A WOMAN CONGRESSMAN.
Colcrada Sure to Elect a Woman to
Ths Next Congress:
Anderson Mail.
Out in Colorado there is in pro
gress a lively political battle, one
that is making the atmosphere
sizzle, even at this early cUy.
The fight is over who is
going to represent the State in
Congess from among the many
bright woman politicians in both
the Republican and Democratic
parties.
For there seems to be no doubt
that there will be a "lady Con
gressman" from Colorado next
time. This is now practically
conceded by the wise men in
both parties.
Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, a
democrat, is suggested as one
who might win the honor. Con
gressman Rucker is known to
have announced that he is ready
and willing to step down and out
to make room for Mrs. Decker
whenever called upon to do so.
It is understood that the Demo
cratic party of the State is per
fectly satisfied to have Mrs.
Decker succeed Mr. Rucker, and
whether it is or not will make
no difference to Mrs. Decker,
for she will likely enter the
race. She is conceded to be a
brillant woman well versed in
parliamnetary usages, posted to
a degree on economic and politi
cal questions, and an orator of
considerable note all combin
iug to equip her for the duties of
a 'congressman. ' ' With her are
all the Democratic suffragists in
Colorado.

To Tie Old Carolina. Veterans.1
BY T. JACKSON.
Here's to Old Carolina Veterans,
From the land of pine and tar,
There never has been danger
Too great for them to dare. :
Four years they wore the grey of
South Land,
And kept their banner high,
A thin' grey .line around it,
Resolved to do or die.
Four years they "wore the grey of
South Land,
And raised the rebel yell.
On manv a well fought field,
Mid storms of shot and shell.
Four years they wore the grey of
South Land,
While comrades around them fell,
How well they did -their duty,
The records and songs will tells
But the old thin grey line,
That once was young and gay
Are answering to the last roll call,
And passing fast away.
Their heads have frosted over,
Black locks have changed to grey,
The thin grey line is breaking,
And going nature's way.
But when they cross life's ocean,
And reach the other shore,
God rest the souls in Heaven,
That meet on earth no more.

FIND THIRTY-SIX BOfilES.
Discovery of Section- Hands on Louis
vVille & Nashville Railroad Swells
Death List of Flood to Approxi
mately Two Hundred.
New Orleans, Sept., 25.
Section hands on the Louisville
& Nashville railroad found the
bodies of 36 sailors and fisher
men near Dunbar station, Louis
iana, late today. This brings
the total number of dead result
ing from last Monday's hurri
cane up to approximately two
hundred. The bodies Were bad
ly decomposed and were buried
near the old trackbed, without
indentification.
Dunbar is a small station on
the Louisville & Nashville raij
road between New Orleans and
Bay. on St. Louis, Miss. It is
not far from the rigolets, which
connect Lake Borgne, an arm of
the Gulf of Mexico, with Lake
Ponchartrain. During the hur
ricane many light draughs sail
ing vessels, heading for the in
land waters, were swept ashore
in this section . From day to day
tlje body of a drowned sailor or
fishermon from some of these
wrecked schooners has been
found and estimates on the total
number of dead have been based
on the former : rate at which
these bodies have been dis
covered. , . V-' V :
i: iWhei $6 jblbdies were fdtfttd in
one place at one time today - all
former estimates as to the num
ber of persons who lost their
lives in the gulf coast hurricane
were completely upset. Diligent
search throughout the same sec
tion failed to reveal any more
bodies. The clothing and ap
pearance of the drowned men
plainly showed their calling, but
tHere was nothing which would
lead to individual indeti fixa
tion. . r
Taf t and (pannon May Come to Mr.
Morehead's Rescue.
Winston Sentinel. ;
It has beeri figured out in this
bailiwick that by announcing that
he would not accept a re-nomination
Congressman John M. .More
head of this district, lost much
6f his influence with the "powers
that be' in: Washington. Per
haps this is how and why his
endorsement in" the censor sup
pervisorship failed to land his
man. ' "
It is now reported that Con
gressman Morehead will not only
be suported by Cannon, but that
Judge Taf t is very much opposed
to the way the appointment of
Professor Glasson was manipu
lated and that the row will' as
sume national proportions. Ik-is
expected to have some important
southern .significance at least.
Nobody ; pretends ' to know all
about it, but the charge is "made
by Mr Bramham, of durham who
knows all about it, -but the charge
has seeri: directly made that Com
mitteman Duncan went over the
head ot Congressman J More
head. ; ; '

; v Social Clubs and Liquor.
Gastonia Dispatch ' , ;
Mr. A; L. Bulwinkle, "pf this
city, at the request : of Sheriff - T.
B. Shuford recently wrote to At
torney General. T.'W.' Bickett,
requesting ah expression - of opin
ion as to the construction of the
statute section 64 revenue - law,
relating to clubs andl trie dispens
ing by them of in toxicating liquors.
The law is very plain ' and Attor
ney General Bickett's construction
of it is in keeping -with the popular
conception, to-wit, that no social
club can be chartered for the pur
pose of selling or giving away
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors
or any mixture of them. No re
ference is made to to the Jocker
system, which is the one so gener
ally resorted to, and "which is
the scheme by means of which the
prohibition law is circumvented.
