Phil rrIplett's Splendid Record.


Phil Tnplett writes his father un-
der date Of the 18th that all Ii hustle
and activity in the camp of Torrey's
regiment at Jacksonville. AS clerk
OF Troop M he was very busy with
the books and muster-out roll. He
says Troop M stood good chance to
be the first troop mustered out. He
did not accept an immediate dis.
charge when offered him last week
because he was thoroughly familiar
with the work and Captain Cox
needed his assistance. That Phil is
making an enviable record as clerk
Of his troop will be seen from the
following. In his letter he says:
@The Lieutenant Colonel of the
First Texas Infantry, who is an old
army officer, inspects all the books,
rolls and papers IN their progress
He was around to Troop M this after
noon for that purpose. Captain Cox
happened to be In when the Colonel
called. First he called for the Let
ters Sent book, and then for the
Letters Received then he inspected
the Orders Council and 'Descrip-
tive Books After inspecting the
books, the Col. said: Those will
stand o. KID and without a single
correction Then he said: Now
let's see your muster-out rolls and
discharge and final statement blanks
They were shown him and he said:
Captain, who has had charge Of this
work?' The Captain pointed to me
and said: There Is the man." Then
the Colonel turned to me and said:
Young man, allow me to congratu.
late you on the thoroughness aud
correctness of this work. I have not
a single correction to make nor a
suggestion to offer. Finish them as
You have begun, and when the rolls
are sent to Washington, shall en-
dorse them with the statement that
they were prepared by young man
who never had any previous exper-
fence, giving your name. 1t will
greatly help you should you ever ap.
ply for government position" With
that he was up and gone" 49,
This is splendid compliment to
Phil and no wonder that 1T greatly
pleased him and that ha felt raDaid
for all the labor and study he had
put upon his work. Pills many
friends here will be pleased to hear
Of his splendid record.

The People of Porto Rico.

According to recent statistics, the
population Of Porto Rico is 9O6,7O8
or about one-half that Of Cuba, one
twelfth that Of tho PHILIPPINE Islands,
and almost eight times that OF Ha-
waii. Oh less than one-ninth the ter
1tory. Porto Rico supports 100000
more people than the State of Maine.
Or this population 480,267 are whites
and 326, AL colored, the latter com
prislng 77,751 negroes and 248,6YO
mulattoes. This is considerably
better showing than IN the Philip
pine islands, where the bulk of the
population is of the Malay and mixed
races, but somewhat worse than in
Cuba, where only about 81 per cent
of the people are co!ored, as against
40 per cent in Porto Rico. In Ha-
wall 81 per GENT Of the people are
natives, Mongolians and of mixed
races; only - per cent are white.

Mr.. Choate's candidacy has been

PineEiIle Democrat.

| Pinevlle Democrat
We are not much on the snake
atorv business, but on last Friday
evening we, with perhaps fifty 9th
ers in Pineville, saw sight almost
incredible. For some months past
the hens nests on the premises of }
Y Tay.or, on Little Sugar creek,
have been systematically robbed
Early in May the owner placed in
the nests with the shank end down,
white door knobs for uest eggs.
Soon these began to disappear from
the nests, being found some distance
away, but one disappeared entirely.
Last Friday Mr.. Taylor's boys were
out hunting aud the dog freed big
blacksnake about a quarter Of a mile
from the house and Jay shot it. 1t
looked queer to the boys, and on ex-
animation they found it had swal-
lowed the missing door knob, and
that the shank had worked cut
through the side Of the reptile after
passing back just two feet from the
head. The snake was FIVE feet long,
aud had swallowed the knob in May.
How it lived with this hard sub
stance in it's intestines, and especial
~ after the iron shank had worked
out through the side of its body, IS
a mystery that we are not spakeolo-
gist enough to solve.
