Has Never said He Would Not Ac-
cept Nomination for Governor.
Quitman, Ga, July 26.-One or two
of the daily papers of the state have
published during the last week a spe-
cial from this place. stating that Mr..
! Henry G. Turner had positively de-
clined to let his name be placed be-
fore the people as a candidate for Gov
ernor The Free Press will publish this
afternoon an editorial, of which the
following is a part: THE reports pub
lished in one or two South Georgia
papers this week to the effect that
Capt. H. G. Turner has positively de-
clined to enter the race for Governor,
are entirely without foundation. Mr..
Turner has not expressed himself on
the subject at all. One of the most
prominent men here, who is a close
friend of Mr.. Turner, makes this
statement to the Free Press: While
we know that Mr.. Turner
would not participate in any
governor, he has never said he would
not accept the nomination under any
circumstances. If he could be induced
to believe it his duty to accept the
nomination ! believe he would do So
The Waycross Journal of Tuesday
quotes a special from Quitman in the
Savannah Press saying Mr.. Turner has
declined to run, which this statement
effectually contradicts. The special
was unauthorized"
Capt. John A. Davis had card in
the Albany Herald of Saturday placing
Captain Turner's name before the peo-
pie and the Constitution in their Sun
day issue published what purported
to be special from their correspondent
in Albany in which reflections were
cast on Mr.. Turner. While admitting
his. ability as a statesman the article
went on to say that in political circles
he was considered "cold- blooded" and
stated that while he did not know
what that meant it had it's weight in
politics.
These things will be remembered by
Captain Turner's friends.

STEEL STRIKE MAY SPREAD.

National Steel Company Men Are
Restless and Are Eager to Come
Out.
Pittsburg, July 26.-The Post will say
tomorrow:
A serious spread of the steel strike
is now threatened in an unexpected
quarter. The contest is expected to
reach out into the furnaces in the Ma
honing and Shenango Valleys and
cause complete shut down of those
plants. From these furnaces it is be-
lieved the danger will threaten with
greater force than ever the union mills
of the National Steel Company
throughout Ohio. If it is not checked
at that point the same spirit of union
ism is feared to be strong enough to
reach once more into Homestead and
Duquesne.
When it was announced from Cleve-
land and Youngstown that the Besse-
mer Furnace Association had sold all
of its product for August to the United
States Steel Corporation the fact was
at once taken up by the Amalgamated
officials. During the early portion OF
the present year the American Fedora
ton of Labor has had organizers at
work among the furnace men in the
two valleys.
In the meantime the union men in
the works of the National Steel Com
pany have been restless since the strike
began. They have, according to Pres
ident Shaffer, been kept at work in the
mills with the greatest difficulty. II
the furnace men come out, in order to
shut off the supply of Bessemer pig
iron to the United States Steel Cor
poration, ii is believed that further de-
lay in ordering the strike at these mills
will be impossible

From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
Sharon, July 12.-Since Mr. Anderson
reported having seen a 40-foot snake
in his pasture, berry pickers in the
vicinity of Moose Hill have deemed it
wiser to run at once upon hearing the
brush rustic, rather than stop to in
vestigate. When Mr.. Anderson first
told his neighbors that he had seen
such a snake. they only laughed and
sarcastically advised him to knock out
the bungs in his cider barrels. Since

ed a conspiracy to defraud Western
railroads out of large sums of money

was the leader and instigator, have
been effectually checked.
Rice was arrested on a charge Of for
gerry and conspiracy. He gave bonds
of $4,000. The trial was set for Aug
5. The case probably will be at once

vestigation.
According to the detectives of the
Western Passenger Association, Rice
sold mileage tickets to various West
ern points which were supposed to have
been issued by the Lehigh Valley and
Monon roads. They accused Rice of

vate stamping mill located outside of
