CHASED WRONG PIG.
Didn't Know Il, However, Until Twas
Too Late.
A Few Details Telling Why He Won't
Talk Pigs.

Out in the quiet confines of an Au-
gusta suburb there dwells a tiller Of the
soil, who raises pigs as side-line to
the soil tiIing. 1t is greed for gold
which causes him to raise the squeal-
ers and it was the same greed which
caused him to visit the residents of this
city not long ago and persuade them
that they each needed nice young pig
gle at their homes.
Whether 1t was his smooth and easy
manner Of conversation. his powerful
arguments and setting forth of figures
whereby to prove that it would be a
financial benefit to them or that they
were a little bit off their feed on that
day that caused them to fall victims to
his words and order the pigs, ia un-
known. he that as it may, the fact
stands firm and uncontroverted that
they did so. And when they had given
their orders thre was no regrets or
thoughts of coming trouble in their
minds. II there were any thoughts OF
the future in regard to these young pigs,
they took the form Of mental pictures
depicting nice tender spare ribs being
served on cold winter days, along with
golden mashed turnip, steamed squash
and all those fixings which make din
ner of that kind more eatable.
On, yes they were pleasant dreams,
which those men INDUCED in on the hot
days that elapsed between the time Of
the giving Of the order and the delivery
cf the young porkers. Dreams that
made the dreamers pray for the pass

for sale. He brought with him q wag-
on load Of black little pigs, which at
tracted much attention and found
ready sale. But, though there were
many who wished them. he retained
two of the choicest in the lot for the
men who agreed to take them. In due
course Of time they were delivered and
the farmer had received his cash. -
UP in two small pens on the same
street and some distance from the busy
whirl of Water street, the two little pigs
moved contentedly-no. not two. only
one, for the other roamed the street az
free as any bird Of the air.
Down in Water street two men were
busy with their days duties giving no
thought to pigs and trouble. Noon
time came at last. ~
One Of these busy men sprang into
,, his team, drove home. AS he brought
his horse to standstill in the yard,
his wife rushed out to inform him that
the new pig had escaped from his QUAR-
tiers and was then foraging about the
neighborhood. *
With not a single moments hesitation
the reins were dropped and the man
started out to catch the pig. The pig
had other ideas. He wasn't prepared
to return to pen at that time. Re-
sides, he wanted to look the city over q
bit more. The chase became exciting.
Neighbors came out and took a hand,
that is to say, they took mouth. for
their assistance consisted entirely OF ad-
vice in words, but not of aid Of ma
terial kind. For nearly an hour the
chase lasted and. when the chaser was
nearly ready to drop from exhaustion,
when his clothes were much soiled. the
pig was caught and returned to the pen.
Then
Horrors!
His pig was still in the pen. III
twas his neighbours pig he had work
ed 50 hard to capture.

Dear Journal:
Conspicuous among the cottages
built during the past season on the
semi circle, just west of Hammond S
Grove. is that of Frank E. Smith, treas
urer of the Augusta Trust Co. 1t is by
far the most artistic and costly camp
erected in this section the present year.
Indeed, it has been the aim of Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith to combine in it's construr-
ton more of the characteristic features
of a camp than of a cottage. The
architect is A. G. Wing, and the builder
c. E. Hoxie of Augusta, and they have
done their work well and faithfully.
Why send to Boston for an architect
when we have one in our midst so
thoroughly competent?

SOUTH oARoLINA. saARoH is, 1908.
a Receiver for the Farmers Alliance Fund.

Columbia, March 10. The Farm
ers' Alliance fund has gotten into the
Courts. The Alliance Exchan' ha,
about $4,000 on depositard ltla,
now been brought asking the ap.
lpointment of receiver and the dis
tributfon of the fund among the in.
diyidual members entitled to it. The
suit is brought in the name of III. e
Brookshire, on behalf Of himself, or
behalf of the stockholders of the
Cash Mill Sub-Alliance, and on be.
half of all other stockholders of the
"Farmers' Alliance Exchange ol
South Carolina, limited," who viii
come into this action and share the
expenses thereof. Plaintiff against
the Farmers Alliance Exchange oi
South Carolina, limited: A. @. Lyles
j. l.. Keitt, j. B. Douthit, j. #
Ashe, S. Il. McKeown and o. p
Goodwin; M. L. Donaldson and c.
j. Colt, on behalf of themselves and
all other creditors of said Farmers
Alliance Exchange, defendants.
The plaintiff is represented by
Lawyers James Werner and Bellin-
ger, Townsend and Haskell. Appli-
cation has been made to Judge Ern-
est Gary for the appointment Of a
receiver, and he has fixed the 21st of
March as the time for hearing argu-
ments, if their be opposition to the
appointment of receiver, who is to
marshal the assets and distribute the
fund, according to the direction of
the Court.
The complaint alleges that the AL
lance Exchange is not using the
money for the purposes for which the
fund was collected, and on that ac-
count the money should be returned
to those who paid it for fear of its
being dissipated.
The order is brief, but the COM
plant covers a great deal of ground
and gives the history of the fund.
The court will also be asked to
hold the fund in its entirety, as the
directors of the Alliance, it is stated,
are not now using the fund for the
original purposes.
1t is further alleged that there are
debts or claims against the fund,
which ought to be met, and that
some decision should be had as to
the validity of these claims.
The case is likely to be interest.
