some of his wealth down town, and it is

sfterward assaulted when within few steps

severely, struck him several times over the

to the ground. Mr.. Straub cried Murder"

The regiment, l, 22O strong, LETT Middleton

Union station. Mr.. Alexander Helper, prest-

responded TO by Col. Lane. This was, how
ever, Of but little import In the eye of the sol
der The greetings from mothers, sisters,
wives and swecthcarts was worth more than
all tue ceremony imaginable.
The entire regiment were detained at the
station FOR about half an hour, and as the
greater number Of the boys were from the
counties, there was a large proportion or the
welcoming crowd from the rural districts.
The soldiers were given the frcedo!i Vi the
platform, and The sight was one that gladden.
cd many a heart. Cordial and atflctioEate
salutations were the orGer Of the day. and the
rnapy Hobsopiau salutes which were passed
between the uniformed LADS aud the proyersi-
ally sweet and handsome iassles OF MY Maly-
land,n were enough to make civilian Turn
green with envy. In fact the civilian. no
matter how tony or Gashing he may be at
other times, was simply "not in H." Inc
uniform had its day, and most memorable
day it was.
Nor did the welcoming committee, ard IL
seemed us il the whole community had re-
solved itself into a committee OF the whole on
the welcoming business, come empty Near
" all OF the visitors bore with them packages
containing something nice" for the loved
ones with whom few minutes converse was
worth travelling miles to enjoy. The bareback

of the regiment, was seized upon as trophies
and carried off in triumph by the girls, but It

would reach Augusta on Sunday morning.

Washington letter.

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGToE, Nov. 14.-Mr. Mckinley has
been getting some very bad advice concerning
the recent race trouble in North and South
Carolina, but he has been wise enough not to
accept it. or at least not to try to carry it out.
These unwise advisers have been trying to get
ar Mckinley to order Fedora troop into both
OF these States, although no requ' ST for troops
has been received from the Governor Of either.
II nas been told that the same section of the
L. 5 Revised Statutes under which President
Cleveland sent Federal troops into Illinois,
during tine railroad riots, gave him the author
ity to do regardless OF the regularly cOnsti-
tutcd authorities OF the States. He has done
nothing further than to countenance the semi
official sta ement that if any Federal official i'll
either State was interfered with, a force of
Deputy U. s. Marshals would be used to protect
them, and in case of their inability to do 5. ,
| that they would be reinforced by Federal
| troops. Some of the men ordered out of both
| States, among them white postmaster
| from South Carolina, are in Washington, try
| ing to pose as martyrs, and to persuade Mr.
| Mckinley to get mixed up in their quarrel; but
| every one of them would gladly compromise
| by accepting an appointment in Washington.
| There may be Democrats who are dOwncast
| over the result of the election, but il so, they
| haven't been seen. All those who are talking
on the subject express the opinion that III.
party made a splendid showing under the cir
| cujnstnnves, and that reducing the Republican
| ajarty ia the IL louise almost to The vanishing
| point, cats the Democrats in letter position
to inase II winning fight i'll 1900 Than they
wouid have been had they c. ptured the mex
| House. With both branches Of Congress il
| their nauds, the Republicans will be certain e
make lots of good Democratic campaign ma
terial in the next two years.

| other Mckinley boomers TO jolly Teddy
| Roosevelt INTO supporting the claims IF Mr.
| Mckinley for denomination in 1900, by promis
| ing him that they will support him in 1904

fair grounds Next to the recent visit of the
Druid Athletic eleven, it will be the society

itself should be decidedly more interesting.
The Guilford team has had L most successful
season and like Bel Air has suffered but one
defeat in the past three years, therefore each
team is equally as anxious to maintain its
good record. Captain Rosan will have out
the strongest team for this game that has ever
worn the Red and White, and there is every
indication that the Gui!fords will be beaten
after one Of the closest and most exciting
struggles ever seen in this vicinity. The
| game will be called at $50 O'Clock in the
! afternoon, and being holiday, large con-
course of people is expected to be present.
The officers OF the Bel Air Athletic clut
felt compelled to cancel their game with the
| Cliftou's for last Saturday on account of 1
death in the town. This action 10 doub
caused some disappointment to the out-of
town people, but they are promised a gooC
