TIIK IIINTON EASE.
'The attempt of Mr. Watson and
Candidate Wright to make campaign
material out of what is known as the
Hinton case—in which the governor
pardoned R. L. Hinton of Wilkes
county for murder—will bo apt to
prove a boomerang and recoil upon
their own heads. The populist speak
ers have ( hinged that Hinton was par
doned because ho was a democrat,
but ns it turns out he was a populist,
ns was all who were implicateTl in the
murder.
Hinton turned state’s evidence
against the others who were charged
with the murder of the negro, and it
was on tins ground that ho received a
pardon. Mr. Watson defended one of
the parties, and in his speech declared
he did not believe ti in ton knew any
thing about the murder; and yet,now
that the campaign is on, and it seems
to suit liis purpose, he at'aeks Gov
Atkinson for granting the pardon.
M. P. Reuse and F. H. Colly, who
were attorneys in the case, have writ
en a card in the ease, in which they
say that Mr. Watson had full no
tice of the application for Hinton's
pardon, he had all the facts of the tri
al before him, ho know that one of the
state’s council had promised to use
his endeavors in Hinton’s behalf if he
told the truth and aided in the con
viction of the guilty parties—and yet,
knowing all this. Mr. Watson made no
objection whatever to the pardon be
ing granted. It was not uu.il the cam
paign began that he thought the Gov
ernor had done such an awful thing.
The colored people of the state, as a
rule are going to vole for Governor
Atkinson—they know he has been a
true friend to their race and sought to
do them justice always. The Populist
speakers realize this fact, and hence
their puny attempts to draw oft'the
colored vot by these flimsy and base
less charges.—Svlvania Telephone.
Sam Jones says •'!( seems that fu
sion with vhe populist is Bryan’s 01 ly
chance. The outlook is not tirts c’a'S
for fusion. I believe the populist par
ty is the most iukomogenious, unmix
able auti-stick-together crowd iu
the universe. 1 would sooner attempt
to climb a ladder with an armful of
eels and get to the top with all of them
as to try to fuse anything with the
populist.”
H. W. I teed has tendered his resig
nation as president of National Bank
of Brunswick, and has joined Tom
Watson and proceeds with him to Pal
las. Texas, where Watson is to deliver
an address.

Govcrno Atkinson will not veto a
s . (e prohibition bill if passed by the
next general assembly. In hisspcech
delivered in Murray county Aug 12th.,
lie had the following to say in r ganl
to that point :
‘ It was a question for settlement by
representatives of the people, and not
a proper subject for the exercise of the
veto power. H the representatives of
the people saw tit to pass a prohibi
tion law which violated constitutional
•provision or existing law, then it
would not l>e p oper for an exercise of
veto power on he part of the Gover
nor.

In the September Review of Re
views the editors discusses the ditl'er
ent phases of the Presidential cam
paign—especially the revolt
of the gold standard Demoeratc,
the attitude of the attitude ol the Eas
tern wage-earners towards Mr. Bryan,
and the spread of tree silver doctrine
nmorig the fanners. Another impor
tant topic of discussion in the depart
ment of the “The Progress of the
World," is 1 >rd Saulsbury’s Venezue
lan proposition, iu connection with
the general scheme for a permanent
tribunal of arbitration. The editor
also covers most of the strikmg devel
opments of the month in British and
Eu opean pol'iies.
The Te.cea News has changed its size
and make-up, and explains itse.f
iu the following way : “We would like
to run a large paper in Toceoa tutt
cannot do it at :< continual loss. The
merchants here,with a few exceptions,
do no patronize the paper, and hence
forth Toceoa, like other towns of no
importance, be represented by ft paper

THE TALE OF TWO COiNS.
They Were In Jetf Xiavls’ Pos.-ension When
lia Wat* Captured.
General Nathan Church, the Mich
igan representative of tho quartet of
old staff officers, who rose from cap
tain to colonel of the famous Twen
ty-sixth Michigan, and then to as
sistant adjutant general and chief of
staff under General Miles, showed
with much pride while in Washing
ton a $5 goldpioce that has a won
derful history. When General
Church’s regiment was to ho mus
tered out in 18G5, General Miles re
quested tho war department to al
low him to rotain his chief of staff
in tho service, which requost was
granted, and for six months after his
regiment had gone homo and until
he declined to remain longer Gen
eral Church was with General Miles
at Fort Monroe, their principal duty
being to guard their distinguished
prisonor of war, Jefferson Davis.
When captured, Mr. Davis had in
his pocket the goldpioce in question
nnd a Mexican silver dollar. Gen
eral Church procured other similar
pieces and effected an exchange for
the two found in Mr. Davis’ pocket.
Ho retained tho goldpioce and gavo
the dollar to Major Black, tlio Da
kota member of tho four who were
present at the recent oxercisos, and
who had been his tent mate. A few
months thereafter Major Black was
showing his famous dollar at an
evening gathering, passing it from
ono to another, when it suddenly dis
appeared, and ho has over since
mourned for liis lost treasure.
General Church had bettor luck,
however, with liis goldpioce, and,
while ho occasionally’ exhibited it to
his friends, oarriod it us a much
prized pocket pioco for 25 years,
when he suddenly discovered that
ho had unintentionally paid it out
instead of another similar pieou of
money he carried with it, hut to
whom ho had not tho slightest recol
lection. Ho promptly directed tho
cashier of his bank to lay asido any
$5 gold pieces bearing tho date of
1857 that might pass through hia
hands in tho course of business,
thinking there might bo possibly
ono chance in a million that tho val
uable keepsake would some time
mako its appearance. Six weeks
afterward an old fanner dropped in
and made a small deposit, when tho
cashier said to Mr. Church, “Hero,
soo if that’s tho goldpieco you are
looking for. ” Ho took it and was
overjoyed to find tho distinguishing
marks ho had placed upon tho coin
when it first loft Mr. Davis’ pocket
and found its way to his own. Since
then tho precious piece has boon
kept carefully wrapped and safely
secured against another disappear
ance.
While in Paris flvo or six years
ago General Church was a guest one
evening at tho homo of a wealthy
family who had formerly resided in
New York. In soino way- tho hostess
learned that ho had helped to guard
Mr. Davis whilo ho was a prisoner
of war, and sho said, with much ap
parent satisfaction, “I have a Mexi
can dollar that was taken from Mr.
Davis’ pocket at that time, which I
value very highly.”
Without betraying tho anxioty ho
felt, Mr. Church asked when and
where sho obtained it and was told
that it had had beon presented to
tho lato President Andrew Johnson
whilo ho occupied tho White House,
and that she being his near relative
it had fallen to her on tho distribu
tion of his valuables after President
Johnson’s death. General Church
had no opportunity or inclination
then to explain what ho knew 7 of tho
old relic, but he has now had an
opportunity to personally tell Major
Black where his long lost dollar is,
and ho, too, may, like General
Church, eoruo in duo timo into pos
sosdon of his own.—Washington

lleady Made Mortar.
Lighterngo business about tbo har
bor of Now York has beon considor
nbly damaged by a now labor saving
device in the building trade. It used
to bo that many lighters were em
ployed in transporting from point to
point tho sand and lirno that go to
the making of mortar. Anew con
corn, howover, is now sending down
scowloads of ready mixed mortar
from Cow bay. This mortar, of
threequalties, is ladled out into iron
carts and sent to all parts of the city
where building operations are going
on, and tho lighters aro less and less
employed for carrying tho materials
that go to tho making of mortar.—
New York Sun.
Light and Sleeping.
Don’t sleep with eyes facing the
light is a caution given by all occu
lists. A tost by closing tho eyes
when facing tho light quickly shows
that tho strain is only lessened, not
removed, and tho interposition of
an adequate shade is as grateful to
tbo shut eyes as when they aro open.
It is sometimes necessary iu a small
room to have the bed face the win
dow, but even then, by moans of
shades rolling from the bottom in
stead of from tbo top, the window
may lie covered to tho few inches
left free for the passage of air.—
