Gen. Lee May not Go to Havana.

New York, Oct. 20.-A Washington
dispatch to the Herald says:
Maj.-Gen. Francis Vinton Greene, ol
New York, may lead the army of occu.
patton into Havana, in place of Maj.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. On account of the
prOtracted illness of General Lees wife,
the gallant Virginian has been granted
an indefinite leave of absence. 1t may
be necessary to remove Mrs. Lee to a
health resort, and General Lee desires
to be with her.
At the War Department I was assur-
ed that there is no desire to deprive
General Lee of the privilege of COM
manding the Seventh Army Corps when
it enters Havana. Should Mrs. Lee re-
cover her health before the movement
to Havana takes place, General Lee
will probably resume his command.
The situation is perfectly we'll under.
stood and entirely satisfactory to Gen
eral Lee.
Maj. Gen. Warren Keifer, of Ohio.
was the senior officer of the Seventh
Corps next to Geneeal Lee, but he is on
furlough, with an application for mus
ter out pending. He was at the War
Department, and it is understood that
his request will shortly be granted. Gen
eral Greene is the next ranking officer,
and was placed in command of the Sew
enth Corps yesterday.
Richmond, Oct. 2O.-The physicians
in attendance upon Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee
say that lady has about passed the
danger line and that there is good rea-
son to believe she will recover. General
Lee saw his wife yesterday for the first
time since his arrival here week ago.
Her condition heretofore was so critical
that no one was permitted to see her.

Left for Charleston.

Mr.. Robert H. Martin, who for many
years has resided III this city and en-
gagged in newspaper work, left last week
for Charleston, VIVA. to accept the po
sition of managing editor of the daily
and weekly Mail and Tribune. Mr..
Martin came to Staunton from Wood
stock to accept the position Of city editor
on the Daily News, position he held
with credit both to himself and the
paper. Later Mr.. Martin took up the
work of corresponding with out of town
papers in connection with his other du
ties and in this work he won an euvi-
able reputation. He was also the city
and associate editor Of the Daily Record,
which later merged into the DAILY
SPECTATOR, and it was mainly through
his efforts that that paper kept abreast
of the times and won the reputation ol
having been the best daily ever publish
ed in this city. Mr. Martin is well quail
fled to fill any position connected with
a newspaper and the SPECTATOR con
graduates the Mail and Tribune in
securing his services.

More About Negro Postmasters.

The Nelson County Times is appre-
hensive lest the Franklin county Incl
dent will be reptated in Nelson and says:
"We see that negro has been ap-
pointed postmaster recently, at Junta.
Franklin county. The next thing we
hear. one will be appointed in Nels on
county, L. W. Wood, who for many
years was the efficient chairman of the
Republican party in Nelson, was turned
out and negro, Jacob Brown, elected
in his place for the avowed purpose OF
filling the postoffices in Nelson with
negroes. How do the white Republicans
of this county, like this? The chair
man and every member of the Republi
can committee OF Nelson, are negroes.
The negroes themselves have now drawn
the color line, and the white Republi.
cans will either have to vote the Demo
cratic ticket OIL follow in the wake OF
the sons of Ham. All the delegates
from Nelson to the Staunton co iven-
tion, at which R. T. HUBBARD was nom
mated, were negroes. They were in
structed by the mass meeting which
sent them, to vote for no candidate fol
congress who did not promise fair dis
tribution of offices between the whites
and blacks. Jake Falwell said that Mr.
r. T. Hubbard not only made these
promises, but through his henchman
Caeser Perkins of Buckingham. secured
the support of the solid delegation by
paying them S. a piece and their ex
penses to and from StauntoD, which
combined with the support of the Mel
son delegation, Mr.. Hnbard got the
nomination. Let Mr. HUBBARD rise an(
explain"
Col. Hubbard doubtless promised Cea
sar Perkins something.it may have beer
a postOffice or it may not. The people
of Augusta may look out for negro post
masters if the disease continues te
spread. AS Mr.. Mckinley does, so mus
the party do.

Death of Mrs. VIM. Mahaney.

The death of Mrs. VIM Mahaney.
which occurred at her home on Rail-
road Avenue, Wednesday morning last
was unexpected, though the lady has
been in bad health for quite while.
Mrs. Mahaney was about 35 years of
age. She was afflicted with pulmonal y
trouble and had had several hemorr-
hages from which she was relieved, but
on the morning of her death she was
stricken with violent hemorrhage
from which she could not rally, and died
in very short time.
Mrs. Mahaney was Miss Sallie Foster,
of Waynesboro. Va, prior to her mar
riage, and was devoted Christian wo-
man. She was member of the Baptist
church of her native town. Her funeral
took place yesterday afternoon from the
Baptist church conducted by Kew. Mr..
Barker, and the interment was made in
the cemetery here. A husband and
eight children survive, who will have
the sympathy of the community.-Clif-
ton Forge Review.

A man may dress as well as his own
good judgement and the assistance of an
artistic tailor may elect. He may take
his tubs but if his digestive organs are
out of order. :he will have an unwhol-
some appearance. His complexion and
the white of his eyes will have yellow
ish cast. His tongue will be coated, ap-
petite poor, his teeth rusty, his breath
abominable. He is one big, unmistak-
able sign of constipation. The quick
est, surest, easiest way to cure this
trouble is to take DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are made of refined, con-
centrated vegetable extracts. Nothing
in the least harmful enters into their
composition. They hunt down all i'm
purities, and make them move on.
They are the product of many years
study and practice. DR.. Pierce cannot
afford to put forth worthless article.

Negro Postmaster in Franklin County

.
The following letter has been sent tn
I SPECTATOR requesting publication. |
contains matter OF extreme importanc
to the people of the Fifth District an,
we give it place. at the same time Offer
ing our columns to MI. Yost OF anyon
having information which will lead t.
an ascertainment of the facts. The Up
pointmeDt of a negro postmaster wa
made only few days ago at Junta Post
office, in Franklin county. The respon
sibility for this appointment of cours
rests upon some one and the Republi
cans are trying hard, they say, to find VIII
should bear it. They claim to be indig
nant over the appointment and it il
said will lose them many votes:
Staunton, Va, Oct. 10Th, 1898.
To the Editor of the SPECTATOR:
The Republicans seem to be havin.
trouble in the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict over the appointment of a negrt
postmaster.
From information of a most trust
worthy character we learn, that about
two months ago negro living ten OF
twelve miles from Tunta Postoffics,s il
Franklin county, had petition gotter
up secretly and signed by about forty
negro patrons of the Office, which was
sent to Congressman Y Yost, who endors
ed him, and upon his endorsement the
commission was issued.'
The facts in the case came to the
knowledge Of the Republicans of Frank
lin county, as they claim. first. when
Swanson spoke at Galloway, Franklin
county, where Mr.. Swanson had the
negro's commission. The Republicans
also say, that the commission of the
negro was taken out of the hepostoffice by
the Democratic postmaster and given
to Swanson before the new appointee
had ever seen it, or the Republicans had
ever heard of it. The commission, it
appears, was issued two months ago
and only just now has come to the
knowledge of the Republicans of Frank
lin county.
A pertinent enquiry in this connec-
tion is, why should Yost, of the Tenth
District, recommend a postmaster for
the Fifth District without the know
ledge or recommendation of the Repub-
licans of that district? Will Mr.. Yost
answer to the Republicans of the Fifth
District for this great wrong done
them, and explain to his own constit-
uency, of the Tenth District, how it is
that he has so persistently declined to
endorse his own people at home, and
yet goes to far off district to en-
dorse applications of parties to him un
known, and who have not the endorse
ment of the county in which the appli-
can't resides, we say, unknown, for we
in charity would say, Mr.. Yost must
have acted through ignorance of the
facts and conditions. Let us hear from
you Mr.. Yost.
