kiah’s conclusion.
Riah soused his grubbing hoe under an ag
gravating persimmon root, pried away rnedita- i
I tivelyfor a moment, then leaned upon the han
dle, while his forehead slowly wrinkled to its
bald summit.
“Wukin’ 'nd studyin’ don' gee sumliow,” ho
, at length said. ‘’Studyin’ all'ys git j upper
I han.”
i Then again lie pondered long and laboriously,
i “I’sc hat it now!” he exclaimed at last, slap-
I pi»g his thigh and spitting vigorously on ono
: hand as though about to fall to once more,
which, however, ho did not, but
slowly seated himself, letting the hoe
handle fail between his legs. “I’se
got de trick shore ernuff. Dars Parson Sayon
—lgorry!—es ho don’ marry ’em dar won’be
I no weddin’. Nary weddin’ will dar be onless
dat ar good ole Baptiss Brudder ties de dubble
bow knot fer June ’nd Cassus. L’wise now,
she’ll be for roarin’ 'nd pitchin’ long ob ’er no
count Mnfferdiss noshuns. She’ll up ’nd wan’
dat ar long sided Yelder obhern ter do de hitch
in’. Thass dess erbout w’at L’uise ’ll be for
, want’n ter hav done. But I yeck’n I’se boss
ob my yown shanty yit, es I is gittin ole ’nd
yeckless.”
‘•Want I babtized in the Chuckylucky creek
dess alter de wah? Hain’ I be’n a settin’ yun
der de drappins ob de unly true gospil ebber
senco? Is I gwine ter let my datter June git a
stummlo fus’ pass she mek’ ter sot up wif a
man all ter herse’f ? ’Nd sech a man ez dat ar
nigger Casshus ? Not bit w’at he’ll git erlong.
Oh, he'll wuk w!en he cam’ git nnttin yelse ter
do, but dnrr no mo' ’ligin erbout ’im dan a hog
has tedders. I didn’wan June ter tek’’im,
but she Tow’d she wild ennyliovv wedder I up
’nd tuk a boa’d to ’er ’er not.
“Juno’s dess like ’er daddv; she gotter head
ob ’er own ’nd tain’ no gou’d head nudder.”
liiali chuckled softly and rubbed his hand
leisurely up and down ids hoc handle.
“Den June, she um’kyiwr, dose so ez she
gits married, needer ’ll Casshus; dass all dey
want. L’uise kin say dess wa’t she pleases,
but Parson Sayon hab gotter do de job. I’ll
stop ober termorrer ’ml tell ’im weze got two
possums a fatnin’ ’cashnn, sides op’nin’a new
bank ob yaller yam taters tor sweet’n de meat.
I Parson Sayon, lie’s mons’ous sot on me; I kin
dess see dat. Didn’ lie say ter inc las’ Sun
| day was a week, ‘liiah’ ho sez. sez he, ‘Rab
bits 'nd baked possum ez w'at I natally hank
ers atter. Dey goes tegedder, ’nd deys like
elust commu’yum; yo’ cain’ nebber git enuff
on em.”
Soon after this Riah began to feel a “kin’ ob
goneness erbout de stummick.” He shoulder
ed his hoc, leaving the persimmon root still
unvanquished, and stepped over home to see
what “dem lazy women folks was a inittin on
fer dinner.”
11.
WHAT L’UISE DID ABOUT IT.
On the Sunday after Riah had come to tho
above conclusion concerning his daughter’s
marriage L’uise, his wife, was thrown into
groat perturbation when Elder Snifcap told
her that he was going home to dinner with
her after preaching was over. This was an un
precedented honor. She, had entertained sev
eral mere “circuit riders” on fried chicken and
Riah’s dubious looks and conversation before.
But to have a real “presidin’ yelder ob de Af
rican Meffodiss chu’ch” place his venerated
legs under her kitchen table was something to
at once inspire and alarm her. Pride was
gratified, the envy of less fortunate sisters
roused, and her own devotional leanings flat
tered- Riah, however, was the rock whereon
her pleasurable anticipations split. Yet
L’uise’s spirit was equal* to her avoirdupois,
i She weighed twe hundred, and had a tongue
I and a will to match.
“Es dat ar Babtiss ole man ob mine gits ter
spendin ins ’pinyuns dar’ll 'be a war in
dish you cabin alter do Yelder leebs.”
But every thing passed off smoothly. The
chickin was fried to a nicety. Riah held his
tongue, and was both civil and neutral. When
the elder stretched his legs in tho little porch
for a smoke and a chat, lie discreetly with
drew, leaving his wife to the uninterrupted
enjoyment of the pleasure so unexpectedly
vouchsafed.
“L’uise don’ bodder Parson Sayon.” Riah re
flected. “darfur I’se let ’ergit.’ers:itisfacshuns
oi’.tn ’er own preacher. P’sidin’ Yelder sonn’s
kin’ er big eb’n of lie is a Meifodiss. Yit, we’n
hit cunis ter mariyin’ dassernuddert’ing; dass
quite entirely ernudder t'ng. Jano know dat.
L’uise knew dat too. Meffodiss preaehin’ and
chickin frying kin sorter pass, but weddins hab
gotter lie Babtiss in dish yer famibly shoe.”
Tho elder and the sister talkedoi er the “big
meetin’ ” prospects, the plethora and stub
bornness of sinneis, Itiah'.i perversities and
whatnot. Finally L’uiee was encouraged by
the minister's hie.nd .sociability to express a
| hope that he would honor her house and the
I occasion by marrying her daughter
|on Christinas day. The good din
| ner and the after smoke were doing their
i perfect work. The elder, though non-coinmit
j tai at first, was very complacent. L’uise
, clinched her persuasions by saying:
I “Then ergin, yelder, dar’s ifuiieand Casshus,
I det ’s bof vvor'ly; ob, dry's nions’ous wor’ly:
I ’nd yit dey i-r.’t, so ter say, ez hardened ez
l theyinout git ter be. Dey's only kyurless.
| Now, es dey wuz r.holy jim d by dcr mudtier’s
1 p’sidin yelder—and .-Mi a yelder ez you it—
i don' yo’ sec, dey mout gitter he roused up ter
i a sense ch der lo ' t ondishun. Laus, yelder!
I to see yo’a staiiniii’darspang up before em’
j wif yer stpees cn’nd de Bible handy, a clarin’
I yore Croat ’nd.a rollin’ yore voice—why hit nd
I m.tlly skeer de debbil clean outen ’em. Hit
I sholy win!.”
I The elder suggested that Riah might prefer
I a flnpt'' I minister. L’uise fired up at once.
“I yeck’n dars sunipin yelse ter ’sider ’sides
; Riah in <!is yer hoive. I'm l:yar, 1 is: ’nd dat
' ar .June, she's my unlics’datttcr, she is. i’se
I pufleckly willin’ fer Kinh tor gitter hel.ben ho
. youn way es he kin. Es lie gii dar ’tall do,
lie’ll sholy bo h’isted in, roilerbydoscuff elide

t nebber fin’de wav darky hisse’f: but ez for
I .1 une, dass emudiler t'ing. I’se erblecze, tor
' hab my yown wav dar yelder. Riah er no Itiab.
I ’Nd Riah, ho drudder hab his head busted
I w’f a batflin stick dan stan' up fer his way
I w’on f sots my foot down.”
| L uise here brought down hor pedal oxtrem
| ity with a vim that jarnxl tlio house and caused
; the elder to edge hi:n'elf ti llttlo to one side.
' Then a broad .smile irradiated her shining
I black fare.
“But.” she continued, “we yain’ gwine ter
hab no trubble, 1 tells yo’. Nd yelder, I’se i
dess gwiiX’ter hole on ter yo twell yer givs :
i yore word fer ter marry’em. Why’dat or June j
I Ti.l < '.c Jois— d -y’d be de proudest' niggers! s
i ’N<l me, too. I’so dess natally hone atter it; I I
does fer a lac’.”
Elder Huil' ip finally convntefl, with a '
grandiose air, a- though the dispensing of serh i
favors—when lit.ally <!• i<Jcd on ivi.s t-m triv- i

a cradle'nd a soap kittle? Doesyo' ’eckin I’so
nnttin but a kyart ’nd a yoke ob steers, ’nd me
a j< stis ob de peace?”
The squire threw himself slightly upon his
official dignity, whatever that was: but. Cas
sinis was equal to the emergency. He slapped
Squire Jawdiuu on tho back and roared out in
laughter.
“Come, now, dass good! But you’ bain’
gwine ter pack all dem presen's erroun’. Yo’se
dess hab ter pint’Cm out’nd speeshify a I’i’l’

’nd yo’ sez hit all ober cz slick ez possum fat.”
This second mention of tho above delicacy
caused the squire's mouth to water perceptibly.
Then ho scratched his head and pondered.
Casshus put in a final argument.
“ 'Nd dars June, she up ’nd say ter me, say
she.'ain’ Squar’ Jandum gwine ter cum oronn’?
How I gwine ter git married doubt Squar’
Jandum?’ Dat dess p’cise w’at dat ar gal ax
fer.”
“Did liT June say dem worry words,
Casshus ?
“Hain’t I tollin’ yo’? Didn’ she sny, ‘how
kin 1 git orlong ’dout Squar’ Jandum? Hain’
Squar Jandum gwine ter show hisse’f ?”
“Yo’ hush, Casshus. I mo’n half b’lceb
yo’se liein. Yo’se got a mons’ous slick tongue,
yo’ lias, Casshus. Yo’ bain’ be’n my conster

But—yo’hyar me? Tain’obboy nigger w’at
I’d do ez much fer. No, sah I Tain’ ebbey
nigger, not by a long shot —shore.”
IV.
JUNE’S ACCOUNT OF IT.
“Dar now, Julyann, I don't feel so ficcty’nd
biggity alter all. Hyur I is, b’en married a
week, ’nd I yain b’en back homo yit. Oh
Laws! w’en 1 t’inks ob de time we alls had,
’nd de roarin ’nd do pitchin dar wuz, I har’ly
knows who lis or w’ats my yown name yit.”
“ ’nd dey dess natally roared did doy?’’ ask
ed Julyann, June’s bosom friend and confi
dent.
“Es I hadn’t er got sick long er yeat’n too’
much candy KrismusEeb, I'd a ben - ' dar shore.
But, tell me all erbout it now. I kaiu', Cass
hus. but den I kin call yo bun yit for a while,
I reck’n.”
“Well, yo’ see Julyann, my min’ wuz dat
bad 'fused up long er Casshus, ’nd do preach
ers ’nd pap ’nd mammy all a chargin’ det I
har’ly don’ know w’ore ter ’gin er ter leb off.
But fus’ ’nd fornus, w'en dey' all’s ’gun ter
come in I didn’t know no mo’ who wuz gwine
ter do de marryin dan do rest’did, ’nd dat
wuz sayin’ a heap. I’Tis’ pap, lie ketches me
by do yarin, he did. ’nd lie pulls tno off ’nd ho
sez, sez. he, ‘yo’ keep yore eye pulled for Parson
Sayon—yo’ hyur me?’ ‘I hyurs yo’ Pap,’ I soz.
Den mammy, she spreads herse’f eron’ ginner
ly, ’cd she ketches mo a fixin up my lia’r in de
kitchen,’nd she ’lows ter me, she do, ‘June,
linin’ I all’as be’n a good mudder to yo?’
‘Cou’so yo'has, I sez,’ml I’gin ter wonnera
bit. ‘Yore paps a Baptiss’ sez she. ‘He’s nut
tin’ but ano conn’ Baptiss,not bit w’at Baptiss
TI kin’er passw’enderain’ noMeffodiss eroun’.
Blit dish yer’e gotter be a Meffodiss weddin’
J une, she sez, a stonipin her foot a li’l’. ‘W’en
yo’ secs Yelder Snifcap a risin’ yo’ ’nd Casshus,
yo’ inns’ up ’nd face ’im. lie’H pull ye bof
(boo, ’nd I II sec to yore pap honey; ynss, I’ll
dess keep de ole num stret shore.’ Dass ’or
worry words Julyann, ’nd dey sot me ter study
ip’, ’nd I ax’er, I does ‘Mammy, spos’n pap
gits mad. He yain’ non too good ter natally
w’ar me out, es 1 is gwine ter git marrid; he’ll
dess erbout raise a rukus den ’nd dar; dass
w’at I t’ink.’ ‘Yo leeb Riah ’nd hts on’ry no
shuns ter me, yo’ ’nd Casshus bof, yo’ hyar?
Well, I’se sorter upset Julyann, but I finish my
ha’r, ’nd de gals dey buckle on my veil ’nil
primps dorso’ves.”
“Den Casshus, he coin’d in atter mammy
done went out. Grashus! I har’ly know do
nigger, he’s so pow’ful fine. Dar wuz his coa’
tails ahittin’ ’is knees, ’nd a plum red neck
tic, ’nd ’is lia’r fa’rly shinin’ wif b’arsgrease.
He up ’nd put his arm eroun me ’nd he smacks
me squar in domouf, ho do, ’nd he sez, sez he,
‘June, yo’ doss keep yore eye on me ’nd Squar
Jami, - ”i. He’ll be Santz Claws, ’nd he's gwine
ter bossde presen’s, 'nd he’s gwine ter do suttin
yelse yo’ ’nd me won’ forgit off’n our min’s all
de res’ ob our horn’d days. I yain' nudder
Babtiss nur Meffodiss, I yain’; 'nd yit I’se
gotter heed on u.y yown, ’nd tain’ no sheeps
head nnd ler.’ ”
“Weil. Julyann, I wuz dat bad pestered I
steps on my veil ’nd I busts a button clean
off Ti de back ob my dress. But dey fix me up,
deni gals did, nil in we marches, me ’nd
Casshus ’nd de res’ all a follerin’—inter de
front room we’re all de people wuz. D’reckly I
seed mat imy a seowlin at pap, ’nd dar wuz. I el
der Snifcap on one side ob de room ’nd Parson
Sayon a settin’ on do yudder,’nd bof kiner
frunnin’ nt each udder. Dar, ober ter one
side, waz a'.! do presen’s, ’nd ole Santa Claus,
wif a b'ar hide on, a grinnin’ thoo de head ob
hit ’nd a crackin’ jokes wif de niggers clust
eroun’’im. Dey wuz a hull hoodie ob folks
settin’ erbout and starin's ’nd hol’id der brofs,
’nd pap in one coTer a grillin' his tees.
"Weil, Julyann, dar wo all wuz’nd I dess
erbout to drop down, ’nd Casshus a w’isp’rin’
meter watch out for Santy Clauz, —wen pap,
he up ’nd sez, sez he: ‘ls yo’ alls yeady?’
Dm maniy she paces out on de floo’, ’nd she
Tows ‘dat do time hab arrove.’ Den she blar's
her eyes at pap, but pap, he dess grits his tees
all de. harder. Den dem two preachers, dey
boss rise up. Pan he Tows, kiirer quick like,
dat dish bein’ a good ole Babtiss weddin’, do
fnnrel ’ll ’gin longer Parson Sayon. ’nd de par
son, ho d ars bis t’roat. But shucks! Dey
didn’know mammy; she want a bit skeer'd.
She tu’ns to i elder Snipcap, she do,-’nd she
sez, sez. she: ‘Yelder, now is de time;
dish yers aMeffodiss weddin’ es I knows myse’f.
Hit ar diss w’at I tolo you’; so now, w’ilo all
de peoples keen still, yo’ tie dat ar knot.’ ”
“Bless you! I kep’ a gittin’ sheer’der ’nd
skeer’der. De folks, dey 'gins ter wonner 'nd
shako der heads;’nd Casshus, ho pinch my
yarrn ’nd Tow fer me ter luk dust fer Santy
Claw-:. Den bof de preachers, dey steps fowa’d.
’nd dey bof ’gins ter talk. Den dey stops ’nd
blar's der eyes at yeach udder, ’nd" dey sot in
ergin.
“Dis time dey raarsat ono ornnudder, Icebin
me’nd Casshus erlone, w’en, jits’ wo ktiows,
pap 'nd mammy, dey ’gins ter tek a hand’, ’nd
seeli snortin’go nebber seed. Dey hull room
den got intern rukus, ’nd I low’d ter Casshus
I’se gwine ter faint. I didn’ see no chance ter
git married in dat ar crowd : 'nd atter so much
iixin’ ’nd foolin', lilt wuz dess scan’lous ter see
de time a,slippin' by in dish yer style. Fo’
Gord ! Julyann. I wuz plain outdone.”
"Weil, hen,”exclaimed Julyannsympatliet
icaliy, “I nebber hymn de like: I shuiynebber
did. But w'at did yo’ ails do?”
“I didn'do unitin' cepn try ter keep Corn
faintin'. But Casshus, he pulls mo outer de

wuz a talkin’ der se'ves hoa'se, ’nd fus J

Claws way yup in de chimbley co’ner. ‘Yer*

‘Yo’ git ter work now, w'ile dey alls is a roarin:

“Weil, I kin er glim’sed w'at lie wuz atter,
'ntl I lowd, ‘hit dess ’served pup ’nd mammy

> New Yobk, December 17.—Mayor Hewitt
> received a letter which said that a house con
taining a barroom, a restaurant and a big hall
j had been given over to remarkable revelries;
j that a feature of the dances was the presence
of many young girls, whose costumes wore de
scribed os reprosensiblo; that at midnight tlio
doors were locked against intruders, even tho
I police, and a scene of wino drinking and eat
ing ensued ; and the writer added Hint, if his
i honor felt like interfering, he could send a ro
, spouse to a certain address, whereupon the
; establishment would bo pointed out. Mr.
’ Hewitt had lately boon ordering raids upon
dance houses, and the allegations here seemed
- to make out a case for action. So he wrote for
particulars, and got an explanation that it was
’ all a joke. The place meant was Delmonico’s,
. and the occasions were the threo resplendent
- debutante balls which have thus far this sea
, son agitated the most pretentious society. I
don’t get this news from tho mayor’s office,
t but from the perpetrators of the joke, a young
- lady friend of the Misses Hewitt, who hail bet
[ a pound of candy on tho success of her hoax.
. “But lam bound to say,” said Mr. Hewitt,
“that tho characteristics of a fashionable ball,
1 if copied exactly by unapproved people in
t condemned places, might demand official at
i tention.”
1 Fashionable women of benevolence ought
i not to be in the least discouraged by criticism,
. and it is with no idea of condemnation that 1
describe their newest whim. Ladies of the
) Vanderbilt family have magnificently endow
, ed a woman’s hospital, the Asters have done
’ thosame for a cancer hospital, and those
i notable examples have set others al work iu
- smaller ways of the same kind.
j But it is almost comical to see tho swell phil
anthropists eagerly searching for beneficiaries,
' they seem ambitious to sesnre the worst possi
i ble cases, and are downright proud when they.
, find something horrible or unique. At an as
s ternoon tea over cups of the fragrant, beverage,
I and accompanied by a dainty nibble of cake, I
; heard two wealthy matrons in this kind of a
dialogue:
> “Uh! I have discovered tho most, delightful
r subject you can imagine for my bed at the hos
-1 pital for the crippled and maimed—a boy with
s one leg like a J and the other like an S. They
- are going to straighten liiin out. and I expect
’ there will boa report in the medical journals.”
r "But you ought to see,” said the oilier, "tho
I frightful tumor that I have discovered over in
avenue Ato send to the Women’s Invalid
r Home. Is your tea sweet enough, my dear?”
> Good society has ono ballet dancer on tho
’ stage this week, and in a meretricious bur
: lesque, too. She is Bonfanti, and this is her
first emergence from retirement in about two
i years. In one of the discussions of tho Soro
, sis club, incidental to some topic set for debate,
r ono of the women members made an indiscreet
1 reference to a dansouso as a person outside tho
i pale of respectability. After a slight pause a
1 dignified and handsome old matron, one of tho
earliest members of Sorosis, arose ami began
s to speak. It was Mrs. Sophia Hoffman, of a
- swell family. She told hi simple, direct lan
guage apathetic story of the pure, true and
noble lift oi hor dead son’s widow, Bonfanti.
i This famous leader of the ballet, tho daugb
, ter-in-law of Sophia Hoffman, has been a re-
I spected member of the circle in which she
> moved, and her son, Sophia Hoffman's grand
child, is being educated ami roared iu tho most
approved style. Mrs. Hoffman made no cx-
i travaeant eulogy in the course of hor remarks,
and did not in the slightest degree show any
resentment at the offensive utterances of hor
associate member. When sho had finished her
simple defense of the woman and dancer
. there was not a dry eye in the room.
i The death of Mrs. John Jacob Astor and the
subsequent elevation of Mrs. William Astor
to the leadership of New York society, recalls
; the fact that this enormously wealthy family
lias in later generations becom • rather minx r
ous in its memliorship. Its told, in fact, upon
Society at large is due as nita-Ii In lay from its
i ramifications in various families as to the great
i wealth of tho original members. It is prob
ably safe t.> say that not one direi t member of
the Astor family, whether bearing the name or
not. is employed or associated with anyone who
is employed in earning a living by labor or
commcreial business. The Asters, since the
old furrier died and li ft hi.; business of export
ing and carrying In oilier hands, have devoti <1
their means, ami such energies as they chr se
to put into the business, into purchasing and
holding real estate. They are extensive buyers
ami rare sellers. The recognized head of the
family has been for years Air, John Jacob
Astor, the widower of the lady wiio lias just,
died. He is about sixty-seven years old, and
fairly well preserved. Such little business
activity as ho has permitted to himself during
thecourseof his life lie still maintains. This
means regular visits to bis office and the super
vision of its affairs to tho extent, at least,
of drawing his income and directing,
in a general way, its disbursement. He lives
on the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, in a house Hint is unpre
tentious in its external appearance, and partic
ularly modest in comparison with the marble
palace of She late Alexander Stewart, just
across the way. Mrs. William Astor
will become tho lender of New Y ork society.
The manner in which this lady is distinguished
from tho other Astors. is by the marking of
hor visiting cards, ami by Hie printing of her
name upon social invitation;, etc. The head
of Hio family is known sinipiy as “Airs. Astor,”
and any other Astor in the. family must place
her initial, or the given name of .her husband
before the word “Astor” upon her cards, or on
other social douments.
In certain ways, sho is better fitted than her
• sister-in-law was, to be the loader of Now York
society. Because ahe enjoys festivities much
more and is a more vivacious actor in them.
She has four living children. Her oldest
daughter, Mrs. James J. A'an Alon, has been
dead about six years. Her second daughter,
Helen, is now Air-. Roosevelt Roosevelt. This
gentleman of tho double name is an ideal
sj,e< in co of stalwart aristocracy, ami most of
his energies are devoted to the exercises of the
country club. He is of course a man of great
wealth and devotes no time to business.
The. third daughter in this family, for
merly Ati:-'. Augusta Astor, is now Mrs. t'olo
inaii Drayton. She has two children. The
daughter Helen,just referred to.has three. An
other daughter, Carry, is now Mrs. Orme Wil
son, ami the remaining child of this union Is
John Jacob Astor, Jr., who graduated recent
ly from H - *: vai d i oil, g- nod mai'c his first
plunge in A’-w York sv ety tins fall.
T'lie combined wealth of this remarkable
I family probably stands without a parall d in

WOOLFOLK’S HOPES.
Colonel Rutheiford Confident He
Will Get Another Trial.
HOWTHE MURDERER SPENDS MISTIME
In tlio dismal solitude of a cell in Fulton
county jail Fuin Wool folk quietly passes his
time sitting and reading an.l ruminating.
Shrinking from contact with tho malefactors
who arc his neighbors and partners in woo,
he is wrapped up in himself, and his thoughts
dwell upon his terrible crime, his cheerless
present and his awful future.
“Have you lost all hope, Tom ?’’ one of tho
turnkeys, in a tone of sympathy, asked tho
prisoner, as ho peered through tlio grating of
Ids cell.
“No; my lawyers tel! mo not to lose cour
age, but to hope for the best. This I try so
hard to do, but it’s not easy.’’
Colonel John C. Rutherford, the senior coun
sel for Woolfolk, spent several hours in the city
yesterday.
“I am really ro pressed for time,*’ Colonel
Rutliorford said, nervously, as the reporter as
sumed an interviewer’s attitude, “that I can
spare you but a few moments.
“You will, it js understood, appeal your
case to tho supreme court and ask for a new
trial. Is that true, colonel?”
“Unquestionably we shall take that course.’’
“Do you object to saying upon what grounds
you rest your hope of obtaining another trial ?”
“No, Ido not. Only the grounds uro so nu
merous that it would be hard for me to tell
you all of them. Tliat opr Client did not have
a fair trial is easily shown. We can abundant
ly establish the fact that several < f the jurors
who, when placed on their voir dire swore
that their minds wore without bias
and tiiat they had neither ex-
pressed . nor formed an opinin of
Woolfolk’s guilt or innocence, subsequently
confessed that previous to the trial they had
openly asserted’that Woolfolk ought‘to be
hanged. This admission has been made by
some of tho jurors since tho case was tried.
Other jurors have declared that they dared
not acquit the defendant; that, in their opin
ion, it would have been unsafe for them to
have voted ‘not guilty;’ that the chances are
they would have been mobbed had they re
turned a verdict of acquittal. These facts will
bo established to the satisfaction of tho court.
Another exceedingly strong ground—in fact,
so strong that if we had no other, would
ensure us a new trial—is the be
havior of tho mob in tho couithousoj
The mob that clamored for tho blood of tho
accused and cried: ’Hang him! hang him!’
This extraordinary demonstration during the
trial of the case had an overpowering elloct
upon the members of tho jury, and put the
defendant in a slate of trepidation, lie actu
ally was in constant dread lost the passion of
tho populace would gain uncontrollable sway
and wreak itself upon his hapless head. This
shows tho state of feeling in the courtroom.
Moreover, the presiding judge permitted these
unseemly outbursts to occur nnd his rebuke
took no stronger form than tho mere rapping
of the crowd to order, lie made no effort to
bring tho offenders to justice.”
“Foil will establish his innocence? I thought
it belonged to the state io prove his guilt?”
“It is incumbent upon the proMcution to
prove Iris guilt beyond a reasonaolo doubt.
Was this done in the trial at Macon? Most
assuredly not. Ng lawyer to whom 1 have
talked since I have been in your city has
ventured to say that Woolfolk’s guilt was
proved. No ; the state utterly failed to fix tho
crime upon Woolfolk, and the verdiet of con
demnation is not inconsistent with his inno
cence, for il was the crystalization of popular
prejudice, not the just, unbiased judgment of
twelve good and true men.”
“When will the supremo court hear your
mot ion ?”
“Some time in January, I think. There
will be a stay of execution till tho case is
heard.”
“There is one thing,” continued the lawyer,
“to which 1 wish to call your attention gnd
through you bring tho newspapers to a sense
of their duty. It was an unaccountable omis
sion on tb.e part of tho press of Macon and
other parts of Georgia to let pass without a
stern rebuke tho unheard-of demonstration of
the crowd in tho courtroom. It was an out
rageous proceeding on the part of that crowd.
The idea of a crowd, in the presence of a court
and jury, clamoring for tho life of a man on
trial for murder! I was astonished at the si
lence of the editors. Neither the Macon Tele
graph nor The Consti it HON had a word to
say editorially about this.
Tbo Despair of Science,
Rheumatism and Neuralgia, two remorseless
demons of hnmam suffering, have puzzled the
masters of medical science. Thoy are finally
agreed that the first is blood disease, and that
the second is an affection of the nerves, hor
their cure until recently the faculty prescribed
similar remedies. Principal reliance was placed
on external applications in both affections.
Lately several of,the most distinguished physi
cians of Philadelphia have prescribed nitro
glycerine to neuralgic patients.
Now. the dynamite, or nitro-glycerinc, treat
ment of the old-school faculty has not yet re
sulted in any cutes. Skeptical sufferers from
acute neuralgia or rheumatism, in the majori
ty of < as ( k, would prefer to have the dynamite
placed directly upon the affected part and ex
ploded promptly. Cures arc, alter ;»11, the vin
dication of a now departure in the healing art.
The Compound Oxygen treatment solves the
question as to the complete eradication of both
rheumatism and neuralgia from tlio system,
Dit. Starkey <fc PpJen, 1529 Arch street,’Phila
delphia., Pa., send a llome Treatment which
ean be used with perfect ease and safety at the
patient’s residence. The effects of tho Com
pound Oxygen are felt immedaiely; the sys
tem takes a new tone and life becomes full of
enjoyment again. A postal card sent to the
above address will secure an interesting pnm
phlete on the discovery, application amt cures
made by Compound Oxygen.
Fanning in South west Georgia.
It is a remarkable fact that some of our
K' uthweßt Georgia planters are so fir behind In
using t’ic best and most economical Implements on
their farms, that they are .still guilty of the extravu
gtince of having made, or buying a solid double

We must eat or we cannot live.
This we all know. But do we all
know that we die by eating? It is
said we dig our graves with our
teeth. How foolish this sounds.
Yet it is fearfully true. We areter
. rified at the approach of the cholera
and yellow fever, yet there is a dis
‘ case constantly at our doors and in
our houses far more dangerous and
destructive. Most people have in
their own stomachs a poison, mora
slow, but quite as fatal as the germs
of those maladies which sweep men
> into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epi
. demies. But it is a mercy that, if
we are watchful, we can tell when
. we are threatened. The following
i are among the symptoms, yet they
. do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor arc they always
the same in different cases. Thera
i is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad
. taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
■ seems as though the patient could
i not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishness of the mind; no ambition
i to study or work; more or less head
: ache and heaviness in the head;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
’ ed tongue; a sense of a load on the
! stomach that nothing removes; hot
1 and dry skin at times; yellow tinge
; in the eyes; scanty and high-colored
urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre
j quently attended by palpitation of
! the heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to be swimming in
the air before the eyes; a cough
with a greenish.colored expecto
ration; poor nights’ rest; a sticky
i slime about the teeth and gums;
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
■ up and costive. This disease has
puzzled the physicians and still puz
zles them. It is the commonest o
, ailments and yet the most compli
cated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
’ times as liver complaint, and then
, again as malaria and even heart dis
ease. But its real nature is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body—including
the nervous system —is literally
starved, even when there is no
emaciation to tell the sad story.
Experience has shown that there is
but one remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in all its, stages,
namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or
Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It
never fails, but, nevertheless,no time
should be lost in trying other so
called remedies, for they will do no
good. Get this great vegetable
preparation (discovered by a vener
able nurse whose name is a house
hold word in Germany) and be sure
to get the genuine article.
GIVEN L'l‘BY SEVEN DOCTORS.
Shaker Extract of Roots or Sei
gel’s Syrup has raised me to good
health after seven doctors had given
me up to die with consumption. So
writes R. F. Grace, Kirkmanville,
Todd county, Ky.
111. U Aim OF IT JUST IN TIME.
“I had been about given up to
die with dyspepsia when I first saw
the advertisement of Shaker Extract
of Roots or Seigel’s Syrup. After
using four bottles I was able to at
tend to my business as well as ever;
I know of several cases of chills and
fever that have been cured by it.”
So writes Mr. Thos. Pullum, of
Taylor, Geneva county, Ala.
WORTH TEN DOLLARS A BOTTLE.
Mr. Thomas P. Evans, of the firm
of Evans & Bro., Merchants, Horn
town, Accomack Co., Va„ writes
that he had been sick with digestive
disorders for many years and had
tried many physicians and medicines
without benefit. He began to use
Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s
Syrup about the Ist of Jan. 1887,
and was so much better in three
weeks that he considered himself
practically a well man. He adds:
“I have at this time one bottle on
hand, and if I could not get any
more I would not take a ten dollar
bill for it.”
