BLOSSBURG.
David Beaurmeister of Cullman Murdered
and Placed on the Railroad.

David Beaurmeister of Cullman Murdered
and Placed on the Railroad.
Blossburg, Oct. 5.-(Special)-A most
dabolical crime was committed near
Cardiff yesterday morning Extra Con-
ductor Reyes of the Southern discovered
a man on the track in a daZed condition,
but endeavoring to get off. He succeeded
in stopping the train before running over
him and found that he had been shot
three times-once in each temple and
in the forehead. The conductor came on
to this place and told of his dreadful find,
when a party was formed to go for him.
On reaching the place it was thought by
DR.. Borden and those with him that he
couldn't possibly live but short while,
and no one would take the responsibility
of moving him; but as he was still living
when the accommodation came last
evening he was brought here and taken
to DR.. Miller'S office, where he was
viewed by a large number of people
without Identification. 1t was clearly
demonstrated, however, by note book
in his pocket and parties at Cardiff with
whom he spent the night that 1t was Da-
vid Beaurmeister of Cullman, Ala. He
left Cardiff early in company with Andy
Oden, who has not since been seen. The
poor fellow fingered until o'clock this
morning and silently passed over the
river.
1t does seem, that some organized eff
fort should be made to run down the
murderer 1t will be recollected that not
MANY months since negro was killed,
and though several were arrested,
charged with the murder, they were
turned loose. Just prior to that time
32-caliber Winchester rifle was taken
from boy here. Both of the murdered
men are said to have been shot with that
caliber ball If such things are allowed
to continue ones life will constantly be
in danger Can't the governor be in
duced to offer a. reward for the apprehen-
sion of such a demon.

FOR BIRMINGHAM.

The committee appointed by the Com
mercial Club at the meeting on Friday
afternoon last will begin their canvas
tomorrow, and they expect to call on
every-business and professional man in
the city. AS their work will be entirely
a labor of love for Birmingham it is
hoped that they will be met in a spirit
of liberal cooperation and their work
rendered as light as possible. They will
simply ask one quarters dues to the
Commercial Club. and the response
should be we'll nigh universal. Birming-
ham has gone through the effort Of maxi
ing display of the wonderful resources

KING CORN.

Cheap corn will put corn bread in the
reach of the -humblest home. What a
variety of delicious dishes can be made
of Indian corn! Batter cakes, hoe cakes.
mullins, pone bread. ash cakes, hominy.
etc. Good mullins make dish fit to set
before a King. 1t is in the South that
corn bread and its varieties reach per-
lection The South grows the best corn
for bread-making, and the North is find
ing it out A number of car loads of
corn have been shipped North from Ala
bama this year. That the Northern cpl
cure has discovered the delicious flavor
of the Southern corn bread is evidenced
by the following extract from New
York paper:
After the wheat muffin, the most pop
ular cake is probably the corn or indian
meal muffin. The way In which this is
made depends upon the section of coun-
try where the meal is purchased. When
mullins are made of sweet, freshly
ground white meal of the South, sugar
and eggs are superlluous; but this deli
cious meal will not bear transportation,
and cannot be procured in Northern mar
kets except in a kiln-dried state, when ii
has about as much flavor as saw dust,
The best meal that can be procured in the
North is the yellow meal fresh from the
to get this, and the kiln-dried yellow meal
is the best that can be had. In order to
produce a satisfactory muffin of this
meal, not only sugar, but butter and eggs
must be used to give it richness. The old
fashioned sour milk Johnny cake of yel~
low meal is an impossiblity without the
sweet. freshly ground meal of the old
grist mill.
The hominy muffin of the South recalls
antebellum days, when several kinds of
hot bread were found on the average
Southern table at every meal. Care must
be taken in the purchase of hominy. The
best hominy is that made from the South
ern white flint corn. The attempt of
Northern manufacturers to compete with
the South in this material. has thrown
upon the market a great deal of inferior
hominy which turns dark in boiling and
Is quite different product from the
sweet white hominy of old days The
reason is simple; the Southern corn that
makes such delicious meal and superior
hominy cannot be grown successfully at
the North, and all hominy made here
must be made from a corn inferior for
the purpose Most of the important city
grocers now make a point of keeping
Southern hominy.

SOUTHWARK Is THE TIDE OF EMPIRE


The Chicago Record speaking of the
great success of the Atlanta Exposition
and of Its good effect upon the industries
and prospects of the South, says:
The Atlanta Exposition has not only
advertised the South as 1t has never been
advertised before, but 1t has gathered to-
gether and brought into one view the
South itself. The visitor to Atlanta to-
day can see for himself all the varied
opportunities that are offered to the cap
italist, the business man, the laborer and
the farmer
SO interesting and attractive are these
opportunities that in all probability the
expansion Of population, instead of be-
ing Westward and Northwestward as
heretofore, will for the next ten years
be to the South.
In view of this prospect. and, in fact,
to hasten 1t, our trade relations with the
Southern States must be enlarged and
broadened. What Chicago and the North
west desire Is even terms of competition
with every other part of the country.
No section should be favored and none
should be Disseminated against And
yet that is what the Southern railroads
are now doing. They tax our freight
more heavily than Eastern freight. They
do this to their own detriment and for
the purpose of fostering the trade of
the East at the expense of that of the
West. and to the injury of the South
The people here are as deeply inter-
eSted In the matter as are people South of
the Ohio. and all must act in order to
bring these unjust railroads to terms.
The South should use the Atlanta Ex-
fair and unpatriotic railroad manage

TALES OF THE TIMES.

General Heth Tells Some Good Stories
About General Grant.
man somewhat old looking now, but
with kindliness and humor in his face, rose
under the trees at the reunion of Confeder-
ate veterans the other night at Marshall
Hall and instead Of trying to make one Of
your bowling speeches which would prob
ably have been failure told two or three
delightful stories Of General Grant. Heth-
for this was General Heth-and Grant had
met In the Mexican war. They were lieu
tenants together In st. Louis In 1852 One
day Grant was telling Heth what fine
baby he had. 1t had just been born. 1t
had been named Fred, and wouldn't Heth
come up to see it, for he would be much
edited if he did. The two went up and
Lieutenant Grant brought the baby in.
Heth, thinking 1t the proper thing, offered
to take the baby In his hands, and that he
did. At the moment, however, Mrs. Grant
entered. She uttered q scream. She rushed
for Heth and took the baby away from
him.
tWhy, sir, :" she cried, IF you had held
that baby that way for five minutes he
would have been dead You had him
wrong side up"
Heth and Grant were together q good
deal in St. Louis One day Grant suggest
ed that they should go riding together out
to jefferson barracks. Grant had fine
colt; he said 1t was very rapid, and he
wanted to take Heth out to the barracks
in memorable way. 1t was an awkward
looking colt, but Heth got in. Grant took
the reins. He didn't seem to mind 1t that
his companion should make fun of the
colt, but merely asked him to wait until
they had passed the city limits; then they
could let or go. Once on the country roads
Grant did let 'er go. The colt was paoer
Legged it for dear life. They had to turn
a corner. They didn't get all the way
around because they were tipped out. Heth
was bruised and Grant badly famed in the
shoulder. They picked themselves up,
however, repaired their buggy and went
on.
From that time Heth and Grant never
met until the surrender at Appomattox.
They recognized each other Immediately.
1--WE came near getting killed." Grant
said to Heth. "Do you remember, we were
run away with oncep"
Eyes" said Heth. "It might not have
made much difference in my case, but I
have often wished since then that you had
been killed I"
Grant laughed, thought a little and
, asked, "Do you remember what happened
at the barracks that night2"
Heth couldn't remember that anything
in particular happened.

Still Heth could not remember

laughing, "since have had drink my

The scene was still at Appomattox
