Governor Was Too Fresh" )"

London, England, Jan. 21.-
After a conference between the
officials of the foreign and the
colonial Office the latter ca aoled
Governor Sweetenham of Jamaica,
asking for bis version on the situ-
alton which led to the withdrawal
of the American warships.
The Foreign Office suggested the
propriety of securing the gover-
nor's statement without delay as
it was felt the incident might
cause irreparable injury to the
friendly relations now existing
between the two governments if
not promptly explained.
The officials of the Foreign Of
fee said: "It is unexplainable, I"
adding: "We are sure none re-
gret it more than we do"
An official Of the Foreign Office
said the greatest appreciation was
expressed everywhere when it was
announced that Admiral Evans
had dispatched the vessels and no
criticism was heard anywhere of
the landing of armed men.
Its difficult to find justifca-
ton for the Governors letter."
he said, adding: "We shall
make every effort to have the af-
fair cleared up without delay and
we hope the Americans will with
hold judgment until this can be
DONE"

Some Workings Of the Exemption Law.

Al an example of the workings
Of the exemption law for bank
rupts, We give an instance noted
in an exchange. A firm that
vent to nearby town short
while ago aud opened q mercan-
tile business, soon made an as
signment, with liabilities amount
ing to 81 400. The stock was ad-
judged to be worth 500, aud a:
zach member of the firm is en-
titled. under our antiquated ex-
emption law, to $500, the stock
was turned over to them, and the
creditors got nothing. Now if We
had a law compelling creditors to
chip in, in suoh a case and make
up the diff renee between the val
ue of the property and the amount
of exemption, it would be just as
sensible, just as fair and just as
favorable to business as our ex-
emption laws are now. These
laws were enacted In a time of
stress, just after the war, when
they were imperatively needed.
They are not l-eeded now, and
are nothing more than a shield
for rascals to hide behind.-Lex.

of last week. The charge against
him was that he enticed laborerl

the arrest he proved to be a walk.
ing arsenal, having four revolvers
and many knives of various sizes
on his person. He was placed in
Jail and tried. The evidence was
not sufficient to convict him of
enticing laborers, but the guns
spoke for themselves. He explain
ed that one gun was his, the rest
and the knives being property
pawned with him by negroes who
owed him. The mayor placed him
under a bond of 500 to answer At
court. Herndon said he had been
working railroads for years, that
his father lived near Grover and
that his brother was a merchant
at Grover, Cleveland county, N.
G. He gave bond, leaving proper
ty as surety.
DR.. G. M. Clodfelter met with a
very laughable experience Monday
night, and it might have been se-
rious, but it wasn't, and the laugh
is on him. He had a call to the
country and when a mile or so
from town thought he would cut
off some by. leaving the main
road, and was swinging along at
a good gallop when he ran into a
mans yard, the proximity of
which was made known to him by
q clothes line wire catching him
under the chin and lifting him
from his ho:se He rested his
chin on the wire an instant and
then sat down on the ground with
more spesd than. grace. Mean
time the horse stopped and began
grazing on the tender blades of
grass which this lovely January
weather has coaxed out of the
ground.
Gates Spry, white, has been
lodging the officers for several
days. He is charged with vagran-
cy, in that he does nothing and
lives on the earnings of his family.
He put up a small cash bond, but
forfeited it, and has been hiding
out since then.
Rev. A. L. Bolick, pastor at
Holly Grove, sustained painful in
juries last week in a runaway as
he was going to preach the funeral
of Mrs. Henry Palmer. His horse
was frightened and ran when he
was about three-fonrths of a mile
from Beck's church. Mr.. Bolick
was thrown out and his shoulder
dislocated, and he was painfully
bruised. He was able to be in
town Monday and asked us to
state that he would probably be
able to fill his appointments at
Books and Lebanon next Sunday.

Fire, early Wednesday morning,
almost completely destroyed tho
large building and plant of the

near the depot. The mill bnild-
ing proper, four-story brick
structure, and the large sheet iron
grain elevator, nearly 100 feet
high, adjoining the east end of
the building, and which at that
time contained about 10000 bush
els of wheat, were entirely de-
stroyed. The mill warehouse, To-
Gated west of the mill and Just
across a narrow street from it, was
slightly damaged by the fire and
lot Of flour stored in the house
was damaged by water. The es-
timated loss to the mill people is
$4,000, with about $58, 900 in
surance, $12. 900 or SIS, 900 of this
being on the warehouse. !:

ett, who is the Cougressman-elect

The Landmark has urged the
people to plant trees. A lady
who had some young trees, called
up the Office yesterday to say the
trees had been broken by boys
swinging on them. Sometimes
trees are damaged by children
who are simply thoughtless, but
the punishment for the act ought
to be sufficient to remember next
time. In other cases trees are
damaged by boys who are simply
vicious and who want to destroy
something. In this case tie pun
ishment should be az severe as
possible-so severe that the vi
ciousness will be curbed, if not
eradicated. The people who are
careless enough to hitch horses

be given a dose that viii, stop that
