seen on Tom Marsh's farm four miles
south Of Lake City last Friday. c. L.

bell is an ordinary sleeps bell and makes
plenty Of noise. The buzzard is having
his share Of fun out Of it. too. Mr.. Moo
mau says it is soaring all the horses and
cattle on the range in that vicinity and
they run as long as the buzzard is in
hearing distance. Whether someone
caught the buzzard and tied the bell on
the birds neck or whether it became
fastened on while the buzzard was de-
vouring a carcass, is not known; but the
fact remains that his buzzard.hip is wear

An incident happened Sunday night

home from church Col. MacCresor
was bitten on the leg by a dog while
crossing the steet at his home. 1t was
done so quickly that Col. MacCreeor
did not have time to dodge or defend
himself. The bite was quite painful
and it produced bad looking soreness.
but it will probably not. result seriously.
1t was later learned that the dog is
owned by Mrs. McCracken and that ii
was following the children who were out
riding in carriage. Mrs. McCracken
does not desire to keep the dog but so
far has been unable to find anybody to
Kill it. This. however, should serve to
put everybody on guard. Dogs should
be watched closely and none should be

the former Bristol policeman, now in
Jail in this county, and who is to be
tried for murder of Policeman Houston
Childress seven years ago, has issued a
statement relative to the news from
Spokane, Wash, indicating that he may
have been connected with the disapper-
ance of Policeman Staubeine, of that
city, whose body was found in the river
a few days ago. Walk expresses the
belief that he is being connected with
the Staubeine affair to prejudice the
public against him in his trial here He
states that Police Chief Stauffer, of
Spokane, is his personal enemy and that
when he left Spokane he had suit pend
ing against Stauffer for damages in the
sum Of SO, 900, which believed he would
have won. Walk declares that Staub-
cine was his personal friend aud that he
would have had absolutely no cause for
killing him.

Pretty much the same can be said of the
one who can read and who can but will
not pay his poll-tax for that privilege. -
Abingdon VirgiIan.
Is this the kind of vindication Mr..
Stuart will offer for himself when he
goes upon the stump? Does it free him
from the pledge he made his constitu-
ents and the white people of Virginia
that 1.-The poorest and most uneducated
white man cCm and triu vote under the
provisions of any of the bills''-suf-
frage clauses in the new constitution?
Is this fulfillment of his appeal to the
white men: Twill you stand by the
Democratic party which gave the poor
man his suffrage and which is pledged
to transmit it to his posterity?" Did
Mr.. Stuart stand pat on these pledges?
II so, how does it happen that twenty
thousand white men of voting age in
the Ninth district cannot or do not vote?
If these twenty thousand white men do
not vote, is it because they are disqual-
flied, or not?
The Abingdon Virginian tells US that:
Pretty nearly every Democrat has
been qualified in the Ninth district
There are some who could not qualify
because they could not read" So, you
have some Democrats that have heen
disfranchised by their illiteracy. How
can Mr.. Stuart escape from his pledge
that no white man should be disfran-
chised because of his illiteracy?
Speaking further the Abingdon Vir-
ginian says: 1.-THE thousands whom
they claim to be disqualified must, there
fore, be Republicans. If that be so the
illiteracy in that party must be enor-
nous" If this be true, does it Justify
Mr.. Stuart's violation of his pledge that
no white man should be DISTINGUISHED.
no matter how poor or uneducated he
might be? Was the pledge made to all

These thousands of white men, whose
citizenship is dead, can do nothing to
relieve themselves. But there are six
