The Thriving Little City Visited
BY Press Representatives.


OF the PRESS staff left this city for
Dycusburg, the little city on the
Cumberland river, to look after
the interests of the paper in that
section. Late Friday afternoon
the gentlemen arrived at the home
OF Mr. Z. Gregory, about one mile
out of Dycusburg, The night was
spent with Mr.. Gregory. This
worthy farmer is most enter
tanning gentleman. He is we'll
acquainted the county over, and
until a late hour the .estimable
host entertained the travellers with
the most interesting anecdotes of
a somewhat historical kind, relat-
ing to Crittenden county and her
people in years that have come and
gone. Mr.. Gregory is a typical
Kentuckian, his family is typical
Kentucky family, and southern
hospitality is clearly exemplifed
in this good man and his wife.
Saturday morning the travellers
started for Dyeusburg and as they
reached the top of the large hill
just before the town is entered the
attention was attracted by large
American flag, unfurled from a
lofty staff, situate OH the bank of
the Cumberlapi and on that staff,
directly oveZ the star spangled
banner, an enormous Democratic
rooster, with head erect, and in an
attitude suggestive to the observer
that she was monarch of all he
Surveyed" stood as a sentinel to
inform the stranger that he stood
in Democratic community. The
first business firm visited was Ben
nett Bros. general merchandise es-
Enlistment. The PRESS represen-
tatives were given a warm welcome
by Mr.. Percy Cooksey, the man
ager of this business house. This
firm is doing an excellent business
under the management of so pop
ular and affable gentleman as Mr.
Cooksey.
'"The Spot Cash Store" S. II.
Cassidy q Co., proprietors, was
visited. This establishment carries
a large line of general merchan-
disc and from the amount of bust
ness done while the PRESS repre-
sentatives were in, it can be said
that this firm commands a large
patronage.
8. H. Cassidy & Co., dealers in
leaf tobacco and strips, make Dy-
ousburg their headquarters, with
factories at Kuttawa also. Their
business is very extensive.
The travellers were informed by
Mr.. John G. Griffin that he and
Mr.. w. e. Bennett would soon
have distillery in operation at
lDycusburg. Mr.. Griffin is the
proprietor of an excellent grocery
store. I.
Judge Clifton's stores do large
business, and in connection with
general merchandise he has drugs
and school books.
Another prosperous establish
ment is Yancey Bros, dry goods
and grocery store.
The Dycusburg school is -four
ishing, under the management of
Misses Helen Boyd, of Salem, and
Miss Fannie Gray, OF Marion.
Every one spoke in terms of COM
mendation of the work of the two
young lady teachers.
The venerable DIR. Graves, Dy-
cusburg's oldest physician, gave
the travellers a hearty hand shake. :

Reform Needed.
government.

When the people more fully realize
that the professional politicians are
not statesmen and seldom men of
much principle or integrity, they will
desist from placing them in positions
of trust and honor. The man who
will spend his salary in advance and
move heaven and earth to get elected
to a position, has nothing in view but
selfish aims. When one sees the
selfshness, deceitfulness and plain,
rottenness going on in politics and
fully realizes that this government
is RIM almost entirely by scheming
politicians, it makes one wonder that
we have a government at all.--Monte-
vidio Commercial. 4

ADELBERT S. HAY.

The duties which fall to the lot of
Adelbert S. Hay, the new United
States consul at Pretoria, South
Africa, will be py no means pleasant,
His post will require most constant
attention to his duties, and the
salary attached to the Office is scarce
ly adequate to meet expenses. How
ever, Mr.. Hay is fortunate in having
a private income as we'll as a great
deal of diplomatic ability. He is no
stranger to international law, and as
a son of Col. John Hay, the present
secretary Of state and former ambas-
sador to England, he has associated
with the leading spirits in the diplo-
matte as we'll as the political world.
He is thoughtful, mature and thor
oughly American, and may be de-
pended upon to carry out the instruc
tions and wishes of his home govern
ment. Mr.. Macrum, his predecessor,
had the confidence of the administra-
ton, and was discharging his duties
in perfectly satisfactory manner,
but he preferred to be relieved from
duty in South Africa. Mr.. Hay will
probably be able to conduct his af
fairs with credit to himself and our
government.

Our friends, the enemy, have
showed a tendency to make the
slaves of the Sultan of Sulu and the
polygamy of the federal offceholders
in Utah the issues for the next cam
paign. In their anxiety to throw as
persion on the administration, our
friends have forgotten to mention
that the Sultan has been persuaded
to allow all slaves to purchase their
freedom, with the intention that the
institution of slavery shall be soon
abolished throughout the oultan's-
dominions. In regard to the poly
gamous federal officehoIders in Utah,
it only remains to be said that the
subject is difficult one on which to
gain information but nevertheless it
IS being investigated and it is prepos-
;erous to suppose that any will be re-
aimed after their status becomes

A JOURNALISTIC experiment which
will interest the non Christian as well
as the Christian world will be tried at
Topeka, Kansas, for the week begin
ming March 18th. On that day, Rev,
Charles M. Sheldon. the author of
<ln His Steps," will assume control
of the editorial and business manage
ment of the Topeka Capital for the
period of one week. The sole criter
ion in Judging of the desirability of
publishing all ads and news shall be,
the answer to the question, 'What
would Jesus do?" We do not believe,
however, that the Capital will be es
sentially different than it has been in
the past and we have no doubt but
that Mr.. Sheldon will find the news
paper business from the inside to be
essentially different than it is from
the outside. No class of mon are more
the prey of renegrades or objects of
the criticism of the unthinking than
newspaper editors, neither are there
any men who will stand out for right
tin the face of all kinds of villianous
attacks, ana sacrifice more for public
inter SITS than these same men of
whom we are speaking. Yet we can
not expect just at the present time
all editors to be Christians any more
than we can expect the same of all
lawyers or all doctors. The true
ssoution of the problem is for Christ
ian folk to patronize only Christian
business men, especially where there
is no difference in the quality of ser
vice obtained.

ONE of the laws which is urgently
needed and should be passed by the
,present Congress is some law which
will give the federal courts Jurlsdlc-
ton over offenses against the sub
iects of foreign states. China had a
complaint against Wyoming but
found she must deal with the United
States. Austria mas a grievance
against Pennsylvania but found that
that government did not have and
could not have any foreign relations.
Twice Italy has suffered from the
citizens of Louisiana. The first time
the federal government acknow
lodged it's inability to punish the Of
tenders but recompensed Italy with
money indemnity. Now, in settling
for the lives of the Italians who were
Ivnched at Tulelah, louisiana, Italy
refuses to accept money indemnity
and demands the punishment OF the
offenders. She claims that as a
foreign power she can take no cog
nizauce of what our municipal laws
are regarding the authority which
shall punish certain crimes. Her
contention is right, and Congress
should see to it that the federal gov
eminent is given power to punish
those crimes for the non-punlshment
of which it must be responsible to
foreign nations. The Republicans
have several times wished to pass
such law but have been blocked by
the Democrats clinging to the Old
fiction of states rights. Now, with a
majority, the desired re-
form should be easily effected.

The Terrible took prominent part
in the bombardment of Odessa. Our
second lieutenant, Mr.. S., was not
temperate man. Before the lombard
ment began he sought for courage in
square faced bottle, and when the
drum beat to quarters he was in his
cabin in a drunken sleep, from which
he could not be awakened. AS l was
midshipman of his quarters, had to
fight his guns. In the evening, when
he came to himself, he was put under
arrest, and we midshipmen speculated
whether he would be shot or hung at
the yardarm. Either would have been
thrilling episode, but l am not sure
that his fate was not even more tragic
AS soon as the anchor was dropped

Poor S. came up at once. greatly as
tonished at the summons.
''The second gig is manned, Mr. ST."

away.
S. took the hint, stepped at once into
the boat and was landed at the nearest
shore. From that day no soul ever

The COMMITTEE of the House of
Representatives on elections has re-
ported in favor of a constitutional
provision that the states be given an
option as to whether they shall elect
their senators by the modern method
or by direct vote of the people. This
is constitutional amendment which
has been needed and will no doubt
be adopted sometime in the not far
distant future.

The official printing of Stevens
county last year cost $l69.77, while
the bill which the Times will put in
for the comparatively small amount
which it has already done will be
something like $115.OO, and before
the end of the year will doubtless
amount to three times that much.
This is the way the Times and its
allies, the commissioners look after
the interests of the 'dear people,"
