The Sheriff Secures Bloodhounds-A Me-
 gro Thief Cleverly Caught.
 Union Springs, Nov. 4.-(Special Cor respondence.)- )-Sheriff Ritch does not in- tend to be behind the times in keeping ready for the chasing of criminals. He now has a lot of fine hounds which he is training to trail people. The hounds that MT. Roberts had did great good for the county, and MT. Ritch will soon have the criminals who have occasion to run before them will stand fine chance of being caught.
 Fun for Friday evening in the court house. A regular old-fashion, jolly spell bee, for the benefit of the organ fund Admission price only 10 cents.
 Within the past eighteen months the roads throughout this country have been most wonderfully improved. Those who used to travel our country roads from two years ago back are the ones who can now most appreciate the present condi- tion. A better movement by a board of commissioners was never made, than that for the present system of road work for Bullock county.
 Tom Thompson was arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of having entered MT. Whit Chadwick's room with the in- tent of stealing. He had key which fit the lock, and he entered, knowing MT. Chadwick was gone, but MT. Wilson hap pened to be inside and stopped him.
 More residences could be rented in Union Springs if they could be had. There are other people who would like to move to this city, and they display an amount of good taste in desiring this place as a home.

Secretary Herbert Goes A-Fishing-Mat'

 HH Greenvlle, Nov. 3.-(Special Corre- Ut is raining at intervals this morning, and it is sloppy and dis agreeable underfoot; but, nevertheless, the people are turning out, and the indica- tionS now are that pretty full vote VIII be boiled.
 Speech-m making for this campaign was closed here al Il o'clock yesterday morn dng when the Hon. J. r. Stallings made an able speech at the opera house to large audience.
 Secretary of the Navy Hillary A. Her bert spent Sunday with relatives here, and yesterday went fishing at 'Granam miT.'' about eight miles south of Green vile. Your correspondent Is informed ahat the secretary caught two or three white perch, and doubtless had nice day of it--nicer and more profitable. per haps, than if he had remained in the city and met Stallings in joint debate, as was. desired by many.
 milr' brings to mind a speech made in this county by local politician prior to the August election, in which the speaker Is reported to have said, among other things: Hill Herbert talks about build ing ships; why he's no carpenter--never was carpenter, and tell you now would not trust my wife across Grahams s mill pond in boat built by him. ,-
 Can 1t be that the secretary's vislt to
  sire to practically demonstrate his abill- ties as a carpenter, and thus refute the charge made?
 Now, that the money question Is being so generally discussed, the following statement made years ago by then rep resentative in the legislature from this county, and handed down through gen. erations might be of interest, and there- fore I give 1t verbatim. At the time Tn question the matter of state bank bills as a legal tender was being warmly ag- itated A group of citizens had congre- gated on the street as they sometimes do now, and were discussing the sub- feet, when the said representative step ped up and joined the party. After list ening attentively for some time to what was being said, and finally being called upon for his views, gave them thus:
 well, gentlemen. if I were to make a tenement of bank bills to man and he were to infuse and then take out consecution and level on my defects, if didn't make a sacrament of him, d--n me-"
 Notwithstanding the threatening condi- tion of the weather. large and appre- cative audience attended the entertain ment at the opera house last week. which was a decided success in all respects.
 It would be hard indeed to say too much in praise of the reetals of that most charming southern beauty, Miss Emmie Frazer, of Union Springs, to whose nat ural talents and graces culture of the highest order has been added. Her beau- ty. grace and ability in the art of express sion form a most plasing combination, which delight and captivate the audi ence from beginning to end She is an Alabamian of whom her people are just ly proud. and who richly deserves the high encomiums So worthilY bestowed

The Licensing of Vice.

The proposition advanced by the Law
and Order society of the state of New
York to provide by law for the licensing
within certain metropolitan districts Of
disreputable houses, the fees to form a
maintenance fund for the support of
invalid. INDECENT or penitent inmates of
these houses, will no doubt excite dis
cussion and reveal anew the inability
of purely theoretical reformers to dis
tinguish between theory and fact. 1t
Is declared by those who advocate the
change from an Intellectual attempt at
the prohibition of the less disguised
phases Of the social evil to practicable
form of restriction that the recent po-
New York city have had the effect, not
of decreasing the vice of unchastity,
but simply of scattering the moral
leprosy throughout previously uncon-
taminated districts, and subjecting
pure and decent citizens to unpreced-
ented annoyance and humiliation.
We can the more readily credit this
assertion when we remember that once,
in our own city, similar crusade had
identically the same effect. 1t trans
ferred the area of contamination from
q few back alleys to some of the most
respectable residence portions of the
city, to the great scandal of the inhabit
ants of those portions. whose children
were at an all too early age made ia
miliar with that species of human de-
pravity which it is the Hish of wise
parents to keep from their offsprings
ken as long and as effectually as pos
sible. The gain to morals from de-
centralizing of the social evil was abso-
iutely nothing. The evil continued
every whit as virulent as before. The
only difference to be noticed after the
practitioners of it had been distributed
among clean homes was that honest
families were subjected to additional
peril.
There are some persons who decline

Harrison in a Contingency.

The circumstances under which the
name of Benjamin Harrison may be
come a powerful factor at st. Louis
can be imagined as follows: In the
first place. it is probable that a scat
tering vote will be cast for the eX-preSi-
dent from the beginning of the ballot
ing. thus keeping his name constantly
before the convention. This may be
done by accident or by arrangement
but In either event It will have the
effect to draw the attention of disaf'
fected delegates to a candidacy which
ties of bitter fight in the convention.
Secondly. should it appear that Nc
Kinley cannot win because of the com
bination of the politicians against him,
what more natural result than that
the Mckinley forces, rather than turn
to any one of the auti-NlcKinley candi-
dates. should go in Il mass to the In
dianian, whose nomination would be
quite as likely to give pain to Mr..
Platt, Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Clarkson and
their immediate colleagues as would
that of the Napoleon of protection him
self. General Harrison could no doubt
pull from "the field" enough votes. adj
ded to the Mckinley strength. to NOM
mate himself easily. After that, of
course, it would be made unanimous.
All this is only harmless bit of
Specliln ion but at a time when the
outlook with reference to the st. Louis
convention seems impenetrable, one is
privileged TO draw on his imagination
In lieu of more substantial evidence.
We have no doubt that General Harris
on was sincere in his recent letter re-
fusing to permit his name to be con-
sidered in connection with another
presidential nomination: but he is new
ertheless subject to party draft and
such draft he could not refuse to
honor The nomination of Benjamin
Harrison at St. Louis would give emf
nent satisfaction to every Republican
who is Republican from principle and
conscience.
Revolts against Thomas y. Reed are
very frequent in the Washington dis
patches. They usually end by exhibit
ing Mr.. Reed in increased mastery OF
the situation.
