Slipped Into the Sea.

The Charleston c. respondent OF
The State says section OF the front
beach on Sullivans Island, extencing
over an area Of 100 feet by $50 feet,
was washed away at O'Clock Friday
morning, leaving an excavation of 80
to 80 feet deep. The landslide oc-
CURED in front OF the Pringle and
Noises houses, the cave-in reaching
within 20 feet Of the residences.
With the extension Of few more feet,
the residences might have been
wrecked and lives lost and injured
during the hours OF night, when the
inmates OF the houses were all asleep.
The cave in is supposed to have teen
caused by the currents washing away
the beach. The point OF the island
where the cave in occurred Is next to
the jetties, the narrowest part of the
channel. The constant Swirling Of
the warter between the stone grill
lagos, which are on each side Of the
place that was washed out, probably
undermined the beach and caused the
landslide. A small boat which was
high and dry on the beach has been
lost, swept into the vortex and car
ried probably down the coast. A
similar washout, but not as large, oc-
Cured few years ago. The cave. in
has caused much excitement among
the nervous people on the island, who
are fearing other landSlides.

FX-BANDIT JAMES
Quits the Democratic Party and
Joins the Republicans.

Frank James, ex Confederate, ex-
bandit and lifelong Democrat, says
the New York World, at Indepen.
dence, Mo-, in his address to the sur
viving embers of Quantrell's band OF
brush fighters, exploded a political
bomb which all but disrupted the
meeting. Not only did the bandit
renonuce allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party, but to his own native
state as well, which was considered
by the war-scarred veterans as little
less than treason.
Had not some of his friends forcibly
pushed him from the crowd, the court
house gard in the Independence might
have been the scene of a conflict re-
calling border days.
1t has been known among his
friends that since the Missouri legisla-
ture four years ago refused to elect
James door-keeper OF the lower house
he has been sore over the defeat.
Holding his hands above his hea

time Quantrell followers:
Il have been in Ohio, Pennsylvania
hate because they gave birth to the
Federal troops we hated so well, and
their people have treated me like a
man. But here In Missouri, among
my own people l am unhonored.
Then why should | not turn to
the belief Of the people who have in
my declining years proved my friends.

guerilla, boys, but l am no longer a
Democrat. This year 1 vote the
straight Republican ticket from
Roosevelt down the line, the same as
the people will vote 1t who have been
my friends in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other states"
So deep was the wound that James
inflicted on the veterans that when
the old followers OF Quantrell held
their annanl election or officers later,
they refused to honor the ex-bandit
with the title OF captain.

DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT.
Hoke Smith Declares That Park er's
Chances Improve Daily.

Chances Improve Daily.
The Atlanta Journal says Hoke
Smith, former secretary OF the In
terror, has just returned from trip
to the east. Mr.. Smith spoke In the
borough OF Queens in answer to q
speech OF Secretary Shaw, made a
short time before. The New York
papers were enthusiastic over Mr..
Smiths presentation of the Demo-
cratic idea, and such leading papers
as the Brooklyn Eagle, New York
World, New York Times and others
editorially approved his speech. Mr..
Smith visited Judge Parker, whom he
has long known intimately, and says
that the judge is in the best Of health
and spirits and feels confident that
the people OF the country cannot fail
to endorse the sensible, clear, and
constitutional platform set forth by
the Democracy.
MIR. Smith is very jubilant over
Democratic prospects, and among the
encouraging things he says:
Judge Parker is receiving loads OF
letters every day from Republicans
voluntarily proiferlng their support.
They say that they desire to Ieturn
to a government Of the fathers, a
government administered in accor-
dance with the law of the land and
the constitution"
Speaking OF New Jersey Mr.. Smith
says that the Democratic managers
are confident of their ability to carry
1T for Parker and Davis.
MIR. Smith talked with Chairman
Taggart and is certain OF Mr.. Tag
gart's ability to carry Indiana. Mr..
Taggart says if ne don't carry Indiana
he will quit politics forever. Mr..
Smith feels more confident about the
result than he has since 1892, and
says.
If we don't win this time am
the worse fooled man In the world.
The conditions are very similar to
those OF 1892, and all the regular
Democrats OF tile country as well as
the independents are against Roose-
velt. The independent press is unani-
nous for Parker; the independent yot-
ers are all for Parker; the happily re-
united Democracy Is q unit for Par
kcr; Tammany Is enthusiastic for
Parker; and l cannot see for him a
possible defeat.n

How He Would Have Settled the
American slav. question.


1t Is sometimes interesting to hark
back q few decadea and bring back
some Of the forgotten episodes of the
great War Between the States. The
recently published letters Of John
Ruskin, the great English writer and
tritic, reveal some of his ideas about
the gigantic struggle that was going
on this side the water. The letters
were written to Charles Elliott Norton
Of Boston and the following is good
samples:
"The miserablest idiocy of the
whole has been. your mixing up fight
for dominion (the most insolent and
tryannical, and the worse conducted,
in all history with sol distant fight
for liberty. II you want the slaves to
be free, let their masters go free first,
In Gods name. If they don't like to
be governed by you, let them govern
themselves. Then, treating them as
stranger State, If you like to say,
You shall let that black fellow 90 or
ETC., as a brave boy would fight
another for fag at Eton-do so: but
you know perfectly well no fight could
be got up on those terms; and that
this fight Is partly, for money, partly
(as those wretched Irish whom you
have inveighed into it show) for wild
anarchy and the devils cause and
crown everywhere. AS for your pre-.
cious proclamation (emancipat!on)-
a gift Of that which is not to be
given
by all the assembled powers Of earth
and heaven
If had 1t there-there's a fine north
wind blowing, and would give it to
the first boy l met to fly it at his
kites TAIL"
This was written in 1863, and while
the issues OF that day are now almost
ancient history it is interesting to
southern people to recall how one OF
the most eminnet English scholars and
thinkers regarded the position taken
by the north, and what he thought of
the proclamation OF emancipation.
There were many great men in Eng
land who thought as Ruskin did,
though they did not at all times ex,
press themselves in such plain lang
uage.

President Roosevelt ordered the carry.

Black, alias Edmund Seaborn, had
stolen 81 100 OH bogus telegroms.
According to Laney's story his father

bogus kilograms for money to con-
federate who travelled from city to
city. Laney was forced to leave Dal-

time he and his confederate have
travelled extensively over the country,
visiting st. Louis, Kansas City and
Baltimore, where they separated,
Laney coming then to Atlanta. From
here he sent telegram to young
woman In Dallas, which led to his ar

gust IL, alleges that during the previ-
GUS week j. T. Laney, clerk, by CO.
operation with e. S. Black, conspired
TO swlndle the company and did Sc
cure from the company the sums of
$500, $400 and s400, aggregatin 81
100, and that all trace OF the offend
ers was lost. The scheme was this:
A young man entered the office at
Memphis and asked for $500 tele
graphed from Dallas for him. He
was told that no such amount had
been received, but telegram to Dal-
las confirmed the deposit here of the
amount and the sum was delivered.
at st. Louis $400 was secured in the
same way and at Chicago the same
plan worked. AT this end, when the
query was received Laney, 1t is al |
legged, would inform the operators
that the amonnG had been deposited.
he made no record or entry on the
books.
Wednesday telegram from Laney
was received here for young woman.
Her reply was sent and instructions
given that detectives accompany the
messenger boy. Laney formerly lived
IN Augusta and was widely known.

STRANGE SEA. STORY.
Abandoned Vessel Frees Itself from

Abandoned Vessel Frees Itself from
Reefs and Drifts 20 an Island.
A strange story OF the sea OF q de.
serted vessel sailing about with not a
soul aboard comes from Sydney, Aus
tralia.
The British bark DumfrIesshire
while bound from Dunedin, New
Zealand, to Nohoue, on the west coast
of New Caledonia, to load cargo Of
nickel ore struck a reef the early part
of July.
The vessel was under full sail at
the time she hit one Of the submerged
coral reefs abounding in that danger
GUS locality. Captain Taylor and his
crew OF eighteen men considered the
situation such perilous one that it
was resolved to abandon the vessel be.
fore she sank. Accordingly the crew
made their way ashore to the island
during the night, taking such effects
and clothing as they could. When
daybreak came the vessel had disap-
peared from view.
She has foundered and gone to the
BOTTOM" declared the captain, and he
and the crew gave devOut thanks for
having left the vessel In time to save
their lives. Subsequently q passing
steamer was hailed and responded to
signals of distress.
The crowd OF castaways was taken
aboard, and all hands were positive
In their declaration that the Dunn
frlesshire had gone to the bottom the
master Of the steamer made no fur
ther search for the wrecked craft, but
proceeded on his course. The true
fate Of the missing vessel subsequent
ly was learned.
During the night that the captain
and crew abandoned the supposed
sinking craft the vessel gradually
worked her way of the reef. She had
not been damaged to any serious ex-
tent by striking the reef, so when the
rising tide came up and the wind
shifted the vessel slipped Off the reef
easily, as If band of tugs had drawn
her. The vessel then started ON a
voyage on her own hook. She sailed
hfty miles around the island and final.
ly came to safe anchorage at a place
called Peum. A white settler noticed
strange and unexpected vessel bear
Ing down upon his little island. The
craft seemed to navigate in an odd
way; certainly whoever was handling
her did so in way that the settler
had never seen before.
When the vessel all but went
aground he decided; that some crazy
sort OF an individual was running the
craft. The settler went out to the
vessel, and to his establishment saw
that the craft was completely desert
ed. He appreciated the opportunity
however for ne at once let go both
ancho.s aud claimed her as a prize.
The craft is an iron bark OF l, 1862
tons gross and was built in 1877. She
Is valued at about at about s75, 1000.
The new owner of the beat Is waiting
for people to come along and pay him
salvage on the prize that was literally
loated to his front door.

A TEST VOTE VOTE
OF the New York American Gives
Parker Big Gain.
WATSON MAKES POOR SHOWING
Canvass or Over Seven Hundred
Voters Shows That the Demo.
orats Are Flocking Back
to The PARTY.

During three days last week The
New York American took a straw
vote In New York on the Presidential
elections. A canvass Of TIA voters was
made. They are representative, and
the result shows some interesting
facts, the most significant being that
the Democrats who bolted Bryan in
1000 are coming back to Parker, and
that laboring men show growing IA
voritism toward Watson and Debs.
People in all the walks OF life were
seen. Wall street sentiment was test
ed by means OF canvass OF the Broad
Exchange building. On Sunday re-
pOrters saw members CT the Central
Federated Union at their meeting.
Saturday afternoon 400 persons cross
ing Brooklyn Bridge gave their choice
for President, and Monday at the noon
hour canvas was made OF the en-
ployeS Of the Uneeda Biscuit factory.
COMPARED WITH 1900.
Effort was made to get the vote of
1900 and the contemplated changes.
In the Broad Exchange Building
Judge Parker makes heavy inroads
into the Mckinley column of 1900.
The same Is true as to the voters who
daily cross the Bridge. Among the la
boring people Parker does not com
mand the full Bryan strength, but
Roosevelt does not reap correspond
Ing advantage. The laboring men
think kindly OF Debs, and Tom Wat.
sons speech and platform are also
winning favor with them,
In the Broad Exchange building, of
the l45 lawyers, brokers and Stock
Exchange men seen, 20 iD 1900 voted
for Bryan. Parker will get 63 OF this
number, Roosevelt 81 and Watson / :.
Fifty have changed from Mckinley to
Parker. Two of the Broad Exchange
Bryan men will vote for Roosevelt.
One Of the Bryan men will vote for
Roosevelt, he says, because "Roose-
velt is nearer the common people
than Parker and his crowd.'' The
Parker men who were Mckinley men
in 1900, many of them say, are mere
ly coming back to the regular Democ-
racy.
One Broad Exchange member said
he believed Roosevelt would bring
about trouble in the South IL re-elect-
ed. Another said he feared the Prcsi.
dent would Involve US in a war with d
foreign country and another said he
would vote for Parker because he be-
lieved in the ''law and the Consti-
tuition as against bluster and the big
stick"
