WASHINGTON, July 18th.
A Democratic caucus was held in
the hall Of the House tonight. About
seventy members were present. who
considered the subject Of the bill
making appropriations for sundry civ
il expenses of the Government, and,
in order to remove the only obstruc.
ton in the way Of the agreement Of
the Conference Committee, it was
agreed that the House should retire
from their amendments repeating the
provisions of the Revised Statutes re-
lating to the registration Of voters
and the appointment of Supervisors
Of Elections and Special Deputy Mar
shals, and touching the supervision Of
elections. This insures the PASSAGE
of the bill, in which the saving of a
million dollars will be effected; but
the agreement does not settle the prin.
ciple involved in the other bills now
in Conference.
The caucus also discussed political
questions in connection with louisiana,
South Carolina and Alabama. 1t was
stated that the President might use
the military to influence the election
in these States, but no means were

The riot was caused by the whites,
aud was attended with the atrocity Of

blood. Chamberlain says the punish
nent of the offenders was demanded
~ the honor Of the State. These RI
ITS, which took place from time to

dread Of negroes rising. In

AN OLD SETTLERS YARN.
Row Billy Mckinney Hap.
pened not to Serve in the
War of 1912.

Seeing request from you for itemI
concerning our old men, I will give you q
few items of one of the first settlers of our
county. The subject of this sketch,
Billy Mckinney, was born in--coupty,
~ G., about the year 1892. His father
emigrated to this county when he was
three years old, bringing Billy and a
sister two years older in couple of ham.

same horse carried the household and
kitchen furniture besides, and wus led by
the cid lady, the father CARRYING q rifle
with which he supplied their daily pro,
visions. lie reached this county in the
fall of 1895, and settled on Clear Creek
where he spent his time between cultiva>
ting small farm and hunting. Billy
grew up much as other young men of the
country, and though he may have been
proof against hardship and rough living,
yet he was not against the smiling face
and black eyes of Miss Polly Alexander,
a ayouEg lady who lived near by. In fact
he was completely captivatcd As many
OF the young men Of the present day do,
he seemed to live only in her smiles But
alas! for human happiness-the cause of
true love never did run smooth. Although
he had proposed and been accepted, lust
before the time for them to be married
there came a call from the Governor for
troops, and as bad luck would have it,
Billy was drafted. When the fatal day
arrived for the rendezvous Billy went over
to take leave of his lady love, but found
it simply impossible. An officer sent a
sergeant with posse after him, with
orders to bring him right aleng. as they
had to start Immediately for New Orleans
The house in which Miss Polly lived was
a small cabin, one room, one door, pun
cheon floor and clapboard roof. The
furniture was in keeping with the house
straiGht-post bedsteai, three>lcgged stools
with no backs aud other things on the
same order. When the sergeant was in
fifty yards Of the house the dog barked,
and Billy went to the door and was seen
by the whole party. They all thought
they had him sure enough ,and so thought
Billy. The latter walked back to the
fire, told Polly it was up with him. But
there is many a slip between the cup and
the lip, especially where woman is con.
,el ned, and that sergeant reckoned with
,ut his host, for there was never a more
striking instance of the ready wit of
woman in case of emergency. She told
Billy to sit down in the corner and draw
lis feet up under him, then she sat down
m his head and shoulders, spread her
'kirts over him, completely concsaling
lin, and went to knitting away as calmly
IS if she had been sitting on one of the
hroe.legged stools, as indeed the con-
cripting party thought she was. The
ilicer searched the cabin from top to bot
ON, and though he knew he saw him, he

he next day, and Billy was left, and lost
n opportunity of distinguishing himself
n the battle of New Orleans. but he mar.
led Polly and was still living few years
go.

A Dictionary Wanted.

A Chicago woman who had been read

paper turned to her husband, last eve-
ming, and inquired;
"My dear, what DO the papers mean by
saying that man has 'squealed?
why, replied the man loftily, "they

'peached' on the rest"
"Peached on the rest" exclaimed the
wife; "now what does that mean?"
why, it meoDs that he's-hes blow,
