The cause of franchise extension is
making great progress i'm Europe at the
present time, and in half q dozen Eu-
ropean countries radical changes in the
brought about. though in one country.
Germany. there is tendency towards
suffrage rather than towards further
extension. In Russia. popular suffrage
such as it is. is being granted for the
first time in national affairs. 1t is a
pretty POOR substitute for the real
thing as known in republican countries.
but is better than nothing. In Hum
gary the King is pushing Il scheme of
universal Suffia age, irrespective OF race
or language. In Austria the Emperor
has yielded to the demand for the
substitution of universal and equal
manhood suffrage for the obnoxious
class system. Finally. in Sweden the
royal government has committed itself
to the grant of universal suffrage. In
Sweden the movement is Of special in
terest. since one OF the reasons which
brought about the dissolution of the
union between Sweden and Norway
was the fact that Norway practiced
universal suffrage. while more aristo-
cratic Sweden did everything TO restrict
suffrage, but now that Sweden stands
by itself. it proposes TO do what was
done long ago in Norway and bring
about a sweeping and really revolu-
tiOnary reform

Charlie Cooper, who lives near Flat
Top, In the western part of the County.

day on a warrant sworn out by Coro-

1t is alleged that he shot and killed
Gus Byram, whose dead body was

giving her name as Matte Reece was
discovered In Birmingham suffering

act. The plant is of the cactus fam
lily and Miss Blount's specimen. which
is considered very handsome one, Is
seven feet tall. The plant has the ,un-
usual characteristic of propagating 1t
self through it's leaves and In the rare
moments when 1t blooms the flowers
are horne upon the leaves. One of tho
leaves upon Miss Biount's plant last
night bore five exquisite blossoms.
Those who gathered last night to
admire the beauty of the plant in full
bloom and who had seen others OF Its
kind united in saying that Miss
Blount's plant was the handsomest
that they had ever seen. The blossoms
in a way resembled lilies. but they
were more delicate and ethereal. They
were of a creamy white and their fra
GRANGE was sweet and penetrating. The
plant, in the semi-darkness where 1t
was kept, for II likes not the light.
was white pillar Of fragrance and
LONELINESS.
The plant bloomed without warming.
1t was discovered in the act of unfold
ing its loveliness at dark yesterday
afternoon and from then until mid
night 1t was dressed In Its most ra-
diant garb. At midnight the beautiful
blossoms closed and the show of beau
| ty was over.
