Hon. John Sherman Dies Full of
Years of Honor,
Washington,Oct. 22.—Hoft John
Sherman, former representative in
the house, for a long term a mem
ber of the senate and twice holding
cabinet positions, died at liis resi
dence in this city at a quarter be
fore 7 o’clock this morning in the
78th year of his age. His death
had been expected for some days
and loving friends gave him their
unremitting care and attention to
the end. The immediate cause of
death was described as brain ex
haustion incident to extreme
weakness due to old age and to
several' attacks of sickness from
which he had suffered for the past
year and a half. Since Saturday
afternoon, Mr. Sherman has been
most of the time unconscious, ral
lying partially at intervals, when
slight nourishment was given him.
Yesterday afternoon evidences of
the approaching end were mani
fest and he failed to regain con
sciousness after 3 o’clock passing
away peacefully just after dawn
broke. About 1 o’clock this morn
ing he rallied somewhat from the
stupor and turned himself over in
bed but after that he gradually
sank until the end came.

WILL END
THIS WEEK.
President MitchelPs Views on the
Strike-
WILL BE AT WORK AGAIN
By Next Monday-Several Large
Companies Post Notice of In
crease Till April Ist.
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 23. —Pres-
ident Mitchell’s statement in his
speech at Pottsville today that he
believed the strike would be ended
by next Monday if all the opera
tors posted notices guaranteeing
the 10 per cent, advance until April
Ist, was received here tonight with
much pleasure by the mine work
ers and the mine officials! It is
believed that nothing will now in
tervene to delay the ending of the
coutest which has run more than
five weeks.
President Mitchell was asked on
his arrival here from Pottsville to
night on what he based his belief
that the strike would end with this
week, but he declined to say any
thing other than the proposition of
the miners was so fair that he
could see no valid reason why the
operators should not accept. He
was much pleased when he learned
that the Delaware, Lack*wanna
and Western, the Delaware and
Hudson, the Lehgh and Wilkes
barre and the Hillside companies
had signified their willingness to
pay the 10 per cent, increase until
April 1 st.
A member of the national execu-,
tive board of the United Mine j
Workers of America and the offi- i
cers of the three anthracite dis- j
tricts will be here tomorrow for
the purpose, Mr. Mitchell says, of j
thoroughly canvassing the sitna-!
tion. He would not say whether !
the conference would take any j
positive action looking towards the
calling off of the strike. He said
he would not take the responsi
bility upon himself of calling off
the strike, but would rathei have
the national board vote upon the
question.
ALABAMA CENSUS-
Nearly 2,000.000 Population. In
crease 20.8 Per Cent.
Washington, Oct. 20. —The cen
sus bureau has made public the re
turnsof population in Alabama. The
population of the state *n 1900 is
1,828,607, as against 1,513 > n 1890,
representing an increase since 1890
of 315,680, or 20.S per cent. This
rate of inerease is slightly greater
than that for the decade
to 1890, when it was 19.8 per cent,
but somewhat less than that for
the decade from 187 1 to 1880, when
it was 26.6 per cent. From 1820 to
1030, the first decennial period in
the history of the state, its popula
tion increased 142 per cent, and in
the following decade 90.8 per cent,
but subsequently the rate of in
crease declined until the decade
from iB6O to 1870. when it .was
only 3.4 per cent.
The population of Alabama in
1900 is more than fourteen times
as large as the population given for
1820, the first census taken after its
organization as a state of 1819.

COTTON RATES-
Substitution Privileges Denied to
Cartersville Dealers.
For the past several years Car
tersville lias enjoyed what is known
as, “substitution privileges,” in
handling cotton, but recently the*
W. & A; R. R. for sonie cause un
known, has denied these privileges
and dealers are- forced to pay local
rates on cotton.
Beforethe substitution privileges
were granted Cartersville received
about three thousand bales ot cot
ton, and since these rates were
granted Caruirsviile has received
from ten to twelve thousand bales,
The dealers here have appealed
to the railroad commission to re
establish the rate and the case was
to have been heard on Tuesday,
but was postponed upon request
of the railroad people. •
Just why Cartersville should net
enjoy the same privileges in ship
ping cotton that Rome and Atlanta
have is a question which is left to
the railroad commission to decide,
and if it is not decided in favor of
Cartersville it will be hard to ex
plain to our people why these priv
iliges should be grauted to other
places and denied to the cotton
dealers of Cartersville.
Found Dead in a Pasture-
Charley Kincaid, a negro man
who lived on Capt. J. J. Conner’s
place about five miles from town,
was found dead in the pasture,
where he went to drire up the
cows, last Friday morning.
He was in Cartersville Thursday
evening and is said to have imbib
ed quite freely of corn whisky, and
remarked to some one as he left
town that he had to go home and
get up the cows. The cause of
his death is unknown.
