It is reported at Tien Tsiu that the

The rainy season has done wonders
lor Aniericus people who raise hay in

Among other things it may be sug
gested that the American army mule
Yollows the Hag, and follows it very
closely.
A lively fight for the position of state
librarian is promised. There already
are several announced candidates for
the place.
The Filipinos have taken to counter
feiting the silver dollars. This is car
rying the free coinage idea to an ab-
aurd extreme.
The farmers of Bumter are going to
stand together in their demand of fair
prices for their cotton, and other busi-
ness interests are with them.
The American troops in the Philip
pines are evidently acting upon the
theory that tho only way to property
effectually subjugate those islands
is to virtually depopulate them. It’s
not a new plan.
Threatened hostilities in China has
yeansed the closing down of tho Pepper-
ell cotton mills, one of tho largest in
Maine. Over 3,000 employes are laid
off. Half tho product of tho mill was
marketed in China.
Do people ever get entirely over it?

THE MARGIN IS VERY NARROW.
“Every Democrat” says the Chicago
Morning Chronicle, “ivho voted for
Bryan four ( yearH ego will vote for him
this year."
"Thousands of Democrats who did
- not vote, or who did not vote for Bryan
four years ago will rote for him this
year. The money question ou which
they failed to vote for Uryau four years
ago is a dead issue this year.
“Thousands of Republicans who vot
ed for McKinley four years ago will
vote for Brj an this year
“They knows that McKinley wanted
the Philadelphia Convention to vote
for free coinage of silver “by interna
tional agreement," so that McKinley
aud Brynu differ only in detail about
the coinage of silver.
“They know that McKinley want
colonies and a subject class to despoil
Under our free flag,
“They know tlmt Bryan wants to ex
pand American trade in Larmouy with
Gre constitution of the United States,
arid that we will get all the possible
commercial benefits of expansion un
der Bryan without the dauger and in
famy of imperialism under McKinley.
“Election statistics of four years ago
show that it required only a different
distribution of the votes cast for Bry
an to elect him.
“The increased vote cast for him this
year will be along the lines of favor
able distribution.
“The Presidential margin this year
is, therefore, closer than four years
afeoj Democracy united and alert, de
voted to living issues exclusively, can
sleet tho President this year.
The Times Recorder endorses the
following timely article, taken from
the Houston, Texas, Post, and com
mends it to the consideration of any
who, for whatever pretext, refuse to
heartily support the Democratic nomi
nees in the pending National election.
It is something for Southern men to
think about.
In this time of peril all must stand
by the South. Says the Post.
“Inasjiecial from Washington to the
Chicago Chronicle it is shown that
Chairman Babcock of the republican
congressional committee is alarmed at
the prospect of the election of a dem
ocratic house next November. The
great anxiety which Mr. Babcock is
manifesting in the premises is not
wholly based ou the mere loss of one
congress by his party, but the fact that
such a contingency just at this timo
would prevent the accomplishment of
a bold scheme now in contemplation in
republican official circles to perpetuate
republican control of congress by cut
ting down tho congressional represen
tation of the South.
In several of the Southern States
the negro has been virtually disfran
chised, and tho republicans propose to
operate under the fourteenth amend
ment and eliminate Southern congres
sional representation to the extent of
this disfranchised vote. It will be re
membered that ex-Seuator Hill at Kan
sas City warned the democrats and the
Nation that another republican Nation
al victory would mean the enactment
of a force bill that would cripple and
plague the South for years to come.
“This threat; of reduced Southorn
representation has been heard often of
late and only another McKinley and
republican congressional victory is re
paired to see the threat carried into ef
fect.
'Are the Southern meiS, whet her. to
gether on finance or imperialism or
not, ready to see the power of the
South is congress permanently crip
pled? Are they ready to see the South
made a virtual dependency upon the
North and East? Are they in a posi
tion to sacrifice the South's prospects
for river and harbor and all other in
ternal improvement and retard onr
now bounding commercial develop
ment, by reducing the strength and
prestige of this section in the lower
house? This is a momentous question,
a great issue.
Those Southern men who are talk
ing of voting for republican congress
men, or of aiding McKinleyism in this
fight, should bring this vital issue
home to themselves. It is all import
ant to them, politically and financially,
and a determined, solid, white South
should oppose by every effort conceiv
able this nefarious plan to bind- aud
politically emasculate the South, both
in congress and] electoral college, and
fasten republicanism upon the Nation
permanently, with all the power aud
intolerance of an aggressive oligarchy,
or a self-perpetuating dictatorship.

his carriage with his aid-de-camp amid
the cheers of tho crowd, when ho was
stropk by three revolver shots fired in
quick succession. One pierced the heart
of his majesty, who fell back and ex

Some Sensational Stories.
Loxdsjj, July 80.—Some of tho even
ing papers hero attempt to trace a con
nection between the assassination of
King Humbert and the rancorous propa
ganda that the Vatican is alleged to have
conducted against tho supremacy of the
sovereign. Those journals point out
that the nssassiuntiou occurred tn the vi
cinity of Milan, where, it is alleged, tho
rocont insurrection was largely fomentod
by tho Roman Curia.

Queen Victoria Horror Strickefr.
London, July 30. — Perhaps in no
country was tho news of King Hum
bert's assassination received with deeper
sympathy aud greater horror than in
Great Britain. For the last few years,
aud more especially for the last few
months, during the South African war,
the Italian ministers, reflecting tho atti
tude of the thione, have shown an un
dying friendship for Groat Britain even
when the rest of Europe was invaightng
against England auA her policy. Queen
Victoria naturally was horror stricken
at the news. She immediately tele
graphed her condolences to Queen Mar-
ghuerite.

ville attornoy, has boon committed to

Dillon tells a pathetic story. He has
a wife and four smull children and has
had much sickness in his family. He
lmd no practice as u lawyer, aud was
nut making salt for his family. He says
ho went Into this scheme to, get bread
for his wife and children; that the pco-
plo ho ordered hooks from wero rich aud
were able to lose small amounts, while
the money would do him a great deal of
good. Ho said he had no mouey aud he
could not see bis family starve. He had
just been given (rthploymept at $15 per
month when arrested, and said that

ity withont resort to crookedness had he

SHOT DOV/N FROM AMBUSH.
Young Man Assussluuted at Darien.
Affair Is u Mystery.
Darien, Ga., July 31.—Arthur Ham-
iltou, a young white man of this place,
was shot and mortally wounded about
10 -Adoek. Ho is one of thoso who has
bceu filling tho place of tho striking
longshoremen, who went out on a striko
about four weeks ago. There is uo clew
to the murderer, whatever, although
Hamilton was accompanied by a negro
who was taking his satchel home for
him. Tho negro states that just as he
and Hamilton reached the edge of town
on the public highway, the wind blew
off his liut^ud while lie stooped to pick
it.np, he heard a gunshot and on look
ing up he saw Hamilton limping away
u few steps and fall. Htxgave the alarm,
and Hamilton was relinked to his home,
where lie died.
It is thought by'some that the murder
was done from a spirit of revenge by one
of the strikers, and by others fliat it
was from a private quarrel. Hamilton
could give no explanation whatever.

Deaths In the Philippines.
Washington, Aug. 1.—General Mao
Arthur reports 28 deaths among the
troops in the Philippines since bis last
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 1.—Tho de
fendant, Caleb Powers, again took the
stand when court opened. He was sub
jected to a rigid cross examination in re
gard to the organization of the mountain
army. He said that Governor, Taylor
and himself were the primary spirits in
getting it up. Tho military companies
were brought along, he said, because
they, haviug some discipline, could be
more easily controlled, uud moreovor,
that thoy were already armed.
The witness said he had urged Gov
ernor Taylor while the contest board was
sitting to call out the military companies
aud to scud the bulk of the other moun
tain people home and had secured a par
tial promise from the governor to do it.
This was to bo done in order that they
might hold possession of tho state offices
until the supreme court of the United
States passed on the merits of tho cases.
The witness contradicted the state
ment of John A. Black, the banker and
Republican leader of Barbourvillo, who
swore that Powers, wheu discussing tho
mountaineer excursion to Frankfort, re
ferred to it as a mob. Powers said Black
so referred to it, but that he told Black
he would do all he could to keep it from
degenerating into an organization of
that character.
George F. Weaver, the witness who
olaim.-d to hail from Colorado, and who
asserted that he saw the gun barrel
pointing from the office of the secretary
of state at the time Goebel was assassi
nated, has been arrested 011 a warrant
charging him with perjury. The war
rant was sworn out by the attorneys for
the defense in the Powers case, who say
that they have found out that Weaver
was not only not in Frankfort on' the
day of the assassination, but was never
there nntil the following Saturday night.
