financial circles whether a htm OF
New York and Chicago brokers' who

money for immediate use. No pay

A Good Example.

The News says being conscl-
ence stricken at the thought of haY-
ing swindled a cotton mill seven years
ago with a water packed bale, q far
mer, living in another county has sent
SIS in cash to Greenville, that being
the amount to which he was not en-
titled. The case is rather remark
able. Often it is found that the
weight Of a bale decreases after it has
been thoroughly dried, but 1t more
often happens that when complaint
is made to the original seller, the
fault is laid at the DIOR Of a ginner.
In this instance, however, the ginner
was the Innocent party. We wish
every one who has taken what does
not belong to him would follow the
example Of the man mentioned above.

Cbewed or His Nose.

In a rough and tumble fghtat close

Lum Ward, a farmer, who lives sever
al miles from that city, used his teeth
TO amputate the nose Of John Collins.
The nose hung by piece OF skin.
Almost the entire outer portion had
been severed from the face, running
back as far as the bone. The cartilage
had been completely bitten in two.
There was also a wound on the right
hand. DR.. Bramlet, after dressing
the nose, put it in position, taking
several stitches in the flesh to keep
it in place. He has some hopes
that it may unite and heal, but said

Vandalism Of So-CaIled Soldiers on
the Way to Manassas.

| Vandalism OF So-Called Soldiers on
the Way to Manassas.
Many complaints have been heard
Of the vandalism Of soldiers en- route
to the army maneuvers at Manassas
says the Charlotte Chronicle. Sunday
morning when the train carrying the
Georgia troops stopped at Belmont,
Ed. Stowe, a well known and indus
trious colored minister of that city,
was handled roughly and seriously and
permanently injured.
He was on his way TO visit friends
near Belmont and disnounted from
the bicycle he was riding to cross the
railroad tracks. When the soldiers
spied Stowe, they made for pile OF
rocks and began to throw stones at
him. The colored man was struck sew
eral times, one Of the stones destroy
ing the sight Of his left eye.
When the train stopped in Char.
lotte crowd Of the soldiers walked
up West Trade street and went into
the fruit and confectionery store of
n. Paul, in the Presbyterian Hospi-
tai building. When Paul informed
them that be could not sell anything
on Sunday, the soldiers began helping
themselves to fruits and CONNECTIONS
and did not stop until the stock was
greatly depleted:
Early Wednesday morning a crowd
of soldiers went into the Gem restau-
rant, and while several were eating at
the lure counter, others helped them.
selves to cigars and chewing gum.
The marauders> then took boxes OF
cigars and several boxes of chewing
gum-them deliberately, with nc pre-
tense Of paying for them. The loss to
the restaurant was at least s25. The
soldiers who were eating at the lunch
counter paid forawhat they got and
took no part in the depredations,
A small colored boy was loaing
around the Southern passenger Sta
tion when one OF the troop rains
stopped here, was given fright that
he will remember for longt time.
After a short chase, be was captured
by a burly soldier, who, with the as
sistance of several companions, took
a blanket, and kept the boy bouncing
in the air for several minutes. Every
company was differed, it is true, but
many of the soldiers were absolutely
without restraint, and in some in.
stances it is said that the officers join

Opposes the Brice Bill.

Rev. W. c. Creighton in a sermon
at the Methodist church at CokeS-
bury recently took occasion to say
that he was most StrenuouSly opposed
to the Brice bill. He said it was a
blow, devised by politicians, at the
diSpensary law, and while he was a
prohibitionist from practice and prin-
ciple, the dispensary was far Ircfsr
able to the open bar-room. And If
the people bad tried as hard to enforce
the law as they had to break it up,
we would have had prohibition.

A CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

This challenge to comparison OF
Democratic and Republican admins
tratious since the Republican party
came into existence should be wei
coined. Fortunately we have eight
recent years of Democratic admins
tration Of the executive department.
OF the government which we will glad
" compare with any similar period
since 1860.
"The comparison will show that
under Democratic control the admin.
istrative purity Of the fathers was
observed in the conduct Of the gov
eminent, that no one Of its depart
ments vas permeatsd as Of late with
corruption rivaling the days Of the
star route frauds, that successful
effort was made to check the growth
Of expenditures, that it resulted in
each instance in cuttirg down the ex-
penses within the control OF the de-
,oartn ent OF the government below
that Of the preceding Administrations.
The comparison will show also that
each succeeding Republican admins
sration after 1858 increased expenses,
and in some instances so greatly as TO
indicate reckless extravagance and
waste Of the peoples money.

POISONED HIM.
A Negroes Bite Causes the Death Of a
White Man.

The Atlanta Journal says after suf-
fering weeks of intense agonies, as the
result Of the bite Of a negro, received
during a personal difficulty over three
months ago, J. N. Porter, well
known planter Of Dougherty county,
Ca, }, died Of blood poisoning Tuesday
morning at 4:30 o'clock at the Baptist
Tabernacle intrmary, on Luckie
street.
During q hand to hand encounter
with negro, Mr.. Porter was bitten
upon the thumb Of the left hand.
Though the sharp teeth OF his black
.assailant sank almost to the bone, the
farmer paid little attention to the
matter at first, thinking that the
wound would heal without giving him
any trouble.
After several days had elapsed; how
ever, the injured finger became in
famed and after several weeks it was
almost double it's natural size. Natur-
ally greatly alarmed MI. Porter has.
tened to Albany, Ga and placed him
self under the treatment of the ply
s:cians there. Slowly his entire arm
became intlamed and was swollen to
enormous proportions. It panied him
constantly and at times be was com.
PEELED to suffer agonies almost beyond
human endurance.
AS there was no change for tie bet
ter, as last resort Mr. Porter was ad-
vised to come to Atlanta for treat
ment. He arrived about fve weeks ago
and was placed in the Tabernacle in
frmary, where he was attended by
DR.. e. G. Davis and other physicians.
AS the only possible means of saw
ing the life OF the patient the affected
arm was amputated three weeks ago.
However, it was too late. The poison
had already extended throughout his
systen-eVen the lungs being affected
and he sank slowly to his death.
Mr.. Porter was about 90 years Of
age and was unmarried. he had re-.
sided in Dougherty county for some
time and leaves many friends there
who will learn Of his tragic death with
deep regret. Until instructions are re-
ceiyed from relatives, the remains will
be held at the undertaking parlors Of
Barclay & Brandon.

The War News Lies.

Somebody in Berlin as taken the
trouble to tatulate and analyse the
statistics of the war news since the
struggle between Japan and Russia
opened. The result appears in the
Berlin issue Of Lloyed's OF recent
date. The compiler assumes that
every telegram told the truth. Here,
then, is the result, and figures don't
lie: Russia has lost 2S battleships
like the Retvizan, 80 of the Peropav-
lovsk type, 145 cruisers, All torpedo
boat destroyers, 1,4S7 torpedo boats,
with $4,000 soldiers killed, $500
wounded and lS6, 1000 prisoners. ia
pan has lost 49 armored cruisers, 81
other crciserS, 90 destroyers and $40
torpedo boats, while her losses in men
have been $4,000 killed, $4,000
wounded and 119, 900 prisoners. Port
Arthur, according to the same
authority, has been twelve time at
tackled, has been carried by storm
once and has capitulated no less than
six times.
