Every parson in the room turned his or her s eyes In the same direction. The rnem bare of that particular group looked i at each other and by the time Sheriff Wallace arrived to execute the court's sSorder two great, tall negroes had Ixrn i " Singled out and their followers wrre : -. pointing at them as good as to say j , "It lies between the two."

There !Was' no time for argument, or deliber ate thought. The suddenness of the attack had paralyzed their reason. "Did you whistle?" demanded the trourt with serious face and fierce j. . iRroloe. "No, sir." declared the bearded ne Rro. "No, sir." declared the other. "What?" asked the court. , "No, sir. It wusn't me." said the fcearded one. "No. sir; not me," said the other. "Well, don't you ever come In this eourt and make a noise like that." : earned Judge Bryan. "Go back now and behave yourselves." i.

The ' American Bibta Society Cele , brnUng Ita Ninetieth Anniversary This Year Interesting Facts "and Figures as to Its Growth and Work -Anniversary Meeting to bo Held ,sin Cliarlotte Jet Sunday ftignt. It Was fn MM that the American Bible , Society was organized, hence this is the ninetieth year of Its exist ence. and the .anniversary Wilt be throughout the world, for the Amerl can Bible Society baa done a great work, not only ' In its home land, - but It has reached to every mission-field as well. The , Bible Society is India penslble to the efficiency of mission work, for It prlnta the Bible in 1 oo languages and dialects, and furnish es it Jn many moie.It haa twelve agencies and these', cover nearly thfc entire missionary field, and it. ha cor respondents In more, than 30 "differ ent countries. Last year the Bible society furnished - to 'its own .agen cies and missionary societies for work In foreign lands books to the value of $29,859.73, and funds from all sources amounting to $189,406.02; these figures show there has been a decided forward movement for world wide distribution of the Scriptures. In the home land the Bible Society distributed the Ble among the des titute and unchurched classes, and to the Incoming immigration at the rate of about 1.000,000 copies a year. The society also, aids hundreds of mission Sunday schools in securing the Bible for use in church and Sun day school service. i. y The work of the society a"mong the colored people of the South is by no means its least Important work, and It carries this on successfully. The object of the American Bible Society is to distribute the Scripture without regard to seet or creed, and the total Issues last year, at home and in foreign lands were 1,831,096 copies. The American Bible Society is not rich and has been to a large degree supported by the legacies of benel'O lent men and women, but during the past few years there has been a falling oft of these legacies, yet the society has In nose nee curtailed its work, but It Is In need of money. It receives gifts, but does not hoard them and the assured Income from funds that must be kept invested by will of the donors, and from rentals, provides for only about one tenth of the work. The society does not tol erate wasteful or pauperizing distri bution of the Bible at home or abroad: It always requires as much of the cost of the book as the recipient can pay, but strives to let no one go without a copy of the Bible who really deserves It. even if he can pay nothing for it The work of the so- 2,7S8,39"0 For the second 25 volumes Issued years. 18,987,210 ; f"or the third 25 years, vol , lines Issued 32,478,138 " I,., tntu - t-.-i ollm In 7 years amounts to.. 72.670,783 The society Is In need of money to carry on t,he work more largely and successful y, and It Is the hope of the 'n-gfuilzatlon and of the Christian people In all countries that this an niversary year will Increase the spirit of liberality toward the society and thai It will receive many gifts during the year from sources that have not given to its support before, and in Iih renseii Kirts from t,hos who have given before. .

On the second day of February, ground hog day, the sun shone from the time It rose In the morning,' and the ground hog, or the end seat hog or any other old hog should have been satisfied, with the ehadow that he cast that day. Here for five day the weather has been so pretty; o ' fair and so fine that Col. Black bag longed, for Columbia, Congaree creek, a buckr et of bait and a hook and line. He has already cut a scallop In hh( garden and dropped a few seed In the ground. .Violets are out and the birds are sing- i Ing love songs: The ground hog Is a false prophet, a gay deceiver. If the pretty weather prevailed In ! Charlotte, and nowhere else, one might believe that the grouadhogship had fallen a victim to the thousand and one blind tigers, gotten gloriously drunk on the eventful day and been caught napping by the god Of good weather and slain, but Greensboro, where there are no blind tlges. Is In the fair bolt. The hog Is false and there is no pun ishment too great for him. He has fallen down. Exit the ground hog. POISONS Iff FOOD.
