IS UNDER ARREST
Gen. Daniel E.. Sickles, AL
legged Embezzler, Makes
Bond and Released.
rs SO YEARS OF AGE
Wife Refuses to Aid Him and He
Orders Son From His
Home.
Is SO YEARS OF AGE

New York, Jan 22.-For few min
utes this afternoon General Daniel E.
Sickles hero of The Battlefield Of
Gettysburgh and sole SUI siving corps
commander Of the Civil War was a
prisoner of he state of New York on
tle charge of misapproDr ating $23,21b
Of the Battlefield Monument flnd.
He was given his freedom when
Sheriff Hamburger, his old friend
and successor in the office which the
latter now holds, accepsed $4,000
bond to cover the shortage and there
With began campaign 10 rai.e by
subscript on enough money to make
UP the alleged shortage. W'lile the
arrest and bond transaction was TAX
ing place in the library of the Sick. es
home on Fifth avenue. the General re-
ceived a telegram from Mrs. Helen
I4ongstreet, widow of the famous Con
federate general, in which she offered
to take up a subscription to cover the
alleged shortage.
The sher IF at the head of a small
army of deputies, counsel, bond clerks
and newspaper men found the SO
year old General in his library. After
short pleasant conversation the
sheriff alphabetically served the state
summons, which General Sickles toss
ed upon the table without looking at
it. The General than produced a
surety company bond for $4,000
which was read y accepted. The
General first kicked against paying
the state fee of $5.25 for the bond.
"Why, what's that for?' he asked.
I've already paid 5000 for this' bond"
When told it was a state fee the
General called out loudly to Miss Will
merding, the spinster whose place In
the S ckles home as house keeper is
the principal cause of the eatrange-
ment of General Sickles and mis- wife,
who has declared she will never re-
turn to him or come to his aid until
the housekeeper Is discharged.
Stanton Sickles called on his father
this morning to discuss the latter's
financial condition. The discussion
grew so bitter that the General final
ly ordered Stanton from the house
! and told him never to cross the
threshold aga n.
II shall not cross the threshold
again." retorted Stanton, until you
apologize 70 me and put that Will
merding woman out of the youse."

READY FOR THE
final BATTLE
Senatorship Race All I'm
portant Issue at the
Capital.
WILL BALLOT TO-DAY
kayanaugh Has Short Term Cinchea
Robinson Relieved to Have
Majority.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-Trains arriy-
ing IN Little Rock as early as Sun
day morning carried large crowds of
politicians, coming to make the final
H stand for their candidates for the
united States senate to fill the seat
4 made vacant through the death of
Jeff Davis. AS the day advanced the
crowds grew larger, and this morning
Searcy sent almost tlainload to
Whoop things up for Brundidge. The
crowd seems to be divided into five
sections. The first of these, and ap-
parently the largest, is for Gov. Rob-
inson for senator. Brundidge stands
next in the running. Then comes Hal
L. Norwood, closely pressed by Will
liam F. Kirby. The fifth division is
a floating one, waiting to grab at
anything in sight and rush one of
half dozen receptive candidates who
have been in the city for some time,
into the breach.
While the balloting will not com
mence until Tuesday at noon, the
trading, the keelhauling and the ap-
plication of grease to the skids is be-
ing done today. All hands are busy
at the pumps trying to keep their po-
litical ship Off the sandy bottom OF
Salt river, and tonight will certainly
witness some stringent~'@ political
manouvering.
Promptly at noon Tuesday the
House and Senate will begin ballot
ing. They ballot separately the first
day. and if no election takes place
they meet in joint session Wednesday,
and each succeeding day, to ballot
until an election takes place. There
seems to be little doubt of the cleo
ton of Judge j. NJ. Kavanaugh to
serve out the unexpired term OF Sena-
tor Davis. which ends March A. He
is reported to have about 12O pledged
votes, and there are only 1875 men,
bers in the General Assembly. II
elected Tuesday, Judge Kavanaugh
will leave at once for Washington,
= where he will relieve J. N. Helskell'
appointed by Gov. Donaghey to fill
the vacancy until the General AS
sembly should elect.
The Robinson forces are claiming
over 10 votes, which will be suffl-
cient to elect on the first ballot II that
strength can be mustered. 1t was
general belief until the last OF the
past week, that Robinson would be
elected on the first ballot Then
things began to take turn and IL
looks now as if there will be dead
lock. 1t Isl hardly probable thefe
will be an election on the first bailol'
for the simple reason the Arkansas
legislature has some very astute poll
ticians in it's ranks who have not YET
received all the political prefermeh'
for which they yearn. These men
will probably be found supporting the

the Chamber of Commerce to take
up the matter of getting the cooper

DID NOT FAVOR
GREENE'S PAROLE

In a statement given out by the
governor with reference to his grant
ing a parole to Ed Green the follow
ing language is used. "The following
names are taken from the petition
d. B. Wheeler, juror; C. o. Layton,
juror: R. c. Grow, juror; R. c. Cos
sett, juror; J. J. Tinsley foreman of
the jury, states that the jury took in
to consideration the fact that Green
should receive the same punishment
as Mrs. Carson and Page" etc.
Mr.. Tinsley stated yesterday that
time and again he had been impor-
tuned to sign petition asking that
Green be given executive clemency of
some kind, but that he had always re-
fused to do so. Why his name should
be used in this manner in connection
with the comment on the parole is
something he cannot understand

LET'S HAVE 1T.

1t is rumored that there is the pos
sibility of the city purchasing four
acres of land belonging to Mr.. d. c..
Flynn, lying to the left of West Main
street as you go out of town and be-
fore you cross Tosch's branch The
idea in the purchase is that the four
acres to be turned into a park. The
city authorities, it seems to us, would
make no mistake in obtaining this
land for that purpose. 1t would be
of easy access to the large popula-
tion at the Union mills, and not very
inaccessible to those living at the
Knitting mill. In fact, it would be
within reach of the whole population
of Union. The city park we now have
is too far out to benefit the very peo-
pie much in need of such a place for
recreation-the mothers and small
children. If the land could be pur-
chased at reasonable price, we see
no reason why it could not be obtain
ed for the purpose above named
There are lumber of large shade
trees already there, and it would re-
quire very little outlay to convert
the land into neat and attractive
park.

Resolutions Adopted.

The following resolutions were
UNANIMOUSLY adopted by the congre-
cation of the First Baptist Church
upon the registration of their beloved
pastor, who goes on June 1, "to la
Dor in another field"
The relationship of the pastor and
people should be the closest, tender
est, sweetest. Love should be the
bond that binds. Where the love of
Christ constraineth, this love
abounds.
Happy have we been under the
leadership of Rev. w. D. Wakefield,
our under Sheperd.
Our church has grown numerically,
financially, spiritually. We feel that
we are on higher ground, that we
have been led out into larger place.
Each year has given US enlarged Wis
ion, deeper trust, purer hope.>
We feel deeply grateful to our
Heavenly Father for this expression
of His rich grace.
Now whereas our beloved pastor,
Rev. w. d. Wakefield, has accepted
a call to labor in another part of the
Masters vineyard, and whereas we
know that he feels it call to enlarg-
ed service and greater usefulness,
Therefore be it resolved:
G That while it is with deep re-
gret we accept the resignation sever
ing the relationship of pastor and
people, yet we do so believing it to
be the leading of God.
(2) That we, the membership of
this church, realizing the great bles-
sing our pastor has been, is, and will
be ever to us, express to him our deep
appreciation of his faithful service,
his tender love, his Christian fellow
ship.
(3) That though the tie of pastor
and people is broken our love will go
where he goes, and abide where he
abides.
(4) That we commend him and his
family to the loving care of the Heav-
enly Father, to the church where he
soon begins his labor of love, to all
the Christians in the city of Colum-
bia. and to the people at large.
(5) That copy of these resolu-
tions be presented to our pastor by
the chairman of this committee, tn:
they be spread upon the minutes of
our church, and copies be furnished
The Baptist Courier, and the local
paper.

Sundays Greenville News)

OuHudy HTScnNllle NEWS
Yesterday afternoon the Chamber
of Commerce secretaries of five Pied
mont cities-Union, Anderson, Spar
tanburg, Greenwood and Greenville-
met at the Ottary hotel and perfect
ed an organization the purpose of
which is to work for the general bet
terment of the Piedmont section. The
plan of this organization in broad
outline is for the several commercial
organizations to work in unison to
procure those things which will be
of benefit to the section as a whole.
Instead of the dissipated energy of
each city working solely for itself
there will be cooperation in such
matters as affect the whole section
such as good roads, the general COM
mercial interests, the advertising of
the Piedmont, etc. The secretaries
who attended this meeting and the
cities they represent are as follows:
Mr.. w. X. Sumner, Union; Mr.. P.
A. Whaley, Anderson; Mr.. John
Wood, Spartanburg; Mr.. S. B. Mar
shall, Greenwood and Mr.. A. S. John
stone, Greenville.
This organization, to be known as
the Piedmont Commercial League,
will undertake to furnish news mat
ter with reference to the Piedmont
section to two hundred of more pa
pers throughout the country, thus
keeping before the country the ad-
vantages of this section. The idea is
not for this organization to seek spec
ific industries, this being left for the
individual cities, but rather to dis
seminate knowledge concerning the
general climate, social and CONNER
cial conditions. The League will
meet each month in one of the cities
represented, the next meeting being
scheduled for Union, on June tie
third. Just subsequent to this gath.
ering the secretaries will go to Char
lesion where on June the fourth the
South Carolina commercial secretar-
les will meet and where on June the
fifth to seventh inclusive the COM
mercial secretaries of the South will
gather.
The Shiboleth of the organization
is cooperation, the members believing
that this is the only way to bring
the quickest possible development to
any section. And with the develop
ment of a section the cities within
that section must perforce develop,
hence the sanctioning of this organ
ization by the officers of the several
Chambers of Commerce.

MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.

Now that DR.. l.. A. Riser's cam
paign against hookworm disease in
this county has come to a close, it
does not mean that the work is fully
accomplished. There are, no doubt,
many who have the disease, especial
ly among school children, that did
not apply for examination. More
than two thousand examinations
showed several hundred cases of the
disease. And the probability is that
there are many children not yet ex-
amined who are suffering with the
disease. But the campaign will con-
tinue to bear fruit; many parents will
have their children examined by the
family physician. AS the good re-
suits of the work already done, be-
comes more and more manifest, there
will be many who will consult the
family physician, and there secure
treatment, if it transpires that they
are suffering with tho disease.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear!
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumb1
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
