Mary Ann Doucherty Again.

Mary Ann Dougherty, whose pension claim
was vetoed by President Cleveland, told Judge
Miller yesterday that her name was still on
the pay roll of the Agricultural department,
and the judge told her that the officials at the
department had more patience with her than

Buck is the prisoner who broke Jail on the
29th of September last and made his way west
ward and finally to New Orleans, from which
place he was recently brought. He was rather
disinclined to talk when at the depot, but he
had evidently made up his mind that he was
getting off from the trial for prison breach. A
Baltimore officer was inquiring this morning
as to what time his time will expire, as he is
wanted in that city.

that he was intoxicated and fully generating
them from any blame. He also stated that
there was reason for the arrest and that his
statement in the station house that they were
suspicious characters was only made as an ex-

Letter from Col. Polk.
raleigh News and Observer
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 7, go.

Editor News and Observer:
You do me the honor to reproduce
in your columns of this date, circu-
lar letter, addressed to the chief Off
GERS of the various farmers organiza-
tions of this county, and which was
ordered to be sent to the press. You
make prominent the closing paragraph
in an editorial notice, which was all
proper and most natural. The circu-
lar, as written and published in the
Economist and Progressive Farmer,
contains nothing ofthe kind, and upon
enquiry by telegraph, I am informed
that the printer, in making up the
form for printing the letter, made the
inexcusable blunder of inserting the
paragraph as a part OF the letter.
Whatever may be my party views, l
have no right to obtrude them officially
upon the Order. A casual glance at
the letter and the paragraph, will show
that there is no connection whatever
between the subject matter presented.
No blame whatever is to be attached
to the Neavs and Observer for its
course, but l write this simply in
vindication of my position as President
of our National Order, and respectfully
ask that you give it place in your
columns.
Most respectfully,
l.. l.. Polk.

MY FRIEND-A WORD WITH YOU.

Do you know that every man who
desires to vote at this election must
register ANEW? Even if you have
REGISTERED and VOTED before, you
must register again under the new
Election Law to vote this year.
Dou you want the Republicans to
carry the election and have your
neighbors arrested and put in Jail as
in 1868-So? If not, REGISTER and
VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Dou you wish the negro to get con-
troll of your county and State? If
not, REGISTER and VOTE tor the DEMO
CRATIC nominees.
Do you not know that EVERY NE
GRO in the State will REGISTER and
VOTE? Then SO must every WHITE
MAN.
Do you want negro Yankee soldiers
with drawn bayonets to meet you at
the polls and dictate to you how to
vote? If not, be sure your name is
on the registration books, and do not
fail to vote the straight Democratic
ticket.
You can't register after Oct. 24th-
SO REGISTER AT ONCE. Don't say you
have not time-take time-YOUR HAP
PINEss depends on it; the GOOD NAME
AND PROSPERITY OF YOUR STATE DE-
ENDS ON IT. DON'T WAIT. Delay
may cost the defeat of the party.
All Democratic papers will please
copy and keep at the head of the COL
umn of each issue until after the elec-
ton.

DFATH OF A REMARKABLE NAN

BALTIMORE, Oct. 9TH.
Prof. John II. Hewitt, an able and
prolific writer, died here to- day, aged
ninety years, from the effect of fall
received two years or more ago. His
father was leading musician Of his
time and came to America in 1904.
He entered West Point Academy in
1913 with the rank of second Lieu
tenant of Cavalry. Not being salts
fed with the rank, Hewitt resigned
Immediately. He then came South,
studied law and later resumed the
the study of medicine, settling finally
in Augusta, Ga. While in Greenville,
S. G., he edited the Greenville Rebnb-
lie, the first paper issued there. He
was called to Boston by the fatal ILL.,
ness of his father and there married
Estelle Mangum, daughter of the
Spanish Consul. In 1925 he came
to Baltimore. While editor Of the
MInerva, here Edgar Allan Poe pub
lished his Gal Alsaraif," "Tamerlane"
and minor poems. He severely criti-
cized the volume and always felt that
Poe's dislike for him was due to that
criticism. The p1oprietors Of The
Visitor here subsequently offered
premiums OF S1oo and $50 respective
ly for the best story and poem. Hewitt
was editor Of the paper at the time
and resolved to compete anonymously
for the second prize. Poe's tale of GA
Manuscript found in a Bottle" re-
ceived the first premium. There were
two poems selected from the fourscore
offered. These were "The Coliseum"
by Poe, and "The Song of the
Wind" by Hewitt. The judges
decided that Hewitt should receive
the prize for the Poem. Poe was dis
pleased and i'll feeling towards Hewitt
was confirmed. He passed the period
of the civil war in the South. Hewitt
has been called "the father Of the
American Ballard" Hewitt saw Full
tons first steamboat on the Hudson
river, was present when the first dis
patch was sent over Morse's telegraph
line between Baltimore and Washing
ton and was passenger on the first
train of cars drawn by locomotive
that left Baltimore.
