Reidsville, Ga., June B.—A serious
fehooting affray occurred at Collins last
night between Mr. A. A. Reppard, su
perintendent of the C. and R. Railroad,
and a negro named Charles Davis.
Davis came to Collins on Seaboard
train No. 72 and was drinking. He is
a desperate negro and was heavily
armed. When Mr. Reppard started to
back his train out, he called to Davis
to look out. Davis stepped aside and
cursed Mr. Reppard as he passed. Mr
Reppard ran in the baggage car and
secured his revolver, stepped off
his train and walked back to
the depot. The negro in the mean
time had walked over to the store of
W. L. Morris', a distance of sixty
yards. When he saw Mr. Reppard ap
proaching he drew his pistol and was
in the act of shooting, when Mr. Ren
pard opened Are on him. Eleven shots
were exchanged and Mr. Reppard hav
ing emptied his pistol, stepped into
the store The negro fired through the
door. The shot took effect in Mr. Rep
pards left arm, just above the elbow.
Davis then tan through the woods,
pursued by several armed men. He was
shot six or eight times and so wounded
managed to make his escape. Search
was resumed this morning, but up to
this writing he has not been appre
hended. Two negro children, who were
near Mr. Reppard were shot by the
negro. Both were slightly injured and
will recover. Mr. Reppard's wound,
while painful, Is not serious.

Atlanta Pastor Says He Will Xevcr
Join Any More Temperance “Redo
luting" Committees.
Atlanta. June B.—Dr. Len G. Brough
ton. at the Baptist Tabernacle to
night, prefaced his sermon with a
statement about the recent primary.
He told about his part in the primary
in behalf of Hon. Dupont Guerry, and
finally said he had decided never again
to join any temperance resolution com
mittee. either Georgia Baptist or Geor
gia Methodist. Somebody, he said,
would be held responsible by the Al
mighty for the defeat of prohibition in
Georgia. He thought lie would have to
join the politicians, as they seemed
more consistent at least, than the pro
hibitionists. He expressed the belief
that an effort would be made to in
corporate local option in the Demo
cratic platform, and urged that every
effort should be made to prevent it, as
such would be the death knell of pro
hibition.

CUIMiSE HOTELS.
A Structure Which Makes Sleeping
Ouitlonu a Desired Prtveleue.
Correspondence of the Mail and Ex
press.
Ping Yang, Province of Shensi.—Chi
na needs many things before her
unique civilization can be Westernized
sufficiently to give her the place
among the great nations of earth to
which her vast resources and popula
tion entitle her, and not the least of
these is first-class hotels.
Slow and tedious as traveling in
Kwang Hsu's empire is, it could sel
dom be called uncomfortable were It
not for the lack of decent sleeping and
eating accommodation by the way. Like
everything else, Chinese inns are _iart
of a system to which one must sub
mit or else give up the idea of ever see
ing any more of China than the tieaty
ports.
In order to ovoid inns, the traveler
from the outside world often longs for
the privilege of sleeping out of doors,
or of rolling up in his sheepskins on
the floor <rf his car; but this he cannot
do without danger of being arrested as
a vagrant. For a thousand years or
so respectable Chinamen when away
from home have spent the night at (he
Inn which happened to be at the end
of each day's journey, and it is there
fore radical to the point of treason for
any one to suggest that the Inn sys
tem can be in any way improved. The
very sight of a Chinese inn after four
teen hours in the saddle is better cal
culated than anything else In th
world to make a New Yorker homesick
for Broadway.
A b'ig gateway on the street opens
Into a huge courtyard, surrounded on
three sides by a one-story building. It
Is usually built of mud. with a tiled
roof. The courtyard is filled with the
carts and luggage of patrons. For
those who have stopped for only one
meal, the animals are not unhitched
from the carts, and one has to be very
circumspect in moving about among
Confidential.

them in order to avoid a kick from a
mule disturbed in eating his fodder.
Animals whose owners will spend the
night in the inn are kept in a low shed
adjoining 'the sleeping apartments.
Many innkeepers keep pigs—thin "raz
orbacks" —which have the liberty of
everything on the premises. The Chi
nese prejudice against the foreigner i3
not shared by the pigs. They have a
way of making his acquaintance by
poking Into his luggage and rubbing up
against his legs that ought to strength
en the faith of the optimists that “Chi
na is longing for Western light.”
Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bridle rein is seized by a dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprie
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness of carts and mules. Pro
prietor and boy then hold a parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then a
door is pushed open and the traveler
is shown to his apartment. It is usual
ly about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud and so are
beds, which extend entirely across the
side of the room, with only space
enough between them for a small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
The first duty of the proprietor In
making a patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window-pane.
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces It with anew one, because
the sheet of paper is worth about one
tenth of a cent and the innkeeper is not
wasteful. Instead, he pastes little
slips of paper over the holes until all
the light that filters through it is of a
mottled hue.
At one end of the mule shed Is the
kitchen of the inn. It is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten In the rooms. The menu Is
not elaborate. It consists only of bowls
of rice and tea. Should the traveler
desire a greater variety of food, he
can buy it himself In the market and
his own servant can cook it in the
kitchen of the inn. To sleep on the
bed of a Chinese inn would, for a for
eigner. be an impossibility, were it
not that he is always so exhausted at
the end of each day’s journey that he
linds it difficult to remain awake ten
minutes after alighting from his pony.
He lies down on the mat that covers
the harp head of mud and surprises
himself at the soundness of his slum
ber.
llunHty of t'lieaiinrm.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is its cheapness. Just as the trav
eler Is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount of
his bill. Everything is charged on the
"European plan.” Every cup of tea.
every rushlight candle, the paper win
dow-pane, are all itemized in the long
list which the proprietor reels off in
sing-song, but the total is surprising
ly low. The cost of food and lodging
for one night for a traveler and two
servants, with stabling, and fodder for
his ponies and cart mules, is about 5Q
cents.
Besides an inn for the general public,
every large town possesses a ''Kung
Kuan," or building set aside for ihe
use of officials or travelers provided
with government passports. The Kung
is not a private institution, but is the
property of the muinicipality, and its
care and maintenance are one of the
manifold responsibilities of the district
mandarin. When no one eligible for
a Kung Kuan is passing through the
town it is kept closed, but as soon as
the mandarin is notified of the com
ing of a traveler officially conducted
he sends a “banchaiti” to open it,
sweep the floors, engage servants and
make it ready for occupancy.
The ' banchaiti” is a member of *.he
mandarin's official householl. He ts a
sort of major-aomo, who is supposed
to know what is test calculated to
make a traveling t'n.naman comfort
able and happy.
The Kung Kuan usually consists of
several brick buildings surrounding a
stone-paved courtyard. On his a. rival
the traveler finds the “banchaiti"
waiting at the door of the main build
ing to receive him. Me hands hirn the
mandarin's card, and In exchange takes
one of the trav-de•'. This ser/ee as
a sort of receipt, indicating that the
guest has a 'ri /ed and is now under
the protection of the municipality.
Kung Kuans are usually far cleaner
than most Cbi.tcsj houses although
from a long period of disuse they sre
often stuffy and close.
They are arranged and furnished
with an especial car,- to the preserva
tion of official dignity. Unless the
traveler wishes to humiliate h’rrtelf
in the eyes of every one in the Kur.g
Kuan he must tike great care never
to sit anywhere than at the left of a
table or to sl-ep in any raom but the
one on the left of the entrance. To
ever take uie right side in China, when
an official is not in the room, is a low
ering of one's self-respect to a degree
that cannot l>; forgiven.
For all prijlieal purposes the ‘‘ban
chaiti" is the prop'ietar of the Kung
Kuan. It is he who issues the orders
to the servants and superintends the
preparation of the meals
in some cases they are furnished by
the 'banchaiti,” but more often the
traveler must purchase his own food,
which is only cooked by the attend
ants of the Kung Kuan.
Theoretically, the occupancy of a.
Kunk Kuan is honorary and without
pay to any one, but actually quite the
reverse Is true. By way of saying good
by to the traveler the "banchaiti”
makes a low “kow-tow" and asks for
a tip. or “cumshaw." By long usage
this has been reduced to a fixed sum,
proportionate to the number of the
traveler’s party and the length of time
spent in the Kung Kuan. The result
is that it costs far more to be a guest
of a Chinese town than a patron of a
public inn.
Kung Kuans in North China are just
now in exceptionally good condition,
owing to the elaborate preparations
made in them for occupancy by teh
Emperor and Empress Dowager in
their journeys between Pekin and Sian,
their place of exile. Travelers in
Shansi and Shensi can to-day have the
rare privilege of sleeping in rooms
whose walls are papered In the Impe
rial red and yellow, and adorned with
inscriptions which indicate that one
night of Kwank Hsu's life was spent
In the same place.
Origin of tli** Word ( aim.
From the Literary Era.
Cuba is the name by which the isl
and was originally known to the Lu
cayan Indians, who were with Colum
bus when he discovered It. One of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan, and it is reported that
from the similarity of sounds of Co
lumbus, still supposing himself to be
on the coast of Asia, imagined that
this must be a city of Kubia Khan,
the Tartar sovereign celebrated by
Marco Polo. The survival of the or
iginal name for Cuba Is a remarkable
instance of persistence, as the island
has been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana. In hon
or of Prince John, the son of Ferdi
nand and Isablla. After Ferdinand's
death It was called. In hts memory,
Fernandina. Subsequently, this name
was changed to Santiago, after Bt.
James, the patron saint of Sputn. Still
later It was named Ave Maria, in hon
or of the Virgin Mary. But none of
then* names held, and the Indian name
is still preserved

OPPOSITION TO BRANTLEY.
“LILY WHITES” SAID TO BE
GROOMING VALDOSTA MAX.

Ynldosta Southern Rnilroad to He
Offered the Xoininntion—Merely
Pnrt of a Plan to Oast the Jolin
son-Hneker-Deveanx Clique and
Plnee the “Lily Whites" In Charlie.
The Doyles of Ssunnah Suld to Re
With the “Lily Whites” and Hina
With the Other Crowd.
Brunswick. Ga., June B.—An inter
esting story in regard to a well-plan
ned effort of the "Elly Whites” to cap
ture the Republican State Executive
Committee and the next delegation to
the National Convention is current
here, and in this week's issue of the
Brunswick Herald, the official org in
of the Republicans of the Eleventh, a
red-hot editorial reveals the fact that
the “Lily Whites” are preparing to
run J. M. Wilkinson of Valdosta,
president of the Valdosta Southern
Railroad, for congressman against
Hon. W. G. Brantley, the nominee of
the Democrats. Wilkinson made the
race against Mr. Brantley some years
ago, but his overwhelming defeat at
that time seems not to have deterred
him from agreeing to make the race
again.
Of course, Mr. 'Wilkinson has no idea
of defeating Mr. Brantley and the ob
servant ones must look further for the
motive behind his willingness to make
a losing race. This motive has been
alleged down here to mean that the
“Lily Whites” have now begun to or
ganize in Georgia their supporters to
buck Walter Johnson for chairmanship
of the State Executive Committee and
to oust Rucker, Deveaux and others
and place Maj. J. F. Hanson, Harry
F. Edwards, postmaster of Macon, and
others of the "Lily Whites" in con
trol of the state machinery. Then the
control of the next national organiza
tion is to go the same way and the
old standbys that were under A. E.
Buck's wing and are now under John
son’s wing are to be sent away back
and have no further pull with the G.
O. P.
In this deal the forces of
Doyle of Savannah are to be lined up
with the Lily Whites while the forces
of Postmaster Harry Blun of Savan
nah are to be lined up against Doyle
and the Hanson-Edwards supporters.
Down in this district where the plan
seems to have had its inception, and
where the utmost secrecy regarding
it has so far prevailed, the supporters
of the Blun-Belcher-Deveaux faction
niake some hot political charges
against Postmaster Grier of Dublin,
and Assistant District Attorney Aker
man of Dublin. The Herald charges
that the move has the utmost signifi
cance and the official organ throws
out some hot lava In this week's is
sue, alleging that the colored census
enumerators, who had their commis
sions revoked, were the victims of
the Lily Whites headed by Grier and
Akerman, who are now trying to get
Wilkinson In the race against Con
gressman Brantley and then make
Grier chairman of the Eleventh Con
gressional Committee as a preliminary
to capturing the state delegation and
committee. Postmaster T. M. Kay of
Valdosta is also alleged to be in the
deal, and some hot politics is bound
to result.
The fact that Wilkinson has been se
lected for the sacrifice to this hopeless
cause Is considered proof sufficient
that the opponents of Belcher-Deveaux
und Blun realize that a campaign fund
is necessary and they have chosen a
candidate whose leg can be pulled the
longest in the race against Congress
man Brantley. As Wilkinson has
sense enough to be president of a rail
road it is fair to presume that he
knows he cannot win against Brantley,
and therefore the conjectures by the
supporters of Walter Johnson that it is
simply a preliminary move by the Lily
Whites to oust the present State Board
of Control is a very reasonable one.
The Early Life of the Empress of
China.
From Success.
Tsu-Tsi, the empress of China, has
lived in a period of transiton. Within
the space of a few decades, the storm
wind, imprisoned for ages; burst over
the time-forgotten land of China,
where peace had found a sure harbor
age for generations, shattering creeds
and customs, hopes and strivings. The
sacred city of Mukden, where the
moldering remains of the founders of
the Manchu dynasty mingle with the
living roots of hardy pine and weeping
willow, became a Russian town, and
the very capital of the empire wai
plowed Into a chaos of ruins; but, amid
the crash of the old and the onslaught
of the new, Tsu-Tsi alone endured,
keeping her seat on the tottering
throne and bowirg neither head nor
knee. Truly, this woman of fate would
seem to live a charmed life and to
be the possessor of some mystic
Ariadne clue which helps her thread
her way through the wlldering laby
rinth which time and the white race
have no skillfully woven for her peo
ple and herself.
Hardly less strange is the fact that
freshness of youth, which, clinging to
her still, despite the years and the
worries that have followed in their
train, combines with so much else that
strikes and fascinate® to raise her to
a place high above that of the average
of her contemporaries. With a frail
firm, with eyes keen and stern In
response, but soft and caressing when
the features relax into a smile, a voice
that singes the soul when used in an
ger, yet soothes and softens like dul
cimers’ strains, when addressing her
friends, she can attune herself to every
mo|l and touch the wellsprings of
most people who come within the
sphere of her personal influence. Des
pite her sixty-five years, years 'of
storm and stress, age has not yet
wound his soft white bloesoms round
the brows—still furrowless, —of Tsu-
Tsi, nor bleached the mellow color of
her cheeks. She is the allegory of per
petual youth
To say that this daughter of an ob
scure and penniless huckster is a self
made woman, who, by dint of will
power and Insight, won her way to a
throne w hence she mold* the fate of a
people of four hundred millions, is to
convey but a faint and far-away idea
of the part she has played in carving
her own curious career.
The Kolly of Overseneitlvenes..
From Success.
Oversensitive people are usually very
fine-grained, highly organized, and In
telligent, and. if they could overcome
this weakness, would become capable,
conscientious wdrkers. This falling
for it is a failing, and a very serious
one. too,—is an exaggerated form of
self-consciousness, vihich, while entire
ly different from egotism or conceit,
causes self to loom up in such large
proportion* on the mental retina as to
overshadow everything else. The vic
tim of It feels that, wherever he goes,
whatever he does, he 1* the center of
observation, and that all eyes, all
thoughts are tocueed upon him. He
imagines that people are criticising his
movement* and hi* person, and making
fun at lit* expense; when, In reality,
they are not thinking of him. and per
haps did not see him.
