age from twelve to seventeen, who
ceive a salary of $1,200 a year,

and tradition, they receive a

nation there, a commission in the

pages xtho do the waiting at the royal
tables, to footmen conveying the

men likew ise wait at tho table of
gentlemen and ladies of the
household. The footmen wear
coats and vests, blue plush breeches,
whito silk stockings and low shoes,
while the pages wear coats of a
navy blue, with gilt buttons,
velvet breeches, white silk
nnd gold garters. 1 may add, says u

PRESIDENT IS ROYALLY RECEIVED
AT TENNESSEE’S SHOW.
HE MAKES A PATRIOTIC ADDRESS.
Day IVa« Appropriately OIol>r»te<! Ity tlio
Jmm.nse Tfirong. In the City
Hinl at tli« Ground*.
Friday was McKinley day at the
m Tennessee exposition. ... ,rt. The president -v
and his party arrived at Nashville at
7:30 a. m. and were met by President
J. W. Thomas of the Tennes; ce Gen-
tcnmal exposition, ana tlie members of
tlie exposition executive committee.
After cordial greetings bad been ex¬
tended to the visitors they were taken
m carnages to the Maxwell House,
They breakfasted and at 10 o’clock
governor Governor Taylor llushnell of of Tennessee Ohio, accom- and
panied by their staffs, called upon the
president. Mrs, Van Leer Kirkman,
presidc.it of the woman’s board of the
exposition, also called upon President
and Mrs. McKinley and party. president
Leaving the hotel the was
greeted by the thousands of people
who lined the streets
A detachment of ex-Confederate vet¬
erans acted as a guard of honor for the
president.
The line of march continued out
Broad street to West End avenue, and
to the main entrance of the exposition.
Arriving at the grounds the presi¬
dent was greeted with hearty cheers
and so were Secretaries Sherman,
Alger, Gary, Wilson and the other
distinguished guests and their accom¬
panying ladies. Mrs. McKinley, much
to the regret of every one, did not feel
equal to the heat and stress and re¬
mained in her room at the hotel.
A variation upon “Old Kentucky
Home” was a fitting prelude to the
speeches at the auditorium. Presi¬
dent Thomas introduced Governor
Taylor, who delivered an address of
welcome, and introduced the president
of the United States. Tho president
among other things said:
“Officers of the Centennial Exposition,
Ladles and Gentlemen: American nation-
a I ity com {mrod with that of Europe and the
east is at ill very young; and yet wo are be¬
ginning to have ago enough for centennial
anniversaries in states other than the origi¬
nal thirteen. Such occasions are always in¬
teresting and when celebrated in a practical
way are useful and instructive.
“Combining retrospect and Mat.....,’d review they
w»at-............. by na-
tion and point out what yet remains for both
to accomplish in onlor to fulfill their high-
ost destiny
“This celebration Is of general interest to
the whole country and of special signifi-
entice to the rieonle of the south and west
It marks the end or tlm first .......... of the
slate of Tennessee and closes tho first year
of its second century "shows
“Your exposition better than any
words of mine can tell I ho details of your
wealth of resources and power of produc-
,l„ n
"You have done wisely in exhibiting those | !
to your own people and to your sister state* |
and at no tlmo could tho display bo more !
eiTeetive than now, when what the country
needs more than all else is restored oonff- I I
donee in itself. This exposition demon¬
strates directly your own faith and purpose
and signifies in the widest sense your true
and unfailing belief in tho irrepressible
pluck of tho American people and is a
promising indication of American prosper¬
ity.
“Lot. ourselves and lot them always re¬
member that whatever differences about
polities may have existed, or still exist, wo
are all Americans before we are partisans,
and value the welfare of all the people |
above party or section. Citizens of differ¬
ent states, we yet love all tho states. Tho
lesson of tho hour, then, is this -that what¬
ever adverse conditions may temporarily
impede tho pathway of our national prog¬
ress, nothing can permanently defeat it."
After a musical interlude, Governor
Asa 8. llushnell, of Ohio, was then in¬
troduced, receiving a flattering recep¬
tion, in which the ladies participated
with hands and handkerchiefs.
No more loyal demonstration was
male iu any section or state of the
union than that which helped to make
the day’s festivities memorable.
l’he speech by President McKinley,
the feature of the day, is pronounced
one of the best ever delivered in the
city, and provoked loud apiplause.

The Georgia legislature investigat¬

*
osene oil •i over the xi two i bodies, it set l ti the

Just as Jenkins was about to face
the murderer s pistol rather than stay

ENDS IN VERDICT OF GUILTY.
SENTENCED TO HANG JULY 30.
Tl >e Verdict Approved By Citizens of Pike.
Delk’g Attorney Make Appeal For
New Trial.
The third trial of Tavlor J Delk for
the murder of Sheriff Guinn of Fike
county, Ga., was fended at Zebulon
Thursday night when the jury again
brought in a verdict of guilty, and
Judge ° Beck sentenced Delk to be
lmn b' C(1 on Ju, y 30th.
r I ri he • remained • -i out , 1 T..1 tile

than an hour in deliberating on the

The jury did not even recommend
1hc ol(1 »■»*<» tl,(! m «*cy <’f the court,
fense " as conlicientiy expected by tne de*
- •
The third trial was a repetition of
the two former ones and the evidence
was practically the same. The wit-
nesses who testified in the former
cases were again put on the stand and
they re-told the familiar story about
the attempt of Sheriff Guinn and his
posse to arrest the Delks and the kill-
j ng of the 0 ffi cers j u co]( j blood. They
fi , vore tba t old man Delk was in the
Gp]^ house and a participant in the
c ,.; me wit b his son and Tom Lang-
f 0 rd.
Delk set up the plea that he was not
in tlic house at. the time the sheriff
was shot down in the yard by someone
j (Be house, but he has not been able
to establish his assertion of an alibi.
Three juries have refused to believe
his story and despite his gray locks j
ftll(1 withering form and plea for mercy i
he has again been held responsible for
the crim3 of murder and his life has i
] )een demanded that justice may he
upheld and a dastardly crime avenged,
Delk’s attorneys took exception to j
the verdict and they gave notice that
an application for a new trial will be
made. The plea will be heard by!
Judge Deck on June 25th.
According to report the people v of f
Pike arc satisfied with the verdict and |
that they are firmly convinced of its
correctness. Delk was given a fair |
trial and adjudged guilty after full op-
portunity to establish his innocence,

INVESTIGATING A RIOT.
Carolina Court of Inquiry Gets Under
Way.
The court of inquiry is investigating
the recent riot on the campus of the
South Carolina Stato University.
A good many students and Profes¬
sors Davis, Colcock and Woodard have
been examined at length. Professor
Davis is the member of the faculty
who was struck in the head. The evi¬
dence at Friday’s session was purely
cumulative.
The testimony so far has been averse
to the militia, showing that there was
room enough on the college green for
the ball game and the military inspec-
tion at the same time.
REPRIEVE FOR DURR ANT.
Governor Forced to Delay the Execution
On Technicality.
Theodore Durrant, the murderer of
Blanche Lamont, lias been reprieved,
Governor Budd decided on this course
in order to settle the rights of the fed-
oral courts to interfere in the execu-
tion of a sentence imposed by the state
court.
He has named July 9 as the day upon
which the execution shall be carried
out, The object of the reprieve, as the
attorney general explained, is to avoid
the necessity of resentencing the con-
victed man.
MAY GIVE UP THESSALY.
The Sultan Will Now Probably Withdraw
His Troops.
Advices from Constantinople state
iknt since the conference between the
ambassadors of the powers and Tewfik
Pasha, the Turkish minister of foreign
affairs, the Ottoman officials have been
more conciliatory on the subject of
Thessaly nnd it is now believed that
Turkey will yield on that point and
agree to withdraw her troops.
This change of front is said to be
due to counsels from abroad.

irksome. I consulted the best medical

insufferably bad taste in my mouth, and
though still weak and almost helpless, the
pain in my back and kidneys began to

The Palmetto State; V
The origin of South Carolina’s sobri¬
quet, “the Palmetto State,” is thus
j explained; less than "On June Carolinians, 28,1776, a under force
of 100
command of Moultrie, protected by the
rude fortification on Sullivan’s island, •
in Charleston harbor, made out of the
State of South Carolina was organized
the trunks of the palmetto repulsed the
attack of a British fleet,under command
of Sir Peter Parker, and when the
state seal, which was first used in May,-
1777, was made to commemorate this
victory. A palm tree, growing strength erect on of
the seashore, represents the
the fort, while at its base an oak tree,
torn from the ground and deprived of
its branches , recalls the British fleet
built of oak timber, overcome by the
Dalmetto. ” ... •
