my Dear Sendtor:- Permit me to congratu-

tainly congratulate the state. | hope you
may til the office as long as your venera BILE
colleague has done, and as much longer as
you may feel inclined, and that | may live

election. In these days when so many high
places are unworthily filled, and when the
general average of your body has shared TO
a considerable extent the common misfor-
tune, L am glad and proud that our own
little state is keeping up in your election the
high standard in the senate il has so long,
and indeed always, maintained. Let me
thank you also tor the very kind words so
gracefully spoken in your speech of accep-
lance in respect to myself. l wish they
We're better deserved but ] do not know
but it is better than to deserve them, to en-
joy a friendship partial enough to think
them deserved And quite aside from my
self, it is pleasant to see an example set of
those kindly amenities between political OPP
ponents which used to be more common
than they now are"

Envy is a Poison.

The greatest flood has the soonest
ebb, the sorest temper the most sud-
den calm; the hottest love the coolest
end; and from the deepest desire often
times ensues the deadliest hate. A
wise man had rather be envied for pro-
violence than pitied for prodigality.
Revenge harketh only at the stars, and
spite spurns at that she can not reach
An envious man wakes lean with the
fairness of his neighbors. Envy is the
daughter of pride, the author of muir

solutions and the perpetual tormentor

THE four Gospels have been ikened
to four pictures of the same objects
taken at different angles. The historic
problem of unity in diversity is no
harder to solve than the pictorial. The
seeming Inconsistencies, as DIR. Alexan-
der reminded us years ago, resulting in
the effort to amalgamate the narratives,
ought no more to destroy our faith in
their eventual harmony than similar
point OF disagreement in four photo
graphic views of the same ediice or
landscape ought to make us question
either the identity of the object or the
absolute truth of the delineation. Each
would be correct from it's own stand
point. ~

no. The house was full of ex-

the returned husband found that the

unrolled from the blanket the child he

Brutal Murder by a Negro.

MULLEN, Ga, Aug. 13.-News has
just reached here of the brutal MUIR
der in Emanuel county of John Drew,
an S-year-old white boy. While lott
ering with several companions on a
fishing tour he stopped at a farm
house to get drink of water. In the
yard he was met by Geo. Drenton, a
negro, who whipped out revolver
and killed Drew without word. The
negro had threatened the boy's life
before because of quarrel over a
trifling matter. The murderer es-
capped. If captured he will be lynched,

to be in an exceedingly dilapidated

they become.
Alderman Schuber, who has had
considerable experience in such work,
had with him sketch he had made,
showing the outlines of rock culvert,
built in the form of half circle, with
a radius of twenty-five feet. He had
figured on the cost of putting in such
a structure and was of the opinion
that the work could be done at
a cost not exceeding $4,000, with the
probability of its being done for much
less, owing 20 the scarcity of work at
present.
The commissioners will meet again
this morning, and will probably
formulate their ideas into proposal
to be presented to the committee, and
which will be submitted to the coun-
Gil next Monday night.

fifths of the delegates being old time
Democrats. Ed G.. Smith was elected
chairman. There were ten negro

was their spokesman. For state sem
ator, Dr. N. c. Norris of Dallas was
nominated, defeating w. r. Cole, who
was bounced from the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee last winter on
account of his subtreasury
views. 1t will be remembered that
Hon. Webb Finley wrote his famous
letter in this case justifying the action
of the committee. Cole felt his defeat
keenly but was somewhat Modified by
a unanimous nomination for represent

poll heavy vote. Prof. Thomas A.
Lacy of Hutchins was given the
second place on the legislative ticket,

Switchmen's Strlke at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, Aug. 13.-The switch
men of the New York East and West
Lehigh Valley and Buffalo Creek
railways are on strike. The object
is virtually to obtain higher wages
although the question of ten hour
day is involved and of necessity be-
comes an auxiliary to the wage ques-
ton. The switchmen are those en-
ployed to couple the CARS, make up
and send out trains and in a general
way perform the work around the
yard. The name would seem simply
hose who tIrn switches. About 200
men are thus far out. The men de-
mand higher pay and that twenty
six days, ten hours each, shall consti-
tute months work. They also de-
mand that all time over ten hours be
paid for at fixed rate.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-Superintend-

charges by Geo. Symser of the Tex
arkana and Fort Smith railroad in
Texas against Policeman Farrell,
whom he charges with blackmail and
robbery. Symser was arrested on
Broadway July l for intoxication.
He claims he was not intoxicated at
the time and he was arrested for no
apparent reason. He claims that he
lost one thosand-dollar diamond in
the struggle which ensued and Tat
the policeman and confederate at
tempted to eXtort money from him to
secure his release. Superintendent
Byrnes thinks it strange that Symser
should have waited so long to make
complaint. He is inclined to doubt
the story. Symser he says will have
redress if things are as he states but
he may have to come from Texas to
prove his cause.

tie. The legalists were 1000 strong
under Generals Hernandez and Gil
They appeared before the city early
this morning and demanded of the
commander of the government forces
that he surrender. He refused and
this precipitated an engagement.
Hernandez and Gil, at the head of
their forces, advanced on the position
of the government troops and at
tackled in the face of MUIR
derous fire. rhe attack was
made with desperate courage
and repulsed with equal vigor. For
a time the decision hung in the
balance but at last numbers told and
the government was driven back
though contesting every inch of
ground. 1t was not until Generals
Saacara, Acosta and Ladulla had been
killed at the head of their troops that
the government ranks broke and re-
tired in disorder leaving 500 dead on
the field. The Legalists while losing
no great officers suffered full as much
us the government troops, losing
