GOLD In ALABAMA.

Near Guntersyille.

GADsDEN, ALA, May 13.-For sever
a months reports OF gold finds in
Marshall county, near Gadsden, have
been received here, but as such reports
are usually unreliable, little attention
has been paid to them. Now, how.
ever, a Times correspondent has 1t
from very reliable source that by far
the largest gold find in the South has
been made on Santa creek, sixteen
miles from Guntersyille.
Maj. Hugh Carlisle, Of Guntersville,

He verified the reports and said that
he knew the mines were the largest in

News has reached here that the
people OF Unicoi county last week
hanged and burned Gov Turney in
etfigy at the county seat, Erwin. The
details being about as folio rs:
Some Of the people of Unicoi felt in,
dignant because of the decision of the
investigating committee throwing out
ten of the twelve districts in that
county, three-fourths OF the vote
of the county being for Evans.
As method OF showing their disap-
proval of the proceedings and their
contempt for rurney they decided To
burn him in efiigy. A gallows was
erected at Erwin, and dummy was
procured and dressed as much after
the fashion Of the governor az possible
and the ceremony of hanging him in
efiigy was gone through, with the
sheriff of the county officiating. AT
ter the drop fell the efiigy was saturat
ed with kerosene and match applied
One of the participants acted 81

If he chad anything to say why HI
should not be hung by the outraged

livered in which the election investiga
ton was denounced. There wer,

Elk CONGRESSMAN VANCE, of
Ohio, says of the political situation
in his State: democratic senti-
ment is predominately in favor of
the nomination of Ex-Gov. Camp
bell. He is for sound money, and
would make the best race on &C
count of MS personal popularity
and good campaigning ability, and
he would draw both elements of the
party around h the silver as well
as the sound money men. OF
course the party is divided on the
silver question, but the leaders are
almost all for sound money, among
the exceptions being Allen G.
Thurman, Jr., chair nan of the
State executive committee, and
Secretary Taylor, but looking the
State over l find that the big men
of the party are for sound money,
and believe that the Democratic
State convention will on sober
second thought so declare itself
AS for the Republicans, they will
probably adopt resolution refer
ring the whole matter to the in.

Bob Taylor for Governor.

As far as the Sentinel can refresh
its memory, it believes it was the fret
paper in the State to mention ex Gov
Robt. L. Taylor as the Democratic
candidate for governor OF the State
at the election in 1896. Since the
suggestion the Sentinel made, num-
Der of papers throughout the State
have advocated Gov. Taylor's nomina
ton and the thinkers in the party,
those who wish to unite on a satisfac-
.ory candidate who will make an able
governor and lead the party to victory,
have talked Bob Taylor.
Gov. TaYlor's two terms as governor
were free OF petty scandals and mark.

and material and financial advance

He is a man who has the respect o.

No one questions his patriotism.
In an interview in Jackson, Mise,

1t is the opiuion Of naval officials

under that same article a court

Meade. The personal pop "ity
of the hot headed, but bra,e and

DEMOCRATS generally regard
the position taken by Senator Gray
concerning alleged election of Col.
Dupont to be United States SEN
ator by the Delaware legislature as
the correct one, and believe with
him that the senate will not allow
Col, Dupont to take his seat. Even
as radical a Republican as Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, expresses
doubt of Duponts claim. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, doesn't be-
lieve that Dupont will be seated,
nor that the United States Senate
has any constitutional right to
question the legality of Gov. Wat
sons vote as senator while acting
governor of the State. Senator
Morgan also calls attention to the
fact that only one nan has been al
lowed during hisSenatorial career to
take a seat in the Senate without
first presenting the governors
certificate of his election. That
man was Roscoe Conkling, but in
his case the certificate had been
sent by the governor ofNew York,
but was delayed in the mills. Du-
pont will not, it is certain, get 8

HE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE
And Is in the Penitentiary for a
Year.


AT Atlantic, Iowa, on May 7, G. M.
Ailor, alias "Crip" Ailor, was convicted
OF eeceiving the people by selling a
worthless compound, which ne repre-.
sented to be Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
was sentenced by Judge Macy to one
year at hard labor in the Iowa State
penitentiary. Ailor's methods were
those of travelling fakir. He has
been travelling through Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa, making stands OF
a day or more in each town, and
repre- senting himself as an agent I'm
der salary from G. /. Hood & Co., and
selling his concoction at one dollar
or fifty cents per bottle, giving with
each sale various other worthless ar.
ticles. Citizens of Griswold, Iowa,
became suspicious and ascertaining
from a druggist that Ailor's compound
was not Hoods SArsaparilla, but
merely colored water, had him ar
rested. Three indictments were found
against him, the jury convicted HIM
after only thirty minutes deliberation,
and no was sentenced as above.
This incident suggests the wisdom of
purchasing medicines only of reputatl ;
dealers whom you know. Hoods
sarsaparilla is never sold by peddIers,
and such offering it should be at once
reported to the authorities, or to O. 1.

Moxley Wiehl. The purpose of his
visit was to secure ammunition
suitable to insure the sudden death
ofa wildcat which has lately been
disturbing his sleep. His first and
last encounter with the wildcat was
Saturday night. He had gone out
with a party to hunt snipe and was
holding the bag in the middle of
a corn field when a terrible sceech
from behind q corn shock caused
him TO think fondly of home. An
other screech and the sight of a
couple of balls of fire sunk deep in
the head Of q ferocious looking
beast settled matters, and, firmly
convinced that the wildcat was
right on his heels, he broke in a
run for home, and, if the man who
impersonated the wildcat can. be
believed, did not stop running un.
till he got home. It spoiled tbs
snipe hunt but afforded lots Of fun
for the gang on the inside. Kuhn
heimer is still in the dark concern.
