Two Convincing Reasons

From the Savannah News.
 There are two reasons why the Under kood sentiment is showing up so strong in his and other southern states One Is hat he is a. statesman of experience in Very way capable of filling the high position of President, and is just the skind of a man needed at the head of af- hirs at time when ambitious men with he hope of success are suggesting strange political nostrums for evils in the body Dolitic whose chief merit seems to be their ittractiveness to the people, but which Ire of very doubtful value. The other that he is resident of the most Amer ban section of the country, the section hat is least responsive to political doc kines that lean toward socialism.

MURRAY! PROF. HYSLOP
FINDS ANOTHER SPlRIT

Professor J. II. Hyslop, who pre-
sents the anomaly of man of sup
posed scientific attainments complete
ly enmashed in claptrap of spiritual
asm, has sprung another surprise upon
an unsuspecting and long suffel ing
public. Ever since the death OF Prof.
William James of Harvard university
Prof. Hyslop has ben tryieng to get
in communication with the spirit" of
Professor James through the inter
vention of mediums. He held large
number of seances, the records of
which would furnish materia, for a
score of the most farcical vaudeville
skits, but he never succeeded in clear
ly establishing the identity Of tie
spirit" communicating with him as
that of his learned colleague. Tho
other day Prof. Hyslop came out with
the startling announcement that, while
continuing his still-hunt for the spir
it of Prof James he ran across &
spirit who claimed to be that of tn,
late Carroll D, Wright, who was Unit
ed States commissioner of labor from
1885 to 1905. Prof. Hyslop had no
known Mr.. Wright while the latte
was among the living and he found i
a trifle difficult to establish the iden
