confined to his room for ten days only

for his many excellent traits of chal-
acter, the passing of this aged citizen
is, indeed, to be regretted.
Mr.. Glover was the eldest son of
Sterling Glover, a pioneer of South

inence in this community. At the be-
ginning of the civil war Mr.. Glover
went to the front as a member Of
Company A, Cults battalion or artil-
lery, and remained until the close Of
hostilities at Appomattox.
The deceased is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Belle Rogers, of Ro-
chelle, and Mrs. Myrtle Wammock, now
residing in Oklahoma; two sons, Stone,
wall and Jesse Glover; one brother,
MIR. j. M. Glover, residing in Florida;
and two sisters, Mrs. R. j. Perry and
Mrs R. E. Allison, of Americas. He
was an elder brother of the late George
w. and j. d. Glover, of this city.
The funeral services will be held this
afternoon at three O'Clock at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Allison GA
Church street, conducted by Rev. j..
A. Thomas, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church. The pallbearers will be
Messrs. w. B. Heys, ]. F. Bolton, W.
c. Sullivan, D. F. Davenport, M. Y.
Edwards and W. T. McMath. The vet
Grams of Camp Sumter, 642, of which
the deceased was long a member will

Friends of the deceased and of the
family are respectfully invited to az
tend.

considerable soreness, all of which
made me quite uneasy, besides being
very painful.

RUPTURE Be tween
SENATORS IMMINENT
Bacon and Smith Can't Agree
OnPatrOnage

Washington, D. c., April 19,-Sena-
tor A. 0. Bacon has emphatically de-
MED that he had made any decision as
to a recommendation for the marshall
ship for the Southern district Of
Georgia. He said he had not sent
the name of j. s. Davis, of Albany, to
the department of justice, and ther's-
fore, could not withdraw it.
The senior senator from Georgia said
also that he had not presented the
name of Pratt Adams, of Savannah, to
the attorney general for United States
attorney at Savannah He said he
had stated that he would indorse Mr..
Adams, but that he had not yet sent
that Endorsement either to the white
house or the department of justice.
In discussing the matter Senator Ba-
con said that while he had not made
any decision in the marshalship, he
was considering the name of MIR. Da-
Wis, with others, and if he decided to
indorse Mr.. Davis only the latter's I'M
fitness for the office would induce him
to make a change.
Well founded rumors have it that
the heralded harmony between the
Georgia senators does not exist, and
that a split between them is imminent
The same reports have it that state
patronage is the rock upon which the
relations will be broken. 1t is GER
tain that Senator Smith will oppose
the confirmation of the nomination Of
any man in Georgia who has consist
emily fought him.

FELT PLOWLiNE TIGHTEN
and Mules WERE GONE
Was Looking at Mail Carrier
When Team Vanished

Columbia, Tenn, April 19.-Murray
Grissom, prominent young farmer Of
the Scribner's Mill section on Fountain
creek, was quietly blowing on Friday
morning without any thought that he
was not standing firmly planted upon
terra firma when the earth under his
mules dropped about ten feet taking
the mules completely from his sigh.
When the cavern took place Mr.. Girls
som was looking toward the public
road and seing the approach of the
mail carrier he looked to note whether
OF not he deposited any mail in his
box.
One of the pillow lines used by Mr.
GFissom was wrapped around his
wrist, and telling a tightening of the
line he looked at the mules, or rather
at the place ahead where the mules
were supposed to be when, to his III
ter amazement, the team had completely
vanished. In their place was nothing
but a deep hole.
Mr.. Grissom lost no time in discon-
meeting himself from the pillow line nor
III leaving the spot where he stool.
And he stood not upon the order Of
his going, but left, and left in a hurry
When he became convinced that the
whole earth was Lot going to cave be-
meath him he returned and it required
the combined efforts of himself and
several neighbors fer many hours to
eXtricate the mules.
