Mich, two civil war veterans agreed to
play pinOchle for the village champion
ship. the conditions being that the winner
must take ten consecutive games De-
scribing the long contest, correspondent
Of the Chicago Record-Herald writes:
Might after night, alternating between
the bones of the two contestants, and
emitting Sundays. the contest has gone
on for a score Of years. Several times
Wallace had nine games TO his credit
only TO lose the tenth 70 Lazelle. But
patiently and carefully the score was
kept and II is said that in all the twenty
years Of playing not an angry word was
spoken by either Of the contestants.
When Wallace won his tenth consecutive
game last Wednesday night, Lazelle.
promptly challenged him for another
series, but Wallace declined on the
ground that neither he nor his opponent
would live long enough to finish It"

From the London Globe
A Paris contemporary has made a dis
covery concerning our English postage
stamps revealing the curious phenomenon
OF the Servian coronation stamps, on
which the head Of the murdered King
Alexander can be seen by inverting the
head Of King Peter, only the peculiarity
m the present instance is Of more
cheerful nature.
We are told that on looking at the cur
rent English stamps through the magni-
fying glass there can be seen on the pro-
file OF the King young and beautiful
woman in the act OF putting on her hat,
the youth and beauty element being with
out doubt purely imaginative. The eye OF
the King represents the lady's head, the
eyebrow her hat, while the nose on one
side and the shading of the cheek on the
other show the two arms IN the act OF
attaching her hat.

Brownsville is most appropriately
and happily represented at the San
Antonio carnival this week by two
of her most charming and beautiful
daughters, who are attending the
court of the Queen O fthe carnival as
the Duchess of Brownsville and her
lady in waiting. AS a fitting compli-
ment to these fair representatives,
the Lower Rio Grande Valley Com
mercial Club, through its ever
thoughtful and active secretary, to-
day sent several dozen of the beauti-
full Easter lilies that are poisoning
so profusely in Brownsville gardens
now, for the duchess and her maid
to carry in the flower parade San
Antonio should count herself doubly
blest in such vision.

Mr. Langford stated that he would
also complete the Augusta road be-

URGES DISMISSAL OF
HAVIRD CASE
SALUDA GRAND JURY REC
OMMENDS THAT CHARGES
BE DROPPED.

Saluda, July THE grand jury
which completed its work and was
discharged yesterday afternoon. in
the presentment states that there are
but five inmates in the county poor
house.
A most striking recommendation
is in reference to the charge against
Pope B. Havird for murder. 1t will
be recalled that Havird was indicted
at the December term of court on
the charge of killing a negro some
ten years ago. Upon true bill being
found his attorney moved for a
change of venue upon numerous af-
fidavits to the effect that it was
doubtful if Havird could get a fair
and impartial trial before Saluda
jury. Judge Shipp granted the change
of venue and the case was sent over
to Edgefield for trial. At the last
term of court for that county it was
continued. The following in reference
to that case occurs in the final pres
eminent of the grand jury yesterday.
A true bill was found by former
grand jury against Pope b. Havird
for a murder alleged to have been
committed 10 years ago AS petitions
signed by some OF the best men of
our county. together with evidence

dead man, that he is still alive, we
Recommend that the case be set as

There was no exhibits attached to
the presentment showing who signed
the petitions or showing the contents
of the petitions or showing on what
is based the statement that the sup
posed dead man is alive.
Aa matter of fact the people of
the county at large have taken very
little interest in the prosecution of
Havird in this matter. The informa-
ton was given the Solicitor in the
discharge of his duty investigated
the matter and had warrent issued

the bill went last year. of which
least six of the present grand jury
were members. promptly returned
true bill. AS stated the case of Hav-
ird's own showing was transferred to
Edgefield county and is now on the
docket there.
Some of Havird's kinsmen have
asserted that they saw the negroes
dead body in the woods where he
and Havird were splitting rails and
that Havird piled brush and logs on
