A Sketch of w. n. Cox.

W. NJ. Cox was born in Steph ems
port, KY, May 2, 1872 and died
March 90, 1904. He was the eldest
son of ]. P. and l.. Kate Cox, grand
son of the late Rev. VIM Head and
also of Vim. s. Cox, deceased.
At the age of thirteen his parents
removed to Henderson county, KY,
which county he resided until the past
few years. In the year 1894 ne was
united In marriage to Miss Pattie
Rudd, of Corydon, who, together with
three little children, survive his loss.
When seventeen years of age, after
profession of faith, he united with
the First Baptist Church, of Hender-
son, of which church he was faith
tul advocate until few months since,
at which time he was greatly revived
IN spirit and decided that his duty

long been of this faith.

ed with ties, left Cerulean for the pur-
pose for distri puting necessary mat e.
rial of repairing the track for some
miles distant. They had been gone

distance of about seventeen miles and
were crossing the bridge over Little
River, which runs through Hopkins
vile. The train had been moving
slowly and 80 or 40 men were scatter
ed the length of the train to prevent
the ties coming in contact with the
bridge ratings.
One tie slipped out of place, catch
ing the deceased below the knees,
turning him several somersauits, and
casting him into the water below,

morning at which place the body was
prepared for burial. 1t was then re-

Dowle on the Race Problem.

San Antonio, Texas, January 16.-John
Alexander Dowie (Elijah Restorer) and
his six deacons leave tomorrow for San
Francisco on q trip to Australia. Dowie
attended the opening of Hot Sulphur
Wells Tourist Hotel this morning and
entered his protest against the lavish sill
yer service and the stuffed pig on the
menu.
This afternoon he addressed about
5000 people in local auditorium. He
wanted to make himself clear on the race
question. He said the Anglo-Saxon race
is superior to the negro race, but that there
was q time when the black brother was
superior to the white and the white man
should be just to the negro and endeavor
to lift him up. Whatever tho difference
In race might be on earth, the white
man and black man were brothers be-
fore God.
Dowie found fault with the Southern
people, in that they were too sleepy aud
slow, not up-to- date, and he ridiouled
the slow time by the railroad, whose
guest he has been during the past several
days. His only reference to the pros
peotive establishment of Zion City and
plantation on the Texas Coast was con-
tanned in the statement that he might al
some near date become neighbor of the
people of San Antonio.

ger train, No. 76, east bound, on the Sea-
board Air Line, was held up one mile
east of Sanderson, at As O. 'clock tonight
BY four white men. The door of the

mite, the robbers mistaking this car for
the express car. The engine was stopped
by a.volley OF shots fired into the cab.
The fireman and engineer were taken off
the engine and escorted to the second
class coach, and the robbers ran the
train ahead about n half mile, when they
blew open the baggage car. The train
conductor went forward, but was driven
back to the coaches. Conductor l.. S.
Peck, who was deadheading over the
line, called for firearms and volunteers.
N. Fl. Harrison, claim agent of the
road; B. b. McCaa, travelling auditor,
and j. @. Williamson, travelling freight
agent, responded and the four went for
ward, opened fire and drove the robbers
off. Conductor Peck took the throttle
and ran the train four miles down the
road. The robbers got no booty aud
made no attempt to rob the passengers,
but there was great excitement in the
passenger coaches while the firing was
going on.

Gen. stephen .. Lee.

The recent death Of Con. James Long
street leaves Gen. y. ID. Lee, Of Missis-
sippi, the ranking survivor OF the long
list of Confederate generals.
Gen. Lee is at present a member Of
the Vicksburg National Park Commis-
sion. a position which he accepted seye-
raj years ago on resigning the Presi-
.dency of the a gr;oultural and Mechani-
cal College at Starkyille. Gen. Lee is
also president OF the Historical Associa-
tion and president of the board Of trus-
tees of the Department of Archives and
History at the present time. He has al
ways taken special interest In histori-
cal matters and has contributed greatly
to the success OF tho recent historical
movement in that State. His home is at
Columbus.
Gen. Lee was born in Soeth Carolina
and moved to Mississippi after the war.
He graduated from West Point and en-
tered the artillery arm of tho service.
he was captain at tho beginning of the
war and commanded the artillery of
Beauregard's army at the bombardment
of Fort Sumter. He also was in COM
mand in the same branch at tho first bat.
tie OF Manassas, and was soon afterwards
promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gene
raj for gallant conduct on the field. He
was afterward promoted successfully to
the rank Of Major and Lieutenant Gone
raj. Gen. Lee saw much active service
during the war. During the siege OF
Vicksburg he was in command Of di.
vision. He checked Sherman's advance
at Chickasaw Bayou, feat which was
regarded as gaining decided advantage
for the Confederates. During the latter
part of the war he was in command OF
the department of the Mississippi and
took prominent part in the campaign
In tho northern part Of tle State. He Ii
believed to be the youngest man ad.
vanced to the rank he attained on the
Confederate side.
Moving to Mississippi after tue war,
he engaged for a time in planting. he
represented his district in the State Sen.
ate in 1878, and was chosen president OF
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
on its organization in 1880. The success
of that institution is due largely to his
administration.

To Weigh tho Mails.

The railroads and the post Office au-
thorities are arranging to weigh the
mail matter handled by the railroads
throughout the country.
In short time the weighing will
commence and will be kept up every
day for 80 days. Each railway mail
clerk will weigh all the mail matter he
receives from each post office, and each
postmaster will weigh all the mail he de-
livers and receives from the railroads.
The three separate weights will be COM
pared and checked up, and upon this
basis the Government will make con.
tracts with the railroads for hauling the
mails.
The mails are weighed in this manner
once every four years, and the contract
is made for the succeeding years upon
the basis of weights shown for the
month during which the weighing Ia
made.
Four years ago quite scandal de-
veloped in connection with this weigh.
ing. Some of the railroads, it was
claimed, padded their weights. Some OF
the railroads had friends In Congress
who used their franks to send out large
quantities Of Government reports and
other deadhead mail matter along the
roads interested and desiring to mako O
heavy showing. The scheme was de
tected by the post Office authorities and
quite o scandal grew out of 1t.
Every preoaution will be taken by the
postoffice authorities to prevent o repeti
tion of such occurrence this year.
1t is likely that the weighing will com
mence on the railroads within the mex
80 days. The weighing will be In pro-
gress in oil parts Of the country at tn,
same time. Columbia Record.

song OF Heroes.
All honor TO our heroes,
The loyal men and true
Who front the flame of battle,
Whose names the years renew!
They live In song aud story,
We shrine them In our hearts
Mid trailing clouds of glory,
These men of mighty parts.
All hail the men courageous,
Who breast tumultuous seas;
Defying cold and tempest,
They scorn our days of easel
Their stress and their endeavor
Are tuned to piping gales;
Their deeds are sung wherever
Men know the CLEAN Of sails.
And yet unpumbered heroes
Live noble lives among
The baunts of home and kindred,
Unheralded, unsung;-
They turn their strength toward duty,
They strike the wrong with might,
Their deeds are white with beauty,
Their standard waves for right.
Then honor to the heroes
Who fight the foes within,
Who rally round their Leader
To quell the hosts of sim
Their courage is the highest,
Their warfare is the best;
Their valiant deeds are highest
A loving Gods behest.

Dyke how many he thought there
were. "About forty, l think, is the
number usually conceded" he re-
piled. 81 always understood there
we're fifty" demonstrated another
student. "Well, possibly there were,' u
replied the doctor; "but then there
must have been at least ten of the
knights constantly on the road en-
gagged in their different quests and
pleasures around King Arthur's
realm" "Oh, yes" burst forth an
irrepressible Senior, "Arthur's Ten
Nights in Bar-room."-Saturday
