Saucy as she haa looked-. before to-day her spirit was evidently broken and she was willing for anything go Ing towards liberty. Her dress was is nnart as ver; the hat she wore was a jungle of green feathers and yellow flowers, her waist was light" green sham-stuff, her skirt was black sham, jnd about her neck she wore a brilliant dark green ribbon. The city la well rid of her, as a dlstracter both f taste and morals. Penitent Amos Caldwell alias George .laii, alias George Williams, went and obtained a cow, a small mule-headed i-ream-colored heifer, under false pre tences. for nothing, and sold her to a man for 115. The worst thing about t Is that both la deals were made In i cemetery, and the latter transaction was right in the presence of the corpse. He must stay In Jail or given $100 bond. The feature of the day was Lawyer Bill Roberts, who was again haled be fore the court for his besetting.... sin. ile said he was not Ruilty. The witness said that Hill had come iver to his place, hud gone to sleep and fallen through a window, to his great damage, to-wlt. In the sum of $2.f4, which Lawyer Bill paid out "of his awn Jeans. The lawyer was there In a red shirt. with a reed pipe stem protruding from his hip pocket, and his face florid mid hair and beard frousled. He hud taken Jt dose of laudanum, he admitted, the night before; and that morning two drinks of a concoction which 'harlotte doctors had recommend ed ; a grand mixture of prickly tsh in gin and burdock In whtakev. Stirred around and stirred all irp Like rum and 'lasses In a cun. Sometimes he liikes one, sometime? another of these Ingredients, according to convenience. This Is a simple cure for rheumatism. The recon1 -r looked with mercy upon Bill and let hjm-go ica to the woods. There Were one or two cases of Irunkenness of the ordinary tyue. There was heard, also, the story of. a right between a little negro and a fruit-stand Greek, who could not speak English. The latter stood there uncon- sclus of what was going on. The negro ad been getting roof tar fnm the Greek's fruit stand to chew.. and heiic" the row. The negro's mother spoke in his behalf. She suld he commonlv works at the pressing club and rides a wheel. The distance between the sad- lie and the "piddle" was greater than he length of hla Icrb, she suld, and he lad been compelled to sit on the rod ntil It has unfitted him for work. She ld he was In n turblc fix. Poor Grover Cleveland Davis was aken for loitering at the depot.

MrRae. of Laurlnburg, as here yesterday to attend the meet- ng of the cotton mill men. He Is a com bination cotton planter and manufact urer, producing on' his own plantation m Scotland county 150 bales of cotton year, and being the president of two nllla at Laurlnburg. In the course of an oft-hnnd talk which The Observer man had with him. esterday, he asked Mr. Mcltae which ay his hopes steered, in view of the high price of the raw staple and the low price of manufactured cotton. "I have no further Interest this year s a farmer," he said. "1 have already sold my crop for 12 cents, and whether otton goes up or down, its one to me personally. So my sympathies now arc 1th the mill people, In the hope that mill products will rise In price." Mr. Mcltae says he is the only farm er he knows of who has a negro tenant possessing a buggy horse. This old negro plows a mule and lets his horse stand up for night service. The calen dar does not furnish time enough for him to make a living and enjoy life. So he bas the habit of making up lost sleep behind the plow, which often xlg ags Into the cotton and unearths it. One day he went to sleep spreading guaho. Still another time he lay down In the Bhade of a box car at the end of the row and went to sleep with his head on the rail: this at a place where they were loading cantaloupes and whence the car might move at any la a statistical fact, he says, that more cotton is made per acre in Scot land county than in any other county in the South.; His authority Is Congress man It X, Page, who took the trouble to 'investigate.'. Crops there this year re very good, considering the scourge of hail and the wet season In July and August. Mr. Mnttae lives on his farm, several miles from Laurlnburg. " Colored Enlseopal Chsrck.
