New York, June 16.-Rufus Hur.
burt, a negro tobacconIst at No. los
West Twenty-third street, is turn

was of mulatto hue. To-day one Of
his hands is white, the other has
white spots on it. Spots of white
mark the other portions of his body.
Every week sees noticeable in
crease in the area of white skin.
Physicians who have been con.
suited by Hurburt say the change
is not pathological for there is net
the slightest symptoms OF any dis.
ease. The only thing It can be at
tributed to is some unexplained
withdrawal of nutrition from the
cuticle. causing an absence of pig
mentation.
Hurburt was born in Saco, Me.
His parents went to Maine from the
Island of Trinidad. in the West Iu-
dies. So far as he knows there is
no white blood in his veins, yet he
is rapidly becoming a whitegman,
the color of his new skin being con-
paler than that of the or

It's being urged by mislniormed
people that we have criticised the
people for not eIecting the commit
teemen to fill the vacancies in the
Democratic committee in this coun.
ty, in that we have said that there
was a failure TO elect, and that
Whittemore was compelled to fill
same by appointment. We wish to
be understood positively on this
point We have not criticised the
Democratic voters. 1t is the official
duty of the county chairman to call
these elections. Thompson not only
failed but fatty refused to call
these elections, we'll knowing that
if the people got show at him that
his head would not last as long
as a June snow SO there was an
utter failure to elect, but the fault
was Thompson S, not the people s.
he wanted to fill said vacancies by
his own own appointment and
thereby get members who would not
remove him from his Craftsmanship,
tor he we'll knew his past, and con
templated future acts, would bring
down upon his head the storm OF
criticism which is now raging about
him, just as the Times predicted.
Take his last act, the pretended
of the rump senatorial
committee of this district Thomp-
son s acts therein would put 10
blush any Asiatic Dictator or Rus
sian Gar He pretended to call
but it is not even con-
vention. The people meet in each
precinct and you would suppose for
the purpose of selecting a candidate
for senator, but no, they Just vote
for delegates, no instructions, not
a word about who they prefer for
senator. This is the most vicious
piece of machineism, the greatest
display of ring and cliquism in pol
tics that was ever attempted to be
upon a free people, in
ancient or modern times. Will the
people stand this ring rule? No
they will not. Should the people
stand this one-man bossism, this
dictatorship, this Czarism, this
this one man being
he whole 1T? Nay, they should
lot and no Democrat could ask or
expect it. Down with rings, Icliques
and bossism, and we say that the
people can be depended on to see
hat they go not only down, but
away back and SIT down for good
and always.-Murray Times.

hnS~,y controversy between Supt.
Dotson and the defendant Williams,
and between Dotson and some of the
lot owners deem it my duty. though,
in view of the fact that this testi-
mony has been laid before me in a
case which involves the management
of the cemetery, to say that the evi.
dence discloses the fact that Dotson
has been guilty of conduct which is
improper and unbecoming in one
who is the superintendent of a pub
lie cemetery. He has been rude in
language to ladies in the cemetery
who were there engaged in the pious
task of caring for the graves of their
dead he has destroyed the property
of some Of the lot owners without au-
thority of law, and in the unwarrant-
ed exercise of his authority as super
intendent. The uncontradicted evil
dence shows that he is in the habit of
hunting with his gun in the cemetery
and shooting patridges among the
graves of the dead. This, too, in the
face of the plain provision Of the
charter of the company which de-
clares, in express terms, that IL Is I'M
lawful for any person to discharge
any gun or other fire arms" within
the limits and which declares that one
who does this shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and liable to in
dictment therefor; and, upon convic-
ton, shall be punished by fine not
less than IS or more than 800, or by
imprisonment in the common Jail Of
Chatham county, or both, at the dis
erection of the court, according to the
nature and aggravation of the offense;
and such offender shall also be
liable in an action of trespass, to be
brought against him in any court of
competent jurisdiction, in the name of
the Evergreen Cemetery Company of
Bonaventure."
The pleadings in this case do not give
me any Jurisdiction over him or his
offenses, and /, therefore, take no &c
ton now as to him.
1t is, therefore, considered, ordered
and adjudged that the injunction be,
and the same is hereby, granted as
prayed. Pope Barrow,
