Lexington Lost.

Lexington and Greenwood baseball
mines crossed bats at Greenwood last
Friday. Our boys played good ball,
but by one or two errors at critical
times lost the game by a score Of 7
to 6. Mr.. W. S. Vardaman umpired
the game and gave perfect satisfac-
tion on all points. Our men was
treated nicely and hope some time in
the near future to be able to repay
th5 Delta boys in their own coin.
Greenwood has good team but Lex

out of three games from any
amatuer team in the state. The
Greenwood nine is expected to play

One forgets all about the fact that
he is not a physical giant when he is
on his feet, and you are listening to
that well modulated and penetrating
voice and watching that long endex
finger which he persistently throws
at the emeny, From his mouth roll
chunks of wisdom and eloquence
fashioned in the most exquisite Eng
lish ever heard on the floor Of the
House. 1t is an intellectual treat to
hear him. When he rises he can al
ways count on a full pressed gallery
and the cloak rooms always empty
themselves into the House, and that
is the greatest compliment any mem
ber of the House can receive, In
short, John Sharp Williams is an able
debater, finished orator, as true a
democrat as ever marked the earth as
brave as a lion, and as relentless as
fate when he goes after a republican
iuggler with facts and figures. When
he gets in action next winter there
will be more republican hair sailing
around the atmosphere Of the House
than one has seen since the days Of
Ben Hill, Lamar, Alex. Stephens,
Sunset Cox, John Carlisle and Bill
Morrison. The democracy is playing
in luck this time.

Calvin King Killed.

Calvin King, colored, was shot and
instantly killed last Sunday morning
by his son, Walter. The evidence at
the preliminary examination Monday
afternoon showed that Calvin was ad-
vancing on the boy with hatchet in
his hand when he was shot. Calvin
was reputed as being extremely
brutal to his family. Walter was
admitted to bail in the sum of 5000,
which he readily made.

"The best laid schemes of mice and
men, gang aft aglee" one of which
will relate:
The prison was laid off in an oblong
square nearly half mile long; well
planned containing think lao bar
racks, each about 20 feet, 100 feet
long, with an additional length of l5
feet for kitchen; all odd numbers on
one side, even on the other, number
ing from Main avenue going east: all
surrounded by a plank wall, like our
Jail yard, about Is feet high. On
outside, about A feet below the top
was a walk for the sentries, their
heads, arms and breast coming above
top of the fence sufficiently we'll to
handle their guns easily. On the in
side line was drawn about 20 feet
from the fence all around, called the
dead line which no man dared
cross under penalty of death.
In the plan of the prison barrack
T2 was next to parapet and the health
Of prisoners in it was so bad that
they were removed to other barracks
leaving this one vacant. Those con-
fined there had nothing to do but to
think and quickly seized upon the
plan to burrow under the fence, max
ing starting point under this bar
rack, disposing Of the dirt under the
floor. All went well until near the
fence, rock was in the way-with
not soil enough to go over and too
long to 60 under and in going around
was so near another rock that it con-
tracted the hole SO much as to make
it fat mans misery" Only a few
being better for the secrecy Of the
thing, were engaged in the work.
When all things were ready the clans
were informed and instructed and the
exit begun. One man in, another
quietly followed, the eighth man be-
ing quite corpulent stuck between
the rocks, his follower pushing him
forward. No chance to get back and
impossible to get through, he cried
out, causing stampede, the Z out
fleeing in the darkness, and those in
side seeking their hunks with dispatch
The sentinel firing his gun called up
the garrison and excitement reigned
till morning, when roll was called and
found 7 missing, four Of them being
afterwards recaptured.
This Mr.. Shipp relates as the his
tory and origin Of the mystic button,
and connected with it are SO many
memories that he esteems It as one Of
his most valuable possessions. He
has Just received the button back
from Chicago, where he sent it to
have it mounted, now using it as q

sugar imported from other countries
than France and her possessions. In
1897 this tax was maintained and ex-
porters Of sugar were granted an eX-
port bounty of about 81 per 100 kilo-
grams on all French sugar exported
to foreign countries. The new law
reduces the customs and internal-rey-
enue tax from Sll.5S to s4.S2 per 100
Kilograms, and also suppresses the eX
port bounty.
This means that the groCers and
other dealers who. since 1897. have
been paying the tax of Sll.5S per 100
Kilograms (22O pounds) will now buy
their sugar at s6I6 cheaper per 100

course profit accordingly. For example

ing forward with great pleasure and
satisfaction to the reduced prices.

sugar for the menage, but cheaper
sweets Of all varieties, such as pre-
serves. candies, sirups. Liquors, bis
cults, and all similar products into
which sugar enters as a chief ingred-
lent and which are at present very dear
in France. One of the practical results
already announced for September
will be the reduction Of nearly 2 cents
per pound on the price of chocolate
which is one of the most important
staples Of the country. The manufaC'
lturers of French sweet biscuits, known
TO the commerce of the world as "petits
