???????????????????????
u.
The couuty courtroom of St. Aune's
was crowded to the door. It was au
assemblage unprecedented even In that
country where a trial for murder al
ways exercised an irresistible fascina<
tion, and where the allurements of old
timo florid oratory conferred upon the
courthouse something of tho status of
a theater.
Never before within the memory of
those preseut had a whito woman cow*
ered under tho menace of a possible
capital sentence. Indeed, thore lurked
some trilling doubt as to the propriety
of the circurastanco now. It was not
that her guilt was questioned?in tho
popular judgment she was condemned
beyond all peradveuture?but with its
innato fantastic chivalry St. Anue's
was disposed to be compassionate, aud
to meet alien logic with tho sentiment
al reminder that she is ** a woman."
Tho crimo itself was as old as his
tory?the tragedy familiar to every
stage of life. In this instance its dra
matis personae were of the lowest type
?gross, iguorant aud debased. Jeuny
Haskell was the wayward wife?hor
husband Jim was the victim; and the
third figure was a handsome oyster
man knowu along the tide water dis
tricts as " Bill" Thome. It had been
a murder startling in its primitive bru
tality -and had acquired full-page
prominence in sensational Sunday pa
pers. The husband's brains had been
shot out one night while he lay asleep
by his wife's side.
? i.ere had been no doubt as tho id
entity of the murderer. The circum
stantial evidence was crushing and tu
aduition the widow herself had fran
tically denounced Tbome as hor hus
baad's slayer. His trial had been re
moved to the State metropolis and af
ter his sentence he had been taken to
its jail to await the day set for his
execution. The roasou for this was
purely prudential. St. Anne'B was
pitifully poor and there was a grow
ing dispositon to regard the expenses
of the court as excessive. Tho neigh
boring county of Mailborough had
averted the cost of a similar trial by a
quietly ordered lynching, and had
boasted of its thrift, and there had
been some warrant in the fear that the
example might prove contagious.
This had been three months before,
and the excitement had begun to sub
side, when n newsensatiou was created
by the arrest of Haskell's relict as an
accessory to tho murder, at tho in
stnuco of Willis Howard, the State's
attorney. Mr. Howard was a man of
praiseworthy political ambition aud
had achieved uo little notoriety by
reason of tho conviction of Thome.
He labored under the dual misfortune,
however, of not haviDg been born in
the county, and having inspired the
natives with ungenerous disposition to
associate his zealous activity with the
approaching nomination tor Congress.
It was the third day of the Haskell
trial and the interest was intense. An
indefinite rumor was abroad that the
State's attorney had a trump card to
play and a thrill of excitement swept
through the crowd as he aroBe to ad
dress the court.
He proposed, bo declared, to produce
a witness who would testify to the un
questioned guilt of the prisoner?to
her identification with the " fouleBt
deed recorded in tho criminal annals
of St. Anne's." Theu, as he turned
to where the woman?white, panic
Btricken and abject?crouched beside
her counsel, the whistle of an ap
proaching locomotive sounded shrilly
from across the river. The only train
scheduled for the day would not arrive
until night, and the coming of a speci
al was an event unparalleled. It was
like an ?? effect" in the melodrama and
the throng waited breathlessly.
In tho intense stillness every sound
without was audible?the rumbling of
the train; the Btoppage at the station;
and the ring of the footsteps on the
flags that led from the road to the
courthouse. An instant later there
was an agitation about the entrance,
and Thome, the convicted murderer,
guarded by the officials of the city jail,
crossed the threshold. Tho woman
uttered a half-suppressed shriek, and
the State's attorney smiled blandly.
" This iB my witness, your honor," he
explained, and then sonorously, "Call
William Thome."
The tension was acute as the man
took the stand. It was evident in the
agitation of the kiudly, patriarchal
jndge; in the feverish alertness of the
reporters; in the hungry interest of the
- country folk, and even in the un
linking gaze of the negroes who hung
over the rail at the rear in stolid beati
tudo. The prisoner was livid and
stared appealingly at the witness.
'-Judge," began the latter slowly,
" I've been doing a heap of thinking
over this business since I've been sen
tenced. It's laid heavy on my mind
and when I found it could be fixed up
so I could come and tell I was glad.
There was one reason in particular
why I was so glad." His eyes rested
upon the prisoner an instant as he
spoke. His look was steady and his
voice, while low, was perfectly dis
tinct. u She's told what she knew and
she's brought me where I am," he con
tinued. " She's done her duty and I'm
ready to do mine. A man's got a duty
even if he stands within the shadow
of the gallows." The woman's counsei
glanced up quickly here?the phrase
was distinctly suggostive of Howard's
rumbling periods.
" And I'm goiug to tell all I know,"
went on Thome, " and it's this." He
p;. led an instant and there was a
slight smile upon his face as he met
the gaze of the prosecutor. " Nobody
is guilty for the murder of Jim Has
kell hut me?and she's as innocent as
Mr. Howard himself."
The crowd was fairly stunned by
this unexpected declaration. That
anything less than an incriminating
disclosure was to follow had been un
dreamed of. All eyes instinctively
sought the State's attorney. That
officer was on his feet wild with dis
comfiture and rage.
"Do you mean to say," he had
furiously bogun, when his words were
lost as the voice of Thome rang through
the hail like a trumpet.
" It isn't what you expected, is it,
Mr. Lawyer Howard? You thought
because she told the truth about me
you'd get me here to maybe swear her
life away. And yon thought your
bribes would make me do it. Why,
jndge, this man offered me my life to
go back on her. He tojd me he oonld
handle the Governor like a child and
that he'd make him sign a pardon
if I'd say she put me up to do it. As
If twenty Uvea aod pardons could make
me do that." Then he turned toward
the jail offlcala. ? I am done," he
said, " wo might as well go back."
The assemblage wa? quiet for a rao
raont and then somcoue with a tluor
appreciation of dramatic effect than
decorum proposed three cheers andthe
hall rang with instant clamor. It was
an uproar too vast for the efforts of
the court officials to suppress. It was
the gloriQcation of what was regarded
as undoubted perjury and of a convict
ed murderer?but of one who had be
come, a hero because despite all bribes,
he bad shielded and screeued the
woman who bad betrayed him.
She did not even give him a glance
as he was led out. Her whole soul
was concentrated in the expression of
smiling iusolence with which she fa
vored tho outraged prosecutor. It was
a smile that later became a hadp o of
triumph as the twelve good men and
true dehvored the verdict of acquittal
that enabled her to leave the court
room?an Innocent Proclaimed. It
should bo added, however, that there
was a disposition to enlarge upon the
themo of ingratitude among the groups
that delayed to gossip in the courthouse
yard and that in the ovcujng the gentle
men of the jury called upon the vindi
cated widow and suggested the advisbi
lity of her prompt departure from St.
Anne's.
And two weeks later the county seat
again became a Mecca. It was the
day set for expiation, aud the natives
had begun to jog into town hours be
fore suuriso. There was something
more than mere morbid curiosity iu the
throng that clustered about tho little
jail yard, and swarmed over the hill
side at its rear, and the belief that
Thome in his last scene would prove
worthy of the prestige ho had earned
was full realized. It was a crowd that
lingered thoughtfully long after justice
had been done and that nodded ap
proviugly at an observation of the
sheriff's.
"Gentlemen," said that ollicer, " I
do not propose to deduce auy morals
on this sad occasion, but what I do In
tend?is to be present at the burial."
IT IS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
_
The Ijfttorutice Prevalent at
the North In Regard to the
South.
Mr. Wm P. Calhoun, of Greenville,
S. C, contributes the followiug timely
article to the Augusta Chronicle:
It is very uunoyiug to the people of
tho South to see how little our North
ern and Western people know about
us.
It is uot slrango that men living in
tho backwoods of the North aud West
should show ignorauce of the South
and its people; but, it surpasses hu
man understanding to account for the
want of knowledge, in some cases,
amounting to actual ignorance, among
well informed Northern and Western
men and newspapers. The Southern
press and Southern men know more of
the North aud West, as a rule, than
the latter know of the (ormer, and cau
write and Hpeak more intelligently of
Northern and Western men aud mat
ters. Yet, our well informed friends
and neighbors of the North aud West
assume a superiority over us that is
very amusing. They interfere in our
affairs and actually dictate to us. In
so doing they only too often show
their want of knowledge of the South.
Some of our Northern men and papers
can give about as good a descript ion
of tho South and its peoplo as the lit
tle boy did iu his composition about
the horse, which in substance was that
the horse was a very useful animal
with one leg at each corner, a tail on
one end and a head on tho other.
We are a useful people in some re
spects, it is admitted, but generally
speaking we are a lot of ignoi amuses
that have no idea how to conduct our
own affairs. The foregoing has boen
recently emphasized in the matter, of
the status of the negro at the South
and how wo ought to treat and man
age him, and in which great ignorance
as to the facts in the case are shown.
Our superior fellow citizens are at
times dogmatic and intolerant and
know tho facts better than we ao; and
they ask us to " toe " their mark. I
have come to the conclusion that most
Northern men and newspapers are in
need of a Southern man to direct
them, and each paper should provide
itself with an intelligent Southern man
in its sanctum to tell it something
about the South when its editor de
sires to direct or criticise us. In that
way so many evidences of want of
knowledge would not appear.
It seems incredible that ao intelli
gent man in New York, twentv-four
hours from Greenville, should be so
little informed about matters in South
Carolina and iu the South generally as
is some times the case. Last winter,
an intelligent mnu from Providence,
ft. 1., came to Greenville on his first
visit South. He came with a friend
who bad been South mnny times ami
knew our people aud our climate. He
stated to tho writer that he had had
trouble to make his friend bring an
overcoat with him, he claiming that he
knew all about the Southern climate
and that an overcoat would not be
needed. On reaching Greenville, that
wise man found the weather very cold,
and he was surprised beyond measure.
He thought that it wus all "summer"
here, lie had nevor dreamed that the
thermometer some times went down
to zero and even below. Ho wrote
that news back home as a great dis
covery just made by him in advanco of
all other exploreis. The fact that we
had deep snow hero was a wonderful
revelation to him. *
All aloug the line you will flnd the
same unaccountable ignorance on tbe
part of Northern and Western men
about the South.
Before the North and West under
take- to criticise and direct the South
and in order that they may write in
telligently of us, they must banish an
cient and preconceived ideas about the
South. A small amount of research
would put the North in possession of
the real truth. Now comes the Ogden
Educational league, full of good in
tentions and philanthropy, with a
scheme to spread education among tbe
benighted masses of the South regard
less of race -and color. The league
means well but its movements'show
that it baa no intelligent idea of the
situation as regards the two races. The
efforts of Mm league will do far more
harm tt*?u good by reason oi tho fact
that it does not know how to direct
its movements and efforts. Tbe league
should come here and study the situa
tion and consult with men conversant
with it,?men who would tell it plainly
that the Southern people will stomach
no scheme, however plausible, that
contemplates mixing tho Caucasian
and the negio in any way. If the
league understood the situation, it
would not have held a love feast at the
University of Georgia and then
straightway held another at Tnskegee,
the school of Booker Washington. In
stance after instance could be shown
on the above linos showing how little
our Northern and Western friends and
neighbors know of us and our affairs,
thoughts and Inclinations.
A. ROMANCE OF CALIFORNIA
General Sucrmuii'H Sweetheart
YVuitcd In Vain Upon Mis
Prow lue.
Monterey, once the capital of Cali
foruia, contains inauy ancient build
ings, adobe housos uud bits of history.
Overlooking the iutensely-blue bay is
the old Spanish custom house, with
the very flagstaff of| historical siguiti
canco. This building was origiually
erected by the Spanish, and afterwards
successively added to by Mexico and
the Uuited States. The building is
two story, with wide ovorhangiug
eavei, and its creamy-white plastered
walls contrast pleasantly with tho dull
red titles and mossy shingles of the
roof. There is a cool, shady porch
ruuuing along the front, where fisher
men are wout to mend their nets, or
lounge about smokiug or telliug yarns.
On a little back street is a tumble
down buildiug, very long and narrow,
with the old stage upon which Jeuuy
Liud saug iu 1851. Back amoug the
piucs is San Carlos Mission, built by
Juniporo Serra iu 1770, iu which may
he seen the church oruameuts and tho
priests' robes wrought in gold and sil
ver embroidery. These and mauy
other historic places could be mention
ed, but most interesting is the house
where Mercedes Castro was wooed by
Gen Shormau. More interesting be
cause she still lives her solitary life
behind tho high, whitewashed, tile
covered stone wall which shuts iu her
?ower garden from the street and the
eyes of the too curious.
Mauy years ago Mercedes Castro
was a happy and beautiful youug
Spauiah girl, tho hello of Monterey.
Gcu. Shermau was then a young man,
and he met Mercedes and quickly suc
cumbed to her chat in-i. Their wooing
was au ideal ouo. 11 er loving, trust
ing nature had implicit faith in him,
aud he worshiped at the shrlue of her
beauiy. On a certain evil day he was
ordered East, and wheu ho told her
they must part her heart was almost
hrokou. To somewhat lessen her grief
he planted a Binall Blip of rose bush,
known as tho Cloth of Gold, at the left
I of hor doorway, and, covering it with
earth, said: "When thin roso bush

Miss Minnie Hoover, Paris, 111.
Perhaps your mother
had thin hair, but that is
no reason why you must
go through life with half

with Ayer's Hair Vigor,
and make it rich, dark,

HOPELESS CASES*
'When the doctor leaves and say6 the
case ia hopeless, what remains to be
done t Nothing, if the doctor's word is
final. Much, it you will listen to the
statements of men and women who were
once "hopeless
cases " given up by
doctors, and who
were perfectly and
permanently cured
by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.
Nothing is more
sure than that
thousands of men
and women with
diseased 1 tings,
obstinate coughs,
hemorrhage, ema
ciation and night
Bweuts, have been
restored to perfect
health by the use
of the " Discov
ery." Will it cure
you ?
It has cured in
ninety-eight cases
out of every hun
dred where it was given a fair and fait ti
ful trial. By that record you have only
two chances iu a hundred of failure and
niuety-eight chances of being restored
to perfect health. It is worth trying.
Abrain l'reer, . ol K<>%kbi Idge, ('.ii < ih- Co.,

pleurisy and lung trouble; the doctors gave her
up to die. She commenced taking Dr. Plerce'a
Golden Medical Discovery and she began to
improve from the first dose, lly the time she
had taken eight or ten bottles she was cured,
aud it was the cause of a large amount being

Years passed, Urn liltlo roso slip

branches around tho latticed arbor.
Morcedus lived happily with her moth

sweethonrt. Always fond of flowers,
tho rose claimed her constant attention.
At lust sho thought she saw some
buds, and even with her careful watch-1

just as if they had been touched by
some of the sun's rays. Still she wait

How soon was her young heart made
to feel the pangs of sorrow, for ho in

(Jen. Sherman returned to Montoroy
when the rose bush bloomed, but he
brought with him his American wife.
Again years passed, Mercedes Caatro
was now a woman and devotod to hor
mother. Many suitors sought her
hand, but n?iio received her favor. At
last ciuiio one of her own race who hnd
a different aspect from tho others, and
ho loved her so long and so truly that
she almost relented, but decided to re
fer it to her mother. The elder lady,
not being desirous of losing hor daugh

vowed that so long as her mother lived
she would not marry. After the moth

entreaties, and the day for I heir wed

Gkkkn Tea at Fwkhurst.?A
Washington dispatch says that one of
the most notable discoveries of recent
years has just rewarded the efforts of
the Department of Agriculture. It is
a process of making green tea without
tho use of chemicals. When the leaf
is dried in the ordiuary way the oxygen
of the atmosphere unites with a natural
ferment iu the leaf aud turns it black.
To preserve the color of the leaf and
make a green tea two deadly poisons
aro usually employed. The new dis
covery is that by heating the leaves to
a high temperature the ferment i3
killed, oxygonatiou prevented, and the
gieen color of the leaf is retained.
Secretary Wilson shows some sam
ples of beautiful green tea grown in
South Caroliua and made by the new
process. As the problem of makiug
green tea without tho use of chemicals
has puzzled scientists and tea growers
for years, Mr. Wilsou is highly satis
liod with the success of his experi
ments. With the labor of the little
nc-gioes, the cheapest labor in the
world, lea is a very profitable crop in
South Carolina.
How'Hk Was Slukukd.?A West
oru exchange tells of the janitor of a

the trouble was, said: " Well, it's

beiu' slurred. If I ever found a pen
cil or anything elso in the school wbeu
l was Rweepiu' out I always gave it to
the principal; but just the same, the
teachers, or some one that's too mean
to face mo, gives me tho slur." " In
wbnt way?" asked the friend. "Well,
just this: A littlo while ago 1 saw
written on the hoard, 'Find tho com
mon multiple.' Well, I didu't say a
word, but 1 searched from gar rot to
cellar and I couldn't find the darn
thing. Well, agaiu last night, iu big
writin' on tho sapie board, it said,

says to myself, says 1, 'both them dam

Gentlemen: After a work of "25 years, I do not believe there
exinta a water that may l.e serviceable in all ailments, but I do
aay that While Stone Lithia Water has many remedial agents
which will cover the widest possible number of diseases that
mav ariae from kidney or uric acid causes, stomach or bowel
catarrh?which produces all the forms ol indigestion. The so
dreaded catarrh of the hoad and throat will be in many cases
helped by these sulphates. Hul it is in treatment of dropaical
conditions that I have found this water more beneficial than
any other water f have ever used, i would unbesi tatingly ren
ommend White Stone Lithia Water to my bea* practice for kid
ney, stomach, bladder nnd all forms of dropsical troubles.

watera among them Buffalo Lithia Water, Pate. Capon springs,
and Waukesha Bethcsda, having spent two months each sun)

While 1 was aomcwhat benelitled, i ean safely state that i
hud no comparison in the action of While Stone Lithia Wator.
for in it I find that they act powerfully on my kidneys, clesrini!
up the urine aud in thoroughly washing them out. when I drink
White Stone Lithia Wator in Bullicienl ipiaulilies. If what i
learned from my doctors is true about Hooding the kid nova

Uric Acid calculi <>r the fearful attacks of renal colic As long
as I can get it, will try no other water hut White Stone Lithia
