Eighteen witnesses were examined, among them Hugh Beil, brother of Uriah and Sher- rill, but his testimony did not amount to anything. All the evidence intro- duced was an effort to prove an alibi for the Bell boys. Several character wit- nesses were put on the stand who said that Uriah and Sherrill had good char- acters and nothing had ever been brought against them before. ‘There was much in the evidence about what transpired the Sunday night following the murder and Thursday night of the week before the murder brought out in the effort to prove that Uriah was not present when the gang was conferring on Thursday night, and that he did not give Credle the store key on Sunday night. | Both sides are claiming that the oth- er side has failed to make out its case. Counsel for the defense say they have introduced good evidence of an alibi while the State thinks differently, and counsel for the State believe they have introduced evidence sutiicient to convict «| while the defense believes the contrary to be true. One of the witnesses for the Bells, C. C. Sparrow said he was in Dr. Smith- wick’s office the night of the murder, saw Uriah passing and hailed him. fhe, would tell it. Said he had never been | , .., out to stables at that hour before, but | “y he kept keys to barn and stables and . 4 always went out to lock up when he | ‘ame home. When asked if he would ae (ell a falsehood to save his brothers he PG said, “I don’t think I would, but if I x were placed in such circumstances I + might think differently.” “Bonner did eg not tell me he did not want Uriah in a $ the store, but said I could do the work eS without help.” > , Some other witnesses testified that aC Uriah was at the dance the week. be- a, fore. Three colored witnesses testified es that Dave Watson said he was near aC the Bells just before they were arrest- » s ed, but could not hear what they said. » H. H. and L. M.

Wallace Guilford said about dark on Sunday night he and Henry Bon- ner were going to Aurora, they ‘over- took Uriah, took him up and they were together all night except a few minutes when Uriah went off with his brother Hugh.’ Te said they guarded Bonner’s store that night and Uriah did not leave them but this one time. (Hugh's wife is a sister of this witness.) Henry Bonner testified to about the same facts as Guilford. Said they were sure Uriah did not leave them but could not say as to other parties who were there. They both stated that Hugh and Uriah went off to get a gun to carry to the store, and C.$. Dixon testified that they borrowed his gun. Hugh Bell testified that he and Uriah went after the gun and carried it to the store, then he Je‘t and went home an exw him no more until next morni.g He also stated that he saw Sherrill in | Bonner’s store the night of the murder jand asked him to go stay with him. Sherrill said he did not know as he was going ‘ to take medicine. came in while he was there. Os: cross Bonner examination he said when he first saw Sherrill after the latter was arrested it was in the hall and he did not say he could not prove where he was the night o the muider, “I might have said why did you not accept my invitation to stay with me that night?” In to the question he said he went home the night of the murder just after 11 o’clock, nd answer took off his shoes and was sitting in front of the fire, heard noise at the window like the blinds turn; ‘he went -otit, looked around, saw no one, came back and-gota lantern, went to the stables, cleaned them out, put saw dust: in them, aud returned and found his wife asleep.

A Califorma Sportsman Has Great Luck Hunting in a Vineyard. “JT wasout hunting quail in a big | vineyard near Santa Rosa, a few days ago,” remarked Superior Judge Dough- erty of Sonoma county, “and I got the finest bag of birds I ever shot in my life. When I first went into the vine- yard I thought I was shooting at tame quail, for. they wouldn’t fly until I came near stepping on them, and then they would wobble off through the air in the most erratic way. They would only fly a short distance till they would drop into a grapevine as if their wings had given out. “My dog kept bringing me hve qnail which I thought I wounded, but finally, when I had three dozen birds and jiad fired only about a dozen shots, I knew ‘there was something wrong somewhere, “Finally I came upon a quail lying on its back and kicking its feet in the air in the most peculiar way. I picked it up and found it uninjured, so far is I could see. Then I set it on its legs and it went staggering and floundering over the clods a few feet further till it fell on its back again and laying kick- ing helplessly. “Tor the first time it occurred to me that the quail drunk. ‘They had been feeding on the frost-bitten had fermented on the vines and were enjoying the wildest kind of ajag.

A member of the government was visiting the cther day at a hall in the neighborhood of Doncaster.

The Herald contained recently a brief account of a little Italian girl, 4 years cf age, dying from blood poisoning, which set in the day after her mother had pierced her ears. The Italian mother, in utter igno- rance of the jaws of health, drew a green thread through the holes which she had made in the child’s ears, to keep them open until the wounds healed. Inflammation sot in very socn after the operation. This occurrence brings properly on the tapis the subject of earrings and piercing theears. With aviewof ‘earning whetker there were many such cases on record, I secured the views of a surgeon whose practice for the past 25 years has been large- ly confined to women. He read the briof article before making any com- ment. Then, as he returned the pa- per, ho Said: “No, I have never known of death caused by the opera. tion before this one in The Herald. But I have seen a great many cased of agony and suffering, And I have never seen the operation done prop- erly by mothers or jewelers. In the first place, the ears are never, ex- cept by chance, pierced so that the earrings will hang or be held prop- arly. One runs in and the other out, asarule. One is often higher than the other. The lobe is pierced too high up or too low down. One hole is nearer the face than the other. “The danger of blood poisoning is not to be ignored as of no account because the operation is supposedly not a dangerous one. There is noth- ing right about this home surgery. The cleanest person, when it comes 4o asurgical operation, is, without proper scientific laving, medically unclean. if you could but know the extreme cautions that are taken in all well conducted hospitals! The operating surgeon will not allow any one to hand him a towel even, if such a one has not antiseptically prepared his hands to act as an as. sistant. All the instruments to be used have been cleansed. A woman takes a needle, any needle, and threads it with any thread. This thread may have been in her work basket months and months, lying next to otber spools of all eclors, | She woulki not think of wasirine hier own hands cr washing the ea to be penese A cork is taken out ¢¢ pottie, any bottle, without iuuuyht as to what is in the bottle or how long the cork has been exposed to the dust. This cork is placed under the lobo of the ear for the needle to strike against when it comes through. Inflammation and suppura. tion naturally result. ‘““Thave always insisted that the operation should be done by a sur. geon, and by one who will take the trouble to do if properly.”’ “But would not so slight an oper- ation be beneath the notice of a sur- geon, doctor?”’ ‘No; the rich can command these, and the poor could have it done at hospitals.” | “How about avearing earrings any- way? Are not earrings a relio of both barbarism and ancient Biblical slavery?” ““Tdo not think that women should wear earrings. Butso long as they will do it the ears should be proper- ly treated, so that the rings will hang gracefully and both alike. And, more important still, the danger should also be avoided. Wash the lobe of the ear with a disinfectant. Make it surgically clean. Uso a cut. ting needle. Pass it through the cen- ter of the lobe, and at right angles to it. Use silk thread prepared so that it is free from disease germs and will turn easily in thé hole, that the tissues may not be irritated,’’— New York Herald. Devil Worshipers.

Their particu- Rlaqe lar prophet is Lucifer, and they hold the name of satan in such venera. tion that they are struck with hor- ror when they hear Moslem or Chris. tian blaspheme it, and when one of. the Yezidi pronounces the name those who hear it are said to be bound to kill first the blasphemez, then themselves.

As I jogged along the sandy banks of the Poor fork of the Cumberland river, letting my horse take its own head, I caught up with the moun- taineer on a mule, also taking his time. ‘Good morning,'’ saysI. ‘‘It's a fine morying for riding.” ‘‘Mighty,’’ says he, ‘“‘ef y’ain’t rid- in a mule.”’ ¢ “T don’t know about that; some of the pleasantest rides I’ve had in mee ee — mene Me Sia back.” “That’s case yer didn’t have ter ride one only when yer wanted ter. Ef yer do it frum needcessity, it’s different.’’ “That one you’re on seems to be a pretty good one.” “ *Bout ez good ez @ mule ever gits ter be, I reckon,’’ he said in a tone indicating his lack of faith in the mule. ‘*What’s the matter with him?” ‘‘He’s got his notions.& . “What are they? Notions to kick the top rail off the fence?”’ _ “No; he ain’t much uv a kicker; he kinder ‘pears ter have a satisfied sort uv mind an takes things pret- ty much ez they come.” “Then what ails him?” ‘Well, I want ter git over on t’oth- er side uv the fork, an I can’t til] I git up here about two miles whar thar’s a boat, so’s I kin ride over in that.”’ ‘“Why don’t you ride him over?” “That's what I don’t like about him.” “Why?” ‘‘He’s a Baptis’ mule an I’ma Meth’dis’.”’ This was a poser and quite beyond my scope of comprehension. I had heard of religious prejudices, but they had never gone so far as to af- fect any other animal than man. “You will have to explain that point,” saysI. “It’s too far over for me.”’ ‘‘Well, it’s this a-way,’’ he said, with a short laugh. ‘Yer see, I got this critter from a Baptis’ preacher thet bad raised him from a cclt, an bed rid lim Zor seven ve'ls on cir. cuit, an wonldn’ta parted with him fer no price, only he wuz goin ter Miz- zoury an couldn't take the mule along. He wasa power ter work, an the preacher used ter help out his wages lettin the mule ter people when he wuzn’t ridin him. That’s how I come ter git him. Well, the preacher never said nothin, an I never axed nothin, an the fust Sun- day atter I got him I rid off ter the Meth’dis’ meotin, never thinkin nothin. Abouta mile from the meet- in house I had ter ford the fork, an the water wuz purty deep that morn- in, but the mule knowed the way, an I jis’ let him have his head. An, by gum, he done it, fer when he got ter the deepest place he stopped squat’ in the crick, tucked his head, h’isted his heels an sent me kitin over his years inter the water whar it wuz four feet deep ef it wuza inch, an soused me clean outen sight.”’ “Did he run away?’’ I asked as the mountaineer paused a moment to think over it. “Nary arun,’’ he said. ‘‘WhenI come up, sneezin an a-snortin, he wuz waitin thar fer me ez quiet ez yer gran’mammy, an I got on an rid out. Yer see,” he concluded, ‘‘the dern mule knowed I wuz a Meth’- dis’, an ez he wuz a Baptis’, born an raised, he jis’ run his doctrine onter me an soused me all over when he had the chance. He's too good a mule ter kill, an ef he ever does that agin I’ll kill him shore. So’s not ter give him no temptation, I never try no more fordin with him,”— Washington Star. % Lincoln’s Postoffice Money. “While at Washington,’’ said Mr. Wanamaker, ‘‘it came under my notice at the postoffice department that Abraham Lincoln, in his early life, had been postmaster at 4 small Ohio town. Inthe changes that took place the office was consolidated with Salem, and the man _ twice “wanted for president was for once not wanted for postmaster. , “Voars afterward it was discover. |. ed that no settlement had reached Washington of the affairs of that little postoffice. A visit was made to Mr. Lincoln and the case stated. He rose from his desk and walked over to a chest of drawers and took out a bundle of papers, among them an envelope containing $17 and some cents, {le exact sum in identical money of the government safely in keeping untilcalled for.

Death of Bishop Haygood. In the death of Bishop Haygood one rpressed itself upon the religious and educational thought of his country in a lasting manner. He was an_ original thinker and a brave explorer. He was among the first presidents of Southern eolleges to obtain large gifts from wealthy Northern men. He brought Emory college into the front ranks. The young men he trained in college almost idolized him and he never lost the intellectual and moral mastery over them. | He was about the first great South’ erm preacher to understand the negro question. His book “The Brother in Black” was one of the most striking books of a generation—vigorous new broad and brave. It hada strong in-| fluence upon the leader ot thought in Georgia, impressing deeply and broad- ening the views ot such men as Henry Grady and Hoke Smith. This book made him a national figure, and gave him great influence throughout the en- tire country. As agent for the Slater fund he was instrumentalin doing great things for the education of the negro. He saw no solution of the negro out- side of his education and evangelization, and his speeches and writings created a healthy public sentiment that pervades the whole educational world. Asa Bishop, Dr. Haygood was among the first, but he brought more honor to the office than it pave. «| A‘great man and a leader in Israel a Co» ‘blood diseases scald head, etc., etc. excellent ; i kept standing, and gazing at the Clerk LI. those wishing Photographs will ‘Ado well te cali early as my time in Greenville is limited.
