and Tuesday afternoon he had on hand
the sum above mentioned. He placed
this in an inside pocket of his coat.
Shortly after supper a little negro
VINO lives on the place told Colont1
Chapman that a man said Mrs, Tison
wished to see him at once. The bow
says that he was at the lot when the
man gave him the message. Mrs.
Ilson lives on the edge of the city, and
the nearest way for Colonel Chairman
TO go led through small BODY of
WOODS not far from his house. Scarce
~ mad he entered the woods when a
man with shiny pistol ordered him
to halt. He halted. Another man
stepped up about this time and pro-
ceeded to go through the. lawy er's
pockets. The money in the coat pock
ct was taken at once, together with
some notes anc accounts, but not so
small New York exchange. He had
leather string attached to his watch.
This the robber cut and transferred tbs
timepiece to his own pocket. Col~
onel Chapman says they did not search
any of his other pockets.
AS soon as the robbers let him go
the lawyer made tracks for home and
reported his loss, Searching parties
secured the woods and looked around
town for the robbers, but no trace of
the bold, bad men has been discovered
Colonel Chapman thinks the men
were white; they wore no masks, and
their faces were not familiar.
Some features of the affair indicate
that the robbers were too we'll

the robbery was the work of "home

RAYS MEN COMING HOME.
The Dawson 'Immunes" WIN soon Leave
Cuba.

Colonel Rays Third Regiment of I'm
munes is to return from Cuba within The
nexU thirty days and fresh troops are to
be sent to take their place.
The change is made because the de-
partment feels that this regiment of
Georgians, having borne the brunt of
hard service during the summer months,
is entitled to come home and recdberate.
The opinion is expressed about the war
department that this means the muster
out of the regiment, but those who are
familiar with the way in which those
things are worked say this would de-
pend very largely, if not altogether, up
on the wishes of che man in command,
for they recognize the influence which
Colonel Ray can command both at the
White House and at the war department.

A Nation of SycOphants.

The following paragraph is from the
New Orleans States: "The Incapacity
of and corruption in the war depart
ment have brought down anathemas
upon Algier and his subordinates, and
yet Mckinley, the very head and front
of the offending, is permitted to go
Scot free. He appointed, for his own
personal political ends, a discredlted
soldier to the position of war secretary
against strong protest, and retained
him there in face of the damning evI-
dence of his incOmpetency, if not bare
faced rascality. Nevertheless, when
the press of the entire country was de-
nOuncing the creature, Alger, little or
no censure was passed upon the crea-
tor, Mckinley; and this because the
latter is the dispenser of vast patron
age. In truth, we have become a ma
ton of sycOphants and bootli cks'"
