THURSDAY, NOVEMBERS 1898
New York World : The last seven
presidential elections have been car
ried alternately, with the regularity of
a four year clock, by each of the two
great [political parties. The recoul
is:
1872 —Grant, republican.
Ig76—Tilden, democrat
1880—Girfieltl, republican.'
1884—Cleveland, democrat
1888—Harrison, republican
1892 —Cleveland, democrat
1896—McKinley, republican.
In 1900, according to the rule, the
president should again be a democrat.
Will history repeat itself aud who wil l
be the man?
Macon Telegraph: The principal
gaines made by the democrats in the
house were in the east and the men
elected in most cas, s were sound
money democrats. The sound mon
ey majority in the house wil be much
larger than the republican majority.

In Favor of a Cut.
At a conference held recently at
tli# executive mansion in Atlauta to
determine what was best to be done
about cutting the appropriations for
schools and pensions, Governor Can
dler expressed himself as follows:
“There was a Democratic candi
date for governor,” he said “who de
clared he would bankrupt the treas
ury before he would reduce the
school or pension fund. But there
was another candidate Jwho said he
had been a schoolboy and a school
teacher, and knew their needs and
conditiont, but he would not bank
rupt the treasury for the schools
sake. He had also been a soldier,
and was wounded, and was in favor
ot pensioning every old Confederate
that needed it, but yet he would not
bankrupt the treasury for th- 'd
soldier. lie would not do it be- ause
the old soldier would not auk it, and
it would not be right. It was this
latter candidate,” concluded the gov
ernor, “who was endorsed at the
poll i. I take my election as the ap
proval of lay people of the views 1
expressed, and therefore am ready
now to say that I am in favor of
cutting both the school fund and the
pensions rsthar than bankrupt the
treasury. The time has come to
assume the responsibility of such an
act, and lam willing to meet it. I
shall ask it of the legislature, and I
believe the people will uphold you in
your act when you do it.”

THE FIRST PENSION.
Granted by Uncle Sam On Ac
count of tlie Spanish War.
Commissioner Evans, of the pen
sion office, notified Secretary Alger
today jthat Jessee T. Gates, of the
Second United States artillery, who
had lost part of his npper lip in the
West Indian campaign, has been
awarded the first pension on account
of the Spanish war- The president
and the secretary of war each took
an interest in this case, Gates called
on them in person soon after the close
of the campaign and convinced them
of the merits of his claim.
Gates will receive sl7 p'*r month,
and this being inadequate, a private
pension bill, increasing the pension,
will probably be introduced in con
gress. Claims on account of the
Spanish war are now corning rapidly.
The total on file up to date is 1,947
for war service, and 178 for naval
service, exclusive of the claims of the
battleship Maine victims"
Was Tom Wooll'olk Innocent?
H. S- Young, a railroad man here,
has found among some plunder be
qeauthed to him by the negro Simon
Coopkr, who was lynched at Mays
ville, S. C , two years ]ago, a memo
randum book jeontaiuing detailed
acconnts of several mysterious mur
ders in Georgia and South 'Caro'ina,
one of them being the famous Wool
folk tragedy, near Macon, when nine
members were slain, only one, Tom
Woolfolk, escaping. He was the
oldest son, ane was; after two court
trials, hanged for the murder because
of circumstantial evidence against
him.
The South Carolina negro, in the
memorandum, says he killed the
Woolflk family and was especially
anxious to kill Tom. In [the last
line of the memorandum is the sen
tence; “Tom wns too slick for me
that night, but I’m even with him at
last-” This is supposed to refer to
Tern’s execution.
A great many people have always
believed Tom guiitless, and also that
his lawyer, John Rutherford, during
a teu hour speech in the court house
exclaimed; “I swear before Almighty
God I believe Torn 'Woolfoik did not
kill those people.”
In view ot these facts, and also the
circumstance that Mr. Young knows
the negro was about here during the
year in which the murder was com
mitted, the memorandum book will
cause a big sensation. The negro
was one of the most notorious crim
inals ever run to cover in the south.
He is known to have killed no less
than tea people besides the Wool
folk family. His dairy tallies almost
perfectly with Tom Wool folk’s ac
count of the murder of that family
He made his will before he killed the
South Carolina family, for which he
was lynched, and in il said he knew
he was going to, sooner or later, he
killed for his crimes and he wanted
