DOWN IN BUTLER,
A Correspondent Interviews Leading Democrats on the Situation Regardless of Their
 Financial Views,

GIeenville, Nov. 15-(Special Core spondence.)-Since the effort of the Ad- vertiser to force Governor Oates into the race for nomination for governor again, I have tried to find what was the opin- ions of leading democrats here, regard less of their financial views. Col. N. ". Clopton, a man widely known and broth CT of the late Justice Clopton of the su- preme court of the state said: II have read the statement In the Advertiser of their calling on Governor Oates as being the only man that could lead the demo- cratic party to victory in '96, and that he had consented to run again 1 must say that I do not believe that the democracy in Alabama Is so weakened that 1t Is de- pendent on the candidacy of any one man to save it from defeat. l believe the party can elect whoever 1t sees fit to nominate from among the many in its ranks who are qualified by party service and otherwise. but at the same time believe the nomination of Joe Johnston would come nearer reuniting the party than that of any other man at this time"
 Another prominent worker, who sup ported Governor Oates before and is now his strong friend, said that he believed the Advertiser was urging Oates into the campaign not for any love for Oates, but that it might defeat him for the sen ate and thereby help it's candidate for that place, whom he believed to be Sec retary Herbert and not Governor Jones' He also said two-thirds of the white peo- pie favored free coinage.
 Another, who has been :n nearly all the party conventions for the last thir- teen years, said it was time, he thought for abuse of such men as Morgan, Pugh and Johnston to stop and let the party press go to work and reunite the party. He did not believe the effort of the Ad- vertiser was to do the party any good, but was prompted by hatred of Joe John ston, and that there was not less than 800 democrats in the state any of whom could be elected if nominated.
 I could go on and give you the opinions of many others, but most all are about the same. The people are for Joe John ston for governor in '96, and many of his warmest supporters are among men who do not agree with him on finances.

Pig, Esn,shed from the Par1or.

It is gratifying to learn from the re-
port of the congested districts board
for Ireland that the efforts to ban
ish the pig from the parlor are cal
cuIated to benefit both the pig and his
master. Having noted that the board
has offered in the Kiltimaugh district
inducements to small occupiers to pro-
vide out-buildings for cattle. as under
the present system cattle and pigs
spend the night and part of the day in
the same apartment as members of the
family, the report goes on to say that
Injurious effects must be produced in
the case of people who have to spend
many hours amid the efduvia of cattle,
while the animals no doubt suffer from
the sudden changes from q hot. close
atmosphere at night to cold or moist
breezes in an unsheltered field or on an
exposed hillside during the day.-Lon-

for, but at last 1 saw it In the reav

loped their horses, l saw it come out
from among the women and take
place in the ranks of the men.
1.-The enemy came on now towards us
at brisk gallop, it's line as straight as
an arrow, and, as frightened my waist
band, caught sight again of the horse
with the white forelegs. 1t was in the
very middle of the line. My joy was
almost complete.
THE enemy was now in the middle OF
the plain, and the time had come for
action. The bugle sounded and we
were off, slowly and quietly loping
over the ground at first; then, as the
enemy came nearer, laundering over
the parched earth. Within gunshot
we came and the Indians opened on us.
A few of our men dropped, but we did
not reply. On we thundered, and then
line of insipid, useless fire burst from
our lines.

figure of the girl loved. There was
rushing and growing and thunder
ing of hoofs. We were among them,
cutting to the right and left. We cut
our way through them. I dashed for
ward to where my love awaited me.
Il leaned forward over my horse,
seized her in one hand and lifted her,
with strength knew not possessed,
and placed her on the saddle behind
me. My bodyguard placed themselves
in q circle around me, the bugle
sounded the charge again, the signal
to commence firing, and then, wheel
ing, we opened on them with saber
and carbine. Through their lines we
went again, my guardsmen about me,
moving hole for me through the red
men. And then, safe in our own terri
tory once more, l gave my love into the
safekeeping of my six faithful fellows,
her.

But it was not my love-not my
Wood Dove, as she had told me her
nameSwas among her people. The girl
who stood before me was small and
wizened, with weak eyes, and in rags.
What do you want?' asked her.
"'The Wood Dove could not fly to
you,' she replied, so she sent me.
They are guarding her, but she will
escape from them. She tells me to say
to you that my people will charge up
on you to morrow morning, and that to
deceive you all of our women will be
mounted and held in the rear, as If
they were men waiting for their turn
to fight. She tells me to say to you
that she will be mounted on a black
horse, with star in it's forehead, and
with two white forelegs.
"'She will be in the front line when
the charge is made. and at your first
fire will fall from her horse as though
she were Wounded. You, must then
manage to pick her body up before our
people do SO. Her father is the chief
of our people; he was the chief with
whom you spoke to-day, and he was
very angry with her when he came
back to us. She has persuaded him
that she does not love you, but hates
you, and, though she is well guarded
tonight, it is because of the fear of an
attack from you.'
The woman left me and returned,
as she had come. to the tents of the
people.
Il was. excited naturally over this
story. l could not help realizing the
real danger she would run of being
killed, and was puzzled for some
while as to what should do. Then an
idea occurred to me, and, smilin, to
myself, went to sleep and rested
peacefully until the morning.
I'm the morning I called my officers
about me again and told them what I
had learned. My plans were completed
and had but to wait. had not long
to wait, either, for within an hour the
warriors came forth from under cover,
and behind came what looked like a
second regiment, but what ] knew to
be the women.

however, and daily and nightly we ex-
pected an attack. But for one month
they remained under cover. We did
not go out and look for them, as it was
my policy always to let them fire the
first shot.
That month was in many respects
the happiest month in my life. Love
was new to me. l hadn't known it
since my days at West Point. loved
the girl with all my heart, and, what
was sweeter, she soon grew to love
me in return.
Zone afternoon told her of my love,
and asked her to marry me. She told
me then that she loved me, and told me
that she would marry me. l left her,
and that night the Apaches attacked
us. Their victory was complete. They
found us unprepared. Our loss was
something fearful and my loss was
greater still, for when the morning
came the girl was missing. Her people
had recaptured her.
1.-THE morning found us in desper-
ate mood. The men were mad, and l
was mad. We We're all in the humor
for first-class massacre, and | laid my
plans accordingly. Our scouts located
the enemy, and that afternoon we
penned them in and had them at our
mercy. Onr numbers were about even,
but our men were all old soldiers, thor
oughly disciplined, and SO they fell
easy victims to our superiority.
1T was about five o'clock, when the
fighting was at its worst, / showed a
flag of truce, and few moments later
an Indian of commanding stature rode
out from the little fort they had built
on the top of the hill and advanced to
the center of the diminutive plain
which stretched between. where the
two armies were posted. l rode out
alone to meet him, for l could guess
that he was the chief of the tribe.
"We saluted.
''I offer you peace l said to him,
'on two conditions: first, that you lay
down your arms and surrender; second,
that the girl you stole from us last
night be returned to me-

MY BABY GIRL.

At the twilight hour they gathered
For story. at my side,
With the princess -blue-eycd baby
On my lap enthroned in pride.
And the setting sun, In passing,
Kissed her smiling face goodnight,
While the others, loving, joyous,
Laughed in chorus at the sight
And my boy, before the princess,
Bowed his loyal head in awe;
For his gentle soul was thrilling
At the angel face he saw.
Then he raised his hand and gently
Touched the dear ones waving curl.
And his pleading voice implored me:
Keep her. please, baby girl
Years have passed, the sun sinks slowly,
And sit alone tonight,
While tho tears bedim my vision,
As the world has lost its light;
And prayer my lips are raising
To my God. whose kindly hand
Keeps my baby girl to meet me
In the far off twilight land.
