Suicide at SpottsWOod.

Spottswood. Feb. 2S.-Our people
were shocked Yesterday afternoon when
it was learned that Homer Dull, son
of Mr.. G. g. Dull, late of Mint Spring,
had committed suicide. He was only
about Is years of age. and for some time
had been staying with bis uncle, Mr..
G. l.. Dull. one of our merchants as
clerk Nothing unusual had been no.
ticed in his conduct, and the news of
his tragic death came to his grief strick-
en- family and the community like a
thunder bolt from clear sky. About
O'clock he left the store taking with
him Mr.. Dull's revolver, with all the
chambers loaded, and went to the sta
BILE to hitch the horse to the carriage
for his uncle, after bringing the vehicle
to the front of the house be went to a
room where baled straw was stored and
fastened the door, and from appearances
lay down on the straw, and from the
statement of Mr.. Lowman, who was
at work near the house, fired three
shots in quick succession, all of which
took effect just under the centre OF
the breast bone, one of which evident
ly passed through his heart, for when
found short time afterward he was
quite dead. There was found a note
pinned to his coat telling his family
good bye, and asking them not to
grieve for him as he was going to a
better world.
No cause is known for this sad, &C.
currence as he was seemingly in per-
feet health and good spirits. He was
a boy of pleasant address, even DISPOSE
tion and with every prospect of long
and useful life. His father. mother,
sister and little brothers have the
heartfelt sympathy of the whole COM
munitY.
Miss Blanche Hess, of our town, has
been for several days confined to her
room on account of sickness.

We learn that the opponents of Gov.

plan to further the candidacy of Sena-
ator John M. Whitehead of GAINESVILLE,
for the governorship. committee
consisting of one thoroughly represen-
tative Republican from each congress
sional district has been appointed to
aid the movement by securing the
names OF as many Republicans as pos
sible to II call requesting Senator
Whitehead to become the candidate.
The member selected for the tenth dis
trict is Mr.. G. $. Curtis of this city.
The work according to the plan laid
out, rs stated in the Milwaukee, Sen
tinel OF Wednesday, viii be to secure
the cooperation OF the Republican
leaders in all the counties OF the slate,
and the selection Of the men named
above is in itself Il guarantee that the
plans will be vigorously prosecuted.
AS representative Republicans, with
not only II wide political acquaintance
ship, but personal one as we'll, the
efforts of these men will be directed
toward securing the signatures Of ali
Republicans who believe that the pre-
sent situation in the party warrants
the adoption of practical plans TO Sc
cure the candidacy of n man whose
nomination, in their opinion, will be u
guarantee of harmonious party action.
They believe that Senator Whitehead's
record before the people of this state is
such that he possesses great posi- BILE
political strength, and as conservative
Republicans look upon the crisis in
party affairs as one calling for the
united action of all Republicans who
oppose the policies of the present ex-

The Race Problem
IN The Senate.

The race problem came up in the
Senate yesterday 1t was inadvertenC-
ly dragged in by Senator Tillman OF
South Carolina, who, with his usual
bad manners, undertook TO su"ject Sen
ator Spooner to a running fire Of inter-
ruptions, while the latter was speaking
on the subject of the Philippine tar II
Lill, Spooner as had happened in the
past, proved more than match for the
South Carolina bushwacker, who found
himself impaled upon the prongs of his
own pitchfork, and squirmed in vain TO
get off.
Senator Spooner was explaining that
the pending measure is simply a tempo
rary expedient to provide revenue for
the Philippine Islands. Tillman asked
if the Philippine Islands are part of
the United States and was recommend
to read the Supreme court decisions.
Tillman referred to the conflict of opin-
ions in the court and said he could not
make much out of them. Senator
Spooner responded: 1.-THE Supreme
court settled one thing, and that is that
there is distinction between the
United States and territory belonging
TO the United States"
This logically disposed of the man
from South Carolina; but at a later
stage he popped up with question as
30 whether the Platt amendment had
been defeated the Republican side of
Senate would have had courage to call
an extra session.
ave have courage enough on this
side," said Senator Spooner, s'to do
anything on earth"
Except defend the negro" snarled
Tillman.
1--WE have not courage enough to
lynch coiored men or deprive them of
their rights" was Senator Spooner's
instant reply, and it cut the South Car
DINA negro-hater to the bone.
"Does the Senator desire to discuss
race question here?" Tillman INQUIRED.
"He seems to have left the proposition
which he started on to throw personal
ding at me. I am ready to meet him
ON the race question"
This was curiously illogical whine,
since the race question had been intro
duced by Tillman himself, and since no
one but Tillman is to blame if mention
of the Southern crimes of lynching col
ored citizens and depriving them of
their political rights cannot be made
upon the floor of the Senate without
being construed as personal fling at
Tillman.
Senator Spooner thwarted the effort
