Dec. 1.—With the people In a frenzy of revolution, the government disrupted and the revolu tionary army moving toward tho Cap itol, Haytl today presents a discour aging state of political chaos. A bat tle between government troops and the revolutionists Is momentarily ex pected, at Lerpone where the regular forces are supposed to be stationed. The rebels, under Gen. Simon, are nearby and aro making fortifications with Mlragoabnc as a base of opera tions. President Nord Alexis has stubborn ly determined to battle to the end and to suffer either a crushing defeat and abdication or conquer hla warring countrymen. It Is feared that when the Insurgent army arrlvez the gov ernment troops will surrender with out a shot and submit the capitol to plllago and rapine. The Cablnot Is completely demoralized and Is ready to abdicate at a moment’s notice. W. D. CRUM, REAPPOINTEO. Washington, Dec. 1.—W. D.

Fretwell, of Waycross, and while In the city tho couple stopped at the home of Mr. Fretwell on Albany Avenue. PULLED OFF TO PERFECTION. Speaking of the recent automobllo races In Savannah which were attend ed by 100,000 visitors, Tho Amerlcus Recorder says: From one of the country to the other there Is nothing but praise for tho admirable manner In which Sav annah pulled off the great Interna tional auto races the past week. Not a word of criticism as to the rangements are heard from any quarter. With a wonderful unanimity the visitors have expressed themsel ves as thoroughly satisfied So care ful wore the managers In their plans and in the execution of them, that It does not appear possible for even the most pessimistic critic to find flaws to pick at . It is not at all Improbable that Savannah will be honored with a ro- utrn engagement. That city is cleat' ly entitled to one more turn at the great International racing event While Its arrangements this year were seemingly flawless, and the affair throughout awakened admiration and commendation, it Is not at all Impro bable that another year the races would be (etfen more satla|actory. Experience naturally teaches and whatever defects may have existed In the track have now been discovered. It Is not at all unlikely that another year would find a seventy mile record established for the heavy car 400 miles race. In any event Savannah, Just as might have been expected, came out of the races covered with glory and with the proud distinction of being past master In tbe art of handling a great sporting-event with out accident and without complaint In answer to several personal en quiries, the eJItor of the Herald states that W. H. Mitchell, now on trial for abduction In TiiomasvtUe la- no re lative to Judge Bob Mitchell, except by marriage. Mr. T. C. Mitchell, father cf W. H. Mitchell, tho accused, belonged to another'Iamlly altogether and at the close of the war he was tho cnly ono left or the original mem bers of his family In that section T. C. Mitchell hunt the Mitchell house having Inherited a large fortune from his father. Dr. laaac Mitchell, and his brother Wm. Mitchell. 4"— ■■■■ ■ Washington, Dec. 1.—Herbert U Satterlee, of New York, son-in-law of J. P. Morgan, today accepted the ap pointment of Asstsant Secretary of the Navy. WHY. IS IT SO? Why Is not the country prosperous Why Is It that In the North and the South, and perhaps only In less de gree In the West, the business Inter ests generally aro still suffering In a measure from depression? Here is Sec. of Agriculture Wilson announcing In prond tones that tbe crops this year are of the greatest value the country baa ever known. Eight billion dolars has come out of the soil of tbe land through the efforts of the farmers, If the. Secretary’s figures are correct This, be states breaks all previous records, the value of last years’s crops having been five hundred, million dollars below that Why, then, the Jull times that are said to exist? If Olod has blessed us with crops worth eight billions of dollars why Is not the country as a whole overflowing with prosperity? When the people read such state ments as that Issued by the Secretary of Agriculture they are apt to do con siderable quiet thinking. And those who are working steadily, and those who find trouble In making both ends meet even though they are working on fill time and the farmera who complain of low prices, and tbe mer chants who complain of diminish ed trade and poor collections, will be to drink anything-again, ever". From this It would seem as If Mr. Taft had made up his mind to be abstainer from all sorts of alcohollo drink. It Is a fact that be never was a heavy drinker. At the foregoing dinner when Mr. Taft said he wasn’t tolng to use Intoxicants again, a boy hood friend who was present said: "You never did drink enough so that any one conld notice It.” Neverthe less, It appears that he Isn’t going to drink at all. GOOD LUCK FOR THE EDITOR8. Tho editors of the Herald rocelved from Riley Rogers, of Lulaton this morning, a box of fresh fish Just out of the water. There. Is plenty of them and they are fine. Two or three such friends as Riley Rogers Is about all a fellow needs In this world. We’U see the gentleman later. IN FOR THREE YEARS. IA doctor came to ar patient In an ibsano asylum, slapped 11m on the back,- and said: “Well, old mnn, you’re all right. You can run along and write your folks that you'll be ?k home In two weeks as good as new”. The patient went off gaily to write his letter. He had finished and seal ed, but when he was licking the stamp It slipped through his fingers to the floor lighted on the baolf of a vovhroach that was passing, and stuck. The patient hadn’t seen the cochroach—what he did see was his escaped postage stamp zigzagging aimlessly across the floor to the base board, wavering up over tho base board, and following a croockcd track up the wall and across tho celling. In depriessed silence he tore up the lei ter that he had Just written and dropped the pieces on the floor. ’Two weeks! Hell!” ho said. "I won’t be out of here In throo years." Jas M.
