ter sundown that Bob Carter, a notorl.
GUS white Republican of this county, had
shot and instantly killed Columbus
Glenn, Democratic manager of the elcc-

Carter and Glenn had some angry words
and that Carter drew his pistol and shot
Glenn twice, once In the stomach and
once in the breast. The shooting then
became promlscuous. Carter was shot
three times, and the negro said he was

Hampton Earle, was shot in the arm, ,
and Henry Holland, Democratic ne.
gro, was shot in the breast. 1t was
supposed THAT Carter and j. w. Earle

a REVIEW Of the recent Democratic
victory In Georgia discloses the fact that
the Alliance lacked good deal of be-
ing "lett out In the cold" Among the
new State officers Gov. Nocthen, Treas
urer Hardeman, Secretary Of State
Cook, and Agricultural Commissioners
Nesbit are all active members Of the
Farmers Alliance. In the list of Dem
ocratic Congressional nominees we find
Alliancemen Livingston, Moses and
Lawson. Gen. John B. Gordon, United
States Senator, is also a full.hedged
member of the order. SO it Is seen that
the Third Party in Georgia does not
constitute the Alliance. Hon. james
M. Smith, one Of tho ablest campaign
orators in that State, is also an Ali
man. The members of that oryaniZa
tion were divided In their politica

Death on the Rail.

LONDON, Nov. 7.-An appalling rail.
way accident occurred early this morn
ing near Thirsk, in Y Yorkshire, by which
nine persons we're killed and a large
number injured. The express train,
which leaves Edinburgh every evening
tOr London, was running at full sped
as 1t approached Thirsk, when ahead
OF 1t appeared heavily laden goods
train. The engineer of the express re-.
Versed his engine and put on the
brakes, but the momentum of the
neavy express was too great, and IL
dashed into the goods train making a
most terrible wreck. To add to the
horror the cars caught fire and were
destroyed. A large number OF persons
from nearby places were soon at the
scene and did everything possible to
extricate the dead and injured. The
burning cars greatly hampered their
efforts, but had 1t not been for their
bravery the loss of life would have been
much greater. Ttes g. 10 atthe wreck
Is plttable. Some of the bodies taken
out of the debris are burned beyond all
resemblance to humanity. Their cloth
ing had been destroyed, and in some
cases the jewelry worn was melted by
the intense heat. This will render the
Identification of the dead extremely
difficult, If not altogether impossible.
"A wrecking train was dispatched to
the scene aS soon as the fact of the dis.
aSter became known. A number of
physicians were carried TO the wreck

Marshal MacOGahon's Geography.

The mention in some gossip from
London of Vicomte d'Harcourt's name
recalls an interesting story of Marshal
MacMahon's ignorance of geography.
When Henri Rochefort escaped from
New Caledonia the news of his landing
at Sydney was conveyed to Marshal
MacMahon by dHarcourt, who was
generally supposed to be the real presl-
dent of the French republic. The
marshal, much concerned by this news,
said: ''This is very serious; we must
telegraph at once to the United States
government and see if eXtradition can
not be obtained" The faithful vicomte
whispered to his master: "But Mon
sieur lie Marechal, Sydney is not in the
United States; it is in Australia. :"
Whereupon the marshal, whose knowl-
edge of geography had never been very
extensive, threw up his arms and ex-
claimed in admiration: "That devil of

The sin-Eater.

This, perhaps, will be as good place
as any for recording a very remarkable
custom which prevailed up to, say,
couple of hundred years ago. There
was in one of the villages adjoining
Wales an old man VINO was called the
s'sin-eater.' His Office was, for trifling
consideration, to pawn $50 to speal)
his own soul for the ease and rest of a
soul departed. When a person died,
notice was given to him, and he at once
went to the house of the deceased. n
cricket, i. e., stool-was brought and
he sat down in front of the door. A
groat, a crust of bread and full bowl
of ale were given to him, after the con-
sumption of which he rose and pro-
nounced the cease and rest of the soul
departed, for which he would pawn his
own SOUL twas believed that this GER
emony would free the departed soul
from walking" thenceforth. 1t is
probable that this strange custom was
originally connected in some way with
the ceremony of the scapegoat under
the law (Lev 1921 believe that
this institution of the ''sin-eater" was
in later times mainly confined to the
county of Hereford; but there is rea-
son to believe that it once prevailed
generally in Wales.-Rev. j. %. Vaux,
