Garris and Henry Broadway, colored
men who live on Mr.. J. 7. Aliens planta-
ton, about six miles north of town,
fought with knife and pitchfork, the re-
suit being that -.arris was dangerously
cut by Broadway.
The particulars Of the affair are some
what meager, but from what we can
learn it seems that while the men were
at the lot feeding the stock this morn
ing Broadway accused Garris Of talking
about his children. one word brought
on another and Garris seized a pitch
fork Broadway wrenched the pitch
fork away from Garris and closed in on
him with a knife. Garris was cut sew
eral times across the chest, abdomen and
back The cuts in the abdomen and
chest are to the hollow, and Garris is
dangerously wounded.

HOW HE GOT EVEN.

story Of railway tunnel.
"a friend of mine he said. "the 9TH

MY friend Is a mild man, but after
ten or fifteen minutes OF this adverse

asked himself how he could get even

MGsCALLED REPUBLIC.
The legislative power of this mis-
called republic Is composed of two
houses, senate and chamber of depu-
ties, They convene but once a year, the
ordinary length OF a session being so
days. There Is supposed TO be one dep
uty for every 10000 people, az nearly
as the number of inhabitants Is known.
Each department OF Bolivia sends two
senator's department being about
the same as a state In the United
States Every department Is divided
into three provinces, and each province
has capital city. In each of these
capitals resides a municipal governor,
assisted by a local project, whose Of
lice corresponds somewhat to that Of
mayor. Both project and governor are
pretended to be elected directly by the
people, but Ii oftener happens that the
president elects men who are bound TO
serve him, even though he has to send
down strangers from the federal capt.
tai.
The executive power Is most emphati
caly In the hands OF the president. The
constitution says that he shall De
elected by the people, but that myth is
even more Of a delusion here than In
most republics That venerated docu
ment which Processes to be modelled
after the Constitution OF the United
states Of North America, also says that
