A TRKEDY IN BLACKyiLLE, S. C.
An Old Feud Results in Death to Solomoi.
Bnun and John Gribbon.
CoLtJMBiA, S. C.—A bloody tragedy
was enacted in BlacTcville, S. 0., whero-
j liy SoJomon Brown and,Tohn Giibboii,
II dispeiiearj conr.taljle, were killed
! Tlie double killing was the result of an
I old feud between Gribbon and the in-
' fiueutial Brown family. Gribbon had
seized a case of dry goodH at the dei.ol
consigned to Brown.
I There was a gener^il fight, and
others engaged in it besides theprin
cipnls. Some contend that C'oronoT
H. P. Dyches, who -\vas standing in a
store at the lime, fired the thot that
killed young Brown. The coroner pro ■
ceeded to hold an inquest, hoivever,
but the thoriff arriTed in the midst of
it and arrested him on a charge of hav
ing been an acceesory. Trial Justice
Hammet then emiaunelled a jury and
took the testimony in relation to
Gribbou’s death. The verdict was that
he was killed by Hermaa Brown aod
that Simon and Isadore Brown w'ere
acccs'iories before and after the fact.

IT WASN'T HIS STILL.
He Just Happened to Be Picking His Chickens
By the Fire,
IjExisgton, N. C.—Deputy Collec
tors AVatson, Means and Causey laid
hands upon a blockade still about three
miles north of town. They found an
85 gallon still, about 100 gallons of
singlings and 1,000 gallons of beer,
the furnace in full blast, and a man,
with coat, hat and shoes oft', picking a
couj^le of chickens. His gun, wrap-
pe|l up in a blanket, was on the shed,
and he protested that he was not the
proprietor of the establishment and
knew nothing of it, but was out hunt
ing and thought he would fixbischick-
ens by the tire. The ofticers left him
and his chickens. It is thought that
some-natured fellow was trying tokeep
the price of whiskey down under the
uew law.

Plant Walnuts.
ANorfolkVa., man recently planted
500 black walnut trees on twenty-two
acres of land which were not capable of

trees he made this calculation: The
field cost $8.00, interest and taxes
$280; total $360. In thirteen years the
trees begin to bear nuts,in twenty years
the trees ought to bear $200 worth of
nuts, while at the end ^ ' fifty years,for
which time the interest .nd taxes are
estimat<!d, the trees should be large
enoiigh to cut 500 feet of lumber each,
or 2.50,000 feet, which, at $150 per
1000, would amount to $87,500. Here

State conventif'ii met herewith ninety-

Populiit State convention met here and
iiomioftted W'. H. Worth for State
treasurer, W. T. Faircloth for chief
justice of the supreme court and G.
Connor, D. M, Furchee, and Walter
Clark for associate justices. The con
test was over the nomination of an en
tire ticket for the purpose of fusion of
the Eepublican- and Populist parties
during this campaign. By a vote of
154 to 30 the convention nominated
this ticket. Tho intention is to fuse on
every office and only have one candi
date for each JiTice to be voted for.
The resolution oh silver is as follows:
“We favor a -f nancial policy not in
favorof mono metallism, either of gold
or silver, as the basis of a financial sys
tem, but international bimetallism to
be secured by strenuous efforts of the
national power to be directed against
such foreign nations as adhere to the
single gold standard. Under existing
conditions, with international agree
ment, we favor the free coinage of the
entire product of American mines at
the ratio of 16 to 1. Now, and in the
future, all dollars should be of equal
purchasing power, to the end that a
suitable currency, abundant for all
wants, shall secure to all the people the
full results of their labor.”

NORTH CAROLIN/l.
One of the Leading Papers of New England
Does the Old State Justice.
[Worcester, Mass., Spy.]
Many Northfvestern farmers have
become thoroughly tired of enduring
the trials to which their uncertain cli
mate subjects them, and are turning
their eyes toward the South as the land
of promise. A large number of Neva
da.stock farmer' anddairymen are pre
paring to move to North Carolina and
purchase farms'tn localities suited to
their avocations'. Within a few years
tlie immigration of farmers, dairymen,
poultry-raisers, orchard, small fruit
and vegetable cultivators from the
Northwest and from our New England
States will assume considerable pro
portions, and Piedmont and Western
North Carolina.will receive more of
them tlian all other sections of the
South combineii, for the people of that
State are movi- those of the North
than any other, and their laws and cus
toms are more like those to which
Northern people are wonted. Thereis
less gush and sentiment and more com
mon sense to the square yard in North
Carolina than in any State of “Dixie
land.” It is a better State for New
England men to go to who are tired
of life in their old home and long to
get amid new surroundings than any
of the newer States of the West, Wash
ington only excepted, and for men of
energy, brains aud money enough to
start with it offersgreat oppoitiinties.
4 Murder in the Breckinridge Campaign.
CiNCiNN'ATi.—The , Times-Star’s
Lexington, Ky., special says: A fight
to death with kuives occured in Clark
County, near Boonesboro, over the
scandal feature of the Ashland Con
gressional contest. John King, a
Breckinridge man, living in Fayette
County, met on the highway his old
friend, George Cook, who lives in Clrrk
County. Cook said any woman who
w'ent to hear Breckinridge speak was
no better than a courtesan. Ring dis
mounted from his horse, saying his
wife and daughters had heard Breck
inridge. Cook insisted itwasa shame.
He also dismounted. Both drew
knives and blood flowed freely until
Cook dropped, having three stabs in
the breast. King has escaped.

A WINSTON TRAGEOr.
A Negro Kills a White Man. The Homicide
Justifiable.
Winston, N. C.—Edward C. Bryan,
one of the managers of Griffith & Bo
hannon’s tobacco factory, met his death
Friday night.
The verdict of the coronor’s jury
Saturday was that the deceased came to
his death by a gun shot, fired by the
hand of Adam Morris, in defense of his
person and home. Morris was given
liis gun and set free. The gist of the
evidence by all witnesses was that
Bryan had been drinking and was rather
“wild.” He went to old man Morris’
house and demanded admittance, -n’hich
was repeatedly refused. The demands
were made in a very insolent and abu
sive manner. He declared that he
would burst open the door and kill
Morris with a yard paling which he car
ried in his hand. Bryan did break
open the door, rushed into the i‘oom and
received the fatal shot.
SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENTS.
A Democratic Ticket to Be Put Out Against
ihe Tillmanites and Butler Candidates
to Be Run in Every County.
Columbia, S. C.—At a meeting of
General Butler’s friends, held in this
city, it was determined to rnn an inde
pendent Democratic ticket against the
regular Democracy which is known as
the Tillmanites. Legislative tickets fa
vorable to Butler will be nominated in
every county, and it is probable that a
convention will be held to nominate a
full State ticket from Governor dois'n.
This action is arousing much bitter
ness, and the Democratic executive
committee, of which Senator Irby is
chairman, has been called to meet on
Tuesday next to consider the political
situation. When the Independent con
vention will be called has not been
decided. Eepublicans will take ad
vantage of the divided Democracy and
run candidates in most of the congres
sional districts.
Vi.imonils and JJIaiiioud-Ciillini!',
In the rough—that is, just as tho
stone has been w'ftshed out of the clay,
and broken loose from the ore—a dia
mond presents tl)o appearance of a
crystal pebble, somewhat pointed at
each end. It usually appears to ba of
a brownish hue, but now and again a
ray of light will seem to leap from tho
very heart of the stone. From this
rough form of the gem the diamond-
cutter decides what the shape of the
finished jewel is to be. Tho crs’stal-
line shape of the diamond is that of an
octahedron, although tho stone is
found sometimes as a rhombic dode
cahedron, , triakisoctahedron, or
hexakisoctahedron, bnt it is al
ways jn accordance with the cubic
Bys'iem. It should be the aim
of the diamond cutter to pre
serve this octahedral character of the
gem. To-accomplish this, the rough
stone is first split, or chipped. The
operation is a most difllcult one, re
quiring an insight into the character
of each individual stone. T'here are
hardly two gems that can be treated
in a precisely similar manner. Every
diamond has a thorough individuality,
and must be treated acctjrdingly, iti
order to obtain the best results. The
“splitting” is accomplished by fixing
the gem in a block of cement, after
■which the angles must bo split otT in
accordance with the direction of the
crystallization. Flaws are also taken
out in this operation, ani the diamond
given its future shape.
The majority of diamonds are found
in tho East Indies, on the plateau of
Dekhan, in Brzil, on the islands of
Borneo and Sumatra ; also in the Ural,
and Australia. AVithin recent years
very productive diamond-mines have
been put into operation in southeast'
ern Africa, the Transvaal.
The diamonds most highly prized are
the Indian and Brazilian stones; they
are generally of the purest white, tlie
most comijlete transparency “water,”
and the most hrilliant “iire.”—Home

Parties who have just returned from a

ties along the line of the Houston
Central, Arkansas & Northern Eailroad,
report that the cotton crop in those
sections has been damaged fully 20 ])er

caused by the excessive and continuous
rains. The outlook is not nearly so
bright as it was two weeks ago.

AN ICE CREAM FACTORY
MAKING THE COOI,ING OOMPOUND
BY MACHINEKY.
Things That Are Mixed Up for It and
IIoAv They Are Treated—Ice Cream
Bricks.
ICE CEEA'M is manufactured from
a combination of milk, pure
cream and gelatine, flavored with
different extracts, such as vanilla,
.lemon, strawberry, etc., the in
gredients being first mixed up to
gether and placed in circular metal
vessels or runners which revolve
around inside of circular wooden
tubs, the runners being surrounded
by a quantity of cracked ice and rook
salt. Each runner is furnished with
a beater having a number of blades
which revolve around on the inside,
beating up the material, the ice and
rook salt causing it to thicken and
form itself into ice cream. Some
manufacturers use eggs, corn starch,
etc., and boil the ingredients before
freezing.
The first process is the mixing to
gether of the ingredients. About
ten quarts of jiure cream, ten quarts
of milk and about eight pounds of
granulated sugar are first niixed to
gether. If the ice cream is to be
flavored with strawberry, about six to
eight drops of pure red coloring and
one-quarter pint of essence of straw
berry are added. A quantity of
gelatine dissolved in about a quart of
warm water is then added to this,
bringing the solution up to about
twenty-four quarts iu bulk. It is
then run through a strainer or fine
sieve into the runner.
The runners are made of copper,
the inside of which is coated with tin,
which, after about four weeks’ con
stant running, has to be renewed, tha
coating of tin being worn off by tha
working of the beater. The runners
are about twenty-three inches in height
and about one foot in diameter, and
hold about forty quarts. The wooden
tubs in which they revolve are two feet
four inches in height and are about
twenty inches in diameter on the in
side, leaving a space of about four
inches for the ice around the runner.
Attached to the top of the cover of
the runner and perpendicular shaft of
the beater, which revolves in a socket
at the top of the grinding machine, are
two gearing wheels, which are geared
to another attached to the shafting of
the machine. When the machine is
iu motion the beater, oontainiiig ten
Ij inch iron blades, and the runner
revolve around iu different directions,
making about fifty-five revolutions
per minute. As soon as the rfiachine
is set in motion, a small “' quantity of
ice and rook salt i^-adaed, which is re
newed every few moments until the
tub is filled, taking in all about twen
ty-five pounds of ice. The beating
operation takes about twelve minutes,
the salt and ice gradually freezing tha
twenty-four quarts solution, while tha
gelatine swells or raises the material
up to forty quarts.
The grinding operation is completed
when the ice cream shows or adheres
to the glass windows in the cover of
the runner. The wooden tub with the
runner of cream is then rolled to one
side and another is put in its place to
pass through the same operation. The
ice cream is then taken from the run
ners and put into cans ranging from
one to ten gallons each and packed
into ice and rock ealt for delivery,
which is ready in about two or threa
hours’ time.
The machine for breaking up ioa
consists of a revolving cylinder four
teen inches iu diameter and twenty
inches in length, riveted to which ara
nine conical-shaped wrought iron
teeth about five inches iu length,
which, when the machine is in motion,
pass between a number of other teeth
connected to the framework of the
machine. The cakes of ice, which
weigh about fifty pounds each, are
first broken into two pieces and placed
iu the machine. The teeth of the re
volving cylinder, which makes about
120 revolut.'.ons per minute, crash
through the ice, breaking it uji into
small pieces at the rata o£ a ton in
every twenty minutes.
Ice cream bricks are made by pack
ing the cream into metal forms. The.se
forms have a top aud bottom cover.
The ice cream is first put into these
brick shaped forms and a strip of paper
placed between the cream and each
cover, which holds them firmly in
place, aud then they are packed away
in salt .and ice aud frozen for about
three hours. They are then taken out
and the forms dipped into a pail of
warm water, which losens the cream
from the sides. The top and bott-jin
covers, after being- wiped with a cloth,
are then taken oti, the attendant al
lowing the loosened brick of cream to
slip out of the form on to a strip of
white paper immediately covering it,
aud placing it into a pasteboard box
and packed in ice again for delivery.
Neapolitan bricks of ice cream are
made by placing one layer of cream
over another, such as vanilla, choco.
late, strawberrs', etc. A great many
metal forms axe made of composition
of lead and zinc, representing animals,
fruits, vegetables, etc., the ice cream
being packed into the forms and frozen
in the same manner as the brick.s.
Porty-quart cans of milk cost whole
sale about $1,12 per can, pure cream
about seventeen cents per quart, and
ice about $3 per ton. Two machines,
■jrith three runners, can turn out from
1500 to 2000 quarts of ice cream per
day.—New York News.
