CORONER KEPT BUSY
WITH negro KILLINGS.

negro, Unidentified as Caesar Wilburn,
had been found in the woods.
Before this case could be finished
they were called to Bowen, station
about fourteen miles out on the M. ].
& X. c., to hold an inquest over the
body of Charlie Jones, who had been
shot in the negro quarters at Bowen,
which is in Perry County, but the ne
gro had been carried to a lumber camp
in Forrest county where he died,
which made an inquest necessary by
the officers fthis county, although
the killing will be Perry county case.
1t was found that the negro died from
pistol wound inflicted by another
negro, Ed. Coleman, during "skin
game"
This morning Sheriff Magruder and
Coroner Farley returned to Bonhomie
to continue the investigation of the
death of Caesar Wilburn. There ap-
peared to be no evidence of foul play
and the jury returned a verdict that
the negro came to his death from
cause unknown.

On. can never take too much care
of handsome Oriental rugs, especially
as we demand so much more service
of them in this country than do the
inhabitants of their own land. Here
the chief foes are the boots and shoe
nails, to say nothing of the heavy
furniture that is moved about in our
homes.
An Oriental rug often gives one the
same satisfaction that beautiful pic
ture does on the wall, and it is deplor-
able that we cannot preserve the rug
as carefully. There is no inanimate
thing that enjoys and appreciates a
vacation more than choice rugs. Two
months is none too long, and one can
surely dispense with their service for
that time, knowing we are the gamers
thereby. When the time comes, go
to a reputable rug house and give
them the care of your rugs. They
alone know when they should be
washed, and even when they should
be mended. There are certain rugs
that need to be washed every two
years, and others that do not need il
as often. Then, too, an Oriental rug
house has means of cleaning, ironing
and caring for rugs that we knew
nothing of. They will return them in
such condition that one will feel well
repaid.
To Clean Fur Rugs.-One quart Of

"One by one they are slipping away,
Going to rest,
They who so CALAMITY fought in the

They who were noble, daring and gay,
Peace to each breast.
Some of them linger, nearing the end,
Soon they will go
Out through the gloam when autumn
leaves blend,
Yonder where willow and cypress both

Silent and low,
Soon they will leave us, they who

Honest and true,
Soon each shall rest in a proud

Forgetting the ensign that Ger them
shall wave.

dence of such intention, there was no
reason to hunt up excuses for reject
ing ballots.
The folding of the ballots is a mat
ter regulated by law. Each ballot
must be handed to the voter folded
twice, and Just how to fold them was
shown. The voter must hand it back
folded in the same way. In the case
of the city and county ballot, which
is twenty-eight inches long, folding the
ballot twice will still leave it seven
inches long, too big to put into the
ballot box After it is returned to the
chairman of the board of inspectors,
he can fold it enough more times to
enable it to be put into the box.
The question was raised whether
three hundred or more of the city and
county ballots could be crowded into
one ballot box. County Clerk Kalauo-
kalani, who was present, stated that
in all precincts where there were three
hundred or more registered voters, he
had provided two ballot boxes. In
that case, Secretary Mott-Smith said,
both boxes must be displayed empty at
the opening of the polls and locked at
that time.
A great many questions were asked
and answered. A. Lewis, Jr, made a
number of very pertinent suggestions
and was called on by Mr.. Mott-Smith
frequently as to points of law, as was
also Deputy Attorney General Whitney.

Achi and Wise.

In the Fifth the reports are that in
those sections where Aehi is strongest
Wise is also strong, while in the pre-
cincts where Lane is the leader his
running mate in popular favor is Jar
rett, a strange reversal of affairs but
not more strange than some of the
other combinations in both Fourth and
Fifth
Quinn and Hughes, on the Senatorial
ticket are gaining in favor and it seems
pretty certain now that they will get
in easily, with Quinn probably leading
the polls. Henriques' seat is not so
certain and the Democrats are making
a big effort to put Harvey in it. The
Democrats, on their part, claim that
it is a question now whether all the
Democratic Senators will be elected or
only two of them.

Longs Bright Prospects.

Longs Bright Prospects.
Each day now sees the prospect for a
big majority for Carlos A. Long grow
ing brighter. Reports from the Koolau
is going to more than equal the COM
bined vote for Cathcart and Edings,
while the Fifth will give another lead.
In the Kakaako precincts in the Fourth
he is going to run high and it is ex-
pected that he will poll a bigger white
vote than was given w. w. Thayer, the
vote that went against Cathcart last
time and beat him in his own and three
other precincts.
Confirming reports have come in con-
corning the figures of sixteen hundred
voters in the Fourth who have stated
that Long is their choice for County
Attorney.
The Democrats are expecting their
candidate Edings to poll the full party
vote, by which they mean the vote
gwen mayer, Whlch IS considerably
over their straight party vote. If this
proves true it will land Edings at the
head. Edings has certainly gained
strength, so much so that a vote for
Cathcart at this stage of the fight
means a vote for the Democratic candi-
date. With this in view, wavering Re
publieans who are hesitating now be-
tween Catheart and Long will size up
The facts and mark their ballot for the
Independent Republican rather than
