NO THIRD TERM.
President Puts an End to Political
Bugbear.

dug
The following statement, signed by
President Mckinley, has been given to
the press by Secretary Cortelyou:
II regret that the suggestion of a
third term has been made. l doubt
whether am called upon to give it no.
tice. But there are now questions of
the gravest Importance before the ad
ministration and the country, and their
just consideration should not be preju
diced in the public mind by even the.
suspicion of the thought of a thirG
term
I'm view, therefore, of the reiteratioD
of the suggestion of it l will say now
once for all, that 1 not only am moi
and will not be candidate for thrd
term, but would not accept a nomina
ton for it if it were rendered me.
"My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the accept
| ance of my countrymen, whose gener
GUS confidence 1 so deeply appreciate,
and then, with them, to do my duty in
the ranks of private citizenship"
The assertion made by Representa-
tive Grosvenor, who has always been
designated as the "mouthpiece' of the
administration on the floor of the
house, that the time is now ripe for
Mr.. Mckinley to nullify an unbroken
line of precedents by becoming his own
successor, was the immediate cause of
action being taken at this time,
The agitation of the third term ques-
ton by Senator Depew and other
friends was disquieting to the presi-
dent, but he believed that the subject
would soon be dropped. The addition
of General Grosvenor to the list of
third term advocates produced con
viction that immediate negative action
should be taken

WHITE CAPS BURN A CHURCH
Claim That Too Many CONVEX

Because it has made too many con-
verts the Doraville Methodist Episco-
pal church, located between Doraville
and Harpersville, N. Y, has been
whitecapped and burned to the ground.
Near Doraville reside a number of
characters who have made themselves
a terror to the neighborhood, They
were organized into a band, and at
their door have been laid the numer-
Gus crimes, great and small, perpe-
trated in that section.
Recently the Doraviile church began
a series CT such successfulrevivals that
several members of this element be-
came PROGRESSED christians: and this
virtually broke up the crowd. This so
incensed the remaining members that
whitecap threats were made against
the church apd its leaders, and one of
the trustees received an anonymous.
misspelled communication, warning
the church organization to disband.
No attention was paid to these
threats or communications, and the
church has been burned to the ground

SOME OLD COTTON.
1t V as Held for Forty Years.
Could Have Been Sold Once
at SI.50 Pound.

We were handed piece of cotton by
Mr.. H. w. Handy which has rather a
history.
There lived about fifteen miles be-
low Natchez, Miss, in Adams county,
a miser who owned large plantation
and many slaves He raised his fls
crop OF cotton in 1856. Cotton was sell
ing at that time for $3.50 per pound
The first bale was gotten ready, pick
ed, combed, pressed and carried to
Natchez by the negroes. The negroes
had made mistake in carrying it to
Natchez, and he stopped the sale. He
paid storage on it for many years be-
fore he would allow It to be placed on
the, market. In 1897, when cotton was
rather scarce, the Natchez mills
bought it for l0cents per pound, though
other cotton was bringing 81 cents.
When the bale was opened the over
seers in the mills each took a small
piece as keepsake, and the piece we
now have is part of that bale.
Although the white fleecy commodi-
ty is As years old it shows no sign of
age but looks as bright as it did In

DAWSON BOYS JARED 'EM
Cuthbert Says They Won Ball
Game for Shellman.

The Cuthbert Leader prints this &C
count of a recent ball game at Cuth-
bert
"The Cuthbert boys say Shellman
had the cards stacked on them last
week. The former claim that they had
agreed to play lot of small boys, and
that when 5hellman arrived with a
team composed of several stalwart
young men, several of whom were from
Dawson, they were slightly Jared.
But that was only gentle jolt as com
pared to the shock the score gave
them. This was 26 to Is in favor OF
Shellman.
CAS- may be inferred from the above
figures, the game was considerably
rocky. Cuthbert made errors innum-
cradle, and the game was too slow to
be interesting.
"The second nine hopes to play an
other game with Shellman."

AUGUST LIKELY TO BIZ
A VERY HOT MONTH.
DEVOE SAYS THERE WILL BE MANY
SULTRY DAYS AND LOCAL STORMS.
His Forecasts for July We're Remarkably
Accurate. Not Single General Rain
Is Scheduled for the Month.

The month of July, which has just
ended, will long be remembered as the
hottest July on record. 1t has also
been a very dry month, and the dam
age to crops from the hot weather and
drouth has been immense, especially
in the west and northwest In the
large cities of the east and west huE-
dreds of deaths and thousands of pros
trations have occurred from the excess
sive heat. Although rains have fallen
in the past few days over a wide Sec
tion of the country a general rain is
still badly needed In the west the
hay crop has been entirely destroyed,
but rains came ia time to save a part
of the corn crop.
The weather is topic in which ev-
eryone is interested. The forecasts of
DeVoe, the Tennessee prognosticator,
have been so remarkably accurate OF
late, and especially for the month of
July, that his predictions for August
merit attention. Here is the way his
weather chart for August, reads with
the exception of the six days already
passed
s, local storms; 0, 10, il, r. fair
weather; 10, local storms; IA, new
moon; Is, l6, local rains; II, Is, fair
weather; 10, 20, p, hot and sultry: %,
first quarter moon; %, "a, local rains;
%, 26, y, %, hot and sultry; 20, full
moon; 30, storm period, 81, local storms.
Below is DeVoe's general forecast
for August, and if he strikes it right
the month will be little better than
July. The month will be notable for
its many hot, sultry days. There is
only one general storm period down on
tie chart for the month, but there is a
! liberal sprinkling of local storms and
local rains. Not single general rain
is scheduled for the entire month.
Here is the general forecast i:
East India cyclones make their APP
pearance during August, and they are
liable to cause disturbances ia any part
of the wofld, but there are this year
no indications of unusual disturbances.

cept over the Atlantic coast states,

cat d. but no continuous rains or gen.

CORPSES CHOKE CAMPS.
The Horrors of England's Wey-
Iers Pens Are Described.

The horror of the situation in the
Boer reconcentrado camps of south
Africa is appalling. Men women and
chill lren are dying at rate that
would mean the determination of the
BOer race in nine years. The people
are cooped up in unsapitary quarters
where they are unable to secure suffi-
cent food or clothing, wita disease
making terrible rayages among
them"
Thus was the situation in the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State depic ed
in Chicago at the Christian Reform
church by Rev. D. Van Brockhuisen,
late pastor of the Dutch Reform
church at Pretoria He has come to
the United States to raise money to
alleviate the sutferings of his country
men who are huddled together in ref
ugee camps.
1t is the intention of the Rev. Mr..
Brockhuisen to travel through the
country speaking in churches of va
rious denominations and describing the
real situation throughout South fri
ca. The funds he is able to secure
will be sent direct to South Africa.
Regarding the outcome of the strug
gle Rev. Brockhuisen is still optimis-
tic. He believes that the Beers will
continue fighting until they eventually
tire out Great Britain. 1T is quite
impossible to estimate the number of
burghers now in the field" he said,
"but the force is undoubtedly much
larger than it was when Pretoria was
taken"
A few days before leaving Europe
MIR. Brockhuisen visited President
Kruger, and when he asked what mes
sage he would send to the American
people he replied:
"Tell them they are helping the
English to slaughter our people by sup
plying them with horses, mules and
the munitions of war"
