Would Not Try IL Twice.

Susan b. Anthony, the woman suffr-
age leader has turned the joke on the
democratic county committee at Ro-
chester, N. Y, in explaining her reason
for not registering and voting.
A democratic canvasser called at Miss
Anthony's house last week, and upon
asking who lived there was told rs. B.
Anthony"
In response to the next query the can.
vasser was told that S. B. Anthony was
a democrat.
The facts were so recorded in the can.
vass book and when the clerks at head
quarters began to check up the lists pre-
paratory to sending out notices calling
on democrats to be sure to register on
Saturday they foundthat S. B. Anthony,
a democrat, had not registered Ac.
cordingly postal card was sent to the
name and address given. The appeal
on the card was urgent, saying, among
other things: "You are not registered.
Unless you register you cannot vote.
To register you must apply in person to
the board of registry" etc. and ending
with the injunction; "Do not neglect
this"
When Miss Anthony received the
postal card she wrote this message on the
face of the postal and returned it: "In
response to notice OF this kind in 1872
l did register, and later on l voted.
For this was arrested, fined $lOC
and sent to jail You will excuse me il
/ decline to repeat this experience"

about 80 per cent is tillable and the re.
mainder generally affords good pasture
age. The soil is dark, sandy loan

HODGES IS RECOVERING.
Negro Whose Throat Was Cut
Thursday Still Alive.
PRISONERS TAKEN TO MADISON

Conditions OF the Victim is Remark
able, All Clrcum stances Considered.
Sheriff Clements Takes Charge of
Spahr and Baird.
George Hodges, the colored man 30
cruelty cut about the throat last Thurs
day night while out with two white
companions, Max Spahr and ]. A.
Baird, is more than holding his own at
the home OF Jane johnson in South
Norfolk. With throat cut almost
from ear to ear and the wind pipe
almost severed as we'll as a number of
important blood vessels cut allowed to
lay out for two hours during which
time he was losing the vital life hnid
and his writings filling the ugly
wound with dust and dirt-with all
these circumstances to combat it is re-
markable that Hodges is alive and ap-
parently on the road to complete re-
covery. This condition is largely due
to the excellent physical condition of
the patient, but the doctors who at
tended the case are deserving of much
credit 1t has been well said that If
Hodges had been president of the
United States and he had been cared
for in handsomely appointed hospital
with half dozen famed physicians and
as many trained nurses in attendance
he would have been dead man before
this. And this re.ult would not have
been owing to lack of skill or lack
OF conveniences but because of too
much Of these good things-in other
words the case would have been over
done and the patients life would have
been the forfeit. In Hodges case, his
physician thinks that the crisis was
passed yesterday and that he will con-
tinue to improve from this time on.
His temperature this morning was
l0l, showing that the fever is leaving
and with an absence of fever his re-
covery is only amatter Of time.
There is no indication that the in
jured man will ever recover his voice.
He converses in whispers and his
power of making vocal sound ap-
pears to be totally gone, but even this
condition may be overcome with his
further recovery.
The men responsible for his condition,
Max Spahr and J. A. Baird were given
into the custody of Sheriff Clements,
yesterday morning by Chief of Police
Kane and they were taken to Madison
blythe county officer on the II o'clock
train, where they will be kept in the
county Jail until Hodges RECEIVERS suf-
ficiently to appear against them at their
preliminary examination, which may be
neld some time this week There was
no excitement over the removal of the
prisoners. They were handcutfed to
gether and followed by the sheriff they
proceeded to the train with scarcely
any interest in them being manifest.

HAD MONEY LEFT.
Carnival Committee Refunds Nearly
One-Third of Subscriptions.

Carnival Committee Refunds Nearly
One-Third of Subscriptions.
The committee that had charge of the
recent carnival are proud of the fact
that they have been able to return to
contributors nearly one-third of their
subscriptions. When the storm killed
practically all the advertised features of
the carnival and prevented people at
tending, the committee looked for moth
ing better than shortage in funds, and
for while the aim was to keep that
shortage down as low as possible. But
the last day, with its bright sunshine,
changed conditions materially, for the
people ON the streets induced conces-
sionaires to open up for business and
pour little money into the treasury.
After paying all bills it was found that
there were $13672 to be distributed
among subscribers, amounting to 3034
per cent of the amount subscribed.
The distribution was made yesterday
by President Luikart of the Com
mercial club, who took receipts from
each one for the amount refunded.
The following statement shows re-
ceipts and disbursements of the COM
mittee, which statement has been ap-
proved and signed by w. N. Huse, J. @.
Stitt, @. d. Jenkins, r. b. Weller and
II. A. Pasewalk, committee.

fell from the Sites bound Clear

the accident resulting in four

A few days ago Capt. Lomax, of

that he should at least have shot
and not be treated as he was in the
Mississippi bear hunt. Captain
Lomax now has reply from the
White House, signed by Secretary
Geo. B. Cortelyou, acknowledging
the courtesy to the president, but
not specifically stating whether he
could attend. But since the pres.
