Mr.. Fred o. Price, who was superin.

Cuba fighting with the insurgents under
General Maxine Gomez.
Price has written the following letter
from CUBA to Mr.. Harry Floyd, Geor-

"PINAR DEL Rio, Jan. %, 1896.-Dear
Old Harry: After safe but exciting
sea trip we arrived on this island in time
to get into small scrap two days ago.
1t didn't amount to much, however. as
we outnumbered the Spaniards four to

do anything but burn three or four
barns and destroy some growing
crops. In fact, this thing of warning

around us and jabbered- jabbered some
kind of dago talk until 1 nearly went

pressing their delight at having us come

''It all did very we'll and wouldn't
have minded it if they had been white
women, but they were nearly all mulat-

very much affected and said they'd new

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
ANOTHER CUTTING ARRAY TAKES
PLACE IN LUMPKIN.
Garland statham, Son of Former Daw-
son NJ an Severely Cut by Negro

A special from Lumpkin SAYS that
place was the scene of another cutting
sorape few days ago in which Henry
Stinson, negro, severely and danger
ously cut Mr.. Garland Statham.
Both were draymen, Stinson in the
employ Of Mr.. NJ. L. Everett, and Stat
ham in the employ of FELTON, & Little.
contractors in the building of tie new
court house.
Both met at the depot with their
drays, and the negro became angry with
Mr.. Statham alb )ut the location of car
on the side track to which he was haul
ing cotton seed, preparatory to ship
ment. Statham was on top of the ne
gros car to apply the brakes when the
oar was sufficiently moved out of his
way.
The negro ordered lim off in most
peremptory manner and cursed him. us.
ing the vilest of language and threw
brick at him. Statham got down from
the car, when the negro caught him by
the shoulders and cut him across the
throat, making an ugly cash aud barely
missing the jugular vein.
The cutting, and indeed the whole dit
ticulty, was most unprovoked, several
negroes who were present saying that
Statham made no resistance or said one
word during the time that the negro was
cursing.
Mr.. Statham's was been attend
e / to, and there is no apprehension of
any serious results.
Mr.. Statham is son of Mr.. w. G.
Statham, we'll known citizen of our
Gown, and he and family have the SYM
pathy of the citizens in this most UNI
provoked and wanton attack upon his
son, Woodworking and industrious

Mr.. E. 7. Hickey has been employed
for the prosecution.
The negro made no effort to escape,

UP.To-OATE CAMPAIGNING.
A New Apparatus That Wilt Be Utilized
By Candidates.

A New Apparatus That Wilt Be Utilized
BY Candidates.
Recently we published an account of
how a congressman from northwest
ern state, who was unavoidable detained
a Washington during Christmas week,
managed to deliver speech TO his Goa
stituents with the aid of a photograph.
A Pittsburg paper, which keeps track of
the practical applications of new appara-
tus, says that certain congressman who
can afford the expense have caught on
to the idea demonstrated by the man
from the northwest, and will, in the CON-
ing campaign, make use of talking MAJ
chimes to spread their speeches in their
own voices. Thus the vocal personality
of the persuasive statesman will be split
up into as many parts as he is able to
afford machines, and each part will
speak with ali of the unctuOus grace of
the original The statesman will set up
a receiving apparatus in his rom, and
load it up with his eloquence at his leis-
ure. He will be able to study his pero-
rations critically, and modulate any that
may seem likely to fall fat. He will be
able to hire brass band for so much
per hour of evenings, and thus furnish
gratis to his constituents in the back
districts the music that should appro>
priately.go with his speech Pathetic
parts Of the speech can be made tremu-
lous with emotion by the Introduction
into the cylinder of slow music. This
will come in where the woes of the dear
people and the grinding heel of mOnops
oily are dealt with. And then when the
glories of our blood-bought liberties are
expatiated upon the fight Of oratory
can be made magnificent with the in
spring strains of the Star.Spangled
Banner.

PENSIONERS COMING SOUTH.
ONE EFFECTIOF THE IMMIGRATION
MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Now Annually Distrib
pted in This Section by the Government.
Rapidly Increasing.

The time may not be distant when
third. and perhaps half, of the pension
money paid out by the government will
be distributed in the south. Tie moves
ment of members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, particulay of those who
receive pensions, to the south is now
so large as to attract general attention,
and it is steadily growing in volume.
The reason of this is that the old soldiers
of the north suffer from he effects of
wounds received, or diseases contracted,
in the war; and are anxious to pass
their declining years in a nilder, climate
The long and severe northern winters
are thinning their ranks rapidly. They
believe they would live longer and
would have better health in the south.
That is why so many of them are set
ting in North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi,
louisiana and Texas.
In dispatch published in the Savan
nah Morning News, giving an account of
the movement of immigrants from the
west to Alabama, it was stated that at
present about 81 100000 of federal pen
sion money is paid out in the south an
nually, and that it is estimated that
$15,000,000 will be paid out next year.
II this estimate should not prove erro
neous 1t affords good ground for say
ing that the time is not distant when
ha!f the money disbursed by the gov
eminent for pensions will be paid to
northern veterans living in the south.
Only those who have given special
attention to the movement of northern
veterans to the south know how large
it is. All the southern railroads are
now encouraging immigration. This
state has received thousands of immi-
Grants from the north within the last
twelve months. There are at least
seven thousand in the new town of Fitz>
gerald, and it is confidently expected
that the Fitzgerald colony will number
anywhere from 5000 to 10000 with
in year. In fact, nearly all the coun
ties In southern Georgia are gaining in
population from immigration. The
freeze last year in Florida did not check
immigration to that state. From all
accounts it is greater now to some parts
of the state than ever before. NJ SIS SIS
ippi, through the efforts of the Illinois
Central railroad, is receiving immigrants
by the thousand.
1t would be remarkable condition
OF affairs if the greater part of the an~
nnal pension disbursement should be
distributed in the south before the end
OF TINS century,now pretty close at hand.
Yet things more remarkable than this
have happened,

A Profitable Industry.

We make mistake when we despise
small things. We lose time, labor anG
money reaching out after the big prizes,
when we could make a fortune by turn
ing our attention to the small affairs of
life,
The New York World calls attention
to the fact that our hens contribute
yearly over s135, 900, 900 to the wealth
of the country. They have caused the
rise and growth of that worthy class,
the chicken farmers. AS our contempt
rary well says, no chicken farmer ever
led riot. Few of them have gone to
the gallows and few of them have been
sent to Jail. They are as class as
quiet, peaceful and contented as their
hens.
The demand for chickens and eggs is
practically unlimited. They are products
which will stand shipping long dis
tances, and they are articles of universal
consumption. Here in the south we are
paying altogether too little atten ion to
this money making industry.

Unsuspecting Creditor.
From the Vermillion Freeman.
"There are tricks in all trades but
ours" remarked the carpenter, "and
sometimes we drive screws with a ham
mer." A few days days ago, not more
chan thousand miles from Lake coun-
ty, collector called on farmer for
payment Of note secured by chattel
mortgage, The farmer was obdurate
and gave no satisfaction that he would
g er pay the note. Finally the collector
said, "Well, I'll have to take the eleven
COWS named in the mortgage" "Oh,
no: you haven't got mortgage on
eleven COWS on this farm" ''Why, yes,
] have" And the collector pulled out
copy Of the mortgage and read as
follows: Zone red and white COW, one
COW spotted red and white, one red cow
with white spots, one COW with white
spot in the forehead, one red cow with
two white hind feet, one white cow with
red spots on the side, one white and red
COW, one red COW with two white fore
feet, one white COW with red spots on
h ps, one white cow spotted with red.
Now, how do You like that?" continued
the collector. ooh, that's all right; L

Successful Experiment With ROentgen's
Method of Photography.

Successful Experiment With ROentgen's
Method of Photography.
From the New York World.
MONTREAL, Feb. .s17.-Medical men in
this city have been for weeks anxiously
watching the experiments of Professor
Cox, of McGill University, with DR..
Roentgen's method of invisible pho
Biography by the cathode ray.
On Christmas day bullet was fired
into the calf of the left leg of q young
man named Cunning. The injured
youth was taken to the Montreal Gener-
eral Hospital, where efforts were made
to locate the bullet by probingI but
without success. The wound healed
over and two weeks after the accident
young Cunning left the hospital. All
went well until this week, when the
wound became troublesome from the
fact that the bullet still remained in the
leg.
1t was decided t. try to locate the bull
let with the assistance of DR.. Roentgen's
discovery. The young man was taken
to one of the experimenting laboratories
in the Physics building at McGill Uni
versity, where the experiment was to
take place. When he had taken his seat
mera-holder containing a. Stanley
sensitized plate was placed against a
heavy block Of wood at one side Of the
leg, the latter being held in steady
position by means of bandages and
towels.
When ali was in readiness the electric
current was turned on, The light i'm,
mediately began to flare and flicker, but
after short interval became quite
steady At the end of forty-five minutes
the current was cut off, the bandages
loosened and the plate taken to the
dark room for developing. After the
lapse of fifteen minutes Professor Cox
reappeared. He said he had every rea-
son to feel gratifed at the result. ''fhe
bones in the calf of the Leg" said lie,
are plainly discernibIe in the plate, and
| in addition there is a solid substance
there which am convinced is the bull

The doctors in attendance and the pa
tent himself were likewise pleased with

quently Cunning was requested to re
turn to the hospital, where an operation
will be performed as soon as print can
be obtained from the plate.
