The other night a policeman heard
fierce wrangling in the house of a colored
man on Calhoun street, and he knocked
on the door as a warning that he was
around. It was opetied by the man of
the house, who saw that his visitor was
an officer and explained :
"Dis hain't no fam'ly fight or nuffin'
of dat sort. We is sort o' rehcarsin' fur
a play dat is comin' off ut our cake walk."
"Oh, that's it? I thought I heard
you call your wife a fool."
"Dat in deplay, sab."
"And she called you a thief?"
"In de play, Bah."
"And you threatened to split her head
open."
" 'Zactly, sab all in de play."
He was standing in the open door, and
at that moment tt stick of wood hit him
in the back of the head aod keeled him
over, and he alighted on tho ground,
where he lay for half a minute without
motion. He was slowly struggling to
his foet when the officer queried :
"Was that in tho play, too?"
"N-no, sah not 'zactly," was tho re
ply, "but dat's some new bisnessjist work
ed in, I reckon!"

follows: "My dear boy, how are you?
Inclosed you will find u $20 bill.' But
I took good cara not to inclose the bill.
The result was that he wrote by the next
mail, complaining that the mouey had

TELL THE TRUTH.
The habit of overstating facts is be
coming a chronic fault of American
newspaper writers. Not only ore mole
hills magnified into mountains, but moun
tains are mieroscoped into molehills,
whpn it suits the purpose of the writer or
pariijritphi.it to make the change. A
trivial fault committed by one, whose
advertisement is regarded as inimical to
the sU'-cess of the political organization
to which we chance to belong is made to
appear, in the newspaper reports, as a
flagrant dereliction of duty; while on the
other hand, we labor assiduously to hide
from public view the real defections of
those who have by means, fair or fou',
secured nominations from the parly with
which we stand identified. The effect of
this is to niis'ead an honest public, and
ditceivo the voter who sincerely desires'
to cast his bal'ot in favor of the man
who will most wisely administer the
affairs of office.
But this habit of misrepresenting facts
is not confined to political centres. The
evil has become so firmly rooted that
the omit ordinary happening U misstated,
and the omnium occurri'iics of life nri
made to resemble the phenomenal. To
so great an extent has this practice been
carried that the reader of tho morning
piqir U left in ui'ubt h- lo n hclliei' tt'liut
has been narrated iu the news uolumus is
half or one fourth trua. Reporters five
their own coloring to th dispa turns
they seud, and in the haste and confu
sion tho editor has not time to verity
aud correct the messages. The desire to
get off something sensatioual leads to
misrepresentation and the reader is puz
zled to know what is the truth. Ex
change.

! ATLANTIC COAST LINE.
A LINK NOW BKING CONSTUCTED THAT
WILL MAKE IT THE SHORTEST LINE
FROM WASHINGTON TO AUGUSTA AND
OTHER POINTS.
A long article appeared in the Savan
nah News of the 2nd inst. in reference
to the plans and movements of the At
lantic Coast Line. Among other things,
it is stated that the A. C. L. desires to
to turn its passenger aud freight business
via the South Bound railroad, which the
Star learns from the highest official
sources is incorrect.
It is true, however, that the Atlantic
Coast Line intends to continue the ex
tension of the Manchester and Augusta
Railroad to Denmark, S. C, on its way
to Augusta. Twenty miles of this is
already built; there remains to construct
foriy-five miles.
At Denmark it will connect both with
the South Bound railroad and with the
South Carolina Railroad. The construc
tion of the road to Denmark will make
the Atlantic Coast Line the short li i
from Washington to Augusta, Macon,
and many other interior Georgia poin.. ,
using the fifty-six miles of the Sou;'
Carolina railro.id between. Denmark an
Augusta to reach Augusta.
The principal object of the construe
tion of this roid to Denmark by the At
lantio Coast Line is to reach Augusta.
A large amount of the freight business
done out of Florida to Northern points
by tho Coist Line now comes from the
lino of the Florida Central & Peninsula
railroad, which has leased the South
Bound railroad. The Atlantic Coast
Line, will, of course, be glad to receive
this business at Denmark, if it cannot
secure it elsewhere.
The distance from Florence to Den
mark will be one hundred and two miles,
exactly the same distance from Florence,
to Charleston.
It is expected (that the construction of
this road will be completed within twelve
months.
The article in the Savannah News
contains much 'gossip,' many guesses
and many inaccuracies. But the News
mayrestassuredthattho.se who direct
the destinies of the Atlantic Coast Lino
are wide awake and will spare no effort
to protect the interests of that great prop
erty iu the competition for both freight
aud passenger traffic.
STKANGE LIFE SENTENCE.
Did you ever hear of an animal being
sentenced to life imprisonment for mis
demeanor? It is uot likely that you
have. Daniel Click and wife., each near
ly a hundred years old, and their batchc
lor son, Jonathan, aged about 70, live
near Paint Rock, in tho Western part ot
ihis State. About seven years ago a
young dog belonging to the family killed
a chicken, which was contrary to the
peace and dignity of the State. Mrs.
Click found the dou guilty of murder in
the first decree, but finally changed the
sentence of death to life imprisonment.
Accordingly the dog was shut up in
an empty corn crib, where ho has re
mained up to the present time. Food
and water is furnished regularly and no
j,ailor iN more watchful of his prisoner
than the Cli :k family. Speaking of
strange characters, this isaimther remind
er of i lie fact that North Carolina is al
ways ahead.
