Men of the south, the only force now needed in this free government is that of justice reason and intelligence. This is the irresistible power upon which rests our strength, security, permanency and glory. We have entered upon a new and blessed era; we have crossed the dominion of force into the kingdom Of peace and law and mutual good will. (Tremendous cheering.) Faith in each other, faith in a common country faith in the future and a common destiny has made us one.
 This is my message to the grim sur vivors of that mighty war on both sides.

 Each Shot Taking Effect-yictim's Con-

 Posse in Pursuit.
 Palmer, Mass, Oct 9.-Andrew Pin ney, agent of the Palmer carpet mills, was shot and possibly fatally injured this afternoon. Friday is pay day at the mills, the operatives usually re- ceiving their money in the afternoon. To-day however they had been paid in the forenoon and the mill closed at noon.
 Mr. Pinney had been home to dinner and was driving back to the mill When a short distance out of the village and not far from the mil his horse was seized by a masked man who jumped from the woods at the side of the road. He held in one hand a revolver MT. Pinney asked him what he wanted and he replied that he wanted money.
 Pinney struck the man with a whip, also striking the horse. The horse broke loose and started toward the mill, the hlghwayman firing two shots at Mr. Pinney as he passed. The first shot wounded the forefinger and thumb of the right hand and entered the right breast. The second entered the left leg just above the knee.
 Upon MT. Pinney's arrival at the mill, he was taken care of by his superin- tendent, who drove him home. Be- fore leaving, however, the engineer was called and notified of the crime. The latter told the operatives living in che tenements near by and they com menced a search fol the robber. As soon as MT. Pinney reached home a doctor was called and his wounds dressed. It was found both balls had passed beyond the reach of probe. The wound In the chest was the most 6erious, having slightly injured the luilS. lt WdS lIllpoSSlDle lo tell HOW they will result.
 The fire alarm was rung and a large searching party organized. The clothes worn by the man were found in the woods, but nothing to point to the direction taken by him. Later in the afternoon word was received from Three Rivers that a man bareheaded and wearing mask emerged from the woods near the Sykes farm and was seen to re-enter them at once. It is i'm possible to arrive at this point from the scene of the crime without leaving the woods, except to cross the highway, all though the distance is about three miles.

JOE pArcHEN,s s1ow TIME.
Unable to Cover the Medford Track Faster
 Than 2;O6 3-4.


 Medford, Mass, Oct. 9-After four postponements this week the Combina- tion Park races were started to-day with a good sized crowd in attendance. There was a, cold wind blowing across the park and the track was heavy, making fast time almost impossible Joe Patchen attempted to beat his pre- vious record of 2:05A, but was only able to make 2:06%, which is consid- cred very fast time, however, in view of the conditions of track and weather. In the last heat of the PIP class Baron Dillon made break at the start and ran into the fence, crushing the off, wheel of the sulky. Driver Fuller was thrown and sustained a bad fracture of his left leg. He was taken to the Massachusetts General hospital. This accident disconcerted Maple Valley and in the mix-up his driver, Otterson, was also thrown, but was uninjured. In the fifth heat of the 2:16 class Halo tossed her driver, dashed around the track and out the main entrance on to the street, where she was caught. Fa- vorites were beaten in all but one of the finished races, the exception being the 2:15 class. In this race Hilda s. won out in the fourth heat by the smallest possible margin.
