SUMMARY.

Total .................. S4O6 33
By the above it will be noticed that
eight unions have been organized at a
total cost of $4658, and an average cost
of 1886. @s
Three additional unions have also
been formed without any cost whatever
to the federation.
The receipts indicate that not a few
of the affiliated unions are derelict in
their duty. The payments made to date
represent scarcely 1000, when it should
be 10000. VIM. E. MCEwEN,

AT PRINCETON.
Goebel Given an Ovation In Spite
of the Intense Heat.
Bill Jones collided With a Goebel
rIan-A Big Crowd Was
In Attendance.

Princeton, KY, Sept. 7.-At
Princeton, the capital of Caldwell
county, county which gave the
last Republican nominee for Gov
ernor a majority and which is sup
posed to be the seat of much disaf-
lection, at least 1920 people, many
of them farmers and many whose
heads are gray, listened yesterday
to Senator Goebel tell why he be-
lieved he should be elected Cover
nor of Kentucky. The farmers
came to town in spite of the fact
that the weather was almost intol-
erably hot and that their crops
needed attention.
Senator Goebel and ex-senator
Blackburn must have been well
pleased with their welcome. Their
room was full in the morning until
the crowd grew too great and then
they went down stairs to see others
who were anxious to meet them.
They were cheered when they ap-
peared on the platform and fire.
quently during their speeches.
Senator Goebel was complimented
highly at the conclusion of his
speech. He was given a big box of
flowers by the ladies of Princeton,
the presentation speech being made
by Ward Headley in answer to the
attack made on Mr.. Goebel's
mother by Theodore Hallam. An
other box of flowers was given on
behalf of the German citizens by
the Rev. w. S. Payne, a minister
of the Christian church. A box of
flowers was also given to EX-Sena-
tor Blackburn by Mr.. Bennett Hen
derson. Those. who are in charge
of the Democratic campaign here
believe that the disaffection in
Caldwell county is growing less
each day. They estimate that
not more than 200 to 800 are against
Senator Goebel, and believe this
number will be considerably re-
duced by November. Senator Goe-
bel in answer to a question from a
man in the crowd denied in the
most emphatic terms that he would
withdraw, and laughed at the re-
port which he said had been start
ed more than once by those who
wanted him to withdraw. He said
he was not the kind of a man to go
into fight and then give it up be-
fore it was finished.
During the speaking J. T. Cole
man and w. J. Jones, a Brown man,
had a fight in the room back of the
stand. Jones was badly used up
about the face. He called Coleman
a liar. Several Democrats from
this city went down to hear the
speaking.
Senator Goebel and Mr.. Black
burn spoke at Paducah at night, at
Morgan6eld yesterday and will be
at Henderson to-day and Cloverport
tonight. Capt. w. T. Ellis will
also speak at Cloverport.

HARRY McCHESNEY.
Makes a Rafting Speech Mon.
day Night.
Judge TomIinson, of Alabama,
Returns Home Wednes-
day Night.

Prof. Harry V. McChesney, the
able young Democratic nominee for
Superintendent of Instruction
spoke at the Court House Monday
night to a crowd of $50 voters.
He was introduced by Mr.. Geo.
F.. Campbell, who spoke tor fifteen
minutes and made his debut as a
political stump speaker in a way
that greatly pleased his friends.
Mr.. Campbell has fine voice, easy
command of words and fund of
auecdote that caused him to make
quite hit in his first discussion of
state issues. Mr.. Campbell's tai
ents should be utilized on the stump
by the campaign committee.
Mr.. McChesney is fine cam
paigner. He says he is not speak
er at all-only talker-but he
talks in a way that not only enter
tains but convInces his hearers.
He devoted much attention to the
proposed school book measure to
cheaper the school books in Ken
lucky. He exhibited a copy of
Montgomery's History, published
by CHM & Co., and sold in Indiana
by contract at 65 cents, the price
stamped on the back. He also ex-
hiblted copy of the same book
bought in Kentucky at 81, which
was an exact duplicate. The books
were bought in New Albany and
Louisville the same day. The same
book is for sale in this city at SIPS,
nearly double the price it is sold at
in Indiana where the law fixes the
price. Mr.. McChesney offered to
eat both books if any Republican in
the audience could detect any diff
ference between them.
HIS whole speech abounded in
telling points and many OF them
were unanswerable. He charged,
and proved by the records, that the
per capita has been S1.80 less in
four years than it was under Dem
ocratic rule. This falling off
amounts to ST, 256, 900, the loss fall
ing upon the hard-worked teachers
of the state. The loss to the teach
ers of Christian county last year
was $4,000, which amount was held
back and carried over to this year
to increase the per capita in the
campaign year, which is still only
S2.70 as against $3.50 in 1895 when
the Democrats were last in control.
His "talk" did a great deal of
good.
Mr.. McChesney and Hon. Jno. w.
Tomlinson, of Alabama, went to
Cadiz Tuesday and to Elkton We'd
nesday. At both places they had
good crowds and made telling
speeches.
Mr.. McChesney returned here
Wednesday night and reports that
the situation is greatly improved in
Todd county. Well posted politi-
clans say there are not now more
than 100 boilers in the county.
Mr.. Tomlinson returned to Bir-
Wednesday night, having
filled his three appointments in
Kentucky. He is an able lawyer
and a polished speaker, who is
thoroughly posted on national
issues.

MOVING BOXTOWN.
The Twenty Mercer Cabins Be.
ing Sold and Moved.
Seven of Them Sold For Removal
to a Lot Adjoining the Va. st.
Public School.

Since the 20 box cabins put up in
Mercer Park and generally known
as ''Boxtown" have been taken out
of the Democratic Seventh ward,
they are no longer useful for poll
teal purposes and they are being
sold for $50 apiece, although they
cost 500. Several have been
bought by residents in the ward
and moved into their back yards
for servants quarters.
Yesterday Mr.. Torian, the con-
tractor, applied for permission to
move seven of them across the stone
bridge, saying he had contracted
with Mrs. ]. p. Thomas to locate
them on her lot adjoining the Vlr-
ginia Street Public School, on
South Virginia street.
Superintendent Twyman refused
to grant the permit to block the
only street to the Western part of
the city, upon the ground that it
would cut the people off from fire
protection while the bridge was
blockaded several hours.
Mr.. Torian had already brought
one of the cabins to the Tabernacle,
but changed his plan and located
it on lot for Mr.. E. P. Fears, on
Jesup avenue, who had bought one
of them. The matter was laid be-
fore Mayor Dabney who sustained
the street superintendent and the
cabins cannot be moved without a
special permit from the council.
Investigation shows that no per-
mits have been obtained for the
erection of the cabins in the portion
of the city to which they were to be
taken. The lot adjoins the hand
some lot upon which the white pub
lie school building is located, and is
in section of the city containing
very few negroes. Mrs. Thomas
applied to Councilman Wall Wednes-
day for permission to open a street
in the northern side of the public
school property from Virginia
street, but he explained that it was
matter the city could not control,
as the school owned the land.
Mr.. J. D. Russell, formerly a men,
Der and for years the President of
the School Board, during whose en-
cumbency the school lot was pur-
chased, says the School Board will
not permit street to be opened
through the grounds.
1t is furthermore doubtful if the
Building Committee of the Council,
composed of Messrs Dalton, Tibbs
and Ware, will give permits for the
building of such a settlement in a
fashionable residence portion OF the
city.
The houses are rough box cabins,
built from second hand lumber for
merly used in the grand stand at
Mercer Park. 1t is not believed
that they could be rented to de-
sirable class of tenants.
Some of them would front on ivy
man street and others, it is sup
posed, would face the alley sought
to be opened next to the school lot.
The residents of the vicinity are
overwhelming the city officials with
protests and the matter will prob
ably be taken before the council as
a body if building permits are APP
piled for.
The proposed settlement would
be in the Sixth Ward.

DIED AT THE DEPOT.
Stephen Low Wanted to Go Home
to Die.

Stephen Low, colored, died on the depot
platform about 80 o'clock last Friday morn
ing. The death was reported to Coroner
Noses, who iostituted aa investigation and
ascertained the following facts
Low had been sick with typho-malarial fever
for several weeks and last Thursday was in 8
critical condition. His father, Caesar Low,
came over.from Dovesvilia, Darlington conn-
ty, and as the sick man wished to 60 home,
be asked Dr.. Rnrney, the attending physi-
clan, if Stephen could be carried home to
Doyesviile. Dr.. Bnrney told him that
Stephen could not be moved, that he was too
sick to stand the trip aud it would be dam
gerous to do go. Nevertheless Caesar Low de-
cided TO take his son home and Friday morn
iug had bin carried to the depot to take the
o'clock train. While waiting for the train
Stephen became worse and died on the plat
form. Dr.. BurBey issued certificate giving
typho.malarial fever as the cause of death,
aud on this burial certificate was issued.

Low Fre1gbts Help Farmers. )

Mr. Editor II is frequently said that the
Railroad Commissioners have done nothing
bat draw with regularity their salaries l
don't concur In this view. They have done
much to eq1alize and moderate the carrier
charges Without going into particulars !
wish simply to draw attention to the fact
that they have done much for the farmers by
the recent reduction in the freight rate on
cottoo.
It is due to this reduction that today the
cotton mills Of toe Piedmont section can and
do buy in Sumter aud other points in middle
aud lower Carolina. Until this reduction in
freight went into operation the mills could
not buy in this territory. Immediately efter
the new rate went iato effect orders for cotton
were received and executed here Thus a
demand from new source was established
aud competition sprapg up which was sharp
and determined, the result has been that cot
ton has been osingipg neatly the same prices
10 Sumter as in New York, and actually
higher than at the ports.
The increased price is of direct value to
the farmer and he gets the full benefit Of the
reduced freight rate aud also oe the competi.
tiou which has followed.
1t vast stated that the reduction in freight
would operate to the advantage of the cotton
mills. and that the producer would not reap
the benefit. This has not been the case. The
producer has received the benefit of all the
reduction. BE receives here the price which
the mills pay at their doors, less the freight.
This should be an object lesson for every
nthoghtful business man in this community.
II, by reduction in freight, higher prices
for cotton have been obtained, how great
would be the increase 10 prices if the mills
were at our doors, in our very midst, without
any freight rate to combat Aud incidental
" let me add that the increased price of cot
ton is but one of many advantages that
would result from the establishment of mills
IN every locality. For everything that can
be grown Oh our lands (and what is there
that cannot be grown here y we would have
steady and sure market. With that condi-
ton "a market for all our products) we could
successfully raise cotton at Eve cents : our
lands would have marketable value at all
times, and there would be healthy end re-.
numera'ive return for energetic and enter
prising management. But I have digressed
fron the original purpose Of this communica.
,ion which was simply to call attention to
the fact that the reduction in the cotton rate
has been of great advantage to the farmers
aod that they recognize and appreciate the
action of the railroad commissioners
