Gard From Rev. J. L. Oates.

Editor Enquirer: Please allow me
space for an acknowledgment Of the
Kindness Of Hickory Grove and Smyr-
ma congregations. From time to time
they have shown love and sympathy
in many ways, and these reached
climax a few days ago when represen-
tatives from almost every family In
the two congregations came and spent
the day at the parsonage, brought
their dinners with them, left consider
able groceries In the pantry and pre-
sented us with a purse Of about $50.
Though the way be way OF labor,
there remain places Of rest; and
though there still be deserts, there re-
main green pastures and still waters.
Unto the Giver of every good let there
be thanksgiving, and unto those who
have done this in His name let the re-
come that those who do
this unto the least, have done this un-
to Him. ]. l.. OATES.

Following the change OF schedule
of the mixed train on the Carolina
and North Western railroad, the post
Office department has ordered the dis
continuance of the locked pouch SER

The principal value Of this locked

TILLMAN AND THE CAUcUs.-t Will
be remembered when Hon. John L.
McLaurin declined to go into caucus
under the leadership Of ]. X. Jones,
he was stigmatized by Senator Till
man as a traitor to the Democracy,
The matter then pending was Of little
importance to the south, but Ii did
involve the question whether the ma
tion's integrity should be sustained.
Now there is question In the United
States senate which Is Of importance
to the south as 1t affects our racial
conditions which the south Is vitality
interested In, and according to the
press reports, we find Senator Tillman
refusing to go into a Democratic cau-
Gus because of his antipathy to the
president who has exercised his right
as commander in chief of the armies,
to discharge from the service negro
soldiers who murdered white citizens
In Texas. II McLaurin's refusal to go
into a Democratic caucus on matter
that the Democratic party was divided
upon, was wrong, and for which he
should have been repudiated by his
party, how does Tillman stand? Is
he not to be held to account for his
conduct? We think his attitude to-
wards his party Is not only wrong and
deserving OF Reputation by the DEM
ocratic party, but 1t is more. 1t Is
proof conclusive that to crafty his
personal spleen, and to promote his
personal aggrandizement, he would
cast aside all consideration OF the
people he represents, and join with
any force to keep himself advertised
as a lecturer. Tillman refused to go
into the Democratic caucus, and We
shall wait to see what his admirers
will advance to justify his course,

THE THAw TRIAL.-The long de-
Ali IL l., IL, Ia

The THAw TRIAL.-The long de-
layed trial of Harry X. Thaw for the
murder Of Stanford White was COM
menced in New York last Wednesday.
There was a pretty large crowd Of
people present at the opening Of the
trial, many of them spectators brought
along by curiosity. Two hundred
talesmen had been summoned. or
these nineteen were examined during
the first day, but only two jurors
were secured. Many of the talesmen
had already formed opinion In the
case as the result Of the newspaper
stories: but some Of them were in
doubt because of conflicting state
ments and were unable to swear that
their opinions were Of such a nature
that they could not be changed by the
evidence. The understanding is that
Thaw is going TO plead the unwritten
law-that Stanford White ruined his
wife and although the defendant was
insane at the time of the killing he Is
sane now. Thaw's wife, mother and
sisters appeared in the court room
yesterday and the understanding Is
that they are to remain with him
through the trial which will probably
last quite a while.

WOULD Nor VOTE For THAMAN,-
When the hour of noon arrived on
last Tuesday the house went into the
ballot for United States senator Mr
Dixon placed in nomination b. II.
Tillman and nominations were closed.
rhe vote was: Tillman ia.
Mr.. Mann who is Methodist min
lister, asked that his reasons for not
voting be spread in the journal and
this right was granted, but later on.
by motion of Mr.. Richards, the rea-
sons were expunged from the record,
Mr.. Mann's reasons were as follows;
II wish to state my reasons for not
voting for the Hon. Benjamin r.. Till
man to succeed himself I'm the United
States senate: He made wanton
and malicious attack upon the minis
try OF South Carolina, charging them
with being In league with the ex-bar-
keepers Of the state, with Col. James
A. Hoyt as their standard bearer, to
defeat and destroy the dispensary
law In South Carolina. This he knew
to be false and an outrage on COM
mon decency.
Second: Before / could vote for
him should have to know how much
money he returned to Mr.. Hubbell as
rebates allowed the state OF South
Carolina. / contend that as governor
he was handling the money OF the
state and he had no right to return
the money to the liquor house any
more than the present board of d.
rectors has the right to appropriate
to their own use or to such other pur-
poses as they might see lit, rebates
belonging TO the state.

ONE OF HE REAL YANKEES.

The Japanese are smart enough to be called the Yankees of the East but they haven't yet got ahead of the real Yankees in smartness. We read the other day how some of the Maine Yankees are making money out of sl5Inks. and now we read how one of them has undertaken promising spec ulation in grasshoppers. He collect ed last summer seventy-five thousand erasshoppers, with the idea of selling them to sportsmen as bait for trout next season when the finny tribe are plentiful and the 'hoppers scarce As fast as the insects were captured they were placed in a corn crib, which had been made tight by pasting paper over the cracks. The crib was then filled with hay and banked with leaves to keen it warm within. Fhus far this winter the grasshoppers have stood the cold, and Mir.

ExoEL1Ex1 NOMINATIONS.

New Haven is especially interested in and approving of two of the nonlina- tions made by the Governor yesterday One of them is that of James H. Mac donald, the man who, by his fiery en- thusiasm and unAagging zeal as High way Commissioner, has given the good roads movement in Connecticut proper impetus and progress. He is renom- mated, which is a good thing for the State he has served so well, and for the cause of good roads all over the country.
 The other nomination is that of The odore H. Macdonald to be Insurance Commissioner. He will make a good one. He has had much experience in public business, knows how it should be done, and has done his part of it exceptionally well. He can be relied on to handle the States insurance af- If fairs with discretion, honesty and hon. or. He is deservedly popular through out the State, and has a record for ability and efficiency that Is well worth having. He has filled one of New Ha- vens most important offices for sev- eral years. His promotion is well mer- tied, and will give the State as good a servant as New Haven has had in him

Dog. and Police Power and Practice.

Dogs and Police Power and Practice. To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 What in time will the policemen of our university town do next to save the people from getting the rabies? Is 1t within their province to enter houses and oblige occupants to exhibit dog h- cense, muzzle, etc, and engage ln d minute and curtailed conversation rel atiVe to said dog, his pedigree, age, habits and present state of health and temper? One of our braVest yesterday invaded house and subjected the per- son whom he found there to search ing direct and cross-eXamination rela- tive to an aged little pug dog, which is scarcely able to walk and which has been deprived of teeth for several years. After being told that the ani- maj was duly licensed and that all laws relating to him for the protection of the community and the honor and dignity of the state were compiled with, the knight of the locust further inquir- ed, What kind of people are the own- CTS of the dog?"
 It seems to my humble and perhaps ignorant mind that If the officers of the law would station themselves in another section of this city, at this time, and see that the young gentle men who give evidence of undue ex- hilaration and excitement by firing off pistols and torpedoes, and from their perches hurl confetti at quiet and or derly people who pass their quarters are muzzled and restrained in accord ance with the common law of decency and politeness, they would be doing work which Is really needed, and which no one could or would find fault with.

THE nHITE HORSE.

The Marquise de Fontenoy tells the New York Tribune that supersttious people are likely to take exception to the decision just promulgated by the War department at Washington to dis pense with the services of white and gray horses in the cavalry, on the ground that they offer too easy tar get for the craftsmanship of the foe and are calculated by their hue to in- terfere with the efforts of cavalry to escape the observation of the enemy. From the very earliest times the white horse has always been looked upon by the people as a harbinger of good luck. The poets of mythology sang of him, | typifying him in Pegasus. The story tellers of olden times introduced him into their romances, when they whls pered in the twilight of the great twin brethren flashing by on their white horses, as much alike and as wondrous as themselves, through the roar and tumut of battle. The pagan priests believed in the merit of the white horse when they sacrificed him as the best and noblest of creatures to the sun god on his festival days. A temple was reared by the Romans on the spot in the Forum where the mystic white horses of Castor and Pollux are said to Ihave slaked their thirst. Roman con- duerors were drawn through the streets of the Eternal City by horses of milk white hue. Nations have marched to victory under the banner of the white horse, which was the first heraldic em- blem of the great Anglo-SaXon race, lAlexander the Great rode white horse, Bucephalus, through all his campaigns So likewise did the great Napoleon, on his Marengo while Lord Roberts fa- nous charger, Yolonel which bore its master throughout the historic march Ifrom Cabul to Kandahar, and which was decorated with no fewer than three war medals by Queen Victoria herself

 no one but the sovereign is permitted
 to drive teams of white horses in tht
 streets of the capital. Tn fact, every
 where in Europe It is provided, eithe by etiquette or by statute, that whit,
 horses should only be used for drawing Z the equipage of the sovereign on stat
 occasions.
 Very true, but these are new times and superstition isn't as prevalent il the War department as it seems to b
