j. +. Taylor of Rose Hill in Mahas-
ka county, has had an experience which
teaches that money should always be
sent in manner that will leave evil
dence that 1t was really sent. Taylor
sent 5000 in paper money in an en-
velope to the Carr Scott Company IN
Indiana. to pay off the balance of the
mortgage on threshing machine. He
got the mortgage and release BACK
and later the company sued him for
the money claiming that 1t was never
paid and that the sending OF the mort
gage and release waa q mistake. In
the lower court Taylor won and the
case is now in the supreme court. Al
ter receiving the mortgage and release
TAYLOR asked for the note and when ~
was refused brought suit to cancel IL
and won.

guments of the attorneys have been
filed with the clerk Of the supreme
court. The argument Of the county is
that where the bank knowingly receiv-
ed the money illegally 1t became in law
the trustee of the county treasurer
and that the country had the same right
to sue the bank and lay claim to the
money that the country treasurer
would have.

THE NEGRO AND THE RAZOR.

How the Dread Weapon Came lnte
Use and How He Uses 1t.
IF Commissioner McAdoo really
gets the negroes Of this town to give
I'D their razors," said a southerner
"he will accomplish something like
miracle. The razor has been the
negro's weapon for q good many
generations. His use Of 1t for Of
fence and defence goes back to the
days of slavery. Firearms were
forbidden to the slaves, and they
naturally took to q weapon that
was easily concealed and that had
an innocent use.
1.-The razor was just the thing
The slave always had the excuse
that he needed his razor for shaving;
so that the master could not reason
ably deprive him Of it. AS matter
of fact. the slave hardly expected to
use the razor against his master
It would not have been an effective
weapon in an uprising. 1t was, how
ever, and still is effective in a pri-
vate quarrel. 1t Is literally true that
in winter time the negro carried his
razor in his bootleg. I suspect that
many a negro made for himself q
special pocket in the bootleg to carry
the weapon.
1T is hard for the white northern
hn m
be an effective weapon. But the ne
gro does not WELD his razor. from
the handle. He turns 1t back, so that
he can grasp the thick of the blade
between his finger ends and his palm.
Thus he gets the use Of the whole
cutting edge. The weapon makes q
long, but not a very deep wound.
On this account razor fights are sell
dom fatal There Is plenty of blood
letting, and a nose or an ear may be
taken off.
II hear that the Italians, frighten-
ed by the punishment bestowed for
carrying the ordinary concealed dead
ly weapons Of their race, have learn
ed from the negroes to carry razors
AS likely as not the Italians will
find some way Of making the razor
an effective weapon for their pur-
poses. Some negroes know how to
use 1t with great effect. and the temp
tation to slip the weapon into the hip
pocket on going out for an evening
stroll Is likely to be too strong for
them even in the face of the effort
to enforce the law against carrying
concealed weapons"-New York Sun.

CENTER OF POPULATION.
Indications That For the First Time 1t
Is Moving Eastward.

There is a strong probability tha'
the center Of the country's popuia'
ton, which from the beginning along
to 1900 had been pushing westward
has reversed its course. Some hgn'
on this point will be obtained In
few weeks. Many states make q
count OF inhabitants half way be-
tween the national enumerations
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey. Florida, Michi'
gan. Wisconsin, Minnesota, NORTH
and South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas
Utah, and Oregon do this In lSOo
Iowa Is predicting practically
stationary population for itself. On
ly a small increase is looked for In
Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota ano
Kansas. An average Is predicted for
the Dakotas, Utah and Oregon. On
the other hand, considerable gains
are expected in New York, Massa-
chusetts. New Jersey and Rhode Is
land, while Florida believes 1t shares
IN the eApdIlSiOi "hhSh - ''o
the south the most rapidly growing
section in the country today. All
this would indicate a movement OF
the population center toward the east
for the first time in the country's g
annals.
The south Is having a prosperity un-
known in it's previous history, and 1t Is
attracting settlers from the north and
west and from Europe. The national
bureau Of immigration Is helping to
divert immigrants to the south and
thus relieving the congestion in the
great eastern centers. In 1900 the
population center was close to CO.
lumbus, near the middle Of Indiana,
having moved westward only four
teen miles in the ten years after
1890, as compared with forty-eight
miles In the decade Immediately
previous to that While this
movement Of the population center
to the west was steadily slackening
movement to the south, which
brought the center two miles nearer
to Mason and Dixon's line in the
ten years ending with 1900, was In
progress and Is still under way

LAST OF A FAMILY OF GIANTS.
Death of Thomas Lifts, One Of Ten Re.
narka able For Their StrAnnth

Death of Thomas Lifts, One Of Ten Re.
markabIe For Their Strength.
The last Of the old Lifts family, one
Of the most remarkable families In the
state says the New York Sun, has gone
with the passing away Of Thomas
Lifts, who died in Monticello on July
20. He died suddenly from the effects
Of the extreme heat while at work in
field near his home. He was 80 years
Of age, and for the last half century
had been one Of the most commanding
and prominent figures In Sullivan
county because Of his size and Won
derful strength. He was sergeant in
the 143d regiment Of New York Volun-
teers. and was the strongest man in
the regiment. Every member of the
family of ten, five males and five
females, was as strong as a giant and
the wonderful feats OF strength per-
formed by them won for them almost
| national fame.
Thomas Lifts, while attending the
old-time logging and haying bees, on
different occasions had been known to
pick up barrel full of cider and drink
from the bunghole. A brother carried
barrel Of pork on his back q mile
without resting on a wager, the pork
being the wager. In the days Of his
young manhood Thomas Lifts weighed
over 200 pounds and was an athlete.
Even the daughters were more pow
erful than ordinary men. 1t Is said
that one of the girls has also been
known to lift a barrel of cider by Its
chimes and drink from its bung. She
once saw three or four able bodied men
attempt and fail to place a heavy mill
iron upon a wagon. She threw them
right and left with her hands, telling
them to get out Of her way, and then
unassisted and with ease, lifted the
iron to its place on the vehicle.
In his young days one Of the broth
ers was considered an expert wrestler.
and sporting men from distance came
to measure their skill and strength
| with his. One of these was a famous
wrestler of the city of New York.
When he called young Lifts was not
at home. Seeing Miss Lifts, he made
known his business to her.
What" exclaimed she, "wrestle
with mine brother!" and she eyed him
as If taking his caliDre. why, you
are foolish. Go back and save your
money, for l can throw you mine self.
She continued to jeer and banter
him, and finally dared him to the en-
counter in such a way that he accept
ed her challenge. He found her
strength and skill too much for his
science. Her feet and ankles were
protected by the drapery which sur
rounded them from the advances of
his heels, but they found no obstruc-
tion when she attempted to trip him.
She sent him to the grass twice with
such celebrity and force that he retired
| from her fathers dooryard vanqulshed
and crestfallen. He returned to the
metropolis without delay, believing
that II Sullivan county produced such
girls it was folly TO contend with the
| men.
| Four of these giant brothers died
unnatural and violent deaths. Benja-
mine was run over by the cars, William
was poisoned by his Jealous wife,
Charles was killed In mill by being
caught in the shafting, and Thomas by
sunstroke.-New York Sun.
