MURDER AT CORDELE.
A Quarrel Among Negro Gamblers Re
S11lts IN ITsa of tha Pistol

BuILS IN Use OF Ine FlSJOl.
CoRDELE. GA, March A shooting
scrape occurred at this place yesterday
afternoon between two negroes, Henry
Chambers and Abe West, in which West
was killed. The encounter occurred about
3 O'clock, at boarding house in the western
part of the city. The men had been gamb-
ling and difference arose over which they
quarreled all the morning At dinner time
West was telling the woman with whom he
boarded about his trouble with Chambers,
when the latter walked in. Chambers
then pulled his pistol, 38-caliber, and with
the remark, "You have been bulldozing me
long enough" began shooting at West.
One ball entered Vests brain
through the face and the other entered his
heart through the right side. West fell
dead instantly. A negro named Redrick
Comb, who stood near, threw up his hands
to keep Chambers from shooting and re-
ceived a wound, but was not seriously hut.
Chambers left town Immediately and has
not been heard from. The negroes are very
indignant over the affair, and say they will
do all In their power to catch the fugitive.

UNDER rHRER GOVERNORS.
A Peculiar State OF Affairs in West
Virginia

%
PrrTsBURe, PA, March A special
from Charleston, w. Va, says:
Promptly at noon to-day, Gen. Goff,
the republican candidate for governor and
claimant to the office, took the oath in one
of the rooms Of the state house set apart for
the use of the governor. About the same
time, in another apartment, President
Carr of the Senate also took upon himself
the prescribed oath and was empowered to
transact the business Of the office. In his
private Office, Gov. E. W. Wilson, who has
filed the position for the past four years,
continued, in form at least, to discharge
his accustomed duties.
In and about the state house there was
gathered tremendous crowd of people
about equally divided between the two
political parties. About 1890 o'clock Gen.
Golf and several friends came into the
capitol and proceeded to the private office
of Gov. Wilson, who was also surrounded
bya number Of his friends.
GoFF's LITTLE SPEECH.
Gen. Golf mounted chair and addressed
the crowd which had assembled in the
room. He claimed that he had received a
clear majority OF the votes cast, charged
Speaker Woods, of the House of Delegates,
with having lied in the performance of his
constitutional duties in not declaring til q
result, and said ~ am now ready in the
presence of these people of my state to kiss
the Holy Bible and commit myself to the
destiny that awaits me by virtue Of the
partiality of my fellow-citizens. The oath
was then administered by II. c. McWhorten
after which Gen. Golf proceeded to the gov
ernor's private Office and demanded posses
sion. Gov. Wilson was surrounded by a
dense mass Of his friends and party leaders.
In reply to the demand he said he was OF
the opinion that the legislature as a co-or-
dinate department Of the government ia
joint assembly had exclusive juris-
diction to declare the result of an election.
and no title could come from any othef
source. lie feit it his duty to continue IN
charge. President Carr made a similar de-
mand after taking the oath and was SIM
larly refused, and thus matters stand.

Mrs. Cleveland's Absence.

Up in the gallery, to President Cleveland's
right, was private pew bearing big card
labeled president" which the throng had
been Watching all day. They wanted to see
whether Mrs. Cleveland or any of the ladies
of the cabinet would come and sit in it.
None of them came. The pew directly
behind marked Vice President, was very
early filled by Mrs. Ingalls, and her entire
family of children, seven, large and small.
In the diplomatic gallery, besides the
wives of the principal members of the
diplomatic corps, were Mr.. and Mrs, Blaine
and Walker Blaine the latter carrying
crutches. his wounded leg being not yet
well Just below them sat George L.
Rives of New York, cousin of Amelie
Rives and first assistant secretary of
state, whose successor in Office Walker
Blaine will probably be. Over in the
senator's private gallery with Mrs. Stan
ford were Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant. Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. Sartoris declined on ac-
count of deaths in the family. Overhead
the press gallery was crowded with promi-
nent journalists.

Incendiary Work on Cotton Ships
Denied.
CHARLESTON, March AT the recent
session of the legislature serious charges
were made against the method of conduct
ing the cotton business at this port. 1t was
alleged that ring or rings existed among
members Of the cotton exchange for the
purpose of purchasing cotton saved from
burnt steamships at prices far below the
value Of the cotton; second, that the
cotton fires at this port were of in
cendiary origin; third, a ring or rings
existed here whose interest it is to have
these fires occur in order that they might
share in the plumber; fourth, that under
writer's on cotton cargoes are systematical-
ly defrauded at this port. Upon the pub
LEGATION Of these charges the cotton ex-
change appointed special committee of
five to make a thorough investigation. The
committee examined twenty-five witnesses,
obtained evidence bearing on all phases of
the subject and submitted their report to-
day.
WHAT THEY FIND.
They find that the charge that there is a
ring buy damaged cotton from burnt
steamships for less than its value is abso-
lutely without foundation. While showing
that there is great carelessness in loading
cotton in tramp steamships and holding
that the charge Of incendiarism is ques-
ton for the determination Of the courts,
they say that they have not obtained
evidence in a single instance that cotton
fires were Of incendiary origin. They say
that they are perfectly satisfied that this
charge made by implication upon promi-
nent citizens is entirely unfounded. They
also show that the underwriters of cotton
cargoes are not defrauded.
INEFFECTIVE LAWS.
In concluding their report, the committee
says that the existing laws permit the col
fusion Of the master "of ship" with an
outside party or parties is evident; that
they allow opportunity for concentrating
fraud is unquestioned, and that extremely
high rates for services rendered are charged
is an established fact This ought
not to be, but at the same time
Charleston should not be held up as
a port where fraud or corruption
runs riot, when such is not the case, and
where evidence points conclusively to the
fact that underwriters on cotton cargoes
are as fairly treated, if not more fairly,
here as at other points of export.

A Cigarette Victim.

A recent number of the Sacramento
Bee contained the following: A bright
and well.educatsd young man died in
this city very recently from the effects
of cigarette smoking. 1t is no specula-
tion that this was the cause of death,
but the boys parents, his physicians and
the patient himself, all knew that he
was victim Of the deadly cigarette.
He contracted the habit while at school
and in time became an inveterate smoker.
There was hardly moment, during his
waking hours, that he was not inhaling
and drawing far down into his lungs the
hot and sitting smoke. and the delicate
respiratory organs were scorched and
withered by the incessant blast. The
lad grew pale and thin, and was finally
stricken down, living only few days
after being confined to his bed.

The Wholesale murders, killings and

curing in the Oklahoma country during

letters to be nearly all untrue, the sen.
sational stories being in most cases orig.
mated by Jealous newspaper correspon.
.lents anxious to out.do each other. In
Guthrie. where ten thousand people 10.
Gated in two days, the utmost good ma.
ture prevailed. Everybody was on the
70 to boom the place but no such fearful
occurrences took place As the papers re.
port. This, it was said, was largely due
to the fact that no liquor Of any kind
was sold in the place; if it had been the
disasters might have been terrific. The
Prohibitionits will score point or two
on this, and we may soon expect to hear
from them on tho matter.

Nothing but general note has been
seen in the papers concerning the meeting
Of the Union Pacific Directors which was
held at Boston recently. A report Of
their proceedings was eagerly looked for
as it was thought it would contain some.
thing definite about the extension Of the
road west from Milford. Nothing has
been heard however and this by some is
regarded as favorable sign, in that if
the U. P. Company had determined not
to build its extension it wonld have been
at particular pains to make the fact
known; but having concluded to 60
ahead, it's ends will be best subserved
by keeping quiet until the proper time
arrives. The manner in which those d.
rectly concerned, who were much exer.
cised over the matter short time ago,
and who would very likely be informed,
now say they don't know" when asked
anything about it, is regarded as conclu.
sive that they are satisfied something
will soon be done.

PRAISE, BUT JUSTLY.

1t is well to frequently call to mind
the good deeds of the great men in our
nations history. 1t is we'll to give those
men their just measure of praise. But
while doing so we should not do an in.
justice to the memory of Others. In Gel
ebrating the centennial of the Inaugural.
ton Of Washington. it was proper, to
speak Of that mans good qualities.
But some of his eulogists should be re.
minded that Comparisons are odious."
When one says that Washington was
great, we do not object. Two pre.emi.
nently great works were accomplished
during his time, the Revolution and the
Framing of the National Constitution.
Washington was q leader of men. He
commanded the armies during the war,
and. the end being successful, he presi.
ded over the convention which framed
the constitution. There were other able
generals in the army, aud it is not
claimed that to Washington is due the
credit Of forming the organic law of the
Nation, to anything like the extent it
is due to Hamilton or Jefferson. But the
human mind has ever been prone to give
all the credit Of great events to great
men and to ignore the mass of workers
without whose exertions nothing would
have been accomplished, and smong
whom probably originated the very idea
which they themselves executed. Thus,
when Washington became good, = that
is of course when he died. it was nat.
ural thing for the people to set him up
on = pedestal and worship him. The
iealiouses and the. craftsmanship of the
times prevented the other great men of
the day-who unfortunately for their
fame, had not the wisdom to die before
Washington--from receiving their share
of credit, and the popular mind found in
the memory of the one man something to
worship when in 9 worshipful mood.
We don't complain about that. Hero
worship is a useful thing. 1t frequently
takes the place of intelligent thought,
and makes fair substitute for that ar.
ticle in public matters But when men
say that Washington was greater than
Lincoln they make comparison most
odious to the judicious mind. The
events that occurred in Lincoln's time
were as great as any in our history, and
he was most intimately associated with
them. He foresaw and guided public
action to an extent and for length of
time, and during such crises, as probably
no other man ever did in free country.
His noble acts, clear judgment, dignity
Of thought, and aingleness Of heart in his
love for the people give him place in
history second to that of no American.

During the spring of 1871, while working
in the field at my home in Morgan county,
Ca, pulled off my shoes to give my feet
rest. Unfortunately, walked into clunp

were in terrible condition, and could not
put on shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because began to think it was a
