Card from C. L. Craig.

Seneca, September d.-Editors Keo-
wee Courier: desire, through your col
umns, to thank the friends who gave me
their support on the 2Sth, and also those
who have ever, at any time, assisted me
in other elections.
If am elected on the 11th will be
very grateful and will try to conduct the
business of the Office in as advanced a
way as possible.
at the time held the office there was
a great deal more work for the County
Superintendent to do than there is now.
II had the drudgery of book-swapping
and book-selling, which prevented me
from visiting the schools as much as I
desired or the people expected. The
Office was relieved of this requirement
during the last year served, but that
was too late for me to do much visiting
among the schools.
The county is being filed with false
reports about things which have done
and said. hope the people will not for
get that the wind gets full of talk be-
tween the two primary elections. I fur
ther wish to say that have never tried
to interfere with the races of candidates
for other offices, and am not doing 80 in
the present campaign.
In conclusion, ! wish to say that un-
derstand the office thoroughly and have
knowledge of all the branohesI'required
to be taught In the public schools of the
State.
The circumstances have been such as
to make it impossible for me tol make a
"house to house" canvass of the county,
but hope you will give me favorable
consideration, though have been una
BILE to see you. Very respectfully,
@. L. Craig.

ENTERED CRA|G-VERNER GO. STORE.
HENRY GREEN, THE LIGHT FINGERED AR.
TisT, GETS INTO TROUBLE AGAIN. 4

Henry Green, the greatest rogue of
which Walhalla has ever boasted, is in
Jail once more, with bright prospects OF
the penitentiary before him. Last Fri
day night, just after the elements had
delivered veritable deluge of rain,
Green entered the store of the Craig ver-
ner Mercantile Company, going in at the
side window, which he reached by using
ladder he had borrowed" from DR..
Bells yard, where it had been used in
painting. Ithappened that Night Watch
man Price caught glimpse of Green's
ssz.AsGs MslG's as they went into the window,
HaE&he took immediate steps to capture
the thief. Green also took few steps
on his own account and realizing that he
was discovered. made his escape through
another window, without having gotten
any goods and leaving his own shoes be-
hind him.
Mr. Price gave the alarm and search.
ing party was organized. Green was
chased almost to Oakway, then to the
outskirts of Seneca, and finally, heading
for homo, he was lost track of near West
-
The chase was given up temporarily, and
the plan of watching adopted. A little
before dark Saturday Green was seen by
some one sulking about in the woods
jnst outside ot town. About o O'Clock
Saturday night he was captured in
Brandt's pasture, and was then lodged
in jail, to await trial for house. breaking.
There are numerous other counts against
him, some of which will doubtless be
pushed, and altogether things promise
TO be interesting for Green at the next
term of court. He has for several years
been the bane of the chicken roosts in
this neighborhood, and in fact, red hot
stoves and things nailed down with 40
penny nails were about the only things
he couldn't "lift" successfully. Chickens
now sleep with both eyes shut and appa-
rently rest easier, while their owners
feel sense of security that was never
experienced while Green roam ed the
country. #.

Bailey's Criticism.

Senator Baileys criticism of the Presi- dent was made in response to d speech by MT. Carter lauding the chief executive in high terms, and contrasting his course with that of the Texas senator and other democrats, who had, he said, done com paratively little towards complying with the demands of the people for railroad legislation. MT Bailey accused the Presi- dent of variability and said that instead of being man of iron, he is man of clay land very common clay"
 The actual accomplishments of the day consisted fin the completion of the con of the Allison amendment cov- -ering the questions of a review by the courts of the orders of the Interstate com merce commission.
 There were several of these provisions and all were accepted as presented or suggested by the Iowa senator, showing an almost perfect agreement among re- publican senators. Instead, one of the noteworthy features of the day was the practical unanimity of the republicans. They not only voted almost solidly for the Allison amendments, but were just as nearly united against opposing proposi- tions. Senator Lafolette continued to act with the democrats.

Today the board of police commissioners issued an order that all private clubs cease dispensing liquor to members. Most of the clubs were burned. but all have secured temporary quarters in the un- burned section. A proclamation has been issued by Mayor Schmitz directing that all refugees be concentrated in two great camps. one to be located In the Potrero and the other at Golden Hate park. At present every square in the city and vacant lots are covered with tents of refugees Last night and today have been the coldest since the disaster and some of the refugees lying in the smaller camps suffered considerably. Retrench- ment in all municipal departments is the order that will go forth and general reduction in the citys working force with in the next thirty days will be the order.

Senator Aldrich and his followers on the other hand did not seem to be at all surprised over the developments and contented themselves by allowing Senator Carter, Senator Long and Senator Deliver to make very poor apologies for the course of the President None of the three sought to break down the argument put forward by Senator 'riilman, but contented themselves with praise of the President and the law which will go upon the statute books in a mutlated form.

 "CarmaclS retires after having served one term in the Senate. before which he was a member of the house of represen- tatives from the Tenth Tennessee dis trict. His home is in Memphis
 "Today's balloting marked the close of a long-drawn out campaign which has aroused more bitterness and general in terest in the state than any other political struggle since that in which Andrew John after the close of the civil war. Taylor's great personal popularity and the fact that he is perhaps better known to the voters of Tennessee than any other man prominent in public life in the last quarter of a century. proved obstacles that Car mack, despite brilliant campaign and a splendid organization. could not overcome.
 His Nativity.

J., and was admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1873, practicing in his native town but a short while before be- ing elected to Congress, where he served from 1879 to 1881.
