Waterbury Democrat., 1902-07-09

Senator Vest, who, perhaps, may be said, to belong to the old school, does bot regard the fall elections with as much hope as his colleague from Geor- gia. Speaking on the prospects Sat urday the Little Giant from Missouri said: "It is useless to protest against the Philippine policy now. If the re- publican leaders can continue the present boom they will carry the fall elections and the next presidential cleo tion. Of course they are in alliance with the trusts. That no thinking man can deny. The sugar trust, for instance. was powerful enough to de feat the house bill providing for reef proclty with Cuba and in their general legislation they have shown conclus. lively their intention not to attack the trusts in any way. Nevertheless, while the farmers and manufacturers continue to receive high prices for their products. the republican party will continue to remain i'll power. As to the fall elections, I am not cer- tain that much would be gained by tue democrats if they carried the house. Sooner or later financial reyulsion Is bound to come and if It should come while the democrats were in possess ion of the house the politicians would persuade the people that the democrats were responsible for the reversal of
 republican prosperity. When the re yulsion comes the democrats will be refnstated, but not till then. That is my Judgment and I am sorry if it diff. fers from tie opinion of other mem bers of my party. .,..

CULLEOkA.

Culleoka. April 2S.-For us al
''some day the silver cord will
break, but 50 calmly, 20 peacefully,
we fear we will not be able to ''see
Him face to face as did our loved
friend. Miss Alvie Gracey. Our &C.
quaintance began in our school DAYS
years ago and tho we have not seen a
great deal of each other for a few
years. never can we forget Alive &
lovely face and equally lovely charac-
ter. Not one harsh or unkind word
did we ever hear from this room
mate. and her exceeding care in dress
department and everything live in our
memory as sweet benediction. AS
she lived, so she died. Her illness of
several months duration promised to
be fatal from the first, but her sweet
spirit was bright with hope until
death really came upon her the morn
ing of April 30. 1902, when she recog-
nized the end was at hand. Until one
O'Clock the morning of April 30. she
filled her last hours to the fullest

loved ones, loving good-byes to those
about her bed. and planning every.
thing to the minuest detail conserving

The funeral services were conducted
at Evergreen church Wednesday after
noon by Rev. j. Nj. Brown, the loved
minister of her childhood, girlhood
and womanhood. Rev. Wheeler assist

had the good man been speaking of his
own daughter it could not have been
with more tenderness and truer in
sight into her character. On the
younger sister who gave up her posi-
tion as teacher in Texas to be with her
sister for the past four months the blow
falls hardest, for seldom were sisters so
devoted. The father and brother, the
aunt at whose home she was taken too
i'll to ever be moved, all feel that with
Alvie went their sweetest sunshine.
We can't speak words to comfort, but
as the father said, ''Alvie herself said
everything comforting mortal could

CUT HIS THROAT.

A special from Waverly to the Nash
vile American says:
Sunday night johnson Twomey
entered the store of Add. CQbel, at
Lobellville. and began cursing Cobel,
threatening to kill him, and advancing
on him with a knife. Cobel shot at
him, but, failing to stop him, de-
Tended himself with knife, cutting
Twomey fifteen times. the last stroke
cutting his throat from ear to ear and
killing him.
"Twomey was very drunk when he
entered the store, hence the difficulty.
They were neighbors and had always
been friends.

ty near the Hickman line, and the par
ties to the affair are known in Maury
county.

SCHOOL BOYS QUARREL
Results in Allen Matthews Being
Painfully Hurt.

|
Allen Matthews, aged about fifteen
years. son of Mr.. J. G. Matthews, and
Desmond Davis. aged about eighteen,
the son of Mr.. BROOKS Davis, had an
alteration on the play ground at the
McCains school Tuesday afternoon.
The boys were at play, when a quarrel
took place over some trivial matter.
Hard words led to blows, and Davis
struck Matthews over the head with a
baseball bat. The blow rendered. the
youth unconscious for several hours,
and for awhile it was thought that the
injury would result seriously. He
has been improving since then how
ever, and the injury is not now
considered dangerous.
Young Davis was not arrested, as the
unfortunate affair was merely the
outgrowth of school boys quarrel.
