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.

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 “I am a democrat, and in vot ing the democratic ticket vote my mention the matter and it wason- ^Qnday with Mr. Shockley at He was looking r ud for seed corn. 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- of unseating Hampton^ The gen eral remembers that with some bitterness and McLaurin now oc cupies bis seat in the senate. 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. ’’ <^_GAINESVILLE MERCHANDISE COMPANY., Warming to The Work.
