O’Fairell, had been a drummer on tbe road and knew bow far it was to Green wood, and knew that 353 miles was too much to pay for, as tbe witnesses could not have traveled that far in coming to Athens and returning to Greenwood. He knocked off 200 miles on each wit ness and settled with them on 156 miles, thus saving to tbe county over $40. If it bad not been for tbe watchfal- neos of our treasurer the county would have been fleeced. CALL AT ONCE At Banner Office and Get Your Clover Seed.

Tbe wound became very troublesome, necessitating tbe nee of dutches for very nesr'y one year. I am btppy to say I am almost entirely well.

I have also been troubled with partial sunstroke, but | Her Former Clerk Brings Suit r $ 10,000 Damages. Chicago, Oct. 28.—Mrs. J. W.

One day, without warning or cause, plaintiff found himself suddenly discharged from his position as clerk, and on going to Mrs. Touhey”s residence to inqnire into the matter was arrested at her door by a policeman, and at her request was locked up in an unpleasant cell. She, however, failed to appear to prosecute him, and he was discharged, with the. result that he sued for damages. The aspiring dry goods clerk, who is a middle-aged and slightly bald person, gave his testimony without embarrass ment. Mrs. Touhey, on the contrary, was very nervous, and sobbed repeatedly while in the witness chair. She said the first time sbe ever met Touhey, was when, fonr months after ber husband’s death, he stopped her as sbe passed him at his counter, and, reqnesting a mo ment’s conversation. Proposed to her then and there, add 9. an intimation that if she refused him it would mean bloodshed. She thought him crazy, and temporized, fearing to create a newspa per sensation. Touhy persistently-haunt ed the neighborhood of her home, and when arrested was attempting to break in the dodr. Encouraging lo Democrats.

Find ley, of Baltimore, the president’s cousin, and Mrs. Findley, Lieutenant Parker and Private Secretary Halford. The scene was striking beautiful. The chandeliers cast a flood of mellow light, the windows having been darkened. Several mantle pieces were banked with ferns and banked at each end by larger palms. Around the casket were grouped a great wealth of floral offerings through which the friends of Mr. Harrison, pres ent and absent, testified their apprecia tion of her worth while Hving ana their sorrow at her.death. They filled all the space on either side of tbe casket almost to the window on tbe east and the door into the corridor on the west, connecting the apartment with the private portion of the house.

Nearly all government departments . had been closed from 10 o’clock to noon, / and tbe crowds of employees gathered ' near the White Honse and on the steps of the treasury building to watch the procession pass along Pennsylvania ave nue. Hundreds more gathered on the sidewalks and nearly all the men doffed their hats as the hearse went by. It was a slow moving cortege, about two blocks in length, and took forty minutes to cover the dozen blocks bo- tween the White House and the station. At the station a very large, hut silent crowd awaited the presidential party on the platform, until the casket had been placed in Hie funeral car. The train left for Indianapolis at 1:40, - - Smir IT’S EXISTENCE PEOVEN. The Sister of Calvin S. Brice Will Be Married Neat Month.

An Unexpected Advance.* New York, Oct. 29.—The Liverpool market opened 2-64 higher and sales on spot were 8,000 bales.

The Cldeon’a Band Had a Real Ex istence—A Sensation In Carolina. Raleigh, N. C., October 28.—Demo cratic State Chairman Simmons tonight makes a complete exposure of the ex istence of “Gideon’s Band,” as a secret political order, and of the guilt of Otho Wilson, its head. He gives to the press a letter from J. H. Dunn, who is chair man of the Vance Company commission ers. « Dunn says Otho Wilson, now State Chairman of the Thiid party, initiated him into “Gideon’s Band,” at Morehead City in August oflaBtyear, while the State alliance was in session. Wilson then decided that the band had no political signifi cance. Dunn gives -the oath taken, which is a terrible one. Several per-' sons saw the Dunn initiation, among them L. N. Durham, third party nomi nee for secretary of state. The first suspicion aroused in Dunn’s mind that the band was being used in politics, was at Hendersons, when Mar ion Butler and Harry Skinner spoke there. Dunn then received aGidionite sign. At tbe alliance state conference, held at Raleigh last May, the night be fore the demooiatic state convention, Otho Wilson made a speech advocating the retirement of tfafe alliance delegates, when the state convention reached the election of delegates to the national democratic convention, Donn opposed thiB. Daring the discussion Wilson gave a Gideonite sign and a delegate touched Dunn. The latter retired with him and the delegate thereupon told him to oease opposition to Wilson. Dunn then saw the whole plot and at once sur rendered his papers to Wilson as grand Gideon. He sends Simmons a letter written him by Wilson, in August of last year, which shows Wilson’s guilt, Dnnn says he feels that he must break silence abont the Gideonites, and re veals wbat is a serious menace to the peace and good order of the people, and which la ruining the alliance cause.

It seems as if every Demo cratic leader is there helping out some friend, discussing the situation,or mak ing preparations to continue a lively campaign until Nov. 8. *.* The election of judges and solicitor* generals of tbe different circuits cornea up Monday morning and the races are narrowing down to the finish. The general impression is that among other elections,the success of Messrs.K.B.R us- sell and W. M. Howard, of this section is assured. Their opponents, Messrs. C. H. Brand and R, H. Lewis are hust ling for votes, but the tide seems to be against them. V It is generally remarked that this leg islature is one of the ablest bodies that ever sat within tbe halls of the State Capitol. Much good work is expected- of them. V Hon. W. J. Morton, of Clarke, moves around among the legislature like a veteran. The Colonel is one of the most popular members of the house. »*# Capt. W. D. O’Farrell, who has been in Atlanta for several days, returned last night. . A quiet rumor that is being circu lated around the hotel corridors is that Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, will be pre sented by his friends before the Dext General Assembly as a candidate for tbe Uuited States Senate to succeed Sena tor Colquitt. The name of Hon. F. G. DuBiguon is also mentioned quite prom inently. »*e~ Those who are in a position to know say that Hon. J. C. C. Black will be yond a doubt defeat Tom Watson on November 8th. The tenth district dem ocrats are especially confident of the result being favorable to Democracy. **# One of tbe closest races before the leg islature is that of Hon. Boykin Wright, of Richmond, and Hon. W. H. Davis, of Burke, for solicitor general of that cir cuit. #*• Senator EdwardB, of this distriot, is already moking a name for himself as a legislator. *** President’ Clay of the Senate, and Speaker Atkinson of the house, will announce their committees in a few days, 71,502 'OFFICIAL.
