REAL GOOD FELLOWS.

While Lee Hicks, a farmer who
lives a short distance Northwest OF
Hartford, battles with the stubborn
typhoid fever twenty-siX loyal neigh
bors, neighbors that are neighbors,
men whose hands are not trained
for the sole purpose of favoring their
ear with the clink of the dollar as it
falls into their own pockets, gather
at the home of the sick man slaugh-
ter the weeds, worm and work his
tobacco, and attend to his crop in
a general way. For their work,
financially, they receive moth
ing, asking even less. Hicks knows
and appreciates. His worries are
lessened and he is stronger for his
battle for life.
What splendid example for any
community. Where could more I'M
selfish men be found? What
great neighborhood to live in. These
men are the real good fellows that
we hear about but seldom meet. A
microscope is not necessary to de-
tect their Christianity. 1t is hus-
tied into full view by the better side
of humanity. They not only take as
prisoners the eternal gratitude of he
who is unable to help himself and the
admiration of others but they COM
mand the respect of all who believe
in helping the hard luck victim. They
are bound closer together, they think
more of one another, but genuine re-
ward comes when one of those hardy
farmers gazes into his own soul
knowing full well that by small sac
rifice on his part he has helped a fell
low man. He is inclined to whistle
a bit and to turn the page for look
at the brighter side of life.
Our hat is off to those real good
fellows. We need more of them and
as they come so rise the stock of life.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

Fourth District Republicans have
selected their candidate to make the
race for Congress this fall. 1t would
be hard to find better man to carry
the banner than John Haswell. Mr..
Haswell is a man of strong person
atty and ability, a good mixer and
splendid orator. He is in the race
to win this fall and his chances are
fattering.
Our present Congressman has held
the place about long enough think
Fourth District Republicans and
hundreds of Democrats. A change
is due and it is quite likely that it
will take place within the next year.
No matter who wins the race it will
be clean and hard fought, because the
nominees are of the high type.
Republicans must realize that no
man is so strong that he cannot be
defeated. They must recognize the
fact they have a good chance this
fall, and get busy.

SENATE ALLOWS CLAIM
Louisville Woman To Get 1896 For

Washington, Aug. S.-The Senate

deceased, late of Paducah, for the
occupancy of the Stone mansion by
the United States authorities dur
ing the Civil War.
In September, 1861, when the

Mrs. Stones residence and used it
as headquarters until the fall of Fit.
Donelson. After il was vacated by
him it was converted into a hospital
and used for that purpose until Oc-
tober, 1865.
A number of years ago the claim
was presented to the Quartermaster
General, who held that he was with
out jurisdiction to consider II. and
referred it to the Treasury officials,
who rejected it because the govern
ment had not entered into any con-
tract for the payment of rent.
The claim has been pending be-
fore Congress for a number of years.
and recently Capt. C. c. Calhoun, OF
Lexington and Washington, has been
employed in the case. During the
present Congress, Representative
Sherley introduced a bill to pay the
claim and had it passed by the House
of Representatives. On reaching the
Senate, the bill was pressed very Wig
orously by Senator Beckham. Some
opposition was encountered by him
when the bill was reached on the
calendar, but he succeeded in over
coming the objections which were
raised and had it passed. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill will be approved
by the President within the next few
days.

The decrease in the New Bright dis

ing time. The decrease is in South
Carolina. Eastern North Carolina
has about the same acreage as last
year.
In the Old Bright district plants
were scarce and weather dry during
the early part of the planting sea-
son: conditions were favorable dur
ing the latter part of May and June
and the crop was set later than usu-
al. In all other districts dry weather
caused no inconvenience at planting
time.
In New York excessive rains and
cool weather retarded plant growth
and destroyed some fields after trans
planting was accomplished. This in
connection with a shortage of plants
caused the reduction in acreage.
In the Louisiana-Perique district
lew prices and slow sales discourag-
ed growers and the area is the small
est of recent years. In the other
districts plants we're plentiful, and,
while in some instances excessive
rains delayed transplanting for a few
days. the crop was transplanted in
good time. The stand as a rule is
better than usual, but cultivation has
been delayed in most districts by too
much rain in June.
The Georgia and Florida crop is be-
ing harvested and gives promise Of
being one of the best ever grown in
that district.
