An African Kings Emily.

Tho following is an extract from q
letter written by O French lady in Sene-
gal and published in Paris newspaper,
referring to visit to King Behanzin of
Dahomey, OH board the SECOND: 1.-The
king, followed by five wives and four
children, of whom ono is q handsome
boy, thon came forward in silk man
tlo striped with black and blue and
elegantly draped. His head was bare,
and he had Oh his feet sandals held on
by crossed bands embroidered In woods
Of many colors. He smoked q large
ebony pipe, tho bowl and shank of which
were circle6 with silver. His French is
limited to bon jour and ami, and 1 am
the first white woman he ever saw, and
tho sight of mo astonishcd him. He at
first gazed at me, then loared with
laughter, and when he had roarod till he
was tired looked around and asked
where my husband was. The interpreter
having pointed him out, he took him by
the shoulder and gave him friendly
shake which was rs much as to say,
What Il lucky fellow you arel' One of
the five wives cooks. Sho has lost all
her teeth. Tho others stand around the
deposed king. The children are very
nice Behalizin is elderly, about 30, and
has white head of hair He hardly
knows how to walk, because on account
of his rank he has always been carried. I"

The Queen Yields.

Even the queen felt herself obliged to
yield to the storm of protests aroused
by limiting the attendance at the annu-
al drawing rooms. Instead, however, of
admitting the usual crush at each occa-
sion. she decided to give special re-
ception in the latter part of May, to
which 900 who were unable to obtain
places on the first lists will be admitted

The decline in this stock was due TO

not disposed to enter into new engage

The following reports of the
condition of the health of Harde-

State Board of Health Bulletin:
DR.. James J. Nicely, County
Health Officer, Bolivar. -ssThe
prevailing diseases in the coun-
tv have been measles, chicken-pox
and mumps, in the order named,
which started in the northwestern

On last Wednesday evening
the elite of Bolivar were entertain
ed by Rev. w. S. Cochran and lady
in a most charming manner. The
night was favorable for croquet
which was enjoyed for awhile, the
yard being Illuminated by colored
lights, whose brilliancy would have
ecl1psed s'pale luna's beams" had
she been visible on that evening"
After croquet some time was spent
very proftably with the poets by
guessing the authorship of different
quotations. A prize, consisting of
gold thrust pin, was offered to the
one sending in the most correct an
swers: This was awarded to Miss
Laura Tate. Miss Sadie Durrett win
ming the second prize, lamb which
was presented to her by Mr.. Cochran
who recited in a graphic manner the
we'll known poem, ''Mary had lit
tie lamb" An observation lesson
on leaves was next given, which
created a good deal of sport. All
good things must have an end, so
good nights were reluctantly said,
and memories of pleasant evening
spent will long remain in the minds
of those who were fortunate enough
to be present.

WHITEWLLE BARBECUE.
The GongressionalGan
DefUer Speeches.

On Wednesday, July 4th,
the people Of Whiteville and
vicinity gave a public barbe-
cue in the grove near the de-
pot. Between 500 and 600
people from all parts Of Har-
deman and from sections of
Fayette were present. A
dozen or more candidates,
principally for county offices,
were among the number. At
10 o'clock dinner was an
nounced. A circular-formed
table, $50 feet in length,
was conveniently erected. In
addition to about thirty car
casses, barbecued to perfec-
ton, there were numbers of
baskets and boxes, containing
ham, chickens, pies, cakes,
pickles, and in fact every
thing necessary to satisfy the
appetite. When all of these
good things were spread upon
the table, a tempting scene
was presented. In az order.
ly manner the crowd assem-
bled, the ladies on the inside
and the gentlemen on the
outside of the table, and for
one solid hour did justice to
the occasion. An abundance
was left untouched. Cool,
refreshing water from a
neighboring we'll was con-
tinually passed around. Not
one single thing was left I'M
done for the convenience of
the crowd. Every possible
courtesy was shown to the
visitors. The barbecue was
a grand success and was high
ly enjoyed. It was but an
other testimonial of the fact
that the hospitality of White
vile is unsurpassed.
The afternoon was devoted
to speaking. In view of the
fact that the barbecue was
given in honor of Hon. Josiah
Patterson, and of the further
fact that it was impossible
for that gentleman to attend
a committee was appointed to
wait upon the speakers and
inform them that no personal
attack upon Col. Patterson
would be tolerated. No OBJ
lection was offered to the dis.
cussion of political questions
in a manly way, but any re.
i Election upon Col, Patterson
would have been resented.
The first speaker was Mr.
/ c.. A. Miller. He expressed
pleasure at the opportunity

afforded Of addressing the
people Of his native county.
And then, for three quarters
of an hour, by reference to
manuscript, he discussed the
political situation. He spoke
of the unrest existing among
the people, of the strikes, the
depression in business, the
scarcity of money, the low
price of farm products-and
advocated as a panacea for
these ills the free coinage OF
silver, which he claimed
would bring peace and pros
perity. He said that he had
no war to wage on the illus
trious Grover Cleveland, but
that he differed with him in
regard to the financial ques-
ton, and he also believed
that Mr.. Cleveland was too
independent of the voice of
his party, too much disposed
to be dictatorial. He inform
ed the audience that every
candidate who ran for Office
this year would be compelled
to stand on a free silver plat
form; that state and county
conventions would adopt free
silver platforms, and the can
didate who could not stand
on them would just have to
get off. He favored the re-
peal of the ten per cent. tax
on state banks, and a reduc-
ton o. the tariff.
Col. Casey Young was The
next speaker. He did not
use notes. In the outset he
paid a high tribute to the de-
mocracy of Hardeman, from
whom he had received honors
in former years. He had
thought that he would never
again make an effort to enter
public life, but acknowledged
that he who had once listened
to the siren voice of politics
found it ever afterwards diff
cult to resist. He thought
that the conditions of the
country demanded the servi-
des of our wisest and most
patriotic men. He said he
would be willing, if the peo-
pie so desired, to represents
the Tenth District in con-
gress. He paid a handsome
compliment to both of his
opponents. This was the
first speech he had made in
the canvass, and he refused
to discuss public questions on
account of the absence of Col.
Patterson, over whom he
did not desire, nor would he
accept any advantage. He
regretted that any action had
been taken in the district;
be thought it but just and
fair that action be deferred
until Col. p. could return.
1t was his decided opinion
that the Congressional Exec
utive Committee of the Tenth
District shouldcall a primary
election, to be held sometime
about the first Of October, to
settle the congressional mat
ter. He said this would give
all ample time to be heard.
He hoped that the committee
in Hardeman County would
rescind its action. He simply
desired that his absent oppo-
nent be treated with the
courtesy due him,
At the conclusion of Col,
Young's speech, Mr.. w. A.
Ross announced himself as a
candidate for County Repre-
sentative.
