Judge Cage, a rival candidate, that the two should make the canvass to gether. One night they stopped with an aged couple. Cage recommended himself by 'cutting a turn of wood and bringing It in, for the old lady before supper. In the morning he missed Plummef. but: soon' found him at the cow pen, the old lady' milking and be holding the calf back by It tall. Cage was runous. bo when they had ridden mile or so. and came to where the roads forked , Cage halted and aald: "Plummer, here we part. ' Tou are too aggravating. - Choose your own road; If we travel ' together another day I shall ahoot you." And so they parted. In one of hla campaigns Hummer had an anrmrentlV' dan aarnu a rtnrwtn.nt in Judge PowVattan Ellis of Matches, one or toe am est men in the- atate. . The Judge, though ' a sound Democrat, waa of arlatocratlo appearance and precise In dress, A newspaper Item stating that Judge Bills In crossing a swollen creek had his portmanteau washed away gave Plummer a cue.- He caused an adver tisement to be inserted In a Journal of the section to-the following effect: Lost By Hon. Powhattan : Ellis, In crosslng2the -Tallahela. the . folio wing artiolea; Six Uwn handkerchiefs, six cam brio shirts. - two nightshirts,' one nightcap,, one pair stays, four pair silk. stockings, hair brush, rasors and dress ing glasa;1 also one bottle, each poma tum snd perfume.

And . this . success 1 cam about purely through his indomitable will and de termination. He had Invented a carv ing machine, and. In trying to raise money on it he met a machinist, who told him the'-eewlng machinea he han dled had defects, which. If Singer could eradicate, would mean money to him. ' Singer believed he could do It. but he had not a cent In th world to spend Id making th attempt. A friend at last cam to his rescu and loaned him 140. He worked day 'and night, aleeptng bat three hours, and eating but on meal a day. ' At midnight on the eleventh day, with a companion to hold the light, he fltilahed" his machine and undertook to run It. It would not go. Completely dlsoouraged, he: closed the - ahop-and started - to his ; boarding-house. . The nervous tension which he was under, caused by th long vigils; th clos work, the thought, of tbr lost money, gave way, and In a sUte of utter coltaps he sank down on a. pn of boards, every hope, blasted, all strength' gone. 111 It self almost gone.- v , !r--- Suddenly It flashed upon nls mind that ha had not adjuatad the tenaion upon th needle-thread. He sprang up and went back to the ahop, adjustfsd ths tension, and ills machine was a success; From this invention he made his millions. Often when defeat seems crushing In upon us some slight adjustment reverses the entire situation.
