entirely over the deck, and is not only
the heaviest of this season but perhaps
ol any previous season. ,

Catholic Jubilee Pantoral Letter from
Bihop Keane.
Pope Leo XIII having, as usual on
the ascension of a new Pope, proclaim
ed a jubilee, that is a plenary indul
gence to be gained upon the fulfillment
of certain conditions, in order to ol)
tain, by a union of prayer and good
works, the blessing of God upon his
pontificate and the light and grace of
the Holy Spirit for the proper discharge
of his arduous duties, Bishop Keane,
of Richmond, has issued a pastoral let
ter, which has been sent to the churches
under his charge, including those in
the vicariate of North Carolina, ex
plaining the conditions required for
gaining the indulgence, and giving
directions for the religious exercises.
It is required, first in cities where there
are three Catholic churches, to visit
each twice and recite there some prayer,
"for the prosperity and exaltation of
the Catholic church and the Apostolic
See; the extirpation of heresies and
the conversion of all who are in error;
the concord of Christian rulers ; the
peace and unity of all faithful people;
and the intentions of the Holy Father."
Where there is but one church, as here,
six visits are to be paid to that; where
there is none, the prayers are to be re
cited on six different days in families
or congregations. Secondly, to keep a
strict fast of one day ; thirdly, to receive
devoutly the Sacrament of Penance and
the Holy Eucharist, and fourthly, to
give some alms to the poor or in aid of
some pious work, as may be suggested
oy tiie piety ot each one. The bishou
directs that wherever a conference of
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul ex
ists, the alms deposited in the boxes be
entrusted to that society "to be by thein
distributed among the poor of their
ocality, without distinction of creed or
ondition. The time allowed for the
jubilee extends to Pentecost, June 5th.
Arresting- the Wrong Uan for Forgery
The city marshal received a telegram
day before yesterday afternoon from
the chief of police of Columbia, telling
nm to arrest a man who was expected
to arrive in this city on the evening
train, and who was charged with hav
ing committed a forgery on the Caro-
ina National Bank of Columbia. Arm
ed with the proper papers, the police
went to the depot, and on the arrival of
the train were informed by the conduc
tor that the man had been arrested and
taken from the train at Chester. Sub
sequently it was learned that the chief
of police of Chester had picked out the
wrong man, although he had a ieilow
who tilled the description : "dark clothes,
a heavy moustache, gray hair and a
Roman nose." The wrong man was
kept in the guard house from 4 o'clock
till 8 p. m. He came up to Charlotte as
soon as he got loose, and it turns out
that he is the advance agent of a sleight-
hand show, which is now giving an
exhibition in Columbia. He acknowl
edges to the crime of looking like an
other man, but says the right man was
sitting in the seat directly opposite him
when the arrest was maae. lie aouot-
ess watched the proceeding with no
little interest, and quietly slipped off
the train at the next station instead of
coming on to Charlotte, to which he had
also bought a ticket on taking tne train
at Columbia. The show man is some
what disgusted at the proceeding, but
his principal grievance is not that he
was wrongfully incarcerated in a sta
tion house and kept there several hours
without being told for what he was ar
rested, but that when he took the train
again he had to pay $2.00 to get to Char
lotte, when he already had a ticket on
the other train.
The allecred forger has not been heard
from since he left the train at the first
station this side ' of Chester, and will
probably never be heard from again,
being fully warned of the fate which
awaits him by that which the
show man met immediately under nis
nose.

I WISH to Inform all parties interested that I
have in operation on the plantation of Julius
Alexander a set of our Improved Horse Power for
ginning cotton. It has been tested and found to
reduce the draft one half, and I defy any party to
compete with us in light draft, durability, simplici
ty and cheapness. We also have a portable
Threshing Power which works on the same prin
ciple, which is equally as good as oe gin gearing.
I am prepared to sell territory for ' this machinery
and (speaking from experience alone) I can give
bargains where a man can treble his money the
first year. I have three years experience in this
business, and can give any party perfect satisfac
tion, by reference and testing before their own
eyes. I am stopping at the Charlotte Hotel,
where my models can be seen.
I will also run the gearing for parties Interested,
and flatter myself to say I can give satisfaction on
any and all points concerning my machinery.

I am never without lt at home or abroad. It Is
an antidote to Indigestion. Uneasiness after a
meal or purging Is checked and the bowels regula
ted. Its merits are attested by numbers of high
character. I have seen a " trted-ewrythlng " dys
peptic of fifteen years relieved bf one dose.
Rev. Dm. Jeter, Broaddus, Dickinson (Bap,)
It is endorsed by the direct personal testimony
of men of national fame and of strictness of
speech. It is not too much to say that no medicine
ever had such support in its favor as a specific.
The word of any one of the eminent divines who
underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia has deserved
weight Their united witness Joined with the ex
perimental use and approval of the preparation by
well-known physicians, removes all doubt It Is,
beyond question, a wonderful therapeutical agent
