The wholly unexpected is continually

Qualification. The campaign managers
did not intend for this nasty, ,wicked
scheme to be uncovered until after
election, but the real truth Of the mat.
ter has come to light and has gone out
over the state and is arousing much
just indignation. The iniquity of these
imposters does )t end with taking ad-
vantage Of the blind, feeble minded
and insane, in itself an offense that
smells to heaven. 1t is three.fold.
They have violated the divine law, the
law Of state and aimed an insult
and injury at one of our most promis.
ing young industries. In 1895 the state
passed a law in the interests of the
farmers and dairymen, making cleo.
margarine contraband. The creamery
industry of the state is an important
one, destined to have a wonderful
growth in the immediate future il
properly fostercd and encouraged.

CROWS FIGHT A TURTLE.
A Maryland Mon Comes to the Resoua
Of One of the Birds Held Pris- 4
oner By the Reptile.

5s=jaSsiH Rust, of Chsstertown, I'D.
gives an interesting account of COM
bat between large swapping turtle
and vast number of crows, which he
witnessed few days ago. While noted
for his shyness, the crow is also noted
as vicious fighter In defense Of his
own household. Mr.. Rust noted great
commotion among the crows in mead
ow. The birds were darting down maxi
ing vicious thrusts with their beaks
and pounding away with their wings
at the same time keeping up tremen-
dous chatter.
1t was noticed that one crow, though
tapping vigorously, was unable to get
away. An examination disclosed the
cause of the trouble to be big snap
ping turtle, which had seized crow
by the wing and held 1t captive, and
was making his way TO q branch, where
1t IL supposed the bird would have
been dragged down and drowned, pre-
paratory to being eaten. Mr.. Rust cap
tured the snapper and released the
crow.
Snappers do no small amount of dam
age to goslings and young ducks. They
grab their prey by the foot as they swim
along, drag them beneath the water
and when they are drowned proceed ia
devour them at their leisure.

REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION FIVE.
MIR. j. p. Lewis informs MS that IN
the registration under section five,
just closed August 31st, there have
been S23 persons registered in Grant
parish. Of those registered more
than three-fourths do not come un-
der the strict provisions of the law.
A stampede to get registered was pre-
cipitated by the howls raised by the
Populists, and it seems that an I'M
usually large number took advantage
OF the provisions to register. The
consequence is Grant parish is to be
advertised to the world as having
four or five times as many white Hit
crates as we really have.

How sutherlin Bought EN- Up

How Sutherlin Bought EN- Up.
The Alexandria Town Talk is just
now engaged in anexcited controver-
sy with a correspondent who makes
the charge that Judge Sutherlin has
bought up all the newspapers in the
4th Congressional district. What is
the use of denying it, Mccormick?
You ought just to admit the truth,
and let it go at that.
Don't you know very well that
Judge Sutherlin and Messrs. Ogden
and Breazeale all whacked up $25
apiece to buy up the papers OF the
district, and they own the last one of
them for the entire campaign? No
good Democratic editor ought to
deny this fact. But it seems that
Sutherlin has thrown little more in
to the balances than the others, and
in addition to his cash he has shown
up splendid record, of irreproach-
able character, christian integrity,
-undoubted ability, wonderful popu-
larity, brilliant leadership, and such
natural adaptation, that he has won
universal confidence as the man for
Congress above all Others.
Yes, sir; he has not only boughtup
the papers, but he has also bought
up people of the district-by show
ing his fitness to serve them. The
people tacitly regard it as a bargain
and sale. Sutherlin fills the bill, and
they propose to close the trade by
voting for him.
