Most Koreans were tired OF the
Japanese regime, whose reforms were
a little too rapid for their cOnservas
tisni. They were Mortified also at
the murder Of the Queen and when it
became certain that U-Pom-sun was
a refugee to JaDan, there were loud
demands that he be sent home for
punishment; but Japan refused to sur
render him, asserting that his crime
was political and that he was not ex-
tradtable.
A band of Koreans took vow that
they would never rest till U-Pom-sun
had paid for the tragic death pf the
Queen with his life. But the man
whom they sent to Japan to Kill the
regicide could not find him.
He was living in retirement and
under an alias. 1t was not till October
last that his out of the way place OF
concealment was discovered and the
man recognized.

One Of the nurderers Of the Queen
OF Korea, who fed the country and
has been living in Japan, has fallen
a victim to her avengers. 1.-TWO men
were sent to kill him. and they have
fulfilled their mission.
The matter has been Kept quiet
because Japan cannot surrender the
murderers or condemn and execute
them without giving grave offense to

The facts, however. were published
IN that country recently.
After Japan's triumph over China,

THE GAIN,

THE GAIN
Little by little we gain
In clearing the wrongs away;
Little by little we push along,
though gold is mighty and greed is
strong
But, God, what a price to pay
Little by little we cleave
The mountains Of selfishness;
Little by little we push ahead,
But, o the innocent lying dead
And the past that is pitiless,,
Little by little the ones
To whom we are calling heed:
Little by little the madness dies.
The madness that looks out of selfish
eyes;
The merciless plague of greed.
Little by little we gain,
But scattered along the way,
The awful way through which we
have come,
Are the heaps of innocerts, still and
dumb
o God, what a price to pay.

BUILDING OF BRIDGES
SUBJECT DISCUSSED BY BOARD
 or REVENUE.
Engineers Advocate Better Founda- ttons and Stesl Structures-Coun- tvs Gravel May be Hauled
 by an Engine.

The building of bridges was discussed at length and without result at the regu- lar weekly meeting of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County yester- day.
 At previous meeting engineers who advocated brick and stone foundations, appeared before the Board and in lengthy technical discussicn laid forth the ad- vantages of building bridges in this man ner: Yesterday they again appeared before the Board and urged the supe- riority of building solid foundations for the bridges Instead of wooden supports.
 Advocates of steel bridges also appear cd before the body and argued that the durable steel bridges were cheaper and more satisfactory in the course of time than the wooden structures. The en- gineers held the close attention of the Board, but at the conclusion of their arguments, no action was taken.
 An agent of the Land and Industrial Department of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company appeared before the Board in the interest of a pamphlet, describing the advantages of the South of which a large number of copies will be distributed. The Board of Revenue was asked to purchase a number of copies at 10 cents per hundred. No ac- tion was taken.
 w. H. Vaughn. a prominent planter of the Carter Hill Road. appeared before the Board in the interest of experiment. ing with his traction engine in the haul ing of gravel. In his opinion 1t could be hauled more expeditiously with an en- zine than with wagons. As soon as a sufficient number of cars can be secured, the experiment will be made
 The Board adjourned until Monday.

 The presence of Senator Tom s. Fraser of Bullock County. in the city yesterday gave rise to the rumor that he was a candidate for the appointment of Secre- tary of State.
 MT. Fsasers friends say that he is not a candidate In the general acceptance of the term. He Is, they say making no sort of fight for the honor but would accept 1t if rendered him. A number of prominent citizens of the State, 1t Is said are occupying the same position as MT. Fraser. They have gone no further than informing the appointive power that the honor would be highly appreciated. The names of many of these tentative candidates. 1t is said, have not been made public.
 The announcement officially made yes- terday that Acting Governor Cunning. ham would make the appointment, has greatly cleared the situation. The can- didates for the office had, until that time. been at sea. Those who were making A fight along old political lines, with on. dorsements and claims for party service did not know which way to bend their energies.
 The appointment it is confidently be- lieved will be made within the next week by Acting Governor Cunningham.
