The Republican papers are trying
to make the country believe that
immigration does not find its way
southwark because there are occa-
sional lynchings Of brutal criminals
in dissection. A few years ago
Judge Lynch was the only person
who held court in the West, but
this fact did not prevent that part
Of the country from attracting
hardy immigrants from Europe.
and it is safe to say that when the
tide Of immigration is turned in
this direction the lynching Of . few
negro ravlshers Of white women will
not serve as the slightest check.
The failure Of the South to secure
her share OF the immigration that
has poured into the United States
Is due to the fact that our people
have not exerted themselves to adj
vertise the resources Of the South,
the fertility Of her soil. her genial
climate, vast forests and rich mines
OF coal and iron. The time will
come when, despite the misrepre-
sensations and the efforts put forth
to retard her progress, the South
will be in full enjoyment of her day
Of prosperity, and nothing can pre-
vent it.-Daily States.

COST OF COLUMBUS EXPE.
DITION.

The cost Of discovering America
by Columbus, says Prof. Ruge, in
the "Globus," was l. l4O, 600 mara
vedis, or about s. ,296 Of our money.
The money Of Queen Isabella, Of
course, had . higher purchasing
power than the dollar Of to-day.
OF the sum named. Columbus re-
ceived an annual salary Of $500,
and the two captains each 1912 per
wear. Each sailor, in addition to
his subsistence, received 81 IS per
month, or one ducat.

managed to get away from shore,
leaving two white men, who were
prisoners. About this time father
began to devise some plan as to our
safety. He finally thought it best
10 put on . bold front, and 60
right past the boat a. If nothing had
transpired. just before we got to
the AZ we saw = skiff coming be-
hind Ter, as If to overtake her, but
pulled slower and slower until out Of
reach Of their muskets. Then they
turned and rowed for the village
as hard as they could. Father was
ordered to come aboard by Capt
Edwards himself, and accordingly
he headed the pirogue for the A.
She had by this time taken her
boat on board and was under way
for the lake, which was only two
hundred yards ahead. Father tried
to play these Yankees . Yankee
trick, but the other skin which had
just fooled them put them ON their
guard, and they came on the upper
roof Of the boat with . musket and
told father il he didn't come they
would he fire down on him. Faith
er then told us to paddle hard and
we were soon aboard the gun boat.
Father was told that he must con-
slider himself q prisoner. The Al
steamed along the eastern shore
of the lake, about . mile from
shore, and we could plainly see the
two rebels walking up the beach
with these two Federals whom they
had taken prisoners. The captain
of the gunboat did not shoot at
them for fear Of hurting his own
men. Thus things went on until
the boat anchored of Vaudeville,
when the captain sent . flag Of truce
ashore, saying that he demanded
the release of those two prison.
ers, and il his request was refused,
he would reduce the town to ashes.
The rebels reply was a. follows !:
s'The first shot that strikes this
town will cause one Of these Yam
KEGS to be hung, and the second
shot the other one will follow"
With this message the flag Of truce
returned and Capt. Edwards weigh
ed anchor and went of. He had
on board . blockade runner whom
they had captured before taking
father and US two boys. 1t was
something amusing to see my step
brother nursing one Of Yankees
who had got wounded in the skirm-
ish. He was shot in the throat,
and made q very disagreeable
sound whenever he gasped for
breath, and the blood would squirt
from the wound. Brother would
jump every time he gasped. The
physician on board administered
his drugs with all haste. But he
died in y few hours. Whatever
became Of the corpse I don't know.
Every morning all ON board had
to answer roll call, then again at
night 1t was quite comical to see
that blockade runner assume the
manner and ways Of one insane.
At each roll call, he would sit as
though his name had not been call
ed. When saked If the name call
ed was not his he would answer
mo" "Well what is your name, F"
whereupon he would give another.
to be denied at next roll call.

THE ACT OF A POLTROON.
A BAND PLAYER BADLY CUT
IN THE NOSE.
Some Miscreant Snapped a Stone a,
Him Last Night From Sling
His Hurts.

Jules Frates trombone player in
the Government band, received a
severe wound in the nose last evening
while engaged in playing at the open
air concert given at Emma hail.
The affair is mysterious, as it is not
known by the wounded man or his
companions either how the injury was
inflicted or by whom.
Mr. Frates was busy at the time, his
eyes following the notes that he was
playing, when suddenly, and without
any warning whatever, something struck
him on the nose near the bridge and at
once a torrent of blood blinded him.
On examination it was found that a
rather deep and ugly cut had been
made, and from the nature of the
wound it would appear to have been
caused by small, sharp. cornered stone,
fired from slingshot.
None Of the band members have the
faintest idea as to who could have any
motive in doing such thing if directed
against one of their number in his
capacity as player, and the injured
man is ignorant of any personal enemy
who would be likely to strike such a
towards blow in the dark. Band
master Berger, when asked about it last
night, thought the assault was partly
due to there being no police officers
present
Mr. Frates' injury is not serious, but
very painful, and some Of the band
boys, when speaking of the affair last
evening, indicated that for the preserva
ton of a whole skin the cowardly
thrower of stones would do well to
remain unknown.
