We sincerely admire the tactfulness of
the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh. He has issued
statement to the press denying re-
ceipt of a ten thousand dollar retainer and
a fifty thousand dollar contingent fee in
the case of Captain Carter. We are so
pleased with his announcement that we
have not the slightest objection to helping
him make the fact famous that, while a
great, he is also strictly philanthropic,
lawyer, and that, with him, money is no
object. Any person with a grievance. or
who is suffering from the effects of fdu-
ciary indiscretion, has only to address
Wayne MacVeagh, Philadelphia, Pa, to
secure the gratuitous services of one who
is equaled by few and excelled by none.
In the interests of all people financially
unable to command 1rst-class legal talent
in their day of necessity, exchanges will
please copy.

an Atlanta Commercial Traveller

the Habersham county farmer who killed
William Ben. the commercial traveller
from Atlanta several months ago, was shot
to death in the Jail here This morning.
About Midnight Sheriff Munday. who lives
at the jail, was awakened by a man at
his door who, when the sheriff answered
the summons. stated that he was the sher-
iff of GImer county, and that he had a
prisoner that he wanted TO have locked
up for the night. In the dark the sherin
could see nothing but three or four men
just outside the building and hurriediy
dressing, appeared at the main entrance
to the jail building. Gathered about it
were some eight or ten men, all of whom
were armed. The sheriff took them for
sheriffs. The leader of the mob stepped
forward and said Here, come here"
using name the sheriff does not recall
The man stepped forward with his hands
bound and in every way played well the
role assigned to him. AS he advanced
those around him closed in and In a few
seconds the entire crowd was inside the
jail building. Then a gun was thrown in
Sheriff Mundayis face and the keys were
demanded The, sheriff saw what was up
and remarked: 1.-The keys are down

MINGO JUNCTION., o., July 15.-
The new converting mill recently con-
structed by the Aetna-Standard here
was operated for the first time on
Wednesday. Many Of the appliances
are new and entirely different from
anything used here before, and the
start was satisfactory. Indications are
that the mill will make big tonnage
when operated to it's full capacity. The
question OF wages was settled this
week, the men being granted an aver
age of 20 per cent. advance. After the
question of wages was settled scram-
Bile of applicants took place for posi-
tons in the new MILL The company
reserved the right to put in the posi-
lions in the new mill whom they
pleased. Some old men received their
former positions, while others did not.
In the new mill there We're new jobs
and many old jobs were cut out Exca-
walton is in progress for the erection of
another big blowing engine at the fur
naces, which is a sure indication that
two and probably three new Bessemer
furnaces are to be added to the furnace

SCOTT DID IT.
West Virginia's Junior Senator is at
Least a Good Plum Tree Shaker.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, d. c., July Is
Senator Scott is responsible for the
factthat West Virginia has been given
five instead of three army appoint
ments in the latest shake down OF
military plums. When he arrived in
Washington from his return trip, he
found that three officers had been ses
lected at the instance of Senator Ell
kins. He at once called on the Presi-
dent and represented to him that this
was hardly a fair division of the pat
ronage, and requested the privilege OF
naming two additional lieutenants
from West Virginia.
The recruits from West Virginia will
be sent to Camp Meade for instruc-
lions, where they will be assigned to
the Twentyfseventh regiment, COM
manded by Col. James M. Bell, of the
First cavalry. To this same camp
will be sent the recruits from the Dis
trict of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland
North Carolina and Southern New
York. The number of enlisted men re-
quired for each regiment is 1909,
which, with so officers, makes a total
strength of 1859. The term of SER
vice is the period ending June 80, 1901,
and enlistments will be made without
regard to citizenship or educational
qualifications. AS rule, married
men will not be enlisted, and the phys
ical test will be severer than usual,
owing to the climatic conditions in the
Philippines which these soldiers must
face.
At the camp theoretical and praeti-
cal instruction will be given in organi-
cation, military administration, drill
regulations, discipline, hygiene, camp
sanitation, and in the use and care OF
rifles The appointment of non-com-
missioned regimental and company of
ficers will be made in camp, and will
be governed by the Jaw and army regu>
lations.
Col. James H Petit, who command
ed the Fourth Immunes, has received
a well-deserved compliment from the
President, in being assigned to the
command of the Thirty-first regiment,
to which the recruits from Ohb Will
be sent. The President was DESTROYS
that he should have charge OF the or
ganization of the volunteers from Ohio
which is Col. Pettit's native State, as
we'll as the Presidents.
