all negroes on the hill to get married, j
There were hundred* of men and wo
men living together n# man and wtfe,
and aurh a thing ns a marriage befora
was unknown. One moinlng. however.
Green pasted a little notice which said
that every negro in the dlatrlrt would
have to marry. He to>d all the men to
bring their women to court within for
ty-eight hours, and he gave notice, too,
that punishment would come to all
who refused. At first the negroes were
paralyz'd 4>y the new order of thing*,
and they allowed signs of flight, but
Oreeu took his Winchester and a pair
of aix-ahootera, and went among the
moha, and told them that he was ruler
there. With him was a constable simi
larly aimed. When the negroes looked
upon the arms they were frightened,
and twenty-four couples were married
the first day, That night a pine coffin
was plai t'd at Judge Green's door. On
the coffin «vaa»a note telling Judge
Green that he had to quit the country
or be killed. The note was written In
red ink, and was signed hy ‘The com- |
i mltte*.’ To show how he regarded the
; threat Green kindled a fire with the
j coffin, and told his constable to go out
' and arrest ‘the commltte.’ The con
| stable found one member who squealed |
1 and It was easy work arresting the
gang. At court that morning Green
1 said, he would send every man up for
(life, but they began to beg and plead,
and told how much they loved and
honored and respected the court
" T want you to love and honor and
respect this court,’ said Judge Green,
•but 1 don’t want you to joke with it.
See? Now. you can go, but the next
time one of you happen In i’ll kill you.
| Before you go from here you've got to
! marry. Now call in your women.' and
1 In fifteen ralntites four members of the
death committee had been married. Thd
negroes were stunned by the starter.
The marriage work has continued, and
Judge Green says he has married more
than 500 couples up to date.
" ’This marrying business Is respon
sible for the change at the Hill,’ said
Judge Green to the Constitution corre
spondent last night, and T understand
it is being adopted in other sections of
the state, and especially in the lower
country, where so many negroes live, t
found by experience that a negro would j
fight sooner for his ‘woman’ than for
amendments, the hope of this state and
the southern 6tates generally for a re
turn of real ami lasting prosperity
rests wholly under a kind Providence
in the restoration to state hanks of
the right guaranteed by tbe constitu
tion of being banks of issue—the notes
being redeemable in the money of the
constitution. Our young men ought
to feel the deepest interest in this
question. Compared with the
young men of today are hampered
financially on every hand. In the fif
ties, If a young man had energy, busi
ness tael, sobriety —he did not lack
long for ihe other essential to a husi
ne*i career.”

Tbe Iron manufacturers of Pennsyl

dium of the National of
manufacturers to submit proposal* to
the government of Venezuela for an
iron graveyard in which to reinter 25.-

Iron Industries of this state, although
there are a few Iron cemeteries In
southern cities. The graveyards, par
ticularly in Caracas, heretofore have
been built of stone, but these have
proved unsatisfactory, and the Vene
zuelans have become tired of building
stone graveyards which have been
erected at great expense of marble and
granite. It Is believed that Iron will
answer every purpose. But it must bo
