CONGRESSMAN LOVE DEAD.
Dies at His Home at Gioster, After
Lingering Illness.

Gloster, siiss., Oct. 16.-Con-
gresham Love died at his home
here at 4 o'clock to-day, after a
lingering illness.
William Franklin Love, OF
Gloster was born March 20, 1852,
in Amite county, Miss, near LII
berty. He was educated in the
University of Mississippi. He
was brought up on his fathers
farm and IS now engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits. When q years
of age he was elected to represent
his county in the state legislature,
and was reelected twice in sue
cession. He was then elected
state senator, and served for eight
years. He was delegate to the
state constitutional convention,
which in 1890 solved the negro
problem, and was the first step
by any southern state in the way
of restricting the suffrage to the
intelligent white voters. He was
still in the state senate, and serv-
ing as chairman of the committee
on finance, when he was elected
to congress in 1896 by a big majo-
rity over the republican opponents
who were run against him. His
record in congress, as the repre-
sentative ofathe Sixth district, has
been a remarkably fine one for
a man of so small experience in
national affairs. He made a spe-
cial study of the postal service,
and he has been commended time
and again for his valuable work
as a member of the postal affairs
committee of the house. He has
done incalculable service to the
South in improving the mail
service In isolated localities. Him
self living in a little town that re-
ceived mail only once a week, he
had practical experience of the
Inconvenience caused thereby, ,and
that was what induced him to de-
vote his energies and talents tow
ards the improvement of the SER
vice.
He has been sick for month
or more, and for the past two
weeks he has been at deaths door.
His death will be hard blow to
a large number of friends.

AFTER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS
A Minnie Ball Extracted from Vet
eran, Received at Vicksburg.

Last June, thirty-five years ago,
during the siege of Vicksburg,
Capt. Alex Myatt received a Fed
eral minnie ball in his right eye.
From that time on until last week
the bullet has remained in his
head despite the efforts of emf
nent physicians to locate and re-
move it. The bullet is now out
and the captain is correspond
ingly happy man, as he has at
times suffered excruciatingly.
Early last week Capt. Myatt
went to DR.. G.. B. johnson to have
him pull out the stump of what
he supposed was a tooth in his
right upper jaw and which was
giving him a great deal of pain.
The doctor made several attempts
but as it did not pull like a tooth
he concluded that it was the long
lost bullet and so informed the
captain. The latter asked at once
that a physician be called, and DR..
Brewer was sent for. Later on
DR.. r. w. Faulk was called in
and he was present at nearly all
the subsequent operations.
The question was then how to
get the bullet out. The captain
would not allow anesthetics to be
used. Then DR.. Johnston started
in with his dentist drill and after
five sittings the bullet was so cut
that it easily came through the
opening that it had made for it
self. This was on Saturday even
ing. The operations were attend
ed with a great deal of pain, and
that together with the tediousness
of the operation neeessitated the
length of time consumed.
The diagnosis of the case show
ed that the bullet had turned
down at right angles and came
under the eye into the antrum
himore. Thence it had gradual
! l'-wse.;.',ssa v - k1e iss way down I1se the
jaw. DIR. Calder wood of this city.
DR.. Stone of New Orleaus, and
quite number of physicians, had
diagnosed the case and all decid-
ed that the bullet was in the bark
of the head and that it could not
be removed. 1t remained for DR..
Johnston to find the long lost
bullet and to remove it.
Capt. Myatt was member of
the Twenty-frst Louisiana regi-
ment and was in Vicksburg at the
time of the siege. He was stand
ing behind the breastworks when
hit. The bullet came through
the earth works before hitting
him, and thus a great deal of its |
force was lost. He was sent TO
the hospital where he remained
until July 18th, when he came
home. While in the hospital af-
ter the surrender. he was attended
by some of the best surgeons in
the Federal army, all of whom as
serted that the ball had gone to
far into the back of the head.
While the captain has suffered
very much, he has attended to
his mercantile and planting inter-
ests in which he has been most
successful. He says that he now
feels like new man and is pre-
pared to go into the concerns of
life with renewed activity. Mon

Congressman Love In Congress.

On the occasion of printing
.Congressman's Loves announce
ment for reelection, the Southern
Herald, published at Liberty, of
March 26, 1898, gave that gentle
mans most excellent record as
representative at Washington, and
which will, as a tribute to his SER
vices, at this particular time bear
reproduction, as follows:
As will be seen by our announce
ment this distinguished gentleman
presents himself for reelection
to Congress. 1t is unnecessary for
us to dwell on the parst services
of this gentleman during his eigh-
teen years as Senator and Repre-
sentative in our State Legislature,
where he served on nearly every
committee, finally being appoint
ed Chairman of the Finance, the
most important committee in the
Senate, or TO give a sketch or his
biographs, or to refer to his un-
swering loyalty and inesti.nable
value to the people of county, for
he was born and reared near the
county site. By no people is he
known so we'll, for his many noble
qualities of head and heart, as the
good people of Amite county. 1t
is to brief sketch of his record
in Congress that we would like to
call attention. Though a new
member, his speech on the tariff
in the early part of the extra ses-
sion attracted more than ordina-
ry attention, and calls. have been
made for it from all parts of the
country. 1t was used by Hon. j.
T.. McLaurin in his campaign for
the Senate in South Carolina last
summer, was pronounced by
Bland the best speech on the re-
port of the conference committee
on the tariff, though short, was
equally as good, being replete with
information that even now is quo.
ted in the halls of Congress.
He entered the regular session
with renewed energy and redoubl-
ed his efforts to prove himself
worthy of the trust that had been
reposed in him by his constituents
and how well he has performed
his duty can be attested by the
record. While others were en-,
joying the holiday recess, he was
on the sea coast investigating the
knotty problem of the retention
or removal of the quarantine
station, and familiarizing himself
with the situation. Finding hi:
people divided on the question ht
caused in conjunction with Sen
Walthall Congressional commit
tee to be appointed, to whom ht
referred all communications bear
ing on either phase of the ques
ton, and through their influence
the committe finally visited th.
coast, and on its return declared
unanimously in favor of the reten
ton of the station.
Being an enthusiast on the sub
| ject of progress, and justly prout
of his State, he zealously advocat

A Return to Sayagery.

The appended edltorial from
the Washington Post depicts ad-
mirably the fever situation of
central Mississippi, as follows:
We do not recall, either in ex-
perience or in reading, a more
hideous and revolving spectacle
than that presented by the State
of Mississippi today. There are
instances of communities panic
stricken by some dreadful vista
ton. There are instances of
neighborhoods ravaged by insen-
safe terror and their populations
abandoning themselves to a de-
grading superstition. But the
spectacle Of an entire Common
wealth, here at the close of the
nineteenth century, reverting to
primeval conditions, repudiating
law, obliterating government,
and civilization under foot, for
getting pity, mercy, morals and
Christianity-this spectacle has
not been even approached in the
history of modern times.
Imagine, if you can, an entire
State relegated to anarchy, its
governmental machinery destroy
ed. its Chief Executive fugitive,
it's offices closed, its functions pa
ralyzed, its people seized by a
brutal frenzy of terror, towns in
arms against one another, villages
at war with their neighbors, every
mans hand against all men, the
sick and helpless left to take care
of themselves, and the medical Of
fcials of the State actually contri-
buting to this carnaval of barbar-
ism by standing up in public pla-
ees and shrieking "Flee, flee, hide
yourselves, abandon your homes,
your courage, and your consci-
encesl" Only a few days ago
Mississippi towns were quaran-
timing themselves against the wide,
wide world. Fugitives were warn
ed off at the muzzle of a shot
gun. Railroad trains, if permit
ted to move at all, had to GO
through the State with the cars
hermetically sealed. The home
less and forlorn were hunted like
wild beasts. A stricken tramp
took refuge in a barn and was
burne,s - crisp by those who
set fire to hif hiding place. Every
sick nerson HAS criminal. Now,
.Tg;4 !, fbe af1ow fever among them
that hnoal boo of ignorance and
s,nars4;t;o,1 which laughs at cor
aops and freats shotguns as SO
many idle l.toys-now Mississippi

fuuees. to DO forth AMI seek the
mercy which she denied to every
one and TO Nave the cruel barba-
rism of which, only few days
ago, they werei ipost pitiless exem-
plars.
No word of ouars can do even
partial Justice to dhis frightful, this
inconceivable slt,eation. No such

Committee Ga member of twenty
years experience), and the oppo-
sition of the Secretary of War,
who refused to recommend it, he
succeeded in having passed
through the House a bill appropri-
ating 81, 900 for the long delayed
completion of the National ceme-
tary road at Natchez.
As 4 hard working and energetic
member of the important Com
mittee on Post Offices ,and Post
Roaps, after studious thought,
diligent research, he opposed the
extIavagant features of the more
than sos, 200, 900 appropriation as
reported by his committee, and
with zeal and persistency, worthy
of the most noble cause, fought
to the bitter end the policy of
committing the country to an al
most untried experiment, and the
appropriation of enormous sums
for furthering mail facilities in the
cities, already we'll provided for
while deaf ear was being turned
to the country at large, which was
begging for bread and being
given a stone.
In this spirited debate, and hot
ly contested fight, the unusual
honor (for a new member) was
conferred upon him of controlling
the time and leading the opposl-
tion. The battle waged fercely
for five days, and though this
champion of right and justice was
unsuccessful in some respects, he
was successful in others. Words
of praise from all sides have been
showcred upon him and some old
members have gone-so far as to
say that they have been forced
into a back seat because they had
not given due consideration to
the subject, and were Incapable
of handling it.
Previous to this debate he made
an animated speech against the
obnoxious features of the bank
ruptcy bill, opposing principally
involuntary clause, which he |
clearly demonstrated would bring
untold ills upon the South.
In addition to this he introduce
ed a number of private bills, and
is endeavoring to have them plac-
ed upon the calendar. He has
never missed a roll call, never
lodged vote, or missed a meet
ing of his Committee.
Adhering to party lines as con-
Germs the platform, and where the
principles of the party were in
volved, he has stood out bold and
independent, his vote controlled
by no one, when matters of vital
to the country were
at issue.
Such, in brief, is an account of
his doings within the Halls of
Congress. His long legislative
training has stood him in good
stead and he has been found as
ready in debate and as quick in
rejoiper as on the floor of the
Capitol of his own native State.
Insured to life of hardwork
he never flags, but arises early
and retires late.
Not wish of the humblest
citizen of his district if such there
be) goes unheeded; not a letter
unanswered. He is known at all
the departments. and by his cour-
teous department he gains infor-
nation where others might fail.
Always having the courage of his
convictions, and being naturally
conservative, he has won the good
will of his political opponents.
