"GROVER" AND "DAN,u

From the New York Times
1T Is seldom that a Pres-eyt of the
United States feels called upon to pro-
claim that his private secretary doesn't
drink" said Congressman Bartholdt of
ST. Louis the other day. But Grover
Cleveland did it once, and Col Dan La
mont was the private secretary. 1t was
this way: Cleveland was on his first trip
to the Mississippi and was reviewing the
parade in his honor in my town. The
day was chill, and the Mayor, after the
parade had been going on about an hour
whispered to Colonel Lamont who had
just come on the stand, that, in view of
the temperature. the President might
like to fortify h mself with little some
thing.
"'Of course he would the Colonel
promptly replied. Haven't you asked
him YETI
mo, the Mayor replied. didn't just
-er--like to-
Go ahead and ask him." said the
colonel, and the Mayor obeyed.
Where is it?' asked the President by
way of reply. and followed the Mayor
ihlo room just OH the STAND. Inc
Mayor set out and charged three glasses
with good old red liquor calculated to
XII the effects of the chilliest of tenn
peratures. The President counted the
glasses and then the people in the room
There were himself, the Mayor and La
mont
who asked the President, is the
third glass for?
"'Why-er.' said the Mayor, .one is for
you. Mr.. President one Is for Colonel
Lamont and one-er-for me-
THE Presidents eyes twinkled. He
took up the glass assigned to Lamont
poured it's contents into his own glass.
and as he raised it to his lips said: Dan
don't drink and swallowed the double
dose at gulp.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
Let me write the bills of nation and
care not who pays them.
There are never any divorces in the
families where the husbands praise the
meals.
A widow never pretends to a man that
she is worried about the way he is inter-
ested in other women; she pretends she
is worried about the way other men are
interested in her.
When girl is in boarding school she
thinks she could never have a husba nd
whose name wasn't Reginald or Percival;
when she is ready to be married and set
tie down Tom or Bill will do as well as
anything else.

ONE MAN, ONE VOTE.

From the Russelvile Times.
A state primary in lieu of convention
is being very generally advocated by the
press of the state. With proper safe
guards thrown around IT, making 1t In
fact as well as name a Democratic pri-
mary, no good reason can be advanced
against a primary plan taking the place
of the Anticipated and very often unfair
convention system, Indeed every argu-
ment of fairness is ON the side of the prl-
mary. BY this plan the vote of one of the
boys in the trenches counts as much as
the self constituted 'leaders.'

CONVENTIONS ARE UNPOPULAR

From the Jackson South Albanian.
We want to go on record as favoring
primary elections. We favor this plan
for several reasons. One is, now that
the negro Is deprived Of the right to vote
he should not be used to further the in
terest of any man. AS long as represen-
tation is based on the population basis,
the negro's vote counts In a convention.
A beat with a dozen white voters may
have more voice in a convention than a.
beat with five hundred white voters
This Is not right. Then, the trading and
trafficking In conventions have rendered
the plan unpopular.

Jefferson's Population.

In 1900 this county had 14O, 40 popula-
tion,' said an observant man yesterday.
Ever since that time 1000 houses year
have been built, and If No. foundry iron
stays above $40 a ton, 1000 houses will
continue to be built each year. Two thou
sand houses means an addition each year
of 10000 people This means that there
will be 100000 people In Jefferson county
when the next census is taken. This
would put Jefferson county far ahead of
Memphis county and somewhat ahead of
Orleans parish, giving it first place in the
South"

DEMOCRATS WANT A CHANGE.
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register
Without asserting that the former meth
DDS of nominating candidates deserve
condemnation, one may nevertheless
maintain that very large number of
Democrats want a change, and Will not
be satisfied unless they get 1t; and 1t rests
with the state executive committee
whether these people shall be kept in the
party or encouraged to put up irdepen-
dent candidates and make appeal to the
people. Therefore, 1t is in the interest of
the party that the primary method of
nominating candidates be employed.

OIL Maanates Here.

Mr.. d. g. Kerr, a prominent oil mag
nate of California, has been in Alabama
several days looking over the oil fields of
the State. He was in Birmingham, and
was in conference with several persons
owning oil lands He has secured options
on several large tracts and it is said Will
commence boring in the near future.
Mr.. Kerr is owner of twelve gushers in
California and is one of the best post ed
oil men in the country. He expects much
from the oil fields of Alabama and it is
said will invest heavily here. He spent
yesterday in Mobile, where he was in con-
ference with several owners of oil fields
in South Alabama.

PRIMARIES GIVE SATISFACTION

From the Dothan Siftings.
The primary question is a live wire
among our State exchanges just now A
great majority of the papers are for the
primary, and it will win in a walk. The
time Is ripe for It, and that will give
more satisfaction than anything else. We
have tried it here in Henry County, and
it certainly is q satisfaction giver. When
you let the people vote 1t appeases them
as nothing else will do.

Should Not Die.

THE passing of the music festival as a
recurring annual event is widely regret
ted said a man who likes music but
can't make it.
1T has been for several years an edu-
oative force of the best sort. The training
of a large chorus was supplemented by
the training of large audiences. No one
can measure the scope of Professor Guck-
enberger's work in this community, and
1t does seem as if the methods he used
so well here might be retained even after
he is gone and a festival given again next
spring"

The Otner Gay IN FREDERICKSBURG SOUTH
erners saw Mr.. Hanna at his best, and he
charmed them as he charms all men who
come within the abundant sunshine of
his genial presence. No man can meet
Mr. Hanna and have speech with him
without feeling something of his overmas-
terng goodheartedness and his transcen-
dant intellectual force, his great human
ism and all-embracing spirit of conrad
cry. To the impulsive and ever-present
good will of our emotional southern ma
ture no other man as a man conspicuous
in our national life is qualified to appeal
half so powerfully as Mr.. Hanna. But
politics has kept him and the south apart,
and in. the partisan sense he and the
south are certain to remain separated. In
notifies 1t is impossible and certainly TN
desirable for the south to come around
to him. Equally impossible and by NM
self undesired is it for him In the poiit-
ieal sense to cross the Potomac. The south
will remain Democratic; Mr.. Hanna will
remain Republican This much is in the
nature of things, and is so evident as to
warrant no discussion.
But a. greatly needed and most urgently
desirable condition is that the south
should know the man Hanna personally
as he is. He already knows the south for
the best it contains, and in the material
and practical sense the south does not
possess on this good April day any other
friend so powerful and so perfectly sim
cere! The man is the very essence Of sin

Appeal From Examiners.

Since the eighth grade examination
papers were returned to this county,
great dissatisfaction has existed with re-
gard to the markings OF the pupils. Not
only were the pupils dissatisfied, but,
the markings were so glaringly incorrect,
that the teachers in many instances pro-
nounced them not only unfair to the
scholars, but dangerous to the cause of
education by creating among the pupils
a feeling that their efforts are not to
receive justice.
Prof. &. G. Hutchinson, OF the Summit
district, has appealed to County Super
intendent Williams from the markings
OF two of his pupils, leila Roberts and
Grace Clancy, and has filed lengthy
statement of the errors complained OF.
The outcome OF the appeal will be
watched with interest in school circles.

Co. are still improving their plant. Their
new dry kiln is nearly completed. AS
soon as possible they will extend their
planning mill and add several planners.
They are now running five-quarter time
cutting lO5, 900 every ten hours. Here
after they will figure more extensively
on eastern trade. They are old eastern
lumbermen and know the business.
The West & Slade Mill Company will
more than double their capacity by the
additions and improvements they are
making. When completed they will run
three band saws, live rolls, cant fippers,
also Pinch gang edger built by the
Portland Iron Works. Their new engine
is a 600 hip. one, and will take it's power
from six boilers. The capacity of the
mill will be $4,000 feet OF lumber daily.
HoQUIAM.
Frank Stencil has bought a new yard
ing engine of the Washington Iron
Works Company, Seattle. He operates
two logging camps on the Humptulips,
one of which recently started. In 1901
he put in 5000, 900 feet OF logs.
1t is stated that Young & Thompson
have the banner record on a days log
ging. In one day with a donkey engine
and ten men they put 127 logs in the
water. Previous to this 105 was the
highest number put in.
The Lyle Logging 4 Mercantile Com
pany, during the year 1901, put 30,0O0,-
600 feet OF logs into Grays Harbor. By
the beginning of the year they had about
$4,000 900 feet in the water. They do
not anticipate an increase OF their out
put in 1902.
The Weston Basket & Manufacturing
Co. burned the latter part of January,
causing loss OF $35 900, with no insur-
ance. Their engine and boilers were not
much damaged. They have had offers
to build in other places, but haye not
yet decided where they will locate.

They have recently built wharf, ware

The North Western Lumber Co. turn
ed 100000 feet of lumber into

to increase this. Their orders for lum-
Der, shingles and boxes are plentiful.
On the LIST OF January their shingle
weavers struck for one-half cent raise
for packing and one cent for knot saw
ing. In day or two a portion of the
crew came back, and new men were en-
ployed to fill up their quota, which
started the mill going full blast. This
company employs about $50 men. Each
year sees it pushing its stock into east
ern states sending its products by rail
rather than by sail.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
Prof. Romanoff and Miss Nellie Redinser at the
COnere eational Church Monday Night.

Anton Romanoff, the great violinist,
will hold the audience spell bound in the
Congregational church next Monday
evening, March 3. Prof Romanoff was
formerly court violnist to the Emperor
of Austria and has given concerts in the
United States on King Joseph's $40, 900
violin. Herr Romanoff has probably
played on more fine and rare violins
than all the living or dead artists put
together, and to say that the audience
Monday night will be spell bound from
the moment the professor touches his
bow to his beloved violin, is but repeat
ing the judgment OF all who have had
the pleasure of hearing him.
Next to Mr.. Romanoff will appear
Miss Nellie Redinger, who is a real Won
der on the piano. Her technique and
control over the piano is amazingly
brilliant and her performance has been
pronounced equal to that OF Padereweski
by competent judges. Prof. Romanoff
believes her to be the greatest living
American pianist, and predicts that the
time is not far distant when her fame in
the large cities of the world will make
Aberdeen proud of its gifted daughter.

THE BLACK DIAMONDS.
A Crowded House Greets the Amateurs at
the Painters Benefit.

A full house greeted the sensational
comedy drama, '"The Black Diamonds"
at the Acme opera house Monday night,
and all present went home satisfied they
had received their moneys worth. The
play was in the hands OF Aberdeen
amateurs and was given for the benefit
of the Painters Union, who netted a
neat sum thereby.
The audience was good natured, and
evidently expected to be somewhat bored
by the attempt of unprofessionals to
produce this celebrated play. To say
they were pleasantly surprised, hardly
expresses it. Nobody supposed we had
such an aggregation of histronic talent
in our midst, and while all were good,
Percy Litter must have surprised him
self. As "Bernard McTurk, the friend
and representative of the horny-handed,
down trodden workingman," he could
not have been surpassed, and showed
the possession of the actor talent of a
high order.
DR.. S. G. Maker did credit to his part,
a faithful darkey, and AL. Green made
an ideal cold gentleman" Phil. Locke
curbed his good nature sufficiently to get
the audience angry at his villainy-tne
surest praise for the part of the villain.
r. S. Haynes left nothing to be desired
in his character as ''tough." John
Perry, as Mark ODare, carried out the
part to perfection.
The lady characters were faithfully
depicted by Misses Minnie Jones and
Title Nasnec and Mrs. Carl Berch, and
were roundly applauded.
By no means the smallest attraction OF
the evening was the music, furnished by
Castrino's orchestra, and donated to the
Painters Union An Aberdeen audience
has never listened to better.
