Policemen Dine at Niger school"
Miss Lucy II. Tapley. teacher in Spell
man Seminary, Georgia. has written to a
friend in this county, as follows:
We had our Xmas dinner on Monday,
Dec. 26, and had the faculty from Atlanta
Seminary here as guests, and tloO police
men, which was quite an event. One OF
them was a man had had some dealings
with in business way several times, and
he had promised US suitable protection
during the holidays. liked the man very
much, believed he was an honest Southern
gentleman, and Miss Giles and the other
teachers were quite anxious TO meet him.
Monday morning in company with another
he called at the office, said they should
ride through the grounds at least once an
hour and they thought we need fear no
shots. They also asked if they could look
around the buildings, and Miss Giles was
very glad to show them round and got
them to promise that they would come at
! O'Clock and eat Xmas dinner with us.
They did so, were taken into the reception
room and introduced to all the company
and seemed to have fine time. When
they left they said any time they could aid
US officially or as gentlemen they would be
pleased to do so.
1t was big thing for US. No .Southerner
ever accepted an invitation to q big din
ner in "nigger school, before. and it
will go all over the city. The ball fred in
here at election time is the only one we
have had this year. That was from a
Winchester and just passed over Miss
Packards head; twas a pretty close call
for her; but there is nothing like being
good friends with the police, and six OF
the rowdies who have been singing balls
at US in years past, have been arrested this
fall and put into the chain gang for from
five to ten years-that will sober them
down q little

AT caucus of the Republican legis-
lators of Maine, last week, at Augusta,
Senator Hale received the unanimous
nomination to succeed himself in the
United States Senate. or course this &C.
ton is very gratifying to the AMERICAN
and the people of Hancock county; and
we are greatly pleased because it seems
equally gratifying to all the newspapers of
Maine and to the people of the whole
state. Even the Democratic papers have
only good words for Senator Hale.
The denomination OF Senator Eugene
Hale, so ably and effectively has he served
bis State and the country, came as mat
ter of course. In this action, the Republi-
can legislative caucus on "Wednesday even
ing expressed the unanimous will of its
constituency. A few weeks ago, the Jour
nal gave a sketch of Senator Hsle's public
life and achievements. He is recognized
as one of the leaders in the upper branch
of Congress and Maine can point with true
maternal satisfaction to this sons distin-
gulshed abilities, while as the best friend
of our new Navy the whole Nation must
acknowledge her Indebtedness to the Sena-
r.-Lelriston,, journal.
