City and County.
An Old Friend OF the Journal.

The journal has many old friends of
whom it is proud and some of the
pieasantest features of the work of its
agents are those which bring them in
contact with these long time acquaint-
ances, who have a congratulatory word
and another years subscription. Such an
one is Mr.. George A. Robbins of River
side. Mr. Robbins has taken the journal
since 1910 He has during all these years
kept his subscription paid up in advance,
Il fact that is mora remarkable than may
appear at first thought. The Journal S
agent, Mr. j. NJ. Cross, enjoyed pleasant
call on Mr. Robbins last week and found
him, despite his "a years, retaining "a
fresh interest n affairs though suffering
from too poor health to do much about
his farm.
He was Wing, throwing his first vote
for VIM. Henry Harrison. He has heen a
Republican since the organization of the
party and hopes to throw vote that shall
help to elect Thos b Reed, president.
Mr.. Robbins has not only found life
worth living but farm worth farming.
He bought So acres at Riverside
about 80 years ago and cleared IS acres
for tillngc His wife, who shared the toll
and the gratifying successes incident to
transforming forest land into one of the
best and most profitable farms of its size
in all that fine farming town, was called
away by death two years ago.
AS an answer to the ques tion whether
farming pays, Mr.. Robbins can tell you
that one year no sold $1,000 worth Of
produce from this comparatively small
farm, also that he sold $4,000 worth Of
butter to one Augusta family, the family
OF the late J. ID. Pierce, fact not 50
surprising when it is known that the
dairy products OF this farm had a reputa
ton second to none.

known railroad man and late vice pres
ident of the New York, Lake Erie &

HE WILL ACCEPT.
Col Hew Intimates Such Regarding Har.
rlson and the Presidency.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 30.-On Sat.
urday Hon. John C. New, a very close
friend of ex-President Harrison was
interviewed, at his own request
by 0. r. Johnson, a local newspaper
man, who was vice consul general
at London under Mr.. New. In the in
terview Col. New said Gen. Harrison
was not candidate and would not ia
vor either Reed or Mckinley, II he
should be consulted. He said, however,
that he had no hesitancy ia declar-
ing that Gen. Harrison would accept n
nomination for president in 1896. This
belief he said, was not based upon any
thing that Gen. Harrison had said to
him, but upon the unmistakable drift
of public sentiment, he was the man
in whom all the interest in national
politics centers Col. New continued:
"Gen Harrison has been president Of this
country once and the position could hardly
bring to him any additional honor and he Is
not candidate for it BY this / mean that
he will not enter into q struggle for q
nomination which could not bring him any
more honor but which would bring him
more cares. II the republican party
should find q man who 1t believes would
rison would cheerfully aoquiesce in the Sc
lection. II the sentiment OF the country
Is for him he will accept the nomination.
In brief, he will not put forth his hands to
secure IL. but II called to active leader
ship by his party he will assume the trust as a
duty, the highest to which a man can be called
in this country and one from which his patriot
ism would not permit him to shrink, no mat
ter what might be his personal desires
There is another condition under which he
would adopt the same course. II the dele
gates to the national convention should be
divided so equally among other aspirants that
they could not make a choice without pro-
tracted struggle or II there should be bitter
ness through personal ambitions 6pd aspifa-
tions, and Mr.. Harrison should be chosen as q
means of pacifying the factions, should such
exist, then, too, he would accept the nomina-
ton"
Gen. Harrison, after reading the in
terview, intimated that he reserved
the right to speak for himself, al
though he could not control the utter
ances of his friends.

shadows n Reign of Terror.


shadows n Reign of Terror.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Information
has reached the Cuban revolutionists
in this city that the pronunciamento
of the Spanish premier, made public a
fortnight ago, is more than a mere
threat. Not only has the entire au-
tonomist junta in Santiago been con-
demned to the penal colony of Ceuta,
Africa, but arrests on bare suspicion
or no suspicion, but simply on past
record, have leaped to 500 month.
Instances are recounted of wanton
cruelty by Spanish soldiers which
would never have occurred but for
Canovas' proclamation. Col Munez.
the revolutionary leader here, said:
There is no doubt that all the hor-
rors of the last war will be repeated
ere long. The public will be shocked
when the reports of these outrages are
made known. Later it will be soothed
by the smooth denials and plausible
explanations Spain will make haste to
offer. But the cruelty which that
shameless proclamation foreshadowed
will go on until Cuba is free, or is
again in the dust beneath the heel of
her ruthless oppressor. The proclama-
tion is merely the entering wedge of
the Spanish policy, which is to divide
Cuba into two camps"

LIEUT.. GEN. scHoFIELD.

Schoheld will spend year or more in
travel before settling down to private
life in Washington.
The rank of lieutenant general ex
pires with Gen. Schofeld's retirement,
as it IS a grade only created by special
acts of congress in recognition of dis
tinguished services. 1t has been be-
slowed upon six generals-Washing
ton, Scott, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and Schotield.
Gen. Miles has received all his mil
itary training on the field of experience
instead of in the schools. He will be
the first general for many years who
was not West Point graduate. Gen.
Winfield Scott was the last command
ing general who was not West Point
man.
Gen Miles IS a native OF Massachusetts,,
having been born in Westminster August 8,
1880 In 1861 he joined the Twenty second
Massachusetts volunteers and served thr ough-
out the rebellion with great distinction. He
disting uished himself early in his career in the

GEN. MALONE STRICKEN.
Famous Ex-senator in Critical State
from Paralysis


WASHINGTON, Oct. l. - Ex-senator
William Malone had a slight stroke of
paralysis Monday morning. The right
arm is useless and the tongue is para
lyzed so that speech is impossible.
DIR. Phillip s. Wales, one of the at
tending physicians of Gen. Malone,
stated that the generals condition
was critical owing to the severity of
the attack and his advanced age.
The paralysis has spread to the
right leg. DR.. Wales said that
the vomiting and effusion in the
head, which have set in, were bad
signs, and it would not be surprising
if Gen. Malone died in few hours.
Still, there was chance of an i'm
provement in his condition. Mrs. Ma
hone, who is at her home in Virginia,
has been telegraphed for.
