membered that one year ago a deluge was
experienced which caused a great loss to
the vegetable growers, the rainfall in
fourteen hours being four and one-half
inches. On this occasion everything was
washed away and replanting became nee
essary, but in the disaster just ended
there was a rainfall of six and one-half
inches, and the damage was not confined
to the crops, but it is estimated that to
make the public roads again in a pass
able condition the county will be placed
at an expense of several thousand dollars.
Reports from various portions of the
county show the damage to have been
universal There was four inches of rain
fall in the vicinity OF High Springs, and
throughout the northern part Of the coun-
ty, which seemed TO have suffered least,

damage resulted in washing away of the

PAYING POLITICAL DEBTS.
Appointments for Services Rendere

Amendments for Services Rendered.
washington, d. c., March 27.-President
Mckinley wiped several political scores
off the slate yesterday, when he ap-
pointed Mr.. Allen of New York, commits
sioner of patents, and former Represen-
tative Rodenburg of Illinois, civil service
commissioner. The supply of political
lam in the presidential pot is not abund-
ant at present, and it is necessary for
the President to use 1t very sparingly
when he spreads 1t on the bread of his
Republican friends. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, neither one of these appoint
ments would have required more than
one or two congressional Endorsements.
The President, however, has learned by
experience how TO make small amount
OF Federal patronage extend over a large
area of political territory.
In the case OF Mr.. Allen, he obtained
the personal Endorsement OF Senator'S
Plat and Depew, House Leader Payne
and almost every member OF the New
York delegation in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t was so arranged that each
member Of the delegation was made to
feel that Mr.. Aliens appointment was
due to the personal appeal of each tndl-
vidual member. In the future when these
gentlemen move upon the White House
for further presidential favors, the Pres
ident is in a position to say to them that
he made Mr.. Allen, commissioner Of pat
ents at their earnest solicitation. In
the same manner, he secured the indorse-
ment Of Senators Cullom and Mason, all
the members of the Illinois delegation,
and a number of congressman from other
states in behalf of Mr.. Rodenburg's APP
pointment to either membership on the
st. Louis Fair Commission or some
thing equally as good
Mr.. Rodenburg's appointment as a Civil
Service Commissioner causes his Illinoise
friends to indulge in humorous comments
when they picture him civil service
reformer He is a well-known believer in
the policy of Ito the victor belongs the
spoils," and he is willing at all times to
take his share of the spoils. Some Of his
friends are surprised that he should take
such a position. He is young, popular,
and was supposed to entertain high politi-
cal aims for the future. By becoming
what is actually only government clerk
at modest salary, he is apt to lose his
political Identity at home and gradually
drift into the chronic office-seeking class.

THE BRYAN COUNTY AFFAIR.
An Account of What Actually oc-
Cured.

I5llabell, Ca, March 2s-Editor Morning
News: 1 have seen so many publications
concerning the so-called Moody lynching
in this Bryan county, that 1 deem it
but right to give a statement of the
facts
On the night of Feb. &c, I, and my fam
lily were awakened about / o'clock by the
reports of guns and pistols. This being
such an unusual occurrence, 1t was sever
al minutes before we could locate the
shots. Being soon convinced that a num-
Der of persons were determined to do vio-
lence of some sort, l and my sons armed
ourselves and started to the scene of trou-
BILE. When we reached the house in which
John Moody lived. he had just returned
from where they had left him. He had
been forcibly taken from the house and
beaten numerically, and had been shot
in the feet and legs, five balls taking eff
feet. Upon further investigation after
daylight. we found the fragments Of a
buggy whip. pieces of sticks or rails, and
broken pieces of very large switches.
These still have blood stains on them
from their violent use on Moody's per
son. The law breakers found one George
White, colored there, and assaulted him.
INJECTING two painful wounds in the head
and he no doubt would have been dealt
with as Moody was, IL he had not man
aged to get loose from them and mako

bed ever since, was under medical treat
ment for some time, but is now improv-
ing, and l hope will be able to walk in a
few days r A. Morgan.
