is also star boarder at the castle
Of the eighteen negro prisoners held
there until recently fifteen have gone
out in the payment OF fines or under
bond. Many of these jailbirds were
taken out by farmers, who need their
services in the whitening cotton fields
and who paid the fines imposed IN
order to get the labor. This leaves
a total of only seven prisoners and
even this number may be decimated if
the three remaining negroes can be
admitted to bail.
Two of the four white men are I'M
der penitentiary sentences and can
not give bond, while the other two,
held upon murder charges, are alike
denied privilege of bond

Dickens the Fiumorlst.

Only the great humorists survive
their own day and generation. There
Ia nothing that fades so quickly a.
humor. What our grandfathers
laughed at is likely to seem very fat
to US. But the humor Of genius like
Dickens Is as fresh and stimulating
today as when he wrote his books
1t springs from his knowledge Of char
acter, and is founded on the universal
experiences OF life, and humor like
his does not die.
