IT DIDN'T WORK.

ETowAH, Aug. 2.-[Special. l-Some of the boys who are well informed on the sub ject report that on the day before the bar becue at Bridgeville plot was matched by the Kolb representatives around there to steal all the carcasses prepared for the bar becue. While the boys were on guard the night before the dinner was to come off g lot of Hobbies, accompanied by consid- erable body of negroes, came into the camp, well provided with bug juice. The plan was to get the Oates boys and the negroes with them into frolic, drink them drunk and then have their own ne- groes to steal all the meat and make off with it. The exceeding corduaIity of the Kolbites and their strange actions aroused the suspicious of the Oates boys and par tial examination was made, when it was discovered that six of the csrcasses were gone. The Oates boys then got the invad- CTS together, white and black, and made them take the road for other and more con- genial regions, not giving them time to de any other or further damage.

SPRING LAKE COLLEGE.

In calling attention to the advertisement of Spring Lake college, Dr. Lovett's splen- did institution of learning at Springville, the AGE HERALD reproduces from the c.ti- logue the following sensible and timely re- marks on the subject of 'graduation and degrees:''
 "We do not propose to rush our pupils through the course like spring plants are quickened into over r-rapid growth for early planting. we do not propose to pull our hot house nor incubator methods. We think it far better to work and wait-to "possess the soul with patience al- lowing the mind to normally unfold and develop into strength aud beauty, than to reap a harvest of premature graduates, which inevitably wither under the hot sun of practical life. All sensible people agree with us in this view of the subject, and we do not fear of having their warm indorse- ment. It will be our pleasure to bestow the honors of our college on all worthy per- sons; but those who place graduation above scholarship must go elsewhere. ''

Grosvenor's statement it was developed that President Cleveland had taken hold of the matter, ordered Cedarquist's release, and that the fine against him be remitted and that the officer who issued the order for Sunday target practice be himself arr rested and tried for disobedience of Presi- dent Iincoln's 8 order ot November, 1862, which has been the law of the army ever since.

AT SHADY GLEN.
l Tremendous Crowd at Morgan's Appointment in Calhoun
 County.

At Shally Glen, Calhoun county, on Tuesday tremendous crowd, estimated at over 5000 people, assembled to greet Sena- tor Morgan and Capt. Joe Johnston and Judge P. G. Wood of Dallas. Senator Morgan of course wasn't there, but the good work for democracy went on all the same.
 Messrs Greer and Stephens, populite can- didates for the legislature, were present and time was divided with them. These gen. tlemen were persistently prodded by Cap tain Johnston as to how they would vote on senator if elected, but they refused to answer. The people over there are for Morgan, and many of the old Kolb demo- crats announced that they would vote for no men who refused to come out and tell whom they would support for senator.
 At Sulphur Springs, in Calhoun. last week Col. J. H. Caldwell, one of the old est citizens and one of Alabama's leading men, was howled down at populite meet- ing after an agreement to divide time.
 The democrats estimate their majority in Calhoun at 800.

VAS IT FOUL PLAY Or Did Jack Price Take His Own
 Life2 THE QUESTION TO DECIDE Found With Bullet in His Heart in the Rear of
 Saloon.

A few minutes past o'clock yesterday afternoon there was a shoJ fired from a 3S-caliber bulldog pistol that caused the death of Jack Price, a Gate City rolling mill employe. The place was just outside the back door Of Taylor's bar, 1874 Second avenue, but as to who fired the fatal shot is yet unknown. It may have been foul play and it may have been suicide, but at any rate circumstances make it look de- cidedly suspicious, and Ed Dawson, white painter, has been arrested aud IS being held pending the coroner's investi- gation.
 It seems that Price, man named Ben nett and another person were in Taylor's bar drinking together, and further that Bennett and Price had some kind of a grudge against ech other. As soon as they took the last drink together Price walked to the back door and in few seconds the report of the pistol was heard. Whether or any one had anything to do with the affair is as yet not positively known, but 1t is known that almost as soon as the report was heard and people began to rush into the bar that the latter was seen standing in the back door with the smoking pistol in his hand. There were several persons on the scene almost instantly after the shot was fired, and from the evidence gathered IrOn Lne50 paTbleS things look little suspicious, and leads one to believe that Prices death was the result of foul play.
 Officers Walton, Armstrong and Wiggins went to work on the case and have sum moned a number of witnesses, and 1t is also understood that they have reason to believe that Price may have been killed.
 Coroner Dusenbe berry examined the body at Warner & Smiley and the examination showed that the bullet struck the heart and that the pistol was so close that large hole was burned in both shirts. The wound produced almost instant death.
 Coronel Dusenberry will hold an inquest this morning at the court house, after which PrIce's body will be shipped to Gate City for burial.
 If the case was suicide there has been no cause assigned, because the man was not drunk.
 Price was about 28 years old and had lived in Gate City for over four years. He leaves wife, but no children.
 It is said thet Price was bitten by dog Sunday night and entertained fears of hy- drOphObia, ..t...

AN IMPORTANT CASE
Now OF Trial at Meridian, Miss.-A Salesman Held for Elm q
 bezzlement

MERIDIAN, Miss. Aug. 1-[Special Cor respondence. 1.-The case of the state vs. E. L. Sykes, travelling salesman for 0. D. Barnard & Co.,, St. Louis, charged with embe zzlement, and which has been on trial the past two days, is exciting much inter- est. There are four counts against the defendant and both sides are ably repre- sented.
 The plaintiffs claim Sykes made collec- tions for which no remittances were made, and the defense claims services rendered as an offset for more than the amount men tioned.
 MT. Barnard, for the state, was first ex- amined. During this proceeding a letter was produced in which the defendant was authorized to use the firms money in try ing to effect the passage of a certain bill in the legislature in the interest of the firm.
 Sykes also claimed per centage on sales of certain goods. The firm denies such con tract as existing between the firm and Sykes.
 Louis Shock of the firm of Barnard & Co. was introduced and stated that he had found where money had been collected and not accounted for. Asked Sykes what be- came of the money. He claimed to have remitted it to the firm, which was untrue. Shock also stated that no contract had been made whereby per centage was 10 be given Sykes for sales of certain goods.
 Leland Bardwell, assistant cashier of the First National bank of Meridian, cashed Lauderdale county warrants for Sykes az gregating s775, giving him exchange for same. Treasurer Richards of the firm tes- tified to irregularities in remittances from the defendant. Never saw the exchange issued by the bank at Meridian. MT. Sykes has been preparing statement of his side of the case, in which he will claim the existence of verbal contract as to per centage besides his regular salary and ex- penses. He will claim also that the firm owes him S3000 commissions. He will also make statement as &o the order to secure the passage of a certain bill by the legisla- ture in the interest of the firm, for which services he was to receive $100 extra pay. The statement is awaited with much anxiety.

A NEW KIND OF MEETING IN SOUTH CAR
 OLINA.
 CHARLESTON, s. o., Aug. "A special to the News and Courier from Greenville says: Greenvile had a model political meeting today. Everything was conducted in most commendable and impartial man ner, and the thousand Piedmont boys all behaved themselves-they know how to when so inclined. Unlike Spartanburg, Greenville gave hearing to all the speak CTS. What was said did not always seem to please the boys, but nothing was done about it. Things went along quietly. Nat urally the favorites were lusJily cheered, but without interruption of the proceed jugs. The crowd seemed to be cold and formal most of the day. Even Governor Tillman did not get the rousng reverber- ating cheering to which he is accustomed. Altogether it was an uneventful meeting, except perhaps for the unanimity of the governors friends in their expression of confidence in his leadership, and that they would internationally follow him into a new party-democratic in principle if not in name. The crowd was somewhat di- vided, although Governor Tillman had a clear majority of those present. General Buter's friends, however, declare they will certainly carry the county.

DEMOCRATS DIs0UsTED.

ANDALUsIA, July 31.-[special Corre- spondence. J-Politics in Covington have been comparatively cool until the last few days, but the unfairness which has charac6l terized the conglomerates has become
 glaring and the speech of Kolb, Bowmaf and others, made at their powwow in Bir+ mingham, where they unqualihedly i11 dorsed the Harrison administration, has caused the democrats to redouble their en- ergies, ana the prospects fer democratic victory in Covington are brightening.

Fierce was shot. From No. 6, where the shooting began, to the bottoms, Pratt City, he said is about 1000 yards, or between half and three quarters of a mile. The defense en- deavored to prove that the defendants, Smith, Houston and Frank Jones, were not with the mob when the shooting at No. 6 took place, but that they went from the meeting to the bottoms, or Coketon, in Pratt City, where several witnesses testi- fled they saw them.
 The state closed at the conclusion of MT. Barton's testimony.
