Of marine, has q disregard for the
niceties of dress which makes him q
favorite with cartooli5ts. His white
hair and beard seem to be absolute

MARBLE IN OCONEE AND PICKENs.

Recently valuable deposits of mar
bic have been found in Oeonee conn-
~, not far from Walhalla The most
valuable bed SO far discovered is Oh
the place of Mr.. T. N. Hall.
MIR. G. II, Mayhem, a practical
marble man, says that within eight
miles of Walhalla there is one Of the
largest marble deposits in the whole
country, and the specimens taken
from it are susceptible of the highest
polish. About the only thing need.
ful is sufficient capital to establish a
quarry and begin 20 develop the
marble beds.
We have not shadow OF doubt
but that the reports from Oconee are
true, and we believe too, that similar
beds exist in Pickens. While we do
not know just what grade of marble
Pickens county affords, we do know
that the amount off granite in the
county exceeds any other county iu
the State. Much of it is susceptible
of the highest polish, and the devel.
opment Of this portion of our mineral
resources means much for the future
Of our county. The early develop
ment of these natural resources 10
snre to come.

Presidonk Polk IN aoatoD.

Charles J. Bateman, a descendant
of President Polk, asked to tell OF
some anecdote concerning his dis.
tinguished ancestor, told the follow
Ing story;
"It is said that when President
Polk visited Boston he was impress
lively received at Faneuil Hall mar
ket. The clerk walked in front of
him down the length of the market market,
announcing in loud tones:
Make way, gentlemen, for the
president of the United States The
president of the United States! Eel
low citizens, make roomP
"rhe chief executive had stepped
into one of the stalls to look at some
game when Mr.. Rhodes, the secre-
tary, turned around suddenly and,
finding himself alone, promptly
changed his tone and exclaimed:

confounded idiot got to Louis

A Norvy Llttlo oenoraI.

General Esteban Huertas, com
raander in chief Of the army of Pan
anna, is believed to be the Youngest
and smallest general In the world,
as his country is the youngest, if not
the smallest, of republics. He is
about twenty-nine years old, has
been a soldier since he was eight or
nine and is proud Of the fact that
he has risen from the lowest ranks.
In one of the revolutions of few
years ago, when he was fighting on
the side of the government, his
right arm was hit by shell. 1t is
said that when he found his arm
was nearly severed he hacked off the
rest with his own knife, had the
short stub bound and resumed his
work in the field. Now, for his
services to Panama during the crit.
ical period of its birth he has been
granted 100000 to pay the expense
Of trip to study the military organ

WALTER KEMPNER BOCOCK.

Rev. R. B. Willis writes a friend in this city that upon his return to Searcy Tuesday he re- ceived the sad news of the death of his wife's brother, MT. Walter Kempner Bocock in Philadelphia.
 The deceased had suffered an attack of the grippe and gone to the hospital a few days before, but the news of his death was sudden and unexpected.
 In the language of MT. Willis The was a man of unusual att tainments, of very ripe scholar ship, one of the most unselfsh and spotless children of Christ I have ever known. 1" He was an Episcopal minister and editor of the Church Standard" /"
 Those bowed in grief have the sympathy of many Newport friends.

BOOK CLUBS
 ANNUAL DRAWING

The Twentieth Century Book club met at the home of Mrs. l.. Hirsch Monday afternoon, where a very entertaining program of music, recitation and reading was listened to by not only the club members, but quite a party of invited guests, for to each member had been accorded the privilege of inviting one outsider.
 A very clever idea had been followed out in the selection of souvenirs, which consisted of blue ribbon book marks, upon which was printed the program of the meeting in letters of gilt.
 The program is given below and lack of time, upon which score we apologize for this be- lated notice, compels us to limit mention ot the several numbers to the reading of Mrs. J. B. Hirsch of Little Rock. Her sub ject was As Others See Us, !" and gave what impressions exist among other nations of Uncle Sam. The paper had been pre- pared for a Little Rock club, and has been the recipient of much deservedly complimentary men tion.
 Refreshments of chocolate and champagne wafers were served.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 16. n Allen lLarkin, a negro, we'll known to fthe local police, was captured last night by Deputy Sheriff Tom Mee1s, after a chase in which some shooting was made neces- sary before the negro would give up. It is charged that Larkin snatched a purse containg S86 in money and a small gold locket from a colored Sister of Charity. He was located in the west end of the city, and has been placed in jail. It is thought here that he was one of the negroes wanted in Little Rock for purse-snatch- ing.

,JACKSONPORT JOTTINGS.

Notmuch stirring on our streets this week.
 M. B. Williams. who has been ill for some time, is again out. We are glad to see this.
 The steamer Welcome just ar rived Wednesday with a trip for Taylor and Gibson of this place.
 Chas. Johnson, colored, was arrested Saturday night for dis .)oroEerly conduct and disturbing the peace. He rested in the new jail house that night. His fine, we believe, was $73. 40.
 There is no doubt but what Jacksonport is on the up grade. Every Saturday night shows this.
 Mrs. Wm. Hultz of St. Louis is here on a VlSlt to her parents, MT. and Mrs. Jas. Gibson.
 We learn that Chas. Johnson, the colored man who was arrested here Saturday night, was also fined in Newport for disorderly conduct. Charles is alright when sober, but whisky runs him crazy.
 R. w. Anderson reports busi- ness improving. His St. Louis bread trade has doubled in the past few weeks.
 The steamer Welcome leaves for points below Newport Thurs day.

COL. HOUSE LOCKS
 HORNS WITH EVANS
Joint Debate Between Colonel House and Judge Evans On
 Gubernatorial Issue.

Ozark, Ark, Feb. Is. Over 300 voters were here today to
 hear the joint discussion between
 Judge J. H. Evans and Col. J. wv. House of Little Rock. Judge Evans spoke first, and said he was for Governor Davis because he was an antitrust leader and endorsed the Democratic plat form. He referred to letters that had passed between him and
 Gov. Davis and about their being at outs. Col. House could use them to any advantage he saw fit. He charged Col. House with voting for Powell Clayton for United States senator and not voting for Governor Davis in the general election. He referred to the third term, and spoke of county officers running for third term and about the supporters of James K. Jones voting for him four times for United States senator.
 Col. House was received amid loud applause when he took the stand. He said he did not come here to dictate to any one, but to advocate the election of Judge Wood. He paid a high tribute to the judges of the supreme court, and said they were all men of high character and in- tegrity, and he had never heard of the supreme courts decisions being drug into campaign be- fore.
 He explained to the audience why he voted for Powell Clayton for United States senator and denied that he had any love for him. He said he had always voted the Democratic ticket, but was away for his health during the last election, and that was the reason he didn't vote for Gov. Davis, but he had always contributed to the Democratic campaign fund.
 He discussed for some time the governors pardon record, the brick contract and about Gov. Davis trying to get the legisla- ture to revoke the contract.
