THE PEOPLE WIN
A Democrat Elected to Succeed a Republican
in the House.
WON A GREAT VICTORY
Wipes Out a Republican Plurality
or over fourteen Thousand and
Carries the District by Nearly Six
Thousand to the Great Surprise of
His Political Opponents.
A dispatch from Brackton, Mass.,
Bays the national political weathercock
turned to the Democrats in
Massachusetts on Tuesday, when the
old colony section, one of the Republican
strongholds of the State.
i( placed Eugene N. Foss of Boston, one
of the country's leading exponents
of reciprocity with Canada, in the
Congressional seat of the late William
C. levering.
Mr. Foss accomplished what was
regarded as almost a political miracle,
turning a Republican plurality
of 1 4,2f>0 into a Democratic victory
of 5.640. The vote was:
Eugene N. Foss, of Boston (Democrat.)
J 4,980. William R. Buchannan,
of Brockton (Republican,)
9,340. It was the most overwhelming
defeat thai the Republicans have
met in Massachusetts since Governor
Rates was overthrown by William L.
Douglass, six years ago.
The result is considered of more
than State-wide importance, for Mr.
FYiRS Rtiininnil tliu

on national quest ions and the people
backed him up with a whoop. It
was the first contest to he decided
by tlhe voters since the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill became operative, and
had a peculiar interest on that account.
Mr. Fohb. who has figured in several
campaigns, first asc a Republican.
and later as a Democrat, with
moderate protectionist leanings, left
the Republican party last year on
the issue of. Canadian reciprocity,
and became the Democratic candidate
for Lieutentna Governor, lie failed
by only 8,0000 votes to carry the
State at that time.
The 'hieih cost of living, the Democrats
charged in the campaign to
the Payne-Aldrich tariff hill and the
failure of the Republican party to
properly supervise the trusts. The
fourteenth district has been the most
consistently Republican district in
Massachusetts, having never before
elected a Democrat to Congress.
The remarkable shift of votes is
difflcut to analyze. The Republican
leaders admit that their party, in
the gist, was divided. Twenty-five1
thousand ballots were cast, which is
about four-fifths of the average vote
in the three past Congressional elections.
Congressman-elect Foss is a promI

M FRIEND OF LEPERS.
Wk Father Conrady In Reported to Be
Dying.
Rev. Father %.anvbert Louis Conrady
is dying of leprosy among the
leper colony near Canton, China, according
to letter roceived.
iFather Conrady labored among the
lepers in the Wuwailan Islands for
eight years before going to China.
Before setting out for China he spent
two years lecturing in the United
Suites raising about $30,000 for his
project.
He bought an island in the river
sixty miles from Canton, transported
there 500 lepers and built them
shelters. This took $10,000 of the
money, and from the remainder he
had an income of $1,000 a year.
As he was physician, nurse, attendant,
office force and executive
head for the colony, and as food cost
only three cents a day for each person.
he was in a fair way to carry
his great burden.

Tho Calhoun Advance says: "An
unusual sight which created considerable
inquiry and comment on our
streets this week was several loads
of dry peppers grown and prepared
tor shipment to Baltimore, by Mr.
J. E. Wannamaker, who planted several
acres last year as an experiment.
Mr. Wannamaker says he- is pleased
with the experiment, the crop having
made him as much money per
acre as his cotton crop. He will
plant pepper again this season."

TOOK PLACE OF PLOW
DYNAMITE USED TO BREAK UP
PLANTING LAND.
t
Eight Hundred Charges of the Explosive
Buried in the Earth and
Thi?n
The Spartanburg Journal says J.
Henry Caldwell, a farmer living in
the Ardella section of that county,
four miles from Spartanburg, Tuesday
afternoon broke up an acre of
land with eight hundred charges of
dynamite, the explosive being used
for breaking the land for cultivation
instead of the plow. Mr. Caldwell
claims that blasting land with dynamite
is the best method for subsoiling.
and that it can be done more
cheaply than with a plow and hired
help.
The n.ethod employed by Mr. Caldwell
is unique and unheard of in
-the coumy and the result will be
watched with interest by many farmers
in the state. Dynamite, one of
the most powerful explosives known.
Is used extensively in blasting rock,
mining, sinking battleships, railroad
engineering, blowing up stumps n
fields, etc., but never has it been
tested in breaking laud for cultivation.
Sometime ago, Mr. Caldwell, who
is of an orintnal turn of inind, decided
that land could be broken with
dynamite charges and in order to
put his idea to a test he buried a
stick of dynamite in the earth and
touched ofT the fuse. The explosion
that followed literally tore up the
earth. He argued that if one charge
of the explosive would losen up the
earth in such a manner that a whole
acre field could be easily broken in
the same way.
Tuesday morning Mr. Caldwell set
bis dynamite sticks in an acre field,
burying each stick far down in the
soil. When the work had been completed
he notified his farmer friends
and several citizens of the city that
he Intended to blow tip an acre
field that afternoon. The news pass- i
vont/)1? at- -
me county and there
was a large crowd on hand to witness
the novel method of preparing farming
land for cultivation.
llUNU THEM.
Two are Lynched For Part in Jail
Delivery.
*it Marion, Ark., Hob Austin and
Charles Richardson, negroes, wt?ie '
lynched at an early hour Friday
morning in the court house square
by a mob of 300 citizens with ui-j
leg and abetting a jail delivery that
occurred there Monday night. !
Richardson was arrested in Memphis
and while on the way to the
local jail a mob overpowered SI:,1, iff
Lewis and secured the prisoner He
confessed to complicity in ailing '
the escape of the prisoners and implicated
Bob Austin. The latter war
immediately apprehended and it
J looked as if the trembling prisoners
would be hanged on the spot. Cool- |
er heads prevailed and the two men
were given over to the sheriff.
At three o'clcok Friday morning
a mob quietly formed and marched
to the jail. The negroes were secured (
and hanged to a tree In front of the
court house. The mob was orderly
and went about its work in a business-like
fashion.
The l>odies of the victims were
cut down at seven o'clock Friday '
morning and were turned over to
the negro friends for burial.

When nml Where It Can be Seen
to llest Advantage
The comet is still far away but
is faintly visible with a good opera
irluoo 1 ? ? * - "*
n.uao 111 me wuHi atier sunset and is
rapidly growing brighter. It will
probably be visible to the nackcd
eye by the middle of April, but It
will then be in the morning sky and
one must look for it in the east about
two hours before sunrise. On May
I 1 th<e comet will pass directly between
the earth and the sun and will
be only 13,000,01)0 miles from the
earth. This will l>e its closest approach
to the earth and after this
date the comet will move rapidly
away from the earth and sun and
will soon be lost to view. On account
of its rapid motion it will be seen
in the west again in the evening from
May 20 until the early part of Juno,
when it will fade rapidly as it hastens
onward along its outward path.
'For some days l>efore and after
May 18, if the prognostications of
astromcmers are correct, the comet
will he a magnificent object. Its
head is already over 11)0,000 miles
in diameter and its tail is more than
5,000,000 miles in length and constantly
growing. Without doubt the
brilliant tail will extend fully onethird
the distance from the horizon
to the zenith during its close approach
to the earth, and the earth
may be enveloped in the tail as it
sweeps past us on the 18th of May,
imt as a comet's tail is exceedingly
flimsy, being nothing more than tiny
particles of gas or flecks of dust, its
visit to us will cause us no inconvenience.
On April 4 the comet may be seen
in the morning in the east It will
rise at about 5 o'clcok.
On April 1 6 it will rise at 4 a. m.
On April 24 it rises at 3.30 a. m.
On May 14 It rises at 3 a. m.
After May 20 it will be aeon in
the west after sunset.
On May 20 it sets at 7.45 p. m.
On May 25 it 9> ts at 10.30 p. m.
On May 30 it sets at 10 p. m.
After the 1st of June the comet
will be faint and will soon disappear
from sight.
Mr. Ballinger thinks the coal will
last 7000 years. All the more reason
why Uncle Sam should get a
good stiff price for it.
