just the same and I'd have had my
nevvy out Of that buggy"
Didn't he say nothing about this
here order from the cot, Bob?"
There want much conversation,
squire. invited my nevvy to light
down, and then snaked Dave Blount
out over the wheel"
who struck the first blow"
"He did. He struck at me with his
buggy whip"
Squire Balaam removed his spec
tacles and leaned back in his chair.
Its the opinion of this here cot
that the whole question Of assault
rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the
order. Bob. Yancy swears he didn't
see 1t, while Dave Blount swears he
showed it to him. If Bob Yancy didn't
know Of the existence Of the order he
was clearly actin on the idea that
Blount was stealin' his nevvy, and he
done what any one would have done
under the circumstances. II, on the
other hand, he knowed of this order
from the cot, he was not only guilty
of assault, but he was guilty OF re-
sistin' an officer of the cot" The
squire paused impressively. His audi
ence drew long breath.
Can a body drap a word here?"
It was Uncle Sammy's thin voice that
cut into the silence.
Certainly, Uncle Sammy. This
here cot will always admire to listen
to you"
well, I'd like to say that 1 con.
der that Fayetteville cot mighty Of
ficious with j orders. This part OF
the county won't take nothin' Off
Fayetteville! We don't interfere with
Fayetteville, and blamed il we'll let

there was murmur Of approval.
Scratch Hill remembered the rifles in
its hands and took comfort.
THE Fayetteville cot air a higher
cot than this, Uncle Sammy" eX-
planned the squire indulgently. G.

"Air you finished, Uncle Sammy"
asked the squire l.. ierentially.
II low l am. But l low that If
this here ease is goin' again Bob

and not listen to no mo- foolishness.'
"Mr. Yancy will oblige this cot by

said the squire with dignity. Mr..
Yancy has sworn to one thing, Mr..
Blount to another Now the Yancys

They air an old family in the country,

CHAPTER Ill.
Trouble at Scratch Hill.

Captain Murrell had established
himself at Salaam's Cross Roads. He
was supposed to be interested in the
purchase of a plantation, and in COM
pany with Crenshaw visited the nu-
merous tracts of land which the mer-
chant owned; but though he professed
delight with the country, he was
plainly in no haste to become COM
mitted to any one Of the several prop
ositions Crenshaw was eager to sub
NIT.
The Barony would have suited
me-" he told Bladen one day. They
had just returned from an excursion
into the country and, were seated in
the lawyers 'office.
"You say your father was a friend
OF the old general's?" said Bhden.
Years ago, in the north-yes," an
sWered Murrell.
Murrell regarded the lawyer in ST.
lence for a moment out of his deeply
sunk eyes.
TOO bad about the boy" he said
at length slowly.
How do you mean, Captain"
asked Bladen.
II mean it's pity he has no one
except Tancy to look after him." said
Murrell; but Bladen showed no in
terest ard Murrell went on: HAS
Yancy any ,egal claim on the boy?"

COnYiCt'S Life Is
Enforced Slavery

Atlanta, Co., April 13.-"The
convict's life is enforced slavery.
His existence is one Of repression.
Every condition about him mill
tates against manhood. His one
dream is of home; and, in most in
stances, he has no home. He is q
slave without chance"
This is the impression Philip
Weltner, deputy solicitor general
of Fulton county, Drought back
today from two Gays spent as a
convict in the Campbell county
chaingang, for the purpose OF
studying the lot Of state prisoners.
He had no criticism to make
of the guards OF the warden. But
he said he found the system per-
.nicious. Instead of reducing crime,
it encourages criminal tendencies.
far from making men better, it
represses their good impulses and
stimulates their prompting to-
wards crime.
