Col. J. Hampton Hoge was in
Washington last week trying to Sc.
cure the federal judgeship which
later went to Henry Clay Mcdowell
The Colonel was told by the Presi
dent that be must procure the en-
dOrsement of the lawyers of the old
Dominion. Colonel Hoge said this
was difficult, as be had for years been
lighting the democrats and they
would be losthe to recommend him.
1t is understood that Colonel HOge
tried unsuccessfully TO secure the en-
dorsement of Senator Hanna. The
latter declined on the ground that be-
was not lawyer and had made it a
rule during the Mckinley admins
trauon, not TO make recommendations
IN judicial appointments. He said
he could not change that rule now.
Complete returns from the late cleo.
ton show that Montsgue's majority
was 34,440. Hoge carried only the
Fifth and Ninth district The dem
ocratic majority in the Seventh Dis
trict was SIS. The republicans will
have three senators and seventeen
members in the next legislature, with
five independents in the House Of
Deleg ties. This gives the democrats
80 majority over all.
President Roosevelt's first appoint
ment of cadet to West Point is "a
son of Lieut.. Charles w. Gatewood.
formerly of Harrisonburg, one of the
most fearless Indian fighters of his
day. Lieut.. Gatewood's most dis
tinguished service WAS rendered in
the capture of Geronimo, the Apache
chief who gave the government so
much trouble in Arizona. He died a
few years ago after having been re
tired from the army on account Of

Representative Babcock of Wis
consin, is pluckingly upholding the
tariff measure he stole from the Dem.
ocrats last session, aud has since been
attempted to force on his own party
with no apprecisble results. "My
idea as to tariff revision is simple
he said. at is thus: Where bv
changed conditions tariff duties have
become exorbitant, far beyond the
needs of protection, | would put
them where they would amply pro
tect labor, but not TO a point that
would create a monopoly of trade
and raise prices to consumers. In
other words, if an article cost 81 TO
be produced abroad aud Sl.4O to be-
produced in this county, | would
favor so per cent. duty, to protect
ourselves; but not 300 per cent.
which would simply afford a margin
for Increasing the price to our own
cOnsu There is no departure
from republican protective tariff
principles in that. | reassert that
| am as ardent an advocate of the
republican doctrine of protection to
American industries as there is in
this country" The question this Con.
gress will be called upon to answer is
will 1t permit a tariff duty to remain
IN force, to enable a trust to pay
dividends on watered stock? This
is the question that the Democrats
have been asking, for 10, these many
years, only to be overborne By the
money that the protected trusts have
been able to muster to their Defense.
Mr.. Babcock means we'll and if be
ard his half dozen supporters would
join hands with the Democrats they
might force action. Noe doubts.
however, that when it comes to a
show down, they will yield to their
caucas rule aud vote to maintain the
tariff unchanged.

A dispatch from Luray says: Mr.
George Seakford was buried II years
ago at his home, near RiieyviIle, this
county. A few days since the body
was exhum med for removal 10 the
RIleyville Cemetery, when the cofli Il
was found to be covered by water,
and on examination it was discovered
to be too heavy for removal without
more help, aud inspection proved the
ensire body was petrified. 1t requir
ed eight stout men to place it IN the
wagon. The features were so we'll
preserved as to pc really recognized
by those who knew Mr.. SeakfOrd in
life. The grave was in limestone
coil, and it is thought the BODY has
been covered by water from the lime
rocks ever since burial. The lime
stone into which the body has been
turned resembles closely the forma-
tons In the Lnray Caverns. The
body weighed 800 pounds.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root the great kidney and
bladder remedy, fulfills every wish in
curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects In
ability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor. wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of be-
ing compelled to go often during the
day, and to get UP many times during
the night The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by druggists
in f1fty-cent and one dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of
Swamp Root and a book that tells

SOLDIERS BADLY BEATEN.
One of Their AssaiIants Claimed
They Provoked Quarrel.


C. E. Barnhill and Frank Moss, artil-
lerymen from Fort Screven, were beat
en- in fight with civilians at Ogle-
thorpe avenue and Houston street yes
terday. Barnhill received a severe cut
over the right eye, and another on the
back of the head. He was taken to
ST Josephs Hospital in the police am
bulance.
The soldiers became engaged in an
alteration with several civilians, and
the fight was fast and furious while
it lasted. When the detectives reached
the scene of the trouble they were able
to secure little information, and a ne
gro employed in John 7. Wade's saloon
was placed under arrest, along with
w. J. Britt, white man. They were
in custody for only a few minutes.
The soldiers stated that they had
been assaulted without provocation,
and at first it was believed that Barn
hill had been seriously injured. The
negro bartender told the officers that
the soldiers had been in the saloon,
and that Barnhill was under the in
fuence of liquor, and had displayed two
pairs of brass knucks in the bar. The
negro claimed that he did not know
who took part in the ARRAY.
]. A. Rahilly, young white man.
was arrested last night by Detective
Murphy for having been engaged in
the row. He admitted that he was a
party to the trouble, and had been en-
gagged in the scuffie. Rahilly alleges
that the soldiers had been drinking
and looking for trouble for two days.
He claims that they were armed with
knucks and amused themselves by US
ing the most profane language in
speaking to the "Southerners" on the
corner, and in the saloon. Rahilly
claims that this caused the fight. The
prisoner will be given a preliminary
examination in Police Court this morn
ing by Recorder Myrick and the 9TH
ers who were engaged in the fight will
probably show up at that time.

Alderman Thomas Has Asked That
That Amount BE Set Aside.

Alderman Thomas Has Asked That
That Amount BE Set Aside.
The Council Committee on City Lots,
of which Alderman Thomas is chair
man. has asked an appropriation of
1000 for opening streets next year
,rhe appropriation for the current year
WAS 1900, which has been taken UP
in the payment of notes falling due
that were given in years gone by for
property acquired by the city for open
ing streets. Next year there will be
GOO worth of such notes falling due,
which must be met from the appropri-
alton.
During the past year there has been
a great deal OF property acquired by
the city to complete its plan by open
ing streets to the limits. There is yet
much property to be secured, however.
and it is probable that some years
more will pass before all streets are
omen in straight, unbroken lines from
limits to limits as they have existed.
Then there will be many years to fol-
low before streets are opened to the
newly established limits.
Alderman Thomas has prepared
partial list of the property needed for
ODenlIlS SlICSlSs Illt lOLS appearing
upon his list which was submitted to
the Committee of the Whole with his
estimate of needs for next year, will
he given preference over other proper
ty required, but Alderman Thomas
says that he will not consider that he
cannot, if the interests of the city de-
mand, relinquish part of his present
plan and make a purchase elsewhere.
The following list of lots Alderman
Thomas would like to secure next year
shows merely the streets on which
they lie and the lines of which are OBJ
structed, the list, Alderman Thomas
says, representing about one-half the
property within the limits that should
be acquired by the city to make street
