THE bitter feeling existing between
Col. Dave Colson and Lieut.. Ethelbert
Scott. of the Fourth Kentucky Nolun-
teers, eliminated in free fight be-
tween the men at Admission. Ala, just
after the regiment was mustered out.
Reports of the trouble differ, but at
any rate the colonel Is lying with a
bullet hole through his thigh, while
Scott is under arrest. There seems to
have been turmoil in this regiment
ever since its organization and bitter
feeling was worked up between some
of the officers. No one knows why,
except it was Jealousy over which was
the biggest pebble on the beach. Col.
son and Scott are both clever men, but
when angered are terrOrS. 1t is hoped
the matter will he smOOthed over,
though many who know the parties
fear more trouble will result.

IT seems that Rev. George o. Barnes
has been meeting with failure on his
last appeal to Kentucky friends for
help. Rev. Barnes has number of
admirers who have stuck to him
much closer than brothers and this is
the first time he has made a water
haul. He is great preacher and a
sincere mani, but a lukewarmneSS
seems to have come over some of his
followers. There are a number of
people. however, who will yet stand by
him through thick and thin. In his
last letter to the STANFORD Journal
he says: IL don't think l shall make
any more appeals" to my friends in
Kentucky. L have learned my lesson
| will take my medicine like a good
little bOy,' and go on, loving friends
and enemies, trusting to the Lord;
and praying for those who despitefully

WHY OWL SENYIGE
Should be Applied in Local as In the
National Service.


The general apathy of the ma
iority of voters largely compris-
inc the business men who IN their
hot pursuit of the Almighty Dol
lar is the reason they pay but lit
tie attention to politics. They
hear rumors of deals being made,
vet say nothing as it may hurt
their business. and as they are not
in politics it matters but little
whether the outs get in or not.
A striking illustration of this
fact is the recent meeting at Little
Rock of the business men of
Arkansas, protesting against the
enactment of the Rector bill, while
a glance at the election returns of
that state will show this same gen
eral apathy among the voters so
largely interested. A member of
the legislature should be chosen
for his eminent qualification for
the position as are the members
of the Supreme Court, Senators,
etc. but how Is this rule usually
applied in local affairs !

A BIG WHOLESALE BUSINESS.

Very few people in Greenyllle
have any idea of the extent ana
Importance of the establishment
of III. N Alexander, and n visit to
his yard at the junction OF the
two railroads would be n surprise
as well as a genuine qualification
TO those who feel any pride or
interest in the growth and pros
perity of Greenville, us well as the
rapid aud complete success OF a
worthy man. OF course H. ~
Alexander is we'll known in the
community as a leading contrac-
tor and seller of lumber and bust
ness supplies, but most citizens
who do business with him visit
his handsome and well appointed
uptown Office near the Post Office
on Main street, and have never
seen the square of warehouses,
offices and store buildings where
his immense stock is kept. A few
years ago Mr.. Alexander purchas-
ed the square of land and build
ings near the railroad known as
the Price property, Here he went
to work, and with wonderful re-
suits. lie has built on it large
office. several smaller buildings
for the storage of such goods as
paints, oils, fixtures, fancy build
ers's materials, fine glass, iron and
tin work, and mouldings OF all
descriptions; numerous sheds for
coarser and larger materials, such
as tongued and grooyed flooring
and ceiling, planed plckets, ETC.,
ETC.; three large warehouses In
which are stored every article
which can be called for in the way
of builders materials. The va
rietv is almost endless, the guam
tity as great as can be found IN
city establishments of the same
character. Everything can be
found here in wholesale quantities
from lead and iron finals or
the finest glass doors to turned
pillars and balusters, or the cheap
est and plainest wooden doors and
dressed or rough lumber. But
the diversity of the stock is not
so much a surprise as its quantity
it is the first and only wholesale
concern of the kind In the Delta;
The goods are bought IN car load
lots. and sold at wholesale prices
which cannot be duplicated nearer
than st. Louis. As Mr.. Alex
ander says, Greenville enjoys such
advantages in freight rates because
Of its favorable situation that
goods can be brought here more
cheaply than to any other point
on the road at the same distance
from market, and this, together
with the advantage gained by pur-
chasing in car load lots, enables
him to sell at prices hitherto I'M
known for such materials in this
country,
The business is simply q big
concern, and is all that
that term implies. As an exam
pie of Mr.. Alexander's business
wisdom and enterprise may be
mentioned the fact that in the cen
ire of the lumber yard is fine reel
with $50 feet of hose, which so
much reduces his insurance as to
nave material effect on the prices
ne can afford to charge. The
'apid growth and fourishing con
liti6n of the business is Il stand
ng proof OF what can be accom-
,lis6ed in q short time by upright
