A dispatch from Montgomery,
Ala, dated on the 18th instant,
says: This evening, on the Sell
ma train, the conductor ordered a
negro out of the ladies' car. On
his refusal to go, the conductor
took the negro by the arm TO force
him out. Busteed. United States
District Judge, took sides with the
negro aud drew pistol and told
him not to go. Busteed and the
negro left the car and soon returned
with some twenty negroes and took
possession of the ladies car
There were only three ladies and
one gentleman in the car. Two
white Republicans on the train
persuaded the negroes to return,
after they had held possession of
the car for some time. Great liz
dignation is manifested at such
conduct OH the part of an United
States Judge

There is an instance recorded
at Bordeaux, in l772, OF a gentle
man who had been married sixteen
times. A woman named Eliza
beth Nase, who died in Florence, in
1768, had been married to seven
husbands. She was at the ripe
age of seventy when last led to
the hymenial altar, and contrived
to survive her beloved" When
on her deathbed, it is stated, she
recalled the good and bad points
of each of her husbands, and hav-
ing impartially weighed in her mind
the pros and cons,s she determined
that the fifth claimed the highest
merit, and ordered that her grave
be with his. In l76S redoubta-
BILE pair were living in Essex, who
had been married eighty-one years
the husband being one hundred
aud seven years old and bis spouse
only four years his junior.

Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh

But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who'd watch life's last departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothe my spirit on its way
With holy prayer?
What mourner round my bier will come
In weeds of woe,
And follow me to my long home,
Solemn and slow
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who there, by pure affection led,

BY the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast
And bid it cheer my dark repose,
My lonely rest ?
Could but know, when I am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
AS if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs Of death
And light the tomb.
Yes in that hour, if I could feel
From halls Of glee
And beanty's presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit and weep by me
In nights deep noon,

No other boon.
But ah lonlier fate is mine,

Middle, Southern and Western
States. A dreadful tornado
passed over the city of Charles
ton, South Carolina, which was
marked in its course by des-
truction and death. Several
hurricanes were experienced off
the American coasts which dis
masted and otherwise severely
injured many vessels at sea, and
some were totally wrecked
A violent shock Of earthquake,
felt at Nashville, Tenn, in Oc-
tober, 1911, caused great dam
age. But it was in the West
Indies and South America that
the heaviest calamities occurred.
The city Of Caracas was almost
entirely destroyed by an earth
quake, and over $4,000 of the
inhabitants killed. A terrible
volcano burst out near the Is
land of ST. Michael's. From
the immense quantities of lava,
ashes and rocks thrown up
from this volcano a new island
was formed several miles in
circumference. The disturbance
in the Mississippi ceased coin
cident with the earthquake at
Caracas.
OUR GRANDFATHERS' OPINIONS.
The opinion as to the causes
of these violent outbreaks that
prevailed among American sci
entific men over sixty years
since, was that they were pro-
duced by terrestrial and celestial
electricity; that from the pow
erful affinity of the two fluids
the violent efforts of electricity
to escape from the earth pro-
duced earthquakes. The rava-
ges cf tornadoes, hurricanes and
storms that occurred during the
appearance Of the comet must
have had some causes, and that
it was evident that they were
physically produced either i'm
mediately or remotely, by an
extra mundane agency, for there
was no matter on the earth pos
sessing sufficient power to COM
bine so much phenomena in so
short a time. So the conclusion
was that the comet was the
cause Of all the trouble of 1911. |
But the gaseous nature Of the !
meteor was we'll understood
Possessing this unsubstantial
character, it might be as well TO
attempt to ascertain how far a
cloud, driven against a noun
tain, will tend to break off its |
top as speculate upon any dam
ger to the earth f,om collision
with a comet. The effect of |
such a meeting would be the
mixture Of its gaseous matter
with the atmosphere and proba-
bic rise in the barometer, though
there is no evidence TO make
it probable that all the comets
in existence, if put together,
would make a mass sufficient 10
produce a sensible effect Of the
kind. If, however, the gaseous
matter should condense suffi-
ciently to descend to the lower
regions of our atmosphere, some
effect might be produced on an
imal and vegetable life, as like
ly good as bad.

Let us have our say.

Since we have announced to the people

would sell our goods at cost for period
OF sixty DAYS; AMI whereas We have hon
estly set forth in figures the extreme low
prices of some articles of merchandise, in
an open manner, and as any merchant
should not be ashamed To do has so
severely injured the feelings of one Of
our neighboring firms, who have seen tt
to get their back up" about it, and TO
openly proclaim and accuse, thro ugh the
press and otherwise, that we have been
and are dealing falsely with our custom
ers-and others who patronize us--to a
certain extent. As regards selling pair
of gloves that cost us $1.00 at Wholesale
for 70 cents, we would say that IL is ths
truth, and nobody is the looSer but our
selves; and we only for the time being
in the end we loose nothing, for by doing /,
this We are meeting with the appreciation
of the public, and at the same time are
disposing of an article that perhaps would |
have had to be packed away while the |
money invested in it would remain idle |
until next winter; whereas, if we can sell |
them now, even at less than cost, WE CAN
TURN THE SAME CAPITAL OVER TWO OR ,
THREE TIMES, in other goods, on lrhich |
zee can make .fair profit before winter
again sets in, when the gloves woId
again be in demand 1t is not only so
with pair of gloves, but everything else
in the line of trade; and nobody can fail
to see the consistency of our story. We
don't ask SIS for coat that we can now
furnish for SO; although $lS may have
been the price of the same coat last fall.
