aud sensations.
Some six mouths ago, you remem
ber. the Alliance-Sub-treasurites
were claiming the earth; and at the!
war dances they held high aud in
glee danced around the imaginary
scalp of Zebulou Vance, of North
Carolina. But things have changed
and recently the old Senator was
heard to remark that "the horse thttt
pulled the plow should get the fod
der." That is Democracy and good
politics combined.
In the letter from Hampshire thi
week our correspondent sends us
Christmas present that we appreclat
as much as any we expect to get; an
that is the good will, the friendship
aud the blessings of a Christian man
We wish in return for him that hi
already long life may yet be length
ened many years, and that peaco an
Dlentv may always be his, and that
he may at all times be surrounded by
aud fael the comfort of such friend
as he is to us.
If Mr. Gardner can be made to
fully appreciate ihe interest his hug
me tight and kiss me quick letters
have aroused in the graud old Vol
unteer State, we do not believe he
would coldly and Inconsiderately
keop us all waiting until next April
to read the answer he will make to
the beautiful woman he has bo
cruelly treated. Mr. Gardner had
better be careful how he toys with
the patience of au outraged public.
It is bad enough in him to treat with
silent contempt the pleadings of his
broken-hearted wife, but if he un
dertakes to ignore the rights of all
our wives, he will surely hear a dull
sickening thud. Mr. Gardner must
talk, aud talk quick. This suspense
is terrible!
From the rising of the curtain un
til the going down of the same, the
large audience at the Opera House
to hear Gov. Taylor,,was in a broad
smile. Their faces were so set with
laughter that they could not get
them straight even when moved to
pity by some sweet story he would
tell, or moved to tears by the woful
fate of a pardon begging convict
father. Bob Taylor is great. He is s
great speaker, a great lecturer, i
great orator, a great humorist, t
great actor, a great mimic; a big
b'aiued, tender-hearted, lovable,
sympathetic, man of the paople
He may not have the bull dog
tenacity of Andrew Jacksou; or the
learning of Webster, or the acumen
of Jefferson; but he Is great among
the people. And the man who car
ries about with him a love for the
neonle and the love of the people, is
K -
no ordinary man.
The Democrat ic party is In more
danger four years from now from dis
gruntled office-seekers, than from
auy other cause or source or enemy
Never in the history of the country
have there been so many men seek
ing office; and for that matter, never
has there been so many seeking
private employment. This is not the
fault of the people, it in their misfor
tune. The fault lies with the Re
publican party, which, by its partial
laws and class legislation has
brought poverty and idleness upon
the many while it was building up
colossal fortunes for the few. But
what we started to say is, that there
are two evils to be avoided. Our
rinvernor and Senators aud Con
gressmen must not weary in well
doing; they are the servants of the
people, aud must not forget it; they
must be faithful and uutiring and
patient in serving their constituents
ml see kin emolovment for all who
ask. The people are simply asking
a return for favors already bestowed;
they elected these men to office, and
any impatience or proud contumely
Id he very ungrateful, to say the
ipaatnfir. On the other hand, when
these officials have done the very
best they can, then those who are
disappointed mnst not chafe under
it they should be philosophers, not
sore heads. A man who will kick
vtXmaelf out of the party because he
-Aflai-geJ an office, is very man who
it entitled to an office. It will be
lutely impossible for every man

The latest Nashville sensation Is a
most unfortunate afiair indeed. The
bill of complaint does not show it,
hut it hn. been the talk about Nash
ville for some time, and in Columbia
as well, that it was a very sad case of
too much mother-in-law. However
this may be, and whatever may be
said about her frivolity and wine
drinking and ultra fashionahieneBS,
no chivalrlc man with a heart in the
right place, can read the patient,
piteous, pleading letters of the de
serted wife, without feeling a deep
sympathy and tender pity for the
cultured, beautiful, forsaken and un
happy woman. What her offense
was we do not know. What Mr.
Gardner's answer will set forth we
cannot telL But we cannot imagine
ntrfhimr that would lustify the
cowardly, cruel and Inhuman man
no..r hia retaliation. Whatever u
was, as she Bays in one of her letters,
he should at least "have been a man
and told her so." It was mean in
Kim in anont AWAV f TOttl her aS 116
did. and it was cruel and inhuman In
him never to tell her the reason wny.
Her young life was too much given
to fashion and society and show,
But that was the fault of a worldly
mother, not hers, and in leaving this
roof she got a no less sympathetic
nd denervinir husband. We have
always believed and we believe now,
that Miss Saidie Polk Fall ana Mrs
Saidie Polk Gardner, has been "more
a:nn.si onainat than sinning." A
young woman reared by a fashion'
able, worldly mother, ana men weu
ded to an unforgiving, cruel husband
is more to be pitied than condemned
The sad accident at Knoxville
whereby young Powell was killed by
a pistol in the hands of W. J. wnit
thorne, Jr., is pathetic beyond the
power of words to express. aoi
Tm the mother of the dead Btudent
will experience more poignant grief
than the gentle boy who was the
innocent cause of the tragedy. The
stances show that. he could
not by any possibility be to blame
even for carelessness, but this will
nnt soothe his deep distress. Time
alone can assuage his anguisn, out
. 1 x
whatever sympathy can do to relieve
his distress will be his in profoundest
measure. A purer, gentler, manlier
vouth than he the State does not
, fr.i w has everv element of
nromise. both of mind and character
and the future has nothing too bright
for his merits. It does seem hard
that such a life should be darkened
almost upon its threshold by this
overwhelming calamity. Time alone
will lift the shadow and bring good
out. of what now seems measureless
disaster.
The Herald sincerely regrets the
oal affliction that saddest of all
aftiiAtinnn that has overtaken Mr
W. o. Withersooon. Differing wide
ly with Mr. Witherspoon in ou
political principles, as we have, ou
personal relations all the while have
been pleasant; had they been other
wise, we could not in such an hour as
this withhold our teuderest eympa
thies. We indulge the hope that his
mind's troubles will be as temporary
as they are purely Imaginary, and
that under the careful aud intelligent
treatment he will receive at th
navliim he will be quickly and
permanently restored.
''Thr Urand Daughter of President
Polk" makes a more or less attrac
tive head line, but we beg to suggest
to some of our contemporaries tha
they should be a little more accurate
about somethings. President Polk
was never blessed with a child, and
it is not very likely, therefore, that
he ever had a grand-child. Not a
drop of President Polks blood courses
in Mrs. Sadie Polk Gardner's viens.
Neither Mrs. Gardner nor Mrs. Gard
ner's mother are related in the moat
remote degree to the late President
Polk. It is time the country was un
standing this.
The decision by the courts of the
Nebraska election caBe settles the
complexion of the nat United
States Senate ami makes it Demo

Tne witlings of the press have been
accustomed to make the size of
Phicairo Christmas gifts accord with
the mythical proportions of tbe feet

of inanity arose the story that one
Chicago maiden, who had bung up
her stocking, pulled a grand piano
out of the heel of it on Christmas
morning. But Mr. P. D. Armour in
making his Christmas offering to
Chicago this year has outdone the
exaggerative abilities of the para
grapbers.- He has given a magnifi

Kit Sunday's dawn will usher into
the world the day of the year the most
observed Christmas, the universal
festal day. . To its coming the little ones
have been eagerly looking forward for
weeks. To them It is still a glad reality
and Santa Clans has not yet become to
them a dream of the past. They wui
haDg up their little stockings and go to
bed Christmas Eve with tne serene
faith that the Christmas dawn will find
them full to overflowing with. good
things such as only Old Santa knows
how to select. It is a time of glad re
joicing all over the civilized world, but
to many, whose childhood ldois nave
been shattered in the battle or lire, ana
who have lived through many Christ
mases to find their cup of sorrow scarce
ly less full than at other periods of the
year whose struggle tor existence and
whose contract with the stern realities
of life has left them little time or Incli
nation for Antnvment it will bring lit
tle of pleasure, except it be the satisfac
tion of seeing others happy. As it is a
time of joy and rejoicing, it should be
.timnnflmrltv. Let those who are
warmly clad and have good and com
fortable homes, remember, as they sit
down to their sumptuous Christmas
dinners, that right here in Columbia
perhaps under the Bhadow or tneir own
eleeant homes are deserving oDjecw
of charitv. Christmas is a time of giv
ing and receiving. It not tne ODjects
of e-ivine be confined to those from
whom you expect to receive, dui maae
clad the hearts and homes of those who
o- sKIa tn civs. "The greatest of
these is charity."
With Christmas also comes a season
of social gaieties. Ho aouot auriug
the holidays there will be several ger-
A word In regard to the social
obligations of the society young men ot
Columbia will not, I believe, oe amiss.
It is a fact well known that In every
town that is large enough for society to
hoiiiMaitnr riaasified. there are, of
course, in the upper circles, very promi
nent favorites, as there are also, in tne
amo oiroiA thnoA who receive very lit
tle attention far less than 13 their due.
In Columbia these are called "Jonahs.
It is an unjust discrimination, but has
arisen, probably from the fact that there
is a plentltude ot young ladies ana
scarcity of young men. Nevertheless,
the young men are under social obliga
tions to all the young ladies, ana tney
.nnhiiintinniinf which many of the
young men are forgetful or indiflerent,
The former is the more charitable view.
Tha nnnHllft of HOIT1S Of the TOUHg 0160
in this respect is the talk ot their town.
Let this be remedied during tue holi
days. Give every young lady an oppor
tunity to attend the social affairs of the
holidays.
Perhaps no attraction at the Opera

a larger, more enthusiastic and appre-
than that which
assembled there Thursday night Dec
15, to hear ex-Gov. Bob Taylor in his

to Music at the close, the audience

so long among the Goober-grabbera of

DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. m
K
M. Powell Acchlently Killed by XV.
Whltlhonie, Jr.
Knoxville. Dec. 20. A deplorable
accident happened at the State Uni
versity this tveu ing shortly alter 5
o'clocK. It. M, Powell, a student
from near Springfield, Bobertson
County, was shot aud instantly killed
by W. J. Woitiliojne, Jr., of Coluni
hia. Tne shooting Was purely acci
dental, aud resulted from handling
tbe deadly "unloaded" pistol.
Powell aud his rooui-mate, R. L.
Woodward, had spent the atieruoon
nacking their uuuks and getting
real I v to leave for their homes at 4
o'clock to-u.orrow morning. They
were y.iiug home to siehd the holi
days with home-folks. Powell bad
his truuk all iu order. Iu the tray
lav a revolver. The boys were en
gaged iu conversation, waitiug tor the
sui per tell, when Whitlhorue entered
their room. He roomed just acroos
tun ha 1 and all were good friends
and neighbors.
When Whitthorne enfered the
room the Miuversat ion drifted to the
nuhiect of revolvers. Woodward
took his from his iruuk aud handed
it to Whitthorne to examine. The
pistol was "hard ou the trigger."
Powell said his worked all right aud
took it from his trunk He suapped
it several times aud handed it to
Whitthorne to try. He banded the
pistol to Whitthorne butt foremost,
the barrel being in his baud aud
noiuting towards himself. He told
Whitthorne to see how easy it was on
the trigger. Whitthorne took hold
of die pistol aud snapped it.
The hammer came down and there
was a loud report. Powell threw hi
hands to bis breast, staggered to nia
feet and said, "I am shot." His hor
rifled companious rushed to his as
sistance and laid him on the bed, and
one rau for a doctor. Powell never
spoke again and was dead iu a few
secouds. The ball passed throueh or
near the heart aud was from a No. 38
bore.
Whitthorne Is greatly distressed by
the accident, lie Bays be saw Pow
ell suap the pistol aud did not think
for a moment that it was loaded. All
the students and faculty are greatly
grieved over the anair. Powell was
about 19 vearnlof age and a bright,
popular boy. Whiithorne is of about
the same age and is alho popular
He is a son of Hon. W. J. Whit
thorne, Senator-elect from Maurj
County.
An inquest was held over the body,
but nothing at variance with tbe
aoove account was brought out. Jt
was one of those unfortunate and sad
aecidents that so often happen from
handling "unloaded pistols." Whit
thorne is terribly grieved. It should
be stated that the evidence before the
Coroner's jury showed that all the
cartridges had been removed but one,
and the pistol had been snapped un
til this was in place just ready to be
fired bv puliiug the trigger. The
boys thought all the cartridges had
been removed. They had recently
bought the pistols, and said they did
not know just how to work them.

After Phymlciana Failed, Hood'
Smrsaparilla Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joy when Hood's Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis?
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
J?ead the following from grateful parents ;
To C, I. Hood & Co,, Lowell. Mass, i
"W think Hood's Bariaparilla is the most
valuable medicine on the market for blood and
kiu diseases. Our two children suffered terri
bly with the
Worst Form of Eczema
for two years. We had three physicians ia
that time, but neither of them succeeded tn
curing them or even in riving them a little
relief. At last we tried Hood's Sarsaparilla
and in a month both children were per
fectly cured. We recommend
Hood's Sarsaparilla
as a standard family medicine, and would not
be without it." Mk. and Mas. M. U. Holxjch,

Sadie Polk Fall, Wu a Reign

Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 19. A sen
sational divorce suit that has been
anticipated for months, was begun by
tbe liiiug of a bill here this afternoon.
Mrs. Badie Polk Fall Gardner is the
plaintiff, and she seeko absolute dl

taches his property to secure alimo
ny. Matt Gardner la probably the
wealthiest young man iu the toouth
He not only krowe how to make, but
has the facility tor saving, tie is re
ported to be worth half a million,
Mrs. Gardner, as Sadie Poik Fall, was
for years a social leader, auct ac
kuowledured to be the beauty of the
city. Their marriage, in May, 1891,
was a great social event, and society
was shocked to hear of their separa
tion a few months later, bmce then
tbe public has been waiting the filing
of divorce proceedings, to learn the
cause of separation.
Mr. Gardner alleges that she was
cruelly deserted without cause. The
bill i very long. It opens by say
iug she was 24 aud Mr. Garduer i0
whea they were married, May 12,
18x1. Tney bad been acquaiuted for
years. For about five years before
their marriage he was constant iu
his visits and unremitting in his at
tentions. He professed affection. It
was reciprocated. He proposed mar
riage. She accepted him. They be
came engaged and the wedding day
was fixed. Thereafter lie became ill
and was confined to bis room. At
this time he expressed the deepest
love aud teuderest devotion. He
wrote letters, which are given in de
tail. Iu oue addressed to Mrs. G. W.
Fall, he apologizes for rudeness to
her guests, and says: 4 1 do it ou ac
couutofthe great love I have for
Sadie, whom I love better than auy
oi.e ehe iu this world, and because
you are Sadie's mother I never
want or intend to do anylhiug wil
fully that will make her as uubappy
as 1 fouud her this morning."
Iu a letter addresser to "My pre
cious little darling" he says: "1
swear I love you, and you aloue, aud
to mrtke me always love you I ask
you now to believe iu me aud trust
me always aud at all times. Look to
me for auvice aud counsel, aud trust
me for your guidance iu all matters,
for I have provtn to the world and
to men that my judgment is good iu
aii matters. Liouk up to iue aud be
proud of iue, lor I tliiuk I am worthy
of it and 1 romii.e, by the aid of God,
to make you always feel proud that
vou bear the name of Mrs. M. M.
Gtirdutr."
HW Little IVt rnen.
In another, "To my precious on?, '
he speaks ot nig "little pet," and says:
"My d&rlinij I could take you iu my
arms if you were bere and print such
a loviug kis onrtnose pretty red iips
of youre. Be satisfied with my loye,
my little pet. No money in this
world could buy the love I have for

VUUt - A V a uvuvuv uva a-'uaw.
And further on : "Don't leave
race track to-morrow until 'after
crowd has gone. I don't care to
tbe risk with you. Promise me
the
the
run
not
to take but one glass of wine to-morrow,
and tbt-n don't go without a
chaperone. People tala so much. 1
want you, Bruce aud Klla to go out
with me Mouday or Tuesday, aud
then we will have a quart. What
say you? Come out Wednesday at 3
p. in. and bring your mother to cele
brate my 35th birth-day and I will
open two bottles with plenty of ice."
Mr. Gardner recovered and they
married on the 12th day of May, 1891,
at the Polk Place, Nashville, Tenn.,
where her parents lived. They de
parted from Nashville on an ex
teuded wedding tour by way of Cin
cinnati, Niagara, New York aud oth
er places.
Iu a letter to Mrs. Fall, dated Cin
cinnati, he says: "I never kuew
Sadie as I now know her. She to
me is an angel She is so sweet, kind
and considerate, and when a few
times 1 have felt a little badly she
came around my bed like some min
istering angel. No wonder it was so
hard for you to give her up. I can
now see aud appreciate the feeling. I
could never give her up. She fills
my eye, heart and life completely,
aud were I asked to change her I could
not make one single chauee."
They arrived in New York in a
few days. Tuey te'.ected, and Mr.
Gardner purchased furniture for
their home, a place in JNahyille,
Tenn. He iwho purchased
to her an elegant carriage
nefs to match, all ablaze
aud gave
with har
witb her
monogram. -
Ou their return to Nashville they
went to the Polk place, while Lyn
wood, Gardner's place, was being pre
pared. They were separated but
t ice.
Mr. Gardner's health became so
bad tbat lie, in October, had to go to
Dr. Brigg's private infirmary. They
parted tenderly and with affection.
Some days after Mr. Gardner went to
the infirmary, the obtaiued per
mission through Dr. Briggs to go
with tome muiual friends ou a brief
visit to New York. Dr. Briggs said
he thought it was better f'r both of
them that fhe should. On ber re
turn she telephoned Mr. Garduer,
and was told by him that his health
was very bad and that he would see
her as soon as be could. After the
Interview at the telephone aud ou
the same day, complainant i repared
a dinner for him at the infirmary.
Tne servant returned with the din
tier aud tbe information tbat Mr.
Gardner was theu dining with bis
sister, Mrs. Buckner, who resided
almost within a btoae's throw of the
Polk place.
Monday the next day. fhe went to
the office of Dr. Brig, on Un on
street, and demanded to know what
was the matter and to ee her hus
band. He told her that Mr. Gaidoer
was not happy, that he would not see
her, that he said he had lost liis love
aud faMcli.ation for her, that be took
all the blame on himself, hut would
not live with her. While she aud
Dr. Briggs were engaged in this con
versation, the defendant opened the
door of au adjoining room, and en
tered unexpectedly. Exclaiming,
"Oh, Mr. Gardner," she quickly ap
proached to greet him. Without
uttering a word he threw up his
hands as if warning her away, backed
quickly though the door h had
entered, aud disappearing with Dr.
Brigss, the door was closed behind
thrin.
A Wife's tetter.
.She has since written numerous
letters, beseeching him to graut an
interview, aud fiuaily oue of theBo
was returned unanswered. On Xew
Year's Day, 1892, Bhe wrote him the
following letter:
"Linwood, tbe first day of the new

No answer wa ever received. He
constautly appears iu public at the
theaters, club, race courses and other
places of amusement lit tuis city

says, iua light-hearted and joyous

such humiliating, cruel and gross
indignities as to render her couditiou
intolerable and forced her to live
apart from him.
Iter Last Appeal.
Finally, in September. 1892. she
wrote him as follows:

She allages that he is worth $"00,

declares that the defendant ha re
