LIVINGSTON on THE EDGE
WIDESPREAD FEAR THAT he MAY
BE DEFE ATED.

The Republican Candidate Counting
OF Getting q Thousand Votes From
Democrats-Gov. Gordon Working
Hard for the Alliance Leeder-specu-
letion as TO the Effects Of Defeat.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov 3.-Hundreds can
be found to-day who believe that Col Law
ingston Is going to be beaten for congress,
aud many democrats desire his defeat.
Col. Haight counts on over 1000 votes
which ought TO go TO the democratic NOM
inee, and that he will get several hundred
cannot be doubted Were the next House
surely democratic. there is no telling how
many be would get. Col Livingstone lack
of popularity has been understated and I'M
derestirnated until now. That he will not
be defeated is only due to the peculiar aspect
Of affairs, which leaves sensible democrats
no choice but to vote for him.
THE HILL TICKETS.
Solicitor General Hill to-day denounced
the distrib ution Of ''Jeffersoman," tickets
bearing his name as a republican trick, and
urged the voters to stand by the nominee.
A much more dangerous ticket, because
il bears the name of a stronger man
politically, has or will be circulated.
Ex-Gov. McDaniel's name appears upon IT,
OF course It has been used without any
authority from him. 1t is feared that the
Unaffected will be led away by this ruse
and the democratic vote divided.
GORDON WORKING FOR LIVINGSTON.
Gov. Gordon and his friends are working
with ali their might for Col Livingston,
knowing that the party cannot afford TO
allow him to be defeated. The possibility
of his being beaten has opened broad field
for conjecture, and people are freely specu-
Iating on the effect IL would have upon the
Constitutions chances for the speakership,
the leadership Of the alliance, the senatorial
contest, and politics in general Col
Livingstons defeat, with that OF Col
Everett, it has been predicted, would check
the advance Of the alliance 10 such an ex-
tent as to alter the whole aspect OF the
political sky.

these two, and as the years passed BY scns
thing of the old-time geyety came back &C
Z John Wilson.
For years he ran bis still, the largest in
I the mountains, when his daughter, now
I grown into wonanhood, returned from
school She IVES a beautiful girl. and in
I her pretty dresses seemed strangely out OF
place among these rude mountain folk. She
went with her father to the store as she did
/ when child, and the two were again in
! seperable. He could not bear to have her
out Of bis sight. The moonshiners, how
ever. continued 70 make the Wilson cabin
Z their rendezvous
"Why do these men come here, father p
his daughter asked.
Il have business with them, my child
Il won't be long. / am a rich man here. but
would be poor man in the city. Next
year will have enough and we VIII move
TO the city"
With this she was content, but as the
weeks passed by she learned the truth. and
begged her father 10 stop.
Only few weeks now. my child, be
would answer.
A BULLHI STRUCK HER
One night two men came running 20 the
house. She heard her father go TO the cor
ner where he kept bis rife, then be buried
out Of the door. Dressing quickly she ran
to eaten him She had learned where the
still was, and she OWNED that there was
trouble there She ran as she never ran BE-
fore. for fear lent speed TO her feet
Approaching the still she saw the revenue
officers riding up the creek Just behind her.
Never needing the rife barrels resting in
the crevices between the logs Of the still
house, she ran on when tie sharp crack of
a rife rang out on the night air. She threw
up her hands and fell on her face, shot
through the heart. II was her father who
had fired, and as be pulled the trigger be
saw it was a woI3an's form, and OWNED
who it was, but il was too late. He fell by
the side Of his gun. After sharp fight, in
which no one was wounded, however, the
revenue officers retreated.
HIS companions picked John Wilson up
and carried him to the nearest cabin, They
did not know what the trouble was until.
going along the creek WITH the unconscious
man, they found the body Of his daughter.
They picked her up and tenderly lore them
both away.
The next day the girl was buried near the
cabin For weeks the father lay in delirium,
and when he got well be went to the grave
Of his daughter and placed the headstone
there that had seen. The cabin and store
was closed; the still was burned.
He lives in q cave. He never speaks to
any mortal, living on wild berries and the
game that ne kills. His rife is his only
companion, and TO this he will talk as if It
understood him. Every day he visits the
grave of his daughter. His step is growing
feeble, and it will not be long before he, too,
passes into the unknown beyond.
The simple mountain folk say that when
the moon is shining through the pines and
the whippoor Wills mournful call is heard, a
white-robed figure can be seen running up
the creek, with long hair moving in the
wind, just as on that night ten years ago
when beautiful Susie, the moonshinerh
daughter was shot.
