united than ever
before in their history in the struggle
for the higher things of life

,.JTjRY DISAGREED.

The owners of the three masted schooner James D. Dewell Of this port yesterday received word that the jury in the state courts at Charleston, S. G., that heard the case of the owners of the steamer Clarence of the southern port, against the Dewell for $6000 dam ages had disagreed, although a poll showed that the jury stood 10 to 2 for the defendant.
 The suit was brouFht by the owners of the Clarence, a large excursion steamer, which caught fire at her berth last May The New Haven schooner lay close by. When the steamer was burn ing somebody cut the lines and the steamer drifted out to sea and was con- stunned. It was alleged by the owners Of the Clarence that the lines of the steamer were cut by the crew of the Dewell for the purpose of saving the sailing vessel from being destroyed by fire. This was denied by the crew of the Dewells in depositions taken at Providence, R. T., by Attorney James D. Dewell. jr., of this city. ... e
 The owners of the New Haven vessel were represented in Charleston by Att torney Julius Mitchell. t.
