Mr.. NJ. B. Dendy, Nominee for House
OF Representatives from Oeonee,
Strong for Democracy.

MEssRs. EDITORS: read with some
degree of alarm an article in the Green
Vile Ne,cs, of September I'd, copied from
the Augusta Chronicle, which purports
to be political prognosis OF Editor
Bowden. of the Cotton Plant, and IN
which he seems confident that in fort-
nights time we will have Third Party,
or Peoples Party Electors in the fleld'
thus precipitating, or bringing to the
front, another political party, after the
work of the passing political campaign
has already been, in great measure
finished within the old Democratic or
ganization.
1t is believed by my brethren OF the
Alliance that there is perhaps no one IN
Oconee county in better position than
myself to .sornd the note of warning
against any such movement in the county
or the entire State. This opinion IS
founded upon the following facts:
1t will be remembered by most OF the
delegates who participated in the work
Of the first County Democratic Conven-
ton, held May I'd, 1892, that 1 advocated
the adoption of the ST. Louis platform OF
principles; that as soon as that PLATFORM
in all but the name. was made the plat
form of the Oconee County Democracy,
moved to adjourn, though we had not
as vet elected delegates to the State Con-
yention to meet in May. well remem-
Der that at least two-thirds, or probably
three-fourths of that convention, were
members of the Farmers Alliance, and
although they were afforded an opportu-
nitv then ard there to cut loose from the
Democratic party by adopting my motion
20 adjourn. and thus take no part IN the
work of nominating Democratic Presl-
dental ticket, leaving us free 10 act IN
the future as our best judgment and in-
terest might incline US to DO, yet this
they did not do.
But / desire to say to my brethren OF
the Farmers Alliance that feel 1t to be,
so far as I am concerned. an indisputable
fact that we are all bound by oath and
our sacred honor to work for and support
with our ballots all the Democratic noml-
nees. National. state and County, and
anv departure from this course amounts
10 an inexcusable breach OF faith, and
will surely lead to disintesration OF the
Democratic party in this State.

A woman's Revenge.

One of the leading residents at Raincy,
in the department of Seine-et-Oise, was
the Widow Tardiveau, wealthy, fat, fair
and forty. Among her special favorites
was young Raoul Gaullin. He was not
enamored of the widow, but found it
profitable to allow her to suppose that he
was. In time she set him up in bust
ness. Raoul fell in love with Rosalie
Bertol and an engagement and be-
trothal soon took place. The widow at
first was furious, but by degrees she
grew more calm and then professed her.
self heartbroken. She soon fell into
decline and died of rapid consumption
after brief illness.
On her deathbed Mime. Tardiveau
granted full and free pardon to the
two amorous young people, and in her
will left the prospective bride small
gift of money, accompanied by pint of
rare old Malaga, with yellow seal.
The bottle was not to be opened until
the wedding day, when it was to be
drank to the memory of the dear de-
parted.
During the joyous festivities, and at
the end of the supper, the wine was un-
corked, and the bride and groom, to-
gether with the best man, drank the
contents. In a second they had fallen
to the floor, dead. The wine had been
mixed with prussic acid. The widow
was avenged.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Ancient Chinese Bridges.

Suspension bridges which were built
in the time of the Han dynasty (202 B.
c. to 220 A. d. are still standing, strik-
ing examples of oriental engineering
skill. According to historical and geo.
graphical writers of China it was Shang
Lieng, Kaen Tsu's chief of command,
who undertook to construct the first
public roads in the Flowery Empire. AT
that time it was almost impossible for
the province of Shense to communicate
with the capital. Lieng took an army
of O,0O0 workmen and cut great gorges
through the mountains, filling up the
canyons and valleys with the debris
from his excavations. At places where
deep gorges were traversed by large
and rapidly flowing streams he actually
carried out his plan of throwing suspen-
sion bridges, stretching from one slope
to the other.
These crossings, appropriately styled
flying bridges" by early Chinese writ
ers, are high and dangerous looking in
the extreme. At the present day bridge
may still be seen in the Shense which is
400 feet long and is stretched over a
chasm more than 1000 feet deep. How
those early engineers erected such a
structure with the tools and appliances
at their command is a mystery which
will probably never be explained.-S
Louis Republic.
