The Thirteen Clock.

An ingenious timekeeping ar
rangement exists today which was
designed by that famous duke of
Bridgewater who laced South Lam
cashire with canals, and died 100
years ago.
The duke was a great stickler
for punctuality, and he was annoy
ed that the workmen on his estate
at Worsley did not return to work
after dinner as promptly as they
left off when the clock struck II.
When he demonstrated he was told
that while the workmen always
heard the clock strike IL, they often
failed to hear the single stroke of
l. The duke Of Bridgewaser
quickly found a remedy for this diff
ficulty. He had clock made that
would strike thirteen times an
hour after noon, and that clock
prOclaims l o'clock with a bakers
dozen of sonorous strokes to this
day. The "13 clock" is one of
the curiosities of Worsley hall. =

FINES PLANTERS FOR PEONAGE.
But Judge Suspends Most of Punishment
During Good Behavior.

Macon, Ga. June 24-In the United States
Court to-day Judge Emery Speer imposed fine
of s., 600 each three young men-William
Shy, Arthur Glawson and Robert Turner-for
holding a negro in involuntary servitude. He
suspended the fine under conditions In fining
the men he said:
In view of the fact that it is the first crime of
this kind which has occurred in Georgia and
because of the frank confession of the young men
sentence is imposed in order to convince the public
that the purpose OF the Court Is to warn and
deter others from like crime. During good be-
havior the fine is suspended upon payment of 500
by each party
The men, who are well known farmers, caught
a negro who was in debt to them. gave him a
whipping, and made him go to work for them
Judge Speer said that the negro problem could
not be solved by such harsh measures and that
the laws of Georgia were against such treat
ment.

Talk.

Methodist Episcopal Church, at the annual meeting
of the board held yesterday in the Bible House
would not entertain resolutions dealing with the
Delaware Iynching One of the general officers had
drafted the resolutions.
In explanation. the bishop said: I'VE are here to
attend to the churchs business, and not to pass
resolutions They do no good and only bring
on IRA tionaI talk. Since L have been a olshop
have allowed no such resolutions in my con-
ferences The Ivnching was deporable 1t has
brought disgrace to the State but resolutions can
do good"
Bishop Charles S. Smith, who lives in Detroit,
Mich said: Such acts have only two results,
first to dechristanize the negro and to make him
lose confidence in Christianity and second, to drive
him utilization with the socialistc element and
into a desperation born of despair. The examples
of the Presbyterian preacher of Wilmington would
make the world believe that the red flag of anarchy
had superseded the banner of Christianity.
