sOUTHERN'S PRESIDENT
Sends Message to Atlanta and Mo
bile Explaining Situation,

President Samuel Spencer, OF
the Southern Railway, Wednesday
sent the following telegram to S.
M. 1nman, of Atlanta, one of the
Directors of the Southern and a
member of the Executive Commit
tee of the Board:
"The Louisville & Nashville sit
uation is simply this: Mr.. Gates
and his associates, apparently
without any consultation with any
railroad interest in the South or
elsewhere, and entirely on their
own account, bought, in the open
market, large blocks of Louisville
& Nashville stock, claimed now to
be clear majority.
"By reason of a large short in
terest, growing partially out of the
sale by the Louisville & Nashville
Company of $4,000 shares-an au-
thorized additional issue of treas
ury stock-which was not listed
and therefore not a good delivery
on the Exchange, a serious corner
was imminent. j. p. Morgan &
Co. were appealed to to use their
influence to prevent such a disas-
trous condition. After two DAYS
negotiations this has resulted in an
agreement by which the Gates
stock will be deposited with, and
placed under the control of j. P.
Morgan & Co. as bankers and not
as representing any railway inter
est, and with no purr use e. p. to
conserve in the best possible way
the general financial and business
situation and avoid the serious
complications which have threat
ened.
'The Southern Railway Compa-
ny has had and has no interest, di-
rectly or indirectly, present or
prospective, in the purchase of the
L. & N. stock, or in the
deposit as above With j. P. Nor
gan & Co. There is no contest for
the control Of the L. & N. by any
other railroad company and not
lilely to be certainly not by
the Southern.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

TO-DAY and tomorrow the veter-
ans of the sixties IN the Confederate
army from different portions of the
county Will be here to get aboard
the cars bound for the Dallas reun-
ion. Some of the sons and daugh-
ters will also be among them. There
will not be many more reunions of
the old heroes of the lost cause.
One by one they drop out and before
the new century has far advanced
there will not be a voice to answer
the roll call. The old comrades will
see only a few more campfres on
this side of the great beyond, where
the blue and gray will meet in
grand reunion; where they will join
the impregnable forces of Old HEX
DRY, the Minute men and the heroes
of many wars. Around the camp
fires Of that eternal city the souls
of these stalwart sires and sons will
stack their arms in the bonds of
peace and unity. There will be no
sections and strifes, no taps nor
bugle calls, but the tales recounting
the deeds of kindness and the union
of brotherhood will be chief among
the blessings of their new enroll
ment.

THE MADDENING poLINKY.
A Drink of the Pennsylvania Region
That Makes Demons Of the
Men.

The coal region foreigner of Wilkes
barre, Pa, has reputation for law
lessness which comes from stories of
murders and assaults committed by
him, of fights at wedding celebrations
and at christenings and of rioting on
payday nights. For all these per-
formances polinky is to blame, says
the New York Sun. 1t is necessary in
order to enjoy the payday night ca
rousal properly for the foreign coal
miner to be drunk and he achieves this
condition with polinky. The men who
invented polinky were too short OF
cash to buy whisky alone, and beer
did not have sufficient effect on them.
So polinky was invented and it has
served its purpose, producing about
the most devilish fighting drunk that
was ever possessed by man.
The receipt is simple. First is need
ed wash tub. Sometimes this is not
so clean as it might be, but that is a
trivial matter.
Half key of beer is emptied into II.
and into the beer is put about a gall
lon of whisky, rank, raw whisky.
Some spices are added to taste, and the
mixture is thoroughly stirred. Serve
in anything and replenish to suit the
thirst.
Given proper quantity of polinky,
christening or wedding feast which
starts at eight will become lively at
ten and will produce fight at II and.
with little effort, murder at ~. If
not the murder then there will be a
general free fight in which all sorts
of weapons are used except the polinky
tub.
So demora,izing are these payday
fights and the consequent murders and
injuries, that the police now stop.
them in the incipient stage wherever
possible. and in the last year or so
they have become less frequent. But
they still prevail in many Of the small
err coal villages.

REFLECTIONS OF A SICK MAN.

When the doctor comes, he always
laughs at you.
The neighbors never worry about
your illness rs much as you thought
they would.
People come around the house you
never saw before; the milk man, the
ice man, the wash woman.
When you are hungry you are
ashamed to acknowledge it, and, if
your nurse is very particular, you
are liable to suffer from hunger.
When the medicine makes you sick,
and you complain to the doctor, he
says: That's what I expected;
that's what 1 intended it to do"

Hayti striving to Rival Cuba.

According to a report from United
States Minister Powell at Port au
Prince, Haiti will soon rival Cuba in
the production of tobaccos. Already
a new species of tobacco has been pro-
duced by cross-fertilization in Haiti,
known as Diqueney, from the place
where it grows, and which is said to
surpass in many respects the finest
Cuban grades. The special advan-
tages of Haiti. Mr.. Powell says, are its
equable climate, freedom from hurri-
canes, and fertility of the soil, which
has not been exhausted by long cult.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
I LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.
They Say the Land There IL the Fin

A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. j. s. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac II. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and 1 am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
hood this spring. When I located here
last Fall I was the furthest back of
any of the settlers, to-day am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have SO children that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. 1 have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 160
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth Ct stock.

this will be good winter wheat

AN AWKWARD SITUATION.
ChiId's Interpretation of a Parents
INNOCENT Remark Creates Con-
sternation In the Household.

The yonng pastor of small. struS
Cling church in the suburbs of Brook
Ign is a clean-shaven man with face
of an ecclesiastic and almost ascetic
type. One day lately, relates the New
York Tribune, a woman who is one of
his most active parishionefs, speaking
to her husband of the characteristics
of the young minister, said:
"Mr. - looks to me good deal like
a monk"
The topic of conversation then
changed, and neither parent noticed
that their six-year-old daughter was
lost in deep. thought. A night or two
later the clergyman dropped in for a
pastoral call, and the daughter of the
house observed him silently, but with
penetration. Finally. when there was
lull in the conversation, she of the
six years remarked:
mamma, 1 don't think Mr.. -
looks like monkey"
The minister turned crimson. and the
parents, as soon. as they recalled the
origin of the chi,d's remark, went into
elaborate explana lions, which includ-
ed the foreshortened word for simian
used by urchins. The minister APP
parently accepted the explanations,
and tried to set the two valued menu
bers of his flock at ease with ocular
reference to the Darwinian theory.
Now the parents of the young zoologist
are so worried lest there was some
mental reservation in the acceptance
of their explanations that they have
increased their weekly contribution to
square themselves.
