Judge Taft was bronzed with the
sun and the wind Of his favorite va

pink. His flashing eyes and the
health glow In his cheeks reflected
the enjoyment he obtains on the golf
links. His manner OF speaking was
easy. He did not waste words. He
spoke what was In his thoughts, but
went no further. His method was
systematic, calm, deliberate and col.
lected; his manner polite. reassuring
and neighborly without going beyond
the ordinary advances of the average
man. Judge Taft talked of the regu-

every day. He plays golf practically

Greenville News.
Henry Richardson, a true type Of
the ante-bellum negro, is resting at
city police headquarters with about
thirty bird shot beneath his skin as
the result of some "fowl" play on
Saturday night. Mr.. Jacob Sterns.
who lives on the outskirts of the citv
and who is great chicken fancier,
heard a noise in his fowl house on
Saturday night and, upon investiga-
tion, found "Uncle" Henry in his
back yard. The old darkey was oun
able to explain his presence and made
an effort to get away. In the scuffle
Mr.. Stern's shot gun went off and
peppered the ministerial old negro
with small bird shot. Mr.. Sterns
then held him until the police arriv-
ed.
"Uncle" Henry claims that he was
showing two white men the way to
Mr.. Sterns' house and that he became
mixed up in the dark and got into
the wrong path. Mr.. Sterns has
missed some of his chickens on a
number of occasions and had rugged
up burglar alarm from the chicken
house to his bedroom. On Saturday
night about II o'clock the alarm went
off but upon search nobody could he
found. 1t went off a second time
about an hour later and it was then
that the venerable old negro was
found in the vicinity of the fowl
house, the result being that he is now
unable to sit down with comfort.
"Uncle" Henry's feelings are high
ly mortified and he stoutly maintains
that he is innocent. He asked yes
terday morning that his people be
notified of his trouble. An officer
went to his home and told his family
the nature of his trouble. In reply
one of them said, "I'se done tole Hen.
ry long time ago bout stealing dem
fowls"
