A DAY IN HAMILTON.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
spent part of day In the pleasant
town of Hamilton one day last week.
We we're struck with the good con-
dition of the roads in Martin county,
and the farms along the roads all
seem we'll prepared for cultivation and
almost every available acre is either
planted or in preparation for crop.
We we're pleasantly entertained by
Mrs. Darden at the Couoho House and
found the people of the town all In
their usual clever mood.
Hamilton is one of the best shaded
little towns we know and In May-day
sunshine it is peculiarly attractive
Business has improved in tie town
during the past few years. The mer-
chants are doing a good business and
the farmers in the community are
prospecting. A new Methodist church
is being built on Main street which
will be quite an addition to the town.
The Hamilton Pants Manufacturing
Company Is doing good business, and
the plant is quite an Interesting one.
About four years ago the business was
opened With w. l.. Sherrod president,
DR.. 8. l.. Long vice-presldent and G. Fl.
Baker secretary and treasurer.
The company employs about thirty
operatives and the output is about one
hundred and twenty-five pairs of pants
per day. They turn out excellent
work, ranging in price from Is cents
to $500 pair wholesale, and the goods
are fast taking rank as among the very
best on the market.
1t is quite interesting to watch Mr..
Richards, the cutter, do his work with
a big, long knife like unto butchers
blade. He cuts as many as twenty
and twenty-five pairs at stroke and
car Gu: as high as $4,000 worth OF
pants in day.
Altogether, we had pleasant visit
to Hamilton ard we hereby MAKE onr
acknowledgements to the good people
there for their courtesies and patron
age.

the distinguished orator of the day
Hon. Claude Kitchln, who was appro
priatelv introduced by Judge Philips
"Mr. Kitchin delivered with great
force and power and thrilling eloquence
a tribute, filled with noble and heauti
full sentiment, elegant and ornate die
tlon, to the great Confederate soldiers
who dedicated their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor to the
cause they believed to be right.
! "Mr. Kitchin is an orator OF rar'
power and ability. His great speech

Convicted Of MansIaushter and Cruelty,
Case Will Be Heard by Law Court,
Tuesday, on observation-disclosures
His Innocence. 'tn,

Lisbon Falls. Me-, June o6.-On
Tuesday, June %, the appealed case Of
Rev. Frank w. Sanford of Shiloh.
convicted of cruelty to his son John,
and on the charge Of granddaughter i'm
connection with the death Of Leander
Bartlett. will be heard before the law
court in Portland. In view of the ap-
preaching trial Mr.. Sanford has issued
statement to his followers that they
may fully understand his position. The
statement was made public today. 1t
is the first statement that he has givefr
out to the public since his trials be.
gan. The statement is as follows: I
Last February I was tried on the
charge of cruelty for allowing my SON
John to fast in behalf of the Hilton
three days, and was pronounced guilty.
The last of May I was tried on the
charge of manslaughter for the death
of Leander Bartlett, a boy Of Is, who
died Of diphtheria, and by the jury
pronounced guilty. The attorneys who
nave taken up by case filed objections
to many decisions in both trials. Ac--
cordingly these points are to be cons,
sidered by the supreme court which
convenes in Portland, June 2S. Should
these exceptions in either case prove
in their opinion to have been rightly
taken, the case will be thrown out and
we shall stand just where we stood at
the beginning of the trials in February.
II make this statement that the peo-
pie of God who are interested in those
who stand before magistrates fop
Christ's sake may have an intelligent
comprehension Of the situation and
may to the extent that Gods spirit
leads them so to do, unite in heartfelt
prayer to the judge of all the earth.
Should the verdict of the supreme court
he that these exceptions were not well
taken by our counsel and should not
have been granted. then I am to be
summoned to appear before Judge
Savage at Pennington in September to
receive sentence"
Mr.. Sanford has also announced
that the annual Fourth or July conven-
ton will be held at Shiloh for seven
days, beginning Tuesday, June %, to
Monday, Judy 4.
