There was nothing iu the Re
publican County Convention here
last week to attract the attention
of the casual observer in a spec
ial manner. Tin; delegates came
to town in good time, exchanged
notes on the condition of the
growing crops in tlie various
parts of the county, tool; dinner
at the Washington House, spout
an hour or so iu the Court 1 louse
planning a ticket in the lield, and,
as the shadows began to length
en, returned to their homes.
It was not until the daily pa
pers from Philadelphia reached
us next day that we were aware
that anything unusual had hap
pened. Their reports are so
funny that we know the delegates
themselves as well as the rest of
our readers will enjoy reading
them.
Here is the way the dispatch
to the North American puts it:
"Quay's followers, whohuvedie
tated the policy of the1 party iu
Fulton county for years, were
put to rout to-day in the Repub
lican County Convention. After
a bitter light, Professor B. N.
Palmer, anti-Quay, was elected
county chairman over Dr. A. D.
Dalboy, Quay.
"M. K, Nha finer, who had uo
opposition for District Attorney,
was the only Quayite nominated.
"Samuel A. Nesbit, the most
vigorous opponent of the machine
in the county, was nominated for
Assembly; Thomas H. Stevens,
for Associate Judge, and C. II. K.
Pluiuinor for Jury Commissioner.
The Philadelphia Impure says:
"The convention was a harmo
nious one notwithstanding the
fact that, t here was a hot fight be
tween Nr. A. !). Dalboy and It. N.
Palmer, for. county chairman.
Palmer won."
This is the way the Record
puts it:
"It had been generally conced
ed that N. B. Hanks, au uuti
Qunyito, would be named for As
sembly by the Republican conven
tion, but when the convention met
Samuel A. Nesbit, of this place,,
was nominated. When asked if
he was Quay or anti-Quay he said
he didn't know.
"Thomas H. Stevens, au anti
Quayite, was named for Associ
ate Judge, without opposition.
The light for county chairman
was bitter. Dr. A. D. Dalbey, a
Quayite of this place, had uo op
position until to-day, when the
Anl'rs named Professor 15. N.
Palmer, an anti-Quayite of Bel
fast, who was elected by a small
majority. Quay 's name was not
ouce nientioucd iu the convention
nor in the resolutions."
The Times says;
"The worst political mix-up
ever seen in Fulton county was
gone through with by the Repub
licans at their convention. It
had been generally conceded
that N. B. Hanks, au auti-Quayite
would b3 named fortho Assembly,
but when the conveution met the
name of Samuel A. Nesbit, of
this place, was sprung, and he
was nominated.
"When asked if lie was Quay
or anti-Quay he said he "didn't
know what he was."
"Thomas U.Stevens,auti-Quay-
ite, was named for associate judge
without opposition.
"The light for county chairman
has made bad blood. Dr. A. D.
Dalbey, Quayite, of this place
had no opposition uutil to-day,
when the "antis" sprung Profes
sor B. N. Palmer, of Belfast, who
was selected bya small majority.
"Quay's name was not onco
mentioned in the convention nor
in the resolutions. It was con
trolled entirely by F.x-SenatorW.

with
and died
Almost immediately after leav
ing the "Coldeu Cute" on our
voyage of 4-ight thousand miles
across the Pacific, the motion of
the vessel made me feel sick, and
"the longer the worse." It was
about four days before I began
to feel any better. About the
third day, I felt so sick that I
don't think I should have tried to
get out of my buuk if I had known
the vessel was sinking. Von
may have read of sea sickness, or
heard those tell who Imve had it.
Still you know nothing about it,
and you never will till you have
it; and then after you get well
you will never be real happy, for
the thought will never leave you
that you may not some time have
to experience it agaiu.
All the time the sea-sickness
lasts, the stomach will not retain
a mouthful of food; and whim you
desist from eating anything for a
while, it seems to try to turn it
self inside out every few minutes
as though delighting in adding to
your misery. The thought of
our return trip across the ocean
is sufficient to cure the worst at
tack of homesickness.
After plowing ahead through
tho seemingly oxpanseless ocean
for eighteen days, we reached
Honolulu, the capital of Uncle
Sam's recently acquired terri
tory iu the Pacific
It is two thousand six-hundred
miles out from Sau Francisco,
and here wo stop for coal. It is
the finest town that 1 have been
in. in all my travels- not so much
so on account of the business
done hero us the delightful cli
mate, the attractiveness of the
surrouudings, and the abundance
of tropical fruits. It seems to
bo a realization of one's ideas of
au earthy paradise. After re
maining at Honolulu about a
week we set sail for Manila. To
add to my misfortune, the day
we left, I took' measles, and there
were just enough of them to last
mo till we reached Manila nearly
a month later. You may imag
ine how glad I was to get off the
boat. It seemed a real luxury to
be able to tread the earth again.
Well, if it is not one thing it is
another. I had scarcely had
time to congratulate myself that
I was rid of sea-sickness and
measles, when orders were giv
en, "Make ready for the liriug
line" that meant, "Make ready
to go out and give the Filipinos a
chance to shoot at you."
You may have read how impa
tient a lot of boys are to get into
battle, how orders to get ready
for action are received with
shouts of applause, and how
brave they feel as they bare their
breasts to tho aim of the enemy.
Dou't,you, believe the half of that!
Talk about your sea-sickuess.
Talk about your measles. 'Those
are trilling incidents wheu com
pared with the attack of palpita
tion of the heart that follows
one's first order into battle.
Then is no disguising the fact
that most people are anxious to
live as long as they can. Tho
soldier naturally thinks of the
time when ho will he permitted
to return to his home and friends
there is possibly a lurkiug am
bition that opportunity may come
for promotion or honorable dis
tinction, and yet as ho outers a
battle tho thought comes to him,
"Many men are likely to lose
their lives on this field I may bo
ouo of them."
Do such thoughts us these at
such times indicate cowardice?
Not by any means. The bravest
man is the man who vividly
realizes the danger -but who
dares to go forward in the face of
that known danger, wheu culled
to do so iu tho discharge of duty.
Fortunately tho palpitation
does not last long. When tho
battle opens, tho tirst volley has
boon received, some of your com
rades have been hurt killed per
haps you forget all about danger
and think only about avenging
the death of your comrades -you
feel that you could leave your
ranks and go out and fight, the
whole opposing force single
handed. Then, too, one becomes
to a certain extent accustomed to j
danger. After nuchas been shot i
at a few times and misled, fear
leaves hinnhe unconsciously feels j
that lie was not created to be kill- ;
ed by a bullet or maimed by an ;
exploding shell. It, does not, of!
course, always follow that his
conclusions are correct.

.Marriane Statistics (Cleaned From
the License Dncttct.
The license docket in the Pro
thonotary's oflice shows that
eighty couples were married in
this county during the year end

Of tho men. there is 1 plasterer,
I attorney, " carpenters, I teach

conductors, :! merchants, 1 engi

1 steam shovel craues
man, 17 laborers, and fanners.
( )f the ladies, there is 1 seam
stress, 1 postmistress. L' teach
ers, and sesenty six housekeep
ers that is, in most cases, they
are understood as assisting in the
housework- at home.
Of the Nl couples, ldofthe llien
were widowers; and l of the wo
men, widows. lint two of the
couples are colored people.
Three of the men were under
L'h years of age, and twenty five
over liO; while e'ghtooll of the wo

Deaths From I.iKhtnlii-;,
The sad fate of Master Frank
Disert, who was st ruck' and killed
by lightning in Chanibersbiirg
recently, will bo an addition to
the renrds of the fata! strokes of
liiiKt. The U. S. Weather Bureau
records, making allowance for
reports not received, estimates
that in lspl no less than l.ei'O
persons were inoreor lessserious
ly injured by lightningiu the Unit
ed Slates, and that about three
eight lis of them are killed u fright.
Of the fatal cases of I'.KM about
oMo-fcuth,ri(i,ure credited to I 'enn
sylvaaia, 11 to Illinois, liltoOhio,
'2 to Indiaua, "21 to Minnesota
and only l';! to New York.
Professor Alfred .). Henry, who
lias digested and arranged the
Oovern meut's dataon this subject,
declares that when death results
from lightning, it usually occurs
immediately.
Nearly one half of the lightning
strokes reported occur out iu the
open, I per cent in houses, 11
percent under trees and !l pel
cent in barns. It is generally
conceded that seeking shelter un
der the brunches of a tree is about
the riskiest possible proceeding
duriuga thunderstorm. 1 low-ever,
even in a house one should avoid
approaching too closely toau open
window or door. It is better to
sit or stand near the center of a
room. Those who are out of
doors should keep away from
wire fences as well as trees.
The wire clothesline was the
cause of at least a dozen deaths
last year. That number of wo
men were struck by lightning
and killed while removingclothiiig
from the line. Professor Henry
says that a wire clothesline ought
uever to be permitted to coino
within lifty feet of a dwelling.
M uch less should it be fastened
to one corner of thj' house, as
is commonly done. -Public ( (pinion.

'I'll FY HAD A CAKi: WALK.
A number of the colored people
of the Cove had a cake walk down
at John Walker's last Wednesday
night. At a cake walk each fel
low participating pays ten cents.
After us many tickets are sold as
there are persons willing to pur
chase, each one gets his girl, and
they all inarch by pairs around in
a circle to music. Some jioint in
the circle is marked by a flag, or
otherwise, ntid whoever happen
to be at that jmiut at the end of a
certain number of minutes after
starting, takes the cake. There,
of course, is a timekeeper, who
slauds with open watch and an
nounces the time to halt.
White folks have been known
to indulge iu cake walks; but it
takes the colored people to get
fun out of it. Naturally fond of
music and dancing, this affords
au opportunity for them to in
dulge this fondness to its fullest
extent.
Jeweler Evans was engaged to
go down with his big Phono
graph and furnish the music.
John is a southern man, and says
he has seen many a hoe-down
amoug the southern darkies, but
the colored folks down the (Jove
could give their colored breth
rens of the south nine poiuts iu
tho game and win easily.
Every one is iu a most hilarious
mood, und when they become
thoroughly warmed up to the oc
cusion, give au exhibition that is
most comical. They can all
dauce. Who ever saw one that
could not? And the music well,
they don't want a funeral dirge.
The faster the better and every
motion of the body is iu perfect
time with the music.
O, well, we suppose t hey might
have been spending their time to
a better advantage; but they are
not interested to any great'Xtent
iu the grave questions that usual
ly occupy the attention of the so
cial circles of their white broth
ers. They care little to enter the
sharp competition necessary to
get a little more money than some
body else, that they in 113' hob-nob
with some ouo in a higher social
plane than themselves, or wear
more expensive clothing, or sur
pass their neighbor in show.
While wo would uot be understood
as catering to laziness, ignorance,
and dishonesty, yet it might be
well to remember that we white
people we who are educated
civilized christaiuized are not
practicing all the virtues taught
iu the (iood Book.
