SUPPOSED RAPfSF ARRESTED.
Suspicious Looking Negro Held for
Sheriff of Wayne.

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. Another ne
gro was arrested here last night on
suspicion of being the rapist wanted
in Wayne county. He gave his name
as Isaac Donnegol, and admitted be-
ing fugitive, but said that he had
shot a negro on the new road from
Jesup to Folkston. He jumped from
the midnight train last night some
time before it reached the depot, and
was afterwards caught by the police
o11cers in negro district. When
caught he had two pistols, a Winches-
ter rife and a pocketful of cartridges
in his possession, and was evidently
fixed for defense. The police officers
feel confident that he is the right ne
gro, and it is certain that he is from
the scene of the crime whether he is
the guilty man or not. The crime for
which he Is wanted was committed
some distance from Jesup. After as
saulting young lady, the fiend is said
to have seriously stabbed her grand

Sheriff Lyons of Wayne, is expected
here on the next train to identify the
negro who is being held, here.
A fire alarm was sounded at noon
to-day, the flames being discovered in
Dukes bay just south of the city. The
fire did no damage more than to burn
off the grass and underbrush over an
area of several hundred yards each
way. The firemen responded to the
alarm promptly, and in doing so, one
of the men, young Jolly, was thrown
from a truck and was run over by a
reel. His hand was so seriously mash
ed as to necessitate the amputation OF
some of his fingers.

on his seal, though he figures as REX
Angliae" in his charters. His successor.
John, was the final innovator, and
signed, sealed, and delivered as king
of England"
His Holiness Leo X. no doubt, con-
ferred the title of Defender of the

the political approval of the royal
authors Illumination against Luther.
The Bull is to be read in fac smile,
in the "Foedera' of the useful Rymer.
But that the right of that title was
fixed in the Crown long before the
Pope's pretended donation" and that
the seventh Henry bore it, was proved
to the satisfaction of Christopher
Wren, Dean of Windsor and Register
of the Order of the Garter from 1886 to
1855, by the evidence of the official re-
gister of the order itself.
Great Britain" was the emendation
OF Elizabeth. who had prophetic eye
to future developments. The British
solomon naturally saw the force of
the new style. He adopted it imme-
diately. On Oct. 20, 1903, Lord Gran
bourne wrote to Mr.. WILDWOOD from
Whitehall, inclosing copy of "procla-
nation published this day of his
Majesty changing his title and taking
upon him the name and style of King
of Great Britain, France, and Ireland,
by which he henceforth desires to be
acknowledged. both at home and
abroad, and that his former titles shall
be extinct" A plain and businessike
statement, not unsuggestive if the
modern deed-poll.
Since the King OF England ceased to
be Elector of Hanover, one minor title
has disappeared which used to puzzle
the liege in the street good deal. 1t
would be set forth, in initial form, as
s. r. l. A. T. The initials stood for
Sacri Romani imperii Archi- Thesaurus
Arch Treasurer of the Holy Roman
Empire, in fact.
The liege in the street could hardly
be expected to know that the arch
treasurership in question was an office
which had been settled upon the Elec-
tors of Hanover by reason of their de-
scent FROM Frederick, IGlector PaIatine.
So it was, however.
The imperial addition 20 the title of
an English sovereign is just a quarter of
century old. In 1876 Mr.. Disraeli
might have quoted to his sovereign a
line from poet whom he did not much
affect perhaps:
Empress, the way is ready. and not
long.
And indeed the time was ripe for "R

KING EDWARDS TITLE.
History and Explanation of It's M
merous Styles for the British
Sovereign.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


Sovereign.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Kings title. as brought up to
date, reads good deal more euphoni-
ously in the vernacular than "in the
Latin tongue" "Terrarum transmari
parum quae in ditione stunt Britanni-
ca" is Latin. no doubt; but that is
about all that can be said for it.
The imperial character of English
royalty has never, of course, been so
roundly asserted as now 1t is. The
times have been, indeed, when imper
ialism by no means commended itself
to an English Edward, statesman as
we'll as King. In 1880 it was emphatic
ally declared; "Quod regnum Angliae
alb omni subjectione Imperial sit liber-
rimum." And. very nearly century
later a formal renunciation of imper-
ial supremacy was actually required OF
a Holy Roman Emperor before he was
allowed to set foot on English soil.
But the imperial idea is as old as
Henry VIII, in whose time empire"
and Imperial crown" are words in
frequent use. Queen Eliza at her coro-
nation was styled Empress from the
Orcade Isles to the Mountains Pyre-
ne" And Empress" she is styled on

English sovereigns had borne from the
forty third year of Edward Ill, or for
432 years.

Washington, Dec. An ugly fight
against one of President Roosevelt's
recent Southern appointments is going
on in the Senate. The contest is over
the confirmation of George Rooster, a
Young gold Democrat, and personal
friend of Senator McLaurin, as Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the dis
tY,ict of South Carolina At the time
of Collector Koester's appointment 1T
was charged that he was an active
participant in a 'lynching bee" in
South Carolina, and Collector Rooster
not only admitted taking part in the
affair, but acknowledged writing long
account of the occurrence for the news
paper he then represented. All the
circumstances were fully explained to
President Roosevelt and the latter af-
ter hearing both sides of the story
selected Mr.. Rooster for the once
which he is now filling.
The Republican organization in South
Carolina, under the leadership of for
mer Deputy Collector Deas, the negro
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee has arrived in Washington
armed with formal charges against
collector Rooster, and also numerous

of the new collector are count
ing upon Senator Tfllman to lend
a hand in the fight, because Rooster
is a personal appointment of Senator
McLaurin, in addition to having on
various occasions attacked the politi-
cal policies advanced by Senator Till
man in his newspaper. There are
numerous presidents in the Senate,
showing that editors have been defeat
ed for confirmation by reason of severe
editorial criticisms upon senators.

Sad Accident to Two Little Girls at
Jennings, Fla.


Valdosta, Ca. Dec. IA terrible &C
cident happened to two little children
of Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Powell, at
Jennings, Fla, yesterday. The mother
of the little ones was summoned to
this city to attend a sick daughter-in-
law, and two of her children followed
her to the train. 1t seems that they
loltered about the depot after her train
pulled out, or else the nurse was so
careless as to leave them there alone.
AT any rate. they were standing on the
track in the rear of a freight tram
when the engine began to back. The
caboose dashed into the little girls and
Knocked them down, one of them be-
ing so badly mangled as to necessitate
the amputation of a limb close to the
tblgh. The other child was badly in
Jured, but may recover.
The mother had hardly reached this
city when telegram came notifying
her of the accident, and she returned
at once through the country. Medical
attention from this city, Jasper and
Jennings attended the little sufferers,
but there was no hope for the recovery
of the younger of them. The children
were and years of age, respective
~, and when the mother left she eau
toned the nurse and even telegraphed
for her older daughter to come up from
Jasper and remain with them until she
could return, their father being de-
tanned at his store.
