WHY HE WENT TO PANAMA.

Here is story Senator Clapp heard
in Washington as told to a city off
cial:
Dick Wintersmith was a crony of
John G. Carlisle in Washington and
when President Cleveland made Car
Isle secretary of the treasury Wick
promptly asked his friend for job,
supplementing the request with let
ters from all his friends. Dick want
ed to go to Alaska.
Carlisle said he would look into
the matter, and IN a few days sent
Dick a present of a fine cane. 1t was
a pretty cane and valuable, but it had
a crook on it.
Two days later Wintersmith called
upon the secretary and thanked him
for the cane. "That is a fine cane you
sent me-" said he, "but I'll lose it
sure. / can't hook it over the railing
of bar and I'll sure forget it some
day."
That's So" Carlisle replied. "and
the way to keep it is to quit drinking"
Wintersmith went away and return
ed again within a few days and said:

WAS SHE KISSED, OR DID
SHE DO THE KISSING

Chicago, Ill.-Municipal Judge Wal
ker admitted his inability to decide
whether Mrs. Bertha Mcpherson, 4541
South Pauline street, was the victim
of the bestower of a kiss to one Sui
livan, whom she met at dance,
when her case, charging William Nc
Pherson with wife abandonment, came
up for final hearing.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Nc
Pherson acted foolishly," said the
judge. "She was indiscreet, but there
is a question as to how far she was
responsible"
Judge Walker finally decided that
Mcpherson was guilty of the charge
preferred against him. Friends of
Mrs. Mcpherson declared the verdict
was confirmation of her statement
that she was kissed in spite of her
self
The judge threw discredit on the
testimony of Mrs. Harriet lie Sage,
who said she was present at the time
of the incident in question, and that
Mrs. Mcpherson warmly recoprocat-
ed Sullivan's advances.
MIS-. LIE sage was eNlueHlly Il TlSn-
| ly prejudiced Witness" said the court,
'and she was almost as indiscreet as
Mrs. Mcpherson, herself. Neither OF
them had any business going home
from a dance with other men,
| Evidence given at the former hear
ing was to the effect that Mrs. lie
Sage reported the kissing incident tC
Mcpherson after she had had a fall
ing out with his wife. Mrs. McPher-
son was in Mason City, Iowa, at the
time. and her husband wrote her tha
they would have to separate.
Mrs. Mcpherson returned to Chi
cago at once to make an explanation
of the affair. This her husband re
fused to accept and she attempted t
take her life and that of her 6-year
old daughter Ethel that night.
During the trial Mrs, Mcpherson
charged that their trouble began be
cause of the fondness of her husban,

Don't regard Syrup of Figs as

you took enough of it. 1t is not harsh
like salts or cathartics. The help
which Syrup of Figs gives to a tor

is harmless, natural and gentle.

Killers Have Too Much Sheen.

hiilcfS HaNe 100 Much Sneep.
Sheep market was wobbly, accord
ing to an authority at North Portland
today. Killers have more stuff than
they need for present requirements
and holding at the yards would soon
eat up the stock. Some are offering
for resale quite a number of loads of
stuff and others are holding back
stuff in the country that they pur-
chased some time ago.
Prices are off fully soc from last
week and the trade is in a position
where killers can force sensational
declines if they are of that mind.
The movement of sheep and lambs
continues very heavy at North Port
land arrivals for the day being 134S
head, compared with 1896 yesterday
and 95S last Tuesday. A year .go
the run of mutton was go head.
At this time year ago considerable
weakness was showing in the mutton
trade at North Portland and prices

are puzzling their brains over

visor. He very evidently has
not travelled over our public

and I may safely add, previous
ly also. Before the heavy rains
came, the roads were already in
a most deplorable condition, and
|since, it would be hard to inn
agine the state they are in now,
certainly not passable. And
yet We thought we were endow-
ed with superior wisdom in elect
ing a supervisor that would en-
deavor to attend occasionally to
tie absolute needs essential for
safe travel, if Indifferent to
cater to our wants. For man
wants but little here below, nor
wants that little long. y

The Liberty Cotton Mills,

AS was stated last week this
mill was sold to Mr. J. NJ. Geer
the president of the Easley Cot,
ton Mill. Reliable information
received since the sale is that
the price paid was $4,000
which is about 100000 less
than the original cost.
Mr.. Geer, ii is understood
here, bought this property fol
the owners Of the Easley Cotton
mill, and it will be operated by
the same management.
Mr.. J. P. Carey went to An,
derson last Heek to prepare the
title and assist in making the
transfer of the property. 1t is
said the mill will resume oper.
alton at an early day and that
at least $25, 900 will be spent al
once in new machinery etc.
The prospects are that steps will
be taken to enlarge and increase
the output of the mill.
The people of Liberty are very
much gratihed that Mr.. Geer
has purchased this plant as he
is regarded as one of the best
mill men in the South and his
name is synonymous with sue:

Judge Jones to Speak.

The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy have secured a promise
from Judge Ira B Jones, can
didate for governor. to deliver
the annual address at the old
soldiers reunion at this place on
the 3rd day of June. Judge
Jones, besides being a gentle
man and scholar, is a speaker of
rare gifts. and all who attend
the reunion here this year will
be assured Of a great feast from
the lips of this brilliant man.
The Daughters will hold a
meeting this week at which
time final arrangements and a
program will be made for
the occasion. It is expected
that the largest crowd which
ever attended an old soldier
reunion at Pickens will be here
June 3rd. if the weather is good,
and it is earnestly hoped th.t
the day may be fair and bright.
The local chapter .. D. =.
will spare no pains to make this
one of the most pleasant of all
the reunions. The Pickens
Silver Cornet Band will furnish
the music.

No June Court.

The members of the bar held
a meeting last Friday and de-
cided that they would ask Judge
Prince to cali off the June term
of court for this county. This
action was taken on account of
the very busy time with the
farmers. There has been so
much rain this year that the
farmers need every day they
can get to catch them up with
their work, and two or three
DAYS about the first of June
would interfere very materially
with their farm work.
There is very little for trial
any way. Only one prisoner in
Jail, and he awaiting trial for
the shooting of Mr.. Cantrell at
Mr.. A. B. Talley's corn shuch-
ing last fall. The other cases
for trial are smaller misdemean-
or cases and the parties are out
on bond.
Resides the saving to the
farmers directly in not having
to attend court there will be a
saving Of at least $500. to the
tax PAYERS Of the county.
Clerk of Court Boggs has noti-
Judge Prince, who was to have
held the June cou. t beginning
Monday, June 3rd., of the ac-
ton of the bar and there will be
no court this summer.
And still there are some who
are mean enough to say there
is no good thing in the lawyer.

result to the great injury of the

Mr.. n. R. Kennemore, OF
near Six Mile, was here Monday.
and when asked for the news OF
his section, replied that he did
not know any, as he had just re-
turned from the reunion at
Macon. While there he visited
a former citizen of this county,
Mr.. J. Abe Stewart, whom he
reports to be doing well.
Several persons from this
county attended the Old soldiers
reunion at Macon and various
opinions were expressed about
the country. Some thought it
fine ard others said it looked SO
forsaken and poor that a crow
would have to take his rations
with him in some sections. We
have heard of none, however,
taking the Georgia fever. Pick
ems should be good enough for
any man.
The large congregation which
greeted Rev. J. G. Bailey at the

afternoon was richly rewarded

Bailey is a man of gifts, a fluent
speaker and splendid preacher,

ton should feel happy in secur-
