THE GHOST OF rHs HAUNTED TAVERN.

no one has expressed a desire to rent
the place. This is due to the many
queer things that have happened in the
tavern.
During a stormy night a few days
ago Wilbur Thompson, farmer, was
passing the place, when he heard I'M
canny sounds proceeding from the old
building. Weird shrieks followed by
loud poundings, which came from the
tumbled down structure caused
Thompson to ride at full speed into
Hopewell and tell of his terrifying ex.
nerience.

yards wide and 200 yards long.

Secretary shaw's Attention to this

of some people that he makes his appear

Of absorbing the financial system Of all
Europe in three months are no longer

hitherto unknown to him he seeks privacy
rather than publicity when his shoes gather
the dust Of the Capital. Once upon a time
he hunted up the representatives Of the
press, gave them written statements Of his

The erstwhile prophet could do nothing
but stand and gaze in futile astonishment
when Little6eld's shafts penetrated his
hardened cuticle, and in his bout with
Pete Hepburn he showed up about like a
tottering lay figure as against an all around

skin as fast as he could put it on, uudis-
mayed by the music of his bray and un-

It is doubtful, however, if the subsidy

Push the Work.

Southern Democrats who only have to
count their maiorities in Congressional dis
tricts can scarcely realize the value of tax
ing time by the forelock and pushing the
work of the campaign in close Congress
sional districts above the Mason and Dixon
line. It all very we'll to feel ones way as
he goes, or to avoid the error of making
haste slowly, but it is unwise and traceable
to Southern conditions to express doubts
on a too early organization or Inauguration
of the Congressional campaign.
There is not Democrat in the fighting or
close districts who does not feel that the
Congressional Committee ought to be al
work, and in full swing month ago, in
stead OF being still in its preliminary stages
of organization. However, the meeting of the
committee the past week has given promise
that the work will now be pushed forward
Chairman Griggs will appoint the cam
paign committee in few days, and the
real work of electing Democratic Con-
gress will commence and with every indi-
cation of a triumphant termination to its

Mr.. KEENAN, has lectured many times

been on his travels in Russia, and ST.
IBERIA and in the Caucasus. Although
somewhat advanced in years and his
strength and health impaired by the
rigors of his travels and the depriva-
lions he underwent in those countries
which do not afford the pleasures and
comforts of modern travel, Mr.. KEENAN,
never lets an opportunity pass where

picture the political conditions in the

The Body of Walter Laing Recover
ed Mar Where He Lost His Life.
The body of Walter E. Laing, the
young man who was drowned in the
Ogeechee river at Ways Station last
Sunday, an account of which appeared
in the Morning News Monday, was
found yesterday near the seaboard Air
Line bridge.
1t was brought up by the tide not a
great distapce from where young LANG
went in. 1t is supposed that he went
into the river for a swim. His bicycle
and his clothes were found on the bank
of the river several hours after the
time he was supposed to have gone
into the water. There were no evil
dences of foul play. The body showed
no bruises and there is no theory other
than that the young man was accident
ally drowned.
Laimgs home was near Jackson, Ga.
When he disappeared last week his
father, DR.. Laing of Jackson was noti-
fed and came to Savannah with a sis
ter of young Laing. After learning all
they could here they went to Ways
Station and were there when the body
was recovered.
The drowned man was graduate of
Emory College of the class of 1901.
He was a member of the Phi Gamma
Society and was an honor man in 1895
He was "a years old and a man of eX-
cellent habits and character.
