The Lafayette, Alabama. Sun, Of
erence to the death Of Miss Loula Nc
Claim: "On last Saturday, news was
received here from Mr.. T. B. McClain,
at Yorkville, s. c., that his daughter,
Miss Loula, was dead. While the news
was not unexpected, yet it was indeed
a shock to her friends in Lafayette.
Some months ago this young lady came
to Lafayette an entire stranger, but
within a few weeks. by her ladylike
manners, charming graces Of mind,
and strict attention to duty she won
circle of friends who admired her
greatly. In the work she had in hand
she found some difficulties to check her
progress. out undaunted she pressed
on, never firing. never giving up, till
within a day or so before she was TAX
en- i'll sne had secured enough names to
warrant her in establishing a library
here. Fatal disease laid its hand upon
her and she was forced to give up her
work. Her illness was Of complica-
ted nature and her physician and
friends feared the worst from the be-
ginning. Owing to pressure Of busi-
ness her father was called back home
and he decided to carry his daughter
with him. For only few days was
she permitted to stay with her parents
in their home, for the disease had done
its work, and she was called across the
bar. The ministries Of friends here to
this young lady were Of a most delicate
nature, and showed that she had won
the affections Of the strangers whom
she was among. Such noble charac-
ters as was Miss McClain impress the
world for good. Her short life was not
lived in vain. She had touched man.
kind at many points and the refining
influences Of her true womanhood will
prove lasting. To the bereaved, love
and sympathy are extended. She rests
sweetly under the shade Of the trees
in the summer land Of bliss"

+Fhe Heath-Hinson livery people
slaughtered two horses last week on &C.
count Of glanders. It was on the ad-
vice Of Surgeon Nesom. One Of the
animals lad been affected suspiciously
for a week or more. There was a dis
charge from the nose; but no other
typical symptoms so far as the. repor-
ter can learn. The other horse was
similarly affected but to a less extent.
On his recent visit to this place, Sur
geon Nesom examined the horses and
gave 1t out as his opinion that the
disease was most probably CHAMBERS.
He had no mallein, however, with
which to make a scientific test, and
was unable to definitely decide the
matter. To be on the safe side, the
livery people took the horses out and
advice Of Surgeon Nesom, the stalls in
which the horses had been kept sep
arate from the other stock in the sta
BILE. were taken out and the whole
place disinfected in accordance with
the surgeons directions. Since the
slaughter Of the animals, and in fact
for several days previous, the livery
people have not allowed horses other
than their own to enter their stables,
and In sending out their horses they
have been especially careful to send
buckets along for watering purposes.
1t has now been about ten days since
the horses were shot, and as no new
cases have developed, the livery people
are breathing somewhat freer over
the situation. They are inclined to
think that, after all, the disease was
not glanders; but some other disease,
fully described in the horse books as
similar in appearance, but non-infec-
tions and not necessarily fatal.

THl PRICE OF CoRN.-Will it be a
dollar and a half per bushel next
spring? 1t looks so now. What Will
we do if this is so? After failure OF the
corn crop in 1S45 many people emigra-
ted to Tennessee and elsewhere for
fear of starvation, for there were no
railroads in upper South Carolina to
bring in corn. Now when there are
railroads, there will be no corn to I'M
port except at high prices, for there
seems to be a greater failure of crops
in the Northwest than there is here.
1t was said that in 1S45 Major n.
r. Eaves furnished hundreds of POUNDS
of turnip seed to the people Of Ches-
ter county free, and that great guam

WHY should the people Of Elloree
prefer the colored man, Robert Will

ker, the white McLaurinite? Is 1t a
choice between an honest Republican

Yes. what strange bedfellows poll
tics do sometimes make. The Index
does not pretend to state any facts in
the case; but merely suggests some
thing disreputable. It would have the
Elloree people in the position Of up
holding an "honest Republican"
against a sham Democrat" If this is
correct, the Elloree people are right;
but as a matter Of fact it is more like
ly that the honest Republican" re-
ferred to is being upheld by sham
Democrats" There is similar condi-
tion in Columbia. DR.. J. F. Ensor is
no doubt a good man and competent
postmaster; but there was time when
he was held up before the white people
Of the state as a disreputable renegade
by the very people who are now en-
dorsing and fortifying him against any

tor McLaurin. If this kind of thing
goes on, Senator McLaurin's enemies
will eventually succeed in building up
quite a respectable Republican party
in South Carolina.

70 hevivify the Alliance.

Columbia Record: President J. G.
Wilborn, of the State Farmers Alli-
ance, and who Is also railroad commits
sioner, said today that at the meeting
of the state Alliance, which Is to be
held in this city on July 24-25 the pro-
ject of revivifying the alliance would
be taken UP. While the Alliances SUBJ
lodges no longer hold their regular
weekly meetings, it is claimed the ad-
herents of the Alliance are just as nu-
merous as they were in it's palmiest
days. The plan on foot Is to revive the
interest in these lodge meetings. For
that purpose 1t Is likely that the state
Alliance convention will appoint an
agent or lecturer, who will visit every
county and try to interest Alliancemen
in renewing their allegiance to the or
der There used to be lecturers who
were paid. but interest tagged in alli-
ance affairs, the lecturers were not
paid, and consequently their enthusi-
asm for the success "of the noble Or
der" waned. There are no lecturers or
agents now going about the state to
keep up interest in the organization.
Mr.. Wilborn feels confident that with
little stirring up the farmers will
again organize. Every otner profess
sion and calling is organized for mu-
tual protection, he says, and there Is
abundant reason why the farmers
should do the same thing. Mr.. Wilborn
thinks that all Alliancemen should be
allowed to come back in full fellowship
without reference to back fees due, or
without reference to what the various
lodges may owe to the state orga MIA
tion. This will no doubt prove pop
ular scheme in the reorganization
plan. Mr.. Wilborn thinks that the
s17 900 now on deposit belonging to the
Alliance and turned over by the eX-
change, can be used for the purpose OF
paying the agents. 1t is drawing In
terest and that will amount to enough
to give a man very good salary.

The Shooting of the President in the
Temple of Music Graphically Described.
Buffalo, N. Y.-On many material
points and particularly the u~tterances
of President Mckinley after he was
shot. the witnesses of the tragedy at
the Temple of Music fail to agree.
The action of the tragedy was very
fast, and its commission was followed
by a scene of confusion in which it
was difficult to either see or hear with
accuracy however close one stood to
the President and his assailant.
1t is now condeded that the Presi-
dent did not say, May God forgive
him." after he was shot and agreed
that his first audible speech was a
reference to his wife.
Il trust Mrs. Mckinley will not be
informed of this-at least, l hope 1t
will not be exaggerated"

he was injured, for he leaned forward

Buffalo, N. president Mckinley,
while holding a reception in the TEN

On the Exposition grounds, but not be-

Leon CzolgosZ, the assassin, has
signed a confession, covering six
pages of foolscap, in which he stated
that he is an Anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member of
that body through the influence Of
Emma Goldman. whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened to. He denied having any
confederate, and said he decided on
the act three days before and bought
the revolver with which the act was
committed in Buffalo.

them are butchers and others are in

Czolgosz was detained at Police
Headquarters, pending the result of
the Presidents injuries. He did not
appear in the least degree uneasy or
penitent for his action. He said he
was induced by his attention to Emma
Goldman's lectures and writings to de
eide that the present form of govern
ment in this country was all wrong,
and he thought the best way to end it
was by killing the President, He

Protection of property and life from
lightning flashes has been a subject
that has cntrained the attention Of
natural philosophers since Franklin
sent up his historic kite. The net re-
suit of more than a century of attempt
to secure protection has been the light
ming rod, in its more or less ineffi-
cient forms, and the discovery that
buildings of modern construction hav-
ing metallic roofs, and often metallic
frames as well, are practically i'm
mune from attack by lightning. The
total number of deaths due to light

Those who recall the stories of hard
ship and danger which attended the
voyage of the argonauts to the Klon-
dixie are reminded by publications
made almost daily of additions to
travelling facilities in the North that
there is a great difference in the con-
ditions now existing in Alaska and
those encountered three or four years
ago. The latest news of this kind is
that a line of sleigh coaches have
been put on the Dawson route. The

such comparative comfort that it is no
unusual thing to meet men who go to

AGRICULTURAL.


While the use Of the best cows is n
very important matter, yet the man
agement Of the farm and the cattle
have something to do with the produc-
ton of milk. There are cows that Will
give more milk on some farms than
on others, due to better varieties OF
grass, more grain food and more com-
Portable quarters. An Indifferent farm
er may have good cows from which
no profit is ived because Of poor
management, turing long periods of
drought the pasture may not provide
but a fraction of the grass compared
with its capacity early in the season,
and 1t, therefore, becomes more diff
cult for the animals to supply them
selves. This deficiency the farmar
should observe and supply.

When men are guided in their
physical exercises by a theory, or by
the rules of a trainer, OF by anything
except their own sense of comfort,
they are in danger of overexertion,
which is always worse than under
doing. Walking at a moderate gait
to the tired point, but not beyond,
with plenty of fresh air, will usually
accomplish all that is needed for most
men and women. There are persons
whose organs have a tendency toward
sluggishness, and who require special
forms of exercise to stimulate healthy
action; but they are proper subjects
for the advice of the physician. Stout
people are too often and too positively
urged to reduce their weight by siren
uous exercise, especially since the
fields have become crowded with golf
enthusiasts of both sexes and al
ages.
