VERY FEW OF THEN LEFT.
Old-Time Plantation Darkies Almost as
Rare as Black Swans.

One sees but little of the old-tilne
southern plantation darkies nowadays,
says the Atlanta Constitution. The rea-
son is a good one-there are but few to
be seen. The passing OF the old south
ern body servant might serve as Il theme
for an interesting volume, so mysterious
and so silent the march of the great
throng OF them to that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns. Moth
ing is said of them. They are o crea-
lures of importance one would think,
and their obituaries are never left after
them in the public prints to tell the peo-
pie of the great work-a-day world that
the poor old slaves of the past are dead
and gone. Thus for more than twenty
i've years the race of genuine old-fash-
ioned plantation darkies has been play
ing out in Dixie, and they have been
"layin' down de shovel and de hoe" in
very truth.
Few of them are left-just a few
and they are to be found only on the
large wilderness plantations of the ex-
irene south. Here and there through
put the state of Georgia they can be
found-right wlSre they were left after
luc sGOILl VI GINA Wal Ihu spCuo iSSSll,
and they had stood there around the
"big 'ouse" like sentinels on the watch
tower to guard the mother and little
one while the father slept far away on
some battle hill. The fidelity displayed
in this entities the darkies of the COS to
endless praise. There was a war going
on involving their freedom, aud yet they
stood like a FIRM phalanx around the
homes of the southern soldiers while
they were out at war, and these black
faced knights braved death at the hands
OF northern hosts to u v the families of
the men who had gone to the front to
fight for a result contrary to the darky's
emancipation.
Ii was simply because the old fellows
knew their masters were really their
best friends and that they ought to
stand by them. 1t was simply because
they loved their life on the great plan
]tations OF the south, protected and up
held by their white friends and own.

N.ansen and the North Pole.

SnlcaEo RECORD.
The report comes from Siberia, by
way Of st. Petersburg, that DIR, Eritjof
Nansen, the Norwegian scientist and
explorer. has reached the north pole,
has found land there, ana is now return
Ing to civilization. The report lacks
continuation, and further news will be
awaited With interest.
OF all the rnen who nave undertaken
to reach 3faG north pole hansen prob
ably is the best lifted and equipped for
the task. File comes from a people whose
life In the faG north Is calculated to de-
Nflop the sturdy hardihoad and endur-
aIice necessary fora successful trip into
tne unknown polar egion 1t was al
most TO he expected that the man to
reach the pole would be OF the hardy
and adventurous Scandinavian stock.
III addition TO his environment n his
university training Nansen had a sspe-
ciai training for this work in his previ-
Gus trips to the north. 1t was his az
perlcEce in foimcr explorations that led
to the formulation OF the plan for reach
ing the pole that may have proved sue
cessiui. In 1883 NanSeii, with siN Gem
/, panions, made Il trip across Greenland,
lhNauihS unknown territory. AS a re-
SUIT 81 the knowledge gained In these
expeditions, and from the study of the
etforts of other explorers to reach the
pole, Nansen observed that the various
explorers, at a greater or less distance
from the pole, had been stopped by the
drifting ice. which IN most cases was
carried down against the ships by cur
rents from the north. If there were cur
rents from the pole, Nansen argued that
there must be currents to the pole, and
he conceived the idea that the proper
way to make a successful trip was to
find h n%orthbound current and be car
ried with 1t to the north and on toward
civilization again on the other side. The
! Norwegian parliament voted money to
\ enable Nansen TO fit out his craft. With
a. crew of twelve men he started on his
voyage from Christisnia June "a, 1898,
intending to make for the New Siberian
islands and head north until the boat,
by being imbedded in the ice, would be
compelled to drift along the west coast
of m lane which might be found.
If Nansen's journey shall have proved
successful the result will be not only a
justification of his theory, but proof of
his scientific ability n his personal
daring.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only N way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation a be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in

or some other explosive must have
been used. Evidently they are I'M
aware that some of the mightiest
works Of man have been accomplished
without the aid of that great modern

QUADRILATERAL DUEL
In Which Winchesters Were Used and
Two Men Killed.

In Which Winchesters Were Used and
Two Men Killed.
There was terrible battle and
double murder at Donkey, little
hamlet near Pound Gap, Wise county,
Virginia, Tuesday, the result of
drunken row on Christmas over a
woman. Bill Wells and Gas Osborn,
always known as good citizens, met Jim
Cox and Abe Williams, two desperate
mountain outlaws, on the public road
a half mile from Donkey, heavily
armed with Winchesters, for the pur-
pose of fighting it out. Firing con-
tinued for more than two hours.
Shortly after the firing commenced a
deputy sheriff of Wise county, whose
name has not been learned, appeared
on the scene. but could not stop the
fighting. Soon Wells and Osborn
lay lifeless on the roadside, with Cox
seriously wounded, being shot twice.
The deputy sheriff also received Sc
rious wound in the left leg.
