II has not been a great while since the
held-only a few months 1t will be re-
membered that at that time there was a
regular fog bank of doubt as to where
Congressman Crisp stood on the money
question. Many of the free silver papers
urgently appealed TO him to speak out and
end the suspense, and those few that claim
ed him as their own did so guardedly. This
fact, however, is absolutely valueless as
showing how the money question should
be settled. AT the same time it is just as
apropos as any letter written by Mr.. Smith
TO Mr.. Peek five or six years ago.

An interesting reunion of confederate
veterans is to be held in Charleston on
April %, when the South Carolina Divis-
ion of the United Confederate Veterans
will hold its annual convention. 1t is pro-
posed that in addition to the convention
or the united veterans. all of the South
Carolina brigades shall hold reunions in
Charleston at the time. 1t is expected that
a very large gathering will be the result.
The sixth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans will be held at Rich
mond for three days beginning June 80,
during which meeting the cornerstone of
the jefferson Davis monument will be laid
with imposing ceremonies. 1t is expected
that not less than 10000 veterans will be in
attendance.

Mr.. Crisp's Argument.
From the valdosta (Ga) Times Den

Mr.. Crisp is not clear in his arguments.
He muddies the water. For instance, he
says: price is fixed, all things being
equal, by the amount of primary money
in the world. This is an assertion He
does not try to prove it. He cites no
great financier as having announced that
as law Of commerce. What does he mean
oy me eauilo oil ana q1alitylng phrase,
not equal-never have been equal, and
never will be equal. We assert a self
evident fact. He bases his whole argu-
ment upon the above proposition, when
he asked his audience to accept as Il
fact. But it is not fact, and he does
not try to prove that it is. This shows
how clear his reasoning is.

1t is announced that Senator THlman of
South Carolina viii visit Chicago after
Secretary Carlisle has addressed the labor
unions of that city on the money question,
and answer" the secretary's speech.
There can be little doubt that the an
nouncement of Tnlman's purpose is COR
rect. He is gifted with an unlimited
amount of self-assurance, and no doubt
imagines that that old speech of his is an
answer" to anything and everything
that may be asserted or suggested by any
body against whom he is politically OPP
posed. 1t is presumed that the senator
win use his old "pitchfork" speech, for
the reason that it is the one that he has
constantly employed ever since his entry
into public life. Ex-senator Butler as
serts that he heard it forty or nifty times
during their debate in South Carollna
prior to Tllman's election to the Senate.
Indeed, ex-senator Butler says Tnlman
could not make any ot,t4r speech if he
tried.

There is a Congressman Bartlett from
New York as well as a Congressman Bart
lett from Georgia. Not long ago the New
York Bartlett was involved in a personal
controversy with Congressman Gibson of
Tennessee and Sulzer of New York The
point was that Bartlett had got hold of
a circular in a printing Office and given
it to Sulzer, and that upon the basis of
the circular an attack had been made upon
Gibson. 1t appears now. according to a
Washington dispatch, that it was the
Georgia Bartlett and not the New York
er, who became possessed of the circular,
but he did not give it to Sulzer. It got
out of his possession and Sulzer got hold
Of it. The affair has already brought forth
d libel suit, and may be fruitful of other
sensations before the end is reached.

MOST PERFECT MADE.

We can assert, without fear of
contradiction, that Bob Haney and
Nick Allen meet with more thrill
ing adventures than any other Pearl
River county sportsmen. Our read
ers will remember their exciting
rattlesnake incident of last week;
and it now becomes our duty 10
chronicle still more alarming ex-
perience of these modern Nimrods,
that occurred several days ago.
Our two friends were hunting
near Bill Resler's place, about three
miles from town, and when the
tree shadows reached their length
they realized that they were bewil-
dered-l0st 10 the dismal forest.
But they recklessly plunged on~
ward and soon reached the banks
of Wolf creek. And right here
Col. Bob was inspired with q brill
liant idea whereby the points of the
compass might be ascertained. He
threw "chunks" into the stream, and
-well-be called Nick (who was
building fire to keep off the "var-
ment'), and swore by the sacred
figures of 16 to l that the wood
foated up stream ! 1t was now
dark, but they pushed forward at
random. When dry leaf rustled,
Nick, thinking of rattlers, would
clasp Bob in his arms, exclaitning {:
"Bob. you know not how l love
you y When a wild cat screamed
or an owl screeched, Bob would
throw bis arms around Nick's neck
and in trembling whispers say :
"N'ck, I would die for you; will you
die for me ?" The affection of the
celebrated Pythagoreans, Damon
and Pythias, was as naught COIN.
pared to the more than earthly love
evlDced by Bob and Nick for each
other. Both are "brave mcn."
To cut long story shorts after
untold hardships the foot-sore hunts

of Mr.. Fry, some six miles from
town, who conveyed them home,
where they arrived at 8 p. M, but
so demoralized that they hardly
recognized their own residences,
and their wives knew them not. A
searching party was sent out the
folio wing day to look for the horses
of the huntsmen, which had beer
abandoned in the woods. Nick
brought home two squirrels-cost
