Louisville & Nashville recently ac-
quired the Atlanta, Knoxville & North
ern road. This road was sold in 1896
at foreclosure and was bought by
group of capitalists headed by Henry
X. McHarg. The price paid at that
time was $1,OOO,O 900 and the company
was subsequently bonded for that
amount. Later, an additional bonded
debt of 81 800, 600 was placed upon the
property. This 81 800, 600 was last year
exchanged for preferred stock, making
the roads capitalization 81 900, 600 in

Gen. Wade Hampton Owned 1000 Slaves.

Gen. Wade Hampton Owned 1900 Slaves.
Every child in the south, born before
1870, has heard the phrase, "Rieh IS
Wade Hampton" because it survived
many years after the fortunes OF war
had made Gen. Hampton Q poor man.
1t survived by force of habit. And
perhaps the is not in the south son or
daughter of former slave-owner past
five and thirty who does not recall the
story of Wade Hampton and his slaves.
This story ran that Wade Hampton
was riding along a highway that led
through one of his numerous planta-
tions when he met "likely" negro
"fellow" likely" is an old southern
ism meaning fine, and with 'fellow''
was applied alone to first-class slaves.
He drew reign and accosted the slave
thus:
"You are likely fellw-who do you
belong to?"
"Wade Hampton, SIR"
"Ah And who is Wade Hampton2' p
"Please, sir, master, you mus b'

ton is de berry fust gemmun in de souf.
The story used to be told to illustrat'
the greatness in numbers Of WadI
Hampton's slaves; his own slaves dit
not know him by sight-that 10, hmm
dreds of them did not. The slaves h
owned numbered thousands, and h,
was, therefore, the largest slave-owne

We have made up our mind to boy
colt Memphis from this time henceforth
and forever. We have hearn some
hard stories about that town, and we
went down there to inspect the situa
ton fer ourself. Well, it's all true.
Memphis is no good no more. We went
over to see our friend Mr.. Oofty Swipes
of 59G Main street and found the place
shut up. A fireman told us that our
friends were all in Jail. Then we went
up town and fer q time things was
coming our way and we acquired a
marked down jag. After supper we
fggered on taking in the theater, and
we found our way to place down on
Beale street. We thought the audi
ence had kind of seal brown look,
but we had an impediment in our eye
sight and WASH seeing we'll that night.
When the show was over we found
that we had been in nigger theater.
It was after 10 o'clock when we got up
town, and all the thirst cures were
closed. Next day we found that the
whole town was mad at Judge Latham
because he wants to put in meters and
make the people use less water. We
are with Judge Latham on this propo-
sition. He is a gentleman and schol-
ar, but they are going to beat him.
And to this past has Memphis come.

A Poet Commissioner.

Mr.. Ware, of Kansas, who has been
appointed to succeed Pension Commits
sioner Evans, is poet. 1t was Mr..
Ware who perpetrated the following
punning verses on Dewey after the
battle of Manila:
Oh, Dewey was the morning
That Dewey first of Nav
And Dewey was the admiral
Down in Manila Bay.
And Dewey are the regents orbs,
Those eyes of heavenly blue,
And Dewey feel discouraged?
Il. We Dew not think we Dew.
With such remarkable aptitude as q
poet, we may expect the new pension
commissioner, when he becomes estab-
lished in office, to issue an edict some
thing after this fashion:
"Oh, pension claimant eager,
My pen shun if you dare;
And if your claims amt honest,
Beware, beware of Ware.

The district court gave Halvorsen judgment

it, without specification. From this the
plaintiffs appealed. -.
