WHAT THE lightning ROD THINKS
ABOUT THE lightning.

Hi
The Interloper' tells the follow
ling story in the August American
Magazine:
The inside story Of the Phisa-
fdelphia convention Of 1900 is tale
of the highest comedy. The other
day Senator Plat, that aged politi-
cal tiger whose teeth and claws the
president has drawn. very truth
fully remarked that his soul was
sore within him at the recollection
that he made Roosevelt president.
No one paid much attention to the
lament. Who cares what the light
ming rod thinks about the lightning?
But it was true. Col. Roosevelt
was elected governor of New York.
He proceeded promptly to make a
nuisance of himself to this extent,
that when the convention of 1900
gathered in Philadelphia Plat APP
pealed to Senator Hanna to accom-
plish his political destruction by
making him vice-president. Hanna
demurred. He didn't like Roosevelt.
Platt pointed out that Roosevelt's
continued existence would be ter
rible in its consequences to the New
York political machine and indirect
~ to the national organization.
There was only one way to end it.
The highest form of political poison
IN this country is the vice presidency.
Every man thinks he might survive
it, but among PSYCHOLOGISTS in state
manship it has ever been considered
certain death. With many protests
Hanna consented to administer the
lethaI dose.
1t was necessary to win over Nc
kinney. Mckinley objected strong
ly. He didn't like Roosevelt either.
They were at the telephone for the
better part of the day. Finally in
sistence from Philadelphia wore out
resistance at Washington. Mean
while Platt had carefully prepared
the victim by sending delegation to
him to voice great public demand
that he accept the nomination.
| am much obliged to you, Sena-
tor said Platt at the end Of the
days work. That's all right, said
Hanna, but now that we've taken
that fellow off your back what are
you going to do for u.s." A little
more than year after this occur
renee there stalked out of God knows
where out of the mysterious Jungle
that has grown up just beyond the
garden wall where civilization has
thrown its weeds and its sins to
nourish them Withal the monster
who slew the gentle Mckinley
Roosevelt became president of the
United States and the scourge of
the very men who had undertaken
his overthrow.

day work of visiting the sick that
he left the strongest impress Of his
personality. He was a born physi-
clan. Born in Ireland and coming
to New York when a mere child, he
knew what hard work and poverty
meant in childhood, and absorbed a
large share Of his education after
coming to manhood's estate. His
family lived near Columbus, Wis,
at the breaking out of the civil war,
and it was at that place that he en-
listed in the 23d Wisconsin, being
made sergeant major of the regi-
ment soon after. He saw plenty of
hard service in that famous regi-
ment, and it was in connection with
his services for the sick and wound
ed that he probably came to take up
the medical profession, as he en-
tered Rush Medical college very soon
after his discharge from the serv-
ice.
Perhaps DR.. Films dominant
characteristic was modesty, and his
considerateness for the feelings as
well as the bodily pains and ills Of
poor humanity made his presence in
the sick room a boon, and his COM
radeship privilege to sthe limited
circle to whom he was on terms of
fellowship. The writer cannot claim
to have been in that charmed circle,
and only came to know the real
worth of the doctor through the
good report of his friends and coca
sional sick room experiences. The
doctor was a tireleSs student of
books and of men. More than once
we remember seeing him start out
on his professional calls, with a late
magazine in hand, picking up such
reading as he might while his diver
attended to the team. This was in
his later career, for the doctor
dispensed with the luxury of lriv-
er during his early practice in this
county. He was.an ornnivorous read
err, but he nevertheless found time
to hunt up and draw out the inter-
esting and virile characters that
usually go towards the making Of a
frontier community. He liked to
hear men talk who had something
to say worth listening to.
It is vain to try and recall the.
charm Of the doctors presence,
which one more often associates
with wonahkind than with men,
! though Pr Finn was not at all
what is cailedsa lady man, SO far
as our collection serves.
His taking OFF November I'D. 1897,
after only month Of illness, was d
loss that was severely felt IN many
homes, as well as iii a public way,
for the doctors inherent refinement

urging the United States government
to give financial support to the Au-
dobon Society in the protection OF
these birds. The report of the COM
mittee on transportation was also pre-
sented. The report recommended the
adoption of the standard type of con-
tract either by the United States gov
ernment or by the association of dele
gates from cotton exchanges, cotton
growers and cotton spinners, and that
the classification be made upon grade.
This should embody 500 pounds in
stead of 100 bales net weight. That
actual tare be allowed and the matter
of damp cotton be regulated by uni
form rules of the governing commit
tee. Both reports were discussed fully
by the delegates. Congressman Hef-
Inns resolution, directed against cot
ton speculation, will be continued this
afternoon in committee. No matter
what the report is, Congressman Hef-
lin states that he will make report
to the main body of the conference
and carry his fight on there.

= ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. S.-Reports of
the sectional committees and discus
sion and recommendation made up the
form of program of this mornings ses-
sion of the International Conference of
Cotton Growers and Manufacturers.
The conference was called to order at
10 o'clock by President Macoll and the
export of committee on growing and
handling cotton OF which J. L. Maxwell
of Louisiana, was chairman. laid be-
fore the conference recommendation
as follows;
First, that all the planters select
and save seed for the next crop, the
object being to insure higher stand
ard.
Second, that all cotton after being
picked be housed from 40 to go days
before being sent to the gin.
The European spinners have long
complained of the dampness of the cot
ton received by them, a condition
which they have proven is not acquir-
ed in the hold of the ships.

Third, that as fast as possible the
planters either as individuals or in
communities adopt gin compressing.
This is earnestly urged notwithstand-
ing the enormous expense it will en-
tail as it obviates in great part the
exactions of the so-called compress
trust and will permit the direct hand
ling of the product from the Southern
fields and from plant to spinners.
Fourth, that the Egyptian form of
bale be adopted as fast as possible.
This bale is one more tie and one
more burlap is used instead of jute
in binding. The saving by it is as
serted to be enormous.
The members of this sectional COM
mittee are much interested in talk
made by Secretary Parsons of the
National Audubon Society, who stated
through and for the department of
agriculture that IL had been discover
ed that twenty-four species of car
niverous birds feed on the worst of
cootn pests and boil weevil.

VERSION
OF SUMRALL CASE

A special from Jackson to the Mo-
bile Register says:
The recent race troubles at Sum-
rail-, Miss, have been called to the at.
tention of the Italian ambassador at
Washington, and of course, every pos
sible effort will be made to magnify
the trouble and get something out of
it for the Dagoes. So far as known
only one Italian was abused, Frank
Sciagaleoni by name. He had been
officious in insisting that certain
Italian children should continue at
the public school after the white folks
of the vicinity had declared they
should not. He appealed to the state
superintendent of education, who re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gen
eral, and that official sent word that
there was no authority for keeping
any white child out of the white
schools. 1t was then that the Italian
made the children return to the school.
That night he was taken to the woods
and whipped good and hard. The
patrons of the school explain that the
Italians employed in the saw mills
there are lower than the negroes
that they tried to associate with the
negroes and were snubbed. The chill
dren were not looked upon as fit to
sit in school with the white children,
hence the outbreak. The Italian gov
ernment is now supposed to been
gagged in an investigation, and doubt
less Uncle Sam will have to make
some apologies and pay sum suf-
ficient to make princes of the Dagoes
in their own country, but one thing
seems very certain-they will never
get back into the Sumrall school.
Mississippi has set the seal of her
disapproval on the Dago, and he
might just as well go if he expects to
be treated as social equal. in this
section. The endorsement of Italian
immigration was, it is said, what de-
feated Hon. Chas. Scott for governor
of Mississippi, and since it became
known that the Italian government
will not recommend this state to its
people as good place to make their
homes. the feeling against the Dago
has intensified. There is no objection
to the decent Italian, nor to the for
eigner from any other shore, but the
line is drawn on the Dago.

Will CURREN
IS Identified

Will Curran, the negro who was
brought from Nicholson Sunday night
by Constable Dossett who arrested
him on the charge of numbering an

was identified as the proper man yes
terday.
The Identification was made by
J. L. Hapgood, who was foreman Of
the gang at the time of the killing
and who knew both of the negroes
well and so there is very sure to be
no mistake in the party.

and then Constable Dossett will come
into the statutory reward of $10O.
