JERRY SIMPSON.
Hive Gies His Views on the Recent
Elections.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 10.-Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson, of Kansas,
said of the elections: sit was simply
scare among the masses. There are
a lot of lunatics in the country who
know nothing themselves, and We're
made to believe by the Republican
press that the threatened revision Of
the tariff portended evil to the work
ing classes. Besides this, they blame
the Democratic party for the existing
business depression, which, is mat
ter of fact, is result of iniquitOus
Republican legislation. In New York
the attempt of the machine politicians
to force Maynard upon the people is
responsible for the result. McKin-
ley's election makes him the logical
Republican candidate for President in
1896. The tariff question will be the
issue again.

GAFFNEYs, S. g, Nov. 9.-Bot

TO have been the author of these at

Mrs. John Carroll Snot,

While Mrs. John Carroll who lives
in Macedonia was attending the bed
side of her neighOor, Mrs. Jackson,
Monday night, Nov. 9th, some one
from the outside discharged gun.
Several shot passed through the glass
door of the house and struck Mrs.
Carroll in the back of the head, max
ing a scalp wound, says the High
Point Enterprise. 1t is to be hoped
that the shooting was accidental, but
even in this case it would be criminal

dangerously wounded but is suffering

THE TOBACCO TAX,
The Winston Representative Think it
VIII Not bs Raised.

VIII Not bs Raised.
AS a result of the various interviews
the Winston tobacco men who went
to Washington say they are sanguine
that the tax on manufactured tobacco
will not be increased, and that provis-
ion of the Mckinley law as to leaf to-
bacco will not be re-enacted. The
Secretary has made no recommends
tion of the kind and both he and the
Commissioner are opposed to troubling
tobacco. These gentlemen understand
that the committee is not likely to
increase the tax of six cents on the
pound, but they have Il subcommittee
to look after things if it is proposed
to disturb the situation.
A distinguished member of the ways
and means committee says that the
internal revenue features of the bill
are not yet arranged.
Mr.. Il. }. REYNOLDS saws thft he feels
confident that the tax VIII not be
raised. He bases this opinion on the
remarks of Secretary Carlisle and
various members of the committee.

1.-the and graceful. About him was an
air Of refinement seldom found under .

war which called out men from all
classes. both in the north and In the
south. His hair was light; his blue eye
was restless and denoted its possessor

While there was something statuesque
In the appearance of the man and the

have been informed that the brown

or at least take possession OF those they
find lying on the ground and roll them
into their nests. Although this does not
seem at all likely for various reasons,
cannot dispute 1t authoritatively. and,
moreover, there were strong proofs that
such was the case in many nests that
examined i'm Florida. These nests,
which were near together. often con-
tanned four eggs, never more, one to
three of which were ready to hatch. the
