Not Another Methuselah.

In an ancient burying ground at
Germantown. Pa. there is a stono
standing over n grace. on which is In.
acribed: I'm memory OF Adam Shisler,
who departed this life December the
%. 1777. Aged 96S years" This in.
scription never fails to startle tho
stranger seeing II for the first time.
who thinks. perhaps, 1t is the record
Of a latter.day Methuselah. but the
fact is. Shisler died when he was six
ty.nine years old. The stone cutter
got his instructions mixed, and he
carved "98" as indicating the years
Shisler had lived. Discovering his
mistake. and possibly not willing to
suffer loss Of labor. he effaced the 80"
with cement and added another 80"
after the "6." which would make the
Inscription read "69 years" After
time the cement fell away. and then
the figures 1859" were left to tell
their misleading story.

SPARTANBURG FARMERS
ENGAGE IN BATTLE

Killed.
A Spartanburg special to the State
SAYS: News has reached Spartan
burg of a battle near Cashville, We'd
nesday morning, between a farmer
armed with a pistol and two OF his
neighbors with shotguns. Three per-
sons were seriously though not fatally
wounded.
There has been bad blood for sew
eral weeks between N. G. Alverson,
brother Of Sergeant AlveTson, of the
Spartanburg police department, and
Tally Norris, who has an adjoining
plantation. 1t started in a dispute
over a house. Further particulars as
to the cause of the quarrel could not
be, learned. The quarrel became more
and more bitter, harsh words We're ex-
changed, threats made, and when the
neighbors met Wednesday morning
they were apparently prepared for
violence.
Mr.. Alverson went to the boundary
line between his and Mr.. Norris plan
tation alone. Mr.. Norris was accom-
panied by his two sons. From the ac-
counts heard, Mr.. Alverson opened fire
on Mr.. Norris with .32-caliber. re-
volver, shooting him in the hip. The
Norrises were standing on their own
property, but only fifteen or twenty
feet from Mr.. Alverson. Alexander
Norris, it Is aid, fired at Mr.. Al
verson with a shotgun, The shot
struck him, putting out his left eye
and passing through his nose. Other
shot filled his face and neck. Mr.. AL
verson fell to the ground, but man
aged to fire at young Norris, shooting
him in the leg and breaking a bone. .
MIR. Norris other son then fired at
Mr.. Alverson from farther away than
Alexander had been. The shot struck
Mr.. Alverson in the stomach. He re-
turned the fire, while still lying on the
ground, and sent bullet through the
others trousers leg. The Norrises
then retired.
Mr.. Alverson, though weak and in
great pain from the loss of his eye,
got on his feet and walked distance
of 200 yards back to his home.
All three are in bed, but are likely
to recover. Mr. = Alverson's wounds
are said to be thesmost serious.

WHITE MAN AND NEGRO.
40 lI[; s!s5!sa ssasa: o D'4 =e'"'

Richmond Times dispatch.
Last January, Anthony Burgess, an
old negro man, killed his son-in-law,
down in Clarendon county, South Car
olina, because he had treated his wife,
the old mans daughter, so cruelty that
she died. He fed the county and found
refuge in New York city, where he was
apprehended last week and held by
the police for requisition by the South
Carolina authorities. Last Thursday
he was delivered to the sheriff OF
Clarendon county, who was accompa-
MED by L. R. Mcintosh. When the old
negro saw Mcintosh, he was asked
whether he was willing to go with the
South Carolina officers, and said:
Its all right. l knows dat man,
cause | nussed him when he was a
baby. and | knowed his father befo'
him. They's gentlemen, an / won't
put no gentlemen to bother on my ac-
count.
"Ill do anything they wants me to
do. I've made enough trouble now. l
run away cause was afraid of what
the niggers down there might do to
me. wasn't afraid of the whites,
cause they's gentlemen. I'll 60 back,
an if they clear me, all right; an If
they don't-why, that all right, too"
And Mcintosh slipped his arm
through that of Anthony, and said:
Come along, Uncle Anthony"
To reporter he said my fathers
last dollar will be spent, if need be, to
clear the old niger"
This is the simple story told by the
New York World And it was worth
telling, because it illustrates In a
striking way the relations between the
whites and blacks in the South; we
mean real whites and blacks that are
to be found nowhere else in the coun-
try except in the South. It is not to
be expected that the yankees shall un-
derstand the feeling that obtains be-
tween the old negroes in the South
and their former masters; their deep
seated affection, their natural good
will, their disposition to help each
other in all times of sorrow and dis
tress.
Will Uncle Anthony" be punished
for his offense? Not if the money OF
the McIntoshes can prevent it, and
there is any way to save him from the
penalties of the law.
A white man who killed his son-in-
law for cruelty to his daughter would
not be punished, and Anthony Burgess
will doubtless be acquitted. His crime,
his flight, his arrest, his surrender, his
trial, are only incidents in case
which brings out in sharp outline the
relations between the races in the
South.

A long step has been taken in Chat

union of Methodism in America.
The Centenary Methodist Epis-

Methodist Episcopal Church North
ern branch) agreed to consolidate and
build one great church, and be one
people.
Both congregations are among the
strongest and most influential In
their respective branches of the de-
nomination.
A meeting of interest to American
j Methodism as a whole was held In
Chattanooga Thursday at noon. Twen-
ty-fve representatives of each branch
of the church discussed the future OF
Methodism, in frank, fraternal way.
Members of these two churches,
which separated in 1S45, on account
of political and ecclesiastical differ
ences, declared themselves one in
spirit, and, while recognizing loyalty
to their respective denominations, ev-
cry speaker showed himself in favor
OF g. reunion of the Methodist femily
in America. John A. Patten and Blsh-
op William Anderson, both members
of the committee on organic union,
participated in the discussion. John
H. Race, president of Chattanooga
University, made strong appeal for
union.
The Joint conference committee of
the two Chattanooga churches, COM
posed of representatives from the
First Methodist Episcopal Church and
from Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, after consideration OF
the returns of the two churches repre-
sented in the conference, reached the
following conclusions.
/. The two churches are planted In
proximity to each other, each repre-
senting it's respective branch of the
denomination, and each undertaking
to occupy the most advantageous po-
sition for serving it's own constituency.
They have grown side by side in num-
bers, in influence and in strength, and
the fraternal relations between the
two have constantly grown and been
strengthened, until they have become
one in spirit.
