The “rebs” report a fine
time in New Orleans, The
people of the South should
never let an opportunity pass
to give these old fellows a
good time, for they won’t be
hrre many more years and all
that can be done for them is
not half enough.
Owing to the death of Rep
resentative Ramsey and a
time-honored custon in Mur¬
ray county, Tom Ramsey, his
son, is the man to fill his un
expiretl term, and will no
doubt be elected without op- t
position. Tom is in the race,
and will fill the place, if elect
ed ina creditable way.

A fifteen thirty .

and did a hard day’s work.

As Will Martin, of Dalton,
was nominated in the Whit¬
field primary yesterday as the
democratic candidate to
resent the 4ard senatorial
district, ’ should be made pres- 1
ldent of that body, lie is cm
inently qualified to fill any
position within the gift of the
people. By his own efforts he
has won his way to success
until ", he now r ‘ inks among T the
ablest lawyers and . , best bus,- ;
ness men in this entire end of
the state. He is thoroughly
honest, cor s;rvative and safe,
The people are willing to trust
him in all things and under
all r i, cumstarc es. We hope
to see Will .Martin made presi¬
dent ofthe senate, for it will
be an honor to him and a
credit to the state.
When Sherman marched
to the sea, he left nothing in
his wake but chimneys where
houses had been, and home¬
less women and children with
nothing to eat what he did
not burn he carried away.
And now after forty
when the wound had
healed and people had learner
to forget a few of the outrages
he committed on our women
and children and homes, his
son, a Jesuit priest, is going
over this same route, acoom
panied by a company of cav
airy from Fort Oglethorpe.
What satisfaction can this
reverend gentleman find in
marching over this land of
ours, once made desolate by
the hand of his father? What
information can be gained by
traveling the path his father
trod with a gun in one hand
and a torch in the other?
Shame on a government that
would allow such a thing
done !
New York’s ludebtedniss.
The gross indebtedness of New
York is greater than that of the
Chinese empire. The cost of op
orating the city’s government fur
one year almost equals the annu
al expenditures of both London
and Haris combined. New York
pays out in salaries alone the
vast sum of $65,000,000 yearly,or
as much as London spends for its
entire administration. At the
present time there are 45,000
men and women on New York’s
payroll. Of every $100 that a
New Yorker pays in rent, it is
estimated that $12.25 goes into
the pockets of municipal “serv
ante."
To Test Submarine Device.
From the New York Times.
The submarine torpedo
Plunger, the craft in which Ires
ident Roosevelt, went to the hot
tom of Long Island sound last
summer, is soon to be used in
testing a device that, it is be
lieved, will make submarine nay
igation * great deal safer than .t
is at the present time. he
Plunger is now at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and as soon as the
re pairs upon her are completed
ghe wil , i )e fitted with the device
and tested, under the supervision
of Lieut. Charles Preston Nelson,
the submarine expert.
The device which is to be
on the plunger is a reel buoy,
and is the invention of Naval
Constructor Robert Stocker,
United States navy, the present
head of the Bureau ot Gom-tiuc
tion and Repair at the Norfolk
Navy Yard . The buoy is attached
to the submarine, and is so
ranged that it can be
released if the submarine boat
intoTrouble. When the reel
is released the buoy shoots to the
surface of fc h e water, its position
indicating the exact location of
the submarine and the necessity
of rendering assistance to the
i„ addition to the Stocker de
vice the Navy Department is
considering another safety de
vio- that will l» of special »«>.t
n ight, This signal is arranged
with a spool of lig h t wire, the
spool being carried on the out
side of t | ie submarine shell, and
su connected with the interior
that the crew can release the
signal, which a second later will
appear on the surface, the light
the signa , indicating at night
t!je pos iti on of the submarine, in
t j )e same manner as the reel buoy
does in the daytime.
THE MURRAY FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1906
Stories from San Francisco.
Refugees arriving from San
Francisco at different places tell
of a number of ridiculous things
done by people who had lost
tbeir w its under the excitement
A lone woman was seen
pushing an upright piano along
the pavement a few inches at a
time, an old man riding a bicycle
and carrying a skye-terrier, the
only thing he had saved, and a
woman lovingly embracing a Jap¬
anese doll. The narrator of this
story also heard a guest berating
» ! «e proprietor of a hotel five
minutes after the shock because
lie had not been awakened at 5
according to instructions.
i! ‘ e vowed indignantly
he. would never stop at that
j louse a g ain? and ho never will,
for the house is not there.
Miss Ina G. Botlnvell, a Ta¬
lent, toils of incidents at Stan
ford University. A girl svas
dressing in one of the society
houses when the floor gave. way.
jj er companion looked up , saw
that she was gone ana shrieked:
“Where are you, Mary?”
“Oh! lam in the parlor,” re¬
plied the girl calmly, as she
wriggled out of the heap of plas¬
ter and mortar below.
One man, at least,
to Miss Bothwell, missed what
would have been the experience
0 f a lifetime because lie did
wake up. Although the frater
nit-y house was almost razed
the ground, this man, whose
name she did not learn, slept on
and was still sleeping when they
rescued him from the ruins.
“There were ludicrous scenes
even in the saddest hours and !
cannot forget them,” said L. E.
Kyter, a Salt Lake mining man.
“l "ever saw so many parrots,ca
j »aries mocking birds and pet dogs
together in my life. 1 saw a pet
dog on the seat of an automobile,
the owner of which would not
«top to take m any wounded man
<*" the sidewalk. One thing in
particular will always remain in
my memory. On a pile ol bricks,
"tone and rubbish was thrown
the body of a man shot through
the head and on his chest was
pinned a placard: I tike warn
way to terror.ze *“ • those «““ who f'T™ would
s eal or make trouble.
I met one poor crazy woman,
who stopped tis to say that they
lm(] tilled herlmsba.ul and might
ag wel] ki n her. Then she
changed her cry and said she was
a cow and asked us to take her
awuy . Our hearts were convulsed
w j t h pity, but what could we do?
We left her talking to the next
comers and could only hope that
those finally in authority would
care for her.
.. lt was gra nd to see the spirit
of t j, e men who had lost fortunes
themselves in cheering up the
poor ones who had lost things of
, |0 great v j ue . ‘Why, 1 lost
$200,000, ! sai l one. ’What is
y 0U1 -baby carriage to that? Oneer
up _ It will all come out in the
wash .’ The acts of some of the
ex p re88 and carriage drivers,
however, were outrageous. Ivvit
ne8 aed one case in front of the
g t . Francis Hotel. After much
p ar i e y n man got an expressman
t 0 agree to take himself and wife
to the ferry for $20. Abell boy
ra n out and said : ‘What, yer do
in - ? That feller over there got
$ 5 d for that trip.’ So the man
had to pay $50 or walk. His wife
cou j d utd walk, so he paid it.”
Dr. George V Schramm, a
young medical graduate, says:
As I was passing down Mar
ket .tr«t with « -ew-foued
friend an automobile came rush
ing along with soldiers in it. My
doctor’s badge protected me. but
the soldiers invited my compan
ion, a husky six-footer, to get
into the automobile. He said:
“I don t want to ride and have
plenty of business to attend to.
t>nee more they invited him and
he refused. One of the soldiers
pointed a gun at him and said:
We need such men as you to
save women ami children and to
h ,! P fisut G |P fire. The nr n
was on liis way to laid h:s « *"
but he yielded to too inevit toil-,
He worked all day with the s<u
diers, and when released to get
lunch he felt that he could con¬
scientiously desert to go and find
his own loved ones.”
In the mfdst of mint'd four
story buildings stood a house of
three stories which had been
tilted on jacks'-rows and timbers
•to make room for another story
beneath it. It stood apparently
unbanned by the shock. Not a
piece of the underpinning was
displaced. One of the churches
mi Van N'-’ss avenue Had a
mosque-like dome. The building
was blown down, the walls
ingaway: but the steel! struet
a re remaiued, supporting the
dull gray dome, which seemed
Healing in the air like a balloon.

Sale of (illusion Hall.
From the Springfield Republican.
One of the line old colonial es¬
tates of Virginia has just been
sold for #§0,000 to Gen. Robert
G. Smith, of New York City.
This is the historic George Ma
son pluce in Fairfax county called
Gunston Ball. Mr. Mason built
the mansion in 1755, and it is ex¬
ceedingly preserved.
brary Mr. Mason undoubtedly
wrote the famous Virginia bill
of rights, and the house was for
years a headquarters for the Vir
gnua leaders of tne American
Revolution. Mr. Mason iaraselt
was the foremost jurist of V ir
ginia in his time, and his inllu
ence v,as very great upon the
younger men, Georg
ton, Thomas Jelferson, James
Madison and Patrick Henry. In
years there lms l,een a
nVarkt>ll tfeadenty for men of
large weaUh in other states to

gjoug in Virginia, which
