Several days ago Mr.. f. NJ. Wright
arrested a negro in Grenada, upon the
charge Of vagrancy, who gave his
name as Henry Harvey. He was tried
| before Mayor Tatum and sentenced to
the county farm. 1t is thought the
| negro is wanted somewhere o. a Seri-
Gus charge, and Mr.. Wright
has been making efforts to ascertain
if this be true. The negro is a dark
ginger-cake color, weighs 145 pounds,
and wears a number nine shoe. He is
five feet eight inches high. In the
upper part of the calf of his left leg
is a bullet about which he tells an in
consistent story. He states that he
was reared in Alabama, but that he
has been to San Francisco and indeed
many other parts of the United States.
When arrested he had on a hat which
he states he purchased i'm Cairo, H.,
but the hat has the stamp Of 1.-THE Ok
ford Mercantile Co. on it. The negro
does not give the0name of any white
man by whom he was eve employed.
He states that he is sometimes called
Charley"
The writer accepted the invitation
given him over the phone last Satur-
day evening by Mr.. j. w. Wood and
he and his children enjoyed the hos
petality of Mr.. and Mrs. Wood at
their elegant home near Oxberry, last
Sunday. Going out On the morning
train we soon reached Holcomb where
we found Mr.. Wood in his surrey
awaiting us. BY $50 O'Clock we
reached Mr.. Woods home and in a
short while partcok of a splendid
breakfast.
Good watermeiOns, cantelopeS,
muskmellons, peaches and apples in
abundance were on hand and it is
needless to state that due appreciation
was shown Of this additional evidence
of the thoughtfulneSS of our chiva.-
rouS host and his good wife.
The dinner hour SOOn arrived and
the delicious eatables on thei table
served to attest anew the perfection
of Mrs. Wood as a houSekeerer and to
demonstrate her skill in the culinary
art. She is a lady of many adorn-
ments of character and her christian
graceS serve to make her home a
delightful one. The day was too
soon cver and we found ourselves
speeding back towards Grenada.

Boot and Shoe Exports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The United
States heads the list of boot and shoe
exporting nations of the world, the
value of exports in 1908 aggregatins
sll, 100000, according to the bureau

ing than any other two nations, more
Illuminating oil, meats, and bread,
and is rapidly increasing the supply

Roosevelt May "Show" Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-President
Roosevelt may work the "deadly par
allel" on congress in his reply to the
recent resolution of inquiry on the
secret service incident.
1t is understood that there is now in
course of preparation as a part of the
document extracts from the house de.
bates of last May when Chairman
Tawney OF the appropriations commit.
tee led the movement to incorporate
in the sundry civil appropriation bill
the paragraph prohibiting any part
of the money being used for espionage
service outside the regular treasury
department work of the secret service.
To one caller the president said his
reply would occupy higher place
than congress had assumed, but when
asked if he would mention names in
justification of secret service work, he
laughingly replied that he could not
be expected to ''scoop himself"
The intim alton at the White house
that the reply would be "red hot"
clearly indicates that there will be
more chapters in an already sensa'
tional incident.

A Dismal Christmas For Many.

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The dark side of
the English Christmas is the great
number of unemployed and the dis.
tressing prev alence of destitution aud
suffering. This Is seen principally in
London, at Glasgow, along the Tyne
and other shipbuilding centers, where
many establishments have been closed
and thousands of men are out of work.
A email band Of shabbily dressed,
miserable looking unemployed persons
have paraded the fashionable shop
ping streets during the past week
threading their way among the lines
of motor cars and crowds of aristo.
cratic Christmas shoppers. The po.
lice accompanied the band as i,
marched, in order to prevent dis
turbances. It's members shouted In
unison as they marched, 1--WE wan,
work.
More than a thous and homeless men
assembled on the Thames embank
ment at midnight to get tickets to
Salvation Army shelters. The army,
however, was able to accommodate bu
half the crowd, and the others dis
persed, many of them being Obliged
to spend the night out of doors.

Will Rush Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-If leaders
in congress of both political parties
are able to bring sufficient influence
upon President-elect Taft, the special
session to revise the tariff will be
called almost Immediately after in
auguratiOn.
The purpose will be to cut the
special session as short as possible
and secure an adjournment before the
extremely hot weather sets in. Several
members of congress who have dis.
cussed the subject with Mr.. Taft be-
lieve that his view in regard to an ex-
ira short session coincident with the
plan suggested.
1t is expected that the house ways
and means committee will have q bill
ready to report to the special session
on the day it assemblies and that no
time will be lost by committee hear
ings. AS soon as the bill can be
drafted it can be taken up by the sen.
ate committee on finance and that
committee can be ready to report, ii
it works assiduously, as soon as the
bill has been passed by the house and
messaged to the senate.
II this course is followed and it now
seems probable that it will be, it Ii
believed the specia tariff revision car
be completed inside Of four weeks.
