LAST RACE
The Independence And
Columbia Make It
A HUMMER
The Weather And Water In
Good Condition

Brentons Point, Aug. 3!-The In
dependence and Columbia go again TO-
day for the last race Of the present
series and unless all signs fail it viii
be hummer
A cracking steady Is knot breeze is
blowing from the southwest and the
water is comparatively smooth. The
kind of weather and water .for the
best work.
Should the wind hold the race will
be finished within three hours. The
course today is triangular, 10 miles
to leg.
At 1910 the Independence came
out with mainsail, clubtopsail, stay
sail and jib set She moved with the
speed of h .wk. The Columbia fol-
lowed, beating out to Sea.
Wind comes stronger every minute
and the topmasts may 60 kiting.
At 10 IS the course signals make
the first leg southwest by south, beat
to windward, second leg to east. run
with wind, third leg to northwest, a
ICdCIl
Ihe wind is evidently too strong for
the Independence. She took in her
clubtopsail, then lowered the top
mast several feet and set to working
the topsaiIs, At 1855 the race was
postponed for time on account OF
too much Wind.
At H. Is the warning whistle was
blown. The wind is blowing strong
from IL to Is knots. AT IL 25 the
yachts crossed the starting line the
Independence leading by several sec
ords. When the preparat Try whistle
WAS blown the yachts b. gan duel
for the start.
The Independence stood away from
the Columbia running with the beam
to the wind but soon came about.
The Columbia stood inshore crossing
the Inde pendence bow, thus securing
the weather position. They then
stood for the line but were compelled
to come about in order not to cosS
before the starting whistle.
The boats again started for the
line. The Columb bia was obliged Togo
about again and the Independence
was about to do SO when the starting
whistle was blown. H2tf brought the
boat back on the starboard and went
across. The Independence is still in
the lead and out footing the Columbia
though the latter is pointing higher.
Haze is thick off the shore and the
yachts will soon be lost to view.
At 1l.45 the yachts were nearly in.
visible. In the last few minutes the
Columbia has closed the gap.

F ". JACKSON
Is The Leader In The
Contest
FOR BUFFALO TRIP
Month Of August will See A
Close Race

The voting contest is much more Of
success than the public has any
idea of and in fact we know that it
will be, before it closes, the most sue
cessful OF any that the TELEGRAM has
yet held.
One particularly pleasing feature is
the interest that is being taken by the
contestants and their friends in the
city and in Graniteville while those
from the other towns are also putting
up hot fight.
The hot weather is now over and
all parties will have more time to de-
vote to the matter and it looks as
though the race for the first place
would be an exciting one during this
month.
The standing today is as follows:
Frank w. jackson Barre, 1000
W. II. Spear, Granitevlle, 1850
B. II. Townshend, Plainfield, 1850
Frank Norway, Waterbury, $50

THE STRIKE HELD UP.
Fall River Workers Not Unanimous
as to Extreme Action.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 5.-The strike
threatened by the cotton mill opera
tives here to be begun next Monday
morning, to enforce a demand for a
5 per cent increase in wages, has
been declared off for two weeks by the
textile council.
The members of the state board of
arbitration and Cancellation came here
to-day to investigate matters, but the
announcement of the decision to defer
action left nothing for them to do.
The executive committee of the tex
tile council reached its decision at a
meeting to-day, which was postponed
from last night, and the action is said
to have been due to the uncertainty
existing as to whether a unanimous
vote to carry out the textile council
recommendation could be obtained.
The question hinges on the action of
the spinners association to be taken
on the strike question. 1t is under
stood that there must be unanimous
vote of all unions to put a strike de-
claration into effect. 1t is now hoped
that a general stoppage of machinery
may be averted by developments dur
ing the fortnight's interval.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the mule
spinners association voted on the rec
onnmendation of the textile council to
strike on Monday morning. The vote
was 213 against a strike and 81 in IA

H. H. HARVEY ACQUITTED.
Another Brunswick Sensation
Proves Utterly Unfounded.

Another Brunswick Sensation
Proves Utterly Unfounded.
Brunswick, Ca, Oct. SIN less than
three minutes time the jury in the case
of H. H. Harvey, returned a verdict
of not guilty. The verdict was returned
at 1890 o'clock tonight, and simply
confirmed the verdict always held by
the people of Brunswick, as a whole,
regarding the accusation against Har-
vey, who as a former city treasurer,
was accused of embezzling over $4,000
of the city's money. Mr.. Harvey's at
tcrneys did not introduce one word of
evidence, simply relying on the state
ment of the ex-treasurer as to his in
nocence.
The states experts fell down on their
testimony and all the evidence by the
state, tending to account for Harvey's
shortage by proving him a speculator,
failed to disclose where he had lost
over $500 during the time his alleged
shortage was supposed to have occur
red. 1t was shown by Harvey's state
ment that his legitimate income alone
per month was $500 and his living was
moderate. The unbiased ones who lis
tened carefully to all the evidence
were confident that the state could not
convict, and Harvey's friends made
bets on his acquital. The Jury was
hardly out long enough to write a YER
dict, and the verdict could not have
given much more pleasure to Harvey
than it did to his hundreds of friends
who have always believed him inno-

LARGE TIMBER DEAL.

Mill I'm Quitmsn.

Mill IN Qu1tmEn.
Quitman, Ca, Oct. 5.--Oglesby Bros.
have just closed a trade with DIR. T.
w. Hunter by which they have ac-
quired a large tract of timber land a
few miles north, of Quitman. the result
of which will be a large mill in Quit
man, with tramroad to the timber.
Oglesby Bros. propose to incorporate
the enterprise, and small amount Of
stock will possibly be on the market.
Messrs. jeff Davis and w. B. Green
Of North Carolina are going to start
a broom factory in Quitman soon, and
in connection with same they expect
to encourage the growth of broom corn
in this county.
The depot of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company at
Dixie, in this county, was burglarized
this week, but the job was not profit
able one to the burglar. He secured
$50 out of the cash drawer and gave
no attention to one or two valuable
express packages in the same room.
On Oct. Is the South Georgia Rail-
road will put on a double schedule
from Heartpine to Greenville.
The cotton is slow in coming to this
market, and the prospect is that the
crop will be very short.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Al the machine
cry of the Department of State is now
at work to save from death or pro-
longed captivity Miss Helen Stone, the
missionary who was kidnapped in Tur-
key. The President himself has be-
come actively interested in the matter.
To-day DR.. Samuel H. Capen. presi-
dent of the American Board Omissions,
and DR.. Judson Smith, the foreign sec
rotary of the board, arrived in Wash
ington from Boston and went directly
to the State Department. After an
hours conference with Acting Secre-
tary Adee and Solicitor Penfield they
were escorted to the White House.
President Roosevelt gave close atten-
ton to their statement.
Although the Department of State
already had taken up the matter, Pres
ident Roosevelt laid fresh instructions
upon Mr.. Adee to spare no effort to
accomplish the purpose he had in view
OF releasing Miss Stone.
Owing to the peculiar conditions of
this case, none of the parties to to-
days conference was at liberty to make
statement for publication respect
ing the measures to be adopted. 1t is
gathered that whatever may be done
In the future in punitive
way, Miss Stone must be ransomed
to begin with. Probably the
money must come from the mission
board or from private contributions.

which may be used to pay the ransom.

would urge upon their Pensioners
to contribute and send their
contributions to the treasurers as early
as possible, In compliance with the APP
peal The time is so short. 1t is urged,
the subscriptions should be made in

Miss stones mother, an old lady, and
in somewhat feeble health, still lives
in Chelsea, and brother, Charles A.

among the relatives who live about

FOOT BALL AT EMORY.
students Once More Receive Permis-
sion TO Play.


Emory College, oxford, Ga, Oct. g.
The students of Emory have at last
been given the privilege of playing in
ter-class football When this fact was
announced this morning by President
bowman it was greeted with enthu-
siastic cheers. Inter class football was
played at Emory until 1897, when the
faculty decided that 1t would be best
to discontinue it. This was done and
basket ball substituted. This has
been the only game played
during the fall for the last four years,
and it has not proved a good substi-
tute for football. as it does not give
that all-round development which is
obtained by devotees of the latter sport.
The students have several times made
efforts to have the game restored. but
not until this year did the college SEN
timent turn so overwhelmingly to-
wards football. A petition was start
ed, and in a few hours it had attached
to it two hundred and thirty names.
1t was taken to DR.. bowman by a COM
mittee from the senior class. and he, on
receipts of it. called a
special meeting of the facul-
ty. The question was thoroughly ex-
amined from all standpoints and they
came to the conclusion already stated.
A student, however, will not be al
lowed to play unless he has permis-
sion from his parents and a certifi-
cate from reputable physician stat
ing that he is in condition to play
without injury to himself; also, each
player must be equipped with head
harness, a nose guard, shin guards,
and shoulder pads, besides his regu-
lar padded suit With all of these
precautions there is no doubt but
that good will be derived from this
sport. Elections will take place to-
morrow for managers of the class
teams and these men when elected will
set towards getting the rough material
into shape. The Seniors will put out
the heaviest team and the Sophomores
probably the fastest.
