Now the boarding place of Mrs.
Harriet B. Kells in Jackson is also
about to become an issue in the cam
paign. 1t has been charged that her
remarkable published interview ema-
mated from the. governors mansion,
leaving, Of course, the impression
that the governor had something to
do with it, perhaps debating the SEN
timents. The ClarionLedgerr rises to
explain that there is no truth in
the report and that Mrs. Kells since
her sojourn in the capital has been
boarding at private house and never
frequents the mansion. The Progress
never helped to circulate the report
for the reason it did not believe the
report was true and if it was it would
not in the least have changed the
matter. Mrs. Kells is responsible
for the mistake she made in the in
terview and not the governor, and at
this late hour, since the whole matter
has been fully ventilated, it makes
but little difference who threw that
brick.

The strikers and the managers of
the Mobile and Ohio road have settled
their differences and trians are NOV
ing as heretofore. Just on what basis
the strike was settled is not yet
knwon, both parties refusing to let
out the secret for the present, but it
may be stated that it was satisfac-
tory to all concerned, as head-on
collision was avoided between the
road and the strikers. In all it seems
to have been fair strike, fairly
conducted, without threats or intimi-
dations, and everything is now lovely
with the exception that many of the
strikers find their places filled by
new men and they are out of a job.
The management, however, proposes
to give them the preference to jobs
whenevre vacancies occur. but that is
not much satisfaction considering it
is too late to pitch crop.

The revenue agent has come down
on Lefiore county like thousand of
brick. He wants to collect taxes ON
something like two million of dollars
and runs the dates back to eight or
ten years. The people of that county
should come to the same conclusion a
certain farmer did who carried raft
of logs down the Mississippi river to
New Orleans. The log merchant took
the authority to inspect the logs after
he had partially contracted for the
same and he went at it in this wise ::
"That has a knot in it and / must
knock off certain amount for that, -
putting the amount down on his book.
fThat one is doty that one is hol-
low; that one is crooked, y and SO on
until all the logs had been inspected
when adding up the total he re-
marked: ssThe total amounts to $50,
making you owe me balance of $14.
&c.. This was the poor farmers
first experience in the logging bust
ness. He was an honest man. He
had always paid his debts, but this
stunted him, and returning to go he
remarked to the log merchant: "You
can have the logs, but that is one
debt that I will never pay The
people of Lefiore can move out and
tell the agent to take the county for
the debt.

Florida has a new way of
breaking up blind tigers, but
it is illegal, though effective. In a
recent campaign a prominent man
took the side of the prohibition fac
tion while some others who were
anti -prohibitionists and desired to
continue the sale of blind tiger whis-
key, took the opposite stand. The
other night while the prohibition
man was on his way home he was
waylaid and shot, afterwards having
his throat cut. A white blind tiger
dealer, named Randall, was suspected
of having hired two negroes to COM
NIT the murder and all three of them
were arrested. One of them confessed,
stating that Randall hired them,
and were lynched. That closed the
blind tiger shop.

The next morning after the street

contain full account of it. 1t was
because the Scimitar's correspondent

But perhaps this correspondent did

Origin Of my Maryland"

Mr.. James r. Randall has conferred
benefit upon his fellows by giving to
the Columbia State the following ac-
count OF his authorship of. the stirring
war song, Maryland, My Maryland :"
"In the year 1861 was, though
very young man, professor at Poydras
College, parish of Point Coupee, Louis
lana. This college had been built and
endowed by rich Creole planter. 1t
was situated on a lake about seven
miles from the Mississippi river, In a
region largely devoted to sugar.cane
production, the inhabitants being
chiefly of French descent and habitu-
ally speaking that language. To get
our mail at that time we had to 60 to
the postoffice at village ON the river
bank. One day in April I rode over
there and received the New Orleans
Delta, which contained a graphic &C.
count OF the passage Of the Massachu-
setts regiment through Baltimore, my
native city, and the sangulnary enconn-
ter with crowd of lnfuriated men who
proposed to resist all invasion of Vir-
ginla soil. This narrative inf1amed
my soul, and as at that period had
the gift of poetry, the thoughts surg
ing in my brain took the shape of verse.
That night I conld not sleep, and
seemed t.rmented into song. l rose
from my Ted. lit candle and began
to write at my desk. The meter Of one
of James Clarence Msngan's poems in

with enthusiasm. copied and sent it
to the Delta iI publications. My ex.
pectation WAS that it would contribute
. hat 10 the lyrical history Of tho
day, but hardly anticipated what
really happened. Slnce that time l
have written poems that are moro sr-
tistic than Maryland, My Maryland
but this one poem seems TO cling to
me in way to eclipse all other pro-.
ductiops. OF mine, aud for many years I
have abandoned all attempts at poet'c
cultivation, partly because Of necessity

Cora Leavitt Parker.

Cora Leavitt, the wife of Frank l..
Parker, passed to the higher life from
her home in Norridgewock, Sunday
afternoon, May 3rd 1908, after an illness
of loss than two days.
She was the daughter OF Clara w. and
James T. Leavitt and was born in
Skowhegan, December 9th 1856 She
was one of six daughters, Mrs Mary
Reed of Montana, Mrs. Hannah Flint of
Port Deposit, Md, Mrs. Thanie Adams,
Miss Nellie and Miss Hazel of Norridge-
wock. This is the first break in the
family circle.
Mrs. Parker was a student of the
Skowhegan schools ano later student
of Orono college. She was always ia
vorite with her schoolmates because of
her sweet and cheerful disposition.
She was married to Frank L. Parker,
son of Jonas and Hannah Parker, Decem
Ter 9Th 1887. Three children were bonn
to them, Mary Elizabeth, George Leavitt
and Florence lara.
Mrs. Parker's death seems particular
y sad, coming as it has in early woman
hood and taking out of the home, the
wife, mother and daughter whose every
day life has meant SO much to all, AL
though never strong she has always been
faithful in the performance of every
duty, however hard, as it came; al
ways thoughtful of others, always brave
and cheerful. Deeply interested and
active as far as time permitted in every
thing that makesfor better social con-
ditions. She had long been member
of the Skowhegan Womans's Club also a
member of the Relief Corps in which Or
ganization she has been inspector of the
Department of Maine and on Friday
last, she was elected and installed senior
vice. pl esident Her life was an inspir-
alton to all Many friends will join in
heartfelt sympathy for the family so
severely stricken in their great bereave-
ment.
The beautiful flowers sent by the
ekowhegan Woman's club, the Relief
Corps and the schools If which the
children were members and from other
friends suggested the fragrant memories
she leaves behind her.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon, conducted by Rev. II,
w. Kimball and interment was in the
South Side cemetery
