DROWNING OF Mr.. SAM TRANT.
Believed That His Horse Fell Upon Him
or Dragged Him to Death.

As briefly mentioned in the
Eagle yesterday morning, Mr.. Sam
Trant,the we'll known, popular and
well to do cattle man Of Martins
Prairie, Grimes county, was
drowned in Hog creek few hum
bred yards from his home on
Thursday. 1t appears from the re-
ports that Mr.. Trsnt left home
Thursday morning and crossed
Hog creek to 90 10 the house Of a
neighbor some three miles away to
see about some cattle. The stream
was somewhat swollen from rain
on his return, carrying probably
two foot rise, but no one saw MIN
when he attempted to cross. \
neighbor who came along after the
accident saw Mr.. Trant's horse
grazing on the bank OF the creek,
and thinking Mr.. Traut over in his
hog pasture near by, went and
called to him, but getting no re.
spouse, he became alarmed aud
went for two or three other parties
and search was instituted. The
body OF Mr.. Trant was found in
the creekljust below the ford; half
covered with mud and water, and
face down. One Of the stirrups of
his saddle was bent and twisted in
such a way as to indicate that his
foot had caught in it, and it is be.
lieved that his horse became fright.
ened or houndered in crossing the
ugly and muddy little stream and
either fell upon him or dragged
him to his death.
Mr.. Trant was about 60 years
old, and pioneer and leading cit
izen Of north Grimes county. He
was widely known and highly es-
teemed as a good man and sub.
stantial citizen, and was a mem
Der Of the Baptist church. He
leaves a family, and was a brother
of Mr.. W. P. Trant of Bryan. The
latter left yesterday morning with
the members of his family to at.
tend the funeral.

a severe shock TO friends through.

ANOTHER COTTON PEST.

Mr.. John Martin exhibited a
small green worm here today which
seems to attack the cotton squares
with more avidity than the much
feared boil weevil. In appearance
he is about half an inch long, per-
fectly green, is sharp at both ends
and makes a puncture about the
size OF turkey shot. The like of
him has never been seen here be-
fore.
Mr.. Martin says the worm at
tacks the squares, bores into them
like the weevil and stays there un.
Ill the life of the square is extract
ed. He also says that they are nu.
merous and bid fair to eat up all
the young cotton before the weevil
gets a chance at it.-Navasota Re-

We are inclined to agree that the
sentence in the case of Midshipman
Merdwether is severe enough, and will
avoid much Of the criticism that
might have ensued from a dismissal
from the naval academy. Meriwether
appears to have been the unfortunate
victim of a system that prevailed at
the academy system requiring per
sonaa differences to be settled with
fsticuffs 1t is pernicious system,
we believe. But it is not fair that
one midshipman should be made to
bear the brunt of public disapproVal
OF the system. The circumstances in
the case might easily have been re-
versed-Meriwether being the one TO
have fallen victim and Branch the one

at manslaughter- that was an unfor-
talnate result of the disgracefnl COM
bat. But the responsibility lies, not
with the nnidshipmen who took part,

that not only permitted but demanded

\ Senator Hansbrough, In vigorous
letter to the Grand Forks Herald en-
tiers a logical and well sustained OBJ
lection to the Misrepresentation Of his
position which Is attempted In East
ern magazines in articles upon ALASKA
Senator Hansbrough points out the
merit Of the proposed amendment Of
fered by him several years ago with
regard to Alaskan mining claims, and
calls attention also to the fact that
Pacific coast interests were active In
defeating the amendment, for their
own private interests. The state
ments being made with regard to this
matter, the senator says, are the same
ones that were printed privately sew
eral years ago in an attempt to harm
his political chances, and the print
ing was presumably paid for by the
same private interests that had axes
to grind in opposing the senator's
Alaskan amendment The senator's

morrow. ..z

MR.. TAYLOR SEEMS THE WINNER
In Election For Representative From
Sumter.

With two country precincts to hear
from this morning, the actual result of
yesterdays election for representative
IN the general assembly from Sumter
cannot be announced YET, though with
the figures at hand it seems favorable
for Mr.. Jas. Taylor.
His friends last night believed him
elected by safe plurality, basing this
opinion upon the~fact that be carried
this precinct by good vote, with hon
ors even in the country.
The Seventeenth and Twenty-eighth
precincts are yet to be heard from.
Mr.. Taylor has hopes of Carrying
both these districts, or at least break.
ing even with his opponent, Mr.. J. E.
Mathis, in each precinct. In all the
other precincts the total vole showed
that each contestant had fired well,
honors being even between them.
At Plains Mr.. Mathis had plurality
of 25 votes, while AndersonviIle gave
Mr.. Taylor plurality of 10 Leslie
precinct went for MIR. Mathis by a plu-
ra'lty Of votes.
These precinct, with he EDITION of
the two not yet heard from, poll each
a large vote,
The vote at the courthouse here was
surprisingly large considering the very
Indictment weather, 473 ballots bsing
cast here. OF this number Mr.. TAYLOR
received 270 and Mr.. Mathis 2O3. Mr..
Taylor thus has a plurality of 81 votes
IN the city precinct alone.
And if honors are even at the other
polling places heard from The vote in
the Twenty Eighth and in the Seven
'eenth districts maynot change the re-
suit even if not adding to Mr. TayIor's
vote
The vote from these two country pre-
cincts will be received this morning
and the total vote of the county can.
vassed and consolidated.
The election yesterday was to fill
the unexpired term of the late Repre-
sentative Lumpkin. Both candidates,
MIR. Taylor and Mr.. Mathis, are equally
popular; SO much 80 that many friends
of both would not vote for one yester-
day as against the other.
The election passed off quietly, the
best feeling prevailing.

HUNDREDS SEE GRAND DISPLAY
Opening Day in Americus a Great
Success.

Despite the threatening aspect OF the
weather yesterday the ladies of Ameri-
Gus turned out in force to attend the
millinery openings. and the "ohs" and
'ahs" of ecstatic admiration were heard
upon ev-ry side as the busy shoppers
fitted eagerly from store to store. To
a mere man who strolled through the
stores yesterday the beautiful hats
and the ''iovely" gowns seemed too
beautiful and too lovely to be battered
in trade and moved from the stores
where so much care had been taken
to make the surroundings beautiful
like the goods themselves. But not so
with the certainly not with
those who were QUITO see the beautiful
displays yesterday. They actually
thought the hats were to be sold, and
the Xii dhearted storekeepers complied
with some of the many requests made
of them and exchanged the hats for
mere dollars.
