TALK AGAIN.

An interesting item or two appear

papers, give some encouraging indica-
tons of railroad prospects in the phOs-

that the l.. & N. r. r. Co. is figuring
on line from Columbia to Centreville,
and as a matter of fact surveyors are
in the field looking out a line to the
Leatherwood phosphate deposit Next,
some of the probable reasons for this
sudden activity is intimated in other
fairly reliable looking reports that the
Illinois Central will build from Nash
vile to Birmingham
Now it is a we'll known fact that

IN DESTITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES

The family of Lonnie Richardson,
whose daughter, Matte, was very
seriously burned last Wednesday af-
ternoon, is found to be in destitute
circumstances, and it is through the
Kings Daughters that much has been
furnished for meat and bread, and
Mr. S. j. Mankin, a neighbor, has
been furnishing coal and wood, and
yesterday a contribution amounting
to $13.55 was taken up and turned
over to the Kings Daughters for the
relief of Mr.. Richardson and family.
Mr.. Richardson himself has been
seriously i'll for several weeks and
this has cut off the support of the
family and caused much anxiety on
the part of the parents as well as
forcing destitute circumstances in
the home. Then, in an effort the 9TH
eT day to extinguish the flames Of the
burning clothing on his little girl his
hands were severely burned, which of
course will call for attention from the
liberal public for sometime yet until
his hands are so he can work A hint
to the wise is sufficient and while Mr.
Richardson and his large family may
be strangers to many of us we under
stand he is worthy.

HOW HE PRINTS THE NEWS. -

Mr.. Hearst's charge that the New York news
papers which are opposing his candidacy are print
ing unfair and biased reports is now brought
against his own papers. Not only has the news
of the campaign in this state been incorrectly
printed, but. it is found. the papers owned by
Mr. Hearst have also published incorrect accounts
of political happenings outside OF the state
on Saturday John B. Moran. District Attorney Of
Boston accepted the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts. The Tribune said on
that date:
Boston. Oct. 12.-John r. Moran tonight ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination for Governor.
after holding the question in abeyance for a week
and driving his managers to the verge of d1straC-
tiOn. In his formal letter OF acceptance Mr. Moran
declares that neither Hearstism nor Bryansm has
any place in this campaign. He declares that ne
has refused allow William r. Hearst 10 speak
for him o the voters of Massachusetts, and that
he will refuse allow Mr. Bryan 70 plead his
cause the stump here.
The account published in The New York Amer
can' on the same date botted out all reference to
Mr.. Moran's attack on Mr.. Hearst The story as
published follows:
Boston Oct 12-District Attorney John 3. Moran
late tonight formally announced his acceptance OF
the nomination for Governor rendered him by che
Democratic State Convention.
For several DAYS there had been considerable
doubt as 10 whether Mr.. Moran would remain in
the field. He has not accepted the resolution IN
dorsing William J. Bryan for the Presidency which
was adopted by tho Democratic State Convention
