cial. About one o'clock yesterday
morning Deputy Sheriff S.A. Gam
BILE went down about the Taylor
compress to arrest negro prisoner
whom he thought was in hiding

among the cotton he was fired
upon by the colored night watch
man Of the compress, who mistook
the officer for an unwsrrant ed in
truder upon the premises. The
officer returned the fire and shot
Lloyd Robertson, the Waterman,
through the breast, after which
the officer and Waterman became
more reconciled in their early
morning greetings.

THE SAME OLD GAME.

As was predicted, the California
Republicans have declared. for free
coinage and pledged their delegates
to the National Convention to vote
for the nomination of Mckinley for
President. AS Mckinley is an un-
compromising enemy TO free coinage,
this shows that the Republican party,
even as far west az it exists in this
country, is unfriendly to silver. 1t
declares for free coinage in States
where it is. known that the people ia
vor that idea, and itdeclares against
it in States where the people are
known to be opposed to free coinage.
How much longer will the people be
fooled by this hippodroming? De-
clsrlng for principle and then vot-
ing for some one who is opposed to
that principle may be looked upon as
very fine work by the party manipu-
lators, but it makes man with a lit
tie bit of sense give hearty horse
laugh.-Lyon County Times.
The Times might have gone further
and stated that This man Mckinley,
who now poses in the silver states as
free SILVER man and in the gold
states as red-hot gold-bug is the
same Mckinley who said at Thomas
vile. Georgia, year ago when Of
fered the delegations from three
Southern States if he would decla re
in favor of free silver: @If the RI
publican platform declares for free
coinage, | will not be a candidate.
l would not run on free silver plat
form."
So far as this writer recollects, Mr..
Mckinley has never denied the truth
OF the statement telegraphed from
Thoma>ville. Neither have his opin-
ions on the silver question changed
since then, SO far as the public knows.
This being the case, it is passing
strange how man con shout for free
silver and howl for Mckinley in the
same breath. Still the Republican
spoilsmen do it, and the rank and file
of the party take up the shout. Poor
fools! ...

what Cathode Means.

Let us first see what we mean by
the term cathode. If we should break
the tiny tilament of an Edison mean
descent lamp mt the middle of the
glowing loop the light will go out. If,
now, we connect the two ends of the
broken filament to the poles Of bat
terry of a great many thousand voltaic
cells, such as are commonly used to
ring house bells, we should be able
to light the lamp again, not by mean
descence, but by feeble glow which
pervades the whole bulb. The ends
OF the broken tilament would glow,
and the glow at one end of the fla
ment would be different in appear
ance from that of the other. ,..Che
broken filament, by means of which,
the electrical energy enters the bulb.
; Is called the anode, and the tilament,
by means Of which, in ordinary Ian
guage, it leaves the bulb, is called the
cathode. ...r ...s .. ,..-. sz.si,. n
Now, the great peculiarly of the
cathode rays is this they seem to be
independent of the position of the
anode, and they stream out from the
cathode like the beam Of a searchlipbt
striking the walls Of the inclosing ves-
sel.--Scrlbner's Magazine.

Now is the time to plant
sorghum, after you have
planted all you think you
will need, put in as much
more. The most successful
way to get the greatest
amount of good at the least
expenditure of time and
money is to sow broadcast
and pasture, | use two
pastures and now have cane
up that l first planted.
1t will stand more frost
and cold weather than corn.
When your sorghum is about
four to six inches high you
can then turn in and pasture.
If you have two pastures
you can let one rest a few
days and it will be greately
improved. By this means
you can save a large amount
of labor in cutting and
handling, besides getting
the Advantage of six weeks
