Mrs. Geo. w. Smith had a painful
wound inflicted upon her right hand
by thrusting large splinter through
the fleshy portion of the middle finger
while throwing a stick at an annoying
goose which came into the yard with
out permission. The wound is very
painful and required a physician to
remove the silver. We sympathiZe
with our good neighbor, and hope she
may soon recover, so we can ask her
"what became of the goose?"
Mr.. William Keithly, residing in
Franklin county, is the honored guest
of Prof. Girault They were army
chums, serving together nearly four
years in Company *" 1st Mississippi
Light Artillery. c. S. A, In fighting
some of the old battles over, notably
the siege of Port Hudson, it is of
local interest to remember, that
during the bombardment by Faragut's
fleet tFeb. 14th, 1863, the most beau
tiful vessel of this fleet was named
THE Mississippi and commanded by
Commodore Dewey, now doing service
at Manila. The Mississippi" was
totally destroyed at 10 o'clock p. M. on
the above named day, being burned by
the Rebels hot-shot batteries. Dewey,
with portion of his crew, saved their
lives by swimming ashore, west of
Port Hudson. Five of the crew swan
to the Rebel garrison and were cap
tured. We met Faragut's feet a
second time april, 1861, at Spanish
Fort and Blakely, opposite Mobile.
Whether Commodore Dewey was in
this last engagement or not we are I'M
able to say. The above is simply fight
by two old comrades. Old soldiers do
not understand how General Otis
fights such fierce battles now: having
only seven killed and forty wounded

FROM EDGAR.
Especial Correspondence.l

Now since the Democratic Executive
Committee has ordered double
white Democratic Primary Election
for the purpose of nominating Demo
cratic candidates for the various
offices. and it is still dry and dusty, 1
have concluded to report some nap
penings from this section OF our
county.
Now be it known that Edgar is not
city, town or village; it is Post once
on Topisaw creek at the residence OF
w. G. Summers. Miss S. Z. Summers
is postmaster here. They have q nice
little office arranged adjoining the
J. P.'s office with a sign-board out for
business. In the radius of about one
mile there are about sixteen white and
eight negro families residing, with
some splendid farms, and outside OF
this circle will average fully up to the
sample; and besides the residences in
this territory there are the Topisaw
Baptist Church (white) and the Topi-
saw Baptist Church (colored), the Top
isaw Masonic Lodge near the white
Baptist Church, with a well cared for
grave yard, and the voting Precinct
(McLendon's) established there. And
in the same territory is the Topisaw
Public School Building, the Grist Mill
and Gin belonging to A. M. Summers,
with other things too numerous to be
mentioned here. The keystone Log
Railroad bounds us on the north, the
medium by which through the except
ional cleverness of the Keystone
Lumber Company, we have our Fertil-
lizer delivered and our cotton shipped.
We also have few local candidates
for office in this section, and room for
more, and one negro Baptist Preacher,
Rev. G.. l.. Hutching, but no Lawyer or
Doctor, though we borrow one occa-
sionally as best we can. We seriously
need a white Baptist Preacher and

Death of Rev. L. w. East.

Rev. /. w. East died at his home in
this city last Sunday afternoon after a
brief illness. He was attacked with
cholera morbus Friday night, which
eliminated in congestion of the
stomach, producing death at the time
stated. Few of his friends and kind
red knew of his illness until the fatal
result was announced. For the last
few years Mr.. East had served as
justice of the peace in this district and
by his conscientious and faithful dis
charge of his official duties, gave gen
eral satisfaction. He was best known
in the county as a Baptist minister,
having attended Mississippi College
and followed that calling several years
ago. He leaves a wife, two grown
daughters and one son, who have the
heartfelt sympathy of the community
in their sad bereavement. The funeral
took place from the family residence
late Monday afternoon, Rev. j.. j..
Green officiating, who paid feeling

NEW STEEL COMBINE.
Billet Manufacturers Plan 10 Pool
Their Interests.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-A new trust" in
yolving the consolidation of important
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana plants
manufacturing more exclusively ''bil-
let" steel and tin plate bars Is said
to have been planned at meeting of
representative mill owners which was
held here Friday. William II. Moore,
of Chicago. who was the moving spirit
in the recent American tin plate deal,
is credited with the promotion of the
steel negotiations, though tin plate
interests are said in no way to dOmi-
nate the new combination.
The consolidated companies, IT is
said. are not to he regarded, from the
exclusive nature of their product, as
direct competitors of either the Fed
eral or Carnegie steel companies,
though in some quarters the. opinion
is current that once the combination
of ''bllet" mills is effecred it's absorp-
O natural and not improbable step.
The proposed consolidation includes
plants that furnish a very extensive
percentage of the raw material con-
sumed by 'merchant mills Myron

FROM MANILA TO SPAIN.
Uncle Sam VIII Pay for the Transport
tatIon of 5000 Spanish Prisoners.

Washington, Jan. 21.-One of the
articles of the treaty of Paris provided
that the United States government
should carry back ITO Spain the Span
ish prisoners of war in the Philippines
and that the United States should un-
dertake this task without awaiting
the ratification of the treaty.
The undertaking in the case Of the
Philippine prisoners is larger than the
Santiago problem because the distance
of transportation is nearly three times
as great. The quartermaster general s
department has issued advertisements
calling for proposals for the transpor-
tation desired; the prisoners to be TIA
ken up at Manila or the most convent
ent port in the Philippines and land
ed at Cadiz or some other Spanish
port. The conditions are set out by
the department in the advertisement,
as follows:
"rhcir number is estimated at about
10000 men. Cabin accommodations
are to be supplied for the officers and
'third-class or steerage accommoda-
tions having suitable galley accom-
modatons for the enlisted men. The
United States government will deliver
the prisoners on hoard the vessels at
Manila or such other ports as may be
designated for their embarkation."

inducted into the Office of lieutenant
governor. The inaugural procession
was one of the most imposing ever

The inaugural ceremonies took place
on the west side of the Capitol in the
presence of the members of the gener-
al assembly, state officials and numer-
Gus other spectators. Col. Stone was
greeted with applause as he stepped
to the front of the platform to deliver
the inaugural address.
Gov. Stone said that what the state
needed at this time was more of a bus
mess administration than a political
one. Legislation should be confined to
clear and admitted wants, and should
not be speculative nor adventursome.

Great Ha rd ships.

Havana, Jan. 20.-The American
board of pardons has recommended
the release from Jail of seven men
who have been confined here without
trial since 1897, for the alleged rob-
berry from a safe of funds belonging
to the navy paymaster for San Juan,
Porto Rico. The prisoners declare
and information from San Juan tends
TO sustain them, that the alleged rob-
berry was a plot upon the part of Span
ish officials to cover up their Delinquent
cy and to obtain sCalpegoats for the
Spanish paymaster at San Juan, who,
it is asserted, was probably a party to
the dishonesty in appropriating the
funds.
Following the disappearance of the
money at San Juan some 200 suspects
were arrested and tlhey were all re-
leased except seven, who were tor
tured for the purpose of obtaining a
confession and were shipped to Ha-
vana in March. 1897. They now show
the effects of the torture upon them.
The board of pardOns examined
many other prisoners and has recon-
mended to Gen. Brooke the release of
CT who are in confinement.
