DEATH OF A DURHAM MAN.
Went to Richmond to Find Work but
Sickened and Died.

The Richmond Despatch prints the fol
lowing concerning the death i'll that city
of G. V. Stone, who claimed to be from
Durham, \. c.:
A young man of about 20 years. who
was a stranger here, died very suddenly
yesterday morning between $ and =
o'clock, at the boarding-house of Mrs.
Fletcher. Twentieth and Main streets.
C. V. Stone is the name he gave rs
his when "A short time ago he came to
board with .drs Fletcher, and he said he
was from Durham, y. c., and was look
ing for work. He had in his his posses
sion several letters, recommending him
highly. and really seemed a good hon
est Young fellow. Some days ago he
was taken with n fever, and for time
was quite sick, but Wednesday he got M
and walked around. Yesterday morning
he died.
Coroner Taylor was summoned, and
after viewing the remains, deemed an
inquest unnecessary, as there seemed t"
be nothink unusual about the death
The body. was taken to the City Hospi-
tai to await instructions from relatives
of the deceased as to what disposition

RICHMOND DEMOCRATS
SLY THEY WILL CARRY THE COUNTY THIS
YEAR.
The White Men Of the County are Becoming
Solid for the Party of the White man.
PopuIists and White Republicans
WiIIVote Democratic Ticket.

Governor Jarvis returned yesterday
from ElIerhce Springs, Richmond coun-
ty, where he spoke Mt Democratic
rally and barbecue.
what conditions did you find in
Richmond?" he was asked.
THE Democrats say they will carry
the county. They are certainly very
much alive. From time immemorial the
negroes Of Richmond county have been
solid. The whites are now coming to
understand that they must pursue the
same policy.
THE Republican majority in Rich
mOnd county is large-~it was something
like |. 600 ut the last clection--but despite
this everything now points to the Demo
Gratis carrying the county. The men
are very much in earnest and are hard
at work. Many, if not most of those
who have been voting the Populist
ticket for number of years hitherto.
are coming back into the Democratic
party.
THE women are no less in earnest
than the men. There were two or three
hundred ladies present ut the speaking
and there were no more interested listen
ers than they. There were five or six
hundred men present"
What did You gather from your talk
with THE people as the cause of their
earncstness?'
They begin to understand that their
very civilization and the sanctity and
interest of their homes are involved in
the success of the Democratic party
They have reached the conclusion that
this is a white mans country and that
the interests of both the white man
and the negro demand that the white
man shall govern. They also see that
the only way the white man can gov
ern is through the Democratic party.
They understand that under Demo
cratic administration the negro is a
very different being from what he is
under a Republican administration.
They are beginning to feel that it is I'M
safe to trust that party to rule that is
dominated by the negro.
'The Democrats of Richmond have
put splendid ticket in the field. They
did not ask Il man whether he wanted an
office, but simply drafted the best men
for the places. The result is n ticket
that has the confidence of every voter
in the county.
1--WE had an abundance Of dinner and
spent a delightful day. beside the good
we hope has resulted
Referring to the campaign thus far,
Governor Jarvis said. Il have never be-
fore seen campaign where all the mis-
takes were on one side. 1t is no longer
comedy. but a tragedy of errors. But
how can it be otherwise when men are
guided. as are the fusion leaders, by no
principle ut all, but are fighting merely
for the spois of Office"
Governor Jarvis said that in Richmond
some life long Republicans will vote the
Democratic ticket this year.

WHERE WORTH BAGLEY FELL
Battle-Scarred Torpedo Boat Winslow
at Norfolk

Scared and denied by the shot ana

boat Winslow, on which Worth Baglcy,
the first American TO fall in the war
with Spain, met death at CardenaS, ar
rived ut the Norfolk navy yard Thurs
day morning.
The Winslow shows everywhere, says
the Richmond Dispatch, the marks of the
terrible fire to which she was subjected
at Cardenas. The forward coming tow
er was pierced in many places by eX-
picking shells. while the bullets from
the Spanish machine guns have denied
the tower in every direction.
A patch in her side tells where shell
entered, and, exploding inside, wrecked
the boilers, but the point Of greatest in
tereSt is aft, where is located the rapid
fire gun about which Ensign Bag}cy and
his men were grouped when killed. 4
deep dent in the deck marks the spot
where the shot struck and exploded
causing the death of the young Office
and five of his men.
Not far away from the Winsiow Tho
little revenue-cutter Hudson, the rescuel
of the torpedo-boat, lies at the wharf

The Ladies' Birthday
Almanac.

The Ladies' Birthday Almanac
for 1899 is being distributed in
our town this week. This publ
cation is so different from the ordi-
nary cheap patent medicine almanac
that it has become very popular,
and now has a circulation Of l5,-
100000 copies annually. Astrono-
mer Bradford's accurate calcula-
lions showing the time the sun
rises and sets, moons phases,
eclipses, &C., DEVICES celebrated
weather forecasts'for every day in
the year indicated by unique sys-
tenn of. patent weather signals,
practical garden and farm hints for
each month and birthday proverbs
for every day, are among the best
features. All holidays and fixed
and movable festivals are promi-
nently shown. In fact, the editor
of this little almanac, who we
understand is a successful news
paper man of long experience, has
given tie public a book that will
be found valuable in any home.
Our readers who have not received
a copy of the 1899 edition, can get
it of their merchant, or by sending
their address to the Ladies' Birth
day Almanac, Chattanooga, Tenn
