boad in asse vion, boastful in big

man whose political pull had put
him into the sheriff's office as a dep

con i 'groo:r whe--e nothing had
been coue'ed lacking a card on the
door, d iving shingle nails into the
so:C b e.ist of a once bouyaot hope.
Wei', that was all there was to the
la:.e- and it wasn't much, surely
an idle lessoa learned at lazy noon
but what followed was au experi
ence. I set out upon a stroll dowu
through the cypress districts of west
Tennessee. Tbe weather was charm

poui.'g down a week later, and ro

and I tumbled out, stunned, scared
half 1o dccth, and took to my heels
across a meadow,
Sojie one cried stop, and then a
gun went off. 1 stopped,, and a man
ran up aud arrested me. Lightning
had set the barn on fire aud of course
I was accused of iL I went with j
the maw and stood near while he
swore out a warrant for my arrest
and then acknowledged that I was
aware that I was in custody. By
this time a number of furious
citizens had arrived, and I began to
fear less they might not wait for the
slow processes of the law. My expe
rience with the daily newspaper had
taught me something of legal pro-
cedure, and I asked the justice if I
might have a change of venue.
"Yy'hat's that?" he asked.
"Thank you for a change of ven--ue,"
said I.
This set them all a-laughing. I
had never asked for such a thing be
fore and did not know the exact word
ing. I felt sure that I conldn'tmiss
it if I were only polite. But I did
miss it and they poked merciless
jests at my ignorance.- After awhile
court was called to order, mirth was
put aside, and I was told that the
charge against me was exceedingly se
rious: that I must defend myself or
spend much of my future time in
prison. ;'I have but a very short
defense,"' said I. "The truth is that
I didn't set fire to the barn. I had
no matches about me, and I was too
wet when I went in there to set fire
to anything. The things were set on
fi-e by l:gu uing.
-We giant all that, yonr honor,"
replied the man who had taken the
prosecution of the case, 'but what
right had he in the barn? And
besides let him prove that the light

should keep out of barns."

"I certainly give that opinion, sir.

the prosecutor; "there is but little

them. Yon appear to be a young
man of promise, and this arraign
ment is exceedingly unfortunate
Have you anything to say?"
I had a great deal to say. I told
him that I had never heard of such
a law; that I had been brought up
almost under the shadow of the state
house; that I had wri tten jip "many
a police court,-- and that I didn't
believe I had more of an attraction
for lightning than any one else. -
He gravely shook his head. "You
perhaps did not know," said he, "that
what is law in this part of the state
may not be law in other parts. This
division of the state has a peculiar
local right, ceded to it at the time of
the Louisiana purchase." He had
me there, and I could say nothing
"We get many of our ideas from the
French, and while they may appear
ridiculous to the move Anglo-Saxon

but theve is no use arguing with
you. I may explain, however, that
persons anyicted under the scien
tific code are not sent to the regular
state penitentiary, but to a pnso,n
down on Bayou Loag. It is a rough
place, and I regret to see you go
there, but there is no need to express
sympathy."
"Before direct sentence is passeed,"
spoke up an old man who bad hither
to said nothing, "let us see if there
is not some way of saving this man.
There is among the old statues
which we were permitted to take
om the French a clause which
says that, when a man has been con
victed under the scientific code he
may be saved by some reputable
young woman, who shall come for
ward and offer to marry him. Now,
who knows of a woman who would
be likely to marry this maa?"
"We are obliged to job," declared
the prosecuting attorney, spring1 ag
to h;.s feet "We can. save him. I
know of a woman." He wrote a
note aud gave it to a boy. "Present
this to Miss Lily Mayfield," he said.
Lily! That wasn't bad. Be te: to
take a lilly in all her glory than to
toil in a prison, and so I waited. We
had not long to wait. "Here she is,"
said the prosecuting attorney. And
then there stepped into the room the

seen. A nightmave put upon its

A year laer I was in Nashville
The legislature was in session. One
evening ina street car I heard two
country representatives talking.- "Oh,
yes," said one of them, "old Bob is
full of revenge. You remember
that a newspaper roasted him for
something during the last session.
Well, sir, I'll tell you what he did.
the paper failed, you know, and one
of the fellers that had been connect
ed with it went out on a stroll, and,
he strolled down into old Bob'a
neighborhood. The fellow didn't
know Bob, but Bob knew him and?
saw him passing by and put up a job
on him. And luck came his way, for
the fellow went into a barn, and just
then the barn was struck by light
ning. I forget how they worked it'
but they arrested the fellow, who
was considerably a greenhorn, by the
way, and carried him through some
sort of a trial and pretended that
they were going to make him mar
ry a woman, but she wasu t a woman
but a man that had been fixed up
for the" occasion. Well, they say
that fellow skipped through the door
when he saw the thing that was te
be- his wife and ran a mile without
looking -back. Yes, old Bob is full

, 1T .
hastily. 1 he House did no such'
thing. It was distinctly and emphat
ically stated by all the speakers who
had anything to say in reference to
it, including Speaker Crisp and Hon.
W. L. Wilson, who had charge of the
House bill that the Senate bill was
not such a bill as the House desired,
but was accepted as the best that
could be secured at this time. They
could' have expressed their dissent
from the Senate bill in no more -emphatic
way' unless by rejecting it
entirely, the result of which would
have been to go before .th country
without any tariff legislation at all
and with the McKinley bill in full
force for time indefinite, for there is
no certainty that the Democrats will
control the next House of Represen
tatives, aad they ceai iily would not
they wentbefo.-e the con j try with
out any tariff bill. To have done so
would have been not only the cul
mination of stupidity, but from a
party standpoiat stticidal. The Dem
ocrats in Congress who differed from
the Senate bill saw th's a. id like sen
sible men decided to accept it.
As further evidence that they did
not eddorse the SeaaU- bi toe Dem
ocrats iu tne House proaiplly fol
lowed up their acceptance of it by
pasddg four separate bills pnii'ng
sugar, iroa ore and bituminous coal,

This fact aloee, if there had been no
other expression of dissent by the
House, would pn t to rest the asser
tion that it endorsed the Senate bill.
Itis a mistake, also, lo denounce
the Senate bi VI as n6 better than the
McKialey bill, for it is a decided
approvement on the McKinley bi1!,
and gives a reduction of duties wb;ch
radges all the wav from 10 to 100 per
ceat. A bill that does that is cer
tainly a gaiu to the peopie, and a
decided movement on the line of
tariff reduction. Wilmington Star.

Splendid Crop Prospects.
The crop prospect never was bet
ter than at present time. The corn
crop is unsually promising. The to
bacco is a good average, and the Ju
ly cotton crop is extra good. Some
of our farmers are finding out that
there is more money in sheep vhan
in cotton and tobacco. To raise them
costs so little it can scarcely be coun

' Comiig to the Front.
The activity of North Carolina iu
the manufacMU-rlog lice in recent
years is attracting general attention.
Along the railway lines in the Old
North State travelers seeateverv sta
tion one or mare new factories, and
the majority of these enterprises are
co;.ton .snflls, although-there . is, of
course, a fair, proportion of tobacco
factories. We do not believe that
any other form of development would
create a more i favorable impression.
Foreigners and Northerners alike are
surprised to see these unmistakable
evidences of material progress, and
they sound the praises of the State
long after they have crossed the bor
der line.
North Carolina is in "line with
Georgia in this regard. The people
of these two Slales have come to the
conclusion that the factory is the1
thiug. In every Southern community

The purely agricu'tnral era of the
South is a thing of the past. Now,
that our facuOives in Georg'a and
North Ca -oli ia are shipping their
prociucls io every quarter of the
globe, and ruaning oa fall time, and
even double iifme, during the dull

The Rep-Pops.
The Republican leaders who atten
ded the Pop-Kep convention at ltal
eigh have but one idea, but one rea
Bon for existence. They are besotted
with the 'thought that through a
combination with the Pops, they
may be ab.e !to get control of this
State's government, have a majority
in the Assembly and elect two Uni
ted States Senators. To do this they
are actually prepared to endorse the
Pop ticket with its two wicked Dem
ocrats, one Pop. and two Republi
cans. So evident is-the intention to
surrender principle for a possible
chance at the office! that it would
surprise no one to hear that the Re
publicans in State convention assem
bled had endorsed the administra
tion of President CJevelaod for
the sake of possibly securing the sup
port of his admi 'ers. The whole
move of the combiners is oue to dis
gust every decent man. The Demo
cratic party should like to be proud
of its enemies, but it is impossible
to regard this Pop.-Rep. side-show
with anything like respect. That
such a surrender of principle should
succeed in North Carolina is impos
sible. The Eep.-Pops. are nearer the
promised land now than they ever
will be again.
Stight Security.
The practical friendship is illus
trated by the following .necdote : A
gentleman had long been attached to
Cardinal Mazarra, aodmuch esteem
ed by that minister, but little assisted
q his finances by court favor, one
day told Mazari a of his many prom-
ses and bis dilatory performance,
The cardinal, who had a great regard
for the man and was unwilling to
lose bis friendship, patiently explain
ed to him the many demands made
upon a person in his. situation as
minister, and which it would be
politic to satisfy previous to other
requests, as Ithey were founded on
services done to tne state. "My
Lord," replied h;s compan-on, "all
the favor I expect at your hands is
this, that whenever we meet in pub
lic you will do me the honor to tap
me on the shoulder in an unreserved
manner." In two or three years the
friend of the cardinal became a
wealthy mail on the credit of the
minister s attentions to him; and
Mazarin used to laugh, together with
his confidant, at- the folly of the
world in granting their protection
to persons on such slight security.
