J\ A A POTATOJJUEL The Rev. Mr. Bowman Accepted the Challenge NAMED THE WEAPONS. He Fired six Shots at the Des perado and hit him Every S h ot Ta te rs a n d S pecta tors Were too Much for a Bully. Cue way of combating an eviel practice is to make it ridiculous. It was by this means that dueling was stopped in a certain district of Kentucky some 40 years ago, At that time a traveling preach er named Bowman a strong mus cular man was canducting a senes of religious meetings in Kentucky. At jne of them a well known des perate character created a disturb ance, and being publicly rebuked by Bowman sent him a challenge to fight. The preacher’s first thought was to treat the matter with silent con tempt. Then he reflected that dueling was all too . common in that region, and he decided to ac cept the challenge. As the challenged party, Bowman had the choice of weapons. He selected a half bushel of large Irish potatoes and stipulated that his oppoent must stand 15 paces distant, and that only one potato at a time should be takt n from th* measure. The desperado was furious but Bowman insisted uoon his rights as the challenged party and threat ened to denounce the fellow as a coward if he made further objec tions. Seeing no way out of the scrapethe desperado at last con sented . The contest took place on the outskirts of town, and almost ev erybody in the place turn* d out to see the fun. The seconds arranged the two men in position, by the. side of each being a half bushel measrure filled with good sized po tatoes. Bowman threw the first one. it struck his opponent in a central spot and fell in pieces. A shout of delight went up from the crowd which flurried the desperado, and his potato flew wide of the m, rk. Bowman watched his ch nee, and every time his opponent stoop ed for a potato another one hit him in the side, leavingja wet spot on his clothes and then scattering on all sides. The feliow was hit in this way five times. Then the sixth potato struck him in the short ribs, and he lay on the grass doubled up with pain and groan ing, “Enough I” The bystanders went wild with delight, but Mr. Bowman looked very sober. The desperado was ta ken and put to bed, and there he staid for more than a week, and when he again appeared he was greeted with so many jokes that life was almost a burden to him. That was the end of dueling in that region.

Tom Watson is Charged With Dic tating to the Pops OF THE BLOODY SEVENTH McGarrity'Said tc Have Ordered out of the Race for the nomination- His Friends Indignant- Watson a Czar Atlauta,Ga., Au g. 18.—The fine Italian hand of Tom Watso ll seems to have' opened a Pandora box among the Populists of the ‘Seventh Congressional Distrot. He is charged with foisting Dr. Fqlkm’s no miration for Congress bn the party, and some of the faith ul are sorely wrought up. Reliable information from the district is to the effect that a majority of the convention which nominated th' doctor was for Mr.. McGarri jy, of Paulding, but that a mandatory etter tc th at gentleman from the manager of Tom Watson’s paper told him to utep down and out in favor of Seab Wright, or Dr. Fel ton. His friends are as mad as wet lens, ami they are characterizing the resourceful Tommie as' the “czar/’dictaftor.” etc. A thing that the Pipulists cart forget is the doctor’s Lite cyciorTic attacks on the party he is to lead. He is too fresh .from the camns of the persecutors, they think for lim to protect the jewel of consist ency, when *'fool” Democrats be gin to fire questions. - They cannot m ike ' up their minds, however, -hat the doctor is in the race to stay, but tfiat he is a sort of superanuaded stool pigeon whom “ill-health” will retire at a convenient time in the interest of Seab Wright, whom Tom Watson is anxious to see get along well.
