A WORD FOR GRAHAM
by ONE WHO KNOWS HIM WELL
And Who Predicts That He Will
Emerge From His Troubles All
RIghf-The Cause of Them.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
Who is there in this city Of c. 900
inhabitants who has no. noticed the
false name piveu to John W. Graham
in the Arglanche of Sundays is .u9?
Who is thee, knowing the facts 10 the
case as | DO, can say Tat John w.
Graham, on the 4th Of July, left tie
city osteusi5ly to visit friends in chi.
cage, but subsequently skipped to
Canada to be safe from the hands OF
the law; that it is mystery as to
what he did with the money, especial
ly to those whom he so vilely de-
ceived? That it is the old story. An
exemplary ESQ called young man rob-
bling hit friends and skipping to Can
ada. ask my readers to picture
to Themselves brother in dan
ger of imprisonment for life,
probably, or death on the gallows,
and then to ask himself would he not
procure at any cost money to save
him. John w. Graham has abrother;
although wild one, a brother still. A
short while ago, as it is we'll known,
he killed man in self defense in
Waco, Tex. With money on the
other side to convict, and, II possible,
TO hang, it became necessary to raise
money to defend his brother in a time
of need. He, rs true brother, with a
heart filed with anguish, took step
to procure the money, which in the
eyes OF come, but which in the eyes OF
true man, will never make appear as
the great (2) the good () Audldache
pictures him. Some may say, how do
| know this when Graham ia in Can
adaP John W. Graham made salary
OF $3.50 q month. Who will say he
did not live up to his income2 But
who will say he lived over itP
Did not the papers in this city
say in an interview with Jesse
Graham that his brother came down
handsomely TO save his life, and here
ask you my reader what true brother
would not have done 30. That John
Graham went to Chicago is true, and
there laying his case before supposed
friend, he asked him 10 lend nm the
amount OF the shortage. This the party
said he would do. But hound that he
was, he held him up until the last
moment, aud he said: "No; you can't
get IT," Too late to catch the train
home, he, in fit .of1desperation, did
go to Canada. But there, | hope and
trust,he will not long remain. Would
he have sent home his life insurance
policy for security had he been intent
on robbingP i say no. Would he have
gone to Canada on a free pass and with
empty pockets had he been theft /
say emphatically no; as such he did
not 20.
Thank God, he has true and noble
wife, who will bear him up In this and
all other trials OF this life. Although
he has a host OF friends and blood
relatives grief. stricken on account Of
the publicity given the affair, ! will
venture to say that at no very distant
date John w. Graham, like the sun,
will appear from his hiding place
more radiant than before and with an
.untarnished name. JUSTICE.

lutely unable to swallow. His lower
limbs and left side are paralyzed and
the only sign OF life about him is the
heavirg of his chest and the peculiar
rafting noise from his throat above
described. The room in which he lies
and where the dreadful ahot was fred,
is on the first floor OF the building,
about three feet above the level of the
ground. 1t is the rear room, with enc
window opening upon the east ard
another UPON the south. The room is
very small ard the two beds that ere
placed there almost fill up the avail
aSle space, with just margin enough
to move about in. The bsd in which
the wounded man lay is pear the ess.
window, with its head to the east.
The bed next to it, and separated from
it by space Ct ten inches, is as placed
with its head to the east ana is the
one occupied by Mrs. Erich and the
children when the shot was fred.
Both beds are very low, the one u.s.
ually occupied by Mr.. Erich being
only about Is inches from the floor.
while the adjoining bed is about 10
inches higher. A blue tapestried
screen stood in the aisle between the
two beds. The wound from which
the patient suffers is very ugly one,
the ball having entered the very CEN
ter Of the forehead, near the edge Of
the scalp, penetrating the frontal
bone, and ranging leftward lodged
in the brain. Beyond extracting a
portion of the ball, weighing about
eighteen grains, no effort has been
successful 10 remove the leaden mis-
sile. The ball is still in the brain, and
likely to remain there until death ter
inmates the unfortunate mans life.
When the reporter left the patient
last night his cond' ton indicated no
material change from what ii has been
since the first examination. His tenn
perature was 1929, and his physician
was unable to say how long he might
linger. 1t was not even certain whether
he would live through the night, but
there were no certain symptoms OF
immediate dissolution.

led TO 3@4 points decline. The SELL

and there seemed to be especial abil-
ity to take care Of August contracts,

Oh and Drug Reporter: "The cotton
seed oil market is firm, but it, is still
some distance away from the figures
reached this time last year. Holders
are unanimous in the opinion that
prices are going higher, but the de-
mand has fallen of and support Is
lacking from that quarter. One no
ticeable feature OF the past few weeks
has been the fact that sellers have
positively declined to yield from their
views, although buyers would have
taken larger quantities at fraction
under ruling figures. The market
also receives strength from the outside
spectators who bought when values
we're considerably lower, but the
amount held on speculative account 10
not thought TO be large. Crude supplies
on this market are light and
offerings in the primary mark
cts are few. The conclusion
formed from present circumstances
would indicate a higher market, II
prime crude is actually scarce as re.
ported. There is a suspicion that
some parties are holding prime oil
until the market gives them an oppor-
tunity to unload at good figures, but
the remainder OF the season is only
limited TO a few weeks, aud II the cot
ton crop comes out all right, II will
probably have depressing effect upon
oil values. Ii is safe to say that the
quality Of the oil next season will be
much superior, as most Of the mills
ara in other hands aud more attention
will be paid to the seed before crush

AFFRAY AT RALEIGH.
One Young Man Seriously Stabbed
"A General Melee.

A game OF base ball at Raleigh last
Sunday wound up with general
fight, which may prove fatal to at
least one of the participants. 1t APP
pears that a young man named Gay,
who lives In the city, went out to
Raleigh with party OF his friends
Sunday, and was standing looking on
at a game OF ball being played between
some OF his party and a Raleigh nine,
when he was ordered, in rather in
sultipg tone, to get out OF the way.
He declined, and drew his knife;
several boys crowded around him
but did not attack him. He went of
and returned with john A. Taylor and
Charles Hodges, and made descent
ON the crowd. Taylor stabbed John
Dolan in the back, the blade pene-
trating to the hollow. He also cut
Tom Dolan; one or two others were
slightly wounded in the melee. Taylor
spIang on bis horse Immediately after
doing the cutting, and escaped. Tom
Maury drew q pistol and snapped it at
Gay, and was afterwar arrested and
fined $25. John Dolan resides with
bis father on Robson street, this city.
He is badly hurt, and DR.. Duncan,
who was Immediately called, thinks
his recovery doubtful.

MISSISSIPPI POLITICS

CALHOUN COUNTY has instructed for
F. G. Barry, the present incumbent,
for Congress.
Col. F. A. TYLER, editor of the
Holly Springs Solth, is a candidate for
Mayor of Holly Springs.
THE Democratic Convention of the
Fourth Congressional District will
meet at Winona, September I'd. Hon.
F. G. Barry will probably be renomi-
mated.
BARKsDALE and Hooker are havinga
hot fight for the Congressional nomi-
nation In the Seventh District, and the
indications are that Hooker will get
the prize.
The Republican Congressional Ex-
ecutive Committee met in Greenville
July OH and resolved that oonven-
ton meet on August 9TH for the pur-
pose OF nominating candidate for the
Third Congressional District, and that
each County Executive Committee be
directed to call q meeting OF the sew
eral county conventions on July 3lst
to elect delegates to the district con-
vention.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the First Congressional District
OF Mississippi held meeting at Aber-
deem last Monday, and determined
upon Thursday, September I'd, as the
time and Starkville as the place OF
holding the district convention for
nominating candidate for Congress.
All the counties in the district-Tisho-
mingo, Alcorn, Prentiss, Lee, TIA
wanda, Monroe, Lowndes and Oktib-
beha-were represented in person or
by proxy, and the proceedings were
harmonious throughout.
THE New Orleans Evening States Of
last Tuesday, the 18th inst, says that q
spirited contest Is going on in the
Sixth District Of Mississippi for the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Judge II. S, Van Eaton, OF Wilkinso n
county, is the present member and is
serving his second term. From his boy
hood, through thick and thin, in and
out OF season, in the halcyon days OF
Democracy before the war, and during
the dark and seemingly hopeless era OF
carpetbsggery, when to be a Demo-
crat was to be politically ostracised,
Judge Van Eaton has always been a
fearless, outspoken, incorporating
Democrat. Indeed, il we were asked
to point out our model Of Democrat,
and Van Eaton was in reach, we
should put our finger on him, and
without taking the trouble to go fur
ther, cay "there is the man."

Tho DWxers In the Lcad.

In 1885 the Dwyer stable won $S7,-
0O0, which was an increase of $24,CJ0
over the preceding year. These are
amounts In round figures. This year
it has already won,up to date, $ll4, $40.
Deducting the stable forfeits and those
unCollectable would reduce the figure
below 100000. Only nine OF the
horses which they have started failed
TO earn brackets. The chief bread
winners are Inspector B. fremont and
Mis- Woodfoid, In the order named.
fremont has won at every asking, and
now has eleven races to bis credit.
His engagements are numerous, and
there is possibility that he will
eclipse the record OF The Bard in Eng
land last season. The Bard started six
teen times and was not beaten. In many
OF his engagements fremont will be
required TO concede weight; in some
he will be called upon to take up
penalties. The stable, however, Is
rstong in two year old timber; 80 it ia
OF probable that fremont will take
up the penalties II others can be sent
out and maintain its prestige. The
Messrs. Dryer are indisputably the
best managers OF the turf, and they
know Just where and when to place
their horses, young and old, to sdvan-
tage. They have made no mistake so
far, and there is no likelihood they will
make any with fremont. Honorable
in all their dealings, these plucky
American sportsmen are richly de-
serving OF the fame and substantial
success they have achieved.

LIVELY CHASE
Fer a Black Brute at Midnight
Along the Bayou Banhs.

About IL O'Clock Sunday night a
party of excursionists who were re-
turning home, when passing along
Poplar street near the market house,
heard woman scream and saw a big
buck darby jump out OF the door OF
one Of the shanties along the bank Of
the bayou. A little old gray
haired man was observed to
spring from a pallet near the
door and ,seizing a stick, dash away in
pursuit. The crowd joined in, but the
fugitive had too good a start to be
overtaken. 1t appeared that the au-
thor of the scream was the wife of
the man who had been the first to
spring up and give chase. The room
was too warm for him and he went
outside to sleep. His wife remained
within and was awakened by black
about her couch. She cried aloud and
sprang from her bed and fled.
