Washington, Jan. 21.-The pur-

coaling station, of the $50 acres of
land on which the jamestown Ex-
position stood, is provided for in a
bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Maynard, Of Virginia, in
whose district the fair was held,
It is provided in the bill that
$2,5OO,0OO, or $7,143 an acre, shall
be paid for the property. The Sec
rotary OF the Navy is directed to
purchase the property at private sale
at reasonable price. If the price
should not be reasonable he is di-
rected to condemn it and buy it IN
der the appropriation of 50, 100000 {.
AS the exposition is still in debt to
the government to the extent of
nearly million dollars, it is not
considered likely that Congress will
take kindly to any plan to pay more

sion of Mrs. G. 8. Hanks, of this
city, one being written on Septem-
Der 18th, 1888, and was one hundred
and twenty years old last Septem-
Der, while the other was written in
1910. The first letter was written
Pennsylvania and sent by hand to
Long Cain, South Carolina, then
Abbeville district. It was from
John and Esther Thompson to Col.
James Stevenson, brother of Mrs.
Thompson. The second letter was
one of love written by Col. Steven
sons son, J. M. Stevenson, to Miss
Rebecca Miller, whom he afterward
married. It is very much like the
modern letter of its kind and would
prove interesting to the young peo-
pie of today.

Wiley Fort, who lives on Mr.. w.
8. Spencer's place, also in Walltown,
is the name Of the man who was the
victim of this strange encounter. He
was strolling through the fields
hunting when he suddenly espied a
dog approaching him along a path.
Bloody foam was dripping from the
animals mouth and its eyes were as
green as grass. Wiley, terrified, be-
gan housekeeping at the same time
trying to cock his gun. So extreme
was his terror, however, that he
could not muster up strength enough
to raise the hammer, and just as the
dog came upon him, he stumbled
and fell.
No pen can describe the unutter-
able horror which seized upon poor
Wiley as he fell and even now he
does not know how he got away
from the place, but he does know
tnat he left his gun behind him.
The dog, as Wiley scrambled off,
seized the stock of the surrendered
firearm in his teeth and gnawed
upon it until he was shot dead with
a pistol by another cOlored man, who
slipped up On the animal after it had
succumbed from the effects of the
poison in its system.
