Both Needed Trimming.

An old lady of his flock once called up
on DR.. Gill with a grievance, says Lon
don Tit Bits. The doctors neckbands
were too long for her idea Of ministerial
humility, and after long harangue on
the sin of pride she intimated that she
had brought pair of scissors with her
and would be pleased if her dear pastor
would permit her to cut them down to
her notions of propriety.
The doctor not only listened patiently
but handed over the offending white bands
to be operated upon. When she had cut
them to her satisfaction and returned the
bibs it was the doctors turn.
't.Now," said he, "you must do me a
good turn ALSO"
"Yes, that I will, doctor. What can it
be-"
"Well, you have something about you
which is deal too long, and which causes
me no end of trouble, and I should like
to see it shorter"
ssIndeed, dear sir, I will not hesitate.
What is it? Here are the scissors; use
them as you please"
"Come, then," said the sturdy divine;
"Good sister, put out your tongue"

The Barnwell Lynehfng.

Governor Hayward is taking hold OF
the lynching at Ulmer with firm hand,
and says he intends to probe the matter
to the bottom. 1t seems that the two
negroes were arrested and locked up In a
house on Mr.. Craddock's plantation, in
stead of being carried to Barnwell ard
put in Jail. Had this been done, and it
appears that there was plenty Of time, no
lynching would have occurred. Govern.
or Hayward has removed Magistrate s. E.
Ulmer from Office, and in the letter OF
removal the governor states that he is
satisfied that the magistrate is guilty of
neglect of duty. Sheriff Crsech, of Barn
we'll, made strong report to the gov
ernor in reference to the lynching.

Alliance Fight Settled.

The announcement that the Supreme
Court had decided the Farmers Alliance
case puts an end to a long and tedious
fight for the possession of $4,000 which
belonged to the Alliance exchange and is
all that remains of once powerful or
ganization.
The fight started several years ago
when q. E. Brookshire, business agent
for the exchange, announced that the
fund could not be distributed as was de.
sired by the stockholders. An Injunction
was brought and the fund thrown into
the hands of receiver. Afterwards it
was deposited in the Palmetto bank, of
Columbia, and has since remained there
awaiting decision by the Circuit and
Supreme Courts.
The decision means that the fund will
be distributed among the stockholders
and it is probable that a meeting will
soon be called to do this. 1t has been
suggested that the money be turned over
to the Southern cotton association OF
some other organization for farmers, but
it is not probable that this will be done.
There was originally about $4,000, but
some of this has been lost in litigation
and some by mismanagement.
