Mr. Bill Patterson’s house was
burned Sunday night. Every
thing he had was destroyed except
his feather heds. Mr. Patterson
came near getting burned up in
trying to save his things; his
hand was badly Bcorched and his
hair was singed. It is supposed
that it caught from loose matches
about the house.
The last agents that we saw
were selling well curbs. Messrs.
J. W. Bailey and Bill Bagleyeach
bought one. (Bv-the-way, we
wouldn’t be surprised at anything
these days.) Suckers will bite
this warm weather, and no one
knows it better than these agents.
Mrs. E. Parks died Saturday

She leaves a husband and three

Bankhead, M. C., Has Queer Ideas.
Washington, May 6.—Represen
tative Bankhead, of Alabama,
says that if the negro question can
be eliminated, the republican par
ty may become strong in the
south.
some of the most prominent men
in Alabama will associate them
selves with the republican party
and, as a democrat, I say it would
be better for the south, and, for
the whole country, if conditions
were such as to admit of every
man voting his sentiments on
great questions of public policy,
•without being held in bondage by
a disturbing local cpndition . With
the negro out of polities, I believe
the time would come when Alaba-
*
ma would foe divided foe tween two
great parties of nearly equal
strength, and that elections would
be determined there by the candi
dates and the issues of the hour.
This cannot foe as long as the ne
gro question remains unsettled.
That question renders it impossi
ble for many who are prominent
m business affairs, progressive and
respected m the • community—
some of the best men we have—
who are in sympathy with repub
lican policies, from acting with
that party.
“If this obstacle were removed,
it would conduce to the welfare of
the whole country, as well as of
the south, giving the south a free
dom of thought and action, mag
nifying its influence in public - af
fairs, while giving to the republi
cans the advantage of the co-oper
ation of all those who believe m
its policies. If the elimination of
the negro question results in the
republicans dominating anywhere
in the south through the expres
sion ot the sentiments of intelli
gent voters, we will have no rea
son to oomplain, but as long as
the negro is in politics, the men
who are now voting the democrat
ic under protest will continue to
vote it,”
Can’t Buy Wade Hampton.
Columbia, S. C., May 6.—Sena
tor McLaurin’s boldest stroke on
political lines was made when he
tendered to Gen Wade Hampton
the Columbia postmastership. It
seems that Senator McLaurin has
the South Carolina federal offices
at his disposal and he is causing
consternation in the ranks of the
old-line republicans, as well as
causing concern to many demo
crats.
It was ascertained that a close
friend of McLaurm’s had called
on General Hampton and asked
him to accept the office whice is
soon to be made a first-class one.
The general was requested not to

ing the democratic ticket vote my mention the matter and it wason-

He was looking

sentiments,” he said in an inter
view h9re, “but I know that there
are many men of wealth and so
cial and business prominence in
the south who affiliate with the
democratic party under protest.
There has been a wonderful indus
trial development in Alabama,
and many of the wealthy and
prominent men engaged iu busi
ness enterprises are at heart re
publicans, and, if conditions were
such as to admit of it, would vote
with the republican party. As
long as the negro is in politics,
however, they can not do so. They
have to ignore every other consid
eration in politics when confront
ed with the danger of negro domi
nation.
“I feel no hesitation in sayiug
ly when assured that the fact of
the tender having been made was
known that he said, when urged
for a statement:
“I Wv/uld not accept anything in
the world from that source.”
Then, after a pause, the old gen
eral said with emphasis:C.
“The people of South Carolina
should know by this time that I
cannot be bought.”
General Hampton is understood
to have no unkindly feelings for
the president, who, he believes,
would have retained him in office
on the railroad commission if he
could have consulted his own
wishes, but McLaurin seconded
the nomination of Irby for the
general’s seat in the senate, after
having declared he would not fol-

Best Killer on Earth.
New York, May 7,—Gen. James
H. Wilson, in an address before
the Loyal Legion the other night,
devoted his time to anecdotes and
recollections of the Pekin cam
paign. He paid a high tribute to
the United States troops.
“We were not a very large con
tingent,’’ he said, “but we were
easily in the front rank among
the allies. The Russian comman
der ol artillery told Gen. Chaffee
that he took off his hat to our ar
tillery. As for our infantry—
well, let me recall the story of the
storming of the walls of Pekin,
when the Fourteenth infantry,
commanded by old Daggett, found
itself under the shadow of the
wall. A private went to the col
onel and said, as he looked criti
cally at the battlements above
him:
“‘lean scale that wall, col
onel,’
‘“All right,’ said Daggett, ‘go
ahead.’
“He went ahead and scaled the
wall. Then he hauled the colonel
up and soon had the two compan
ies on the wall. They found there
a number of Russians who had got
to the top during the night, but
were afraid to go out to a sally
port in the immediate vicinity and
clear it. Daggett and his men
went through the sally port and
let in Riley and his grans. Then
it was all over.
“We musn’t be vainglorious
about the American soldier. He
isn’t a great disciplinarian. His
collar doesn’t always fit just right
and his leggings may lack a few
loops of being fastened, but when
it comes to fighting—he gets there.
It's my private opinion that the
American soldier is the best killer
on the top of the earth.”
May Grow Oranges in Gainesville.
A Washington dispatch says the
department of agriculture is con
ducting experiments which prom
ise to make the culture of oranges
financially successful as far north
as Maryland and Virginia. Five
years ago the experiments were
first begun with the Japanese or
ange, which is extensively used for
hedges. Later, the sweet orange
was grafted on this hardier stock,
and the trees representing the
cross are nowjgrowing vigorously
in the grounds of the department
in Washington. Should the yield
of fruit this year be promising, or
ange orchards will be set out soon
in Maryland and Virginia. Wo
may, perhaps, have abundant or
ange groves in Hall county within
the next decade. ’’
