GENERAL FUNSTON.
Something About the Man Who Cap
tured AguinaIdo.

The Louisville Conrier-J Journal gives
the following short history Of the life OF
General Funston, of Kansas, who has
taken suehs q prominent part in the
war in the Philippines, and who re-
Gently coversd himself with glory by
capturing Aguinaldo:
At the age of eighteen Funston en-
tered the Kansas State University,
where he was classmate of William
Henry White, who made himself fa-
nous by his inquiry, whats the mat
ter with Kansas" White says that If
it hadn't been for himself, Funston
would have stood ut the foot OF the
class, and as 1t was, it was a close race.
Owing to his aversion to text books
and restrictions. young Funston did
not graduate, but in 1886 became city
editor Of the Fort Smith (Kan.) Tri-
bune, a staunch Democratic paper. "- A
few days before an important election
the editor-in-chief went away, leaving
the paper in Funston's hands. He had
been getting weary of the Democrats,
who had been conducting their cam
paign on basis OF bribery and intimi-
dation, and his first act when he was in
control, was to write an editorial stat.
ing his opinions with degree of
frankness which left no room for mis-
understanding.
This action brought down the wrath
of the people of Fort Smith on the head
of the young editor, and they threat
ened to burn the Tribune building.
But Funston was not to be frightened,
and gathering his staff around him he
prepared to defend the place. Only
the arrival OF the editor-in-chief pre-
vented serious trouble.
On account of his exceeding frank
ness, the young man was request
ed to seek other fields, AID soon OBJ
tained place as conductor on the San
ia Fe line. One day drunken cow
boy tried to shoot holes in the ceiling /
Of the train of which Funston had
charge, but the plucky little conductor |
kicked the gun out of the ruffian's
hand, yanked him along the aisle and
threw him off the back platform. The |
cowboy got up. hurled "a piece Of ballast !
at the train and broke window, where
upon Funston started out in hot pursuit,
ballast as he ran. BY the time !;
he got back to his train half an hour
had been dropped from the schedule. |
The superintendent made inquiry
about the matter, and the conductor
1T was all right to throw him of"
said the superintendent, "but what did |
you chase him fo-?"
II suppose was mad, SAID Funston.
'sWouldu't you be mad If man threw /
q rock through your Window"
Probably, but don't do it again."
said the superintendent.

this state. AT the breaking out of the
war, Mr.. Anderson, then but boy, en-
listed in ca. II, vicksburg Volunteers
OF the 18th Mississippi Regiment and
served with gallantry to the end Of the
war.
At the close OF the war he returned
to his home in Issaquena county and
was elected to the Office OF county clerk
and then 10 the Office of sheriff which
he filed for II years. About FIVE years
ago Mr.. Anderson moved with his

Two Residences Burned.

The palatial home and its contents,
Of Hon. Chas. Scott, at Rosedale was de-
stroyed by fire last Monday night. The
loss on house and furniture was about
$4,000. Many heirlooms of the family
were destroyed which cannot be re
placed and which were to Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott the severest blow. The no me
was one of the largest and most ele-

state We deeply sympathize with Mr..
and Mrs. Scott in their great loss.

GREENEILLE NEEDS A
GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
And Ogr Gitizens Should Ask Con-
Eress to Give 1t To Us.

! When the next session OF Congress
/ meets a petltion Of our citizens should
be sent through our representatives
asking for 4 Government building for
Greenyilles You can already hear some
say its no nse we can't get it. This
no doubt 4 true, II we sit with our arms
folded andQAf mouths shut and never
ask as we afe doing today, but you
must admit ether towns have got them
and with the postoffice and other build
ings the GoVernment is paying rent
for, togethers with the government
engineer officials located here we be-
lieye that the Government could be
made to see that to erect building
would be saving to them in dollars
each year, better place to carry on
their business besides convenience to
the people.
Z IT our board Of trade would wake up
and go to work our postoffice would
have night clerk put on who would
look after the dispatching of mails on
all the night trains, giving the mer-
chants Of the city time to answer their
correspondence after business hours.
Again, the city needs at least one more
carrier to make east of the railroad.
The business Of our postotfice, which is
one Of the largest in the state, will
justify the demands and the sooner the
board gets together and discusses the
cities needs along this line the better
the prospects Of the city getting them.

"nEART AND SWORD.
Will Appear at the Grand Opera
House, Thursday, April 25.

Walker Whiteside, sterling young
actor well known to Atlanta theatre
goers, supported by well balanced
company of players, opened at the
Grand last night in what is new de-
parture for him-the romantic comedy
drama, and all who saw the play left
the theater well pleased with it. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather fair sized audience OF regu-
lars was In the house. Heretofore they
had seen Mr.. Whiteside in his am
bilious Shakespearean plays, and they
were not prepared for the versatility
shown by the young actor in the ro-
mantle comedy, Heart and Sword" !"
The play is full of light and delicate
comedy, and Mr.. Whiteside showed
himself TO great advantage in these
passages. es.-Atlanta Journal.
Walker Whiteside has been to Roa-
noke more than once and has always
gone away leaving the most pleasant
impressions of his performances. His
appearance last night in nowise denim
ished this feeling towards him. His
new play is strong enough to show his
talent to the full extent bright and in
teresting. 1t is not unlike Rupert of
Hentzau and the Prisoner of Zsnda.
Mr. Whiteside lost nothing in his de-
parture from the Shakespearian field
and having risen 80 high while yet so
young it is not difficult to cast his
horoscope. Roanoke Times.
A representative Charlotte audience
witnessed the presentation of "Heart
and Sword" at the opera house last
night. The company is under the
of Shipman Brothers, of
New York, who are starring Mr.. Walk
er Whiteside. He is new to the South,
but, judging by last nights perform
ance, it is likely that he will win in the |
the laurels that he has al
ready won in the North and Northwest. |

SMALL INDUSTRIES.
The Atlanta Constitution Reads A
Good Lesson ON This Question.

"The people OF the South do not pa,
enough attention to small industries,
said gentleman ate the Kimball yes
terday. ~
They seem 10 have an idea unles
one has large amount Of capital ther,
is no chance to do anything, 1t is true
that this is an era Of great combina
tions and that In certain lines one car
do nothing unless backed by plenty Of
money. But the South think is pc.
culiarly inviting field for industries
which do not require great deal OF
capital.
"Take the canning business, for in
stance. Georgia will have tremen-
dous peach crop this year If it escapes
the cold. A great many of the peaches
will be shipped north and bring good
returns, but probably half of the crop
will rip-n so fast that it will be impos-
sible to ship. Now, If there were can
ming plants throughout the orchard re-
gion of the State, allthese peaches that
rot would be preserved and bring rich
returns to the growers. 1t doesn't take
a great deal of money to establish a
canning plant, and the peach growers
might cooperate in the scheme. You
know that this is community of in
terest' age.
What is true of peaches is true of
almost every other fruit and vegetable
grown in this section. Half the profit
OF growing is lost because the product
rots before it can be put on the market.
Florida grows great quantities OF vege-
tables, but does not get the returns
that ought to come because there are
no canning plants in the State. Thou
sands Of bushels of tomatoes and other
vegetables go to waste every season, and
yet in the winter the Florida people
are buying quantities Of canned goods
which were put up in the North.
"Just to show the possibilities Of
small industries l will relate an Incl
dent that came under my observation
q few years ago. In Southern city
there was woman who lost her hus-
band, and when the estate was wound
up there was nothing left for the widow
and children. The woman, although
accustomed to luxury, had a brave
heart and met the situation with cour-
age. Before her husbands death her
table had been noted for theexcellence
Of the pickles served, which weremade
from recipe Of her own. Itoccurred
to her that this receipt had . CONNER
cial value. She raised little money
and told her friends that she was going
into the manufacture of pickles. She
began in small way, Of course, but |
orders came in so fast that she was
forced to enlarge her plant. In q short
while she was receiving large income,
and few years ago she disposed OF her
plant and recipes for a sum that
made her independent. What that
woman did others can do. There are
plenty OF opportunities for small indus
tries in this section, and those who
take advantage Of them will acquire
wealth."

If "April's coming up the hill, all |
have got to say il that it's long hill,
and one that April seems to have a
hard time a-climbing. But we all
know one swallow doesn't make spring,
nor does one poet make April He
may picture hera he would like her to
be, but he can't deliver the goods at
least he hasn't done SO this year. The
only way you can tell that April is
here is to look at the calendar. So
far the flowers that ''bloom in the
spring, ira, la" haven't bloomed. and
only the Lord knows when they will.
But the above little poem is real cute,
especially the line that reads ''pit, pat,
patter, clatter." No, ! don't know
who wrote it.

April 1st has come and gone, but you
can't say as much for the fools--for
those we have with us always. If they
only appeared one day in the year this
would indeed be a lonesome old world
When we get used to them they are
not near the bother our imagination
would suggest. But on April 1st they
rise to the top, SO to speak. On that
day all kinds Of fools are in evidence.
They are 10 be divided into two classes
the class who plays the tricks and
the one upon whom they are played.
1t is also hard to decide which is the
bigger fool of the two. We have the
man who nails the pocketbook to the
sidewalk and the fool who tries to pick
it up; the one who loads brick in a
paper bag and the fool who gives his
corn death blow by kicking the said
paper bag into the street. Then we
have the smart Aleck who sends his
friend four or FIVE blocks to sec man
who isn't there and who who wouldn't
want to see him II he was, the bright
clerk who tells you to go to millinery
store for q four-inch auger, or to a
