a WakefuI Italian.

Last Friday evening the people living
witllin seveisl blocks OF the court house
were aroused from their sleep about eleven
o'clock BY hearing ear splitting screams in
terrupted occasionally with terrific bangs
and clangs which came from the direction
of the county jail The stlrmises as 80 the
maker of the noises were yarisus. Attimes
the voice of the disturber was raised to a
high squeaky pitch, and again it would
vary into the tone of solemn chant The
man was to all appearances making either a
political speach or preaching a-sermon,
perhaps doing both AS if to give special
emphasis to his remarks the man would
bring down plank on some loose metal
which would send out upon the still night
air terrific noises. The voice of the rest
less one at last died down and finally be-
came quiet
Captain Platt said the noises we're made
by George Romeo, Italian, who is waiting
to be taken to the states Prison Early on
Friday evening Romeo showed disposition
to keep all of the prisoners who were contin-
ed in the court house cellar awake. War
den Platt advised him to be quiet but he
said that he was restless and would rather
stay awake all night. The Warden then
thonght he would confine Romeo in the
Jail where he could not disturb the other
prisoners: The broken stone aud the scraps
of iron and plaster scattered on the cement
floor made a bed which one would rather
stand than lie upon. Romeo then began to
scream and pound on the sheet iron until
as Capt. Platt says, he wore himself out. =
Romeo howled until he was hoarse. Sat
uIday night he enjoyed peaceful dreams on
a softer1eoach

RAISE FOR RURAL CARRIERS
500 Year More for Two-thirds of the
Whole "a. 500

The new salary schedule for rural mail
carriers has been completed, and applies
July l. The last Congress raised the max
imum salary from $500 to 72o a year. It
was found that the maximum route was
twenty-four miles long, and to carriers on
routes of this length, numbering about 12,
600, the maximum salary will be paid.
The salaries of carriers on routes shorter
than the maximum was fixed by deducting
SIS for each mile less than twenty-four.
The net result has been that slightly over
two thirds Of the whole force Of "A, 500
carriers haye received increases of 500 a
year. The remaining carriers have received
increases of less than this amount

When the tolls and cares of the day are
over, and the children are at home from
school, then comes the most delightful
hour to the family circle. The outside
world is dismissed, and father and mother
and children are together in sweet COM
munion and unshaken trust. There is no
vacant chair. There is not face missing.
Death has never visited this home. The
hour of retiring comes, and blessed with
fathers instructions and mothers prayers,
the little group retire for the night. May
it not be that angels hover over such a
home during the silent watches. All homes
where the family circle is unbroken can be
just such home as this with slight effort
on the part of each member of the house
hold.

SOME SOBER THOUGHTS.
Shining Example of Filial Devotion Why
So Many Fail of Distlnction-A
Missing Monument.

When Garfield was inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States, March 4, 1881,
after he had taken the oath of Office in the
presence of many thousand people, he
kissed the Bible and then turned and kissed
his aged mother and his wife. No artist
can do justice to that event. He knew
how proud his mother was to see him in
stalled in the highest Office in the gift Of
the American people, and in that hour of
exaltation his heart turned to his mother.
How different this beautiful example left
By our President, to that of the average
'sYoung American" who never fails to
speak Of his mother except as the old
woman

Complimentary Notice of Former Citizen
>.A. Of Anderson.

Our former young townsman, &C.
Leatherstone.. Esq, of Laurens, was
defeated in the tirst primary election
as q candidate for the House of Repro.
sentatives in that county. The Laur-
ems Advertiser, in speaking of the re-
suit OF the primary, says:
so far as the results in the county
are concerned they could not hut ba
satisfactory. The candidates general
~ were competent and honest and
there was no opportunity for material
plumbers. Had MIR. Featherstone been
nomInated for the House, Laurens
would probably have been able TO
hoast OF the most fOrcefuI leader in
that body. In our Judgment MIR.
featherstOne has nothing to regret in
his defeat. Why lawyer of his ca
p!acity and place at tho bar would de-
sire to go to the legislature in these
times is rather more than we can un
derstand except of course upon the
theory that his is o peculiarly high
sense OF unselfish patriotism. Mr..
Featherstones service in the House,
mad he been elected, would have con-
Ierred Tar greater obligation upon
Laurens County than the voters of the
county could have conferred upOn
MIN. We Suspect that Mr. Feather
stone ls to be felicitated upon hls de-
feat 80 far as his selfish interests are
concerned ~

Stabbed by His Host.

Mystery surrounds the stabbinR of
w. X. Sullivan, of Anderson, s. C.,
who has just recovered from wound
in the neck received at 50 Carroll
street, two weeks ago last "Wednesday.
w. l.. LedfOrd, who lives at that mum.
Der, and who was Snllivan's host, was
bonnd over to the city court by the re-
corder Friday morning on the charge
of stabbing
an excursion. and spent a day or two
with LedfOrd. On the day he decided
to return to Anderson, he and Led
ford had few drinks together. That
night, he says, he left the sitting room,
walked out on the veranda, snt down
and went 10 sleep. When he awoks he
was on the ground and stabbed in the
back, and his assailant ran around the
house. He was taken to Grady hospi-
tai, where he stayed until Thursday.
Then he made the case against Led
ford.
Le'lford stated that he was in the
room when Sullivan fell from the
porch to the ground. He found him
there, he said. and a pint flask, crush-
td TO bite, was under him. He thought
that the broken glass might have
caused the cut.
Sullivan's bloody shirt, with q cut in
