LONG COAL TRAIN.
Norfolk and Western Pulls 175 Cars
of Coal.

Bristol, Tenn, Jan. 27.-For sev-
eral months the Norfolk and West
ern and the Virginia Railways have
been vieing with each other in the
pulling of long coal trains. When
the Virginian hauled 10 loaded cars
with two locomotives, it was felt that
the record had been broken, but when
a week later the Norfolk and West
ern sent a train of $50 cars of coal
out of Page Hollow, in West Vir-
ginia, much comment was aroused.
But this record was surpassed last
week when the same company sent
a train forth from the same mines,
pulled by three locomotives, that
was made up of IT'S loaded cars. This
train was a mile and quarter in
length, and in passing through the
towns along it's route, crossings were
blocked from Is to 20 minutes, as
the speed had to be reduced within
the limits of incorporated towns.

Training a Lawyer.

In some cases counsel receive
answers to questions that they had
no business to put, which if not quite
to their liking, are what they justly
deserve. The following story OF
George Clarke, celebrated negro
minstrel, is a case in point. On one
occasion, when. examined as a wit
ness, he was severly interrogated by
a lawyer.
You are in the minstrel business,
l believer" inquired the lawyer.
''Yes, sir" replied the minstrel.
'Is not that a rather low call
ing?"
Il don't know but what it is, sir, y
replied the minstrel, "but it is so
much better than my fathers that I
am rather proud of it,
The lawyer fell into the trap.
What was your fathers calling?'
he inquired.
HE was a lawyer" replied Clarke,
in a tone that sent the whole court
into a roar of laughter as the discom-
fitted lawyer sat down.-Weekly Tel

GUN STOPS CATO BAKER.
Shot j. Nj. Pennington from Ambush
Last July.

Walterboro, Jan. 25.--Cato Baker,
who shot J. M. Pennington from am
bush at his residence below Green
Pond in July, was lodged in jail here
this afternoon in a serious condition,
having been shot while resisting ar
rest by Deputy Sheriff Lucas Padgett.
The negro was plowing for Mr..
Pennington, having persuaded him
to let him go back to work. Mr..
Pennington agreed and notified Sher-
if Owens, who sent Deputy Padgett
down this morning. He, in company
with Bert Drawdy, went to Mr.. Pen
nington's place and went into the
field where the negro and several
others were at work. Baker came
out to the end of the row where Mr..
Padgett and Mr.. Drawdy were talk
ing to Mr.. Pennington, presumably
selling him new kind of plow. The
negro suspected something and turn
ed to run, meanwhile drawing his
pistol. Deputy Padgett jerked up
his gun, which was in the buggy,
and shot the negro down. The gun
was loaded with buckshot and three
shot took effect, one just below the
ear, another in cheek and third in
shoulder.
DR.. Esdorn was called and states
that the negro is seriously shot. He
is in an unconscious condition, and is
under the influence of a stimulant.
He has not yet probed to find the
shot penetrating the brain. Baker
is considered a dangerous negro, and
had twice attempted Mr.. Penning-
tons life from ambush, shooting him
at night while seated on his back
porch. Since this time he has been
in hiding and only recently came out.

When the S. G.. G. I. is moved to
Greenwood from Edgefeld it will be
called the Bailey Military Institute
and will be strictly a boys school,
the co-educational feature being

The Spartanburg Journal says that
Harrison Ferguson, white man OF
Spartanburg, is preparing to sue Sen

of damages claimed is not known yet,
but it is rumored to be S25, 900.
Col. F. N. X. Bailey, president and
owner of the S. C. c. l., which insti-

Tuesday by the general assembly for
another term in the United States
Senate the legislature simply con-
firming the result of the primary
last summer, in which Senator Till
man defeated two opponents without
making a speech, yet his opponents
stumped the State. On Monday some
members of the Senate had some
thing to say about not voting for
Tillman because of his expressions
about railroad influences in the gen.
eral assembly, but when it came to
vote the senator received all the
votes. No doubt some members OF
the legislature would have liked to
have voted against Tillman but they
were afraid to.
