tains some faces known more or less at
home and abroad. Chief among them are
Hon Thomas W. Lamb. present collector
of customs; Judge A. 7. Crovat, formerly
mayor. county judge and alderman; R. r.
Hopkins, candidate for the collectorship;
F. Elmore Twitty, lawyer; H. H. Mccall
lister, secret order man, and Deputy
Sheriff Emmett Taylor.
The expressed intention of those foster
ing the club is not to apply for Office
themselves but 10 put. the young men for
ward. E. r. Belcher, colored, chairman of
the Eleventh district republican executive
committee, has assured them of his active
support with pledges for his followers and
this promise the good governments are
banking on heavily
On Tuesday night an aldermanc ticket
will be put out. Those composing it are
said to be Messrs. H. H. McCallster, To-
bias Newman, It. r. Twitty and NJ. Yer

In the October state and county election

levy before the legislature. This is the
extra tax put on for court house purposes.
II will also fight to put a bill through the
legislature for the election of county COM

BUSY BUMBLEBEEs.
Quaint Stories OF How They Help the
Tired Mother Queen.
From sd. NICHOLS Magazine.

From St. Nicholas Magazine.
In early spring, when the meadows first
take on a tinge of green and the apple
trees put forth their rosy buds, we may
often see a single large bumblebee flying
low and swiftly back and forth across
the lawns and pastures
These great bees are queens who have
just awakened from their long winters
sleep, and are now seeking some favored
spot wherein to commence housekeeping
and found a colony, for these insects, like
their cousins, the honey bees, live in col
cnies consisting of three classes or castles
-''drones,' or males; queens" or females
and workers" When our big queen has
at last discovered a satisfactory building
site, usually a deserted mouse hole, she
cleans 1t of all rubbish and litter and
places within ball of pollen in which
she lays her eggs The young grubs hatch
out possessed with enormous appetites,
and, feeding on the pollen, eat 1t in all
directions. AT last when fully grown
and their craving for food Is satisfied
they spin cocoons of silk in the remains
of the pollen and change to pupae While
her family is thus sleeping quietly within
their sillSen cells, the old queen is con-
stantly at work building up and strength
ening the cocoons with wax.
Finally, their sleep being over, the pu-
pae cases burst, and the young bees come
forth in all their glory of black and gold
en- livery and gaugy wings.
The first brood consists entirely of work
ers, who Immediately fall to and relieve
their tired mother queen of all work and
duties with the exception of laying eggs.
They fly hither and thither, always busy
and Industrious, now plunging into the
center of a gorgeous hollyhock or a sunny
dandelion, or buzzing about among the
modest daisies, or diving head first into
some sweet-scented or aristocratic lily
or rose, always emerging from their quest
for honey covered with the golden dust
of pollen This honey and the pollen thus
gathered are stored away, and the eggs
laid in the waxen cells from which the
workers issued; and the next brood, com
posed of drones and young queens, feed
upon this store of nectar.

Il lIty bflillort Men Lend Their Flo
quence and Wit to the Event.
Gainesville, Ca, Oct. 16.-One of the
most notable events in the life of the great
Georgia evangelist, Rev. Sam P Jones,
took place to-day at his elegant home in
this city. 1t was the celebration of the 5Oth
anniversary of his HE He was surrounded
by his friends from many cities. Among

constant inspirator through all these long
years, was by his side with new light in
her eyes All their children were present
except one, Miss Laura Jones, who is at

NOT SOUGHT AFTER,
Place of Engineer On the Nicaragua
Canal Commission.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Washington, Oct. Alt appears that
another change is to be made in the per-
sonnet of the Nicaragua canal commits
sion. Since the enforced retirement of
Capt Carter considerable difficulty has
been experienced by the war department
in securing an officer of the engineer corps
for the succession. Instead of detailing
an officer believed to be qualified for the
duties involved, as would be done in the
case of an officer of the line of the army,
the department has been graciously con-
sulting the engineer officers with the eVi-
dent purpose not to assign any member
of the corps to the duty unless perfectly
agreeable to the officer thus consulted. AS
the result of this policy of coddling the
vacancy on the commission continues and
much valuable time has been lost. Since
the appointment of the commission five
engineer officers have been invited to &C,
cept duty on it. First there was Capt.
Carter, whose REIMBURSEMENT of the de-
tail has caused the trouble. Maj. Leach
was invited and declined, and Maj. Pow
ELL who was brought from Pittsburg to
consult about the matter, found that he
could not accept the detail because of his
lack of physical qualifications. Capt. Ros>
SELL who is on duty at Mobile declined,
and Mai. Livermore was called from Bos-
ton and his appointment announced. But
il seems there Is some obstacle to the ac-
ceptance of Maj. Livermore and the va
cancy is still begging for an engineer off,
Ger who is willing to fill it. Unless an
actual order is made for one of these
officers to attend the commission no man
of that corps on the active list is likely
to be secured, and recourse will have to
be had to the retired list. 1t has been
suggested that Gen. Craighill, who was
recently retired from the head of the en-
gineer corps because of age, but who is a
strong man physically as well as profess
sionally might be willing to accept the va
cancy, and there are limitations that he
will be invited to do so.

How Massachusetts Loves the Negro.

How Massachusetts Loves the Negro
AS appropriate to your editorial of
Thursday this writer submits details of
a case which occurred in Boston during
the summer and for truth of which see
columns of the Globe and Journal of va
rious dates between July and September.
AT the election for state officers for 1897.
midst the war of contesting factions a
negro, named Anderson, was slipped in AZ
a member of the governor council-soon
as the smoke of the contest cleared away
great was the CONSERVATION of his asso-
GATES 1t was resolved that the govern
or and council would not as a BODY ac-
cept any invitation, but each member was
to go as he pleased Then it was sought
10 dispose of the sable brother by having
him arrested as contumacious debtor
there being, it seems a law in Massachu-
sets by which a debtor can be held in
prison, unless and until he shall swear
himself out. The negro very readily took
the no property oath, and being asked
as to his means of support declared 1t
was by embarrassing and politics.!
cleared of this danger, he went solus to
the Tennessee centennial and on his re-
turn he gave out TO the reporters his hair
raising story. Soon as he appeared in
Nashville he became a shining mark APP
parently because he was clad in regula-
ton uniform Plug hat and claw-ham-
mer coat. On the street or in the cars
he was reviled, abused and spit upon He
was present al one or more lynchings,
when a brother of pTognathous type was
cruelty hung for the venial offense of de-
stroying a helpless child or an innocent
virgin, by the favorite method. He brave
ly interfered to save his brother from the
mob, but came very near losing his own
w "a l. II.
OF police With this story as his stock
in trade, he demanded that his name be
again placed on the ticket for this fall
election. Says he noticed a move to drop
him out and he threatens, if this is done,
ne will take himself and his following
over to the opposing faction on election
day. Such are the main facts as dictated
py Boston papers, from which it seems
mat the political status of the sable
brother in Massachusetts is essentially
the same as it is in Georgia; it is only his
ballot not his person is wanted.
