Two Kinds Of Law.

Judge Julius NJ. Mayor tells story IN

who was arraigned before a colored JUS
tice of the peace during reconstruction
times for killing man and stealing his
mule. It was in Arkansas, near the Tex

tween the States, but the colored justice
tried always to preserve an impartial
frame of mind.
aWe'se got two kinds OBJ law in dis yere

The prisoner thought minute and then
guessed that he would take the Arkansas
law.

HUNTED NEGRO WITH HER RIFLE.
A Granddaughter Of Wade Hampton Protects Her
Honor from Black Brute

DoTLEsTowN. Pa, November IA
fendish attempt to criminally assault Mrs
William Copeland, a fine looking Georgia
woman of about IS years, granddaughter
of Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Caro-
lima, was made near Plumsteadville last
evening by young mulatto, and the
community is thoroughly aroused.
Mrs. Copeland went to the barn last
evening to feed the pet pigeons, as is her
custom.
Just as she entered the barn door ne-
gro sprapg upon her and terrible strug-
gle ensued. Mrs. Copeland fought with
all her strength, and though nearly all
her clothing wastorn of, succeeded finally.
in escaping from the negro's clutches and
rushed to her house, where she secured q
rifle, with which she is an expert, and
started out to hunt her assailant. Neigh.
bors attracted by her cries focked to the.
scene and aided her in the search, but the
negro had made good his escape. Mrs.
Copeland, born in Georgia, was for some
years member of the staff of the New
York Herald. 3
Some years ago she married William
Copeland, of Virginia. Her husband spent
today with posse searching for the me-
gro. -

Marvellous Corn Crop.

Our corn crop of this year, if massed
together, would cover sixty acres Of
ground to the depth of nearly sixteen
hundred feet-a 'veritable mountain of
corn over third of a mile high. If de.
vided equally among the population Of
the earth it would give each person nearly
two bushels.
One practical deduction of the enor-i
nous corn crop ought to be material
reduction in the price of beef for home:
consumption, since it is the crop on
which beef cattle are chiefly fed.
In many parts of the West the harvest
has been abundant, but in Oklahoma,
especially, the farmers this year are
boastful of their corn crop. Favorable
climatic conditions produced a record
breaking yield. In many instances the
ears and stalks are of such unusual size
as to be veritable curiosities.
In field owned by Walter. Mathews,
a farmer near the town of Mulhall, In
Logan county, an eleven-year-old boy,
weighing eighty pounds, climbed stalk
to height of four feet, without its bend
ing with him. The stalk was strongly .
rooted, and about sixteen feet high. t
While the growth in Oklahoma was
exceptional, no traveller through the
West this fall could fail to be impressed
with the vastness of the corn area and
the immensity of the corn crop.-Leslie's
Weekly.

"Let us be thankful that our colonies

COTTON PICKER SUCCESSFUL.
Machine Given Practical Test with Good Results
Not Entirely Automatic.

ALBANY, Ga, Nov. "A cotton pick
ing machine has at last been invented and
given successful trial in the cotton fields
near Albany.
The machine is not entirely automatic,
as the arms that carry the little wheels
which gather in the staple must be direct
ed by the human hands to the open bolls.
The arms carry chain with hooked teeth,
adjusted like the chain Of a bicycle When
the machine is in operation this chain re-
wolves rapidly and the curved hooks gath
er up the staple the instant it touches the
open boil and carries the cotton upward
until it is decked off into receptacle by
a revolving brush. The machine carries
four operators and driver, for each of
whom comfortable seat is provided.
There is no necessity for any bending or
STOPPING on the part of the operative, and
all he is required to do is to direct the
well balanced and nicely adjusted arms of
the machine. 1t is estimated that each
arm should gather up one boil per second
at a very slow rate of speed, making 48C
bolls per minute for the four operators
or 2S,SOop per hour. AS the bolls early in
the season average so to 80 to the pound
one machine can pick from 5000 to 4,sO(
pounds per day of 10 hours. One ofthese
machines with four boys and driver car
do the work of 20 average pickers.

The Inspector Was About.

August Herman, the president of the
National Baseball commission, is heartily
opposed to child labor, says The Boston
Post.
"Child labor" he said recently, "is an
interesting subject to me. like to talk
about it to manufacturers and to factory
inspectors. I get from these men a good
deal of valuable and striking informa-
tiop.
"a factory inspector in the South told
me once little episode about child labor
that made me laugh. There was also in
this episode, however, food for sober
thought.
"The man said that he went one day
to examine mill that was notorious for
employment of children under the legal
age. Wind of his coming somehow
reached the mill ahead of him, and the
little fellows were slowed away in vari-
Gus hiding places. Thus, on his inspec-
ton, he found number of idle children,
but not children under age.
"He went prowling about suspiciously,
for he knew that he was being deceived.
In the stock room he noticed big pack
ing case, and going over to it, he lifted
up the lid. Inside sat little chap of or
9 years.
"The inspector looked down at the boy.
The boy looked up at him, and frowned
and shook his head.
"'What are you doing in there? said
the man.
"'Shut your mouth, you fool, and put
the lid down. the boy whispered. Don't
YOU know the inspectors about?'"

Negro Goes Crazy and Kills Himself.

OLAR, Nov. 15.-Sam Trotti, negro
about 20 years old, committed suicide here
yesterday by shooting himself in the stom-
ach with shotgun. The cause seems to
have been temporary alteration of the
mind.
Trotti was alone in his mothers room
when she heard him make statement
about gun. Going into the room she
found him laughing with the weapon III
his hands. Seeing that something was
wrong with him she caught hold of be:
son and finally succeeding in securing
possession of the gun. The boy grabbed
fire iron and tried to kill his mother,
but young sister interfered. He then
turned upon the sister, biting her severe
ly. Freeing himself he ran out of ths
house, going to neighbor's about 800
yards away. He asked woman there to
let him have her husbands gun to kill
dog which had followed him and which
he thought was mad. She told him she
did not have the gun, but seeing it in a
corner he picked it up, looked at the, wo-
man and laughed. He then walked out OF
the door with the weapon, deliberately
placing the muzzle to his stomach and
pulled the trigger, the load passing en-
tirely through his body. Just then his
mother came up. he drew knife from
his pocket and would have cut his throat
had he not been prevented. The negro
died shortly afterwards.

WEDDING AT EHRHARDT.
Mr.. s. W. Sandifer and Miss Matte Kinard Made
One by Two Ministers.

Ehrhardt and vicinity was all astir yes
terday; the weather was propitious; the
sun shone brightly and gentle breeze
blew just enough to ruf1e the leaves
which had been made crisp by the early
winters frost, all of which added pleasure
to the happy event which was to take
place at six o'clock that evening: that of
the marriage of one of Bamberg county's
well-known young men, Mr. Simmie
Sandifer, son of Mr.. P. w. Sandifer,
and Miss Matte Kinard, daughter of
Mr.. G. F. Kinard, venerable and highly
respected citizen, who resides near the
city of Ehrhardt.
The bridal party assembled at the hos
pitable home one mile from town, and
just as the sun was sinking beneath can
opy of sapphire and of gold, they left in
carriages for the church which was hand
somely and appropriately decorated, and
filled to over.dowing with friends of the
popular couple. The party entered the
church in the following order in response
to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, which was rendered by MSS Alma
Sandifer, sister of the groom;
Mr.. Harry Murphy with Miss Kate
Thomas; Mr.. Malcolm N. Rice with Miss
Naomi Sandifer; Mr.. J. Williams Garter
with Miss Sophie Copeland; Mr.. Laurie
Mcmillan with Miss Dora Kinard; Mr.. B.
W. Miley with Miss Banna Westberry
Mr. Creation E. Bamberg with Miss Virgie
Ehrhardt; Mr.. Isaac Fielder with Miss
Florrye Chassereau; Mr.. Harry Fielder
with Miss Eugenia Folk; Revs. s. P. Hair
and P. E. Monroe, accompanied by the
ushers, Messrs. Frank Copeland and En-
ory A. Hooton.
The groom with his brother, Mr. j. Cliff
ton Sandifer, of Augusta, came up one
aisle, and were met at the altar by Miss
Mollie Creech, of Allendale, as maid of
honor, and the bride. The ceremony was
;nterspersed with soft strains of music.
After the ceremony the party left the
church in inverse order, the, last going
first, repairing to the Sunday-scbool
room where they were they were in
tercepted by the 'crowd and the happy
couple congratulated to the surprise and
delay of the party.
The supper was one that we used to
read of in ante bellum days, but the like
of which we never see any more-with its
turkey, chicken, duck, lamb, and salads
galore.
The bridesmaids were attired in hand
some white silks, trimmed in fine lace
and ribbons, and were lovely set of
young women. The presents were nu-
merous, consisting mainly of silver and
cut glass. At the hour named on she in
vitations, 10 p. m, the crowd departed,
lingering till the last tick o. the clock and
feeling that it must have erred in saying:
time to bid adieu. R.
