sheriffs office and the pursuit began. The
posse of deputy sheriffs soon Joined
by a number of citizens. According to the
late reports Tracy was concealed in a cabin
on the banks of Squak slough, two miles
from Bothell. When the posse came in
sight Tracy began firing. Williams and
Raymond were both hit. Tracy then re-
treated and concealed himself in the cabin.

at Tracy, but does not know whether he
hit him.

followed he killed Policeman F. e Dreese

Nineteen Hundred Liars.

Many of our older people remember
that good and rather quaint man, the
Rev. ]. Wesley Barr, who was wont in
every PRAYER, to utter this chunk of wis
dom: "Let US thank God that it is as
well with US as it is" Many of our older
people remember, too, when Wess ran
for clerk of the court Edgefield was a
tremendous county in those days and
Wess. was energetic and indefatigable in
canvassing; and his plan, unwise as it
turned out, was to pop it to every man in
this way: will you vote for me when
the time comes ?" Edge6eld men being
born polite, every man of course said ::
"Yes, certainly" And then Wess, straight
way put his name down in little book.
A few days before the election the Rev.
Mr.. Bars little book contained the
names of 2,200 highly respectable citizens
of Edgefeld. And Wess. was peaceful
and iubilant, and to use one of his own
revival phrases, considered himself as
"safely landed on the banks of sweet de-
iyerance." But when the election was
over and the votes were counted, Wess
had got only three hundred votes. Then
Wess. used some words known only in
profane history, and cried out: "Grea1

hundred such internal liars in Edgeheld

Henry NJ. Wiltse, in the July Lippin-

my friend Captain Lyerly, who ought to
know, lives man who is noted for his
love of ease, but whose wifeis sufficiently
hustler to almost make up for lis
chronic disinclination to activity.
One cold night he went to bed, leavin g
some bags of grain out of doors which
should have been placed in the barn for
protection against the weather, to say
nothing OF thieves But then, they don't
have many thieves in Georgia.
During the night the hero of this story
awoke and thought that he heard some
thing which sounded like rain. He was
anxious to know whether it was raining
or not, for if it were he wanted an op-
portunity to worry about that grain, or
perhaps hint to his wife and then 60 to
sleep while she slipped out and attended
to it.
He thought the matter over for some
time and then hunched the good woman.
