The Repeal of the Lien Law.

The farmers and some supply mer-
chants are beginning to make ar
rangements for another years busi-
ness. The act Of the last general as
sembly in doing away with the lien
law will have little or no practical
effect. 1t is understood that the mer-
chants who have been using agricul-
tural liens heretofore will simply use
a crop mortgage. They will proceed
under the act which provides that
no mortgage on any crop or crops
shall be good and effective to convey
to the mortgage any interest in any
crop or crops other than the crop or
crops to be raised during the year in
which such mortgage is given, and
unless the lands where on said crop
or crops shall be described, are men
toned in said mortgage. The mer-
chant will take regular crop mort
cages after January 1st and in
addition mortgages on any personal
ty that the mortgage may have. The
security will be as good, or better,
than that taken under the lien and
the only difference in handling the
business in this way. will come in
case of the foreclosure of the mort
gage, when the expenses of foreclos-
ure and seizure under the mortgage
will be little more expensive to the
man who gives the mortgage than a
foreclosure and seizure under the
lien.-The State.

ATLANTA FOLLOWS AUGUSTA.
Ministers of City Protest Against Rev.
r. j. Bigham.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 29.-What
promises to be the hottest fight In
Methodist circles in this State in re-
cent years was given new impetus
to-day when the ministers of that de-
nomination in this city protested to
Bishop E. R. Hendrix against the ap-
pointment of Rev. R. ]. Bigham as
presiding elder of this district In
place of Rev. J. T. Dawes, trans
ferred to Augusta. The action Of the
Atlanta ministers follows the an
nouncement of change for Mr.. Big
ham, after the majority of the board
of stewards of St. Johns Methodist
church of Augusta protested against
his appointment to that charge, made
at the recent conference. A reso-
luton addressed to Bishop Hendrix
and said to have been telegraphed to
him Immediately after it's adoption
was adopted by the Atlanta ministers
at a secret meeting held shortly after
their regularly Monday meeting In
Trinity curch Fifteen or 20 OF the
leading pastors of the city attended
and the discussion is said to have
been of heated nature. Names were
freely mentioned at this time,, It Is
declared, though they were omitted

MONsTROsITY AT AT BRUNSON.
Negress Gives Birth to Being More
Like an Opossum than q Child.

Brunson, Nov. 2S.-One of the
most unique products Of humanity
on record is at present in evidence in
the town of Brunson. Very recently
negro woman, a resident of this
town, gave birth to an object or be
ing decidedly, in appearance, much
more animal than human. The moth
er is an unmarried woman of about
35 years of age; black, of good health
and strong physique. The child or
product is in appearance wholly ami
NAL, and is in shape, size and general
makeup a fac-simile of an opossum,
minus the tail and furry skin. In the
place of the tail. there is stub OF
about an inch in length, the end OF
it suggesting amputation Of the eau
dal appendage. The shape Of the
four legs and feet, with claws; the
shape of the head and size of the
body, limbs and head are all 'possum-
like or animal-like. Only the eyes
are unlike the 'possum's. They are
larger, rounder and further back on
the sides of the head. This mon
frosty is not living, but is carefully
preserved in alcohol in the Office of
DR.. J. L. Folk, resident physician.
DR.. Folk will probably produce it at
the next meeting of the State Medical
Association for inspection and dag
nostic theory Of hypothesis.

along a road near their home when
three strangers approached. 1t II
said Mr.. Perdee made a wager with
his companion that the men were ne
groes. He won, but the men dis
cussed, realizing that they had been
connected with the bet, asked about
it, and resented the epithet niger,
said to have been applied to them by
the white men, and in the quarrel
which followed, Young was shot.
Mr.. Perdee and his friend had to
seek refuge in a hotel to escape

Burned by Rejected Suitor.

Tampa, Fla, November 90
Marie Acosta, young Cuban widow,
died here this afternoon from fright
full burns, inflicted upon her by re-
jected suitor. Miguel Gomez is under
arrest. Before she died the young
woman charged Gomez with having
set her afire. She declared that she
had rejected Gomez's suit, and that
with two confederates, he forcibly
entered her home in West Tampa last
night. She was bound hand and foot.
Then the men saturated her clothing
with gasoline and touched lighted
match to her.
The unfortunate woman was found
to-day, frightfully burned from head
to foot, and she died at 2 p. m,
after making a statement to the po-
lice.,
She did not recognize the men who
were with Gomez, and who aided him,
she charged, in perpetrating the aw-
full crime.

fire started in the livery stable of j.

Thomas J Craft and Tom White,
two white men, escaped from the
Lexington Jail last Thursday night
by saving two large iron bars. 1t
is presumed the men had help from
the outside. Crafts had been con-
victed of murder, his crime being
the killing of Garfield Hutto, a young
white man at a hot supper, and had
been sentenced to life Imprisonment
in the penitentiary. He was in jail,
as his attorneys had appealed to the
State Supreme Court. White was
awaiting trial on the charge of for

character, and is not likely to be cap

POPULAR AMUSEMENT DEVICES.
Some Small Inventions That Have
Made Men Rich.

Who wants to make fortune in a
hurry? Here is the recipe: Give peo-
pie new thrill, or revive an old one.
"The boon" in roller skating has
already made the fortune of several
caterers for public amusement, be-
sides having put much money into
the pocket of spectators.
Several rink companies have paid
dividends ranging from 22k to SO
per cent. while in three cases the re-
turns have been los, $50 and 155
per cent. respectively.
Big money, again, is being made
by some of the explorers of fair
ground novelties. Certain forms OF
aerial railways will draw $3.50 a
day, while it is not uncommon for
the takings from glorified round
abouts to amount to $500, or even
$500 a day.
The switchback furnishes another
illustration of how to make money
rapidly. Invented about 20 years
ago. it was first tried on the public
at Coney Island, and it literally made
that now famous American resort
and subsequently became "the rage
all over the civilized world.
AS money drawer it has had few
if any, equals. At Shanghai. for in.
stance. a railway, after working only
II days, paid all expenses, and it was
possible, moreover, for the directors
of the company to declare a dividend
of 10 per cent, and carry $500 to the
reserve fund. The dividend was
allowed 30S working days to the year
at the rate of $50 per cent. per an
mum, while the addition to the reserve
fund was at the rate of $4,000 pei
annum.
What the inventor of the switch.
back made out of it may be inferred
from a single fact Coming to this
country. he sold his English right
alone for n millions. His gains, in
fact, amounted to millions.
The most recent thrill producer Of
this kind-the scenic railway-bids
fair to beat all records It was evolv-
ed a few years ago in remarkable cir.
cumstances.
When the inventor of the switch.
back had made his millions out of it
he began speculating on the stock ex.
change, with the. result that in Il
weeks he lost the whole of his money
But instead of resolving to die he
at once set to work to make some
more, and the upshot was the scenic
railroad, which is, after all, only an
improved switchback. At once the
invention caught on" and ever since
it has been a fine money drawer.
Two or three months ago COM
pany which then owned 73 scenic
railways in America refused an offer
of $8,000,000 for it's rights.
The scenic railway of the White
City paid the whole cost of its con-
struction in the first two months ii
was working.
While, however, thrill producers
make money very rapidly, they sci,
dom do so for long. The vogue OF
the big wheel was short, and still
more conspicuous victim Of 1eetine
popularity was the revolving tower
Philadelphia Inquirer.

No Option Was Given.

Union, Nov. 26.-The report that
the Anderson Traction Company,
backed by the Duke brothers, Of
North Carolina, had secured an op-
ton on the Union & Glenn Strings
railroad, which connects this city
and Buffalo with the Seaboard Air
Line at Prides, with the purpose Of
having this railroad form link in an
interurban electric line to connect
all the up-country towns, to-day was
denied by A. W. Smith, president Of
the road.
Mr.. Smith, this afternoon in an
interview over the long distance
telephone from Woodruff, said that
not only had no option been given,
but that the traction company had
not even submitted a proposition to
him to acquire this railroad.
Mr.. Smith, who has just returned
from New York city said: Il have
given no option to anyone on the
Union and Glenn Springs property.
The. traction people have not. even
made me proposition. think that
the line will be-; ultimately built
through Union, and that the Union
& Glenn Springs railroad may be ac-
quired by it, though as yet, nothing
definite has been done for, the reason
that the undertaking is quite a btS
one, and the company has had. only
time enough to begin arranging mat
ters looking towards the construc-
ton of the interurban line you speak
Of =" -.
Yes, l am interested in the pro-
posed interurban line, and feel sure
that it will come to Union, but more
than this l cannot say at present.
