Circumstances Which Suggested the Com.
position of This Popular Song.

This patriotic song by Frunri, Scott
| Kcv WAS written in 1874 d uring the
bombardmcnt of Fort MclIenry. BY
authority of President Madison, Key
had g0nC to the British fleet under q
| flag of truce tN secure the rVtFHsC Of
his friend. DR.. Beancs, who was de-
tanned prisoner on the flagship. The
British agreed to the release, but not
until after the proposed attack on
Fort McHcnry, which the Admiral
boasted he would carry in few
hours. Key was detained in the
English feet with his friend, the ship
that bore them being anchored at the
mouth of the PatapscO, within full
view of the fort They watched the
flag Of the fort during the entire day,
and when the night prevented
them from seeing it they still
remained on deck, noticing every
shell from the moment it was
fired until it fell. The bombardment
suddenly ceased some time before day,
but they knew not whether the fort
had surrendered or the attack been
abandoned. At the first dawn Of day
their glasses were turned to the fort.
and with Il thrill of delight. they saw
that "our flag was still there" The
song was begun by Key in the fcrvor
of the mcment, and few lines hastily
iottcd down on the back of letter,
with brief notes that would help in re-
calling the others. He finished it in
the boat on the way to the shore. and
wrote it out as it now stands immcdi-
ately upon reaching Baltimore In an
hour after it was placed in the hands
OF the printer it was on the street, was
hailed with enthusiasm, and at once
took its place as National song. The
music to which it was adapted is an
old French air, long known in England
as "Anacreon, and afterward in Amer
lea as Adams and Liberty. Notes
and Queries.

GRENADA MISS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER IS,
A FINANCIAL MYSTERY.
How Apples and Cents and an Old Yrutt
Woman Got Mixed.

Woman Got Mixed.
There is an apple woman on fremont
street who has each day consignment
of apples to sell, and makes point OF
getting rid Of them, if possible, every
day. She does not like to have stock
left on he" hands, regarding clearing
out sales" as demoralizing to trade.
The other morning her boy Mickey
and his chum Patsey were hanging
around her stand, and bothered her 80
much that she resolved to put them TO
some use So she fitted out each Of
them with basket, and to her smart
boy Mickey she gave thirty Of the sixty
apples, and said;
Sell thin for me, livery wan O
thin, and sell EN- two for a clint.
So Mickey started out with his thir-
ty apples. Then she called Patsey,
his chun, in whose honesty she had
more confidence than she had in his
business abilities, and gave him the
other thirty apples.
Sell thin for me-" she said to
Patsey, land sell EN- three for cint. "
Patsey sailed forth with the apples
and y smile. Two for a clint, an
three for a cint, " said the old woman
to herself, after the boys were gone,
chat jist two cints for five"
The boys got in toward the middle
OF the afternoon with their baskets
empty. 1t was just as the upplc-wom-
an had anticipated. The lower price
of Patscy's apples Just about balanced
Mickey's superior commercial qualif-
cations, and the boys came in within
ten minutes of each other. Mickey
had the fifteen cents which his thirty
apples had brought at two for a cent,
and Patsy had the ten cents which
his thirty apples had brought at three
for cent.
That made twenty-five cents for the
old lady, and as she put the money in
her pocket she remarked to the boys
that she would ste them later.
Next day tile boys cane around
bright and early. and noted that the
consignment Of sixty apples had ar
rived; but the appIc-woman had
changed her plans Size had n1adn Wy
her mind that She mightus woiIsrn the
apples from the stand, and not bo under
the necessity Of seeing the boys later.
So she sent them away cmptN-handed.
"And now, said She, II will sell the
apples the same Us yis,erIay-tive for
| two cents.
50 she put on the pile Of sixty apples
a neatIy-cNorutcd plarard which read
'ive for two" She sold ailthr apples
at that rate. but when at night she dis,
covered that she had realized hut
twcnty-four cents for the sixty apples,
whereas tn, preceding day she had got
twenty-five cents for them, with five
going for two cents just the same, she
was struck with amaZcmcnt and per.
pleXity.
In the name Of the piper that
played before Moscs,' exclaimed the
old woman, "phat is gone with the
stncr cint?"
Sho has not solved the problem &c
her satisfaction vet, and her friends
are afraid that 'thc poudh"rin' over il
will DROVE her cr"L2y quitc.' Tho
worst Of it is that none of her friends

BE A MAN.

Remember, next Tuesday, shat all
men are created equal; they are endow-
ed by the Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; that among these are life.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Remembering this, voters, do not allow
any man to dictate TO you as to how
you shall vote. No mortal man has
right to inspect your ticket; to tell you
to scratch this name or to write in an
other. Norman has any right to threaten
you with social ostracism if you do not
vote as he likes. No man has right to
drive you as the slave owner would
drive his menials; no man has right to
vote you as the protected mill owners
of the east vote their men. No matter
If you are Democrat, Republican or
Union Labor man, there is no man in
your party whose vote counts for more
than does yours and no party boss or
party prophet has any business in die
tatIng to you. BE not like dumb, driv-

who you think are best qualified for the
Offices to be filled. If you do this, you
will go home respected by everyone and
you will feel that it is proud thing to
be the servant of no man.

w. J. ESTELL

The following unsolicited letter, from
Hon. L. w. McNeely, ex-member of
congress, from the Petersburg, ILL.,,
district, was received here several
weeks since and it is now given TO the
public TO show how Capt. Estell, candi.
date for district clerk, stood at his old
home:
PETERSBURG, ILL, Sept. q, 1883.
I. 9. MolIov, Esq, Chairman Democrat
&c Committee, Medicine Lodge, Kans.
DEAR SIR: learn that Capt. w. J.
Estell has been nominated for the Of
fee of district clerk in your county.
Capt. Estell was circuit clerk of this
county eight years and he performed
his official duties to the satisfaction of
our people. There is no charge here
against him. He did his work for the
people honestly. He is competent. He
is accommodating and popular in the
discharge of his duties. He could have
been re-nominated and re- elected for a
third term if he had asked it; but he
thought he could get rich specializing
outside and did not ask FOR renomina-
ton. lie was nominated by our Demo-
cratic convention for the legislature in
a "dead-Sure" Democratic district
where the majority is 2,40O, but he de-
cllned. hope you will elect him. He
is lifelong Democrat and true
friend. Yours Truly,

.FOR PROBATE JUDGE.

In selecting probate judge, the yo-
tiers cannot be too careful. That office
is one that has to deal with the affairs
of thOse who cannot look after their
own business-the widows, the orphans
and the insane. The question that
arises this year is whether it will be
better to elect to that Office a technical
New York lawyer, one whose interest
it is to keep up litigation, keeping
claims from being settled, furnishing
cases for his brother attorneys and COM
plicating the business of estates, OF
whether it will not he better TO elect a
a PLAIN, every day business man to the
position. Judge Edwards, the Repub-
lican nominee, is man who luxuTiates
in wealth, who owns his vast farms,
his interest in oil wells and his city
property; who has lucrative practice,
who has great shelves OF law books,
whose friends point to him as the great
est and most learned lawyer in the
county. He does not need the Office
and he only expects to hold 1t as step
ping stone to the district judgeship, for
which he will be candidate, it is un-
derstOod, two years from now. So why
should he be elected probate Judge?
He has never loved his country well
enough TO take steps to increase its
population; he has never loved society
enough TO make member of it happy;
he has not improved his adopted coun-
ty or town; in short he has been drone
in the hive of nature. He does not
work. neither dues ne spin, yet Solomon.
In all his glory, was not arrayed as he.
His OPP onent, w. c. Afford, Of Hazel
ton. came west several years age and
he has endured the hardships of pion-
eer life. As family man, he has
around him his full quota of children;
as mechanic he has Iabored hard i'm
building habitations for others; as an.
energetic citizen. he has interested
himself in educational work, and has
assisted, as a member OF the school
board. in keeping the public schools OF

NEXT HEAR

1t will be well for the Democrats of
every voting precinct in Barber county
to remember that the basis of represent
tatiOn in the county nominating con-
vention next year will be fixed by the
Democratic vote cast at the election
next Tuesday for the county ticket.
This has been the uniform practice i'm
this county and all other counties so far
as we know. So, we say, if any town or
locality has an idea that it will have a
favOrite son TO present to the next
nominating convention, that town or
locality will stand better chance of
getting its man nominated if it has a
large delegation in the nominating con-
yentiOn. y large delegation can only
be secured by casting "A large vote for
the county candidates. And it will be
well not to single out any particular
candidate, either, for there is no telling
what vote will be selected in fixing the
apportionment. Suppose, for instance,
that the basis of representation were
TO be fixed at one delegate in the con-
ventiOn for every fifteen votes cast for
Mr.. Shannon for county attorney. 1t
follows that the locality or precinct that
cast the largest vote Tor Mr. Shannon
would have the largest number of dele
gales in the county convention. Then
if that precinct should have candidate
before the convention, it would stand a
better show of getting that candidate
nominated. a word to the wise Is suf-

BLEEDING KANSAS

st. Louis Republic: I'VE learn from
the most respectable Republican papers
of Kansas that under Republican rule
that state has become a hot bed of an
archv, the headquarters of organized
murderers, compared to whom the Rus

The entire Republican press of Kansas
is publishing oaths and rituals showing
how this conspiracy has thriven under
Republican rule. From what we see
aud read the conclusion is inevitable
that if there is not change of admins
tration for the r5s 49, those who may
wish TO remain in the state without sac
rifcing their lives totliis anarcy will be
obliged 10 join the Anarchists in self
protection.

How any friend of Tom McNeal can
consistently vote for Frank Price, of

we can understand. McNeal was clear

played by Price and his friends. When
