Negro Killed While in Custody
of Sheriff—Identified
as Assailant. ,
McAlester, Okla., June 6.—At
*2:30 o’clock this morning a man,
whose identity the officers have
not established, poked a shotgun
through the hole of a screen door
ip Krebs and killed Krebs Batson
a negro in the custody of Sheriff
Harrison, who had been identified
by Lula Lankford and Nora
McCarlin, two whit e girls, aged
16 and 15, as having attacked
them near the Rock Island depot
in Krebs Sunday night at 7
o’clock. He had felled both
with the butt of a revolver but
the older girl got away and ran
screaming and the negro fled.
Bloodhounds trailed the man
within a few feet of Batson,s
home, east of McAlester. At
midnight Batson rode to Sheriff
Harrison’s residence and sur-
rendered himself. He said the
crowd was after a negro and
while he was not the man, he
feared violence.
Sheriff Harrison took him to
Krebs for identification.
There is only a suspicion as to
the identity of the man who shot
the prisoner down.
Death 0! A Good Man
.* .
Mr. J. F. Berry of Winnsboro
died bn the evening of June 3
at his home and was buried next
day. He had been sick for
several weeks and confined to
his bed since May 18. He was
sick before he visited Gum by the
last time to bid on the bricks
that aie now about complete.
He hurried home on that account
then and has not been any better
since.
Mr. Berry was a very religious
man during the last several years
and expressed himself as ready at
any time to go.
He lived here several years
and has many warm friends made
at that time who is sharing the
sorjrow of the family in
hour.

Candidates. Take Notice.
June 18.—Candidates for office
in districts composed of a single
county, or for county and pre-
cinct offices, must file applica-
tions to have n ames printed on
primary ballot with countv chair-
man on or before June 18.
, Reedy For the Next Or.e.
A generous and brave but very ec-
centric Virginia planter named Hill
Carter, who had once been an officer
in the United States navy, had a baud
to hand battle at fisticuffs one day
with his plantation overseer and came
off second best. He therefore chal-
lenged the overseer to a formal duel,
but the latter declined on the ground
that, being a husband and father, be
was under obligation not to risk leav-
ing his family destitute. Carter at
once removed that objection by set-
tling upon the family a comfortable
annuity. Then everything was got
ready for the fight, but just as the
two men faced each other the sheriff
arrived on the scene, took them into
custody and had them bound over to
keep the peace. Mr. Carter did not.
however, change the deed of gift with
which he had provided for the over-
seer’s family, remarking that he might
wish some time to resume the inter-
rupted fight and hence would rather
keep everything in readiness for
prompt action.—New York Post.

County Attorney,
Makes A Good Impression On Crowd
Who Applaud Him Frequently
Gen. R. V. Davidson spoke
here Tuesday night to an im-
mense crowd of voters and ladies
and was given a most respectful
and even flattering reception:
j j Cumby was out in force and
j all the surrounding towns had
| represenatives to hear the dis-
tinguished lawyer. He spoke tor
for an hour and a half and told
the people some things that they
needed to hear. His record as
attorney general of Texas was
gone over pretty fully and this
is about his strongest point. It
is one that cannot be iguo red or
belittled. No matter 9 whether
one likes Davidson or not his
record remains and the people
know it. Not in all the Union
has such a record been made nor
is,likely to be made soon. He
' blazed the way and made it easy
for others to follow. The trusts
can be handled now and will
dbe, and to Davidson belongs the
’credit of making the thing possi-
ble.
He took a shot occasionally at
his opponents but did it in a jolly
-way that showed no bitterness.
Colquit came in for the severest
raps. lie said that it if were not
for the anti views of Colquit that
not twenty-five men in the state
would think of him for governer.
He is probably mistaken. No

as thirty at least.
From our standpoint it is im-
possible to understand how a
man of Davidsons’ ability and
knowledge can favor the reten-
tion of the saloons.
j i
He is not an orator by any
means but makes a talk that sat-
isfies his friends though it it may
not.convince his enemies.
The warehouse where he spoke
was very hot and the speaker was
in a melting mood when he closed.
He was introduced by Hon. R.
R. Williams in a short talk that
was very complimentary to the
candidate. Democratic Bob
proved himself to be fully equal
to the occasion.
Hon. Bob Barker, candidate
for comptroller, was present and
niade a short talk announcing his
candidacy that seemed to please
the audience. From expressions
heard on the street he will carry
the vote here. r He is yet a ^oung
man but has had a great deal of
experience in that office as clerk
and in other positions. f*
Friends of Mr. Davidson had
decorated the hall in a splendid
manner and had everything
neatly arranged, reflecting much
credit on Cumby. They deserve
a vote of thanks from the people
for their expense and trouble as
it spoke well for all the people
and was bound to leave a good
impression on our visitors.

Language of Switzerland.
It is a curious fact that the people
most celebrated for love of country
should in a manner be without a lan-
guage—that is, a mother tongue. The
Swiss have three official languages—
German, French and Italian. About
three-fourths of the population of the
mountain confederation speak Ger-
man, while the remainder divide four
other languages among them, chiefly
French and Italian, these languages
being found, as a rule, in districts in
close proximity to the countries where-
in those languages are the principal
tongue. In Switzerland documents and
notices are printed in both the French
and German languages. In the nation-
al assembly members deliver their
speeches in either French or German,
for nearly all members understand
both tongues. The decrees and procla-
mations of the president are translated
by an official interpreter and furnished
to the press in both languages.—New
York Press.

IA Timely Warning.
“Your dog seems a very intelligent
animal,” remarked an inexperienced
sportsman to a gamekeeper.
“Yessir,” was the ready response
“Wonderful Intelligent ’e is! Yes.

A Modest Request.
An impeccably dressed gentleman
the other day when walking along
Piccadilly felt a movement in his
pocket and. clapping his hand thereto,
seized the wrist of the thief. He drew
forth the erring member, and, looking
at it with supreme disgust, he released
it. saying, with a grimace of disgust.
“For Jieaven’s sake, my good man, go
and wash your hands before you put
them in a gentleman's pocket again!”—

“Wliat’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing much.”
“But you look as if you had some-
thing serious on your mind.”
“Well, if you insist on knowing, a

become engaged to be married. Ilow

Her Fault.
The teacher in charge of the primary
department at a school in West Phila-
delphia was talking the other day
about her work and her pupils.
“They are dear youngsters,” she said,
“but they sometimes make curious re-
marks. Several times I have had oc-
casion to reprove a little boy who isn’t
bad, but who is very mischievous and
annoying. He is always getting into
trouble and making a disturbance.
“One day he had been more than
usually uproarious, and I was very
tired. Instead of scolding or punish-
ing him I began ih rather an exasper-
ated tone to talk to him.
“ ‘Tom,’ I said, ‘I’m afraid I’m never
going to meet you in heaven.’
“He looked up with the most shock-
ed face. ‘Why, teacher,’ he said, ‘isn’t
that just too bad? What have you
done?’”—Philadelphia Times.
Going Round the World.
In sailing around the world east-
ward ffce days are each a little les;*
than twenty-four hours, according to ,
the speed of the ship, as the sun i*
__•»—HtH*— —... I
These little differences added together
will amount to twenty-four hours.
This gives the sailors an extra daty—
not in imagination, but as an actual
fact. They_will have done an extra,
day’s work, eaten an extra day’s ration
of food and imbibed an extra day’s al-
lowance of grog.
On the other hand, in sailing west-
ward the sun is overtaken a little each
day, and so each day is rather longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks
and watches are found to be too fast
This also will amount in sailing around
the world to the point of departure b
one whole day by which the reckoning
has fallen in arrears. The eastern’
bound ship, then, has gained a day.
and the western bound ship has lost
one. This strange fact, clearly work A/ -•|
ed out, leads to the apparent paradox
that the first named ship has a gain of
two whole days over the latter, if we I v
suppose them to have departed from
port and returned together.—Philadel-
phia Record.

Modern Gold Mining.
Up until about 1S50 only placer or
surface gold was mined—that is, free
gold, deposited in the beds of streams,
in sands and in the crevices of rocks.
Placer mining, mainly in new and re-
mote regions, still furnishes a material
though not a large percentage of tlje
world’s output. Formerly the alluvial
gold was separated from the sands'
and gravels containing it by washing
them in pans, cradles, rockers and'
sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method
was first employed in California. By ’
this means n “giant” stream of water -
turned against the side of a mountain .
washes everything before it. The gold;
settles to the bottom of the tunnel or
sluice through which the gravel, sand,
and water flow. , In 1889 dredges or
excavators were first used in Austra-
lia. Today steam and electric dredges
produce a considerable portion of the
world’s output.—Byron W. Holt in Ev-
erybody’s.
The Dollar Mark.
“Have you.seen the Washington mon-
ument?”
“Yes,” replied the New Yorker. “It’s
a pretty tall building, but what’s the
good of it without any offices for rent?"

Economy.
Husband—Excuse me, dear, but don’t
you cook much more for dinner than
we can use?—Wife—Of course! If I
didn’t how could I economize by utiliz-
ing leftover dishes?—Cleveland Leader.
Not New.
’‘Electricity isn’t a modern discov-..
ery. It is as old as the flood.”
“How do you make that out?”
“Why, didn’t No^h have to have ark
lights?” ----------- -------------
