DESTROYED BY FIRE,
Riley Wright Loses His House and Furnl,
ture.--A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Riley Wright, who resides
on Rushing's Creek, near Bristow,
had the misfortune to get his house
destroyed by fire Friday night of
last week. The family had retired
at an early hour, and Mr.. Wright
was awakened a few hours later by
the roaring noise of the fire which
had gained considerable Roadway
and was beyond control In fact
the members Of the family barely
escaped with their lives. Hastily
collecting his family together after
leaving the burning building Mr.,
Wright made the discovery that
there was one missing. We believe
it was one Of the children that was
overlooked in the excitement and
hurry Of leaving the building. II
was found still asleep, utterly un-
conscious Of the impending danger
which surrounded it, and was res
cused not a moment to soon, for
just as they made their escape the
roof Of the building give way and
fell in with loud crash, and in a
comparatively short time all that
was left of a contented and happy
home had been reduced to ashes,
1t seems that the origin of the
fire is not known. Two beds and
two comforters is all that was saw
ed from the fire, The family lost
all their clothing, furniture, ETC.,
and the loss falls very heavily upon
Mr.. Wright just at this time The
building was the property Of Mr.,
S. W. Lockhart. Nothing was in
sured.

and that the Offices will not go beg
ging nextyear. Itseems to be gen.
orally understood though no ac-
ton has been taken by the commit
tee in the matter-that the usual
primary election will be held by the
Democrats, and let the best man
win in free for all race. Primary
elections do not seem altogethersat-
isfactory to the Republican idea of
politics, at least they always avoid
them, and that party will doubtless
if they name ticket at all-pur-
sue the old cut-and-dried policy Of
a few Of the most prominent leaders
getting together and preparing the
sacrifice.

COUNTY POLITICS.

While the next general election
to be held in this State is nearly a
year off yet, it has already aroused
considerable interest in this coun-
ty, and even at this early date there
are quite number of our citizens
who have for some time been avow-
ed candidates for each Office in the
county to be filed, and perhaps as
many and more are being talked of
by their friends. Every public day
at this place numerous aspirants for
public favors can be seen on the
streets and in the corridors of ou1
temple of justice busily engaged in
making themselves agreeable to the
adult visitor in town from the vari.
Gus sections Of the county. The
wire-pullers have also been getting
in their work, and while the coun
ty committees have held no meet
ings, yetthe well-knownleade
manipulators of county politics arr
industriously but quietly engaged
in laying their plans, if there is any
thing in the usual signs. All thes,
things are good indications that
strong interest is being worked up

ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE.
Timely Help Saves II. j. Bomar's Home
from Destruction.

About 100 clock Friday morning
of last week the roof of Mr.. r.. J.
Bomar's kitchen was discovered to
be on fire, The fire was burning
in the ceiling also, and had gained
considerable Roadway, but fortu-
nately Messrs G. N. Dickerson, j.
p. Barnes, Joe Bedwell and others,
who were passing at the time, sue
ceeded in putting out the fire before
it got beyond control The origin
Of the fire is not really known, bat
it was doubtless communicated to
the roof by spark from the fue,
and everything being SO very dry it
burned readily and rapidly.
The citizens of Camden are al
ways prompt to respond to an alarm
of fire, and they can always be de-
pended on to go in any emergency
of the kind. This was demonstrate
ed on the above occasion, but we
regret to observe that nearly every
body seemed to have lost sight OF
the most important object Of going
to the fire. A few carried water
buckets, but with these exceptions
no one was prepared to extinguish
the fire, and if it had been under
full Roadway the large crowd would
have been almost powerless to dc
anything. In the absence of a reg
ular organized fire company, We
suggest that when an alarm is giyel
let our first thoughts be Of the aiC

CAMDEN CEMETERY.
The Silent City Thoroughly Cleaned off
and Soon to have New Fence.

The Silent City Thoroughly Cleaned Off
and Soon to have New Fence,
While it was rather dry and the
soil too hard to attempt to beautify
the grounds and plant flowers and
shrubbery, the work Of cleaning off
the cemetery was well done by a
large force Wednesday, and all that
is necessary to be done at the pres
ent time is a substantial enclosure
to take the place of the present di-
lapidated and decaying fence. We
understand that some of the ladies
of the town, who have interested
themselves in this good work, are in
communication with manufactures
to furnish the necessary material,
and if the expense is not too great
an effort will be made to erect a
substantial iron fence around the
cemetery.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1898.
UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL.


The Wilson bill, which passed the
House Monday, provides for the
repeal of that portion Of the Sher-
man act Of July IA, 1890, which
authorizes the purchase of silver
bullion by the Secretary of the
Treasury, that this act shall in no
way impair, or in any manner af-
feet the legal-tender quality of the
standard silver dollars heretofore
coined, and it is declared that the
United States shall maintain the
parity of the two metals, gold and
silver, at the established ratio, or
such other ratio as shall be estab-
lished by law, The promptness
with which the House has respond
ed to the demands of the people is
beyond precedent, and even the
friends Of the measure did not an
ticipate so large majority for the
bill.
The vote on the 16 to l ratio
amendment was, yeas 1913, nays
225; II to 1 ratio amendment, yeas
100, nays 240; Is to / ratio amend
ment, yeas 1872, nays 239; 10 to l
ratio amendment, yeas los, nays
237; 20 to l ratio amendment, yeas
119, nays 222; amendment to re-
enact the Bland-Allison bill, yeas
136, nays 231; the Wilson bill tc
repeal the Sherman law, yeas 240
nays ITO. So the vote upon the
amendments varied very little from
the vote upon the main question
which is a matter Of general sur.
prise. 1t seems to have been 6
general stampede, which has ut
terly amazed the Western Repre-
sentatives. It is an emphatic en-
dorsement of President CLEvE
LANDS message, and will have {
wholesome influence over the &C
ton of the Senate.
In the Senate Mr., VOORHEES,
chairman of the finance committee
promptly reported back the Hous
bill repeating part Of the Sherman
act, with an amendment in the ma
ture of a substitute. A stubborn
fight is promised in that body.

NEW BRIDGES.
Two Substantial Structures for Highway
Travellers.

lTaNoltIbs
Judge B. G. Scruggs, who went
down Tuesday to examine the new
bridge across Big Sandy River at
Warren's Turnpike, informs us that
it is a splendid structure, well built,
and equal in strength to those Of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railroad, This bridge is re-
ally of more advantage to Henry
County than it is to Benton, in the
way Of trade and convenience, and
if the county court of that comfy
will do the right thing in the mat
ter it will appropriate at least q
sufficient amount to pay one-third
the cost of its erection, about $245
We understand that the new iron
bridge across Birdsong Greek, al
Ballew Ford, has been completed
except the abutments, and work
will be commenced on them as
soon as the necessary preliminary
arrangements can be made.

WHO GOT "Boss" KELLY's SHEEP

Robert YarbrOugh, COlored, Arrested for

Robert Yarbrough, colored, who
has been assisting in revival meet

Camden, was arrested while in the
pulpit Tuesday evening and lodged
in jail ON a charge of appropriating
sheep, the property of Mr.. I. H.
Kelly. 1t developed Wednesday
morning, however, that the negro
could readily prove his innocence
of the charge, and he was released
This does not remove the fact, how,
ever, that Mr.. Kelly is still out just
one sheep, and will prosecute the
thief if apprehended.

WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS.

WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS.
The Nashville correspondent of
the Memphis Commercial says that
Hon. TAUM BAKER will be the Re
publican candidate for Congress in
this district; that THBAsHEB will
not try it again--his only claim to
recognition is that he has money,
and that BAKER, who has been CO.
quoting with the Alliance-Populite
crowd, thinks that if he can get the
stuff" he will give Congressman
ENLoE a deal Of trouble next year
1t is well-known to the friends Of
Colonel BAKER that he has had a
laundering to go to Washington for
10! these many years, but SO far as
the voters Of the Eighth Congress
sional District are concerned he is
no nearer the goal Of his ambition
now as a straddler than he was when
he " fopped" because he felt that
his merits were not deseryedly rec
ognized with oficewhen he profess
ed Democracy. Money can not con-
troll elections in the Eighth Con
gressional District. We had a test
of this last year when THRAsHEB
backed by the combined aid of the
district, State, and National Com.
mittees Of both the Republican and
Populite parties and RAUM and his
influence behind them with an un.
limited supply of DOODLE, utterly
failed in the attempt at wholesale
corruption of the Alliance.
