HODGES, ' Ff C WOODWARD, Hartwell, Ga. 1 July 14,1897 3 Great Gold Find in Alaska. Sax Francisco, July 15.?The Associ ated -? has received a letter from IT. . 8tanley, President cf the Binghamp ton, . ., Evening Herald Company, telling of the wonderful gold discoveries of Alaska. Mr. Stanley wrote from SU Michael's Island, whero he stopped on his way to the Yukon mining regioni Writing under the dato of Juno 30 he eayp: Tho steamer Excelsior, of Ban Francis co, was the first veesol to push her way through the ice to this station, The Portland, from Seattle^ arrived forty hours later* From these VesselB we learned for the first timo of McKinley'a election, the result of tne Corbett-Fltz simmons prifco light and other news of the fall and winter. The ice went out of the Yncon about June 1, and the river steamer, Portus Wear, which wintered at Dawson, 2,225 milee up> reached St. Michael's' on June 27. The Wear brought authentic news of aome of the most wonderful gold strikes in all the world's history, and brought also some forty-five miners, every man bringing in from $5,000, to 8100,000 of dust and nug gets, with an aggregate of more than Sl, 000,000. Just hoW much the Wear brought in on its own aooount as the exchange of provisions and supplies fur nished tho miners by the North Ameri can Trading and Transportation Compa ny could not be ascertained, but it la very large. The steamer Alice arrived at St. Mi chael's on June 20, bringing twenty-five miners and half a million in gold for them and, much on its own account. The passengers on the Alice confirmed the news reported by the passengers on the . Wear, which is as follows: The richest gold strike the world has ever known was made In the Klondyke regioni last August and September, but the news did not even get to Circle City until Decem ber 15, when there was a great stampede over the three hundred miles intervening between there and the newer fields. On August 12 George Cormack made the first great strike on Bonanza Creek, and on August 19 seven claims were filed In that region. Word got to Forty Mile and Circle City, but the news was looked upon as a grub-stake rumor. Cm December 15, however, authentic news was carried to Circle City by J. M. Wileon, of the Alaska Commercial Com pany and Thomas O'Brien, a trader. They carried not only news, but pros Eacts, and the greatest stampede ever nown in this part of the world com menced. Those who made the 300 miles first struck it richest. Of, all these 200 dairna staked out on tho Bonanza and Eldorado creeks, not one has proven a blank. Very rich finds were made on June 6 and 10, on Dominion Creek. Not less than 300 claims have been staked out o ? Indian Creek, and the surface indica tions are that these are as rich as any of the others. The largest nugget yet found was pick up by Bert Hudson, on claim No. 6, on the Bonanza, and was worth $257. Next in size was one found by J. Clements, on Indian Creek, worth $231. The last four pjns Cloments took out were worth $2,000, and one went $775. Bigger pots have been etruok in other regions, but nowhere on earth has so rich a general find been made as In this section. In all ? about 75 lucky miners have reached St. Michael's. Some brought but a portion of the clean-up, preferring to invest oth er portions in mines they know to be rich. Among the most lncky are J. J. Cle ments, of Los Angeles, v.- ho has cleaned up about $175,000. He brought out $50, 000 and invested the rest: Prof. T. C. Lippy, of Seattle, who bronght about $50,000, and has $100,000 in sight, and who daims his mine is worth $500,000 or more; William Stanley, of Seattle, clean ed np $112,000; Clarence Berry, $110 000; Henry Andereon, $55,000; Frank Keller, $50,000; T. J. Kelly, $33.000; William Sloane, of Nanalmo, B. C, $85,000, and at least thirty more who will not talk, but Btand guard over the triture ior their state-rooms. Then there are at least twenty more men bringing from $5,000 to ?20,000. All this gold and more to oc me Is the clean-up of last winter's work. Further particulars will follow in about forty deys on the arrival of the next stsamer, as Mr. Stanley will remain in Alaska and gather all the information he can. Married her for her Money. Gaosden, Ala., July 17.?Last Mon day Miss Fannie Broughton and Charlee May held were married in the lower end of this county. The lady is posssossed of a considerable fortune in the way of prop erty, and it is well known here. After the ceremony the couple, started to Birmingham for a bridal .tour, Mrs. Mayfield gave her husband $57 when they left here. Reaching Birmingham tbey put np at a hotel. After supper Mr. Mayfield told hie wife that he was going to a drag store as he wta unwell. That was the last seen of him up to last night Mrs. Mayfield informed the Birmingham police of her husband's disappearance and they made a rigid search for him. This afternoon she returned home, be lieving that her husband had been foully dealt with. There is a strong suspicion, however, that Mayfield skipped with his bride's money. Telegraphic inquiries to-day fail to bring any encon raging news. The unfortunate bride is prostrated with grief. A Queer Freak of Lightning. Charlotte, N. C, July 14.?During a thunder storm a bolt of lightning cut Borne queer capers at the suburban home of Mr. A. R. Logie, two miles east of J Charlotte. Mrs. Logie was in the house with the children and Mr. Logie was in the barn entertaining a farmer friend, who had dropped, in lor shelter from the storm. AU at once almost everybody on the place were knocked over. Lightning had struck a tall cedar tree in front of ! Mr. Logic's residence, and when those about the honse were able to make an investigation some curious results were found. The tree was split open and set in a blaze by the lightning, and two squirrels and six sparrows that had their homes in the tree were killed. The bolt entered the ground at the foot of the tree, ran under the sidewalk, emerged atthe stepB of the front poroh, entered the house under the front window, made a zigzag course through two rooms, thon went out of a window and made for the barn. It hit Mr. Logie and the farmer, and the latter, not having a clear idea of the situ ation, got upon his feet and advanced threateningly upon hie hoet. "What did ?on hit me for?" he wanted to know. Mr. ogie made a hasty explanation, and saved himself. Mrs. Logie and the children were knocked from their feet and stunned, and it was some time before they recovered. Tho only damage done was the shattering of a valuable collection of old ohlnain one of the rooms ol the house.

The rencounter between Senator Mc Lauriu and hia rival, ex-Senator Irby, bringe to the front once more the nettle some character of South Carolina politics. Perhaps in no other State of the Union have political campaigns been conducted with bo much rancor and bitterness as they have In South Carolina. For time almost out of mind* the public political meetings of that State have been fraught with bo much excitement as to render breaches of the peace almost inevitable. When the dominant wing of the demo cratic party Wae ?rst attacked by the reform element, acting under the leader ship of Mr. Tillman, there was so much of hateur and defiance thrown into the campaign that the efficacy of debate was destroyed, and enmities were formed which Will never be healed. If there was roughness and boisterousness on the part of Mn Tillman'e followers, there was equal contempt and want of consid eration betrayed by the others. The re sult of all the campaigns which have followed has been to exhibit South Caro lina in a light which conservativo men must regrot, and which has a bad influ ence abroad. Now that Tillman, as an element of factionalism, is passing away, It was to be hoped that ensuing campaigns would be conducted witb as much good humor as earnestness. But it seems that this is" not to be, and that already all the worst features of previous campaigns are to be Injected Into the present one. It is difficult to assign a reason as to I why this stato of things should exist. I The people of South Carolina are among the most stable and conservative in the Union? As a distinct community in the coniederation of States, the people of South Carolina have been welded together by education, by common tradition and by united interest, which should be to them a cause of pride. One element o? the South Carolina politician's nature, however, has been developed somewhat beyond reason?that is his eelf-asBertive ness. He does not court debate upon anything. He is dogmatic in nature, and having made an assertion, stands or falle by it.. He has not been trained in that school of debate which makes the Geor gian give and take. Hence, when hie word is orossed by a rival, it is regarded as personal, and the difficulty to whloh we have alluded, follows. Whatever the cause may be, the time has certainly come when, for the credit of their State, South Carolinians should inaugurate such a change as will divorce personalism from public debate, and thus free the State from euch reports as those which most spread over the Union in relating euch scenes as took place the other day. These rencountres do not take place among the lowly and the ig norant, but among those cbivalric men who aro justly lue pride of any State, but who allow their nettlesomeceesto get the better of thoir prudence. We have entered 1 upon a new era, where men can defend themselves by better weapons than brawling in public, and surely there are those in South Carolina with influence enough and nerve enough to put candi dates upon notice that if, they cannot debate public matters in a respectful manner the people can find other candi dates who will.?Atlanta Constitution ?

The letter of resignation of Gen. jee will be first printed officially in a lupplemental volume of the "War Re lords, which is now being prepared.

"His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States. -Mr. President: Your letters of July ?8 and August 2 have been received; ind I have waited for a leisure hour o reply, but I fear that will never ?orne. I am extremely obliged to you or the attention given to the wants of rhis army and the efforts made to sup )ly them.

My brother officers have been too kind to report it, and so far the troops have been too generous to exhibit it. It is fair, however, to suppose that it docs exist, and success is so necessary to us that nothing should be risked to secure it. I, therefore, in all sincerity, "request your Excellency to take measures to Bupply my place. I do this with the more earnestness because no one is more aware than myself of my inability for the duties of my position. I can not even accomplish what I myself desire.

Montgomery, Ala., July 19.?A sad story of despondeney and suicide c?rnee from Hare's beat, in Marion county. Miss Willie Ophlin Thornal, a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl, highly connected and well educated, was found dead in her room by a ser vant, with a pistol ball through her brain. 1 An investigation showed that in the absence of the family the young wo man had secured some laudanum, gone to her room and swallowed two ounces of it. She then bathed ?herself, robed herself for the grave, wrote a note to her mother, the contents of which have not been made public, and then used the pistol. She was found by the servant an hour later. Distress over domestic troubles in her father's family is said to have been the cause of her suicide. The Joke o Went into the Record.

"Your Honor, I want that to go into the'record," demanded the oppo sing counsel, I want the record to show that your Honor said the corpus ' is all right, .but you do not know about the delicti." Judge Brown realized tbat he had blundered and sat staring at the attor ney for a moment.

The following is a small boy's com position on the wasp : "A wa3p is a six-legged bird that lives mostly in trees and under the ?aves of barns, and you oannot taim him ; he is too busy. Never stroke Iiis fur the wrong way,- because it makes him mad, and when a wasp is mad I don't want nothing to do with them. He has what they cal? a 'stin ger/ and when he goes out a stinger ing, boys must keep away from him. I leaned up agin one once when he was busy : and I jumped as much as a feet ; ma had to put a mud pie on the place. I hit a wasp's nest with a stone once and the boss wasp chased me olean across the lot so fast that when I got over the fence I tore my pants; then ma spankod me till I wished I had let the old wasp sting me. "Some say wasp3 make honey, but if their honey is as hot as their sting en ng, I don't want none. Pa says the stingering ain't so bad at first as the rekolekshun of it for a few days. He ought to know, cos me and my brother Ike got on the roof a?d poked a big nest from the peak down in the barnyard while pa was milking." WINTHROP COLLECE Scholarships and Entrance Examinations.
