DID NOT NEED ADVICE.
Young Lawyer Sharp Enough to Max G
His Own Way.

A prominent Judge and young law.
yer were taking holiday jaunt to-
gether, and having very jolly time OF
it. One day the younger man said to
his companion:
"Judge, I wish you would tell me
what it is to which you attribute your
very unusual success in the law"
"Well, I don't mind doing 30; but
it must be on one condition, and that
is, that you agree to pay the rest of my
travelling expenses on this trip.
To an ambitious young fellow of con-
siderable inherited fortune that was
not too much to do, and so he agreed.
ut is simply this" said the judge;
" I always makeit rule to deny every
thing and insist upon proof"
His friend acknowledged the re-
mark with simple "thank you," and
nothing further was said about the
matter.
The Judge did not limit himself in
his wines and other expenses, and
WAS running upa pretty bill. When
their stay at that hotel was ended,
and they went to the desk for their ac-
counts, the judge received his, and pas
sed it to the younger man with twin
kle in his eye.
"Why, what does this mean ?" he
asked.
"Mean ~ said the judge, ait simply
means that you agreed to pay all my
expenses on this trip, and here's my
bill"
Judge" said the other, II deny
everything, and insist upon proof"

Reflection OF a Spinster.

A gay bird is quite likely to be an
old crow.
A woman must have lots Of tact to
know whether or not she will please a
fellow by noticing his first delicate
growth of maustache.
The girl who marries for money can
be sure of something tangible; the one
who marries for love may find she has
nothing
Many a girl marries just to show her
best friends that she dosen't have to be
an old maid if she dosen's want to.
Men are not vain, but they always
make sure their friends see their new
shoes.
A good wife Is one who never objects
to anything her lord and master may
want to do.
When man is made be is little low
er than the angles; afterwards he
spends the time widening the distance;
sometimes he succeeds wonderfully
we'll.
Most men think when they spend
most of their time with girl they've
done their duty and don't have to
spend anything valuable.
A man always thinks he has great
courage and individuality of character
when he sits up in conn any and tells
people right before his wife that he is
manager of his own house.

Five Good Weather Rules

An officer Of the weather bureau at
Washington has collected a great mum.
ber of weather proverbs. He says that
these proverbs forecast the weather &C.
curately. and he thinks that they
should therefore be memorized by far
mers, sailors and all such persons as
are out of reach of the daily weather
reports.
The following five proverbs are those
that the officer sets most store by:
Rain before seven, fine before eleven.
A mackerel sky and mares, tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails.
IF the rain comes before the wind.
Lower your topsails and take them in:
If the wind comes before the rain,
Lower your topsails and hoist them
again.
A morning red, wind or rain dreau.
A circle round the moon bringeth rain
soon.

a population of two hundred thousand.
1t was an old city, narrow streets close
ly built, with great many Catholic
churches; many of them were very
large structures. The building in
which the South Carolina Regiment
was quartered was said to cover from
seven to nine acres of land at any rate
our Regiment only occupied portion
of the building. The s. G Regiment
soon fell victim of that dreadful dis
ease diarrhea.
Our command was the first to enter
the city of Puebla. The city surrender
ed without the least resistance.
The loss to our South Carolina Regi-
ment from disease was greater there
than any other place staying there a
months, the Regiment was so prostrat-
ed from disease that there were scarce
ly enough well men to wait on esick
and bury the dead. All day long and
every day from the South Carolina hos
pital you could hear the dead roll play
ed by drum and fife marching some
poor soldier to his last resting place,
while there were 80 many died and
were buried in the city of Puebla.
They were buried as decently as could
be expected in an army far from home.
They were all buried in plain cof1ns.
Up to this time I do not know to
what command the South Carolina
Regiment belonged, but from this time
on the South Carolina Regiment form
ed a part of Gen. Quitman's Division
and Gen. Shields brigade two brave
generals who always led their respec-
tive commands in battle.
From here we moved forward in a
forced march for the city of Mexico in
August, 1S47. About the middle of
the month we reached the outposts
and forts that protected the city of
Mexico. The first fortwe come in con-
tact with was Contreras. Gen. Quit
man In coming in hearing of the fort,
soon realized that there was fight on
hand. Gen. Pillow and others who
were in advance had attacked the fort.
The roaring of cannon and musketry
was like that of cane brake on fire.
Gen. Quitman's command had just
arrived at a village called San August
tine within a few miles of the Fort
about the middle of the day, August
1S47, to wait for the provision train be-
hind, for we bad been on force march
and we're ahead of our ratiOns and
would have been very proud to see the
bread wagons coming, before they
came the long roll was beat and all
soldiers to arms, Col. Butler on the
color line with the captains of COM
panies all coming in to form the Re-
giment for battle. Col. Butler advised
the Regiment to leave all their belong
ings at camp and 60 to battle unen.
numbered. We moved forward with
our brave Colonel in front, who
thought his Regiment could do, more
than any other. and the Regiment,
rank and file, thought so too.

1t was built nearly a hundred years
ago. It. stood until a month ago
when it had to be torn down.
1t would seem that a greater mum
ber of new and fine houses have been
destroyed while the old mble-down
houses that were rotting with age have
been almost totally exempt from loss
or DANCE by fire.
It is clear that fire will destroy
either class of houses; and the facts
show that more fine houses than
shacks are burnt.
The recent calamitous fire at Green.
wood, we believe, started in the most
valuable structure in the burnt district.
In Abbeville we expected a reduc.
ton in rates because of our most ex.
cellent and efficient fire department.
If any reduction in rates has occurred
we do not know it. Expecting great
things in the matter of insurance we
put in two inch pipe, with two
pieces of five-foot hose. In a little
while the rates were raised
When the Medium office was
moved from over Mr.. Smiths store
and solid brick W all between US. we
expected a reduction of rates. The
rates were again raised few weeks
ago. And we hear that the town
must now have another rating be-
cause of our lack of an ocean of water.
Solomon says, there be three things
which I do not understands: the way
of ship in midst Of the sea, the way
of an eagle in the air, the way of a
serpent on rock-and he might have
added the ways of insurance compa-
MES and the causes of accidental fires.

PAT CALHOUN SUED FOR $50, ZOO

Miss Mararet Calhoun Files Bill O
Attachment On The Georgia Ant
south Carolina Property - Makes
Sensational Charges Against Broth
er.
Atlanta, June Pa Special. )-The
declaration in the attachment proceed
ings which Miss Margaret M. Calhoun
sometime ago instituted against bel
brother, Patrick Calhoun, of New
York, was filed Friday afternoon with
the clerk of the superior court. The
allegations in the declaration are sen
sational. Miss Calhoun charging that
her brother by misrepresentation, ob
tained from her the title and deeds tC
all of the property she owned, save hel
wearing apparel She claims that the
property was worth at least $50, 900
and sues to regain possession.
The petitioner charges that on De-
cember l6, 1901. she was persuaded by
her brother to deed all of her property
to him. She says that he entered in to
and signed contract agreeing to place
$50, 900 with the Maryland Trust COM
pany, of Baltimore, as trustee, to be
invested for her. He guaranteed that
the investment would bring her not
less than $1,000 per year, or $3.50 per
month. He gave as his reason fol
wishing to do this his brotherly love,
stating to her, it is alleged, that he
did not wish to have her worry about
the management of the estate, when
he could care for it much better. The
income from the $4,000 deposit would
be sufficient to support the petitioner
in comfortable manner for the balance
of her life.
1t is charged that Calhoun failed to
deposit the $4,000 in cash with the
trust company, but instead deposited
$50 900 worth of preferred stock in the
Houston Oil company speculative cor.
poration, which be was promoting.
She charges that since then both oil
and trust companies have failed, while
her brother has over $780, 900 worth OF
judgments outstanding against him.
She alleges that her brother never has
nor never intended to deposit $4,000
with the trust company, and charged
that she has failed TO receive cent OF
the guaranteed interest since October,
1903, about which time the attachments
were filed.
The attachments cover the "CoX
farm" in Dekalb county. which Miss
Calhoun decided to her brother, and
much land in Carolina which she in
herited from the estate of her grand
uncle, James Edward Calhoun. The
petitioner is represented by John L.
Hopkins & Sons.
