“No, he knows I have done my
duty,’’ were the last words of the no
ble Hal C. Jones Jr., just before he
breathed his last at Decatur Tuesday
evening, having been asked if he had
any message to leave for his father.
Heroically braving death he had
stood at the post of duty from the
beginning of the yellow fever
scourge, administering to the wants
and sufferings of the sick and needy.
He thus followed his equally noble
companion, Hon. Clint C Lanier who
died at his post of duty a few days
before. To these men and their fel
low laborers,for the relief of distress
ed humanity, more than to the great
leaders of armies, is due the crown of
glory and an enduring monument in
the hearts of the people.
“Howe’er it be, it seems to me.
‘Tis ouly noble to be good.
Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood’.

too. He does not nap however, and
therein lies his success. It is a
valuable lesson for the Republicans
to learn.
(jive Us a Candidate.
It is late iu the campaign, but
Republicans demand a candidate for
Congress iu this District. It is out
of the question not to have a Repub
lican congressional candidate to vote
for this Presidential election.
If nothing is done and done quick
ly by the District authorities, let the
Republicans of the District follow
the lead of the Madison county Re
publicans in endorsing H. C. Bin
lord for congress, and place him on
he ticket.

is in Mr. Ingersoll’s heart at being snub
lied by the republican national commit
tee, and his eloquence scorned. The let
ter reads:
“I was exceeding glad when I heard
that you bad pulled through and had de
cided" to keep out of heaven for a few
years longer. If the national committee
was not composed of cranks, I should be
making some speeches in the republican
cause, and should be glad to do so. and
have the speeches interspersed with a
few songs by your club, or a few songs
interspersed with speeches. Yours until
death, or even after that.

Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 26.— [Spe
cial )—-South Jacksonville is now in an
uproar, and the people are Heeing from
Yellow Jack as badly as did the people at
the first of the epidemic. They have
had cases of “sickness” there for a fort
night, and several deaths have occurred
Although the city physicirns and the
medical bureau pronounced it yellow fe
ver, their home physicians said no; the
people believed it, and all were in fanc.e i
security. Yesterday their doctor owned
up that it was yellow fever, and to dav
a panic prevails. Several dozen families
have moved to Sweetwater, eight miles
out, and four car loads of goods have
been sent there. Another death in South
Jacksonville, Alexander Wood, greatly
increased the fear. The move is a foolish
one, as all the people there have been ex
posed for weeks, and now they are going
where medical aid will be hard to secure
in the event of sickness.
There have been reported twenty new
cases to-day.

which attracted a great deal of attention
was tried in the district court in this citv

sadness and romance. Several months

while apparently in a spasm of rage at

Blanchard hotel where they were board
ing, by cutting her throat with a knife.
He was lodged in jail, and in a short
time his wife obtained a divorce. He
was arraigned in court to have his case
investigated, and while he was on trial,
his wife was married to another man,
and a few moments after her marriage
appeared on the witness stand, attired
in her bridal costume, to testify against
her former husband, who had attempted
to take her life. McGowan was remand
ed to prison to wait final trial on charge
of insanity, which will set aside the
former charge of assault with intent to
murder.

reports having been called to Searcy

on the ground near the negro, when the
dog put his foot on the trigger, discharg
ing the gun and inflicting a serions
wound. This probably the only case on
record where a dog shot a negro, or any
one else.
