No Country Mansions In Cuba.

You are disappointed in not seeing
splendid mansions in Cuba. The head
quarters of the haciendas consist OF
groups of low and unlovely buildings,
surrounded by ugly walls, but in this
respect, as in many others, appear
ances are deceitful The frequency OF
instructions and the enterprising ban
ditti have made it necessary for plant
ers to protect themselves and their
homes as securely as possible, ana e7-
ery hacienda Is a fortress capable OF
being defended by the retainers OF the
owner who live with him within the
walls. Some Of the larger plantations
are still maintained on the feudal sys-
TEN, but many Of them have passed
from private ownership into the hands
of corporations, and the former pro-
prietors are living In Madrid, Seville
Paris or perhaps New York. while
salaried administrators reign In their
stead. The patriarchal relationship be-
tween the owners and the tillers OF the
soil is rapidly passing away.-Washing'

Spartanburg Bridge Goes Down.

SPARTANBURG, Aug. 27.-The
bridge across Fair Forest creek,
about three-quarters of a mile from
the city limits, went down this after
noon about 2 o'clock with four mules,
stationary engine and two colored
men. Two of the mules were killed
and two injured. The colored men
escaped injury. One of the men who
was along with the outfit is named
Pickenpack, well known colored
man, and he came to the city, report
the accident to T. R. TRIMMER, who
owned the mules and engine.
Spartanburg county is having bad
luck with it's bridges, as Fair Forest
is the third bridge that has given way
under traffic this year. Some time
ago the bridge across Tiger river,
near Moore's Station, fell as a wag-
on load of negroes was crossing it,
resulting in the loss of several lives.
The bridge at Whitney, across Law
sons Fork, also went down with a
party of colored persons as they were
returning to the city in a hack from
a picnic at Cherokee Springs.

A Wise Old Mule.

Our old mule would not work a1ter
12 o'clock. We would be compelled TO
unhitch. go to the barn and let the
mule eat as long as he was able TO
swallow; that would be about TWO
hours. Then the mule would be ready
for work. 1t mattered not how late
in the day when the mule was taken
out in the field, or how cloudy 1t might
be. The wind might blow SO strong
that the sounds Of the bells and the
whistles could not be heard, or the
work would be in some out OF the way
place where no one could be seen going
to dinner. Yet when II o'clock came
to the minute, he would refuse to Work
any longer. We have taken feed ano
let him eat before noon, but this dlo
not satisfy him; he must go to the oarnn
at noon or kick everything to pieces
We tried the mule in coal mine, out
with the same result. He seemed 10
tell the time In the mine equally as
well as out Of it-Chicago Tribune.

Housebreaking and Larceny.

Ben Mcleod, alias Ben Wesley, a
negro, was arrested here last Friday
morning charged with housebreaang
and grand larceny. On Thursday
afternoon he broke into the house of
Mr.. E. P. Kinard in the Ehrhardt
section and stole a gold watch. He
also entered the house of a negro in
the same community but did not
carry off anything.
Mcleod was seen by Mr.. Copeland,
a brother-in-law Of Mr.. Kinard, as he
Jumped out Of the window and ran
off, and Mr.. Copeland tracked him to
Bamberg. A warrant was sworn out
at once and. the thief was soon cap
tured. He was positively identified by
Mr.. Copeland, and althoughhe denied
everything at first, he later acknowl-
edged the theft and told where he
hid the watch. 1t was found under
Prices ice house.
Mcleod formerly lived in the Ehr-
hardt section, but for the last month
or two he has been around Bamberg.
He is now in jail awaiting trial at the
coming term of the circuit court.
