The recent experience of rowing

making a tour of the South in the hands
of an advance agent and found the
lame Pelzer on his list. He asked the
hotel clerk In Atlanta about 1t.
"Neyer heard of it, said the man
who generally knows il all.
The lecturer consulted map and
could not find It, Finally he took a
train for Greenville, where the station
agent told him Pelzer was about twenty
miles distant
"Never been there myself" he re-
marked, but I've been told it's quite a
place. Queer folks. but they're all
right"
The lecturer settled back In his seat
He believed he was in for dismal talk

that advance agent when he saw him
again. When he reached Pelzer he
thought he had made a mistake There
was a roomy well-lighted railroad sta
ton, and a gentleman who introduced
himself as the Democratic postmaster
of the city was there to meet him.
How does it look for an audience 2"
inquired the lecturer, with an anxious
eye to business.
"Oh, very good, think you will have
at least 600 persons out to hear you"
"Wh-wh-a-t? How large is your

EMPHASIZED HIS LAST WILL.

How an Old Steamboat Captain Tried
to Prevent Contest.
Il am free to admit this story sounds
trihe fishy," said q New Orleans
lawyer, chatting over an after-dinner
cigar, ''but | happen to know it is
absolutely true. Last summer u local
business man, whom 1t isn't necessary

elaborate and peculiar character. i am

to have a talk with them on that very
Subject retorted his clent.. Yes re-
piled the attorney, but when your voice
is stilled forever they may .Aink diff
ferently about it.
THAT remark set the old man to
pondering, and he finally hit on u very
picturesque expedient He had phon-
ograph at his Office. and, putting on
fresh cylinder, he roared his last in
functions into the receiver, in his most
impressive style. Then he carefully
removed the record, swathed it in cot
ton wool, and filed it away with the
will. Next day he sent for the lawyer
and gave him specific directions what
to do after the demise. L want you to
call the family together he said, and
read the will carefully from beginning
to end. AS soon as you get through and
before they have time to talk about 1t.
start the phonograph going and let 'em
hear my last message. Be sure to have
good, big horn on the machine and see
that everything is in tirst-class working
order You had better keep the thing In
your office, he continued, and any time
contest is mentioned just turn it
loose

More Light Thrown ON Roinor--Much
secrecy Observed.
A Washington special to the Kansas
City Times, says: Has Governor Cas-
sius NJ Bar~"s, Of Oklahoma, rendered
his resignah,n ss chief executive OF
the territory to the secretary Of the
interior for transmittsl to the presi-
dent9 1t Is positively affirmed by men
who are lighting him that he has done
30, or " he has not yet transmitted 1t,
it is practically ready.
No confirmation OF this report can
be secured at the interior department
II Is said by officials sa-b nothing Of
flcial has transpired, but the feeling
appears general that Governor Barnes
intends TO resign and thus save him
self from possible dismissal.
in support 0f this contention u is
said that Secretary Hitchcock has not
been persuaded by the governor that
the charges are without ground, and
that his recommendation some time
ago that Barnes be removed still stands
without change on his part.
The secrecy surrounding the case
renders IL extremely difficult TO ascer-
tain the exact status OF the case Both
Barnes and the secretary refuse absol
utely TO be interviewed Should the
rumored resignation Of Governor
Barnes prove correct, IL is believed
here that the territorial secretary
Jenkins OF oklahoma, will be appoint
ed TO succeed him. There are many
other candidates, but jenkins chances
are believed &C. be the best.
Horace Speed the newly appointed
United States attorney for Oklahoma,
Is said to have been Instructed from
Washington TO 20 thoroughly into the
charges against Barnes, and know
ledge of this action on the part OF the
government has, IL is claimed, induced
the governor 20 consider resignation
preferable TO an investigation.
That is the current story, and as
nearly the facts as IL is possible 10 get.
because of the official secrecy surround
ing the case.
