“Let us not,"’ says the Cincinnatti En

Andrew Carnegie owns a lot on Fifth
asenue New York, around which is a
high board fence. The other day little
Tommy O’Brien attempted to climb the
fence to recover his football, when he fell
and sustained such injuries that he had
t> remain in bed three days. Upon
learning of the accident Mr. Carnegie
wrote Tommy a letter and sent
him a check for §5OO. News of the ac
cident spread through the neighborhood
rapidly and now it is said every day
there are crowds of small boys who are
trying to see how hard they can fall off
of Andrew Carnegie’s fence.
- In reply to card of Dr. A. B. Duncan,
he says our letter charged him with hav
ing resigned his office of Sanator of this
the loth district. Th- article made no
such charge, it said that he should nemgng
because he had moved bag and baggage
beyond the district, his residence here isi
simply a constructive one, such a mfi-i
dence as the law contemplates for thei
purpose of giving a traveling man the
right to vote but not tie right to be sued!
in this county. If any one should want}
to sue the Senator lam sure they would‘
have to go to Fulton coanty to do so, as|
there is no house here where papers could
be left to perfect service as he has nog
place of abode here and he is not here
himself. We know of none who hold
office and claim Lee county as their hom
except Mr. W. P Pierce of the Freed
mans bureau fame, we guess this is his
ideal statesman of whom he takes pat
tern. The small sum of one dollar a ygaq
poll tax is all the clein he has on Leei
County. When he comes here to vote in;
the June election he will either have toi
accept the hospitality of relations or
friends or pay a hotel bill, as he is like
the son of man “hath not place to 'lay%
his head.”” We understand fully that the|
senate isthe sole judge of iis members|
This law was made very liberal presum-|
ing no doubt that any one so highly hon-|
cred as to be elected to this office would]
do as Mr. Felder did when he moved out|
of his county, send in his resignation
without forcing some one to call his at
tention tohis plain duty. Asa matter
of fact his actual residence is in Fulton
county where he resides with his family|
and is ingaged in the practies of his pro-|
fession and seiling drugs and conpound-i
ing his own prescriptions for which pur
pose he sent here for a certified copyi
of his license in order to comply withi
law, by registering in Fulton county.|
In re’erence (o the term resident, as ap-,
plies to office holders, w: refer him to‘
the report of the investigation committeel
on impeachment charge against Judge
Charles Swayne of Florida which was
published in the Constitution of March{
