JUDGE BUcKLEY's WELCOME.

 No Cause for Alarm, But the Occasion
 Reminded One of Their Bow-Wows in
 the Dark Days.
 Tuskegee News.
 The following account of the speech of Judge Buckley at Pike Roads, is especi- ally commended to the consideration of our bolting brethren in Macon county. Gentlemen, can you doubt the drift of the craft to which you have tied your selves? Look the issue Squarely in the face. See the cloud before you, and though it may not be larger than mans hand, yet it is, nevertheless, a cloud, and unless united democracy shall dispell it, may burst the heaviest storm that has shaken our state within twenty years:
 Pike Roads, Oct. 23.-I hope there is no occasion for alarm, but the republican rally held at Pike Roads on the 22d inst, resembled very much their twenty years ago plans and specifications. The old time familiar voices of Maj. Ann Pollard and Sam Heretofore were lacking, that was all. Nathan Alexander, Judge w. c. Buckley and their brass band were on hand by a large majority, whooping it up for all they were worth for Mckinley and Thomas H. Clark
 The following is almost word for word, the concluding part of Judge Buckley's speech:
 Now, fellow citizens, in conclusion, I y have never gone nowhere am the same republican, standing on the same plat form and fighting for the same principles that fought for four long years through a bloody war, and for thirty years since the war and for which I am still fighting.
 For years I have been trying to teach democrats the error of their way. My pu pills have been dull and I have had a hard pull. 1 have been kind and indul- gent; was fearful at times 1 would have to give up in despair. But, thank God, my labor has been rewarded. We have Screws and Glass with us; Gov. Jones and Col. Faulkner have come over, and last, but not least, Hon. Thos. H. Clark, in whom am especially proud. Yes, MT. Clark came aud put his arm around me, and looking up into my eyes, said: Father, forgive me and receive me- for I knew not what I was doing. I prom ise to sin no more.' (Cries of 'hurrah for Clark by the negroes.) That's right, my fellow citizens and if I had my cap Che was speaking bareheadeO l would throw it high in the air
 "Yes, fellow citizens, he Is standing with both feet right square on our plat form, and I want you to extend to him the right hand of fellowship.
 Mr. Clark, as said before, is with us, and we want all to vote for him for con- gress in the November election. I have been promised by my converts that every vote shall be counted as cast, and not thrown away as they have been.r Remem- Der now on the 3d day of November Me- Kinley and Thos. H. Clark. You will notice at the bottom of the ticket, Clark, Stallings and Fonville; vote for Clark, he is our man..
 So, you see there is no longer any doubt as to where they "are at."

THE UNWILLING TRUTH
IS WIRED FROM CHICAGO TO WALL
 STREET.
'In So Far as Can Be Judged by Re- ports at Hand MT. Bryan Should
 Certainly Be Elected"

E. W. Barrett telegraphed to the Con- stitution from Chicago, under date of Nov. l:
 "W E. Simpson, correspondent of the Wall Street News, who was sent out here to survey the political situation and give 1t to Wall street as it is, has prepared the following for Wall street early tomorrow morning:
 "The widely different methods of the two principal campaign committees pre- vent any estimate of the number of elec- toral votes either MT. Bryan or MT. Me- Kinley will secure, except upon surface indications and an abiding faith in the masses of the people.
 "rhe Hannaites have had the benefit of the most marvellous organization the re- publican party has ever had, with all the funds necessary to make votes directly or indirectly, while the democratic cam paign has appealed to the common sense of the people, In so far IS can be judged of the reports at hand MT. Bryan should certainly be elected. He will carry all the southern states except Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland-112 elec- toral votes, and everything west Of the Mississippi river except North Dakota and Wyoming-72, and Michigan and Del aware-17, total, POI. Give Mckinley all of the east and Ohio and Wisconsin-152. Place Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minne- Sota, North Dakota and West Virginia 59 as doubtful, but favorable to Bryan; Illinois, Maryland and Wyoming-35, doubtful favorable to Mckinley. It re- quires 23 to elect Bryan, which he is al- most sure to get from Iowa and Ken lucky" MT. Frank Hosford Washing ton correspondent of the Detroit Free Press, writes this:
 "rhe presidential race will result in the election of Mr. Bryan. His great cause, his wonderful campaign and his attract i've personality have brought thousands of men to his standard during the last fortnight of the canvass. He will have an overwhelming popular majority and great vote in the electoral college. l be- lieve he will carry all the western and southern states, except Wisconsin and Delaware, and he has nearly an equal chance in New York The many will win over the few by a great majority and real democracy be restored in this coun- try"
 Mir. Lowe, the London Chronicle corre : spondent, cabled tonight that the result was in much doubt.
 All the New Yorok paper correspond- ents who have been writing of Mckln- leys "assured election," began hedging tonight. E. w. b.

SPORT FOR DARING MEN.
Shark Hunting on Cuba Described by
One of the Natives.


If there is any one who has tired of the
tame sport of shooting deer, moose, pan
theirs, wildcats, brown and grizzly bears
and of catching little trout, black bass and
salmon and has longing for sport with
swing to it let him go to Cuba. He
will find there sport which, for real live
danger, Is uneQualed, even by tho killing
of a roaring, wounded tiger, tho charge of
q herd of angered elephants, and besides
which even wounded bull moose arc no
longer charming.
According to Cuban now in Brooklyn,
shark fishing Is sport to be dreamed
about. Tho Cuban shark fishermen take
chunks of beef and throw them overheard
beyond the reefs, where the dorsal fins of
sharks are to be seen cutting the water
with vicious swish, like the plunge of q
modern rifle bullet into n stream. In
stantly there is rush. fit to make ordi-
narily brave men Slanch, for the eagcrness
of the sharks to rend the bloody meat Is
something to think twice about. Now Is
the time for the sportsman to do as the
Cuban fisherman does. Stripping off his
light clothes, grasping long, keen knife,
he leaps among the fish and thrusts tho
knife to the nearest sharks heart. a
quick wrench opens wound that SpurtS
blood, and then the sport fairly begins. 1t
is death to man who then loses his nerve.
There is hope for the buck fevcrish man
who is facing wounded tiger, but none
for the man among the sharks.
The Cuban expert watches his chances,
and as the sharks, attracted by tho blood,
come 20 tear their mate to pieces, he strikes
them one by one, and soon the water is
filed with sharks tapping their last in
the water red with blood. When a shark
comes for him, he glides TO ono side, and
as the shark rushes past on its sido he
strikes it dead. Bags Of 20 or 80 man cat
ing sharks may be captured thus in ii few
minutes.
The teeth are the trophies. To get them
the head is boiled in q big iron soap cal
dron. A tooth of healthy shark is ivory
white, with hard, porcelain finish, and
could be worn rs u trophy. There are sew
eral rows of these teeth One row OF them
cut out would look like a saw, the teeth
being obtusely triangular, each exposed
edge of single tooth being cut into mi
mute teeth. The sharks bite Il mans leg off
and do not tear it of, as is generally sup
posed. Indians mako long strings out of
these teeth for beads that the squaws may
think much OF the hunters, and ono would
suppose that a string Of them would not
be unacceptable to apaleface's sweetheart.
The sharks may be taken In q variety OF
other ways-rihes, spears, harpoons, las
SOS (snares) or flshhooks q foot long.
And they are taken often in nets, but not
because the METER wants to take them, as
they tear and tangle the nets for rods.

DO Texas Foxes Climb Trees?

A correspondent of sportsman pa
per declared recently, "Thero is little
sport to be had i'll hunting foxes in Tex
as, because they climb trees in 10 or 20
minutes after the dogs start them The
foxes i'll England are often driven to the
trees by the eager dogs. but they do not
climb in the sense that a squirrel or bear
does. They jump to the lower branches
of the trees and by their aid work them
selves up to the top branches. A fox can
get into tree that is no higher than 8
feet to the lower branches. and it is
probably by jumping that the Texas fox
gets into the trees.

Wrong Altogether,

The vicar Of parish not many miles
from we'll known fashionable town
was recently preaching charity sermon,
and in the course of his remarks he re-
buked some Of his Pensioners who he
thought simulated distress for the sake
OF obtaining assistance they did not real
~ require.
AS an illustration of this weakness he
mentioned that during one of his pas
toral visits he entered cottage of one
Of the supposed delinquents, where he
found everything neat and clean. and,
what was more, large plateful of but
tered toast before the fire.
Yes" he repeated emphatially,
"buttered toast! Did that" he asked,
''look like want?"
In the brief pause that followed this
outburst of energy voice Indignantly
responded, "No. 'tweern't butter nei-
Their; 'twere drippin. "
The effect of this correction upon mas
tor and flock was simply indescribable.
