Buck, of Georgia, has been ap pointed by President McKinley Minister to Japan, which pays a salary of ?12,C 00 a year. A pretty good job for a Georgia Buck. The United States Treasury receipts show an excess of ?9,000,000 over expen ditures for the month of March, and yet the Republicans are demanding more revenue. ma - m- m - Barney Evans, it seems, is determined to have something out of Gov. Ellerbb's administration, even if it is nothing more tban a horse, the private property of the Governor. ?- ? - A Rhode Island paper says the cotton manufacturers of New England have at last become convinced that the South is going to take possession of that industry and hold on to it against all competitors. Thoro is certain to be hot work before the extra session of Congress closes, as it ij very common for the thermometer to dance around the nineties in Washing ton during the months of June and July. ? ? ? It looks like somebody in this County should take it upon themselves to ask for a Farmer's Institute this summer. There is nothing to do in regard to the matter but communicate with President Craig head. _ _ A Washington correspondent says President MoKinley'e ambition is to in crease our territory' by annexation, and Hawaii and Cuba are'oxpecting to be un der the protecting care of Uncle Sam be fore the end of this administration. The Kentucky Legislature has been tryiDg for more than a month now to elect a United States Senator. The Re publican candidate wants only two more votes, and, notwithstanding he is offering ?5,000 each for them, it seems he can't get them. - ? o m - In the death of Hon. Daniel W. Voor hees, which occurred in Washington last Saturday, the Democracy loses one of its ablest exponents. He has represented Indiana in the United States Senate since IS77, and had been in feeble health for the past two years. The Englishmen boast that the sun never sever sets on the British Empire, and the Americans make the same boast for the great republic. When it l? 6 o'clock p. m., at the extremity of Alaska, it h S:30 a. m., the next morning at the eastern point of Maine. The Grant monument will be formally presented to the City of Now York on April 27. The occasion will be made one of grand military and civil display. The maritime nations have been invited by Secretary Sherman to send ship9 to par ticipate in the ceremonies. Many South ern organizations, including Confederate veterans, will also be present to do honor to the dead hero. The Richmond (Va.) correspondent of tho News and Courier says it is stated ^jipon high authority that Gao. Wade Hampton is tc retain his place as Com missioner of Railroads, to which he was appointed by President Cleveland. Sec retary of State Sherman a few days ago sent Gen. Hampton word that he need give himself no trouble, that he would certainly be retained by the new Admin istration. - *?> O ?i The Southern Baptist Convention will meet in Wilmington, N. C, from May 7th to the 13th. The committee appoint ed by the chamber of Commerce to aid in tho preparations for the convention have ""advised the appointmentof two members from each of the different churches of the city to assist in the work of securing homes for the delegates. There will be about 930 duly elected delegates at the convention. These will be given free en tertainment All visitors will be provid ed with boarding places at cost of from Si to ?5 per day. United S ates Senator John L. Wilson from Washington State speaks his mind out plain without any of the flowers of ] diplomacy. He would have the United State3 annex not only Cuba, but all the outlying ragged edges of North America. He ?aye: "I am an annexation ist, boldly and aboveboard. I would have Cuba if ! I could. In fact, I thii.k we should an nex, in some way or other, all the coun tries of this hemisphere. Go up even and take Greenland, with ali her ice. Send the other fellows back across the water where they belong." mom* Meny will be surprised to learn that the official enrollment of the Christian Eiuleavor Societies shows the whole number of members to be 2,830.740. There are now over 47.C00 societies; 231,000 of | the young people connected with these organizations united with the different churches during the last year. Since 1S89, they have received a grand total of j 1,048,235. The efforts of these young peo ple have not been confined to distinctive ly Christian work, the missionary and good citizenship movements have receiv ed sp-cial attention. This shows /-most efficient training on tho part of their lead ers. List week municipal elections weie held in the States of Michigan, Ohio and other sections of the northwest, and were aimOit a landslide in favor of the Demo crats. In Cincinnati the Democratic ticket won by a majority of 7,000 as against 20,000 plurality for McKinley last November. In Hamilton, Columbus, Zanesville, Akron,Springfield, (the home of Gov. Bushneil), Canton, (Major Mc Kinley 's borne), and in most of thesmall er towns, Democratic tickets were elect ed, showing great gains over the Novem ber election. The results in Ohio have an important significance. It has placed the Democrats in control of the machinery fcr the election of a Legislature and State officers next-November The Legislature elected then will choose a successor in the Senate to Mark Hanna, and all present indications point to that man as a Demo crat. Chicago elected Carter II, Harri son, Democrat, mayor by nearly 80,000 plurality, over the Republican nominee. List November the city gave a good round majority for McKinley. In Mich igan, Detroit, Battle Creek and other im portant towns were carried by tbd Demo crats. Gov. Pingrep, who has had the mayor's office at Datroit so long, pre empted for a Republican friend, was com pletely overthrown. E vane vil le, Ind., and Butte. Mon., were likewise carried by a good majority. Thus the pendulum sgins to swing the other way, and the country is beginning to right itself. ? If some men could only be convinced that it pays to be good, they couldn't be kept out of church with a gun. EUS FKOM A COUNTRY (URL IS PARIS. No. 4. itTiER Latin, Paris, March :?0, "??7. DiTORS Intelligencer: Before I ? to Paris my idea of the Quartier tin, obtained chiefly from "Trilby," 9 exceedingly hazy. I imagined it was arrow, Bohemian, demi-disreputable eet inhabited by the models, mostly rty Italians, and by the poorest and most outre of the artists. I find to my surprise that the Latin Quarter compris es about one-sixth of the city of Paris, a quarter made up of broad Boulevards and Avenues, gardens, palaces, churches, and most of all.schools, art studios and pic ture galleries. Of course there are also the narrow, dark streets, which betoken age, and well tbey may, for this first began to be the Latin"Quarter in the 12th century, when, what is now the Sorboune, was founded for the use and accommodation of 20 poor students and their masters. The Sorboune has ever since been free, but tbe students now number 17,000. There are two reasons for calling this tho Latin Quarter. One is that it is full of schools from end to end, and you know "Latin" used to be synonymous with "learning." Another ie that this part of the city is the only part that has any relics of the Roman invasion. All around the Sorboune are remains of Roman architecture! There ! is the great arena, recently restored, where, I doubt not, many a Gallic gladi ator struggled for his life, with wild beasts for opponents. There are the caves with iron bars where the lions were caged while waiting for the Emper or Julian to give the signal for the struggle to begin. At the Museum of Cluny, once the Ro man Palace of Thermes, are tho baths, with their subterranean tunnels to the Seine, the lovely river which flows through the heart of Paris. The Roman name of the city was Lutice, and it was made up of the Island nailed Isle of the City, and tho Latin Quarter. The Sor boune itself is the centre of the Quarter. It is near the Street of the Schools on which are schools of medicine, law and all the sciences One of the oldest is the College of France. There are free lec tures every day from 8 to 5 o'clock, one hour each, on every conceivable subject under the sun. The lectures are all in French, and a great many Americans attend them in order to hear the best French pronunciation. I have been to a great many, ranging all the way from Political Economy of the United States to Hebrew Archaology. Another side has the Latin Quarter, the artistic side. Iu the dark, narrow, old time streets that lead away from the gay Boulevards live the students of all kinds, and especially the Art Students. Th6y live there because they are near the schools and studios, and because it is about the cheapest part of the city. It is the most desirable quarter for many rea sons. One is that the Palace of the Lux emburg, with its beautilnl gardens and its fine museum of pictures, is open all day long. Then there is the Pantheon, a grand monument to the great men of France, and now the tomb of Victor Hugo The Museum of Cluny, too, that quaint Roman palace filled with the rel ics of a gorgeous past, in which kings and queens bore, the prominent parts. Near us is the entrance to the catacombs, that underground tomb, where the bones of 3,000,000 people are turning to dust. The names of the streets and Churches here are interesting. One street is "Our Lady of the Fields." another "The Way to Hell," "The Street of the Varnished Sheep," "Street of the Green Mill." Some of the names seem very sacrilegious, as, for instance, "Street of the Infant Jesus," and "Street Where God WTas Boiled." This last was named from a legend to the effect that a wicked Jew took a piece of consecrated wafer, the Sacrament Bread of tho Roman Church, and broke it very I irreverently. It bled, and the people were all frightened. Then the wicked Jew cast the wafer into a pot of boiling water, and the water became blood. The Jew was burned at the stake for sacrilege, j The French seem very irreverent to us anyway. They dedicate saloone to the Holy Virgin, and beer to the Infant Je sus. A sign reads like this: "Gloves j cleaned by the Grace of God;" the stores are named for the saints and martyrs. Sunday is the holiday for some of the well-to-do working people and for all the I upper classes. The poorest people seem busier that day than any other. Tbe I building of houses, hauling of stones, etc., go on just as on week days. But [ the gaily-dressed crowds in the Parks and Art Galleries show that to the French I Sunday is a grand Fete-day. The mati nees at all the theatres are on Sunday and ! the races, baseball and tennis all come off on Sunday. I must tell you about the only Protes tant Church in the Latin Quarter. It is an Episcopal Chapel, and was built here for the benefit of American and English Art Students. Some years ago a Presby terian clergyman happened to be in Paris, where he incidentally learned that there was no mission for tbe Art Students and that consequently they left off going to church altogether. He at once begun services in a studio on Sunday evenings. He soon had crowds of hearers and did a lot of good. Then he petitioned the large Presbyterian Church here to help him build a chapel for the students. The church refased and he went for help to the Episcopal Church. The Vestry there decided that they would build the chapel on condition that Episcopal service should always be held there. The chapel was built and there was no one else to carry on the service, so this noble missionary gave up his own Church views, studied for the Episcopal Ministry, and was made rector of the chapel. He showed the true missionary spirit in giving up his belief for the sake of the students. He was rec tor for only a short time, when he died, lamented by all who knew him. His friends say that his heart was broken be cause he had sacrificed so much. Well, the chapel is there, and we have a very fine clergyman. The students call this little mission the Tin Church, because it is covered all over with zinc. There is a Presbyterian Mission held in a studio now, where they have fine singers from the Opera, a lecture, and afterwards aso cial gathering and refreshments. The students cali it the Lemonade Counter. Here in the Quartier Latin we have splendid country markets twice a week Wednesday and Saturday. Then you may see the Art Students, men and wo men, sally forth with large network bags; later, you may see them return with those same bags packed to bursting with pota toes, lettuce, apples, horse-chestnuts, cheese, maccaroni and a little of every thing you ever saw and perhaps some things you never saw, in the way of eata bles. The last are cockles, snails and j mushrooms. I like tbe mushrooms very much but draw the line there. There are some girls here who say they have tasted everything the French eat, notably horse-flesh which is on sale at moet of the markets though mule flesh is said to be more delicate and consequently costs more. You can get a quart of snails for three cents, and a quarter of a pound of strawberries for SI. Molasses is sold by the pound and bread by the yard. In my next letter I want to tell you about tbe magnificent festivals and pro cessions which the French have every year. The principal ones Mardi Gras, Micareme and the Battle of Roses. They are more characteristic of the people than anything else in France. D. J. B. Destruction by the Flood. St. Louis, April 10.?St. Louis factors say enormous damage has been done to the cotton planting interest of the South as the result of the flood in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and a portion of Southeastern Missouri. It is estimated on a conservative basis that the inundated territory along the line produces an an nual average of 1,000 000 bales of the high est grade cotton. From present indica tions the average output will be materially reduced by the ravages of the waters ; in fact, in many localities it is doubtful if j any crop at all will be raised, while in others there will be a sickly yield. A million and a half bales of cotton, even at the ordinary price, aggregates probably 950,000.000 and conservative estimates place the damage to cotton alone at about this ligure, not to take into consideration other lojses incideut to the flood. The South at Grant's Tonili. New York, April 10.?The Sons of Con federate Veterans, a society of young Southerners, held a meeting to-night to make arrangements for appearing in a body in tbe Grant parade. The New York branch of the society, which was formed a week ago, now numbers more than one hundred members. James R, Branch, who was elected commander-in-chief last week, will appoint his staff within the next few days. A resolution was adopted inviting the o ili ce r s and staff of the Con federate camp of New York to be the special guests of thd society. On the day of the parade the Stonewall Brigade Band, of Staunton, Va., which sorved through the war and got its name from Stonewall Jackson, will march with the society. ? No man need expect to play on a golden harp in heaven who only contrib utes tq,the church collection on a mouth harmonica basis. Horror of Uic Rail. Charlott , . C, April 11.?The dif I forence ol'a iniuutein watchesor t..iin or ders to-day caused the loss on the South ern of three lives, injuries to six persons and the loss of thousands of dollars to the railroad. The most frightful railroad ac cident that has startled this section of the State sinco the great wreck at Bostian, near Statesville, in August, 1S91, occurred this morning at Harrisburg, a small town about thirteen miles north of this city. Train No. 36, the north-bound Florida special on the Southern, and train Xo. 11, the south-bound local passenger, collidod, killing three persons and wounding six The killed p.re: T. Clingman Dent?n, of Charlotte, aged 35, postal clerk on Xo. 11; Titus Eudy, of Forest Hill, Concord; Will Donaldson, fireman on No. 30. Wounded: W. B. Tunstull, of Dauvillo, engineer of No. 30, badly scalded on the head, arms and face; J. C. Kinnoy, of Thomasville, engineer of No. 11, scalded about chest, back, arms and neck?will die; James Lo veil, conductor of No. 11, cut on the face; Fitzhugh Lee, colored, porter on No. 11, legs hurt; William Clemens, of East Durham, N. C, slightly hurt; R. E. Gallagher, express messenger, hurt on the head and arms, also badly bruised. The accident occurred at 11.12 o'clock. Train No. 30 was manned by Engineer Tunstall, Fireman Donaldsou and Con ductor Gentry. It left Charlotte late, but had orders to have the right of way and meet No. 11 at Harrisburg. TIif train consisted of an engine, mail car, two express cars full of vegetables, baggage car, second and first class coaches and two sleepers. The track for a mile or so approaching Harrisburg is perfectly Btraight, excopt at one point, where there isa small curve and a considerable cut. The side track at Harrisburg can be plainly seen for more than a mile approaching from this side. Capt. Tunstall, who was, of course, on the lookout for No. 11, kept his eye on the distant siding, expecting evoiy minute to see No. 11 run into it, but, S9eing that the track was clear and no train approaching, and having the right of way, he steamed ahead at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, but by reason of the topography of the country"losing sight of the siding as he neared it. No. 11, the local passen ger, lelt Concord late. It was manned by Engineer J. C. Kinuey, Fireman Ed Lee and Conductor Jas. L?vell. It had or ders, so one of the trainmen says to meet No. ?G at Harrisburg at 11.14. It had slowed up, preparatory to running into ths siding, and was only a hundred yards from the north end of the switch when No. 3(! dashed into the cut. The two engineers faced each other with faces blanched with the fear of a horrible death. Engineer Tunstall ap plied hie brakes and jumped. Almost at the same instant that the headlights faced each other the deadly crash came. The crash was heard for miles around, and the noise was like that of a sharp crack of thunder. There were ninety-six passengers on No. 36. As soon as they felt the jar of tho air brakes they knew something serious was wrong. Several of ihem were thrown forward iu their seats, but none of them were hurt. The instant tho train stopped they jumped out to see what had happen ed. The scene that met their eyes beg gared description. There were "the two great engines piled one above the other, so that the headlight on one?No. 11? was up amongst the telegraph wires ; the two express cars of No. 35 were splintor ed into a thousand pieces, hardly a piece as big as a man's arm being loft. In less than three minutes' time the postal car of No. 11 was on fire, and but for the use of the chemicals at hand, and the heroic work of Postal Clerk John Hill Carter, both trains would have been in flames in a few minutes time. But tbe first thought of those who hurried from the trains to ascertain the cause of the stop page, and who were greeted by the frightful scene described, was for those who were in the cabs and forward cars. What of them, where were they ? The eager questions were soon answered by sights that made the heart sick and a sense of faintness to overcome one. Out of the rear part of tho postal car No. 11, which was demolished by tbe engine of No. 3G, hung Postal Clerk Benton, head downward. His body was out of the car, but his legs were pinioned in un der the engine, and so close to the boiler that he was bsing burned by the heat andeteam. He begged piteously to be extricated. "Cut my legs off, 'cried bo. "I am being scalded to death." Heroic efforts were made to rescue him. Three jacks were placed under the engine, and the passengtis worked hard, but there, for an hour and a half, he bung with his body out of tho car and his legs pinioned next to the hot boiler. The only relief that could be given him while in this frightful position was the keeping of hia body wet with cold water. A bucket brigade was formed and bucket after bucket was thrown on him, but it could not counteract the effecta of the steam. Helived fifteen minutes after being tak en out. D?ring that time his agony was frightful. He refused to take any spirits, saying that he would soon be dead and that it was not worth while. When asked whether he wanted to betaken to the hos pital or his home, he said: "I will be dead, it will not matter." lie told the bystanders about his wifeand children in Charlotte, and, with their names upon his lips, expired. The body of Fireman Donaldson, of No. 3D, was found in tbe centre of tbe wreck. It was a sickening sight. His head was mashed perfectly flat, and his body was a mass of pulp. One arm could not be found for some time. John Eudy was found about the centre of the wreck, under the mail and express cars. He never spoke, but died a few minutes after being taken out. Capt. Tunstall was picked up on the embankment unconscious, and was found to be badly scalded, on the face, arms and head. He regained consciousness after being carried into tbe ambulance car. Capt. Kinney was pulled out from the wreck alive, but so badly scalded that he was not expected to live through the night. It was thought that he had in haled tho steam as he begged constantly for something to cool him inside; that he was on fire, lie became unconscious shortly after reaching here, and to-night his recoverv was pronounced impossi ble. From the rear part of this engine the colored porter, Fitzhugh Lee, who had gotten on the engine to flag at Harris burg, was taken out from where he was fastened down b.v the timbers of the mail car of No. 36. He had to be eawed out. From his knees down ho was fastened. Fireman Ed Lee, of No. 11, was not hurt, but bis clothing caught on fire and it was nearly all torn off him in order to save him He came to Charlotte clad in r blanket. Ha was unnerved by tho shock of the collision, the sightof his engineer's sufferings. Express Messenger Gallagher was not seriously hurt. William Clemens was painfully hurt, but not seriously. He was found with Capt. Tunstall on top of tho embankment. John Eudy, who was still living, was put on board tbe car. He was not mash ed, but was hurt internally. He died between here and Harrisburg. Engineers Kinney and Tunstall were placed on beds in the smoker of one of the Pullman cars A large force of hands was put to work removing the debris. Engines were pull ing at each end of the pila to reduce it so tho woik of clearing could be better car ried on This work was kept up all day and night. Another force of hands was put to work building a track around the wreck. The bed was made and rails laid, the track was ready for travel by night, No. 35, the fast mail passing over it. The heroic conduct of Postal Clerk Car ter won for him the admiration and praise of everyone on board Senator Money and Mr. L. B. Musgrave, of Birmingham, who were on board the train bound for Washington, will use their influence in Washington to have him promoted. They say they never saw greater heroism dis played. Fatal Pistol Accident. Darlington, April 10.?Asad accidont occurred at Lowther's Lake, near here, this afternoon. Two young white men, George Bacotand a sou of Dr. J. B. Jarrott, of Florence, were fishing. They stopped fishing and were shooting a pistol at a target. In reloading tho pistol it was ac cidentally discharged, the ball striking Jarrott on the frontal bone, piercing tbe brain. He will certainly die, and Dacot is almost frantic, with grief The young men were groat friends, and Jarrott was visiting Bacot at the time the accident occurred.?Hews and Courier. ?

ITavaka, April 5.?Every mail bring to General Leo letters of inquiry regai ing missing Americans, supposed to somewhere on the island of Cuba. Kspe cially touching are thoso penned by th hand of some poor, widowed mother, w appeals to the American consul to assi her in finding her boy, whom she ha every reason to believe has cast his with the Cuban patriots. A few extracts from some of their lette are interesting : "My only boy, General Lee, and he w so noble and handsome. I almost kno he is in Cuba, possibly in some loathso prison, or maybe dead. For God's sale and that of a widowed mother, who grieving herself to death about her bo look him up for me, general." Another: "Oh, General Lee, if you on knew of the agony ol a mother who h not heard from her boy in over si months! How I listen for tho coming the mail man day after day, and each d I think perhaps to-morrow will bring news of my boy. Ilo was on bis way Cuba when I last heard of him. Eve night I take his picture, and, with t golden curls 1 cut from his head when was a baby boy I hold them to my brea and pray to (Jod to keep him safely an someday bring him back to me. A now it seems to me that he must be the in some Spanish prison. Oh, Goner Lee, search for my boy and send hi back to me." And another: ' I have something boa ing on my mind, and it has almost brok my wife's heart. We had a dear son w left home on the 18th day of IJecemb IS!)"). I wish, as a parent, you would pia your honored self in our place for a mo mont, and then I know that you will use your utmost endeavors to find out wheth er our dear boy is in Cuba or not." As to Americans iu Cuba and in the Cuban army, there are not as manyas might be supposed, and I should say that approximately there are not over 1200 native Americans on the entire island, and there has been from twenty to thirty inquiries weekly since the war began This conflict has been goin? on now for more than two years, and with tho Cuban patriotic army estimated anywhere from :j0,000 to (10,000, and 300,000 Spanish troops, supposed to bo actively in the field, with an average of threo to five engagements, officially reported per day, there has not been S.000 killed in battle. According to the files of the Lucha, the semi official Spanish organ of Havana, however, there has been more than 00,000 Cubans killed in battle and at least 400 miles of mules captured and enough am munition to sHpply the armies of the civilized world for two years. There has not been, during the whole war, a tenth rate battle At the present time there is very little fighting, and when the rainy season sets in next month there will be even less. Tue Cubans have shown some good gen eralship while the effort of the Spaniards have been the subject of ridicule from all who have even a limited knowledge of military tactics. What prospect does the average Ameri can have in the Cuban army? None what ever. Nearly all of those who come over in filibustera know absolutely nothing about the Spanish language. There is no military scienca necessary to dodge the Spanish columns in the hills. There is no promotion, and it is almost a certainty that the American will catch fever or smallpox or some other diseaso peculiar to the country. If he gets wounded or sick he is sent to one of their hospitals, and if the place is captured he is murdored along with the Cubans. Tbero is neither money nor glory to be gained. Many Americans join the Cuban army, but f?w remain. They find the rough Cuban insurgent so different from the picturesque descriptions in the press and instead of the bold machette charges, day after day they are dodging here or biding there, and soon the American volunteer has gotten his fill, and then ho manages as best he can to get away. Meeting of the State Board of Control. Colombia, April 9.?Tbero is a good deal of talk in the city about the meeting of tho State Board ot Control, which ad journed last night. There was a good deal of surprise as to the results of the elections and a great deal more at those that did not occur. It is to be noted that the positions of chairman of the board and chief clerk to the board were left open, there being a deadlock on the mat tor. Chairman Jones could have beon re-elected chairman of the board had he voted for himself, but this he declined to do, and he will not do so. This morning some of his friends advised him to take such action and settle the deadlock. Mr. Jones is entirely indifferent to his re election, but does not care to be summa rily deposed unless there is eome cause for it. As to the election of tho clerk there has been no end of talking. So far as is known there has been no avowed or regular can didate for the position acainst Mr. Scruggs. The name of Mr. W. H. Law rence, of Darlington County, has been mentioned in connection with the place, and many seem t ) think that hejwould get tho place last night and in many quarters there is much surprise that no aotion was taken in the matter. Mr. Scruggs, how ever, still holds the fort, and his friends think that he will be elected by the board when the election does occur, while on the other hand those who are making the fight on Mr. Scruggs insist that he can never be elected by the board. It is a merry light. It was said that Mr. B. Montoue, who for many years lived in Charleston, and who knows what ho is about at all times, had said that he would offer the State a net profit ol S2->0,000 per year for the dis pensary business. Mr. Montoue wassaon about the matter this morning and said that ho bad made no formal proposition of this kind to the State Boaro of Control because ho knew that the board bad no authority to consider such a proposition. Mr. Montoue says that, without the slight est refleotion o? the management ot the dispensary, he thinks that, with the ex perience of thoso he would expect to as sociate with him, he could make money out of the business and still pay the State ?ii."i(),000 net. He says he has made such a remark and that at any time that the State would entertain such a proposition he would be perfectly willing to form the syndicate to take charge of the business. Of course the understanding would have to bo that everything in the law, as it now stands, was to be enforced to the let ter, and a bond would be placed with the State for the absolute observance ot the law as it now stands. While there may be nothing whatever in the matter it is certainly a good thing to think about. Mr. Montoue is not a dreamer, but a solid, substantial citizen who went out of the wholesale liquor business when tho State passed tho dis pensary law.?New and Courier. To Wed Again. All nudi Journal, April 9. Gov. Atkinson announces to-day that his son, Mr. J. P. Atkinson, will be re married to Miss Byrd in Chattanooga Sunday next. Miss Byrd is now in Chat tanooga visiting Mrs. Mansfield, a friend of Mrs. Byrd. Gov. Atkinson, Capt. Oscar Brown. Judge Spencer Atkinson, of the Supreme Court, and Judge Joseph S. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Byrd and Dr. Henry McDon ald, who will perform the ceremony, will go up to Chattanooga Saturday night to be present at the ceremony. This will be performed at Mrs. Mansfield's home. Sunday eveninir the pirty will return to Atlanta, and Mr. J. P. Atkinson and his bride will go tho mansion, where for the present they will reside. Mr. J. P. Atkinson will continuo as one of tho secretario i of tho exoeutive de partment. Miss Byrd taught in a mission Sunday School connected with the Socond Bap tist Church, and her pastor, Dr. McDon ald, has, therefore, been selected to sol emnizo the marriage. This will be the happy consummation of a remance that has attracted general interest. Tho determination that is so striking a characteristic of his father has been in herited in a full degree by the son, as young Atkinson's persistence in making Miss Byrd bis wife shows. Though but hi years old, he has overcome all tho bar rierd that his youth and parental opposi tion on both sidos could intorposo. Some weeks prior to the time the cere mony in Romo was performed, ho made an attompt to steal tho girl, and was only prevontod by tho personal exertions of the (Jovernor himself. Tho young lady's parents, who, like Gov. Atkinson and his wife, strongly ob jected to tho match, because of the youth fulness of tho sweethearts chielly, sent their daughter oil' to the homo of a kins man near Cartersvillo. The boy loarned her whereabouts and followed her, and carried her to Kings ton, where they wero married by a Jus tice of the Peace. Even after this every thing was dono to persuade them to live apart until their schooling at least had been finished. Tho boy was obstinate, however, and finally forced his parents and Miss Byrd to lot their love have its way. It was, therefore, decided to have the" ceremony performed a second time, and in a more solemn manner, and today tho Governor and Mr. Byrd iixod Sun day as the dato for tho second ceremony. Ic still continues to rain and the farmors are badly behind, there being scarcely any time to plow. The roais are almost im passable in place?, but etili there ia a lot of travel. Mr. Vaughn is at work with the ioad machine, but the work done now will not bo of much advantage. Quilting la the order of the day now. From tbe amount quilted by some of tho fair young ladies there must be going to be some changing of names, but perhaps it ia a ?ign of a few old maids. Toe health of the community is splendid except colds and a few caaes of tho mumps. Mr.?. W. A. Clemment of Belton, has been in our community. She also visited in Greenville County, accompanied by Miss A O. Norrip, who was canvassing with her Wishing machine. She made one sale and hopes to make several by fall in that community. All who saw the ma chine were well pleased with it. It is one of the best things that has ever been through this community, and something that the women certainly need. Any one seeing this and wanting to see one of the machines work, by writing to Mrs. Mag gie Norris, Toney Creek, S. 0., ehe will bring them a machine at once. She has the Bgency for Anderson and Greenville Counties. Mr. W. L. Sutherland has opened a store and hopes by fall to do a lively business. Stores are getting to be quite common in these partd, there being three at Cdlhoun, two at Toney Creek. So there Is more to buy than there is to buy with we fear. Some of our fair sex have received some very charming April fools, but some were not so badly fooled as you would expect, as there was more truth than poetry in the wr ;ng. .rried, April Sth, 1897, at her resi ci ?, Miss Sue Poore and Mr. Charley Choohire. eon of Dr.R.

It is thought now the pic nie will be postponed till the third Saturday in May on ajcount of the people being so far be hind with their work. It will seem quite a long time with the young folks, and whether it will be a pic nie on the third Saturday is a question asked by many of the young folks, as it hai always been on the first Saturday in May. There was no preaching at Shady Grove Sunday. Some went to Sunday School in the morning, and others went in the after noon. Miss A. 0. Norris and brother attended Church at Dorchester Sunday and wit nessed the marriage of Miss Annie Cox and Mr. Edwin Aoker. Edwin ia one of our County boyp, and all wish him well. Mr. Marion G. was visiting on this side Sunday aiternoon. It is strange how far a fellow "will go to Sunday School when the roads are so bad. Also Mr. Tom. passed through this community and seemed to be all smiles. The women are quite bu3y now with the Spring cleaning. Those that have not yet begun are dreading it, and also the men, too, for they generally get enough of it before the work is completed.

If the Moseley writer will extract the cube root of his "problem" he will get his answer. Now, as time about is fair play, we wouhMIke to ask a question or two. Why is it that he, and other writers from the same place, are constantly talking about "our streets." We have been by this place many times, and have never seen anything but a big road, two houses, two ator?.i, one depot, a streak of rust, which is called by some a railroad, a bunch of bull rusa and one church. There may, however, be "streets'' there, but they run from a bolo In the ground to a hollow log, and are certainly not near the big road. We will hail with delight an answer to tbe above question and also the two following : Who is ''Ellis Iluckaby What kind oi hande are "wage bands ?" Prof. W, Kingsley gave an entertain ment here in the Academy Friday night, consisting of a graphophone concert and a stereoptica i display. A large crowd was present and every one was much pleased.

Thore will be a protracted meeting at Fellowship, commencing Thursdav night, 15th insr., conducted by Rev. B. Hays. We are certainly glad that the readers of the iN'TKr.uuENCKR have been inform ed by the Moseley dude that we had the pleasure of taking Will. Cowan's best girl to Poplar Springs last fourth Sunday. We also inform you that she has other escorts besides Will Cowan. We also wish to in form him that when we take an evening drive we do not drive through the old fields, across gullies and up hills as steep as mountains, as the Moseley correspon dent does. As we do not wish to enter into any controversy with him we will make this our last. ' Rex. Old People.
