burned at Smith’s Station at I o’clock Sunday
morning. About five bales of cotton, 1(X» bushels
of cotton seed and a new wagon were consumed.
There was no insurance. There had been no fire
about the plnce for several days, and of course,
occurring at that hour, could not have been
other than the work of an incendiary. How to
protect our property from the night-prowling in
cendiary is getting to be. a serious question in

HKV. R. H. HARRIS.
Ho Beturnn fro* HU Vsoation and Preaches to a
barge Congregation.
Quite a large congregation greeted Hcv. Robt.
H. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist church, on
Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Harris had just re
turned from his summer vacation, and he looked
unusually fresh and vigorous. The subject and
text, as Mr. Harris said, were the same, and they
were composed of the one word “Sin.” Mr. Har
ris said that the belief that God had anything to
do with creating sin was a fallacy, as was
also the opinion that men per se were its origi
nators. He then entered into a logical and lucid
discussion of the origin of evil,',treating the sub
ject from a metaphysical standpoint. Mr. Harris
agroed with the orthodox theologian in dating
the origin of evil from the fall of the angels. Ho
demonstrated plainly that God was not respon
sible for sin, and that this fact did not conflict
with His attributes of omnipotence and om
niscience. He said sin was un essence or condi
tion of which men voluntarily availed themselves.
God’s grace rendered it unnecessary for man to
he a sinner. The preacher then used the illus
tration of a man w’ho inserts his linger into a jet
of flame. The fire possesses elements which
injure the man’s finger, and the man himself is
susceptible of suffering by the act. But the
burning is the effect of a cause
which the man himself created. Thus it is with
men who are undone by sin.
Bin is an effect, they themselves having fhr-
nished the cause. The entire sermon was clear,
terse, and clothed in diction of unusual purity.
It was listened to with the closest attention by
the entire congregation, and, no doubt, made a
deep impression.
The music at the First Baptist church on Hun
day morning was unusually fine. The two solos
sung by Misses Kehoc and Mason were very
solemn and sweet and were greatly enjoyed by the
large congregation.

A Supreme Court Derision.
Tlie Alabama supreme court has rendered a
a decision in the following case :
Lyon & Co. vs. Flournoy and Epping. From
Henry chancery court.
Stone, C. J.
1. A failing or insolvent debtor may lawfully
sell and trauster his property, at its* fair and
reasonable value, in absolute payment of a bona-
fide debt, though he thereby disables himself
to pay other creditors; and If no benefit ia
thereby reserved or secured to himself, they
cannot impeach the transaction, or inquire in
to his motive or intention in making it.
2. A conveyance absolute on its face, but in
tended oulv a) security for a loan, and accom
panied with a separate obligation to reconvey on
payment of the debt, being withheld from
record, and there being no change of possession,
is fraudulent and void as against existing credi
tors; but, to enable subsequent creditors to im
peach and set it aside, they must show actual
(as distinguished from construe ive\ fraud on the
part of the debtor, ami participation in that fraud
by the grantee.
3. The mere failure to have the conveyance re
corded until after the debtor had become insol
vent, a period of ten months, is uot sufficient to
show fraud on the part of the grantees, when it
appears that they resided in Georgia, uud they
testify' that they supposed they were allowed
twelve months within which to have it recorded;
though, if it were shown that the debtor, when
acknowledging the execution of the deed, at
tempted to conceal its contents, and that the
grantees had knowledge of that, fact, this would
possibly’ justify the court in holdiug them par
ticipants in his fraud.”

The Mysterious St railin'r.
Last night at midnight a man wandered into
the Rankin House rotunda, who had the appear
ance of being slightly daft. He could not pro*
nouuce a word plainly, and while it was evident
that lie was not under the influence of liquor, he
walked aud talked like oue in a dream. His
dress was course and soiled, and night clerk, John
Brazile, who is kind to rich and poor alike, as
sisted him to the door and advised him to go
home to bed. He said: “No bed, nowhere.”
very audibly. Two police officers weie at the
door, and one of them offered to take
him to the station house and
give him a bed and let him out in the
morning. He seemed to dread going away with
an officer, and said he would be a prisoner, and
couldn’t “get out to-morrow.” A rep n-ter for
the Enquirer-Sun who was Handing by, ad
vised him to go, and assured him that the officer
would let him out in the morning if lie promised
to do so. The strange man who had excited tlie
curiosity of quite a crowd, then took the reporter
aside and said : “I am wrong up here,” and he
passed liis hand rapidly across liis brain.
He continued: “My name is Fred Rjmainc; I
have wandered all over Florida for four months
| past. My home is in S . Louis, Mo. 1 have just
got to your city to-night. I don’t know where I
am going. I’ll tell you more to-morrow.” The
man had quite a sum of money on his person,
ami Mr.Charley Heyman, of the Rankin House
I bar,l\ad recommended film to the care ofthe police
in order that he might not be imposed on. After
I the reporter advised him to go with the police
| man, he went readily wiin a member of the force
who was waiting fm him in from of the door.
' Chief Palmer will know more about the mys-
! terious man this morning. It is < valent that lie

l that he is "crippled under the hat.”

| are never too busy to give information or show
j our goods, whether you buy or not. In the last
few days we have received a lot of the prettiest

trouble is experienced from the bristles coming
out of brushes. In the one we are off ering this
objection is obviated.
