This is the season Of the year when
many an Italian organ grinder takes
his instrument to the place where he
can "getta the new tunes in" There
are several of these workshops In New
York, says the New York Tribune,
whose sole business is repairing and
refitting the "carrousel organs" as
they usually call them. Two or three
are in Park row. IN this city particu-
larly do the grinders seem anxious for
the latest popular airs.
Many n grinder comes with his Or
gan on his back for the new tunes.
For the small organ he pays S. tune

The piece is transcribed by ear from

The usual charge for putting eight
new airs In a small or "band" organ,
is S25. Such an organ originally cost
perhaps $50 Something very lively.

This Pump Works Itself

A device which will save the auto
mobilist much annoyance and trouble
Is the automatic tire pump recently in
troduced by a Western firm. This
pump is SO fashioned that it may be
fastened to any artillery wheel and
the initiating operation is performed by
the turning of the wheel, so that the
tire may be inflated while the ear is in
motion. The apparatus consists of
plunger pump that is fastened to one
of the spokes, with rubber tube CON
Meeting with the tire valve. The pump
is operated by means Of an eccentric
arrangement which surrounds the
wheel hub, and one member Of the de-
vice Is held against rotation by q cord
which may be fastened to the mud
guard or some other fixed portion of
the car above the wheel.
The apparatus is equipped with a
cutout appliance by which It is thrown
out Of action after pressure Of ITO
pounds is reached, and the pump is
said to be capable of maintaining the
pressure at that point in the face of a
leak of any ordinary proportions, so
that 1t is possible to make run home
or for help In the event of a puncture
without the necessity of stopping to
make n temporary repair. With the
use of this device the tire may be
maintained at a uniform point with
out attention. For Initiating the rear
wheels the device may be applied, and
the rear part Of the vehicle being jack
ed up, the tires may be filed by start.

Letter from Virginia.
% the Editor of the Dispatch:


Here we are to impose on the
kindness of the Dispatch. On leav-
ing our home. at White Rock We
promised legions of friends that we
would let them hear from us. For
the first, at least, We will ask the
! kind indulgence of the editor.
With William and Horace, we left
Alstou on the 30th of March. Mrs.
Lizzie Stone, who had been visiting
her people in Spring Hill during the
winter, was on the train with her
children. Our trip took US by Ashe-
vile, N. G, Morristown, Tenn, Mrs.
Stones home, and Bristol, Tenn.
The latter place we reached about
1870 p. M, where We lodged for the
night.
Many Of you have seen the country
to Asheville and know the fine seem
cry Of the mountains. From here
on to Morristown, the scenery is in
many respects wonderful. To con-
struct railroad through such mount
aims was a remarkable feat. Our
train wound around and across the
French Broad river with the rough,
rugged mountains towering almost
over our heads. The river was clear
as crystal and the mountains seemed
to bend over to see that our dashing
train did not hurt the placid stream.
Unfortunately, human greed is fast
defacing natures landscape of beauty,
and on every mountain the beautiful
forestry is being destroyed. Every
now and then you pass a little saw
mill. and you see logs being rolled
down the mountains. Our country
may pay for this in great freshets
and dry seasons. The Pacolet food
is an illustration of the one, and the
Russian famine of some fifteen years
ago illustrates the other.
Well, We reached our new home in
Rural Retreat on Thursday about
1870 q. m right side up with care.
Many kind people met US at the
train, and we soon felt that we were
in the hands of friends. The rest of
the family comes on next week, so
we have not begun housekeeping yet.
This is high, rolling country and IS
very productive. OF this we expect
to write later. This will suffice:
Land sells for 500 an acre and can
hardly be had at that. We will have
nice home with kind and indus
trious people.
Greetings to all. More anon.

Homicide in Chester

". E. Perry, an operative in the
Wyle Cotton Mills in Chester, shot
and instantly killed Langdon L.
Boozer, manager of the mill store, on
March 9th. The difficulty which
led up to the killing arose over an
account of 81 which Perry refused
to settle. Mr.. Boozer was a native
Newberry county, his home being at
Kinard in that county. He formerly
lived this side of Prosperity. He
was closely related to Mrs. Joseph
Lown, who resides on the Orange
burg road near here, and is said to
have been young man of quiet,
steady and Industrious habits and
was general favorite with those
with whom he had dealings. His
remains were taken to Kinard and
inferred in the burying ground there.
Perry, his slayer, made his escape
and at last accounts was still at
large. A reward of $500 is offered
for his capture.

70 His Excellency D. G. Reyward,
Governor:
Columbia, S G.
Hereto attached is a petition to
your excellency asking that com.
mission be appointed to examine the
mental condition of Marion Parr,
now under sentence of death for
murder. Upon an examination of
the petition I find that the request
is based upon the belief of the
mother that her son could not have
''committed the deed for which he is
condemned to death in his Senses"
II that was the case it should have
been set up as defense and jury
of his country allowed to pass upon
the issue. There were no develop
ments at the trial of the case that
would indicate that Parr had any
other than ''his senses" when the
crime was committed or any other
than ''his senses" when the trial took
place. On the other hand the evil
dence indicated that he was quite
cunning in his endeavors to cover up
his crime; and at his trial he stoutly
denied his guilt and told as plausible
tale, in his own behalf. as could
have been devised under the circum-
stances.
Those facts taken in consideration
with the additional fact that be has
since admitted his guilt convinces
me OF the legal correctness of the
jury's verdict and I am constrained
to say that I cannot recommend the
appointment of commission such
as is asked, when there is not even a
prima facie showing of the mental
arrangement of Parr. TO make
such Recommendation upon the
showing made would, to my mind,
be the setting of a precedent that
would be harmful TO the admins
tration of justice in South Carolina.
Respectfully,
George Bell Zimmerman,
Solicitor of 9Th Judicial Circuit.
