More Vandalism.

A house valued at about $500
on the Ferd Stewart place near
Pleasant Glove school, and be-
longing to Messrs. A. G. Seavey
& Sons, of this city, was burned
by incendiaries last Saturday
night.
Up to last February this house
had been occupied by a negro
family, which we're warned BY
white cap notices to vacate and
needed the warning and left.
Since then it had remained va
cant. Lately Prof. Jesse Hodges
was employed by the trustees to
teach the Pleasant Grove school,
and had an agreement with the
Seaveys by which he was to occu-
py the house, which was conve-
niently located to the school. Last
Saturday he had the yard and
premises cleaned up and the house
secured preparatory to moving III
with bis family on Monday, when
he was to begin his school, but
Saturday night It is believed that
some Of the old white cap gang in
that locality applied the torch TO
it, and next morning nothing re-
manned but ashes and debris.

A BIT OF POLITICAL INCONSISTENCY.

The preamble and resolution
introduced by Hon. w. R. Nor
ton in the County Democratic
Convention last Saturday and
unanimously adopted by that
body, breathe the right principles
and have the genuine Democratic
ring. They reflect credit upon
the head and heart of the gentle
man who introduced them. There
was an apparent if not real in
consistency, however, in the Con-
vention's adopting such a resolu-
tion and at the same time endors-
ing Judge Parker for the Presi-
dency. If all appearances and
signs are not at fault, Judge Par
ker was brought forward by and
is receiving his strongest backing
from the Eastern politicians and
party boilers, subsidized press
and trusts, which Mr.. Norton S
resolution decries; presumably
for ne says nothing for himself
because Judge Parker has been
and still is, in accord with the
boiling and ust-tinctured faction
in the East which wants the Dem-
ocratic party leorganized. These

The Confederate Reunion.

Gen. Stephen ID. Lee, COM
rnander Of the United Confederate
Veterans Association, was among
the early arrivals at Nashville,
the demonstl alton at his reception
being notable. In beginning his
response. Gen. Lee said:
NV friends, ] am almost over
whelmed with this very pleasant,
cordial and unexpected greeting
here tonight. Our late beloved
commander, Gen. Gordon, was
accustomed TO have such. honors
done him, but it is new to me. z
Ii an interview regarding the
commandership, Gen. Lee said:
No, | am in no sense candi-
date for the place of commander
Of the veterans. The place is too
sacred and TOO honorable for any
man to seek il. am merely the
commander BY accident Of the
death of our hate beloved COM
mander, the lamented Gordon.
| would of course, consider it the
greatest honor of my life to BE-
elected commander of the veter-
ans, but / would not seek the
place.
The widow of the late oomman-
der, John B. Gordon, his two
daughters, Mrs. Burton Smith of
Atlanta, and Mrs. Orton Bishop
Brown Of Maine, accompanied By
Gen. Gordon's niece, Mrs. Lucy
Owsley, will be the guest Of
friends during the reunion.

loss how to naturalize him, but

Decorating Berlin Schools.

The committee OF the Berlin
town council in charge OF the pri-
mary schools have taken a novel
decision with regard to school
decoration. The proposal is tc
spend 10000 marks every year for
eight years, with the object OF
painting freScoes on the walls of
classrooms and corridors. These
pictures will be simple in cilarac-
ter and will represent for the most
part scenes in German history.
Before, however, the plan can be
carried out, experiments will be
made in three selected schools.
