It Was Only a Dream
Southern States are The Memory (National News Association) ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 12. Preparations have been completed for the appropriate observance of the Centenary of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, one of the most distinguished sons of this state and at one time Vice President of the Confederate States of America. The life history of Alexander Hamilton Stephens reads like a romance. One of the most remarkable features of his life was the fact that Stephens from Boyhood was extremely weak and delicate and in his later years was practically a confirmed invalid, but in spite of this tremendous handicap led an extremely active life, achieved fame as orator, politician, statesman, author and educator and maintained his high-pressure energy almost to the day of his death, at the age of seventy-one. Alexander Hamilton Stephens was born near Crawfordsville, Ga., February 11, 1812. His grandfather, Alexander Stephens, who settled in Pennsylvania in 1746 was in England an adherent of Prince Charles Edward. In this country he fought in the Indian war and under Washington in the French war and also distinguished himself by his bravery as a captain in the revolutionary army. After peace was declared he removed to Georgia. Young Alexander, who was left an orphan at the age of fifteen, was placed by his uncle, Chas. C. Mills, in the school of the Rev. Alexander Hamilton Webster at Washington, Wilkes county, from whom he took the middle name of Hamilton. In 1828 he was sent -to Franklin college at Athens, Ga., of tho State university, by the Presbyterian Educational society, repaying the money thus loaned him by teaching school after his graduation in 1832, on which occasion be took first honor. Even at that time his health was feeble and his spirit melancholy. On July 22, 183 4, he was admitted to the bar after only two months' study, passing a perfect examination. During the first year of his practice he earned $400 and he frugally lived on $6 a month. But soon his practice Increased and with it his income so that after a few years he was able to buy the old family homestead and later his famous Liberty Hall. He became active in politics and was elected State representative on a platform opposing nullification in 1836. 1837, 1838, 1839 and 1840. but declined further election in 1841. Elected to Congress. He was a delegate to the Southern THREE CLAIMS FILED Claim for $63.26 has been filed with the county clerk by Brown and com pany against the Paris Cloak and Suit company. W. S. Hart has filed claim against the estate of L. D. Commons for $4.60. Price and Lucas Cider and "Vinegar company has filed a claim against John B. Koorsen, Insolvent, for $13.07. The Spread of Species. One of the problems that confront the naturalist is that of accounting for the distribution of identical forms of life through widely separated localities. Investigation frequently shows that this has been accomplished in many ways that appear quite simple when once discovered, although one would hardly have thought of them. Some Interesting facts bare been gleaned concerning the dispersion of fresh water mollusks. accounting for their appearance In remote and isolated ponds. Waterfowl play an important part in this work. Ducks have been known to carry mussels attached to their feet a hundred miles or more. Bivalve mollusks not Infrequently cling to the toes of wading birds and are thus transported for considerable distances. Even aquatic Insects bare been known to carry small fresh water molhiaks attached to their legs. Harper's Weekly. A Wonderful Instructor.

He was re-elected in 1845, 1847, 1849, 1851, 1853, 1855 and 1867 and in 1859 retired from public life, making an eloquent farewell speech at Augusta, Ga., in which he declared the country at rest and slavery secure. In 1860 his name was discussed for the presidentcy of the United States, and he was an elector-at-large on the Douglas and Johnson ticket. In 1861, as delegate to the Georgia secession convention, he voted against secession. He was chosen a member of the Confederate convention at Montgomery to organize a provisional Confederate government, and was successively elected provisional and permanent vicepresident of the Confederacy, serving later as Confederate commissioner at the celebrated Hampton Roads conference of February, 1865, to negotiate an armistice with Lincoln and Seward.

Noise and Abuse a Part of the Transaction In Algiers. Americans who travel in eastern lands are amused as well as aggravated by the business methods which prevail there. A recent traveler in Algiers concluded to buy a mule and finally found one for sale. He went to the owner with an interpreter, and a dialogue then ensued as follows: The interpreter, with a yell: I will give you $10 for that mule." The Arab: "Ten dollars! Murder! Thief! Brigand!" The interpreter: "I will make it $11. Do you hear, you scoundrel? I offer you $11 for your old mule, which will die in about a week. Tou are a robber and a thief to take that much, but I am a generous man, and I serve a great man, so I offer yon $11, yon scum of Africa! Then they both yelled and shook their fists at each other, and to the American' It looked as if they were rolng for each other hammer and tongs. The row they made was terrible, but no one seemed to notice It. Finally a bargain wss struck, and then they fell upon each other's neck and embraced. And the American got his mule for $11.

GREAJEST PUY I JSJS TOLD TO SMerton By "REGGIE" (EMIL) RICHTER, Pitcher of Chicago Cubs, Recently Secured From Louisville, and Who Is Regarded ae One of the Most Promising Youngsters. The greatest play I ever saw, or ever hope to see, was made when I was playing semi-pro ball around Chicago before I could break into the professional ranks. I was not in the game, but saw the play from the stands during a hard fight between the Logan Squares and the Gunthers, at that time the two strongest and fastest ball teams around Chicago. Both teams were loaded up with major league talent, and they were hustling hard for the championship. The play happened on the Logan Square grounds. Jimmy Callahan was pitching one of the best games I every saw and was trying very hard to beat the Gunthers, his natural rivals. It was in the tenth inning, and Logan Square had scored one run In the first half of the Inning. Callahan. I believe, hitting home the run. The Gunthers came back at them and got a man to second and one to third, with two men out and a base hit needed to tie the score; and Dickey, who was at bat. was a dan-? gerous man and a hard hitter In a pinch. A hit meant a victory for the Gunthers and a lot depended upon It Matty Fltzpatrlck was umpiring, and as he was working all alone, naturally was standing back of Callahan. In Emit mentor. some way one of the balls sot In play fell out of his pocket and rolled back a foot or two behind him, remaining on the ground, and no one seemed to notice it, although it was near the slab, a little to Callahan's left Dickey got hold of one of Cal's fast balls and tore it through the box a mile a minute, so fast Cal couldn't recover from the pitch in time to try to block the ball. There the funny part of the play started. The ball Dickey hit struck the ball that Fltzpatrlck had allowed to fall from his pocket almost squarely, and as the balls struck together one went hard and fast to Bobby Lynch, who was playing ihortstop. and the other went even faster to Jack Campion, who was plsying second base. No one, not even the umpire, knew which wss the ball that was in play. Neither Campion nor Lynch noticed that the other was after a ball, and they scooped the two balls almost at the same instant came up clean with them and let them go toward first base at the same second. Frank McNlchols, who was playing first base for Logan Square, saw the two balls coming toward him at once, while Dickey was sprinting down the line as hard as he could. One ball was thrown high to ficNIchois left, the other waist high to bis right Two runners were sprinting for the plate. McNlchols never flinched. He kept both feet on first base, reached np with his mitt and grabbed the hlgl throw, reached down with bis bars hand and caught the low one and both balls beat Dickey to the base a step, ended the game and gare T-"gn Square the victory.

CANDIDATES SHOW PRIMARY EXPENSES None of Them, So Ear Reported, "Treated" Voters During Campaign. Candidates in the recent Republican primary election are filing their statements of election expenses with the county clerk. These statements are required under the Corrupt Practices act So far seven candidates have reported. According to the itemized statements none of the candidates who have filed their statements so far
spent money for "treating." The money expended during the campaign was for livery hire, transportation on railroads and interurbans, printing and meals. No promises of any kind were made by the candidates, according to the statements. In his campaign for the nomination for the office of prosecuting attorney Ralph Husson spent $283.30. Nimrod Johnson spent 232.65 in his race for the nomination for treasurer; John Darnell, $171.65 in the campaign for the' nomination for recorder; Lee J. Reynolds, $61.35 for the nomination of sheriff; Elias M. Hoover $141.05 in the race for the nomination for commissioner from the western district; and Howard Horton $10 for. the nomination for county surveyor. The above amounts include the amount which the candidates contributed towards the expense fund of the primary election. At the joint meting of the candidates with the county central committee previous to the primary election it was unanimously decided not to spend any money for treating friends or in any other way that would tend to make the primary "unclean." Some of the candi dates after reading Attorney General Honan's opinion on some part of the Corrupt Practices act did not entirely agree with him. Honan declared that in his opinion candidates for public office are permitted to spend money in certain ways; to allow men to stand at the polls and hand out their cards and talk in favor of candidates for which they are working and other things which the candidates in the local primary county primary election did not deem exactly proper. ATE First Victim Is a Star Basket Ball Player.

Every precaution is being taken by the college authori ties to prevent a spread of the disease. It was not ascertained until yesterday that Beery bad contracted the disease. On account of his illness Beery will not play next Friday night when Earl ham meets Notre Dame. Another basket ball player will not be on the line up Friday night Benjamin Brownell center for Earlham has been condition ed in some of his subjects and will not be permitted to play.
