He was not fatally wounded. A day
book in his coat-pocket saved his life.
The buckshot passed through the book
and into his breast just above the heart,

SENATOR HAMPTON
ON REPUBLICAN METHODS TO BREAK
THE SOLID SOUTH.
He Holds that the safety and Welfare of q
Soutbrrncr's Home isParsmount to
the Tariff.
rgy telegraph to tho Dlsps,aa.l

WASHINGTON, August 2l.--Senator
Hampton in an interview here to-day
said that the Republicans were making
an effort to break into the solid South
by introducing economic questions, but
that il would fail. He said: GAS long
as local self government demands our at
tention our people cannot be divided on
this issue. Whether a man is a pro-
toctionist or tariff reformer, the safety
and welfare of his homo is paramount to
the tariff.
"Do you think that there is grow
ing protective sentiment in the South :?
"No," the Senator replied. 81 think
the tendency is more likely to be the
other way, especially in the mining and
manufacturing districts. The interests
Of the States of Virginia, Tennessee,
and Alabama particularly, are advanced
by low duties. They can produce iron
and coal much cheaper than they can be
produced in the East. Protection only
assists the eastern manufacturers to keep
up this rivalry. Without protection the
rivalry would be greatly lessened. The
less protection the more capital will go
to develop the industries of the South.
Seeing this, / do not think our people
will be led off 10y this question. The
efforts OF the Republicans will be in
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
and perhaps Alabama. do not think
thew will meet with success III either.
The exodus of the negroes from North
Carolina, if it keeps up, will hurt them
there. but they could not carry the State
anyhow. Harrison's appointments IN
the South have been OF character to
strengthen us in the resistance OF any
attempts made on the southern States.
| know it has been so in South Carolina,
and | presume it is the same elsewhere. y
He thought inconvenience but no in-
Jury would result from the extensive
exodus in the South. 1--WE" he said.
''would gladly see the colored people
move elsewhere and we would be willing
to suffer any reduction IN the elective
college and Congress that might result
from their departure. 1t would make
Things little harder for the present
generation but would be the salvation of
the future. | would gladly yoto to APP
propriate $50, 000, 900 for the purchase
OF Cuba or some other place IN which
they might settle.

"Riehmond's Suburbs 10 he Beautified''
Under this caption the Baltimore Sun
of yesterday says editorially 1t IS an
nounced that Major Lewis Ginter, Mr..
Joseph Bryan, and other rich men who
have large interests in Henrico county,
Va, in the vicinity of Richmond. have
planned system of improvements that
will greatly beautify its suburbs and en-
hance the value OF property. Major
Ginter owns 200 acres within a mile or
two from town. Mr.. Bryan owns probably
as much. Others in the party will bring
up the speculative holdings high IN the
thousands. Beautiful houses are to he
built bv these capitalists and sold on
the instalment plan, giving the .pur-
chaser his own home on terms as light
as rent. These gentlemen are making a
splendid boulevard at their own ex-
peuse from a point near Mr. Bryan s
elegant home. Laburnum," to Broad
Street road. near the Exposition. IL IS
300 feet wide, and there Is scarcely
any grade. At the Exposition this
boulevard connects with the reser-
voir boulevard which passes along
by the Soldiers Home. 10 year or
two bridge will be built across James
river at the pump-house, and from the
point opposite on the Chesterfield side
there is a beautiful drive to Bon Air.
only two and half miles. With all
these improvements carried out few cities
in the United States would have more
extensive suburban attractions in the
way of parks and pleasure-roads. From
"Laburnum or the new village OF
WestmorelaDd TO Bon Air by the boule-
yards would be less than five miles.

be made soon after the Norfolk Conyen-

One of the latest gentlemen to be
mentioned in connection with the ap-
pointment is ex-Judge Thomas S. At

fight for the place, however, but should
the honor be bestowed upon him no Re
