Columbia, Dec. 3.-Attorney General
Leroy f. Youmans died at his home here
this morning in his seventythird year.
He had been in failing health for some

made Assistant Attorney General last
year, vice w. FL. Townsend resigned,
and became Attorney General few
months later on the death Of Attorney
General Gunter. He offered for election
in the primary this summer and made
splendid race, although he was too fee-

ings.
He served tho Confederacy as q MEM

Hampton's administration, succeeding
Attorney General Connor, who resigned

Silence on soa,h.n System.

For the first time in the history of tho
Southern Railway there was period Of
Ave minutes Sunday when there was an
entire suspension Of all work throughout
the whole system.
Not train turned wheel Even
those which were between stations, dash
ing to their destinations with passengers
and mail, or rumbling to depots with
loads Of freight came to standeti!!.
Every man In all shops, at every termi-
nal, on every coal chute and at each sta
tion ceRsod work at the hour and not q
hammer or whistle sounded from
Washington: TO Meridian; every telegraph
instrument from one end of the line to
the other was hushed and the silence was
absolute.
This was the quiet mark of respect to
Samuel Spencer, the dead president who
had created the Southern system and
made it what it is. 1t was the hour of
his funeral in Washington and there was
not an employee of the road, from the
highest to the lowest, who. did not under
stand the meaning of the tribute and
halt in his daily task to acknowledges his
recognition of the occasiOn.
Every Office of the Southern has been
draped in mourning and the crepe will
remain hung above their doors for thirty

ye correspondent Is reminded of the fol-

he had bought his Thanksgiving turkey.
His reply was, mo, sir; got nothing to
be thankful for" Now, this same friend
has beautiful wife, two splendid babies
and good looks enough Of his own to
make him thankful that he is not like
(some) other men. In striking contrast
we are reminded of this story, told of an
old Confederate soldier: Upon visit of
o comrade, who was sympathizing with
him on the loss of a log aud arm and an
eye In the lost cause, the friend added,
"Yes, and you have lost your teeth, too"
"Yes," replied the old soldier. 'but I've
got two left and they hit. always was
