A Minute of Terror

Dr. SGmpsal and J. k Snyder. bolh OF
Centreville, had an experience st Swif;
Run CT Friday night of last week that they
viii never forget. They camred at the low
or dam as Swift Ran, near Z ledge OF rocks,
on the uieht In question, and 5aiore dark
ness cane upon them they soraped lot of
leaves together for 8 bed. aud provided
pile of wood 10 keep up fire during the
night. About ten O'Clock they pr epared FOR
sleep, and, drawing q blanket over them,
lag down to pleasant dreams.
Along towards one o'clock Mr. Snyder
fei. chilly, and got up 10 put some more
woed on the fire, and then lay down. Gnd
soon fell into deep sleep, from which be
wss awakened By a cold object which seem

that there was something extraordinary the
matter he called TO the doctor 10 hurry and

right leg of bis paDtaloons. and he believed
1t was snake.
The words vent through the doctor like
an electric SHOCK, end, rasing brand out

violently shook bis derattleG tail, indicating
its enger at such harsh treatment. This per.

Recovering himself, the doctor bethought
himself OF his knife, snd quickly opening a

Local Republicans Are Left.

The statement that the south would be
complimented "a by the presence OF a
number Of prominent republicans during
this political campaign, is on par with
other stories told by the wire-pullers of
that party. Men hike Blaine and Mckinley
know that it would be waste of time to
come south. Such audiences as would
listen to them, as rule, vote
the republican ticket anyhow.
They vote it because they are black men
and have always voted it Not because
they have the slightest conception of what
it implies. Still they would probably be
greatly disappointed when they discovered
that Blaine and Mckinley were not of their
color. Whites who might, through mere
curiosity, go to look at them, are too in
telligent to be in any wise influenced by
their sophistrles.
Republicans in the south will have to de-
pend on their own unsavory white leaders
for inspiration this year. Professional re-
publican politicians of the north are not
apt 70 come south. because they have
about ss much as they can attend to at
home 70 keep their own constituents from go.
ing over to the Democratic party. This fall
the Republican party has been straining its
utmost resources, both in money and elo-
queDce, in desperate effort to sustain the
slight hold it has upon the country in the
east and west, where 1t has been fostering
manufacturing monopolies by class legisla-
ton, and they find it so difficult to keer
what little footing they have even there
that every available speaker will be i'm.
pressed into service and held in that field
where they have at least ghost of a
chance of success. Beside they we'll know
that their best men would be simply vast
ing their breath by talking force bill" and
high tariff here
