How "A Laurens County Man VIII Get
the Best of the Rodents.

thC nCSt
Dublin, Ga, April 5.-Mr. C. C. Holland,
who lives near Dublin, has invented a
unique and at the same time very eff
fective rat trap. His method of catching
rodents is to take an ordinary wash pot
and fill it about half full of water. on
top of this he places enough cottonseed
to hide the water from view. AT each
end of the pot he places an upright piece
of wood, across the top of which is a
fiutter mill Directly over the futter
mill is a piece of cheese or burned meat.
The rats, in order to get at the bait, run
on the f1utter mill, which turns over,
throwing them into the water. Mr.. Hol-
land by this method caught five rats Nom
day night, seven Tuesday. three Tuesday
night thirteen Wednesday and five We'd
nesday night.
The County Commissioners have had a

twenty-nine are on the west side; one is
river bridge and two are line bridges.
The total length of the bridges, in feet,
is IL S54. The longest bridge in the ooIn-
ty is 1890 feet in length and the shortest
one thirty feet long.

A BUDGET FROM CAROLINA.
Controversy Between state ana
County Dispensary Boards.


Columbia. S. c., April 5.-The courts
will be asked to decide whether the State
Board of Control or the county boards
shall appoint the beer dispensers. Under
an act of the last Legislature the State
Board decided 1t had that authority and
privilege, while the Attorney General
rules that the County Board has the
right. The question came up from
Charleston, the County Board claiming
the right under the decision of the At
torney General. Rather than have a
fight over the matter, the State Board
will wait for action by the courts.
To Encourage sports.
An association headed by Col T. j.
Cunningham, Mr.. j. T. Martin and MIR.

THE WHITLEY KILLING.
Indictments Found i'm United states
Court Mt Augusta.


Augusta, Ga, April 5.-The United
States Court will prosecute the slayers
OF Deputy Marshal Whitley and not
leave the case to the state courts. The
grand jury in the United States Court
found true bill to-day against Henry
Adam Scott, Walter Scott, alias Walter
Murray. charging them with conspiracy
to murder and resisting an officer.
This is a surprise to many who had
thought the crime of murder could not
be tried in this court. but 1t develops
that the court has jurisdiction in cases
where murder was committed in carry
ing out conspiracy. The Federal Court
can try cases of murder committed on
the high seas. at navy yards, or other
places where the government has exclu-
sive control, and where 1t is in carrying
out a conspiracy to resist the enforce
ment of Federal laws.
The first count charges that the defend
ants formed a conspiracy to injure, OPP
press and intimidate Alexander S. White
ly and William A. Hoss in the free exer-
else and enjoyment of the rights granted
by the constitution to serve warrants
free from bodily harm and injury; and
other counts set out the killing.

NORTHERN ON THE SALOON.
HE is NOT A CANDIDATE ron THE
SENATE.

Had Rather Help Wipe Ont Liquor
ator-The Church Able to Take
Care of Itself, and the Democratic
Party Can BE just as Well Run by
Those who Have heretofore Been
Inactive ms by Those Who Have
Been Prominent Only for Evil.
Atlanta, April 5-Ex-Gov. North
en- returned to the city to-day
after spending several days fish
ing at Lake Park. He emphatically de-
MED the report that he is candidate for
the Senate With reference to the ru-
mors that have been published regarding
him within the last few days, he said:
''As l have been absent from the city
since the adjournment of the Baptist Con-
vention. 1 was in total ignorance of the
stir created in the newspapers because
of the temperance report adopted by the
convention until 1 received two kilograms
from city papers, asking if l would be a
candidate for the United States Senate on
the Prohibition platform. The words of
my reply, in both instances, were wasted,
and I was made to appear to be prac-
ticing duplicKy. 1 desire now to say:
First. In terms most emphatic and
beyond question, that I am not a candi-
date for the Senate, nor will l be at any
time later on. AS matters now stand,
would rather be an humble factor in CO.
operation with the good people of this
state in wiping out the saloons than wear
all the honors possible in the Senate I'M
interrupted for a lifetime.
Second. The Baptist people of this
state have placed me at the head of their
Committee on Temperance. I have &C
cepted the position. l am not a temper
ance fanatic, but I candidly believe the
whisky traffic is the monster iniquity of
the ages, and by the grace of God and
the help of the people, am going to do
my very best to remove the blot from
the life of the state.
Third. Will you say for me, I have
no fears to be aroused by the political clap
trap about the church's interference with
affairs of state, religious conventions be-
ing turned into political organizations,
the breaking up of the Democratic party
by the organization of a separate party,
etc, etc.
1.-The church is as well able TO care
for itself as those on the outside, and
the Democratic party can be quite as
well run by those citizens who have here
tofore been inactive as by those who have
been prominent only for evil. All the
talk and more like it that will come later
on had better be saved as the great in
terdenominational hosts and their friends
have deliberately determined to wipe cut
the saloons, while they preserve the
church and strengthen the Democratic
party. Let us all get quiet and stick to
the main issue, which is, shall the church,
the state and the Democratic party con-
tinue to be dominated by the whisky
traffic and the saloons.
do yo uthink that churches, as such,
should take active part in politics and
take collections as churches to support
political campaigns?"
II do not. The church is in no sense a
political organization. nor Should it be
mare so. This question should be dealt
with by citizens and not church members
as such. Any contributions made should
come from citizens and not from
churches"

CHINESE WOMEN SUICIDE.
Horrible Effects of the Occupation
by the White Soldiers.

by the White Soldiers.
From the New York World
Washington, April "A recent report
at the State Department tells a dreadful
story of wholesale suicide of women in
China. When a Chinese matron is abused
by a white man she notifies her own fam
lily and that of her husband, at the same
time announcing that on a certain date
she will depart this life.
No remonstrance is made, and invaria-
bly, the woman carries out her plan. IL
she did not commit suicide she would be
ostracized by her people and compelled
to change her mode of life entirely
The fate of the unmarried women who
ere mistreated bv the soldiers is only a
little different. In some cases, 1t is re-
| ported. they are killed by their relatives
instead of committing suicide but this
is only a form of self-destruction, as they
are entirely passive in the hands Of their
friends.
So extensive have been the crimes II
the white soldiers that in many villages
and small towns women have practically
disappeared.
II is reported in this State Department
document that In many villages IL is diff.
fioult to find a female person over the
age OF ten years and under the age of
fifty. When the matrons do not announce
that they will depart this life" the sug-
gestion TO do so comes from the husband,
and 1t is said to be rarely evaded.
The report gives the further informa-
tion that the brutalities Of the Russian
soldiers in Manchuria are not so terri
BILE as Ia other parts OF China. II says
that the Russians have been exceedingly
moderate in asserting their power in the
province which they propose 10 annex,
but the same class OF soldiers in other
parts OF the Chinese Empire have be-
haved with indescrbable brutality and fe-
rocity Nothing II left undone that will
add TO the outrages and indignities suffer-
81 by the Chinese
The report makes the point clearly that
no complaint OF the above character was
made against a soldier of this country.

GOVERNOR PARDON's BRIDGES.
School Commissioner who Was Con-
victed of EmbezxIement.

Atlanta, April 5.-Gov. Gambler to-day
granted pardon to w. NJ. Bridges, for
merly school commissioner of Floyd, who
was convicted of embezzlement at the
January term of the Floyd Superior Court
in 1899, and sentenced to four years in the
penitenuary.
The Prison Commission took the mat
ter up, and. after a careful review of the
matter and evidence in the case, reached
the conclusion that the penal servitude
already undergone by Bridges was suffi-
cient vindication of law and recommend
ed executive clemency. Bridges pardon
was recommended by the grand jury OF
Floyd and 500 citizens of the county. He
was ordered discharged from custody to-
day.

Atlanta, April 5.-The Prison Commits
sion has received protest from the Rome
Stove Works and the Southern Corpora
tive Foundry Company at Rome, against
the esta blishment of mandatory at
the prison farm at Mnledgeville for max
ing hollow ware and stove utensils as has
been contemplated. The Prison Commits
sion Is somewhat inclined to accept the
proposition which has been made, that
is, simply for the hire of convicts at the
farm, especially in view of the fact that
these goods are being made in many other
states by convict labor, and large guam
titles of them are being shipped into the
state every year. The commission, how
ever, will probably hear from the parties
making the protest.
