sentative Of the Fifth congressional
district in the house, spent last Satur-
day in Yorkville, shaking hands with
his old friends. He seemed to have no
special business here, and during the
day he not only met many people
he knew formerly; but made quite
number Of new acquaintances. Mr..
Hemphill has been out Of politics for
number Of years, or more strictly
speaking, since 1892. 1t was common
ly whispered about the streets that Mr..
Hemphill has the senatorial bee In his
bonnet: but SO far as Is known. he did
not make public any intimation of the
kind during his stay. He did, however,
talk antf-McLaurin politics to num-
ber Of individuals: but whether as an
anti McLaurin man or to draw out the
people to whom he was talking. did not
clearly develop. One citizen told Mr..
Hemphill that in the event Of an elec-
ton now, Senator McLaurin would not
get ten per cent. Of the votes Of the
county: another told him that McLau-
rim would get plurality in any COM
bination against him; and still another
insisted that the junior senator would
get at least so per cent. Of the votes
cast. no matter who should be In the
race. All this was speculation, Of
course, and as to whether Mr.. Hemp
hill secured any really satisfactory in
formation cannot be definitely stated.
However, his friends were glad to see
him, and there is no doubt Of the fact
that he had a pleasant day Of 1t.

w. w. Lewis. pursuant to the adver-
tisement published in THE ENQUIRER
during the past five weeks.
At the appointed hour, quite crowd
Of people, attracted principally by curl

who seemed to be directly interested In
the sale.
Trustee Lewis read the terniS of the
sale, including the stipulationfof the
deposit of certified check for $1,000
as a prerequisite to bidding, and also
that no bid for less than $4,000 would
be considered.
Only one check was deposited. II
was handed up by Mr.. s. M. McNeel

as no other bids were offered, the prop

sum mentioned.
It is quite probable that arrange.

Sutro again as soon as possible; but as
yet no definite information Is to be had
on the subject.

WHAT Col. JONES SAYs.-Col. Willie
Jones, state Democratic chairman, yes
terday gave the following statement In
regard to the article written by Senator
Appelt in the Manning Times: I'm JUS
tice to Senator Tillman I feel 1t incum-
bent upon me to answer an editorial
which appeared in the Manning Times
of June 26, 1901. Senator Appelt, the
editor Of that paper, is mistaken when
he makes the impression in his editorial
that Senator Tillman told me that he
wished the governor to refuse to ac-
cept the resignation Of Senator McLau-
rim and himself. Senator Applet surely
misunderstood me. Senator Tillman
told me just to the contrary; that he
did not wish the governor to refuse to
accept the designations. I said to the
governor that I thought it was best
that the designations should not be ac-
cepted. Whether that personal sug-
gestion to him was wise or not the fu-
ture will tell. 1 said also to Senator
Appelt that I thought 1t would be bet
ter for the governor not to accept tn
designations, and that Is my entire con-
nectlon with the matter. / cannot sil
still and allow Senator Tillman to be
put In false position. before the peo-
pie, through me, because he certainly
said that he wished the governor to ac-
cept the designations at once and he
expected and wished them to be ac-
cepted. He was positive on that point"

BURGLARY AT BOWLING GREEN.

Burglars made a daring attempt to
rob the safe Of Mr.. w. B. Flanagan,
at Bowling Green, last Monday morn
ing, and were prevented by Mr.. Flanna-
gan only at the narrow risk of his life.
1t was at about 1.3O o'clock. There
was a heavy explosion In the store.
Mr.. Flanagan was awakened from his
sleep by 1t, and went out to investigate.
Approaching the store he became
aware that thieves were inside. and as
he was about to enter he was confron-
ted by a revolver in the hands Of a
murderous scroundrel, who told him,
take it away" meaning his head.
Mr.. Flanagan drew back, and the
next instant a revolver bullet whizzed
past the place his head had been and
buried itself in a post. There were
several other shots in rapid succession;
but in the meantime Mr.. Flanagan
had beaten a precipitate retreat.
Upon regaining his residence, Mr..
Flanagan set to work to alarm the
neighborhood, which he did by yelling
at the top of his voice and making as
much noise as possible. Presently, Rev.
w. A. Hafner, and another gentleman
whose name our informant was unable
to give, came to the rescue with shot
guns, and accompanied by Mr.. Flanna-
gan, the party returned to the store.
But the burglars had fled. None Of
them were in sight.
The interior of the store was almost a
complete wreck. Investigation showed
that the burglars had introduced an
explosive by drilling hole through the
top Of the safe, and that the door had
been thrown a distance of Is feet. 1t
had crashed through the front door Of
the building. Goods and other articles
were scattered about in more or less
confusion, as the result Of the concus-
sion caused by the explosion.
The burglars failed to get Mr.. Flan-
contained 1925 in cash. At first it was
thought that. as a matter Of course,
this sum was gone; but upon the strik-
ing of a light, bills and silver were
found scattered about the floor, and the
whole amount was collected up. There
was no reason to believe that the bur-
glars had gotten away with so much as
a single dollar.
There was no way Of telling how
many burglars there were In the party.
Mr.. Flanagan was sure that there was
more than one: but they could not be
tracked with certainty. They had fled
in the direction Of the railroad, but
there was no way of knowing whether
they had gone together or by different
routes.
The telephone instrument in the store
was found to be badly wrecked. 1t was

damaged condition and he decided that
it was worth a certain price to him,
and that the insurance people should

and he voluntarily returned $1,000 that
the companies had paid him. Of course
Mr.. Patton did the proper thing, and

going further"

THE conviction Of Colonel w. A. Neal,
as reported in today's issue Of THE EN-
oUIRER, is to be taken as a cause of
no little qualification to the people OF
the state. We are not conscious Of any
feeling of prejudice against Colonel
Neal, nor are we in position to say
to just what extent the vigorous prose
cution may have been Influenced by
improper. motives. Still there Is nc
question Of the fact that Colonel Neal
is guilty as charged, and we are doubt
full as to whether the jury was war
ranted in a recommendation to mercy
However, it is comforting to know that
a white man Of such prominence and
influence can be convicted in our
courts. If the good work could only be
extended to others equally deserving,
we would soon have a much better
country than at present.
