CONKLING.


Well, Conkling is still here, even il
there is never a word about it, yet in
all its quiet reign it was never more
alive. In the last few weeks we have had
a picnic, then a poke supper, next an
ice cream supper, so the young folks
have some pleasant evenings together
and with good behavior and jolly fun
the time goes by. We are working
hard to make money for an organ for
our live Sabbath School, and this is
the wherefore of SO many suppers
and creams. Our new school house is
ready for the winter school. 1t is both
nice and commodious The only trouble
is they are usually so long in deciding
who shall be the teacher. The health
of our neighborhood has been very
good this summer, but l learn that
there are several cases of diphther,a

The recent trouble at Spring Valley,
Illinois, should teach a lesson to the
South that, if needed, will no doubt
prevent like occurrences in this section
of the country. Occasionally we read
in the papers of movements to locate
colonies of foreigners in the South, and
as often as we read of such intentions
we fear the result. 1t is a notorious
fact that in most, if not all serious
riots or disturbances that happen in
our country the trouble is precipltated
by people of foreign birth, persons who
have not and never did have the least
regard for the laws of the land, and
who have not the least respect for the
rights and privileges of others. While
thousands of foreign born persons be.
come good citizens and law abiding,
other thousands are lawless and with.
out respect for life or property. Indis.
criminate immigration is bad for the
country, and SO long as it is possible to
do 30, let us keep the lawless product
of foreign lands out of the South.

OLNEY WILL GET IT

Decided on a Successor
to Gresham.
WILL SOON Be ANNOUNCED
Senator Gray Believed to Have
Been Offered the Attorney
Ceneralship.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-There is no
longer any reasonable doubt but that
the president has fully determined to
ask Attorney General Olney to accept
the state department portfolio. While
this is an ~undoubted fact, it is also GER
tain that the president has not ever
intimated to Mr.. Olney that this was
his purpose. To other members Of his
cabinet, however, 1t is learned that he
has stated in substance that he should
ask Mr.. Olney to accept the place, and
that he was delaying the public an
nouncement in order that he might at
the same time name q successor to Mr..
Olney as attorney general. Persons in
a position to know what the presidents
purposes are anticipate an early an
nouncement of Mr.. Olney's appoint
ment, and probably that Of his sue
cessor. 1t is regarded as quite likely
that Senator Gray's visit to Washing
ton may have been in response to a
message from the president and it is
possible he may have been offered the
attorney g~eneralship Or consulted
thereon.
