The Lancaster (S. C.,)

townsman, Jude Neal deals
with blind tigers. It said edi
torially in Saturday's issue:
"We like North Carolina's
way of dealing with blind ti
gers. At Newborn on Thurs
day four white men, convic
ted of selling liquor, were
sentenced to two years each
on the roads, and two blind
tiger negroes, were given 18
months each.

It begins to look as if
the legislature is preparing
to regulate about every thing
pretaining to the railroads.
Forty differentials have been
introduced so far to regulate
them, from the way a pas-

matter to over do these
things and the company
should be duly considered in
the making of laws for their
regulation. It is necessary
to have stringent laws for
the regulation of the service
given to the public by any
corporation, and especially

Mr. Peele a Conservative- Member
Jcfcn Carles McNeill Tells a Me on
v Him.
One of the popular younger Rep
retatives is Mr. .Jonathan Peele,
of Scotland County. lie is a
hail fellow well .jt, he is one of
the boys; hi tells a joke on every
body (emphas.izing.it with a
love-blow of his fist) and every
body tells a joke on him. One of
the first pieces of news told me
when I Ian !ed here was that Mr.
Peele, wneu some exciting meas
ure was under discussion in the
house, rose and stammered,
"Mum-um-um-um Mr. S s-s-s-"
but that-Mr. Justice recognized
another member before Mr. Peele
could get out the words, "Mr.
Speaker." This, however is only
a joke; Mr.. P ele's articulation is
perfect.
Mr. Peele is counted with the
conservativeelement. He has nick
named the public service corpor
ation cotnmitte the "Public Des
truction Committee," and one of
his most familiar jests is the
threat of introducing a resolu
tion to clean off an area in
tne sand hills to make room for
all the books and documents
which the railroads will bring to
the State in response to the de
mand in the list of quetions put
to them by the legislature. He
has put a great deal of study on
the enormous amount cf space
thtse book and documents will
occupy.
He has introduced several bills
of more than local interest, and
:n u is 4ocKet ne is now carrying
' lie which he is showing to the
nemhers in private. Its purpose
h to reduce the advantage which
Uefendant in capital indict
ments enjoys over the State, as
to the challenge of jurors. It will
be remembered tlua Mr. Parsons
of Richmond county, had a bill
of that purport, which failed of
passage. Charlotte Observer.

This Peculiar World.
This is a peculiar world says an
an exchange. One is struggling
for justice and another is fleeing
from it. One man is saving to
buy a house and another is try
ing to sell his for less than cost
to get rid of it. One man is
spending all the money he can
make in taking a girl to the show
and sending her flowers, with
hope of making her his wife,
while his neighbor is spending
what gold he has in potting a di
vorce. One man escapes with a
scratch and dies with whooping
cough. One man stands off his
creditors and goes travelling
while another pays his debts and
gtays at home.
