The July Wide AUqke celebrates in yari-
Gus charming ways the arrival Of the great
American holiday. T. s. Brooks, in his
story, when George the Third was King
gives Us an inside view Of the famous
Declaration Of Independence" showing
that the first Independence Day was cele-
brated on the Eighth" instead Of the
Fourth" To use the authors own words
Instead Of one Fourth Of July you see
we have really four The Second Of July,
upon which Mr. Lees Resolution Of Inde-
pendence was passed by the Congress; the
the Third Of July upon which the Declara-
ton itself was passed the Fourth Of July
which witnessed the order for its proclama-
ton, and the Second Of August upon which
it was actually sigDed by the members Of
the Congress. Margaret Sydney has an il-
ustrated Ballad, The Minute Man" The
Ballad Is the story Of "The Shot heard
round the World and Sandham's illustra-
tions are As spirited as the poem itself.
Another historic story Of the Beginnings
Of Independence" is by Mrs. Demeritt, en-
titled "The First Blow for American Lib
erty," and relates to the famous Bunker
Hill powder Still another Fourth OF
July article Is the jolly story by Margaret

A Congressmans Co,c Trade.

Representative O'Neill, of Missouri, is
a yeritable son of the soil. Among his
constituents he is a granger himself. His
district lies in the upper part Of st. Louis,
but as it embraces the billy goat and gar
den-truck suburbs Of the metropolis Of
the Mississippi, his constituency Is some
what rural. To this element O'Neill has
long been a walking encyclopedia Of in
formation concerning crops and live stock.
During the last campaign, while visiting,
he met one of his farmer constituents,
driving a COW. He at once began to air
his knowledge of bovine breeds. In the
height of his enthusiasm he offered to
buy the COW. The farmer was not anx-
ious to sell, but said he would take $50
for her
Drive her up to my house" said
ONeill, "and III be there to pay you the
money"
The farmer regretted that he had con-
sented to part with his favorite COW, and
said LET me tell you, Mr.. o'Neill, the
COW is a gentle creature and a good milk
er, but she has no upper teeth"
"Of course that changes the trade"
said Mr.. ONeill. "You wouldn't ex-
pect me b take COW with such a defect
as that, but bring me good milker with
sound upper teeth, and I'll buy her"
When the story got out there was great
excitement in the cabbage end Of his dis
trict. The grangers swore they would
not have a Congressman who was blamed
fool enough to believe that COWS had up
per teeth. - Washington RepuJtcGn.

from his Office for not closing up over
a hundred saloons which are stated as

inevitable that they will have TO sweat
severely for their temerity.

lected by the Legislature. This complaint
necessarily involved the idea of increased
appropriations in the interest of agriculture.
1t was not the amount of taxes that was
complained of, but the manner of their ap-
preparation. People do not object to taxes
when those taxes are so appropriated and
disbursed by the State as to give them a
fair and just return.
Anderson Journal
The deliberations of the convention will
doubtless effect good, not so much by speci-
fic suggestions as by the impression that the
masses are thinking and they are not salts
fed with the way things are going. The
convention was not as extreme and rash as
many expected it would be, and it was far
more dignified than many local spectators
looked for. A good many of those present
were familiar faces in the Legislature and
State conventions, but the great majority
were new men sent up from among the peo-
pie. There was nc apparent effort to adj
vance the chances of any candidate. MIR:
Academy as a "dude factory" was one of his
most telling hits. 1t was stricken from the
record, but the sting was left, and he is
therefore cordially hated by the ardent ad-
vOcateS of that Institution. Nearly the
whole convention seemed to regret the un-
warranted snub they gave the Governor,
and the Goals of fire he heaped on them
burned uncomfortably. The recommended
tions of the convention tend largely to an
increase in public expense rather than re-
trenchment. While Mr.. Tillman was evil
IDENTIFY regarded as the leader in the con-
vention, he was still kept somewhat in
check by the conservatism of the body at
large. They patted him on the back, but
took care to rub off some of his wire edge.

FIRE NEAR TOWN.

On Thursday night last a small unoccupied
tenement house on the lands Of Sheriff Glenn,
about a mile from town was destroyed by fire.
No one has lived in the house since February.
1t was situated about two hundred yards from
the house in which n. D. White, an employee of
the Sheriff lives, and on the night of the fire
Mr.. White and all the members of his family
were absent. While the house was burning,
Mr.. Whites dwelling was entered and a guam
tity Of bed clothing, a suit of clothes belonging
to Mr.. White and a dress belonging to his wife
were taken. The Sheriff has no clue as to the
origin of the fire, but he says there was a bag Of
cotton seed in the house, and it is just barely
possible that it caused spontaneous combustion.

THE OHIO SENATE.

On Thursday last all the Democratic Sen
ators of the Ohio Legislature absented
themselves from the Senate, leaving that
body without a quorum to act upon the
committees report unseating four Cincin-
natl Democratic Senators. Fourteen of
the twenty absenting Senators arrived at
Chattanooga on Friday morning. They
they left the State of Ohio in order to
get beyond the Jurisdiction of process that
might be issued by the sergeant at arms of
the Senate. They state that they are
merely standing by their constitutional
rights and have no intention or disposition
to obstruct legislation that the appropri-
alton bill has been passed and all impor-
tant measures disposed of, and they now
leave the Senate to preserve the Constitu-
ton of their State and defeat the plans of
scheming politicians. On Friday the Re-
publican members adopted resolutions seat
ing the Republican contestants.

THE STATE BOUNDARY,

We recently published from the Charlotte o.
servera paragraph mentioning the fact that Gov
ernor Scales, of North Carolina, had appointed
Capt. S. b. Alexander a commissioner to inves-
tigate the alleged inaccuracy of the State line
between North and South Carolina, along the
southern border of Mecklenburg county. The
Raleigh NewS and Observer has the following as
the latest step taken in the matter:
NJ Arthur Winslow goes to Charlotte on
Monday, to run the boundary line between
North Carolina and South Carolina, on the bor-
der of Mecklenburg. If a map Of this State is
examined it will be noticed that a very queer
little angle in South Carolina projects into this
State, like a spear head, as if intended to pierce
North Carolina. 1t is said that this little angle,
which is really not so very small, of right, is
North Carolina territory. The survey, a very
careful one, is to be made under the supervision
of commissioners representing North Carolina
and South Carolina. 1tlooks very probable that
Mecklenburg countyw will get a good sliceo of York
county, $. CO.

Bail in each Ease was fixed at $500, and all
the prisoners were remanded to Jail. 1t is
expected that the grand jury, which meets
May 18th, will indict a large number of
others, including many we'll known persons.
The number to be indicted is estimated at
over one hundred. Order now prevails in
the city and no more outbursts are antici-
pated. On the same day Of the trouble at
Chicago there was rioting at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and the militia, which had been
ordered out, fired upon a body of Socialists
or Anarchists, killing six. In several other
Western cities labor organizations are maxi
ing demonstrations, but there are now no
indications that they will lead to bloodshed.
It is a significant fact that all engaged IN
these disturbances are foreigners, many OF
them of but short residence in this country.
The proper administration of justice to
those now in the hands of the law would
probably have q wholesome effect.

Mr.. J. Eugene Lowry, Of Atlanta, Ga, is on

THE GROWING CROPS.

Our information in regard to the growing
crops Of the county is to the effect that wheat is
quite promising. The oat crop is unusually
fine, especially where the plant withstood the
severity of the winter and a good stand was OBJ
tanned. Corn is coming up we'll and with the
last few days of growing weather the young
stalk is vigorous and healthy. Reports of cot
ton are not so favorable. The plant is slow in
coming up and presents rather a weak and sick
ly appearance. An abundant crop of all kinds
of fruit is now assured. =

Having thus far refused to tell the story
of the crime for which the courts of the
commonwealth have said that he must die,
it is very likely that he will still keep the
awful secret until the last spark of hope is
eXtinguished.
The action of the Supreme Court will
doubtless be certified to the busting court
before the June term, and when that is
done the prisoner will be brought before
