ton OF two Endorsements. it is prop

An effort OF a s~tenuous sort is be-

the Democrats that they should all
vote for the nominees on that ticket,
but, II there were guarantee that
they we're all going to do that, there
would be no cause for such an APP

is made is disclosure Of another fact
learned with much pain by the News
that there are Democrats who are
not going to vote that ticket, and all
the urging the News may make and
all the party lashes the cliquesters
may lay on will not change the situa-
ton.

such situation. it is not at all
strange that the Democratic organ
should enlist itself in movement to
make some kind OF a showing.

A change in city government would
bea risk most dangerous to take. The
Democratic end OF the campaign has
never yet done as an organization
any thing for the benefit Of the city,
and there Is no good ground to be-
Iieve that 1t would do so this time.
1t is better to let well enough alone,
when 1t comes to administering the
affairs Of the city. The Republicans
all these years have shown themselves
competent. They have proved 1t and
the people are satisfied with the
progress made and being made.

What Is posing as the Democratic
organization in this city this year is
but the same that all these years has
fought the progress and advancement
of the city. While there may be an
addition or two to that organization.
yet the prime movers are the same as
they were years ago. and the latter
are the leading spirits IN it. For
years and years that organization has
been turned down by the people at
the polls and there is not the. slight
est reason now to believe that history
VIII not repeat itself.

Merely for political effect one news
paper undertakes to convince its
readers that some Of the curbing Of
the new pavement put in this year
will have to be paid for twice by the
city. Col. Joe Fuccy the contractor
Of the work some time ago allayed
ali fears in that respect by openly
stating that he would replace the
CURLING. when the weather opened so
that 1t could be done and at his own
expense. Besides, the man Of rea-
son knows that the contract calls for
substantial curbing. and. until it is
made so. no one gets any pay for it.
Thus is exploded that, bit Of impro-
yised political argument.

The city Democratic committee IS
reported as meeting every few nights,
estimating just how many are really
going to vote the Democratic ticket
and after multiplying that by from
two and half to three; coming to
the conclusion that the Democratic
ticket is going to be elected. The
committee is so accustomed to doing
that sort Of thing that It at times
really believes it is actually true and
accurate in its calculations. Figures
on paper. however, seldom pan out
that way at the polls.

Connecticut, was responsible for q

Miss Kendall appeared as Mrs. Alfred

she had reached her fiance's arms only

A special from Vinegar Bend, Ala,
tells of a disastrous wreck on the
Alabama & Mississippi railroad Fri
day, caused by head on collision
between a passenger train and a
logging train. Five persons were
killed outright and two were serious
ly injured. The dead are: w. B.
Paine, merchant, Vinegar Bend;
Charles C. Busbee, a section fore
man; three negroes, names unknown.
The list of injured is as follows:
Frank Marks, engineer Of the pas
senger train, will die; Henry Hall,
fireman Of the passenger train, SER
iously injured; several negroes slight
ly injured.
Twelve miles west Of Vinegar
Bend, the road turns sharply and
the greater portion of this curve is
made up Of trestling that spans a
rayine and small brook at the bot
tom. Running at fair speed. the tres
senger train took the curve and tres
the trestle gave way and both en-
came on the opposite end. Before
Engineer Marks could bring his
train to a stop the trains met head
on in the certre Of the trestle.
simultaneously with the collision,
the trestle gave way and both en-
gines and trains fell to the bottom.
On the logging train were a number
of convicts.

SHE SLID DOWN THIRTY FOOT FIANCEs ARMS

Kendall and a gin chum who was in

placed knots in the rope at regular In
tervals. Miss Kendall is an athletic
girl and led her gymnasium class, SO
she had no doubt of her ability to
make the thirty foot journey through
the air from her. window to the ground
below.
Kent was waiting at the bottom of
the rope, and just outside the school
grounds he had carriage in hiding.
At 5 o'clock in the morning they called
upon n minister and were married,
leaving Ii ter for New Haven and New
York. Both young people have nu-
merous friends in New York city, and
they kept the telephone wires hot
spreading the news Of their romantic
elopement.
Miss Kendalrs father is wealthy, as
is the father Of the young man. Mr..
Kents father is prominent in the pol
tiles of his state, and the two fathers
are said to have Quarreled over civil
war issues. Mr.. and Mrs. Kent left
New York for q tour Of the south.
They notified their parents oe their
marriage, but did not know at the time
they left New York whether they were
forgiven or MOI.

right" said ldrs. Kent. ut is foolish

communicated with the girls parents,
asking If it was with their consent that
Alfred Kent SO frequently met their

The first answer to the inquiry came
by telegraph, followed by a long letter
Of instructions. These replies shut OF

although they were still able to keep
up a more or less infrequent CORE
spondence through friends.
Kent begged for an immediate mar
riage, and while Miss Kendall was
willing she could not find means to
escape from the school, and she found
that her letters were being inspect
ed. In her despair she sent through
friend a letter to Miss Kelcey In

Kelcey had at one time attended the
school and had on her own account
made famous escape from her room.
