The Race Issue.

Regarding the sensational speech
of Mr.. Heflin of Alabama, on the
race question, a Times-Democrat
dispatch from Washington says in
part;
Democratic congressman pass
ing through the city express great
indignation at the indiscretion of
Mr.. Hefin, candidate for congress,
following so soon on the Vardaman
affair. But Mr.. Heflin has been
sufficiently informed of his mistake,
and it is predicted that no more ut
terances of this kind will be heard
from him. Tillman some years ago
learned discretion, and no word Of
his has embarrassed the party this
year. Gov. Vardaman has also
been bottled up Unfortunate
ly, Heflin was not muzzled soon
enough to prevent him from doing
serious if not irreparable injury to
the national ticket. His incendiary
mouthings have already been seized
on by the Republican campaign
managers and scattered broadcast
throughout the north, together with
the comments of certain Alabama
papers. The Republicans consider
Hefin's speech valuable campaign
matter, and it is quite possible that
the folly of this single marplot may
turn one or two doubtful states
against the Democrats. thus insur-
ing Parker's defeat. To bottle
up" this ranter was not sufficient !;
the executive committee of his dis
trict should have called him down
and put up a more creditable speci-
men of Southern Democracy. Truly,
the National Democratic party has
heavy load to carry in its Till
mans and Vardamans and Hefins
and other noble statesmen Of that
type. X. Y. 2.

Young Marcus Hammett the Un-
fortunate Victim.

Young Marcus Hammett, the I.
year old son of Mr.. P. K. Hammett
who lives a few miles below th,
city on the Warrenton road, yer,
suddenly developed symptoms o
hydrophobia Friday morning. Dur
ing all of Friday and yesterday
morning the poor boy suffered hor
ribly, his paroxysms being SO in
tense as to necessitate the attend
ance of several persons in order tc
control his movements. There wa:
no mistaking the symptoms, the
frothing and gnashing of teeth pc
culiar to this dread disease being
plainly and strongly developed.
1t seems some eight or ten days
ago the boy was at house in the
neighborhood of the Jett place, and
happening to pass out of the door a
small dog stood directly in his path,
the boy advancing his foot in order
to brush the animal aside. Upon
this the dog rushed upon the boy
and snapped its teeth lightly into
his skin. The bite did not seem to
be serious or dangerous and no
pain was felt at the time, and moth
ing more was thought of it. On
Friday morning early his mother
went to him as usual to arouse him,
to find him covered up beneath his
blankets. and supposlng that Mar
Gus was oversleeping himself, drew
the covering aside. She then real
lied that her son was very i'll and
as soon as possible DR.. Haralson,
the family physician, was sum-
moned, who after making inquiries
soon satisfied himself that it was a
plain case of hYdrophobia. Yester-
day morning Doctors HARRISON,
Johnston and Martin were in con-
but realized that it was
almost a hopeless case, the only
treatment possible being the
administering of sedatives and
opiates, and last night it was con-
sidered that there were about ten
chances to one against his recovery.
From what can be learned, the
small dog, whose bite placed young
Hammett at deaths door, was it.
self bitten by larger dog day or
two previous. and it is supposed
the rabies was communicated in
that way.-Vicksburg Herald, roth.
Later reports give Hammett's
as somewhat improved.
