| There is a hog on exhibition a
kaufman. Tex, according to the Ma
tional Previsioner, which is, perhaps
the largest living hog in the known
world. 1t will be four years old this
| month, and was raised in Robertson
county, Tex, by q Mr.. Briggs. When
| be sold the hog, six months ago, il
! weighed ,430 pounds This hog is
| feet 3 inches long, feet one inch high
measures 6 feet around the neck,
| feet around the body and 80 inches
around the forearm.
| His fee5 are as large as those of a
common OK, and the leg bone larger
than that OF the largest steers. He is
Poland China and Red Jersey. He
eats corn like an OK, takes the whole
at.r IL his mouth at once and eats the
cob as well as the corn, eating from 40
TO 80 ears of corn at q time. There
seems to be no surplus flesh on him,
and physicians who have examined
the hog say he can easily be made to
| reach 2,200 pounds.
The present owner paid $3.50 for the
hog, and has been offered 1880 for
him. He has fire policy on the ami
NAL for $4,000. No other hog, it is
said, ever reached such tremendous
proportions.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July ga spe-

Rock, N G. says: A bill in equity was
presented to Judge Simonton today,
asking an order against the Seaboard
Air Line. the Southern railroad, and
all other roads, enjoining them from
continuing the rate war. Judge Sim
onton granted the injunction, enjoin
ing the Seaboard Air Line from con-
tinuing to operate their cut-rate, en-
joining Commissioner Haines and 9th
er roads from putting the so per cent,
cut into effect, enjoining all cuts Of
every description, and requiring all
parties to show cause before him at
Greenvile on the 18th proximo why
the injunction should not be made
permanent. This stops the rate war
absolutely for the present, until the
motion can be heard,

We hear on all sides Republicans
calling Democrat" Populists. ""Coxey-
ites' etc. This doesn't sound we'll
coming from Virginia republicans.
They seem to be ignorant of the fact
that the populists in estimating their
strength in Virginia place the $4,000
votes cast for Mr.. Cooke for governor
at the last Gubernatorial election as
populists. And they are about right,
for every man that cast his vote for
that ticket voted for the Ocala plat
form, and we all know what that
platform favored. Knowing the facts
in the case it would be in much better
taste to stop calling names and con
slider your own action few years
since, when you not only swallowed a
popuiist candidate but the populist
platform as WELL And that is not all.
When General Walker was the candi-
date two years ago for Congress, the
republican platform in this Congress
sional district declared for free coinage
of silver, and you not only swallowed
free coinage of silver, but renegade
democrat as your candidate. But that is
the kind of consistency the republican
party has always been noted for

Norfolk Virginian, (Dem.l: The Sa-
vannah News does not appear to forget
the past, nor is it blind to the POSSIBLE
tiles of the future. 1t says: THE
bitterest and most relentless for that
the South ever had is the republican
party. All of the political evils that
the South has suffered since the repub-
liean party came into existence and
power sprang from that party. The
republican party deprived Southern
States of their individuality, put Grim
inals in authority, turned thieves into
the State Treasures and their legisla
lures and held them there at the point
of the bayonet. 1t melted the recent
ly freed slaves to deeds of violence,
and made liberty a farce. The people
of the South have not forgotten, and
will not forget, the reconstruction
period and the republican party's part
in that black page of American his
tory. All that the South is today she
owes to the democratic party She
will, therefore, bear much from that
party before she will desert it,"

About 8 o'clock Saturday night,
while returning from his work in
Brambleton Ward, Norfolk, Mr.. R. J.
Hoggard was held up in dark lane
by two unknown negroes who poked
two revolyers in his face and took all
his money-about $3-after which he
was gagged by the highwaymen, who
placed rope around his neck and tied
him down to the steps of Sturgeon
