They Saw Him Coming.

While two women We're seated in a house
in Emanuel county, Ca, they saw q negro
trying to approach the house without be-
ing seen, by rolling along the ground like
q log. He knew the ladies were alone in
the house. Miss Marie seized her fathers
Winchester, drew a bead and pulled down
on him. She did not hit him, but at the re-
port of the gun the black rascal jumped up
and ran like q deer.

Spring Medicine

The chief reason for the marvellous success Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is found in the article itself. 1t
is Merit that wins, and the fact that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla actually accomplishes what is claimed for
it. is what has made it the medicine first in the con-
fdence of our countrymen, and given to Hoods
Sarsaparilla a popularity and sale greater than that
of any other blood purifier.
Early last spring l was very much run down, had
nervous headache, felt miserable and all that. Twas
very much benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla and
recommend it to my friends" MRs. j. NJ. TAYLOR.

Is . necessity with nearly everybody. The run
down, tired condition at this season is due to i'm
purities in the blood which have accumulated dur

wish to feel well. Hoods Sarsaparilla thoroughly
pnrifes and vitalizes the blood, creates a good appe-
tite. cures biliousness and headache, gives healthy
action to the kidneys and liver, and imparts to the
whole body a feeling of health and strength. Try it

Presbyterlan General Assembly.

SARATOGA, N. Y. May 16.-At the session
of the Presbyterian general assembly this
morning standing committees were APP
pointed, and then the committee on the
liquor traffic in Congo state reported they
had tried to get congress to use its inhu-
ence against the traffic, bat as the United
States was not party to the Berlin treaty
no action could be secured at present. 1t
was voted that action by the Presbyterians
on the question of revision be referred to
special committee. One hundred and
thirty-two Presbyteries had favored the
proposed reyision sixty-six had opposed
1t, seven had declined to act and eight had
not reported. Judge Wilson, member of
the committee on revision but not of the
assembly, was requested to explain the ac-
ton os the committee. The committee on
the board of publication and Sabbath
school work made report recommending
the purchase of a plant for printing and
making and marketing books and period
icals. The report says that much of the
work now done for the board costs twice as
much as if we could do it for ourselves.
The committee on increasing supply o.
efficient ministers reported that since the
reunion, for every three churches organized
one had died and that mostly for lack Of
efficient men and means to pay them, the
total number of these dissolutions being
10099 since 1871. There is a crying need for
great increase in the number of new men
trained for the ministry. We have not
over two thirds as many as we need.
1t was recommended that schools for
Bible readers and other lay workers be or
ganized and that fit laymen be licensed to
preach who cannot give their entire time
to the work, and theological seminaries are
advised to consider the expediency of pro-
viding special courses for promising men
who have not had classical training
The following committee on canyassing
the votes of Presbyteries on revision was
appointed: President Potter, of Princeton
college; DIR. H. M. McCracken, of New
York; Rev. DR.. Edwards and Elders Brad
ley and Thornton. Prof. Herrick, of Nc
Cormick Theological seminary, Chicago, re-
ported on bringing together of vacant
churches and villages. The report said
hundreds of churches and villages that
might be brought together are not, except
through expedients that are in every way
mischievous.

MONTREAL, May LIT is said that new
secret Irish association has been formed
with its headquarters here and at Quebec
The new league is said to already consist OF
10000 members, principally Irish and Can

A NARROW ESCAPE.
QUEBEC, May 4.-The Allan line steam.
er, Circassian, which arrived here yester-
day from Liverpool, narrowly escaped dis
aster off the banks of New Foundland. A
heavy fog prevailed and the steamer was
proceeding cautiously at the rate of six
miles an hour, when the lookout sighted a
huge iceberg about forty yards ahead. En-
gines we're Immediately reversed, but the
steamer ran on portion of the iceberg to a
distance of about twelve feet. For time
the huge ship shivered from the shock and
great excitement prevailed on board, a
panic being prevented only by the self-pos-
session displayed by the officers. She lay
on her broad side full minute, and Capt.
Richie ordered all hands on deck and the
crew to stand by the boats. The vessel
however, soon settled back into clear water
uninjured. Had the vessel been running at
anything approXimating her usual speed
nothing could have saved her from COM
plete wreck and great loss of life.

ALLEGED TO BE SENSATIONAL.
A Dallas Evening Paper on Its Ear Concern
ing an Austin Correspondent.

ing an Austin correspondent.
DALLAS, Tex, May 15.-The Times-Her-
aid this evening publishes strong editorial
in condemnation of the recent sensational
dispatches foisted upon it and other even
ing papers throughout the State by a cor
respondent at Austin. The dispatches re-
ferred to set forth that mismanagement in
the affairs of the Farmers Alliance, involv-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars had
been discovered and that suits were
about to be instituted against certain
Alliance headquarters for the recovery of
the Alliance building in this city, and for
the possession of the Southern Mercury,
which was being used as political organ,
contrary to the principles of the order and
the wishes of its members throughout the
State. The Times Herald denouncess the
dispatches as baseless and as inspired by
designing politicians at Austin for the pur-
pose OF creating a prejudice against
candidates who, it is said, have
the favor of the majority of the farmers or
Alliance men. Those dispatches have put
1t and other evening papers in the State in
q false position regarding certain candidates
now before the people, and it is even
hunted thai it and the papers publishing the
sensational connections of the Austin cor
responder are in danger of being sued for
libel bv tht, officers of the Alliance against
whom the charges have been published.

COURT HOUSE BURNED.
Destruction Of the Temple Of Justice at An

uerSOn, urlmeS county.
NAvAsoTA, Tex, May 15.-The court
house of Grimes county at Anderson, ten
miles south of here, was totally destroyed
by fire. Just about 2:3O this morning
flames were seen bursting from the build
ing. Responding with alacrity to the
alarm large number of Anderson's citi-
zens rushed to the spot and made heroic
efforts to save the priceless records and the
books and papers belonging to the county
for it was quickly seen the building was
doomed.
Nearly all the records and papers were
saved, but the financial ledger of the
county, book of great value, was lost
Having done what they could in this
way the workers turned their attention to
saving neighboring property and in this
they were successful 1t has not yet been
possible to open the vaults and safe but
everything therein is thought to be intact.
There was an insurance of about $1,000 on
the court house. The fire originated in the
cupola or between the roof and ceiling and
may have resulted from the carelessness of
some loungers, but there is strong suspi
cion that it was the work of an incendiary.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The hearing Of
the Farmers Alliance representatives was
continued before the ways and means com.
mittee this morning
Mr. Livingston, national lecturer of the
organization, taking up the argument
quoted President Lincoln's prophesy that
corporations would be enthroned, that the
property of the country would be concen-
trated and that the republic itself would be
overthrown. Thank God, said Mr.. Living
ston, the last portion had not been fulfilled,
but the others had been. One twentieth OF
the people of this country owned three
tifths of the property. He also quoted
Garfield, Jefferson and Calhoun, and said
that what they had recommended was Just
what the Alliance asked. If congress re-
fused to approve the sub treasury plan,
then remove the restrictions hedging in
the national banking system. The farmers
would care nothing about trusts and COM
binations and the concentration of money
if they could hold their crop in sub-treas-
uries and were not compelled as at present
to sell them at stated times, in October, in
the SOutn. lie could tnuS escape the spec
ulator. 1t would be God send to this
country to pass the sub treasury bill for the
reason that there would not be a bucket
shop left in the United States.
The day of speculation in crops would be
done away with and the producer and con-
sumner would be brought together. 1t had
been charged that the farmers would form
a trust, but this was against the farmers
nature. Sixteen millions would build all
the warehouses the Alliance wanted. What
good were Improvements to the debt-ridden
farmers Never more than third OF the
cotton crop would be warehoused
When the certificates issued on that
crop. came in they would meet the
notes of the wheat crop and
then the tobacco crop and so on. There
would not be excessive changes in the vol
ume of currency. In conclusion, he said
that if the committee thought that landed
leases we're the best, if they could not ac-
cept crop basis, let them put it IN the bill
Do something to reach the farmer. Report
the bill to the house in some shape so that
it could be acted upon. Don't make it a
question of tariff or of politics, but let the
bill stand on its merits

WASHINGTON NOTES.
WHAT M'CUNE SAYS:

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Mr. McCune, rep
resenting the Farmers Alliance, this morn
ing continued his arguments began yester-
day before the ways and means committed
in favor of the Pickler bill to establish sui
treasures for the receipt of agricultural
products. He was questioned by members
of the committee respecting the details anc
probable effect of the bill.
Mr.. Bayne wished to know if one effect
would not be to encourage over production
MIR. McCune replied that it would not
for Just as soon as the farmers calling be-
came more profitable than others there
would be an influx of men into that bust
ness, which would result in reaction and
finally the restoration Of an equilibrium
To his mind no fixed volume of currency,
no matter how great, will meet the needs
of agriculture. 1t wanted an elastic me-
dunn. The farmer sold his crops in the
fall when prices were highest. crops
were marketed in two or three months OF
the year and this marketing annually
caused great stringency in money.
Mr.. Flower feared that the plan would
lead to banking on livestock, iron, lead
and silver ore. They were getting along
now in the latter direction at the other
end of the capitol. In time we would have
everything sin hook"
In the course of ten years the government
would be nursing the children and the
women working in the fields. The true
remedy for the farmers ills was the manu-
facturers' plan. They should regulate pro-
duction raise only enough produce to
meet the peoples wants, and thereby get
fair prices.
Mr.. McCune proceeded to explain the pro
cess proposed to regulate the issue of do
duce certificates. He said the necessity for
excluding imports of agricultural products
was obvious. If the quality of the certifi-
Gates was to be preserved the certificates
would constitute the soundest and best cur
rency in the world. Probably not one-halt
of the fifty million dollars appropriation
asked for to put the new machinery in ac-
ton would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at minimum, as in
time 1t would be necessary to extend the

system to include all of the products of la
Dor not covered by patents.
In conclusion Mr.. McCune said the Ma.
tlonal Alliance had sent out single
printed petition and those petitions and
demands now pouring in upon congress
were spontaneous offering OF the farmers
OF the United States who were convinced
they knew what they wanted and were
going to have it.
well to manage his domestic affairs with
out government interference. The cur
rency system of the present day was
wrong. The government had not man
aged it properly and could not do so. 1t
had taken from the States the right is issue

the needs of the people. The States and
their people were the best judges.
