Judge PEBBLES said that respondents

as long as they saw fit. They went
into the jury room, but were not out
more than ten minutes when they filed
back into the court room, and Mr..
Busbee stated that they could not then
agree upon the best course to pursue,
but would suggest that His Honor give
a recess until after dinner and let re-

Judge PEBBLES said he thought the
suggestion a good one. Mr.. Busbee
then requested that they be furnished
with copies of affidavits which the
judge intended to file.
The judge replied that he would not

RAISING MONEY ORDER.
"A New Swindle and the Method OF
Operating it Explained.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N c., May 26.-Auoth-
er ingenious swindle besides the pass
ing of one dollar bills raised to ten, is
being worked on Greensboro mer-
chants, two of whom have been "bit"
this week This fraud IS being prac-
ticed by negroes, is worked by rails
ing money orders, and the sWindlers
have been operating in Charlotte,
Wilmington, Richmond, Greensboro
and other places in the past two
months. Postmaster Glenn gives the
following illustration of how the thing
is worked:
"a confederate in Charlotte, for eX-
ample buys a money order there Tor
fifty cents, payable at some other
point of an obscure location. This or
der is then forwarded to a confederate
at Greensboro The name of the
town where the order is payable is
taken out by chemicals, and Green's
boro" inserted. The wave line, indi-
eating no dollars is taken out, and
thirty or forty or in one case fifty is
written in. The Greensboro confederate
goes to q store, usually dressed in
overalls to convey the impression that
he works in the city, often explaining
that he works for the railroad or some
shops, buys four or five dollars worth
of goods offers the money order in pay
ment, which in most cases is cashed
as a matter of course. The swindle
is discovered when the order is pre-
Sented at the DOStOffice.'

GREED.

When God hail made the world He stood
And gazed upon the charms it had:
The thing that He had done was good,
Its glowing beauty made Him glad.
The fowery meads. the verdant hills,
The fragrant woods, the spreading seas,
The fertile plains, the laughing rills
And snowy peaks combined to please.
Contentment, full and deep and sweet,
Was over all that craWled and crept.
Between the drowsy tigers feet
The hare lay down and calmly slept.
Then GOO, the Maker. standing there,
Became perplexed and shook His head.
1.-THE world that l have made is fair,
Nor might be more sublime" He said.
"But if in such a realm as this
l set up man to proudly reign.
How should he dream of future bliss
And future glories to attain:
"Here, mid the beautiful and grand,
From sorrows left forever free,
His highest hopes would center, and
Down here his paradise would be-
Therefore, that man might never deem
The world sufficient to his need
And so that Heaven should be supreme
The Lord created Greed.
