personal and business reasons One Of
the reasons given by Mr.. Godwin's
friends as accounting for his position
was that his nomination for mayor would
injure his chances for being elected del
egate to the Democratic national con-
vention. This, they say, was his priv
ilege.
An interesting fact In connection with
the approaching contest between the

WHEELER MAY RUN.

A Report that he Is Likoly to Seek Re-
Election to Congress.
Atlanta, Ga.-The Journals Wash
lngton correspondent sends the follow
Ing to his paper:
Gen. Joe Wheeler is preparing a
statement which he will issue to his
constituents within few days in the
eighth Alabama district telling them
whether or not he will be candidate
for reelection to congress. 1t Is quite
likely that the general may be induced
to again seek this honor at the hands
of his friends there.
In speaking Of the matter Gen.
Wheeler left the impression that the
chances were that he would be can
didate, although he did not state posi-
lively that such was the case. He
stated that he had not thought Of run
ming again, but that he had received
number OF letters from many people
in his district urging him to make
the race. den. Wheeler stated fur
thermore that the matter Of his de-
cision, even If delayed few days
would not make much difference be-
cause the nominating convention does
not meet in his district until August.
1t appears probable that the general
may enter the race. provided he:does moi
have to antagonize old friends.

DEWEY AT ST. LOUIS.
A Grand Ovation Givcn the Admiral at st

a Grand Ovation Givcn the Admiral at st
st. Louis.-Ten thousand Sunday
school children, waving 10, 900 Amerl-
can flags, cheered and sang sacred and
patriotic songs in honor of Admiral
George Dewey at the public reception
at the exposition building Friday.
The song service which was the last
of series of luncheops and informal
receptions, took up the time of Ad-
miral Dewey and Mrs. Dswey from
early in the day till late Friday after
noon at public reception given in the
big building In which, four years ago,
President Mckinley was nominated,
and was attended by an audience of
fully 30, 900, that packed the edifice to
suffocation, while thousands of others,
denied admittance, filed for blocks the
streets leading to the building.
At the conclusion of the songs,
Chairman w. II. Mclean, leading the
two little children of Bandmaster Buff
ano, pressed through the crowd.
I'm behalf of the children OF st.
LOUIS" he said. II wish to present to
you this silk flag and to Mrs. Dewey
these songs"
The youngsters, flushed and smiling,
stepped forward and gave to the ad-
miral silk flag with the words and
music of "On Land and Sea" printed
thereon, and to Mrs. Dewey portfolio
of the songs of the children printed on
white silk. Then the admiral surren-
dered. Taking the children in his arms
he kissed them heartily and thanked
them, while the thousands OF less for
tunate youngsters looked on and In
shrill voices yelled their delight. Two
more songs, "Columbia" and "Dixie, !"
brought the admiral to attention and
started the cheering again.
The last and most notable Of the
social features in connection with
the two days celebration occurred
Friday night, when u banquet was
given at the Planters hotel in honor
of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey and a
magnificent silver punch bowl, the gift
of the citizens of st Louis, was pre-
sented to the admiral. The banquet
was one of the most elaborate ever
given here.

PREACHER USED HIS UN.

W. t. Bellinger Killed by Rev. e. johnson,
Probably In self-Defense.
Charleston, 8 C.-One Of the most
sensational homicides in the history Of
Bamberg, this state, occurred Friday
when Rev. E. Johnson, pastor OF the
Baptist church, shot and almost In
stsntly killed W. T. Bellinger. steno-
grapher of this Judicial district.
Trouble between the two began the
day before over the painting OF a
fence between the premises of John
r. Bellinger, father of the deceased,
and the Baptist parsonage Friday
morning Belilnger met Rev. johnson,
who was armed wit double barrell-
cd shotgun, few words passed, which
led to firing BY both parties. When as
sistance arrived Bellinger was dying.
After the shooting Rev. johnson
walked into his house, and about /
o'clock surrendered to Sheriff Hunter.
Who shot first Is not known, but 1t is
generally claimed that Rev. johnson
only shot once. Belllnger's pistol had
four empty chambers.
The families connected with the
affair are OF the most influential in
town.
