The News comes out this week with
a few little items against the Peoples
party officers. He makes several state
ments that are lies Of whole cloth As
everyone knows they are such they
need no answering The reason of the
scolding IS because the Peoples party
men would not pay him the 500 which
he needs to pay expenses this winter.
He said that he wanted 500 and he did
not care where It came from, and If the
Peoples party men wanted him on
their side they would have to come In
about two centuries. As no one wants
a jonah they refused his magnificent
offer and the scoIding is the result.

Traitors Of the Country.

The Wilson tariff bill is only in favor
Of importers. Many so called Democrats
in congress voted for it because they do
not know what is right, or for the bene-
fit of the people at large in this country.
How many senators will vote for it we
do not know at present. The elections
we had lately in different parts of the
country prove, however, what the peo-
pie think of the Wilson bill 1t is not
30 much the Democratic or Republican
party as the tariff question, but nine
tenths Of our. present congressman and
senators who vote for the passing of the
Wilson tariff bill may consider this
their last term in office. l suppose the
majority of the people at large will look
upon them as traitors of the country. -

known, however, that Ed Thurman was
crushed to death in stable. Many

their fearful walls indicated serious in

killed as the cyclone swept on its course
as far east as the people could see it.
Two general stores, the largest build
ings in the village, were crushed like
egg shells. A freight train was stand
ing on the Frisco track at the time and
six cars were lifted up and turned up
side down. This would indicate that
the cyclone was at least 200 feet wide.
The wreck is standing on the track
piled up 30 feet high and trains cannot

SENATOR HILL DoWNED AGAIN.

Amendment Exempting State and Munich
pal Bonds From Income Tax Defeated.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-With the
thermometer showing at SO degrees in
the senate chamber Tuesday the senate
entered upon the 18th week of the tariff
debate.
Mr.. Allen made another Intellectual
attempt to carry his resolution direct
ing the secretary of the treasury to in
form the senate of the total number of
persons engaged in protected industries
whose wages might be affected by tariff
legislation. Mr.. Gallinger objected,
and Mr.. Morrill, moved to refer it to the
finance committee. Mr.. Allen gave
notice that as long as the resolution re-
manned Enacted upon he would object
TO all legislation by unanimous consent.
Mr. MorrilPs motion was defeated by a
vote of 16 to 81. Then the senate re-
sumed the consideration of the income
tax provision Of the tariff bill
Mr.. Hill withdrew the amendment he
offered on Saturday to strike out the
provision eXempting the interest on
United States bonds from The operation
of the tax. His object in Offering the
amendment, he said, was to call the at
tention Of the country to the fact that
$685.. 000,O 900 of property in government
bonds was necessarily exempt from the
operation of the income tax under the
law, although the ostensible purpose of
the income tax was to reach wealth and
equalize taxation. There was an enor-
nous investment of capital which tho
income tax could not reach.
Mr.. Hill then moved to exempt state,
county and municipal bonds. He ar
gued that taxation of state bonds by
the federal government would be d.
rect attack upon the administration of
the states. If the federal government
had the right to diminish the value of
state bonds and securities, it had the
right to destroy them. Aside from the
question of the exercise of a doubtful
power, in justice to the states which
senator's represented on this floor, and
upon which this tax bore heavily, Mr..
Hill thought the states should have the
right to issue bonds without being sub
ject to federal taxation. The amend
ment was lost, % to 30.

SAVANNAH. June 27.-Train No. 6 of
the Savannah, Florida and Western
railroad from Townsville, due to ar
rive at Z a. IN. was held up one mile
this side of bonneville by six masked
men. The safe in the express car was
robbed of its contents, S1.223 in cash.
Two of the men boarded the train at
bonneville, concealing themselves be-
hind the tender. AS soon as it started
they climbed over the tender,
covered the engineer and fireman
with pistols and told Engineer Jenkins
to stop when ordered.
About a mile from bonneville tho
order was given and the train brought
to standstill. Then four other masked
men Joined the party and while two
kept the engineer covered they pro-
ceeded to get into the express Car.
Conductor Farris came out with a train
hand to investigate the cause for STOP
ping. but did not stand on ceremony
when ordered to return to his car.
While two of the men kept watch
the other two ordered Messenger Calder
to open the door. He refused and was
then told he had better get out of the
Car. He heard one of the men lighting
fuse and before he could reach the
corner dynamite cartridge exploded,
breaking the door from its fastenings
and completely stunning the messenger.
When he came to he was looking into
the barrel of pistol and was ordered
to throw up his hands. He did not
hesitate long ana when told to open
the safe he did so. taking the packages
out as ordered.
The robber there was only one in the
carr gathered up the money in his arms
and went to join his associates. They
got on the engine, made the fireman un-
couple it from the cars and then COM
PEELED both engineer and fireman to
leave it. Then they ran the engine up
to poiut in the woods near Argyle, II
miles from the scene of the robbery.
where they left it and took to the
woods.
Ex-Sherif Hurst of Thomas county,
at the head of a posse, reached the scene
about four hours later and with pack
of hounds from McRae's lumber camp
started in pursuit of the robbers, who
were thought to have gone off in the
direction of Okeniskee swamp. The
officials believe the posse has the right
trail and that the robbers will be cap
tured.
The robbers did not enter the mailcar
nor any of the passenger coaches, their
only apparent object being to secure
the money in the expresscar. The pas
sengers were considerably alarmed for
the time being, but no one was hurt.
