Hay and Swanson.

Much talk has arisen in political circles
lately over the alleged GOODNESS existing
between congressman Hay and Swanson
oil Virginia. due to the failure of the lat
ter TO promise to support the former in
his candidacy for speakership of the next
House, should that body be Democratic.
IL is not believed that the differences are as
serious as reported. It,is said that Mr..
Swanson had committed himselffor Mr..
Richardson, of Tennessee, before learn
ing OF Mr.. Hays aspirations With this
exception, all the members Of the Vir-
ginia delegation are urging the claims
Of Mr.. Hay and giving him their hearty
support, for he has already attained
much prominence in Congress, and IL re-
eognized as one who. as Speaker, would
reflect much credit on his party

THE CROSS WAY.
Written by the Rev Edmund c. Muir
daugh in October, 1861

Low before Thy footstooi now,
|, poor sinner. trembling bow;
Jesus, Master hear me plead,
Hear in this sad hour OF need.
Thou art my hope, my only stay,
All trust aside cast away;
Thy precious blood, thine agony.
Thy dying prayer, Thy last sad cry;
Thy crowning vict'ry in the hour,
When Death and Hell were in their power:
These are my hopes, for in thy blood
My soul was washed-Ahl precious fioodl
My soul is bought tbs Thine Lord, Thine.
Let not this stubborn will OF mine
Lift up itself in sinful might
To rob Thee of Thy dear bought right.
Make will and heart together move
That bound to Thee with cords of love,
From Thee again, may not stray,
But follow in the Cross way.
The Cross way, can refuse,
When tbs the path which Thou didsr
choose2
oh, Master, help-Thy love | plead
Grace to convert, direct, | need
To all of sin fain would die,
Help me myself to cruelty,
And make me glad, from day to day,
To follow in the Cross way.

Emery Floyd Must Answer There
for Many Crimes.
Waycross. Ga. Aug. 29.-Sheriff
Sessions of Horny county, South Car
DINA, accompanied by his deputy, A.
C. Murrell, arrived in Waycross this
morning with requisition papers for
Emery Floyd, the white man who was
captured here last Tuesday afternoon,
after an exciting chase through the
public streets. They left with their
prisoner for Conway, S. c., at 10 o'clock
tonight.
Sheriff Sessions is greatly pleased
over the capture of Floyd. He says
that the man has been badly wanted
in Conway for months past. 1t seems
that Floyd will have a number of
things to answer for when he returns
to Conway.
Besides the six warrants out against
him for selling horses that were not
his own, it is claimed that he misap-
propriated a large sum of money that
belonged to other parties. Sheriff
Sessions believes that Floyd is thor
oughly desperate man, and will do ev-
erything to prevent his being carried
back to Conway.
Floyd stated yesterday to one of
the policemen who arrested him here
that he regretted very much that the
Offices did not shoot to kill when he
was trying to escape them last Tues
day. He said that he preferred death
to being carried back to Conway.
1t is reported here that Floyd had
revolver and Winchester rifle con-
cealed in a house in this city, and he
was trying to get to the arms after
he first escaped from the officers. He
has a sister here with whom he was
staying. He has a father. and several
brothers and sisters in Conway.

yard men and others. Nothing Off

MlLNER GETS HIS LIBERTY.
Alleged Rapist, Freed From Blame
Released From Jail.

Atlanta, Aug. 29.-George Miner. the
negro who was supposed to have COM
nlitted assault on a prominent wom-
an in Walker county on July T. was
to-day given his liberty by order of
the Governor.
The negro being in Fulton county Jail
the Governor telephoned Sheriff helms
to release him. Miner was brought
from Butts county, where he was ar
rested and incarcerated in the Fulton
county Jail. at the time of his capture,
to avoid lynching. He has been exon
Grated by the parties concerned and
therefore was set free.
a strange coincidence is that the
negro who committed the assault had
scar over his left eye which is iden-
teal with the scar over the right eye
of Miner.
