A Serious Break.

The water main running from tie
engine house through gallows hollow
bursted yesterday and for about -four
hours a column of water a foot in
diameter shot up out Of the ground,
making Il stream down the hollow
almost large enough to float gun
boat. The water main was buried
about four feet under the ground, ana
when the break occurred the earth
was torn up for several feet in each
direction. Superintendent r. L
McCulloch soon had a force at work
repairing the break, and everything
was gotten in ship shape before
night.

Rev. Jappes' Sermon Sunday.

Rev. Jappes, of the Catholic
church informs the LEAF.CHRoN.
ICLE that his sermon Sunday could
not have been interpreted as border.
ing on the race question. The sub
jet was the coming of the wise men
to adore the new born King (Jesus).
He stated that one of these wise
men was supposed TO have been a
negro, and that God has called all
mankind to be saved, the black, as
well as the white, and that the g tn.
Ollie church has at all times preached
the gospel to all men, to all races, as
the Lord gave them command to
preach to all creatures.
In this discourse he stated that
there were about 10000 colored Cath
olics and the fact that they are every
where respected shows the beneficial
effect of the Catholic church upon
the negro. He did not uphold the
negro or his race as great philoso.

BEGINNING EARLY.
A Boy stalls a Horse in Cheatham
County and Skips.

Col. Gupton, deputy sheriff from
Cheathan county, and Jes. Nlchol.
son of the same county, arrived in
the city this morning on the hunt of
a twelve year old boy charged with
stealing horse from the latter. The
boy is an orphan and has lived with
Nicholson since he was three years
old. He was attending school near
Cheap Hill in Cheatham cou ty, and
was in the habit of riding one of
Nichalson's horses to and from the
school house. Last evening he failed
to put 10 an appearance and Nichol-
son went in search of him. He soon
learned that he had taken the road
to this city and started in pursuit of
him, accompanied by the deputy
sheriff. At the toll gate on the
Nashville pike they learned that the
boy had passed through about sun
down last evening, saying that he
was coming to GAINESVILLE and that
he would return to-day AID pay his
toll. The searching parties came on
to the city and notified Sheriff Station
Of the theft, and though dilligent
search was made no trace of the boy
or horse could be found. MIR. Nichal-
son says that the boy has a brother
living in Missouri aud gives it as his
opinion that he is making for that
point. The boy being out of money
will most likely attempt to sell the
horse.

MODERN ARCHITECTURE.
,. L. Smith & Sons Preparing for Very
Busy Building Season.

Fred l.. Smith & Sons of the
GAINESVILLE Planning Mills are making
,repars nus Tor the most aggressl>,
business season they have ever had.
Mr.. Fred Smith says the outlook for
building enterprise is much more
dVOrable now than it was this tinr
,st year when the firm was kepj
yery busy, and now they are increa>.
i"g their facilities all along the line,
to meet every demand. They have
engaged one of the finest architects
to be found in all the country, a man
of original ideas and up with all
styles of modern architecture, and
can furnish any style, design or plan
to suit the most fastidious ideas.
This firm has been in operation
now some three years as successors to
Barksdale, Clark & Co., and Smith,
Clark & Co., and since that time have
thrilled their business charging
their grounds by purchase of ad.
ditional lots, also their planning mill
and work shops. They now have in
stock half million feet of seasoned
rough lumber for the opening of the
BUILDING season and are still adding
to the stock, also dressed lumber,
such as flooring, ceiling, weather
boarding, etc., and doors, blinds and
sash of all styles and sizes.
THE ARCHITECT
is Mr.. A.. Wright, late Of Chicago,
and formerly of st. Louis. He is
d charter member Of the Mis-.
souri, State Association of Architects
md was one of the builders of the
st. Louis custom house, superintend-
ent Of public works of Springfield,
Missouri, and also builder of the
ourt-hOuse of Marshall, Mo-, said t
be one OF the finest in the world !;
also architect of the court house 1t
Fort Smith, Ark, and has many
other noted buildings to his credit.
He certainly is master mechanic
and artist in building designs. He is
now engaged in drafting some now
and beautiful designs of modern ar
chitecture, altogether different from
any styles to be found in GAINESVILLE.
I, ely range from dandy $500 cottage
to a $40, 600 business block, best {,
tesigns for elegant two story resi-
dences worth from $1,000 to $4,000
Mr.. Wright has clear perception and
originality and is quick to catch
on to any idea of convenience
md comfort one may desire, and in
corporate it IN his designs.
Smith q Son have good mechanics
employed, and will increase the num-
Der as the building season opens, and
want it understood that they are in
the field to compete for contracts at
the lowest prices, guaranteeing good
work and handsome slightly build
ings of any size or extent,
This is a very promising show
ing from one concern, and becomes a
matter of congratulation to the city.
such enterprises argue well, not
only for the builders, but for the city,
and deserves encouragement. This
kind of IA thing is reassuring, calcu
lated to put vitality in business, new
life in the people, and start the city
on a general boom. There is no 60
back in Clarksville; she is bound to
a ivancc and people will witness
lively movements here soon.

Governor jackson.

A number Of men, more or less.
chasing themselves, too, as Demo-
Gratis, seem to take especial pleasure
in saying and sometimes in writing
in our opinion, unjust things, con-
corning Gov. jackson. We feel and
believe that Gov. Jackson has not
by many, received full credit for the
earnest endeavor and effort he has
ccnscientiously made, as the Execu.
tive of the State to give the people
an honest and economical govern.
ment, and to introduce reforms as
opportunity offered, He does not
claim to be great scholar nor q
great orator, but that he is man OF
excellent sense and Judgment, with
a warm and good heart, with an ex
tensive business acquaintance with
all the wants of the people and prac
teal sense and energy, all that know
him must admit. We believe him.
too, in all of the walks of life, to be
an honorable man, and further thai
he has given the State creditablc
administration of its affairs as Its
Executive. For the trouble that
grew out of Treasurer Archer's de-
falcation, we think it more than
probable that it would have been
the same had not Gov. jackson oc
cupied the position he does, and the
men who attempt to destroy his good
name and standing in his party, and
before the world, have personal o.
political grievances more or less, and
not the regard for Gov. Jackson OF
the Democratic party either, that
both are entitled to. We wish il
distinctly understood that this is not
written to advance the Governor for
the U. S. Senate. We are not in
that boat, but it is said because We
thiak it justly due Gov. jackson as
man and Democrat. We cannot
recall in our long experience in poll
tics and sometimes in public life
that the chief Magistrate Of the
State of Maryland has even been
criticised and condemned by any
good and true party man of his par
ty, without purpose and without
cause. This is generally left for the
opposition and the opposition press.

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents message which
was submitted to Congress yesterday
il quite yoluminous document, and
would weary the most patient reader
to attempt its perusal, and We shall
only give it a passing comment from
some Of oar valued exchanges. II is
not a State paper that would forci-
bly, impress the ordinary reader, and
is more interesting to the President
himself than any enc else. The Bal
tImore SIN in its editorial comment
says
Never, We believe, in the history
Of the country, has such "a roseate
picture Of the state Of affairs, foreign
and domestic, been presented for the
ediiica ton of our people at home and
the envy of foreign nations. Never
before were the national finances IN
a more healthy condition. Reciproc-
ity has worked we'll and promises
better, aud the cause Of American
pork is ''booming." The results of
the Mckinley bill, 'have dissppoint
ed the evil prophecies of its oppo
nents and in large measure realized
the hopeful predictions of its friends.
'sRarely," continues our cheerful and
optimistic President, eff ever before
in the history of the country, has
there been time when the proceeds
of one days labor or the product of
one farmed acre would purchase so
large an amount of those things that
enter into the living of the masses Of
the people. = =
Altogether the presidential hori-
zon seems singularly and happily
free from clouds. The very tone of
dissatisfaction and bon homie that
characterizes the message makes it
pleasant reading.
1t is an elaborate attempt to show
that there can be no possible Justl
iication for a change of administra
ton when everything is going on so
nicely and the whole country is
prospecting under the present Execu-
tive. It's a plausibly urged bid for
"a renomination--a cleverly-conceiyed
campaign document for the republi-
lican party.

During the War of 1912.

suppose it will be interesting to readers
of THE DISPATCH to give here another
story of early border annals, in which. a
number of the Sample household took rather
an unfortunate part. As the "History of
Allegheny County" tells the story as well
as it can be told, will quote from it:
A family named Dick settled on the run
since named from them Dicks run. They
came shortly after Sample. Sample had a
hired man by the name of Chapman. One
evening this man went to stay over night
with a relative who was living with Esley
Powers, within the present limits of Sharps
burg. He left the next day, and on his way
back stopped at Dicks place, where he was
invited to eat breakfast with the family. He
was in the act of sitting down to the table
when he was shot A band of savages rushed
into the house, scalped him, secured the
Dicks and Immediately left with them. The
next day Powers passed Dicks house, and
noticed that there was no one near, and that
the door was standing open. A day later he
passed again, and seeing the door still open,
and no person about the premises, he sus-
pected that something was wrong, and en-
on the floor. The settlers for miles around
were aroused, and a company started in pur-
suit. The Indians were tracked into Ohio,
and thence to Detroit, which was then in
possession of the British. There they re-
manned until exchanged. From the fact
that the British were in Detroit when the
family were taken, We conclude that they
were captured shortly after the commence
ment of the list war with Great Britain.
