VENERABLE CITIZEN DIES.

GAINESVILLE News; News reached
here early Monday morning from The
Rock of the death of Mr.. William
Stephens, better known as Uncle Bill
lie,' whose death occurred at his home
at that piece Sunday night at about {
o'clock. Mr.. Stephens had been i'll
only a few days. He was one of the
oldest and most prominent residents of
Epson county. He was 80 years old and
had always lived in that county and
had always been prominent in all its
public affairs. He was a member of no
church, yet he was especially promi-
nent in the religious interests and had
been for many years one of the strong
est adjuncts to the camp-meeting an
nually held at The Rock. He was a
veteran of three wars-the Indian war,
the Mexican war and the war between
the states. He was good man and a
good citizen and was for nearly three
quarters of a century one of the lead
ing spirits in the community in which
he lived He was blessed with several
children whom he raised to useful
womanhood and manhood. but all pre-
coded him to the grave. The funeral OF
. Mr.. Stephens was held at The Rock
last Monday afternoon at o'clock. Six
of his great-grandsons acted as pail
bearers.

COMMITTEE ON VETERANS RE-
Union WORKING

Macon News: Everything is NOV
ing along smoothly for the Veterans
reunion, and by the time for holding
IT rolls around every arrangement will
have been perfected and every detail
will have been arranged. so that there
will be nothing left to do but to go
. ahead and see that every visiting vet
eran has a good time, and is made to
feel the cordial and hearty welcome
that will be extended to him. 1t is
the purpose and object of the commit
tee in charge to bring as many veter-
ans here as can possibly come, and
in this they are being assisted not only
by the members of the r. A. Smith
camp, but by every citizen of Macon.
The veterans who attended the reunion
at Augusta last year have not forgot
ten the royal manner in which they
were treated by not only the veterans
but By the citizens of that city, and
they propose TO reciprocate, and go
Augusta one better and will treat the
visiting veterans in such a way that
they will always remember the occa-
sion with the keenest pleasure. The
souvenir badges for the occasion have
been ordered and they are something
that will be appreciated by every one
who will be fortunate enough to re-
ceive one. A handsome souvenir
pamphlet will be printed for free dis
tribution and in these will be found
the names of all the committees, the
different hotels and boarding houses,
the programme and in fact all the in
formation regarding the reunion that
one could desire.

HARD TIMES FOR REsIsrENcIA.


The members of Resistencia, the
union of the striking cigarmakers at
Tampa, are having to hoe a hard row
of stumps, are getting more and more
desperate and are now living on less
than one meal a day; there is very
little ahead to encourage them in the
way of flowing contributions. When
they make appeals for help they are
told to go to work, as there is no fac
tory closed to them If they want to
work for living, they having the priv
ilege of returning to work at the prices
they left five weeks ago. and which
they expressed themselves as being
perfectly satisfied with.
Alejandrino Rodriguez, the second
secretary of Resistencia, and also the
second editor of La Federation, is re-
ported still missing Another has been
appointed in his place, but ii is as much
trouble to get to him now as it is to
approach the Pope at the Vatican. Ad-
mission is denied to all, and he is not
allowed to walk the streets, attended
or otherwise. The man is not consid-
cred such dangerous one as the other
two who have filled the job, and hence
little or no attention has been paid
to his appointment.
Seven factories are at work with In
ternational Union men, and have been
all the time, and 1t is understood now
that these men are being threatened
with death If they do not cease work.
Some have been frightened out of their
places, and the Citizens Committee is
giving this matter some attention. If
any person is caught threatening those
who are at work or attempting to car
ry out any of the threats, there will
be lively time in this city.
So far the wise men at the head of
Resistencia have been able to prevent
any of the proposed meetings from
being held, owing to the fact that they
claim these meetings are called sim
ply to get the people together, so that
they can be arrested. This will work
for little while, but the revolution
airy class of the order will soon find
that this is a ruse, and they will hold
their meeting, and then declare their
independence of the Resistencia lead
ers, and work will be started again.

and Shipping.
There is a marked stiffening in sail
freights. This is due TO the approach
of the winter season, to some extent,
and also to an increased demand for
sail tonnage. While vessel owners
usually have exaggerated ideas when
the market starts upward, there is
reason for believing that the next
few days will witness an improvement
If the present demand continues.
Southern lumber exporters are in the
market, and it is said some extensive
chartering has been done, both locally
and at Northern lumber receiving
ports during the past few days.

place early in September.
