1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda," which will be
seen Friday night is not new to Savannah
theater-goers. 1t was seen here year
ago when Miss Odell Of Beaufort played
the leading role. If the cast this year is
as good as that which presented the NAV
year ago the production cannot fail TO
be a successful one. The play is an IN

and enjoyable from start to finish The
love story that threads it is a pure one

one can readily see that Anthony Hope, in
writing the novel, got the material from
his own healthy brain.

TESTIMONY OF
PROSECUTION CLOSED
Evidence by Defense Has Been
Introduced.
CHAPLAIN STILL HOPEFUL

Denver, Sept. 29.-In the Nc
lntyre court martial today the
prosecution closed its testimony
and that of the defense was be-
gun. Two witnesses were exam
ined this morning, State Senator
John R. Skimmerhorn and Joshua
Wilson. Both men declared that
Mcintyre had not spoken in a
sighting or contemptuous manner,
either of Sampson or Evans, but
when cross-examined their direct
testimony was considerably weak
ened.
The chaplain continues to hope
for favorable result.

Chamber Of Commerce

The Floreaoe Chamber of Com
merce is now duly organized in
accordance with the certificate of
incorporation issued TO that body
by the Secretary of State.
AT its last meeting code of bv-
laws was adopted, and officers
elected for the ensuing year. The
result of the election was .as fol
lows: President, DIR. B. F. Rose
berry; Vice President, w. II.
Dayie, Jr.; Secretary, JAS. P. III.
Callahan; Treasurer, P. T. Nc
Guire. In addition to these Off
GERS there was appointed mem
bership committee, consisting of
Hugh Houston, Fred Mitchell and
w. Fl. Davie, Jr. Regular meet
ings will be held the first and
third Fridays of each month.
The Chamber of Commerce is
an institution of which Florence
may well be proud, and it will
without doubt receive the un-
animous support of our people in
its very laudable efforts to adj
vance the city's interests by pro-
noting such enterprises as may
present themselves.
Florence has natural advantages
such as but few cities are favored
with, and her possibilities of be-
coming city of large proportions
will be greatly strengthened
through the influence and effort
of the Chamber of Commerce.

Thoughtful Express Messenger BaIks their
Game
ROBBERS SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED

Denver, Sept. Shortly after
the Rio Grande train which left
the Union depot here at 7:15 last
night had passed through Monu-
ment, two masked men entered the
cab and commanded Engineer
Herman to stop the train and
throw up his hands. The engine
was Immediately reversed, but as
the train was going down grade it
was some time before coming to
stop. Meanwhile, while the atten-
ton of the desperados was direct
ed to the engineer, Fireman Ben
nett, who was standing on a seat,
kicked one of the bandits in the
face, knocking him down. Ben
nett then jumped through the cab
Window and ran out over the front
Of the engine.
About this time two loud explo-.
sions occurred, caused by two
sticks of dynamite which two
other robbers had lighted and
thrown under the express car. The
express messenger Immediately
put out the lights, locked the doors
and lay fiat on the floor.
The fireman by this time had
secured a revolver and emptied its
contents,- then retreated into the
baggage car, the robbers mean
while who had taken refuge under
the express car raining shower
Of bullets in this direction.
Engineer Herman seeing this,
ran back to the engine and turned
on the steam under the cars, which
drove the robbers from their hid
ing place, and before they could
be intercepted they took to the
woods.
The robbers were evidently not
experts at the game, as is evil
denced by the bungling way in
which they undertook the job.
A scene of widest confusion
was enacted in the coaches while
the firing was going on. Women
tainted, men got down between
the seats and attempted to get
their watches, purses and other
yaluables in safe places of hiding.
About twenty-five shots were fred,
Porter johnson having a very
harrow escape.

Mountain Fires

Reports from different sections
of the state indicate that the an
nual devastation of the forests by
fire is in full blast again. In most
places the destruction of the tim
ber goes on unchecked, and only
where settlements are threatened
by the devouring element is some
show of resistance made to the
progress of the flames. The ori-
gin of these mountain fires 10 in
many cases traceable to the crimi-
nal negligence of camping parties
now on their way back to the
plains, after having spent the sum-
mer months in the mountains.
Breaking camp in the morning
they start out on their homeward
travels without taking the neces-
sary care iu thoroughly extinguish-
ing the camp fire. The ground
being very dry at this season, a fire
once started will soon be beyond
control, aud thus thousands of
acres of forests are annually des-
troyed and frequently great dam
agess done to private property.
If people would but think how
long it takes for tree to grow up
and of what vast consequences the
timber is to the country they GER
tainly would be more careful in
the use of fire. Hunters, prospec-
tors and people used to live in the
mountains are as rule careful
enough and one seldom hears any
complaints about them. They are
used to outdoor life and manage to
take care Of their own and
their neighbors' property. 1t is
the camper and the pleasu-e q
seeker who must be looked after
and instructed in the proper care
of camp fires. In not few places
where twenty and more years ago
whole forests were laid waste by
fire, new growth has started up,
but unless properly protected will
again share the fate of former for
ests. The ever increasing demand
for timber will in course of time
necessitate a well regulated sys-
tenn of supervision of our forests,
but until that is established the
settlers in the mountain region
will have to keep a sharp lookout
to protect public and private prop
erty.-Denver Post.
