Shot in the Arm.
On last Tursday Constable Poole

/ On last Tursday Constable Poole
went out to the plantation of Mr..
j. N. Wright to arrest q negro for
violation of labor contract. The
negro attempted to run and was
shot in the arm by the con stable.
The negro was taken before
Magistrate Drummond and found
"not guilty. In this case we have
an officer of the law who should
be punished. Is human life 80
cheap that for the supposed break
ing of q labor contract q man call
be shot down with IMMUNITY as 9
homeless cur? It is an outrage
against Justice for al officer of the
law to shoot fellow man down
because he observes a first law
of nature. Constable Pool is not
fit for the Office he holds. He
should be made to pay the full
penalty of the law for his crime
The pistol is entirely too handy
and it's indiscriminate use shoulo
be stopped.--Laueens County

Our Jass "Crammed it Down his
Rotten Throat" s35aas

AT Washington on Friday last,
in the House, private pension bills
as usual on Fridays, were up fol
consideration. 2
|. Mr.. Talbert of South Carolina
sent to the clerks desk and had
read some letters from old soldiers
in various parts of the country
protesting against the special act
"ground out by the congressional
bureau" One of them said the
old soldiers were very "sore." Mr..
Talbert said the letters read were
simply samples of hundreds he
had received. Later on Mr..
Talbert, who was demanding the
reading of the report in each case
and who several times made points
of no quorm, became involved, ~
a controversy with Mr.. Shattuc OF
Ohio, who expressed the opinion
that opposition to pensions came
with illgrace from fromer Con-
fcderate soldier. Mr.. Siblsy of
Pennsylvanla said a simple
calculation would show that it
cost $4,000 a day for a session of
the touse or $1,000 an hour, Time
frittered away by Mr. Talbert since
he came to congress, he said, would
more that pay all the special PEN
sion bills passed during that
period.
Mr.. Norton of Ohio protested
against Mr.. Talbert's course. If
he found an unjust bill and could
demonstrate that it was unjust he,
(Norton), and many members on
the floor would join him in dcfeat-
ing it. He appealed to Mr.. ,Talbert
to abandon his opposition.
Mr.. Lamb of Virginia joined
in the appeal, and his remarks
drew forth a scathing denunciation
from Mr.. Talbert. He said that
the trouble was the gentleman
from Virginia had claims before
the house he desired to get through.
The same was true of other
gentlemen. 1t was q :log-rolling
combine. They dared not fight
these unjust pension: billa. as |3he
was doing. When he went into
the Confederate army, he said,
be and his had staked everythjne
and had lost it. They. were not
passing the hat around now.
Mr.. Fordney attacked Mr.
Talbert little later. He said
that when Mr.. Talbert said he
was a friend of the soldier he
would not believe him on oath.
Mr.. Talbert with great aho2
of wrath replied that when tht
gentleman imputed untruthfulnesl
to him he hurled it back, ant
"crammed it down his rottel
throat" He grew 30 excited tina
the chair was obliged to call hin
to order. When quiet bad beer
restored Mr.. Fordney raised q roa
of laughter by remarking quietly;
"I believe in the Biblical promise
that we shall be born again.
hope to God that when MI
Talbert's time time comes he vii
be stillborn."

China has become SO serious that he feels
that he should be at his post OF duty ready
for business when tho Government needs
his services.
He said that China Is In immediate danger
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and that the Partition
OF the Empire can be prevented only by the
United States.
The situation at this time Is critical"
said he, and recalls TO my mind the pre-
diction made by a man whose name / do
not recall. to the effect that before the end
war In the history OF the world, and one
that will change the map Of the world II
the Powers attempt the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
China. the United States Government will
