We take the following from an es-
teemed cotemporary whose editor seems
to be an aspirant for political offlce. IL
is only abundant and further evidence
that to edit and run newspaper is
about as much as one man can do, ana
where he undertakes to. be a candidate
he has little too much on his hands.
Of course editors have right to be
candidates for office, and to hold polit-
ical Office, and we do not propose to
lecture our brother any further than he
has lectured himself:
AN APOLOGY.
Owing to the editors active particl-
sDation in the county canvass for the
past week or so he has been unable to
give the that attention which 1t
needs and deserves. He hopes, how
ever, that it's subscribers will excuse
him under the circumstances. He
promises to make the paper fairly
tsboom' with interesting news when
the primary election is over.

ROME, Ga, June 2s.-The last spike
in the Chattanooga, Rome and Column
bus railroad, was driven in this city
yesterday, amid screams of locomo-
tives and steamboat whistles and the
cheers of a great multitude of citizens.
The road is completed to Carrollton,
Ga, and is 140 miles long. The first
shovel of dirt was thrown on Deem
Der /, 1887, and the last yesterday.
This is asserted to be the fastest rail-
road building done in the south. The
line will continue on to Columbus,
Ga, thence to Savannah.

A Boys Dark Deed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June pa

A Traitor Dead.

ELKToN, Mo-, June 29.-Thomas B.
Lincoln, the only person tried for
treason during the war of the rebel
lion, died yesterday at his farm here,
aged IS years. He was born in Phila-
delphia, and after the annexation of
Texas, went there as agent of New
York capitalists, and amassed large
fortune. He took active interest in the
politics of the day, and was leading
member of the Knights of the Golden
Circle, whose agent he was in the
northwest, in which capacity he was
arrested in Cincinnati in 1862, and put
on trial for treason. A letter found in
his possession from Senator Bright, of
Indiana, to jefferson G. Davis, was
the cause of Bright's expulsion from
the United States senate. The indict-
ment for treason was quashed and
afterward he came north, settling in
this vicinity.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.
An Interesting Meeting Held to
Consider the Means Of
Success

A meeting was held last night in
the hall of the Alamo pavilion, to con-
slider the ways and means for the re-
ception of the ex-confederates at the
confederate reunion to be held in this
city on August 1st, End and 3rd.
There was fair attendance of citi-
zens and all seemed interested in the
affair.
Major Teel assured the citizens that
it was the apathy of the people
not the money, that threatened to re-
move the reunion to Fort Worth.
Four thousand dollars had already
been promised and he had no doubt
that he would be able to raise the
other four thousand dollars necessary
for expenses, but if the reunion was
to be the success, it should be, the COM
mittees must faithfully discharge
the duties assigned to them.
He believed that if one fare rate for
the round trip was given on the vari-
GUS railroads, there would be such
reunion as was never seen in the
south. He suggested that the COM
energetic man to act for them in pre-
liminary arrangements and the COM
mittee will consider that question at
their meeting this morning.
There seems to be no doubt that
sufficient interest has been excited in
the work to secure the means and vol
unteer aid necessary to make re-
union grand success. 1t should be,
for it will doubtless be worth thous-
ands of dollars to the city.

Judge Brewer, issued yesterday, for

Mr.. Day, who was in town, when it

When seen later in the evening he
said: II am satisfied with the turn
affairs have taken. I have some
doubts myself as to the propriety of
all the steps taken and shall be glad
to see the matter brought to compe-
tent test in the courts.

PROMISED HALF A DOLLAR.
How the Bosses Carried Their Pre-
cincts--"Do as Do"

cinctS--"Do as Do"
At the last meeting of the demo-
cratic primaries, held to choose dele
selected names to attend the state and
congressional conventions, q novel
plan was adopted to carry out the
wishes of the bosses. In two of the
precincts across the San Pedro, the at
tendance was not as large as desired,
or probably the opposition was lit
tie in the majority, SO several police
men were dispatched to drum up q
crowd. One of the policemen named
Stevens (cOlOred) came up to the sa-
loon on the corner of Laredo and West
Commerce streets, where there are al
ways at night congregated some
forty or fifty colOred men loating, and
Stevens said, "Boys, do you want to
work and make halfdollar for about
an hour?n
Eyes sir, whereof answered about
thirty, almost in one voice.
well, follow me-" replied Stevens!
A great crowd followed the officer,
who marched them down to where
the precinct meeting was being held.
On the outside at the door Stevens
halted his crowd of laborers (?)
and said: "Boys, we will have
to vote on this question to see how
much pay you are to get. So when
ever I stand up and boiler out a."
and when sit down and say "nO," do
just as 1 do. The work (?) hunters
agreed, and that precinct was carried
unanimously with whoop. The
crowd was then treated to glass of
beer, and turned over to an admins
tration leader, who took them up to
another meeting and carried it with a
hurrah.
Those darkies got in their work (?)
but are still looking for the man who
had promised to pay fifty cents an
hour for their time.
The above is only given as one of
the many little tricks used by the
"Ringsters" to carry their point and
override the respectable element of
their party and show what we may ex-
pect to contend with during the COM
ing county and city elections.
