ONE VOTE THAT GOT AWAY

Enough to Suit.

When the late Melbourne Fl. Ford
made his run for congress he over.
looked nothing that he thought would
improve his chances of election. One
OF his moves was the taking of an or
chestra to a meeting held in one OF
the small towns near Grand Rapids. re-
lates the Detroit Free Press.
This generous departure may have
won him several votes, but it a
tionably lost him one. Every village
has its character, and the one there
was Uncle Ike"
Whenever that orchestra broke forth
Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance
upon the bass drummer. During the
ordeal the jaws OF the village charnc-
ter worked lie those of a buck rabbit
eating cabbage, and his white beard Of
the spinach pattern waved furiousIy In
unison. Next morning one Of those
who had watched the 6ions OF Uncle

keeping in mind that he played the
bass drum in the local "sheepskin'
band, and that jealousy seems an IN
separable part of the musical temEB

LIVER sEYoND CONTROL.
Pensacola Ala rmed by Large In
crease of IvIague Patients.

crease of lpIngue Patients.
PENSACOLA, Ella, Oct. eighteen
new cases of yellow fever have devel-
soped in Pensacola during the day, a
large increase, attributed partially to
the rigid inspecbo on made by the citi-
zens' committee. This body appointed
one citizen to inspect each block The
inspection revealed many cases which
had not been reported. All were
among the lower classes.
The prevailing opinion is that the
fever is beyond contyol and that it will
remain in Pensacola until frost. The
efforts of the doctors are nov centered
principally in preventing a spread and
keeping the number of eases as small
as possible.
No deaths occurred during the day,
although there are Il number of pa
tients in the hospital and other places
who are expecszd to die before many
hours.
The obstacles thrown I'M the way of
the health officials by ignorant parties
has prevented the former from stamp
ing out the disease and conducting
the campaign against the ruosquito as
it should be conducted. AS a conse-
quence there are now nearly 100 cases
under treatment.
Many persons have left the city since
the establishment of the detention
camp by, the marine hospital service,
and more will follow, as the fever
seems to be spreading to all portions
of Pensacola.

down the Tennessee River encounter
ing hundred dangers. His message
was for Sherman to drop everything
and make forced march to Chatta-
nooga, 800 miles away. We crossed the
river on couple of gunboats at Flor
ence, Ala, and started on the hard
tramp with great hurrah. Those who
had horses gave them to the footsore
and the marchers who broke down at
the roadside. I was Adjutant Of the
regiment, and had two good horses but
l walked every foot Of the way to
Chattanooga. Never in my life have I
seen such gratitude as shone in the
faces of the brokendown soldiers when
helped into the officers saddles. To be
left behind meant death at the hands
of the guerrillas who hung like wolves
at the sides of our columns in every di-
rect1on. If we heard shooting at the
roadside, we generally knew that some
comrade had been ambushed and
killed.
One morning, it was Oct 25, there
was heavy fog, and our advance ran
into force of the enemy We were
ambushed, and lost 100 men and the
brave Col. Terrence, of the Goth Iowa,
in half an hour. The little battle
scarcely stopped us in our hurried
march. We lifted the wounded into
the wagons. buried the dead at the
roadside, and pushed on. At last we
saw in the distance the dim top of
Lookout Mountain. Every soul took
cheer and hurried, for now yet other
messengers met US, telling us the great
battle was about to begin. This eag-
erness of soldiers to reach a battlefield
where wounds, or death, are almost
sure to meet them, will never be ex-
planned. Usually. however, the hur-
rying soldiers count on victory and
glory, and what glory in this world is
there to compare with the laurels won
by men on the battlefield! 1t is be-
cause all has been staked on the aw-
full venture. Men who offer ther lives
for a principle have the worlds admir-
alton. The tenderest woman will love
a hero; courage, valor, are the virtues
the world applauds; and SO we sol
diers hurried our steps. Even the

AMILABLE SETTLEMENT SOUGHT.
Millikens Would Not Accept Lucas
"Give or Take" Offer.

A dispatch from Charleston to the
Greenville News Monday night says:
The effort recently mado by the Lu-
cas- element of Laurens Cotton Mill
stockholders to bring about an amicable
settlement of the controversy with the
Miliikens by "give and take offer"
has failed. The Lucas crowd offered to
buy the Millilken stock and all other
stock Offering at $170 q share, or If
they were unwilling to sell, to sell the
stock Of the Lucas crowd at the same
figures. The Millikens would name no
selling figure, their position being that
they do not care to sell at all, but the in
formation was received that they might
buy at 16O a share. This the Lucas
people declined and again asked that
the Millikens name selling figure.
Finally another intimation came that
the Millikens might be induced to pay
$165, but this was promptly declined by
Lucas, who again asked that they
name price, intimating that $170 was
not necessarily the highest price he
was willing to pay. The Millikens have
not made any positive offer. The nego
tiations were conducted by the Lucas
people with John B. Cleveland of Spar
tanburg, who is friendly to the Milli-
kens, but who throughout the contro-
versy has sincerely desired and advised
an amicable adjustment. Judge Pritch-
ard has granted an order permitting
Lucas to appeal from the order enjoin-
ing him against proceedings in the
State courts, also an order striking out

The most delightful social event of
the past week was the entertainment to
the Fortnightly Club given by Mrs. j.

at four o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
guests were hidden simply to the usual
club meeting, but found upon being ad-

that All Halloween and witchcraft were
already abroad in the land. Score cards,
exquisiteiy decorated by hand with frol-
icsome elves, witches heads, and spirits
of every description, each bearing u
quotation appropriate to the occasion
were distributed by which the players
found their places at the tables for a
game of Nations. The parlors were
decorated with handsome chrysant,.e-

when the refreshments came on for a
delicious salad was discovered in glow

dainty sweets. After the refreshments
were served maids and matrons were
alike requested to investigate the
secrets of the future by cracking golden
walnuts. Dame fortune evidently was
in good humor with this particular
coterie for much merriment followed
the cracking of the mysterious nuts
though some of the guests refused TO
divulge the secrets of the fates.
