Evans, of Geor gia, as commander-in-chief to suc ceeds the late Geneiai Stephen u. Lee, the United Confederate Veterans ad journed their annual convention late to-day. General Evans has been active in the United Confederate Veteraus, having attended all their reunions #pt one. He was commander of Georgia division twelve years with the rank of major general, suc ceeding Gordon as commander of the Army of the Tennessee department with the rank of lieutenant-general. There was the greatest excitement in the convention all this afternoon when the time came to elect a new commander-in-chief. Gen. Bennett H. Young nominated Geueral Evans in a glowing speech. General Withers nominated General Cabell and the vote resulted: Evans, 1,232; Cabell, 1,084. In the contest for th next meet ing place the vote was: Memphis, 1,19?; Atlanta, 1,120. Upon assuming the command Gen. Evans issured the following general order, No. 1.

Oommnnder William E. jjHTT] kle ls hereby appointed adjutant ^general and chief of staff, with the rank of major general. He will im mediately enter upon the discharge of his duties and will be obeyed and respected accordingly. Fllowing the election, Commander in-Chief General Geo. Gorden was elected commander of the Depnrt mept of t^he Tennessee to succeed Gfmeral Evans. '?' General Irvine Walker was re-elec ted commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, and General Ca bell, commander of the trans-Miss issippi department. There is no Color Line in Brazil. I (Arthur Ruhl, in Scribner.) Of the various manifestations of atmospheric laxity none is more in teresting to a North American than the haziness of the jolor line. This land of coffee and sunshine is a land tinged with African blood. Of the seventeen and a half millions of peo ple in the country only some six mil lions are whites. There were .'50, 000 slaves in Brazil when the Prin cess Regent emancipated them in 1887, and there are neighborhoods where the negro problem Is a prob lem only in so far as life may be a problem to Africans in their native jungles. You go ashore, for instance, to buy cigars at Bahia. It was a great place in the old slave days, be fore the center of industry moved down to San Paulo, ls a fine place still, with its tall stage-scenery build, inge, painted white or pinkish or pale blue, the fronts-an echo of the Dutch visitation of long ago often decorated with tiles. You climb the narrow winding streets to the upper town, looking out on the turquoise sea. Everywhere are ne groes-huge women, with enormous chocolate-colored arms, in white cot ton wrappers and turbans. They come swinging down the cobble stones, squat beside their fruits and green 1 parrots, lean out of ground floor windows, smoking fat black cigars. Try to take a photograph of one and her broad, Bhining face clouds over with fear of the unknown and up goes her apron over her head, in the cool interiors of these houses with spotless patios and doorways, white folks doubtless must be hiding from the sun, but one scarcely sees them. Eighty per cent of the inhab itants are negroes. You feel as though you were walking through a deserted white man's city held by a black army of occupation. About one-third of Rio's popula ion are negroes. From blacks who night have been landed from a slave ship yesterday the African tinge fades out through every gradation of mixed blood up to that of the cul tured whites of the ruling class. The Time and Place, a Secret. Paris, June ll.-In order to avoid the possibility of any unpleasant in cident it bas been definitely decided that the wedding of Madame Anna Gould and Prince Helle de Sagan will not take place in France. Al though the time and place of the ceremony are still rigidly guarded, it. can be stated that the couple will he married before the end of this month, probably in England. Students Drown Off Cat Island. New Orleans, La., June 10.-Bro ther Clement and Elmer Wilbert, of St. Stanislaus College, Bay St. Louis, were drowned off Cat Island Tuesday afternoon.

Ho is IR and Condition Serious Rhett May Run. Columbia, June 10.-Hon. D. C. Heyward will not be a candidate for the United States Senate. He is ill and leaves to-morrow for Philadel phia for treatment. Gov. Heyward has been regarded as one of the leading candidates, and it was considered that he would cer tainly be iu the second race. He has done a good deal of preliminary work and built up a strong organi zation among his friends throughout the State, who regret his forced de cision to relinquish his chance for the Senate. It has been known to his most inti mate friends for two or three weekB that Gov. Heyward's health was In a pecartous^eondttlon. Th!? condition, however, was not considered serious by any others than his immediate family and his physicians until after his trip to Georgia last week, lt was hoped that this trip would entirely .restore him, but it failed to do BO. On his return from Georgia, his condition was found to be serions, so much so that his physicians have i been insisting for several days on I taking him to a sanitarium. He has, however, thoroughly fought this idea. For several days he has been con fined to his bed, and hie condition has grown so much worse that it has been found imperative that he go away at once for treatment. While it is hoped that rest and treatment will completely restore 1 him to health, his physicians state that he will be unable to return home or to engage In any active work within less than three months or more. lt is reported that Mayor Rhett, of Charleston, will be a cand?ante.

I shall to-morrow file my pledge with the State Democratic committee as required by the rules of the party and will abide by the rules of the primary election. 1 respectfully solicit the support of Democratic voters of the State.

Old and Closely Con flited for Thirty-Seven. (Washington Post.) ? Bavaria has just recently celebrat ed, in its customary manner-that is to say, with a display of flags, mil itary honors, and gun flring, and with festivities of a less official and more popular order-the birthday of that crazy king upon whom his peo ple have never set eyes since he suc ceeded to the throne just twenty two year? ago. ? No authentic portrait taken of him since his ascension is in existence, the only bona Ade pictures ot him dating from 1868 and 1869-that is to say, forty years ago. Consequent ly none of his subjects has the slightest conception of what he looks like, and he might, if he recovered his senses, which is out of the ques tion, travel from one end of hi3 do minions to the other without ever being recognized. All that his lieges know of him is that he is very tall, that he has'become quite stout, and that be has a long beard. The anniversary which he cele brated the other day was his six tieth birthday, and he has been un der restraint as a lunatic, and in seclusion, ever since his sen sa tina I arrest In the Chateau of Versailles at the beginning of 1871. He form ed part of that cortege of petty sov ereigns of Germany, and of princes of the blood, who assembled at Ver sailles to follow the operations of the ?lege of - Paris, and to take part In the birth of the present German em pire and in the proclamation of old King William of Prussia as Kaiser. \\ urn His Mind Collapsed. Prince Otto, of Bavaria, as he was then, was present at Versailles as representative of his brother, King Louis, and had been attached to the headquarters staff. But whether it was the excitement of the military operations that were taking place, or the unaccustomed restrictions of a military character, to which he, like every other member of the staff was subjected, as in a hostile coun try, he completely lost his mental balance. He insisted upon pressing his opin ions with regard to the conduct of the war upon the old Emperor and upon Moltke, and his political vlewe upon Prince Bismarck, issueu with out warrant military orders right and left, which were the cause of considerable confusion, and Anally was found to be carrying on an ac tive correspondence with the enemy, sending letters of the most amazing character to French military com manders and statesmen. This proved the Anal straw and he was placed under strict arrest. Of course there were some at Ver sailles who. cn learning of his in trigues with the enemy, insisted that he should be dealt with In the most rigorous manner, and as a traitor. But the German crown prince (af terward Emperor Frederick.), who had been watching him carefully since bis arrival at Versailles, and who had been subjected to no end of annoyance by him, urged that the man was insane and altogether irre sponsible for his actions, and should be treated as such. y , People Reconciled to His Fate. This view commended itself also to Prince Bismarck, who realized that it was the only politic way to deal with the affair, BO as to avoid allentating the Bavarian court and the Bavarian people from the cause of German unity. The consequence was that the physicians pronounced him mentally unbalanced, and he was sent back to Munich, not as a pris oner, but as a lunatic under restraint and has been conAned as such ever since. . For several years he was Impris oned in the Chateau of Nymphem burg, in the suburbs of Munich; then he was transferred to the Chat eau of Schleisheim, and in 1878 was interned in the Palace of F?rsten reid, not far from Munich, and at Furstenreid he has been ever since, that is to say, for. thirty years, never goiug beyond the lofty walls by which lt is entirely surrounded. . Each year he ls visited by a com mission of specialists, appointed by the legislature, to report to Parlia ment on his condition, and upon the manner in which, he is cared for, and each year, too, the cabinet makes a report of Its own to the legislature, so that people are thoroughly con vinced that there ls no in jut Mee be ing done, and that there ts no truth in the foolish stories circuited at the time of his ."'cession that he was a victim of Pi.nee Bismarck's policy, and of Prussian intrigue, and that he was in reality perfectly sane. So general was this belief twenty y?ars ago, that several peasant ris ings took place, with the object of releasing Otto from his captivity, while the King's uncle, the present regent, was denounced as a usurer, subjected to all sorts of demonstra tions of unpopularity, his portraits being treated with indignity, and his statues and busts smashed. To day, however, a revulsion of public sentiment has taken place, and at the present moment the old regent ls probably the most popular man in Bavaria. Will Cure Consumption. A. A. Herreu, Finch, Ark., writes; "Foley's Honey and Tar ls the best preparation for coughs, colds and lung trouble. I know that lt has cured consumption in the flrst stages."

Mr. Manu is one of the best preachers of the county, and Is at present serving as pastor of several churches. Mr. Glover is one of the bes*t printers in (lils office and makes a great deal better living than lots of people who can both hear and talk-in fact, some people's mouths keep them from holding good Jobs. We have Known Mr. Glover for several years and during all this time we have never heard him say a word. Mr. Mann has been living in the Whitefield section of the county for several years, and he Ands no trou ble I" making his way to the homes of his neighbors whenever he feels like visiting. He states that he fre quently walks alone four or five lillies In each direction from his home. He says that he knows every rut In the road between his home and the city.
