IF the friends of Capt Kolb are to be believed the recent gubernatorial cleo tion in Alabama has been productive of some queer arithmetic. They gravely assert that in Lowndes county, with a registration of 2,5O0 and an actual vote of 1,500, Mr. Oates received, according to the returns. majority of 4.60O, ac- cording to which the gallant captain must have polled 3,l00 votes less than none at all

TIE national guard of Pennsylvania consists of eight thousand seven hun dred men, and all but seventy-three of them reported for duty at the camp on the field of Gettysburg. The national military parks of the United States will be the great places for the muster tering of its forces, and the movement to put the field of Shiloh on the same footing as Chickamauga and Gettys- burg ought to go through without delay.

THE Chinese emperor, in order to stimulate his soldiers to daring deeds, has offered heavy rewards for the heads of Japanese soldiers, grading the price according to rank. What an elevating sight it would be to watch a Chinese army going into battle with its soldiers loaded down with Japanese heads taken in previous engagements; and how the celestials would scratch and claw to become possessed of the accumulated trophies of a comrade who should accidentally stop g Japanese bullet.

WAR is costly pastime. We know 1t, having been there. China and Japan will pay dearly for the fun of the bloody war upon which they have now entered. They will not only have guns, ships. and other implements of war to buy, but as the conflict pro- gresses Japan, at any rate, will have to depend upon some of the other nations for food supplies. China is already borrowing money, for which it will pay fat interest.

The murder was committed at the Thousand Dripping springs. Brock was returning from town accompanied by white wom- an, when they met Murrell and Linchard.

Van Horns Slayer Given Two Years.

In the Logan county circuit court the jury, after being out about two days, returned a verdict of guilty, as charged in the indictment, and set the punishment of Sam Roberts, the slayer of N. N. Van Horn, at two years in the penitentiary. The evil dence showed that Roberts and Van Horn had been on bad terms for some time previous to the killing. On the day before the killing they met, talked the matter over and decided to be friends Later on some one told Van Horn something which Roberts said about him, and they revived the feud. Early next morning Van Horn went to the house of Roberts, and, calling him out, told him what he had heard, and said he had come to make him retract. Roberts replied that he had said noth- ing. Upon this Van Horn struck Rob- erts with club, knocking him to the ground. Van Horn continued to pound his victim. Finally Roberts called for his gun, which was brought by a younger Roberts, and as young Van Horn was beating retreat with all possible speed, Roberts raised his Win chester and brought his victim down at the second shot.

NORTHWEST SECTION.

Local showers have been frequent during this week, though some locali- ties still remain dry and consequently all crops are suffering for rain. The northwest portion has suffered more than any other locality, not having had good rain there in many weeks. Reports from other localities where rains have been reasonable are encour- aging; old corn is made an average crop; late corn, though having suffered to some extent. is greatly revived after the recent rains: cotton is doing very well, and is fruiting nicely: fodder pulling is general, as is also turnipsow- ing.

Some Suggestions as to the Best Way
to Bring Them Here.
Savannah, Ga, Nov. Editor Morning
News: have heard and read much re-
garding what should be done to bring immi-
grafton here and while the opinions ex-
pressed are good in their way, have failed
to note any that touch upon a very imy or
tant point, and that is relative to induce
ments that should be offered manufactur-
ing industries to locate here; unquestiona-
bly, they build up a community and prove
beneficial in various ways.
Savannah ought to be a large manufac-
turing point, it enjoys good water facili-
ties, it has easy access to the sea, it is one
of the largest wholesale markets in the
south, and could be made a large railroad
center; IL is undoubtedly the prettiest and
best laid out city in the south, it's climate
is all one could ask for and no question at
all but what those locating here would
enjoy their new home. Now why
are not some Inducements offered manu-
facturers to locate here; money should be
subscribed to build factories for them; free
sites should be offered them and above all,
let their industries be free from taxes, if
not all together. at least for number of
years; let everything that's possible be
done to encourage such industries as are
bound to build up the commerce Of SaVan-
nah; but alas, perhaps this is only a wild
dream of mine; in place Of these encour-
agements a would-be locator is frightened
away, when he learns that taxes will be
levied on him and nothing at all is offered
to induce him 10 locate hcFe.

There is no question at all why Savannah

the bees are restless. especially when
new queen has been selected, or when an
old one IS about to be disposed Of. AT
such times the apiarist must time his
visits 70 the hive very carefully.
The over-confident beginner makes no
allowances for the moods Of the bees,
nor for the condition of the weather and
season, and some day approaches the
hive at an inopportune moment. The bees
are lying in wait for some object against
which they can express their feelings.
The hand that before they allowed to
rob them Of their rich stores is now locked
upon as legitimate prey. and dozen
alght upon it with no particular inten-
ton Of exploring it. but to test its resist
ing powers. Half-a-dozen stingers into
the hand at the same time are too much
for human endurance, and the intruder
gives howl and d jerk that acts like
strong wind to the fire. There is an omi-
nous buzz inside the hive, and scores of
valiant little warriors rush forth to do
battle for their home. There is no es-
Gaping their quick little wings, and be-
fore place of safety is reached the face
and hands will be literally branded with
the sharp stings.
Bees. after all. are like wild animals.
They are tamable only up to certain
point. They have their moods when it is
unsafe to handle them, and at other times
they may be manipulated easily. The
confidence point" is not definable one.
II is as elastic as the nature of the bees.
To-day it may be easily reached, but
tomorrow it may be invisible. In the
fall and winter of the year the bees are
too cramped up with the cold to make
much resistance, and they seem to recog-
nize the kindness of their masters at such
times with a certain amount of gratitude.
When the hive is not wen supplied with
honey. they will come and gather sweets
out of the hands, and never do any in
jury. They Will even permit the apiarist
to bring sugar and syrup right to their
winter quarters, and welcome him by com.
ing half way to meet him. It is astonish-
ing to see how hunger and cold win change
their whole natures. Their plucky fight
ing qualities have deserted them and will
not return again until the warmth of an
other spring expands the blossoms Of the
plants i'm field. woods. and gardens.
