Death’s Doings—Bam Burned—Farmers In
Good Condition.
Choccolocco, Dec. 3.—(Special.)—This
morning Mrs. Betsy Elslon died very
suddenly of heart failure. She was well
when she retired for the night and this
morning at 5 o'clock was a corpse.
Also, Mr. William Simpson, who lives
near here, fell dead this morning while
a! work
Mr. Carrol had his barn burned last
n.ghf. lt was a small barn and not a
heavy loss. This is the second barn
burned in the last ten days in this neigh
borhood.
Our fanners are in good condition this
fail, as they are nearer out of debt, and
neaily all of them have plenty of meat
to do them.
Mr. Bob Johnston killed two hogs 11*4
months old which weighed 705 pounds,
w lilch Is an average of 352*4 pounds
apiece.
Cold Weather.
Huntington, W. Va., Dec. 4.—The cold
est weather of Ihe season was experi
enced here last night. John Sharp, a
painter, whose home was at New Mar
tinsville, Va.. was found frosen to death
on a hill two miles south of here. He had
been employed here for several months,
and was out late last night, when he was
probably overcome by the severe
weather.
\ A BOSTON SCANDAL.
A Young Lawyer and Mrs. Francis L. Higgin
• son Are Missing and Are Supposed to
Have Gone Abroad.
Boston, Dec. 4.—Mrs. Francis L. Hig
ginson, wife of the famous banker and
a social favorite, has forsaken her home
and family, leaving no word behind her.
She has been gone over two weeks. There
is also missing from the same social set
Mr. James W. Smith, a young lawyer.
Mrs. Higginson is within a few months
of 40 years of age, and the mother of four
children. Her husband is about ten
years her senior.
Smith is only 2G years of age. The two
have been friends In society for some
months past, and the young man's devo
tion to the matron has caused considera
ble comment.
Mrs. Higginson left here for New York
Saturday, saying that she intended tak
ing in the horse show, and that she would
be back in two or three days.
Smith went to New York two weeks
ago. He said he was going to meet his
mother, who resides at the Hotel Savoy
in New York, and that he would be back
on Thanksgiving day. This Is the last
definite information concerning him.
It is said that Smith met Mrs. Higgin
son in New York and attended the horse
show with her, and that both of them
stopped at the Waldorf at least a part
of the time. It is believed that Mrs. Hig
ginson and young Smith took passage on
the steamship Columbia for Genoa No
vember 23. Society is much wrought up
over the dual disappearance, and the
families of the principals are heart-bro
ken.
It is understood that the steamer Col
umbia will be met at Genoa by agents
of the Higginsons to determine whether
or not the belief is well founded.
It is not thought likely that an arrest
will be made if the couple should be
fbund. but the Higginsons wUl not say
what they propose to do.
Young Smith, it is said, had very little
money when he left home. Mrs. Higgin
son did not have any great amount of
ready cash with her. but she did have
some valuable jewelry. None of her
friends cnn account for her conduct ex
cept on the ground that she has become
mentally unbalanced.
GREENVILLE.
The Result of 1 he City Election—Democrats
Solid for Johnston.
Greenville, Dec. 3.—(Special Corre
spondence.)—At the city election held
here yesterday Dr. J. C. Kendrick was
elected mayor and Capt. R. Y. Porter,
John Grant, J. Lee" Long, Henry Lelch
ttn and Claude Hamilton, Esq., were
elected councilmon. These are all pro
gressive men, and will give the city a
good government for the next two years.
The Schubert quartette will be here on
the 6th instant to fill their engagement
with the Young Men’s Christian associa
tion, being one of the attractions secured
for their iyceum course this season.
Judge Zell Gaston of this city is pres
ident of the Alabama State Poultry and
Pet Stock association, and says that the
association will hold its first exhibition in
Montgomery from the 10th to the 13th in
stant, inclusive, and that it bids fair to
be a big success, as they have assurances
from a large number of poultrymen
from all parts of the country that they
will send their birds and pet stock., A
sufficient sum of money has been raised
to pay all premiums. Those wishing in
formation and premium lists can obtain*
the same by writing to the secretary,
Mr. G. F. W. Keynton, at Montgomery.
The majority of democrats here, re
gardless of their financial views, believe
the best thing for harmony is to nomi
nate Joe Johnston for governor. We are
glad to believe that the Advertiser and
Register have both lost their power to
further injure the party. About the best
thing they can do now to keep up the
fight would be to put up the editor of
the Register for governor and Frank
Glass for United States senator, and the
postmaster at Montgomery for congress.
They would come about as near winning
with this ticket as any they are apt to
name.

LEADING SOUTHERNERS
Express Their Views Upon the Effect of the
Atlanta Exposition Upon the South
and the Country at Large.
Baltimore, Md., Dec. 4.—Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary of the Interior; Post
master-General Wilson; Secretary ot the
Navy Herbert; Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Dr. C. W. Dabney; Hon.
John R. Proctor, president of the United
States civil seryice commission; Governor
Atkinson of Georgia; Ex-GovernjqEj
Northen; Mayor King of Atlanta; Presi
dent Collier of the exposition; ClatSc
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitu
tion; Editor Richardson of the Journal;
General Avery, South American commis
sioner of the Atlanta exposition, and
others contribute to this week's issue tif
the Manufacturers' Record their views
upon the effect of the Atlanta exposition
upon the south and the country at large,
and upon the continuation of this goAd
work through the proposed Baltimore
Southern exposition of 1897,
Secretary Smith points out how the At
lanta exposition has attracted the atten
tion of tlie country, and how a still larger
exposition at Baltimore would deeply im
press upon all sections the great oppor
tunities for investment in the south.
Secretary Herbert says; “The material
resources of the south, as shown by tli^
Atlanta exposition, are evert amazing to
a southern man. If Atlanta lias been1
able' to do so much, Baltimore, with its
500,000 people, ought to be able to carry
forward the work of southern develop
ment through an exposition on a still
larger scale.”
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Dr.
Dabney says:
“The cheap lands of the south, where
three crops can be raised in one year,
offer the finest opportunity opening in
the world at the present time for intel
ligent and industrious farmers. The po
litical and industrial conditions that have
rendered the southern people so indiffer
ent to immigration, and that have to a
certain extent kept other people from go
ing into that country, have passed away,
and an immediate invasion of the south
is just dawning. The Atlanta exposi
tion, coming as it did during a period of
hard times, is for the most part a bril
liant success. If it has failed in any point
it is not in securing more general and
enthusiastic co-operation ori the part of
the southern states, and it may not there
fore present the resources of the south
with that completeness which is desira
ble and which would have been possible
had all the southern states followed the
example of Georgia and Alabama, and
made the most of this magnificent oppor
tunity to make their riches known to the
world.”
thinks, will therefore afford the south a
great opportunity to make up whatever
may have been lacking in the Atlanta
exposition.
President Proctor of the civil service
commission says: “The time is approach
ing when the southern states will liegin
to export iron and rfianufacture cotton.
The exposition at Baltimore will be the
best opportunity hitherto afforded for
southern exhibits of minerals, because It
is in such easy reach of the class of men
most interested in such things."
Gen. I. W. Avery says: “We are enter
ing on a great era. In which the south
is at last coming to the front as a mighty
factor, and this section will look to the
Baltimore exposition to keep up Its evo
lution of material progress. Atlanta has
drawn the world's attention to the
south's claims and shown that the United
States Is developing immeasurable ca
pacities for the growth of International
trade supremacy, and to Baltimore be
longs the duty of carrying on this su
preme apotheosis of our long depressed
section so affluent In native wealth.”

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Diplomats Are Awaiting Fresh Instructions
Regarding the Admission of More
Ships to the Bosphorus.
London, Dec. 4.—A dispatch to the
Standard from Constantinople says that
the question of admission of additional
gunships Into the Bosphorus is in sus
pense and all diplomatic action in the
matter is at a complete standstill for
the moment. Some of the ambassadors
are still awaiting fresh Instructions from
their governments. All of the diplomats
are of the belief that the exercise of
stronger pressure by far than that which
has hitherto been brought to bear on the
porte will be necessary to induce the sul
tan to yield, and it is understood that
such action will be taken upon receipt of
replies of ambassadors of the powers.
The sultan has made a personal appeal
i to the Russian. Austrian, German and
French governments that they agree not
to press their demands, but without suc
cess.
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Strong Hostility to It Exhibited in the Par
liamentary Committee.
Paris, Dec. 4.—The nomination of a
parliamentary committee tor examine the
project of holding an exhibition in 1900
is commented upon by the newspapers in
very strong terms and an exciting de
bate on the matter ip the chamber of
deputies is expected. Three members of
the committee are hostile to the project,
five accept the proposition under strict
reservations, two stipulate that the ex
position shall be located on the left bank
of the Seine and one approves the pro
ject unreservedly. The debate in the
bureau prior to the nomination of the
committee showed that hostility to the
exposition was stronger than had been
expected.
Forcing Armenians to Lie.
Constantinople. Dec. 4.—M. Ptrovitch,
an Austrian subject, who was chief of
the local official tobacco Regie, has been
murdered while traveling in the Kharpot
district. The officials in Erzeroum, Bar
hut, Erlzinhlan and Bittlls continue to
force the Armenians, under threats of
renewed attacks, to sign addresses
thanking the porte for protection during
the recent disorders and praising the sul
tan's paternal rule. Several notables in
the Erzeroum district have been in like
manner compelled to telegraph to the pa
triarch demanding the recall of the bish
op in consequence of the latter's dis
patch to the Marquis of Salisbury in
dicating the deplorable situation.
According to the latest advices from
Kalserea, Asia Minor, sixty Armenians
are known to have been killed in the
massacre there on November 30.
iA dispatch from Zeitoun from a Turk
sh source says that delegates sent to
reat with the Armenians in regard to a
surrender were not received by the in
surgent leaders. It is stated that, the
latter released 400 captured troops, w’tth
the exception of nine, who, it Is alleged,
were murdered. A bloody and merciless
campaign against the Armenians in Zel
'jlouri Is expected.
Opinions of the Message.
Berlin, Dec. 4.—The Berlin evening
newspapers published articles comment
ing upon President Cleveland’s message.
Referring to the president's allusion to
Samoa and the insurance companies, the
Tageblatt calls attention to the fact that
it has always uttered warning against
the adoption of too sharp measures
against American insurance companies.
Those papers friendly to Germany's pol
icy in the colonies express hope that Ger
many will seize the occasion to obtain
sole control over Samoa.
The Vossiche Zeitung discusses the
message as Mr. Cleveland's swan song,
for it says he has no party behind him.
The Eressmige Zeitung says that the
Volks party will move in the reichstag
at the earliest possible moment the adop
tion of a temporary hill to protect Ger
mans who desire to form societies from
falling a prey to Prussian laws relating
to associations by which the socialist so
cietii s are closed.
The Cologne Gazette as the result of
inquiries in official circles reaffirmed
that cabinets and diplomats alike are
unanimous in insisting on the admission
of additional guardships into the Bos
phorus. It adds that nothing is known of
the rumored British ultimatum.
Mr. Bayard’s Speech.
London. Dec. 4.—The Hon. Thnmas
Bayard. United States ambassador, pre
sided at a dinner which was given this
evening in aid of a fund of the Locomo
tive Engineers’ Benevolent society. Mr.
Bayard was enthusiastically received
when be arose to address the assem
blage. He declared that he could say In
all sincerity that lie had never attended
n dinner In England with such warm
sympathy. There was no party there
who had national distinction. He dwelt
upon the international dependence of dif
ferent callings of society, accentuating
(lie indissoluble t.io of humanity the
world over and declaring that while par
ties and forms of government might be
useful, the sense of human brotherhood
was stronger and better than all else.
Tie would be glad, he said, if he could
be able to do anything to create a better
feeling among the different classes. If
the hand workers could realize the feel
ing of the brain workers toward them
it would make them the stronger and
better.
Several members of parliament and a
number of representatives of American
trade were present.
The Reichstag’s President.
Berlin, Dec. 4.—Herr Von Buol Beren
berg was re-elected president of the
reichstag today,-receiving 229 votes out

dent. He received T69 of the 290 votes

London. Dec. 4.—The Carlyle centenary

propriate speech.
German Socialists.
Berlin. Dec. 4.—In the reichstag noti
fication has been given of a demand for
urgency for a motion that the imprison
ed socialist deputies shall be liberated
during the present session. Seventy
SMimonses have been Issued for lead
in” socialists in Berlin for breaches of
laws regarding associations. Recent
raids supplied the evidence.
The Pope’s Contribution.
Rome, Dec. 4.—The Osservatore Ro
manous says the pope immediately on
learning of the robberies and massacres
of Armenians sent 50,000 ller to Monslg
lieur Azarian, Catholic Armenian pa
triarch at Constantinople, foi- the relief

wholesale /3ry goods establishments In
this city, are In financial difficulties, and
It Is said their creditors will force an as
signment. The liabilities are about $300.

head of the firm Is Warren Kennedy, the
present mayor of Toronto.
WITH THE FARMERS.
Jacksonville Republican: Calhoun Is
now raising her own corn and meat and
by all means should raise a sufficient
amount of wheat to make her own flour.
Eufaula Times: There were killed re
cently near Abbeville three hogs just
1 year old and from the same litter that
weighed 1427 pounds. How is that for a
hog county.
Oxford Enterpriser A heavy corn crop
should mean a heavier hog crop and
bigger herds of cattle on 1000 hills. The
corn crop should not be wasted or sold
for a song because it is large.
Florence Times: A reader of the Times
writes to us to urge all who come among
us to buy farms to avoid the poor lands
of the county. He Justly says it will pay
to buy the better lands even if they are
higher. He also makes the point that
an Immigrant buying poor land and
making a failure at farming deters oth
ers from buying.
Florence Times: Mr. Charles Goode
of the RogersvIHe neighborhood this
year laised four bales of cotton on four
acres of land. He also made about 2000
bushels of corn on fifty-live acres. This
is the kind of farming that pays. Mr.
Goode's way of farming is in striking
contrast with the farmer who tvants
from two to four acres on which to make
a bale.
Florence Times: We are informed 'by
Mr. Thurston H. Allen that he has just
closed a deal involving the sale of 10,000
acres of land In Colbert with Mr. A. D.
Hosterman of Springfield. O., whereby
the latter Is to colonize with good farm
ers the land so sold within one year from
the 1st of November. Mr. Hosterman Is
one of the best known developers In Ohio
and has heretofore located large colonies
In Virginia and Georgia. Mr. Allen is
much gratified at the consummation of
this important deal.
Florence Times: Mr. E. A. Von Friese
of this city is a farmer who on a limited
scalp has demonstrated In a most effec
tual manner the productiveness and val
ue of our lands. He brought to our of
fice Monday a lot of Immense turnips,
a portion of the fourth crop on the same
land. The first crop was corn, the next
two were potatoes and the fourth tur
nips. It doesn’t seem to us that the In
dustrious farmer in this part of the coun
try should have any trouble in getting
ahead.
Florence Times: Mr. A. C. Willett of
Ohio. Whose arrival we noted last week
to take possession of the 500 acres of land
he has recently purchased in Lauderdale,
will go quite largely into the stock rais
ing business, in which he has had much
experience. He brought with him a pair
of heavy draught Norman horses, two
roadsters, two yearling cattle and a pair
of Duroc Jersey (red) hogs, besides tur
keys and chickens of good stock. Mr.
Willett is the kind of a citizen we 'like
to see come among us.

quested to have prepared a bill for sub
mission to the legislature requesting the
commissioners of the revenue to list all
Confederate soldiers in their respective

Ewell camp of Williamsburg was read
asking the committee to do whateverwas

books from the public school book list.

pleted and would be turned over to the

Paris, Dec. 4.—An international sub
scription is about to be opened for a

council of the institute incited the move-'
ment. ■
Union Springs Herald: Were there
ever so many reports of safe robberies
as have been heard of recently? From
Opelika. Dothan. Birmingham and many
other places the accounts came last week.
In ihe southern part of the stale it seems
lha' a hand of safe blowers must have
been at work. It Is (irmly believed here
that some of our citizens only escaped
finding their safes blown open last week
by the carefulness of our local oflicers.

BAR-LOCK TYPEWRITER.
T - \
Writes every letter in sight of operator.
Does most of the work in writing AU
TOMATICALLY and yields in the time
thus saved additional work.
It acts as if It studied the convenience
of the operator at every turn, and there
by lightens his labor and renders him
capable of doing more.
It has a knack of keeping well and Is
always ready at critical or other timjs.
These are some of the reasons why it is
different from all other writing machines.
