Postmaster in Trouble.

Columbia, Aug. Lawrence Cope
land, formerly postmaster at Bethune,
in Kershaw county. was committed to
Jail yesterday in default of S2,000
bond, to await trial at the November
term of United States Court on the
charge Of embezzlement. The hearing
was conducted before United States
Commissioner Werner, and the charge
was the result of Investigations con-
Quoted by Secret Service Officer T. j.
G. Pulsifer, who. it will be remem-
bered, worked up the case against the
safe-crackers.
The charge has been pending against
Copeland for some time, and tho in
spector has had him under arrest for
quite awhile. It seems that on April
29 the Bethune Office lost about 81, 060
in money order funds and before this
had been short smaller amounts. 0ficer
Pulsifer had Copeland arrested, some
time later, and the preliminary. ex-
animation was held yesterday before
Commissioner Werner. Copeland ad-
r1itted that he drank heavily, and it
may be that this was the cause Of the
disappearance Of the funds, but wheth-
er this will hold good with the United
States Government or not remains to
be seen. It is understood that he VIII

city, and NJ. Z. Smith, of Camden,

much better on this work than was
expected. Tests have been made Of
the process by julius Bleu & Co., q
New York printing firm, on piece OF
work for the Government, which had
to be printed in fifteen colors. Ordi-
narily the shrinkage Of the paper, aft
er it had received several impressions,
would have caused large percentge
of waste when the remainder of the

chemically treated paper every impres-
sion registered perfectly.
There are some details regarding
methods of applying the new compound

do not present any serious obstacles to
Its general application to ali classes OF

GE0RGIA's PRISON SCANDAL.
Miss De- Girls Makes an Ugly
Charge Whipping Admitted.

Milledgeville, Ga, Aug. 11.-In the
investigation begun at the State
prison farm here today by the State
prison commission, of charges against
Warden Allgood of excessive cruelty
toward Miss Mamie De Girls, white
prisoner, she declared that she was
whipped last June, not because she
had been insolent to the warden's
wife, but because she had Indignantly
repelled improper proposals made to
her by the warden himself. She was
whipped so severely, she declared, that
she bore the marks for some weeks and
afterward was compelled to work in
the fields for two weeks. The taking
of evidence has not been completed,
but while Warden Allgood admits in
hicting the punishment, he declares
it was not excessive and was neces-
sary to preserve prison discipline.

The Coming of the Rock.

H. 3. Geer in Southern Cultlvator.
By common consent, the Barred Ply
mouth Rock is accorded the first place
in the general esteem OF American
Pouitrymen. It is not claimed that it
is the long sought "best breed, !" but
it is admittedly the most popular one,
and is more extensively bred than any
other variety. Therefore, there must
be, or have been something back or
it, at the beginning Of it's career, to
make this variety s1ch . .taker''
with the people and there is, really,
some facts in connection with the
making Of the Barred Plymouth Rock
that to some extent, at least, accounts
for it's immense popularity.
The English authority in poultry
culture. saws: sThe Dominique, or
cuckoo, the parti -colorsd fowl, is a
great favorite with the English house
wife. y This is saying that they hk-
ed what We now call barred, or
speckled color, black and white, or
blue and white.
Next, we observe the early prefer
ence for the Domipickers'' Of our
grandmother's days. They we're nearly
always exempt from the hatchst when
q chicken was wanted for dinner, and
were retained as breeders; which fact
led to the establishment Of quite a
classified variety of Dominiques, :"
that were later bred true to feather,
and admitted to the standard as pure,
bred variety.
That there was a very large ner cent
OF Dominique blood IN the Barred Ply
mouth Rock at it's inception, goes
without saying. This, with the in
creased size that the Black Java blood
impaired to it, soon put the Rock
ahead of the brassy- backed Dominique
in public estimation. Later, with
breeding to moro perfect feather and
uniformity of color, the Plymouth
Rock became the prime favorite, a
position it has never surrendered to
this day.
In fact, the bringing out Of new
breeds has sustained something Of a
quietus of late vars and the fanciers
have held more to the improving and
maintenance of the varieties brought
ont FIVE and ten years ago; which
fact bespeaks good healthy condi-
ton in the breeding line.
The Barred Plymounth Rock is a
hardy variety, che chickens of which
thrive at all seasons of the year. They
have good stamina for summer hatch
ing, and the pullets thus brought out
late in the season make good fall and
winter layers the following sumner
and late autumn season. In fact, the
writer once saw handsome bunch Of
Barred Plymouth Rock pullets laying
in March, that we're hatched as late
as October, the fall preceding.
Another good trait of the females
Of this variety is the way they lay in
the very early spring months, the
late freeze having no effect OH their
laying, as they Just keep right on at
it, once they begin.
Taken ali in ali, this is certainly
a 1oble variety of the feathered tribe,
hardy and profitable.
