BEWARE OF THE CATFISH FIN.


A press telegram from Selma, Ala,
speaking OF the illness of Capt. Barber,
well-known railroad conductor, say:
ITO serve forty years as railroad
conductor and escape more than one
disastrous..wrec with slight injury and
to die from the effects of the wound OF
poisonous fin OF a catfish appears to be
the fate of Capt. Robert T. Barber, who
is not expected to survive the night. He
is the oldest conductor on the
Southern railway, having started
as baggage master OF the Selma,
Rome, and Dalton railway over 10 years
ago. He was in charge of the the train
in the latter seventies that went through
the Waxahechie bridge, near Shelby
Springs, Judge William Byrd, of this
city and others being killed. He was
badly injured in wreck near Demopolis
in which Engineer Vining lost his life,
and had been in several other wrecks.
On July 9, while fishing from boat at
Biloxi, Miss, a catfish finned him on
the calf Of the leg. The wound was not
thought serious and no attention was
paid to it until fever set up and then a
physician was called, who pronounced
that blood poisoning had infected the
limb. Captain Barber was brought to
Selma Thursday. Tonight reports from
his bedside at local hospital are to the
effect that he is just alive and that he
cannot recover. He is perhaps the best
known railroad man of this section and
has large circle of friends"
Since the above was put in type The
Echo learns Capt. Barber died.

GANDERBONE'S FORECAST FOR
.~r Written and copyrighted Qso6) for
AOUO0I. The Sea Coast Echo by G. FL. Rieth.

It was August the third,
And quite soft we're the skies,
And it might be imagined
Bill Taft was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon Bryan
In q way politicians despise.
Which they met on the train.
AS all candidates will,
And they wagered dinner
In test Of their skill
The winner to make the best pun on
The homely cognomen OF Bill.
81 suppose" Bryan said,
Stirring ice in his tea,
"That in view of the times,
AS between you and me,
The smaller the bill is. the better,
The which any one will agree"
"very clever" said Taft,
"Here is mine: I've hunch.
You are not very strong;
(And he gave him punch)
For they don't like long overdue billi'
And the Peerless One paid for the lunch.
August was named for Augustus
Caesar, nephew and adopted son OF Ju-
lius. August was every bit as great a
man, but his uncle had better press
bureau. When the Black Band got
julius, his nephew was but ~; but he
had already worn the toga virillis and
shot bear. Mark Antony tried to gel
him out Of the way by making him
sort of vice. president, but after Angus
tus had beaten him up and 2 to play
on the green at Modena the big drawing
card of the Roman chautauqua was glad
to marry the young mans sister and be
kind of Nick Longworth around the
Roman White House.
The Augustus age was the glory OF
Rome. Like Mr.. Roosevelt, Augustus
showed fight all the time, and the en-
pire enjoyed peace. There were no ie-
formers, and times were good. The
emperor literally patronized literature,
and even wrote verses. Poets like Hor-
ace and Virgil had their own enameled
gold chariots with liveried alligator bait
on the job. behind, and instead of having
the cruel circus games of Nero. the
populace met in the collisium and wrote
limericks for prizes. 1t is said that
Augustus found Rome city of brick,
and left it q city Of marble. He was q
very proud man, and, in order to make
his month as long as anybody's, they
took day from February and added 1t
to August, which originally had but
thirty. Augustus deserves to be better
known, and il is not his fault that he is
not. He tried everything from divorce
to race suicide. He had three wives
and one child, daughter, Julia. He
beat Antony and Cleopatra to 0 in
the famous engagement at Actium,
enough in itself to have left his name
upon 10-cent cigar, but he stood about
the same chance against the luster Of
his immortal uncle as Miss Ethel Roose-
velt stands to share the limelight with
her sister Alice.
The dog days will return to paint
The pond like Erin's isle,
And the boys will navigate the scum
In good sea-going style;
Reform will dig few more pits
For brewers and distillers,
And the office seekers pass around
His bum alfalfa filters.

lnsolvent,

daily news special.
Jackson, Miss, June 12.-There are
only nine cases on the supreme court
docket to be submitted during the
present sitting, and only four of these
are for oral argument. In addition to
these, there are probably thirty cases
or less in the consulting room, several
of which will be decided on next Mon
day.
Several preference cases of more
or less Importance have been argued
during the past week, and the last of
these will be concluded Monday, when
Attorney General Fletcher will pre-
sent the states side of the H. s.
Rourke case, from Jackson County, in
which the argument for the appellant
was made yesterday by Hin. S. A. With
erspoon, of Meridian, following the ar
gument in the Derma depot case,
which was concluded by Judge Edward
Mayes for the Southern Railway, the
other arguments in the case having
been heard Tuesday.
Rourke is under a five years SEN
tence from.Jackson County for receiv-
ing deposits as cashier of the Scran-
ton Bank when he knew the institu-
tion to be insolvent.
Mr. Witherspoon announced that he
had an additional brief to submit in
the case, and was granted until next
Thursday to file it. after which the
case will be submitted.
The chief controversy in the case
seems to be hinging on the question
of whether the bank was actually in
solvent at the time, as the expert en-
ployed for that purpose testified it
was, or whether it was solvent as
seems to have been shown by the
books of the bank
