A Visit in Colombo

wall Its location, however, IS pleasant and healthy
and doubtless that explains the fact that during
the hot weather the Governor and suite leave
Colombo and come here thus giving the distinction
OF being practically the capital for part of the
year. 1t has been much improved since the railway
constructed.
We were invited to KEMP, and accepted, to

Drained With a Stick of Wood

Dock Ward, a negro laborer
from Huntsville, Ala, was in
stantly killed Saturday night by
Harry johnson also a negro, at
the camps of contractor Stone
king about three miles from
here on the Coalmont extension,
where Mr.. Stoneking has a con-
tract for grading a branch tract
to q new coal opening. Both ne
gros were drunk and from evil
dence of eye witnesses it seems
that Ward was out after trouble,
inviting Johnson out of the
camps for a fight to finish,
whereupon johnson procured a
piece of wood, striking Ward on
the head several times, which
resulted in instant death. john
son, with several witnesses, were
taken to jail at Altamont for
safe keeping until court.

Fish That Walks Ashore.

Several examples of a zoologi-

added to the collection at Re-

walking fish, which spends the
greater part of its existence up
on the mud banks of tropical
rivers.
Its method of progression has
been described as of the "hop,
skip and jump" variety and
when journeying inland, as it
does over long distances, it
climbs by means Of the breast

Tennessee's Congressman.

Tennessee elected ten Con-
gress man Tuesday and while the
returns received up to our going
to press shows that from some of
the closely contested districts
were far from complete, the in
dications are that there will be
no change in the political com.
plexion of the delegation from
this State to the Sixtieth Con-
gress.
The contests for Congressional
honors have been particularly
warm and interesting in the
First, Third, Fourth and Eighth
districts.
In the First District, because
of the three-cornered fight which
has been waging so fiercely there,
with Congressman Walter p.
Brownlow opposed by another
Republican in the person of ALI
Taylor, and also by John Cald-
well, Democrat, there has been
perhaps the most interest shown.
1t was fight of the field against
Brownlow, aud the easy Boss"
seems to have won, but by con-
siderably reduced majority,
probably between 1000 and s.
600. With the bitter fight that
has been made against him in
his own party and Democrat
in the field to boot, he seems to
have achieved a remarkable VIC
tory. Greene County, whichwent
more than 100 Democratic two
years ago, and several hundred
Democratic tour years ago, and
which is generally considered
safely Democratic, gave Brow
low a majority of several hun
bred, according to news late
Tuesday night. Sewer County
gave him a nlsjority of 700.

gresham N. w. Hale, Republi-
can, was reelected by the usual

Demonstration of Gun Causes
Loss of Arm.

was accidently shot by his cous-
in, Mart Gibbs, at his fathers
home near town Friday morning.
An entire load of shot from a
shotgun entered the boys left
arm near the shoulder necessi-
tating the amputation of his
arm at the shoulder.
Mart Gibbs had recently pur-
chased a gun and was demon
strating the action of britching
the same to his cousin, when it
was accidently discharged.

ed boy, amputating the arm, and
reports him doing nicely.

man, vice president; E. w.

meeting night hereafter will be
Thursday, and, until further no.
tice, the X. 7. Hall. The presi-
dent was instructed to apply to
the State Board of Trade for ad-
mission into that body, and much
interest was manifested. The
improvements contemplated by
this board are such as every citi-
zen will endorse and encourage
and it won't be long before its
influence will be manifested.

Pretty Well Loaded.

While Sheriff Cline and Hen
ley were enroute to Altamont,
Sunday, with six prisoners, they
arrested Jess Woodlee, young
man about 20 years old, for pro-
miscously firing a pistol on the
public road. Just after the
party had passed Woodlee on
the road he was attracted by the
shooting. Going back he found
the boy attempting to reload a
Al caliber pistol. When search
ed he also fonnd a pair OF
knucks. Woodlee. who was un-
der the influence of whiskey was
added to the party and lodg-
ed in Jail under the charge of
public drunkenness and carrying
deadly concealed weapons. He
made bond Monday for his ap-
pearance at the next term of
the court.
