Had Two Sheriffs.

Hernando, Nov. 2l. The Cir
cult Court of this county has just
adjourned after a full session of
two weeks. Among the cases of
interest disposed of was the Moody
case, for the killing of Sheriff
Williamson last August. II was
mentioned in these columns last
week that this case was before the
court on an application for a
change of venue. The change
was granted to the First district
of Pamela county, but, the indict-
ment being for murder, the de-
fendant was not, prima facie, en-
titled to bail, and the case came
up this week on writ of habeas
corpus for the purpose Of procur-
ing bail. The court excluded the
evidence except that Of the cir
cumstances immediately surround
ing the killing, and, as on that oc-
casion, the deceased made the
first hostile demonstration and
everything which led up to it, and
which would have explained this
demonstration, being excluded,
the court found that upon the re-
cord before it the defendant was
entitled to bail, which was grant
ed, in the sum of $3, 900. Another
unusual feature of this case was
that the present sheriff of De Soto
county is brother of the sheriff
killed by Moody, and being dis
qualified by interest and relation
ship, was relieved as to this case,
and Hon. John P. Withers.
sheriff elect, was appointed in his
stead, thus presenting the unusual
spectacle of a court with two high
sheriffs.

The Modern Printing Press.

In its special number on Mod
ern Aids to Printing the Scien-
tific American publishes an inter-
esting interview with Theo. &.
De Winnie, Americas master
printer, from which we take the
following: Il began my expe-
rience as printer in 1843- f in an
Office which was not as big as one
floor of a small dwelling house.
1t had only one old-fashioned
Washington hand press and no
steam press. The newspapers
even did not have steam presses.
In 1885 | went with my father,
who was an old friend of James
Harper, to the latter's printing
Office. It was the first time was
in one. This printing house was
in Cliff Street (where they are
now. It had dozen hand
presses, but no power press. One
or two newspapers only had them.
The New York Sun, established
by Benjamin I'll. Day, was printed
on hand press. He was job
printer, and as he did not get
enough work to do, he conceived
the idea of making up a paper and
selling it for cent. The circula-
tion ran up SO rapidly he could not
print enough. He engaged three
pressmen, and each one worked
about twenty minutes and pulled
like horse at the hand press until
he was played out, and then an
other took his place. They got
out 400 or 500 copies an hour.
The Sun was afterwards sold to
Moses Y. Beach, who put in a
cylinder press.
There was not much objection
made to the introduction OF the
power press here. It began in a
very slow and timid way. The
first attempt to improve the quail
lity of printing was made, l. think,
lby Daniel Fanshaw, who had an
office at Ann and Nassau streets.
He put in a Tufts press, and to
furnish the power a donkey was
drought every morning and bands
were passed under him by which
he was hoisted to the top floor,
where he trod a tread mill and
furnished power. That was about
! 1885 or 1887. After the Tuft
i press came another, the name Of
which cannot recall. Then came
| the Adams, and this is in use to-
/ day. A Boston book house even
now does three quarters Of its
work on the Adams platen press, Z

Earl Burehfield, a fourteen year
old boy of Attala county, has set
an example fol youngsters of his
age that is worthy of emulation.

and harvested four heavy bales of
of cotton and 100 bushels of corn,
besides a bank of potatoes and
other truck found about a we'll

Senator Money is entitled to the
banner when it comes to introduc-
ing bills. There may be Senators
who introduce more bills than
does the gentleman from Carroll
county in the course; of a session
of Congress, but it is stated, and
is no doubt true, that Mr.. Money
now enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing introduced a larger number of
bills in one day than any other
member of the upper house, 233
being his record. About 200 of
these were for private claims
against the government. Clarion
