TUSCUMBIA, Ala, Jan. 90.-The
anti-whiskey citizens of Leighton,
this county, though they lost in the
recent fight, are undismayed, and are
gathering strength for renewal of
the struggle in March, when there
will be a city election. They propose
to elect a new Council in sympathy
with the anti-saloon movement, and
these have already announced 1t is

STANDING OF The CANDI-
DATES FOR GOVERNOR.

The thirty-seven votes of Dyer and
Upton counties, which went to Pat
terson as a result of the conventions
in those counties Monday, makes the
vote in the Gubernatorial race now
stand: Cox, 1874; Patterson, 156, and
Bond, 79. The Patterson stock went
up several notches Monday night
when the result in the counties men
toned were ascertained In conse-
quence there was as much rejoicing
among the supporters of the Mem
phis candidate as there was the night
of the Gibson primaries. The result
had correspondingly depressing eff
feet in the camp of Judge Bonds sup
porters, although that gentleman's
friends say that their candidate is in
the fight to the finish and will not
abate his efforts one iota. 1t is an
nOuneed that next week Judge Bond
will invade East Tennessee begin
ming Monday with speech at

LONG DISTANCE PHOTOGRAPHY .

Special to the Herald.
Vienna, Jan. 31.-Much interest is
manifested in the new method of long
distance photography discovered by
Dr. Korn. Public experiments. re-
Gently conducted have shown that a
cabinet size picture can be transmit
ted over hundreds of miles in twenty
or thirty minutes. Owing to the cost
it is not likely that the invention will
come into general use for personal
photographs, but as it is equally APP
plicable to the production of sigma
lures, documents and sketches, the
system, which is now available for
public use, is expected to be of con-
siderable service to the press, and tor
ends of justice.

A GERMAN
SILVER MAN.
PECULIAR PHYSICAL PHENoME-
NON AT BERLIN.

Special to the Herald.
Berlin, Jan. 31.-A leading medical
journal prints a singular story Of a
German whose skin has lately
changed gradually from it's ordinary
character to a mixture of amal2am
of flesh and silver, with the prospect
in the near future, if this extraordi-
nary developments continues, of pO-
ssessing an epidemic of metal. The
change is reported by the medical
paper to be due to a prescription,
given by the mans doctor, in which
nitrate of silver figured prominently.
1t was administered in the form of
pills, and was intended to cure
nervous complaint. The remedy
proved so effective that the patient
had recourse to the same sort of pills
for every complaint from which he
afterward suffered, and dosed himself
with them. After eleven
years of this treatment his friends
began to notice that his face had
peculiar metallic hue, and to his as
he found that his body all
over had the same strange appear
ance. He took no more silver pills.
but it was then too late to arrest |
the process which had been set up. |
Since then he has become more and
more metallic and shiny.

The County Democratic Executive

The County Democratic Executive
Committee did fine thing Saturday
when they passed resolution to pre-
vent the use of money and whiskey and
other corrupting influences in the com
ing primary election. All honor to the
committeeman and to the candidates
who forced this resolution TO the
front, and especial credit is given and
should be given to James A. Smiser,
Esq, for his magnificent speech in its
behalf. Giles County, with many as
good people in it as may be found in
the world, is reproach and by-word
since its recent primary, and Maury
will be in the same class unless some
thing is done to check the habit and
growth of bribery and corruption in the
elections of this county. We can re
member very we'll when the general i'm
preston prevailed that "niggers" and
niggers only sold their votes. And in
those days influential negroes were
bought for their 'huence. But
things have changed. The negroes have
been disqualified to large extent by
the election laws, and now the bulk
of the money goes to the buying of
white folks. Poor trash white folks?
No. Half of it sticks to the fingers
and the Innings of the pockets of the
ward and district bosses, who now are
bought and paid for their 'fluence" just
as the negroes used to be; and it is
time that public sentiment was letting
this class Of election heelers know and
feel and understand the contempt in
which they are held by decent fClk. And
last-or rather first and most, RESPONSE
BILE of all, have been the candidates
themselves and their managers. II a
candidate will in honest purpose and |
genuine good faith, frown upon and dis
these frauG ulent and cor
rupting methods being used IN his
behalf, they will not be used to any
considerable extent; and If he will APP
point as his managers men who are
above such low practices they will not
be used at all. Which brings the argu-
ment at last to the logical conclusion
that the candidates the mselves are re
sponsible for all the corrupt election
methods that have been or may be
used in any elections and the remedy, in
our opinion is this: Whether he be
Democrat or Republican, nominee or
not. the people should rebuke such
practices by refusing to vote for any
who either practices or coun-
te1ances them. Let the nominee who
buys the nomination, get defeated once,
md that will put an end to the buying.

The prettiest calendar on our walls
comes from THE Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Club" of Dallas, Texas, the
metropolis of Texas, and the
coming metropolis of the great
southwest. Dallas is growing by
leaps and bounds. Because Of
it's natural advantages? No. Because
these natural advantages are being
advertised to the world Dallas will
grow more this year than Columbia
has in the last hundred years, and yet
Columbia has as many natural advan-
tages as Dallas has. The difference is
that Dallas advertises itself to the
world, and Columbia does not. Dallas
business men think the best money
they can spend is in advertising
Dallas. They are never so busy they
cannot stop to talk Dallas. If Column
bia would only take on a little of the
spirit of Dallas what town we
would have in the near future.

Crisfeld, Md, July 26.--William Lee,
the colored youth who was sentenced
to death in Baltimore three weeks ago
for assaulting two women in Som
erset county, who had been threatened
with lynching, was hanged by Sheriff
Brown On Smiths Island in the pres.
ence Of his deputies and a few wit
nesses. The hanging was orderly. The
mob that had threatened to burn Lee
at the stake was completely outwitted
by the sheriff.
Lees crime created unprecedented
excitement throughout the eastern
counties of Maryland, and for weeks
the popular fury was such that Cover
nor Warfeld deemed it prudent to
have him confined in the Baltimore
city jail as protection from mob vio-
lence. AS further precaution, though
it was necessary to carry out the SEN
tence of the law in Somerset county,
the scene of the crime, the exact place
of execution was kept secret except
to those who were to accompany the
sheriff, the culprit and witness. To
carry out this purpose, Sheriff Brown
appeared in Baltimore, placed his
prisoner aboard steamer of the
Maryland oyster navy and immediate
ly sailed down the bay. He took with
him a gallows, which had been bor-
rowed from Baltimore county and also
coffin and was prepared to hang Lee
on the deck of the vessel, after reach
ing the waters Of Somerset county,
should there be any signs of mob on
shore.
When the steamer appeared of
Smiths Island, the prisoner was speed
lily taken ashore, and the scaffold
quickly erected by carpenter, who
had been brought from Baltimore for
that purpose. The culprit, accompa-
MED by his spiritual adviser, was led
up the scaffeld, the moose was adjusted
and the execution was quickly over.
