orable and best business men in this community and we will not lower the dignity of the Graphic fby consider ing such infamous charges and in situations. <, f5 ;! q, Ys hf,sa N, As an evidence of the care and cor rectness of the young men making the affidavit 1t will be noted that they fixed the total number of real estate owners ine the county at 4,532 while the sworn affidavit fo 'Msssrs T.J. Collier, D. w. Boyce and O. F, Mckenzie of the, Taxpayers Protec- tive gAssaeiatidn, fix the number al only 3,SS6, difference. of about 750 and if these last figures should b2 taken, as correct. the Free Bridge ad vocates! would hays a majority in number of nearly nine hundred in- stead of five hundred Messrs. Hanf Gillespie and Bloom state that they have spent more than four msnt.r tabplating and checking the petition: against the tax booka and state that their figures of 4,632 are correct.
 Too much honor and credit cannot be given the Bridge Commissioners for thehr splendid showing. When il is considered that the opposition his waged ane of the bitterest and mos, persistent campaigns ever carried on in t.is country, with seemingly un- limited funds at their disposal, flood ing the mails and newspapers with their side of the question while the Bridge Commissioners have had tc rely solely upon the worthiness of the proposed improvement and thei, plain, honest and business-l like presentation of the cost and benefits to accrue, their success shows what abundance of favor the Free Bridge is looked upon.
 Great credit is due to the citizens themselves in partrioticaily signing the petition in the face af the glar- ing misrepresentation circulated re- garding the cost of the bridge and the tax upon their property it in wolves.
 It demonstrates beyond all doubt that the people are fully convinced that Pine Bluff and Jefferson Coun- ty have reacEed their limit in growth and prosperity unless this Bridge anG additional railroad lines arc brought into them.
 The Graphic hopes that no delay will occur in pewfecting the appeal to the Supreme Court and that an early and favorable decision will bo rendered.

CoffinIess Funeral.

The Bacchanalian funeral in Italy, which took half day to reach tha. burial place. is very like what Dean Ramsay tells Of bygone Scotland. There was the old maiden lady ot' strathspey who bade her grandnephew see that as much whisky was used at her funeral as had been used at her baptism. Tho churchyard was ten miles from her home; it was short November day; and night was closing in when the funeral procession ar. rived. "But whaur's Miss Ketty?" ask ed the grave digger, and being an. swered. ."In her coffin, to be sure" he still missed the coffin. The party, dur ing halt at wayside inn, had rested 1t on dyke, and forgotten it when they resumed their way; and the in. torment had to be postponed until the next day.

hand. 1t came out in a hurry to clap
over the woman's mouth as she scream

POST MASCOT IS
IN GUARDHOUSE
Fiddler" Has Been Perfectly
Good Dog, But Surgeon Fears
Pet May Have Rabies.

It's lonesome on the reserva ton at
Fort Mcpherson these days. The reg
ment is all there, and there's plenty OF
baseball but Fiddler and his friends
are all in close confinement
Fiddler is the regimental mascot and
has been for twelve years. He Is a
brown dog with a tail that never stops
wagging, and he is the best chum of
every man and child on the reserva-
ton. He Is really the property of Ser
geant Miller. an old Indian fighter. who
picked Fiddler up in Cuba years ago.
But every man at the post is his
friend
no: it isn't Fiddlers fault that he is
locked up like a refractory private. It's
because a certain inongrel pup went
mad and chewed the fingers Of ten
soldiers a few weeks ago and the sur
geon thinks perhaps the pup bit all the
other dogs before his head was ampu
tated. So Fiddler and all the rest Of
the four-legged pets of the post are
held to see what will happen. They
don't like it, as the chorus of doleful
howls informs every one within ear
shot of the post
There are lots of dogs, company
mascots and private pets, at the post
but Fiddler is the favorte. He en-
listed in Cuba. has been to the Philip
pines. the Texas border. back to Cuba
and to Washington and home again. In
fact. wherever the Seventeenth goes
there goes Fiddler. He is getting adj
vanced in age. but he isn't too old to
mascot successfully. And when Fid-
dIer answers the last roll call there'll
be a funeral at the post which even a
colonel might envy.
