ARP AND HIS WIFE.
Alone in Big House Because Their
Daughters Are Away Visiting.
BIn Arp Tells OF Man Who Plays
Kuklux Leader and whom He
Helped to Escape Capture by
Northern Authorities.

Lord Bacon said; "Wives are young
mems mistresses, companions for mid
die age and old mems nurses" There
is truth in that and my wife is nursing
me now. Our girls have gone OF one
to wedding and the other to Atlanta
on a visit. l told them to 20, for they
had been peilned up here with me for
four long months and their mother
said she would take care of me until
they returned. get along pretty well
during the day, but at night my cough
is distressing and my wife has to dose
me with various remedies until get
to sleep. The rain has come at last
and purified the air and feel better.
Yes, we two are alone in great big
house. She sits in her accustomed cor

aloud to her and when meal time
comes she sits at one end of the table
aAd at the other, and that's all.
Old Father Gibbons came nine miles
yesterday to see me and to invite me
and my wife to his birthday dinner
Next week he will be 80 years old and

comfort in meeting his friends and

His brother was a game man and had
been colonel in the confederate
army. When the carpet -baggers and
mean niggers overrun their section
and plundered every rebels home the
colonel organized band of avengers
and played kuklux among them and
whipped them and ran them off and
later they came back with federal Of
ticers and the colonel and his band had
to leave to save their lives. Not long
after the colonel had settled in Rome
the Virginia carpet t-baggers got mil
itary orders for his arrest and trans
portation to Virginia for trial. A dep
uty marshal and another fellow came
secretly to Rome, but the colonel had
already been advised of their coming

the road to Kingston, and he knew the
rest of the way, 1t was about three
o'clock when we reached the place and
saw the gin house out in the field.
There we stopped and he took refuge
in it and told me to tie my horses out
in the bushes and then go down and
rouse up his brother. This is the
old man who asked us to come and
dine with him. When knocked at the
door he came in his night clothes and
said: "Who is that and what do you

WAR UPON COAL PIRATES.
Coal shippers VIII Protect Their
Cargoes Against Pirates by
Means of Armed Guards.

New York, Nov. 24.-Coal shippers
of Port Reading, Perth Amboy, Port
Johnson and Elizabethport have or
ganized vigilance committee to pro-
tect their cargoes of coal in transit
by water to New York. Enormous
amounts of coal are lost yearly by
shippers owing to the depredations
of the pirates who have become so
bold that they sell their stolen goods
openly at piers here. Hereafter each
barge will have an armed guard,
whose orders will be to shoot anyone
approaching his barge and who fails
to answer challenge.

WOMEN ACT AS WINE AGENTS.
Reduced Society Leaders Find Con-
genial and Profitable Occupa-
tIOn, Says This Account.

A gentleman travelling for COM
mercial house has discovered new
occupa tion in which women are en-
gaging, reports New York exchange.
II came across something pretty new
in the new woman line up in Boston
the other day." he says--"a woman
whisky drummer. She was a good
looking, neatly dressed woman, well
under the middle age, and she was
selling whisky by the barrel in sa-
looms and restaurants just exactly in
the same fashion that the male whisky
drummers sell it. She lives, when she's
at home, in New York, and has the New
England territory to cover for her
firm. She is businesslike and direct in
her methods, without having anything
mannish about her, and she does
mighty well at the business. She told
me that she had never been insulted,
or, in fact, treated with anything but
courtesy in the thousands of saloons
that she has visited since she took
up her odd business for woman.
She doesn't make any attempt to
work her edge as a woman in order
to sell her goods, but disposes of them
squarely on their merits in competi-
tion with the agents who wear trou-
sers on the wing for whisky houses.
But she told me that there was one
exceedingly disagreeable feature
about the business1or her, and, great
Scott ] should think It would bel
She has, she says, to drink from 10 to
100 glasses Of the hard stuff a day,
Just like the male whisky seller, but
they must be all drinks of whole lot
less than finger each, for I'll swear
that she doesn't look it. She doesn't
particularly care what her friends
think about her entering upon such an
occupation, having. as she says, her
ownliving tomake, and feeling disposed
to make it IN way that she has dis
covered TO he the most profitable for
her. She amusedly remarked, how
ever, that she has great dread Of ever
meeting up with Carrie Nation, and
not long ago when the killed hatchet
wielder from Kansas was ia New

who happened to be there at the same
time, ssys that she skedaddIed out Of

DR.. LoRENZ' ST. LOUIS VISIT.
The Celebrated Vtennese Specialist
Performs Seven Operations
in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Nov. 24.-Dr. Adolf Lorenz,
who held a public clinic at the poly
clinic hospital, Saturday, treating
four cases of hip disease, treated three
more cases Sunday, at the same place,
but, unlike the demonstration of Sat
urday, the treatment was admins
tered privately and no lectures were
given by the surgeon during the op-
Grafton.
One of the patients was seven
year-old girl, whose father brought
her from Rawlings, Wyo., to be treat
ed by the man whose fame is world
wide. She was afflicted with a dislo-
cation of the right hip.
All the operations are said to have
been successful, and the physicians
hope for the ultimate recovery of all.

New Haven with such speed that she
scarcely took time to dress.
"There are nowadays quite num-
Der of women champagne agents in
New York and there is one Of them
who operates in Washington, too, dur
ing the winters, but of course their
methods Of selling the product Of
their employing firms are not SO
straight out as those of this woman
whisky drummer. Most of them are
reduced society women, who, search
ing about for some method whereby
TO pad their incomes, have hit upon
the champagne rivalry as offering
them profitable field, and they make
money. The word tout isn't exactly
a pleasant one, but these women wine
agents are really champagne touts.
They induce their friends and acquaint-
ances to use their firms brands Of
champagne on occasions Of festivity,
and not few Of them have been
known TO go after business in connec-
tion with hotels and cafes but they
do this in roundabout way. The
woman champagne agent who covers
Washington during the social seasons
is Baltimore woman with wide ac-
quaintaneeship among highly placed
people in Washington, as well as i'm the
monumental city, and among these
people she is as skillful recon.
mender' of the BRAND of fzzy goods She
is employed to purvey as any male
wine agent ever met up with. pc
culiar fact in connection with her Is
that she has never tasted a drop of
champagne or any other intoxicating
liquor in her life out Of principle.
But she freely, If somewhat naiveiy,
admits that she is only going to apply
the principle TO herself as long as
ther is chance for her to make some.

Treasurer Lampton'. Bond.

The bond of State Treasurer
hampton will be made in two surety
companies instead of one. The en-
tire bond for quarter of a million
dollars was made by one company,
which promptly re-insured the part
it did not care to carry. A further
examination of the law, however,
has revealed the fact that the surety
company cannot make an official
Mississippi bond for over one-tenth
of the amount of its capital stock.
The company in question has a cap
ital of 81, 800, 1000, and it can, there
fore, under this provision, only make
the bond for 100000. The rest of
the bond, amounting to 100000,
will be placed in another company.

the first shot hitting Mcbride.

his dislike in this way.

In a difficulty at Walden between
Henry Nelson and Singleton Wilks,
the latter was shot and killed. The
tragedy created a great deal of ex-
citement, as several shots were fired.
Wilks was drinking and some un-
guarded expression precipitated the
difficulty. There had been no bad
blood between the men, so far as
known.
