of d general stock law, that IS, keep up all kinds of stock all the time. both in the country and in the towns. And he made some good arguments, too. He thinks 1t is right for every person to look after his stock by fencing 1t in instead of fencing to keep other stock out. Such a law would save thousands and thousands of dollars that are now spent on fencing, and people would take more interest 1n their stock and raise the standard. This is some thlng for. the members of the legislature to think about.
 For some time past The News has been besieged with inquiries from the public as to the status of the electric light question, when is work to begin, and so on and so forth, and III order that no one may get the idea that we have some information up our sleeve that we have not divulged, will say that We do not know a thing on earth about the matter. We understand that some of the city officials wrote Mr. Owen, to whom the franchise was granted, some time ago, but so far nothing has been heard from hln. The last letter received from him was to the effect that everything was progressing sat isfaetorily and that he expected to have a force here at work by March l5. Why he did lot do this We are unable to say, but his reasons are no doubt good. The franchise was granted to MT. Owen October 0, one of the con- ditions being that work was to begin within six months and that the plant was to be complete and in operation within nine months. The six months are up today. The News hopes that Mr. Owen will be able to fill his contract, but shonld he not do So We under stand that other parties are ready to take up the matter and that We will get the electro lights.

Neal Vance Making Good.

Neal Vance of this place, who is with the Temple Texas ball team, is evidently making good judging from the following. talk en from | paper at that place, making mention of some of the Temple players:
 Of the above mentioned men Vance played last year with the Texarkana team of the North Texas League and won for him. self lasting soubriquet of the Smiling Kid" owing to his persuasive dignity and graceful poise in the box. His delivery Is inviting and yet puzzling.
 Vance was asked concerning the report last season that he was making more than ordinary headway with the spit ball, . and the reply, while not direct, would indicate that the young twirler has some knowledge of that evasiye trick winch Is likely to be seen before the season of 1900 is very old.
 Vance IS considered the best pitcher of his age in the South.

'Rots and Comment

The News this week prints and circulates 1900 copies, and the business man who has an ad. in the paper talks to a whole lot of people.
 Jessie Guilliams, who was defeated for the legislature in Washington County last week, does not appear to be worrying over the result and has opened a fire insurance office at Fayette- vile. There Is nothing like be- ing able to meet defeat philosopt- ically.
 The state candidate who carried his home county by | good strong vote need not grieve. The same may be said of the county candi- date who carries his own precinct. It shows that the people who know him best believe in him. and that is worth more than election to any office.

 The deplorable condition of the roads this spring has caused con- siderable good roads" talk, and the suggestion has been made that the citizens and business men of Spriugdale raise fund and employ a competent superin- tendent to construct good road leading east from town towards Huntsville. It IS thought that the property owners along the road will also donate something for the work. Spring Valley and Huntsville would no doubt join us, and 1t Is understood that Huntsville people are ready and anxious to contribute literally to the movement. It would seem all that is needed IS to get the matter started. What will Spring dale do?

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 22-Four
men, who We're caught by last nights

breakwater at the entrance to Holland
harbor on Lake Michigan, were washed
away by waves and drowned.
The dead are:

The four men, with Ed Bennett, went
out to the crib work in launch and
scow in the afternoon shortly before
the storm broke.
When the wind struck the crib, the
scow, with Bennett aboard, was torn
loose. 1t drifted up the lake and was
finally cast ashore north of Ottawa
beach and Bennett was safe although
in an exhausted condition.
The four men left on the crib could
not gain the shore because of the i'm

were so high no boat could live
Attempts were made to shoot a line
to them, but the hurricane hurled the
line back. A tug was requested from

SEVERAL FATALITIES.

Cherbourg. France Nov. 22.-Details
of the collision yesterday between the
North German Lloyd steamer, Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse and the British
royal mail steamer, Oriencco, show
that 1t occurred at 9 o'clock last night.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and
Oriencco were both outward bound
from Southampton, via Cherbourg for
New York and West Indian ports re-
spectively.
The shock is described as having
been terrific, causing panics among the
passengers on board the two vessels,
especially among the emigrants.
On the Oriencco three men and a
woman were killed, six women and a
man were injured and five persons
were knocked overheard and drowned.
Of the two steamers the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse is said to have sus-
tanned the most damage
Four of the crew of the Kaiser Will
helm are reported to have been killed
and twelve injured
When the collision occurred Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse was standing at a
rate of seventeen knots an hour from
Cherbourg, after having touched here
on her voyage out.
The Oriencco was bound for this
port when the accident happened
The commander of the Oriencco
claims that he signalled that he was
going to starboard of the North Ger
man-Lloyd vessel, but the latter held
her course across the Orienccos bows,
and only went to the port of the ORR
encco when 1t was too late. The en-
gines of the Oriencco, it is added, were
reversed so soon as 1T appeared likely
that an accident would occur, but she
crashed into the starboard bow of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, making a
breach twelve feet wide.
The stem Of the Oriencco above
the water line was carried away
as the vessel cleared after the col
lision. The shock threw all passen-.
gers on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse off their feet and the grinding
OF. the Oriencco's bow into the steer
age of the German vessel instantly
killed four persons, disembowelling a
girl IL years old.
