ago a • party of seven, including my
self, were enjoying an outing on

about eight miles trom I he Dalles.
While there we thought we would
show the natives how to fish. My
friend, ex-Marslial Bremiaid of Scio
in just hours and 15 minutes
caught j'... trout, weighing 20:>
pounds. We took the fish into town
and bragged not a little about ouv
catch. To our great sur
prise the old inhabitants didn t sliare
in our enthusiasm and pityingly said,
‘Boys, go up to the narrows and
learn liow to catch lisli.’
-Well, up to the narrows we went
and the sight whicu met our eyes 1

amount to much. We simply saw

WHY BOOTH KILLED LINCOLN.
A new story has been started as
why Booth killed Lincoln.
who commanded the body guard
0 f President Lincoln until it was
assigned toother duty about two
weeks before the assassination,
and who was called into the room.
wh f Mr ' ™ C ^‘ il
after being shot and saw him
breathe his last, said recently up
on Hie subject to a reporter of the
Philadelphia Times:
“I have seen many stories of the
pi „ t against Lincoln s life, many
0 f tliem blaming tlie South, but
tl,, true T,„ lM( . are
that Booth had a very dear actor
f r i en d named Anderson, who was
condemned to be shot as a spy.
Prior to this time Booth and Liu
coin had been friends. A strong
effort was made in Anderson’s be
half, so strong that a cabinet meet
* n _ was Held, and in some way
■
m to ; )0ar at tho
. and , plead . with . , .
meeting ears in
his eyes for his friend’s life. He
i e ft the meeting with trie under
sentence would
I # commuted to imprisonment.
Anderson was shot the following
morning at sunrise.
“Booth was frenzied with rage,
and it was a result of this that the
plot to kill not only Lincoln but
the entire cabinet, was formed'
There was more than one man pre
pared to shoot that night, and if
the courage of the man to whom
was entrusted the duty of turning
out the theatre lights had not
failed him, there would have been
a general slaughter. The South
iiad nothing to do with Presi
dent Lincoln’s assassination, and,
moreover, Mrs. Surratt, who was
hanged for complicity in the crime,
was an innocent woman. I know
it tj be a fact that Chief of Secret
Service Baker on his death-bed
confessed to Secretary Stanton
that Mrs. Surratt was hanged on
perjured evidence.’’—Aug. News.
IN SELF-DEFENSE.
Cordole,.Ga., Sept. 21.—At six
o’clock yesterday afternoon James
Bate, the seventeen-year-old son of
Mr. John S. Bate, of this city, kill¬
ed in self-defense Dave Pooler, a
negro gin hand employed by Mr.
Pate on his plantation at Pates
ville, nine miles below here.
Several days ago Mr. Pate sent
his son Jim to his place to take
charge of affairs. From the bo¬
ginning ho was troubled with this
negro Pooler, who was notoriously
an impudent and dangerous negro,
which culminated yesterday after¬
noon in the young man being com
pelled to kill him, purely in
defeuse. He ordered the negro to
cut some wood at the gin house.
which lie refused to do, whereupon
the young man emphatically In
formed him that the work must be
done, when the negro, with a heavy
lightwood stick, made a desperate
assault on young Pate. He ward¬
ed off several Mows with his arm
and tried to secure a stick with
which to defend himself, but see
ing it meant certain death for him
to* stoop down, and realizing that
something must ho done or he
would lie brained by the stick
in the hands of the desperate brute,
drew his knife and stabbed the ne
gro to the heart, killing him in
stamly.
Jim is a bright, steady, moral
young man, loved and respected
by every one, and his family have
many friends who regret very
much the unfortunate occurrence,
He is a nephew of the Hon. J. B.
Pate, one of Dooly’s legislators.
966,012 PENSIONERS.

Commissioner Lochren has suVmit

the year 24,715 claims for increase
of pension and 31,990 claims for
additional pension under the act
of June 27, 1890, were allowed.
In the same time 115,221 claims
for pension or for increase were
rejected. The number ot claims
pending on July 7, 1893, numbered
711,150. The amount of money

RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCE.
' Albany, Gn., Sept. 22—When
Prof. Hanson I*. Jones assumed
charge of the high school in this
city he began the exercises of the
day with prayer and Bible reading,
and as there are a large number of
Jewish pupils in the school their
i parents and the Jewish population
generally have become exercised
with.a fear that through such
' ligious exercises their children are
likely to be led away from the
faith of their fathers, and they
have demanded of the school an
thorities that the religious exer
cises be discontinued, as the
is a common one to a very large
extent, and supported in a great
measure out of the public school
fund.
It seems that they may have
some grounds for their demands,
but the Gentile authorities refuse
to concede the justice of their
mands, and the readings will be
continued. The question is be
ing very generally discussed, and
is likely to engender a great deal
of friction between the Jews and
Gentiles of tlie city, I learn that
a prominent Jewish citizen has
asked the couuty school coinmis
sinners for a division of the school
fund, in order that a strictly Jew
ish school may be established.
That request was also refused,
because the commissioner had no
right to divide the fund, in the
interest of any particular religious
denomination. It is a pretty kot
tie of fish, and likely to prove un
wholesome to the community,

KILLED BY A COTTON GIN.
Albany, Sept. 21.—A frightful
accident occurred this morning five
miles from Albany on t be plantation
of Mr. A. YV. Cosby and the life of
