was run up TO about $4,000, and forty of
the most prominent men of the city, bank
ers, preachers and merchants, volunteered
to finish a systematic canvass of the city
and raise 100000 In subscriptions. The ut

scribers will elect new board of direc-
tors.
AtInntn's Why.
From The Calhoun, Ga, Times.
The Atlanta exposition this fall will
eclipse all others this country has ever
known, save. perhaps the worlds fair.
But that is Atlanta's way-she is not con-
tent to merely rival her sister cities in any
undertaking, but always surpasses them.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Secretary Gresham, who was 63 on
ST. Patrick's Day, is the oldest mem
Der of the cabinet, and Secretary
Smith is the baby.
Pages in Congress will hereafter be
summoned by touching an electric
button on the desk instead of noisily
clapping the hands.
For years there have been many
prominent Cuban anueXationists in tho
United States. The question has never
been made political one or annexa-
ton might have been accomplished be-
fore this. 1t would be difficult to find
two men wider apart upon everything
political than Senators Morgan, of
Alabama, and Frye, Of Maine, are, but
just read how perfectly they agree on
Cuban annexation, and do not forget
that they are both members of the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
Senator Morgan being the chairman.
Said Senator Fry, Of that little diplo-
matte furry with Spain: ''It looks rs
if Spain would make the required apol-
oyy and as if all would soon be settled.
| had hoped it would be otherwise, and
that Spain would assume such an AFRO
CANT aud belligcrant tone that it would
be necessary for the United States to
go over aud take possession of Cuba.
We certainly ought to have that island
in order to round ont our possessions
as they should be, anu ii we cannot
buy it, for one should like to have an
opportunity to acquireit by conquest.
SAID Senator Morgan: Il am in favor
oF purchasing Cuba or of acquiring it
by any other Just method. | have al
ways been u Cuban annexationist, for
the island is An important one to the
United States. If the revolutionists
are able to hold out for year they
will be able to secure material assis-
tanCe from persons in this country,
not only in the way of money, but in
men, in spite of all efforts to prevent
it. There are many men who are
ready to go into n war for Cuba, or any
other war, and there will be no way Of
Keeping them out of it if the men who
are leading this revolt show that they
command any real strength at home"
Slucc these public utterances the pre-
diction is freely made that new
movement for the annexation of Cuba
will soon begin to show itself in this
country. In fact, many believe that
Secretary Gresham made his recent
demand upon Spain unnecessarily
harsh with the hope that it would make
Spain d. something that would justify
an attack upon her.

BIG WHISKEY STEAL.
10000 GALLONS OF CORN JUICE
STOLEN WITH A SIPHON.
Brought to Light by the Investigations
of United States Internal Revenue
Officers.

The facts in one of the most remark
able robberies ever known in South
Carolina have Just been unearthed by
the internal revenue officers ut Wat
halla, >. G.
In 1892 Henry Bieman sold four
government dist,leries, with bonded
warehouses situated about a half a
mile apart along the banks of a creek,
two miles from Walhalla, to w. G..
Tatum. They were built on the side
of the hill sloping towards the stream,
and the warehouses contained ten
thousand gallons of corn whiskey. Ia
tum ut once closed the disti!leries and
the warehouses were locked and the
government seal attached, it being the
owners purpose to hold the whiskey
three years before paying the tax as al
lowedby law.
During the latter part Of August Of
last year Collector Towues wrote to
Tatum several times Informing him
that the three years We're about to ex-
plre and urging him to he ready to
comply with the law. On the night Of
September 9Th, two days before the
expiration of the time, three OF the
iisti!leries were burned to the ground.
The fourth only contained seventy
gallons of whiSkev. Deputy Collectors
Nauderfor3 and King were detailed to
conduct an Investigation. Visiting the
sites of the burned buildings they
could discover no signs whatever of
whiskey, although they expected to
find the ground saturated for many
feet around where the bucning fluid
had flowed Gradually the evidence
was developed and finally confessions
were obtained substantially as follows:
Soon after the purchase by Tatum
one of the warehouses had been enter
ed, the burglars drawing the staple of
the door. Then they had inserted ono
end of n piece OF hose into barrel
and drawing it through crack in the
wall placed the other end in an
empty barrel at the foot OF the hill in
to which the whiskcy was siphpned.
This process was repeated night after
night until every gill Of the whiskey
had been stolen, the siphon arrange
ment enabling the thieves to operate
deliberately and avoid the danger
which hauling away large quantity
at once would have incurred The
revenue officers say that the tax ON the
whiskey is secured by the bond
The facts above related were grad
ually developed, and the arrests Of
John Farmer, Ashbury Hide, William
Whitman, Tony Watkins and John
Rowland followed. They have been
given hearings before United States

A LIBRARY OF BOOKS.
New Work Issued far Superior to and

Volumes of Wonderful Value

CHARLOTTE, y. C.-After careful
examination between the Britain nica,
Appletou's American, and Johnson's
Universal Encyclopedias and History
for Ready Reference by Lsrned, for
the purpose of purchasing one of the
above for the Charlotte Library Asso-
citation, History for Ready Reference
was unanimously decided upon by the
committee as being the preferable, both
for satisfactory results and for con-
veuience of arrangement.
Mas B. l.. DEWEY, Librarian.
History for Ready Reference is more
valuable to me than any Encyclope-
d,a within my knowledge. Rev. T.
II. Pritchard, D. d.
History for Ready Reference and
Topical Reading" by j. n. Larned,
is the title OF new work just being is
sued by one OF our largest publishing
houses.
1t is the only work in the world
which attempts to give the statements
upon AL questions of history, of the
best scholars, the most brilliant writer's,
and the most vigorous thinkers, the
woIid has ever seen. 1t is the only
work ever printed which gives the full
text Of the constitutions of the differ.
ent countries oi the world also the full
text OF the prominent Historical Dccu-
ments such ns the Magna Charter, the
Grand Eemous'rauce, Scottish Nation
al Covenant, Haheas Corpus Act.
Luther's Ninety. Five Theses, Dcyla-a-
ton Of Independelice and dmuny others.
IT is the only work giving brilliant
and authentic account written by some
authority on every Party or Faction in
the worlds history. 1t is the only
work giving clearly defined account
of every battle and military movement
IN our late Civil War taken from every
prominent writer upon that subject,
and giving full justice to the South.
But the greatest feature Is its mag
niticent arraug gemeut. Being arrang-
ed first alphabetically, and then by

be found ae quickly as one can lind O
