the party machine is all powerful

were Democrats, while in Republican

A Puzzled Author.

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books. not
knowing it's character. offered NJ. Dau.
Diet large sum for advance sheets OF
the work. He accepted the offer. and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de.
cided that they could not issue the
book. and they cabled to the author
".Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet He consulted with
numbers Of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho" in French is spelled
with one "p"-"Saptlo." after the Greek
fashion. In English it is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re.
lieved the novelist. and he cabled back
to the publishers. spell it with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been q,

AGED CONFEDERATE
IS SHOT TO DEATH
Quarrel Over Some Turkeys
Leads to Tragedy in Hawkins
County.

RogersviIle, Tenn, June S.-James
Busick, a Confederate veteran, aged
about seventy years, was shot and al
most instantly killed Saturday after
noon by Miller Horn. The killing ac-
cured about eight miles from Rogers
vile. Horn surrendered, and is in Jail
at this place.
The killing occurred over some turk
eys. Busick had small gang of turk
eys which strayed to the Horn place,
their farms being adjoining. The turk
eys became mixed with Horns turk
eys, and the latter is claimed to have
marked some of his neighbours birus,
which were also put up. When re-
leased, they all went to Busicks He
sent word TO Horn that his turkeys
were at his, (BuSick's) place with his,
and to come for them. Horn went
over to Busick's and when told to
pick out his turkeys, is said to have
claimed more than Busick thought be-
longed to him, (Horn.) They quarrel
led, the up-shot of which is said to
have been that BusIck told horn to
take all the turkeys, get off the place,
and never set his foot there again.
Horn Went home and armed himself
with a shotgun. He returned, the
story goes, and dared Busick to come
out. Busick refused to do so, and af-
ter while Horn apparently went
away. Busick then emerged from the
house, and started down in the field
On the route, Horn is claimed TO have
stepped from behind clump of bush
es and leteling his shotgun at his
aged neighbor, fired. Busick fell and
expired almost Immediately.
Horn came TO Rogersville and sur
rendered, but has declined to make any
statement, save to his attorney.
