WILL GO ON HUNT.
Governor Jelks, Judge Kyle and
 Others to Compose the Party.

Courtland, Dec. 5.-(Special.)-It is re- ported here that Governor Jelks, Judge Osceola Kyle and other prominent State officials will spend this week at Ashwood
 Stock Farm as the guests of the genial prc prietor, Colonel C. N. Robinson. Ash
 wood is in the northeast corner of this County and the hunting on and around the farm this year Is reported to be su- perb. Whether the distinguished guests succeed in killing bear or not. they will
 certainly enjoy a great time. Colonel Robinson and his wife are noted enter tainers and 1t was close to this farm that the bear was captured that was sent to President Roosevelt while on his famous Mississippi bear hunt. Ducks and geese are reported plentiful around Ash wood and if bigger game Is not captured, the larder will not be empty.
 H. D. Bynum and A. F. Robman of this place, have just received two Rolled Angus bulls from a noted Kentucky bI eeder. These gentlemen are stocking a large farm near this place with the best native COWS that they can buy. which will be crossed on the Polled An gus. If this venture is successful, they will buy, next year, lot of full blooded Angus cows and continue the breeding. Both Mir. Bynum and MT. Robman now own some of the finest Jersey cattle in the State.
 The threatened move of the negroes of this county to Liberia. does not seem to be worrying the farmers in the least They say that the negroes can go or stay just as they see fit. If for any reason there Is not a sufficiency of labor in the country for another year. the farmers who own large tracts of land, will con- vert a portion to pastures and put in blooded cattle and horses.
 George M. Garth. the proprietor of Bon nie Doon Stock Farm, has had the mis- fortune to lose four valuable animals within the past three weeks. They were taken with something like blind staggers and died in a short while. Quite num- ber of horses have died in this communi- ty with staggers within the past month
 Rev. P. l.. Abernathy. who for the past threo years has been pastor of the Meth odist Church at this place. has been as- signed to Sheffield and carried his fam- ily there today. MT. Abernathy Is one of the brightest ministers in the confer ence and he and his splendid family will be quite an acquisition to Sheffield. The Rev, MT. Ragan who has filled the Meth odist pulpit at Meridianville for the past wear will be installed as pastor here.

EXPLOSION OF NAPTHA
A SCORE DEAD ANDTwo HUNDRED
BURNED AND INJURED.

8rvenay Cars burned In the Railroad
Yards at Pittsburg A-1.eahtng Naptha
YVES set on Fire ny switch lamp
Pittsburg, Nav 49, The Sh ersden
wards of the Panhandle Railroad Com
pany were the scene last evening OF
one of the most disastrous EXPLOSIONS
and fires known in this section for
MANY years.
A score of lives were lost and about
200 persons were so badly burned that.
according to the Judgment OF physi-
clans in Tendance, rs ner cent. OF
them will die from the effects Of
their injuries.
The cause OF the catastrophe was
the explosion of tram OF naphtha
cars which we're being switched at
the yard. In the switching the rear
car telescoped car forward.
The leaking naphtha lgnited from a
switch light, causing an explosion
which threw flames 80 feet high.
Much of the escaping naphtha ran
through Corks run TO Esplenboro. ~
miles. Here it caused another exOto.
sion. blowing to atoms the Seymour
Hotel and the Collins House. and bad
ly wrecking frame building nearby,
bred or more persons from Pittsburg
and vicinity betting on the races and
baseball. Few occupants of this
building escaped injury, many being
badly hurt.
The first car or naphtba exploded
about 40 o'clock. The spectacle
soon attracted a large crowd on the
streets lining the hills ON both sides
of and parallel to the railroad.
The second car exploded about 8
O'Clock. 1t was g. 3 when three more
cars of the deadly stuff went IN with
roar that could be heard for miles.
Then the work of destruction really
began.
A torrent of flame burst forth on
each side of the track, sweeping back
.the terrified spectators Ike charge
of artillery and sending shower of
fire over their heads.
The successive explosions had heat
ed the air to such an extent that be-
fore the third explosion many were
rendered unconscious by the extreme
heat and gaseous fumes. They were
being carried awav when the torrent
OF flame swept over The excited crowd.
The clothing of many was soon
afre. The victims ran franticallv
tearing their burning garments from
their bodies and screaming for helm.
In the meantime the fire had spread
TO other cars, and in an incredibly
short time the entire yard was ablaze
1t is estimated that 70 cars were burn
ed. The beat was so intense that fire
men were unable to get any where
near it for time.
All the ambI lances in this CITY and

THE HINDU EDITOR.
He Does Not Believe in OverworEing
and Publishes Amusing Excuses
for shortcomings

In amusing candor and ingenuity
of excuses the western editor might
learn something from his HoDdu
brother. who, when ANYTHING goes
wrong with the paper for which he
is responsible, is as fertile in excuses
as Chinaman.
When the first copy OF new Hi-du
newspaper made its appearance re-
cen lv It's subscr ibers were amazed to
see that nearly half of 1t consisted
of empty columns. The following
editorial note. however, explained
this vagary: 1--WE regret that this
our maiden number. should lack COM
pleteness due TO characterization.
We thought we had sufficient mater1-
al. and consequently did not trouble
to collect more We can insure our
indulgenY readers that this will not
occur again. and we trust the quality
of the contents Will make up for their
lack of quantity
Another Hindu editor found it nec-
essary to suspend the publication of
his paper for fortnight without any
warning. When the naper again made
IT'S appearance it contained this anus.
ing notice: 1--WE regret that owing
to a misunderstanding with rival
editor, in which we failed TO get all
she best of the argument. If was nec-
essary for us to retire unexpectedly
from the conduct of this paper for
the space of two weeks. during which
we have had opportunities of devils
ing certain improvements which we
PROPOSE to introduce into it The RI
val editor, we regret to report. is
still confined to his home.
When the Hindu editor wishes to
rest for time from his lahors he
calmly and confidently announces
the fact in these or similar words :
LAS we are beginning to feel the
phvsical and mental effects of a
years unremitting devotion to the IN
terests of our readers, we feel 1t due
to them that we should take the rest
which our labors in their behalf de-
mand aud deserve; and as a natural
consequence beg to notify that this
paper will cease to appear for the
space of four weeks. =
A short time ago an Indian news
paper appeared with two verv conspic-
ious blank columns on the front page
The editor explained this eccentricty
thus: We had reserved this space
for an exceptionally powerful attic le
on Subject OF universal interest TO
our readers: but at the last moment
we find that the article cannot be
compressed within the two columns
reserved for Vt. Ii will make its APP
pearance next week. -
Another Hindu editor, whose paper
made It's bow to the Lublic with
number of emutv columns. had the de-
lightful effrontery to insert motto
to the effect that "a very large guam
tItv Of most interesting matter has
been omitted for lack of space.
