ALLIGATORS AS BOATMATES.
An Experience With One That Had
Been Apparently Killed Several
Times.
Country Life in America.)

S@1~ 80 49,
Alligators love rapidity under water,
are hard to see, harder to hit, and tn
harDoon will penetrate only the least
accessible portions of the body. Nor
does the title to the hide necessarily
pass with the making fast the Weapon.
One afternoon in the Cheesehowitzkee
river l harpooned a large alligator
which towed me up and down the
stream for an hour or two and then
suIked in its deepest part. l pulled on
the line until the boat was directly over
MIN and stirred him up with the har-
poon pole. He rolled himself up on the
line in manner peculiar to sharks ami
alligatOrs, and banged the boat suggas-
lively. We rowed to the a AMI,
making fast to some bushes, hauled on
The line until we succeeded in worrying
him nearly TO the boat, when he rose
to the surface and attacked US vita
open mouth. We repealed the attack
With ~harpoon pole and rifle. The form
eli was promptly bitten IN three pieces
out the latter apparently finished him.
1t was SO nearly dark That We deciuei
to carry him in the skin a mile do ND
the RIVER TO where our SloOp was an
cnored. We broke the seats out Of the
boat, and togeIner managed TO lift Til"
mead OF the alligator ABOARD and tie II.
We then tied the other end, Wnen the
reptile came TO life n landed a blow
with his tail which lifted me out of TN
skin into the saw grass, with the breath
knocked out OF my Douy, &nd my hands
and face badly cut by the grass.
Boat and bOatman were caksiZed. ~
my rifle had fortunately been left up IN
the bank, l was able TO kill the alIISt-
Tor again. We secured him by floating
the boat under him and hen bailing 6"
out. The alligator completely flied the
boat, so that my companion ana l sat
upon his back as we padded down the
river with gunwals u~npleasantiy near
the water.
1t was growing dark and the water
around US was becoming live with alii-
gators. While we were rejecting upon
our overloaded condition., our alligator
came to life again and shifted ballast
until water poured over the gunwalls.
We quickly DaIanced the boat, only 20

lowed. which we reached without 40
sizing and where we left our victim for
the night after again killing him. In
the morning our buzzard friend from

family, was sitting above him in the
tree waiting for US TO attend to our

Murdered and Robbed on Streets of
WILSON,.

DIR. I. w. Sutton. of Arkansas. who
was murderously assaulted and robbed
on the streets of this city at an early
hour Thursday morning last. died in
Calypso, neal Goldsboro, last Friday
night from the result Of his injuries.
The deceased arrived in Wilson last
Monday night IN the late train, all
trains being late that night. on &C
count of the extra holiday traffic. l. l3
presumed that it was about 1880
O'Clock when he arrived here.
The doctor, according to his state
ment, made shortly before death claim
ed him as it's victim. Immediately. on
leaving the depot. started in search
Of hotel accommodations, first stopping
at the Belmont. Being unable to. ac-
commodate him the proprietress very
kindly directed him to the Pennington
house. On arriving at the Pennington,
he was again Informed that it was i'm
possible to admit him. owing to the
fact that the capacity of it was taxed
to it's utmost. After leaving the latter
house he started ID the street. being
a stranger in the city, did not know
what street he was on, and had not
gone but Il short distance before he
was knocked senseless. He remained
in an unconscious condition until about
day-hreak Tuesday morning. when he
was found by an officer. His satchel
was found in a ditch near the railroad
track. some distance from the point
where the unfortunate man received
his deaths blow
His nephew, Mr.. O.. w. Sutton, on
learning Of what had happened to his
uncle, came to this city at once and
did all in his power for the suffering
man. but to no avail. The remains
have been forwarded to his home, near
Little Rock, Arkansas, for interment.
AS yet there is no clew as to the
identity or whereabouts of the perpe-
traitors of this most horrible and das-
tardly crime. they having very success
fully eluded the watchful eye of the
officers of the law.-Wilson News. Dec.

the announcemnt that three lines be-

While the withdrawal Of such a large
amount of business from the market at

brokers who were effacting the insur-

news with eQuanimlty. owing to the
fact that for more than a year past all
these contracts Melted a loss to the I'M

There was much speculation as to
how the International Mercantile Ma

losses. The general opinion is that it
will be done through the establishment
of an emergency fund. 1t was pointed

Inc question winch THIS COrreSpOn-
dent discusses is how far the national
republican party and the party in the
individual northern states would be af-
fected if the negro vote shoul be di-
verified to the democratic party. Ever
since the war the negroes have voted in
a body always with the republicans,
whether at the south or at. the north.
1t was always safe for the republicans
to count each and every negro voter for
their side.
The Suns correspondent says that
whatever changes might have resulted
from q total elimination of the negro
vote prior to 1896, it is quite obvious
from the above table that it's elimina-
ton would have a no effect upon the
result of the last two presidential cleo
tons, n that il is not likely that it
would a had any effect upon the
political complexion of the house or the
senate, although it might have lost the
Fifty-eighth house of republicans.
But it is quite clear" he goes on.
that il the negroes of the north in mass
should their present allies and
go over to the democrats, the long un-
interrupted republican domination in
several states would at once cease, and
1t would become very precarious in as
many more. Such a sweeping political
reaction is not looked for by either par
ty. But there is supposed to be some
unrest among the negroes and a general
m among republican leaders
that the fight over the lilly white ap-
pointments at the south is being care
fully managed by the democratic cad
ers, more with a view to shake the ale
glance of the northern negroes than to
Vindlcate white supremacy at the south.
1t is apparent that republican successes
In Delaware, Maryland. West Virginia
and Kentucky have been wholly depen-
dent upon the negro vote"
He also points out that the secession
from the republicans by the negro vote
in New York would have defeated
Roosevelt for governor in 1896 and Odell
in the last election.
These statements and figures are in
teresting. We confess hat it is a new
line of political thought to US. We had
in any of the northern states, and had
certainly not looked upon it as holding
the balance of power as between the
republican and the democratic party.
The Suns correspondent makes it very
clear however, that the negro vote in
some Of the doubtful states Of the north
is a matter of prime Importance to the
republicans, and that being the case it
is not strange that the republican lead
erS should be conSiderate of their dark
skinned allies. The negro vote in the
south has been a hinderance rather than
a help to the republican party, but the
negro vote in some Of the northern bor-
der states is a different proposition.
These reflections ma cast some light
upon President Roosevelt's attitude to
ward the colored man and brother
