CagIesviile and the County Seat


 The removal and the location of the county seat seems to be vexed question, and one that is renewed in some form with each recurring bien- nial election.
 The central location of Caglesville always brings thIs place prominently before the people, and seems at present to attract unusual attention why this is so no one can tell, except the reasonableness of the matter.
 But we of Caglesviile do not sup pose that the county seat is going to be moved at this time, and were not the starters of the agitation, nay, would not have said or done any thing about the matter but for the report there was being secretly cir culated petitions asking the county court to order an election upon the subject, said petitions containing only the names of Russellville and Atkins; whether this was so or not we do not know, but at the time we supposed it to be true, and appointed

a committee to look into the matter and that's all of 1t, so far as Cagles- vile is concerned.
 But it would seem that the county seat question is not the REAL ques- tion. There was more than one prominent candidate In the county for Legislative honols, and it may be that this matter had something to do with the matter. We of Caglesville are not over anxious about the coun- ty seat, for we know our cause is . just one, and should the county seat ever be moved we are satisfied that we would get it unless undue agen cies were used against us. | Esquire Sugg seems to have created quite sensation by announc- ing himself candidate. Well, if there is anything unusual or irregu- lar about this matter we do not know it; the facts i1 the case are, the citi gems of Caglesville and vicinity held township meeting and asked Els quirs Sugg to go before the people as a candidate for tho legislature, but the impression was tired to be made that Esquire Sugg was the tool of somebody, and that he would not make 2 respectable can vass; we'll, it remains to be seen how strong he will be, but so far as his being used by any party is concern ed, ws only have to say, that Esquire Sugg is too honorable man for that, and it is quite unjust in advance of the canvass to injure him in that way, and we want it bore in mind that we do not charge this upon any one, for we regard the other aspl- rants as honorable men, that would not injure an opponent. nor allow their friends to do 50 If they could help it.

CrncifYing Africans.


In May 1888, Messrs. Moffat and Smith,
surgeons on board a merchant schooner,
went to the city of Great Benin, wishing
to open, or rather reopen, trade. The
latter, Every promising young man."
died Of dysentery caught by being
drenched with rain. They were horri-
fed to see a trench full of bodies at which
the turkey-buzzards were tugging, and
1.-TWO corpses in a sitting position"
These victims had probably been dis
patched with formal message announ-
cling the arrival of strangers to the Kings
father in Ghost-land. The same I'M
pleasant spectacle was offered in August,
1862, when visited Benin, accompanied
by Lieut.. Stokes, of Her Majesty's ship
Bloodhound, and DR.. Henry. In the
tall rank heritage on the right of the
path leading into the city, appeared the
figure of fine young man, bare to the
waist, with arms extended and wrists
fastened to a scafold framework of
peeled wands, poles and stakes planted
behind him. For moment we thought
that the wretch might be alive; few
steps convinced us of our mistake. He
had been crucifed after the African
fashion, seated on rough wooden stool,
with white calico cloth yelling the
lower limbs. Between the ankles stood
an uncouth image of yellow clay, con-
corning which the frightened native who
accompanied us would not speak. A
rope of LLAMA, in negro English called
''tie-tie," bound tight around the neck
to stake behind, had been the immedi-
ate cause of d ,ath. The features still
showed strangulation, and the sacrifice
was so fresh that, though the flies were
there, the turkey buzzards had not found
the eyes. The blackness of the skin and
the general appearance proved that the
sufferer was a slave. No emotion what
ever, save holding the nose, was showed
by the crowds of Beninese, men and wo-
men, who passed by, nor was there any
expression of astonishment. - C07mhil

President Hayes has had the ambition
to make, during his term in office, the
collection of portraits of presidents,
from Washington to Grant inclusive,
complete in the White House. Eight
which were lacking have been added
since his Inauguration, including one Of
Andrew johnson, which is not yet quite
finished. The portraits added are those
of Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Gen
erals jackson, Harrison, Tyler, and Tay-
lor, James Buchanan and Andrew john
son. Those of the other presidents were
already included in the collection. The
new portraits have been painted from the
best original portraits OF miniatures that
could be obtained, but in the case OF
President johnson a photograph only
could be found. That of Harrison was
copied from the only portrait that could
be obtained Of him, which had been
painted on the back of an old portrait of
some one else. 1t seems the artist, for
some reason, could secure at the time he
was compelled to make the portrait no
other canvas except that, one side of
which had already been used. Most of
the portraits recently added have been
painted by E. f. Andrews, who is also
the artist of the tull-length portrait of
Martha Washington which was purchas-
ed by Congress last winter rs compan-
ion piece for the full-length portrait of
Gen. Washington which was hung in
the White House since before the war of
1912, being the same which Mrs. Madison
caused to be carried out of the building
and preserved from destruction when she
fled from the advancing British. -Bazdr.
