Gen. Funston is to be allowed 10 reap
the reward of his bravery in the Philip
pines. The senate committee decided
Wednesday to recommend favorably
his appointment as brigadler general
In the regular army.
Another step IN the matter of getting
legislation through congress which will
tend to the suppression of anarchy was
taken Wednesday when a bill was in
troduced making 1t a felony to teach or
advise the overthrow of government.
1t also provides the death penalty for
assaulters of the president or other ex
ecutive officers of the government or
plotters against the lives of the rulers
OF Europe who may be making this
country hiding place and base of
operations. The measures may seem
drastic but no measures can be too
drastic for the men who are the avowed
enemies of all law and order 1t is
only by the leniency and yet the strength
of the law that they are even allowed to
live, since but for the strength of the
law and the respect which society has
for 1t they would be torn limb from
limb by an outraged humanity.

6aden-PoweI Says They Have Been
Deceived by Their Leaders.
Southampton, July 29--In an inter-
view General Baden-Powell said he did
not care to prophesy the end CT the
war 1t was easy in such a country
for small rowing bands to elude defeat
or capture. Nevertheless, he was in
clined to think that unless there is an
earlier dramatic ending the Boer re-
sistence will have been COMPLETELY
crushed in three or four months from
now.
General Baden-Powell spoke with
respect and admiration of the Boer as
an individual He said:
"They have been most terribly mis-
led. | don't think that the time is re-
mote when the Boer and Briton will
settle peaceably side by side and cor
daily work together for the good Of
South Africa"
Referring to Lord Miners speech
at the Guild hall, he said that it's eff
fects must be to give an object lesson
in good government in South Africa.
He added:
Lord Miner, to whom the empire
owes an everlasting debt of gratitude,
exactly hit the nail on the head. Once
give the Beers to understand that they
will be governed justly and wisely, the
rest will be easy. Depend upon it. in
the end we will win over the Beers to
our side"

Artistic Quilts, Lovely Garments
and Interesting Pictures.
One of the interesting exhibits of
the Fair is in the Woman's Work de-
partment, of which Mrs. ]. C. Shaw has
charge. A great variety of fine needle
work is shown. Many exhibitors have
sent in exhibits without proper desig-
nation, however, and the work cannot
be displayedtt to the best advantage on
this account. For instance, there are
some very handsome exhibits from
Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Why
these exhibits were sent to the Georgia
Fair is not known. Probably the own
ers make practice Of sending the ar
ticles around over the country. They
cannot be awarded prizes here, how
ever, as competition is limited to state
exhibitors.
There are some beautiful piecework
quilts on exhibition, several being con-
structed of silk A worstei quilt, by
Mrs. Elizabeth Carlisle OF Barlow coun-
ty, an old lady of nearly TO- is stated
to contain S0,250 pieces. This seems
almost impossible but the work is very
small. Another very handsome quilt
by another aged lady, Mrs. Hanil-
ton. contains 1856 pieces. 1t is stated
that the maker has never worn glasses.
Unto. tunately there are mona of the
old shioned log cabin and suniiower
quits which were the pride of our
grauGmothers. Such nave become al
most curios in these days.
There is a great deal of handsome
needlework and the specimens of fine
embroidery and lace work in this de-
partment are very handsome.
The Picture Exhibits.
In the same section are several ex-
hibits by local artists which contain
several portraits and some fine copies
of masterpieces. Among these are por-
traits of the late Gen. Lafayette Nc
Laws and Gen Francis S. Barlow, to
whom memorials are shortly to be
erected in Forsyth Park Among living
citizens whose portraits are shown are
DIR. r. G. Elliott and Solicitor General
w. w. Osborne.
In the exhibit by Miss wilkins there
are some handsome copies of master
pieces, among them 'Millet's Clean
ers," the Quarrel of Russian Noun
taineers," The Golden Land" Nor

c. S. Richmond has a booth in which
is shown some fine work by his pupils

a number of drawings and sketches,
some of which show considerable skill
The part taken in the exhibition by
Woman and Art is not by any means
as large as was expected but much of
the work shown is of high class.
Among the art work should be class
ed the large and splendid copy of Rosa

DUPREE STILL AT LARGE.
Officers Have Yet No Clue to the
Wife Slayer.


The county officers have been unable
to obtain any clue to the negro James
Dupree, who murdered his wife east of
the city, Friday, an account of which
was published in the Morning News.
There were no new developments in
the tragedy yesterday, and no other
witnesses were found.
1t is not believed that Dupree came
into the city after killing his wife, and
the officers are inclined to the belief
that he left Immediately after the
crime for South Carolina. He was
born in that state and the officers think
it highly probably that he boarded
some freight train and left Georgia
at once.
were secured by the officers. An in
quest will probably be held tonight,
with the negroes Bob Anderson and
Lee Fraser as witnesses, against Du
pree. While the arrest of the MUIR
derer is not at all likely the officers
will make every effort to secure him.
The negro is described as tall and
thin with a moustache and defect in
the left eye. He is not we'll known to
the police, or the negroes on the West
Side, and does not appear to have
made himself conspicuous during his
stay of several years in this city. When
last seen Dupree wore a cap and a
black shirt. Although his description
is being sent over the country by the
officers, it is not probable that the
County Commissioners will offer any
reward for his arrest.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-11-10

was arrested charged with serious
crime and was held for the grand jury.
Commissioner Hand at once conceived
the idea that the arrest of the negro
might serve in scheme to steal the
Jail, cells and all from Daphne, whose
people had announced that they would
not~surrender the institution without a
fight in the courts.
He telephoned the foreman at his
lumber camp to have 100 picked men,
a dozen of them steelworkers, with fif-
ty of his best teams, report to him az
10 o'clock that night in Bay Minette
prepared to act as guard for the safe
conveyance of a prisoner to the Jail at
Daphne.
The little army, with long line Of
wagons, reported as directed, and, at
1920 p. m. the procession quietly NOV
ed through this little town and out
the Daphne road. Just as the first rays
of the sun were taking their bath In
beautiful Mobile Bay, on which Daphne
lies, the cavalcade arrived on the main
street of Daphne.
AS the boy was turned in Jail, Hand
and the steelworkers went in with him.
The sheriff began to suspect something
and informed them that they must
leave the Jail. Mr.. Hand told the sheriff
that they wished to remain on the in
side.
WELL" said the sheriff, 'if you will
not go out l shall lock you in
That's just what we most desire,
said Hand.
No sooner had the sheriff passed out
and locked the door than Hand said:
NOW, boys. remove the prisoners into
the, back cells and cut the other cells
down"
After the prisoners were safe the
steel-workers went to work on the
front door. and, in a short time, it was
cut out and placed in one of the wa
CONS in the Court House yard. Every
door and part of the cells were remoV-
ed and placed in the wagons and by
night the odd caravan was ready 10
start on the road to Bay Minette.
While this work was going on at the
Jail another crowd of workers was IN
the Court House despoiling it of every
movable thing. from the judges stand
to cuspidors, and piling them upon the
wagons.
The sheriff in the meantime chartere1
a boat and went to Mobile to consult
his attorney, and when he returned
with an injunction the Court House
and Jail We're only shells. The cages
were empty. for the prisoners, too, had
been loaded on the wagons. The wa
CONS began to arrive in Bay Minette
about o'clock at night and continued
to come in until noon. Court furniture
records and Jail fixtures are piled up
III and around the new Court House
and Jail and the people of Bay Minette
are happy.
The people of Daphne are angry ana
refuse to be comforted. Excitement
still runs high. but it is now generally
conceded that in future the terms OF
Baldwin County Court will be held in
Bay Minette andsnot at Daphne.
