;• . ,.y Mlrrtrl Ur Mule.. -‘ .-_ BSl! riding home to"supper flay evening on n Jackson . [ have seen two singular accidents happen to the mules on this line,” re marked one of tlie passengers, gazing reflectively at the little hay-burner as it plodded sturdily on through the beating rain. “The first happened sev eral mouths ago. Two mules were be ing driven. Suddenly one ot them slipped and fell directly across the track. The driver lost his presence ot mind and did not have hold ot the brake.- The oar went directly over the fallen mule, and when the passengers alighted nothing could be seen of the anluinl but his ears sticking out from under the front of the vehicle. His neck was twisted to one side and ap parently broken, but he eventually got It straight and came out of the mishap with three ribs broken from Ills baok- bone. “The other acoklent was less serious and of more recent date. The water works force had dug one of their long ditches directly under the track and had placed a plank for the mule to walk over. Just as the conveyance reached the opening a party of boys who were playing in the ditch jumped out from under the plank. They were very noisy, and their sudden emer gence from apparently the bowels of the earth frightened the mule. It swerved oil' the hoard and sat right down In the ditch. The car passed directly over it without Injury. 'I aided the driver to extricate the motlvu power from Its ludicrous position, nnd we proceeded on our way without further aooldent.” POLITICAL GOSSIP. Col. Leonidas F. Livingston will not offer for re-election as president of the State Alliance. This is by tin means a surprise as Leonidas has other fish to Kmleavors are being made to get lip a Third Party paper In Athens. The matter Is in the hands of George Ilrlghtwell, who says he Is going to make It a hummer. *.* The North Carolina Third Partyltes held a convention yesterday and put a full State ticket ill the field. The Third Party Is as strong In that State as It is anywhere, but It will never override the solid Democracy of the old Tnr Heel State. *.* Hon. Joe James, of Douglas county, will make a Demooratlo speeoh In Quitman this week. Mr. James is one ot the loyal, true-blue Demoorats of Douglas, and It will do the people of Ilrooks good to hear him. V Turn Watson will venture out of Ills district to speak once nt least, though probably not more than onoo. He will speak at Bishop, In Oconee oonnty, next week, and It is Bald that If he gets every Third Party mail within a radius of twenty-five miles around he will scarcely have a good sized nudi- ence. V There Is great danger of a split In the Alliance Slate Convention which is now In session at Gainesville, The Third Pnrty Alllancetncn want tilings their way, wlillo the Demooratlo Alll- ancemen are just ns determined to have things their way, Everybody says there is going to he a bust ami It will be a big one. The tight Is on and the best man will whin. V The deadlock in the Congressional convention of the sixth, at Indian Springs, was at last broken yesterday and Tom Cabincss reoeivod the noml nation tor congressman from that dis trict on the ltlllth ballot. Bartlett was withdrawn by Wash Desseau, of Ma con, In' a brilliant speeoh, giving live votes to Cabincss, and the nomination was then made unanimous. Cabiuess made a beautiful speeoh of acceptance and was followed by Whitfield and Bartlett who made strong appeals for party unity. Handsome Chinn Silks nt 48c., worth 8ii0. at llOKMAVKK & JOXKS’, Thk Ukuai.u is too full of eonvention matters for editorial utterance this evening. 1 Jost as we predicted, Tom Cabiniss will be the next Congressman from the Sixth. Hon. Hkx K. Kusski.i, left this af ternoon for Bulnbridge, where he will be given a right royal welcome. Thank God, the Democracy of the Second dist rict, which has been so un fortunately divided into two factions in the present campaign, is to-day re united ! Oh, Whitt n Coiijjli. Will you heed the warning? The signal perhaps of the sure approach of that more terrible disease consump tion. Ask yourselves if you can af ford for the sake of saving 80c, to run the risk and do nothing for it. W. know from experience that Shiloh’s I Cure will cure your cough. It never i,;. falls.

We are told by the Republican and high tariff organs that, as evidence of the wonderful effect of reciprocity, the exporls of the United States to Cuba have have Increased $5,000,000 in the ten months since the trenty with Spain went into elfeot. But what Is falsely attributed to re ciprocity by those organB Is due solely to the genius of free trade. Reciprocity in tills case, ns in nil others, has only diverted in some de gree the "course of a few exports of this country and Spain. The bread- stuffs which Spam formerly sent to Cuba have been shipped to nearer markets In Germany, France and Italy, nnd the amount thus diverted has been supplied by the United States. There has been n change only in the direc tion of transportation. The Cubans have eBten no more bread than before, the Spaniards Imve produced no less flour nnd the farmers of the United States have sold no more to the amount of a barrel by reason of reciprocity. The general movements of trade enn be effeoted only hi uu inllnltesmal de gree by this piddling device of re ciprocity. Nothing could be more ludicrous than a policy which ob structs commerce with the great na tions of the world ami seeks a market, for the surplus products of the United States in Cuba nnd San Domingo. While of nit Hkx tor Burus. To hasten the c,tiro of a burn or a scald there is nettling more soothing or effective than file white of an egg. It Is eontnot with the air which makes n burn so painful. The egg nets as a varnish and excludes the nir com pletely and nlso prevents lullamnm- tlon. Thk old Alliance ship is about to sink Into n political whirlpool. Funds have given out, and its convention nt Gnlncsvllle is about to split. Verily the Alliance is in n bad wny. Plipipiln nuil l.lvrr Coiuplnlut.
