more exercised and indignant than
Mr.. Mccall himself that his in.
valuable service to old Sukey Jack.
son and themselves should have
been made the basis of an attack
upon his integrity.
Neither these people nor any
others of the many hundreds, white
aud coloIed, who have had business
aud monetary dealings with Henry
Mccall during the past thirty years
or more, can be induced to place .
moments credence In auy state
ment which lmpugns III the slight
est degree his character for fair and
honorable dealing. Perhaps no
planters In the state have displayed
greater fairness, generosity and
practical philanthropy in their relA-
tions with their employees aud de.
pendents than the MCCALL Bros.
firm, of which Henry Mccall has
been tor many years the managing
head. 1t is the irony Of fate and
the acme of political chicanerY and
sharp practice that such q man
should have been selected as the
target for such slander.
The evidence TO be LAID before
President Roosevelt and the senate
committee on commerce, to which
Mr.. McCalls nomination has been
referred, cannot fail to clear his
character from any taint of DIS
honesty, and we think It may be
taken for granted that the confirma
tion of his appointment will speed
lily follow. The political objec
tious urged against him, emanatinR
from an insignificant faction of dis
gruntled Republicans, are 90 more
worthy Of credence than the attscl
on his personal character. As ths
principal leader IN the movement
that carried . large body Of th'
best citizens OF this state into th,
Republican ranks eight years ago
it is particularly appropriate tha
he should occupy this high ofiicia
STATION. Personally, politically, 90
cially and from q business etand

We are all familiar with the phrase

we'll who the author was. We do not
know who originated the truism, His
tory repeats ITSELF" but it is true all the
same; and here is another illustration:
One stormy dayIlast winter, while writing
up the locals, we had occasion to speak
of monthly rose bush in full bloom
near by. and how the sight of it tended
to soften the rigor of the day, like a
sunbeam streaming through the window.
To-day it is winter again and dreary
enough outside, but that same rose bush
is in bloom, just as it was a year ago,
and the tendancy is to render the sur
roundings more pleasant and endurable
as before. That's history repeating it
self.
Now the deer can go and come as they
please till next October, and the law is
supposed to protect them. Perhaps
they will be less particular about keep

LOWELL,

There was quite a collision on tn,
bridge at the village Thursday evening
Mr.. Carl Hanscom, who is logging from
Sweden with oxen, was coming with
load of logs, and was passed at the toI
OF the hill by one of FoI's horse teams
AS they descended the hill the road haC
become smooth, and the oxen were
unable to hold the load. Hanscom find
ing he could not keep the pace sprane
away from them, and Fox's driver
whipped his horses up and kept out OF
the way, but both teams met the stage
on the bridge. Fox's team passed safely
but the nigh OK took his way along on
the side of the coach, breaking the
fender and wrecking it considerably.
Mr. Charles, the driver, and passenger
were thrown out, striking on the bridge
railing. The horses were not seriously
hurt.
