Mr. Goodman ad not seen Mr. Weddington's- ar cle ahout the tragedy when he rote: '. ' i ' tr. Editor: i , . I notice in a recent issue of The ribune .an; article from Mr. Jno. "A. ims,, asking, about a man being kill 1 at the liob Phifer place above own. The facts are these: Just af 2r Lee's surrender and after the lo.st of the ajmy had passed, going orne.; tliere came to -Mr.' Tice ('line's t .what is now the Phifer. place, two ien with a couple of horses and sked to spend the night. They said hat tli.ey did not want to sleep in the louse, hut in the yard, as soldiers isually didj They were permitted to ic their horses under the trees in he yard and there spend the nights The next morning a little girl, by the name of Quillman, who made her lome at Mr. Gline 's, eume running in the house in an excited manner and ?aid that she believed fljat the. man, in the yard was smothering. Mr. Cline's son, Frank, who had just re turned from the army, remarked, "The devil !yoti can't. smother a sol dier, " and -went out to investigate. To his sitrprise the horses and one of the ; men were gone.- When he. raised tbe blanket off of the man" lying there he discovered that he. had been bit ,on the head with an axe. The man never regained conscious ness and died some time that day. M, recollection is that he was buried at Mt. Olive, but will not be positive as to that..' .There were no papers on his person by which his name could be known. . : ! ! There is no one of the Cline family now living except Miss Jennie, afi onlv daughter, Avho married a Mr. Martin and, if living, is at or near Longtown Miss. I expect Mr. Frank Willeford Was there and saw the 'man for he lived in two or three hun- dred yards, of Cline. There was not much said aboutiit. I do not think fhey ever held an in quest, for dead men -were very com mon" then, and there was no good feel ing in-the country for horse theirs and robbers which were from the Avorst element of botb armies.

Both Have Splendid Openings After Holidays Mont Amoena Girls Re turn Social Affairs and Personals. The New Year arrived on time, and so did the opening hour for Mt. Pleasant 's two splendid schools. And they began work. The attendance is most flattering, indeed, and is a com plete refutation of the (statements made not long since that the rolls of the schools would be perceptibly re duced at this time. The Collegiate Institute is going its usual gait in its accustomed way. Chief interest, however, has centered in Mont Imoe na Seminary in the improvised quar ters. AVould the young ladies return? The question has been asked a million times. In answer, we are pleased , to sav thev are here. No doubt about it. Not dnly are thg regular students here, but many others, knowing the conditions as they are, asked to be received, but were advised not to come because accommodations were hot available at this time. (Is Mt. Pleasant a good place to conduct a school?) The community feels justly proud -of the students. IMiey are loy al. Thev have proved it. And to them belong-all honor for. the noble stand they have' taken, for the .school they love. There, is but one Mont Amoena Seminary and that one j is in Ml. Pleasant. The school and the town are one. lo separate tnem is to ae- strov the soul of the school. The work inl the school room is starting. off nicely, just a though'., there had been no fire. ' , 'A reception was given the students of both institutions at the Collegiate last night.

Nothing but death can keen m:-, out of the rght now." President Taft is reported to have madeHbis statement to White House ?alIers today and to have Mued that he had no objection to the statement being made public. I. It undoubtedly was intended to set at rest all reports that Mr. Taft might withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination for President in favor of Colonel Roosevelt. I The President is said to be thor oughly aroused to the gravity of the j situation in the Republican party and determined to let hie attitude be generally Understood. He has declar- ed that under no circumstances will he withdraw his name from consider- ation by tlie Chicago convention next June and has asserted that his, posi- tion has not changed in any particu lar since he first" entered the White House. Mr. Taft told friends and party should be called upon to stand for re-election he would be elad to do! so; mat ne ieit unaer ooiigaiions to tlie party tor having made - him President, and was . willing. to abide its decision in the convention. I He I -11 . . , ... ' ,. adheres to this position, according to announcements today and will not quit the race until "the nominating ballots are cast at Chicago. ; it was stated today that some ot Mr. SP aft Js friends ' have gone ; so far lately , as to advise him to openly break with Colonel Roosevelt and to challenge the latter to make plain his intentions. The President has declined to do this. The White House has been fairly flooded with callers ' lately who have brought word to President Taft that Colonel Roose velt so far has declined to say that he would accept the nomination ! if it were' tendered to him. ! He also has been reported to the White .House that Colonel Roosevelt believes an organized effort .is ! bein made to il smoke him out" and that he. declines to be M smoked " "either by the Taft or LaFollette forces, The President has listened to all these 'reports with an indulgent simle but has refused to indicate whether or not he believes them. It is ve- hemenly. denied at' the White House, however, that Mr. Taft has sent any messengers ' ' to Mr. Roosevelt on any subject whatsover.
