William the Conqueror now disarmed
the city of London, and, tipping num-
Der OF the mobiles, got them to wait on
him. He rewarded his Norman follow
ers, however, with the contraband es-
tates Of the conquered, and thus kept
up his conking for years after peace had
been declared.
But the people did not forget that
they We're there first, and SO, while Viii
liam was in Normandy, in the year
1867 A. D., hostilities broke out. Peo-
pie who had been foreclosed and elected
from their lands united to shoot the
Norman usurper, and it was not un-
common for a Norman, while busy
usuTping, to receive an arrow in some
vital place and have to give up sed-
entary pursuits perhaps for weeks after
ward.
In 1908 A. D., Edgar Atheling,
Sweyn Of Denmark, Malcolm of Scot
land and the sons of Harold banded
together to drive out the Norman. NAL
colin was a brave man and had, it is
said, captured SO many Anglo-Saxons
and brought them back to Scotland
that they had very refining influence
on that country, introducing the study
of the yoke, among other things, with
moderate success.
William hastily returned from Nor
mandy and made short work Of the re-
bellion. The following year another
outbreak occurring in Northumberland,
William mischievously laid waste 80
miles Of fertile country and willfully
slaughtered 100, 900 people-men, wom-
en- and children. And yet we have
among us those who point with pride to
their Norman lineage when they ought
! to be at work supporting their families.

to remind them that it was time to put

Many veterans of the Grand Army of

This time they arc coming on Il peaceful
mission, and are coming to stay. They
have started in To build city in the
southern part of the State Thrty-five
thousand acres of fine rolling land have
been purchased and options have been
secured on $4,000 more. The co-opera-

in Irwin County, on the ground made
historic by the capture of Jefferson Davis
after the fall of Richmond. The colony
now has population of 5000 which it is
believed will increase to 2J,000 before
the close of the year.
A town site has been laid OFF covering
1000 acres. The streets are being grad
ed, sewers put in. and a water supply is
being provided by system of artesian
wells. 1t was not intended for the set
tiers 10 go in until after the first of the
year or along toward spring. but the
''sooners" could not be held back. How

are roughing it. But they are all con-
tented and believe thoroughly in the fu-
ture of their experiment.
The idea of Grand Army colony was
started by Philip Fitzgerald. pension
attorney and capitalist of Indianapolis.
He says that he found the old soldiers
complaining of the cold in winter. The
exposure of their campaigns is telling on
them in their old age and they cannot
stand what they once could i'm the way of
snow and ice. There was very preva-
lent wish among the veterans for a home
amid congenial neighbors in a mild cli-
mate. So a cooperative colony was pro-
| jccted.

CUBANS IN CONTROL.
Whole IsIand, Excepting the City o.
Havana, IL in Their Hands.

Havana, IL in Their Hands.
In effect, the whole island of Cuba, out
side of the city Of Havana, is now in the
hands of the insurgents. They have not
annihilated the Spanish forces, nor have
they routed the whole army in any single
pitched battle. Yet the situation is COM
pletely in their hands, and so completely
have they outgeneraled the Spanish that.
to all appearances, Martinez de Campos'
army might as well be in Spain for any
check it puts upon the movements to and
fro of Maxine Gomez's army. The lat
ter's progress has been accompanied with
continual accessions to his forces by vol
unteers, and he has captured enough
horses, rifles and artillery to add i'm
mensely to the effective strength of his
men. He has practically carried his base
of operation with him, and has usually
countermarched over wholly different
route from that of his advance, appar-
emily counting with confidence upon liv-
ing upon the country as he went.
There is little doubt really felt in Ha-
vana that he will get as much or more
sympathy in Pinar del Rio than he did in
Santa Clara and Matanzas, and the gen.
eral fear is now that, after sweeping
over I-lndT uei itlO, ne VIII come upon
Havana from the west, cooperating in an
attack with the forces of the insurgents
which have been east of Havana for sew
eral days past. The advance of Gomez
beyond Batabano has cut the line Of tele-
graph and cable communication with the
eastern part of the island upon which
Campos principally relied for directing his
forces in Santiago de Cuba, Puerto Prin-
cipe and Santa Clara.
The authorities no longer make the
slightest concealment of the serious view
they take of the situation, and there are
come who do not hesitate TO rail at the
Spanish generals and the troops and make
bitter criticisms of them. There has been
great fear that the light and water sup
ply of the city would be cut off by sud-
den raid of the insurgent forces. The
idea of the city being left in total dark
ness for the unseen working of plots and
seditions is itself enough to work panic
in the nervous condition of the public
mind. All possible recruits have been en-
listed for the defense Of the city, and the
available ground about the city has been
filed with batteries of artillery, which
are manned night and day.
