Capt. HepVard in Charleston
He Expresses His Qualification at
the Handsome Vote Given
Him. Talks aboutthe Final
Outcome.
Special to The State.


D. G. Hayward of Colleton pass
ed through Charleston today, en-
route to Columbia, leaving here
this afternoon for the capital.
Capt. Hayward stated that he
could not but be intensely gratifed
at the handsome vote accorded
him, and while he felt highl, COM
pllmented. he accepted it as an
evidence that the great mass Of
voters in South Carolina approved
Of his efforts to conducts his cam
paign on high principles, and
that they were in accord with his
platform ts administer the laws
of the State fairly and impartial
ly and to be governor of the en-
tire State without regard to fac
tional or sectional differences.
81 certainly appreciate the
vote given me by the good peo
pie of Charleston he said. "I
cannot possibly thank them in
person, but l felt so assured of
their kind consideration that be.
fore the recent primary l devoted
my time elsewhere, feeling assur-
ed that Charleston would stand by
me as she has SO Loyalty done. 1
hope to be back here in a few
days and meet as many of nv
Charleston supporters as possible.
Another gratifying feature of the
recent vote was the very liberal
support given me by the mill dis
tricts. l have always been. q
friend to the laborlng men, as
evidenced by the unanimous vote
given me by every laborlng man
who lives in my nejghborhood,
but | have not been in public life
before and had no way heretofore.
to prove it and therefore cannot
but feel that the loyal way in
which the mill districts stuck by
me is tribute we'll worth cher
ishing, and should | become gcv-
ernor will endeavor to prove to
those worthy citizens of our State
that they have net reposed their
trust in me unwisely."
"What do you think of your
chances in the second prlmarya"
was queriedsby the reporter.
''They could scarcely be better
and not be certainty," replied
Capt. Hayward. 81 believe
practically every vote given me
in the first primary will be accord
ed me in the second race. In my
case you see the support was the
spontaneous expression Of people
to one whom they trusted. 1t
was, / take it, vote of love af-
fectlon and respect and they will
be just as ready to give it to mo
10 the second race as they we're in
the first. l have every reason to
count on the supporter the friends
of the defeated candidates. In

"The total vote, you see, re-

last week, work is progressing very
nicely. The strike was made at l2O
feet and at last report the drill was
down IT'S feet and still in jack and
of much richer quality than when
fret struck. 1t seems the deeper
they go the better it gets, and this
is certainly the biggest strike made
in the new district. The drill has
already passed through IS feet OF
good jack producing ground, and
it seems there is no bottom to 1t.
The big oil drill on Tar creek has
had some awfully hard ground to
work, and is not making as good
Roadway as was expected, but they
are still pounding away faithfully,
We did not learn how deep the drill
is, nor whist kind of ground is be-
ing encountered.

the sun rise in the east and get in
the west for "a long years, and yes

parently was her senior.

FROM THE MINES.

Work in the new mining district
has been a little slow this week on
account of putting in new boiler,
pump, etc. The water is very strong
and it become necessary to get an
other pump to beat II. A new boi-
Ter was installed at the Sunny
Side" this week, and consequently,
but very little work was done in
sinking. Drifting is still going on
in the pump shaft, with everything
looking better. The lead is getting
bigger and better every shot, and
everything looks very promising.
Jig tanks have been installed and
when the new pump is put in oper-
alton the new mining camp will
boom.
On the Crawfish land, the jack
strike made with the Joe Bingham

FIGHT IN THEATRE BOX.

According to the statements OF
those present there was a highly
dramatic number pulled off in a
box at the Club theatre Sunday
night, which did not appear on the
regular program.
This Interpolation was in the ma
ture of mix-up round of fisticuffs,
and 1t is said that three men and
one woman figured in the hastily
improvised cast. The curtain had
just rung down on the last act, the
closing feature of which was vii.
lain in the play getting the worst OF
it, as usual, at the hands of out
ragged justice. just as the audience
arose to leave come man yelled
There's the real thing going on up
there" indicating one of the boxes,
where distorted mass of arms and
legs, seemingly attached to two or
three struggling "scrappers," were
beating the air and each other
while resounding "biffs" and smoth-
cred CALCULATIONS marked the pro-
gram of the exciting game.
To add to the interesting features
it is said that the lady who figured
in the scene vainly pleaded with
one of the participants in the melee
to "come on" It seems, however,
that the gentleman thus addressed
was the "under man" at this stage
of the game and therefore unable
to comply with the lady's request.
Becoming greatly excited, it is said
the young woman seized a chair
and after hurting it boldly into the
writhing. kicking mass of human
ity, bolted for the door and was lost
to view.
One of the fighters, whose head
had been reposing beneath the arm
of stalwart opponent while that
worthy vigorously pounded his
nose by system of undercuts, fin
ally gained his feet and started for
the door. To make the thing com.
plete the third actor in the drama
then jumped on the fleeing mans
shoulders, taking an involuntary
ride for several steps.

WHEREAs, The president In his
strenuous wisdom has seen fit to
get apart Thursday, Nov. 9th, as a
day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
Therefore, I, C. w. Daniels, by the
prerogative of my Office of mayor
of the city of Baxter Springs, do
hereby request all persons to re-
frain from transacting any and all
business on that day, and to return
thanks for the many manifold bless
ings received during the past year.
Inasmuch as some of our citizens
and taxpayers would like to know
why we should return thanks, will
enumerate some of the innumera.
BILE things we should thank God for:
We should return thanks for the
biggest crop ever raised in Kansas,
as we'll az the high prices for all
farm products.
We should return thanks for the
favorable settlement of a lot of old
debts, Judgments and law suits
which have been hanging over the
city for many years.
We should return thanks for the
great improved railroad facilities,
our brilliant mineral prospects and
our financial condition enabling us
to pay all city and school orders at
sight for the first time in 20 years.
We should return thanks for the
economical and effective city ad-
ministration of the pact two years,
the suppression of loafers, thieves,
bummers blackguards and vice
generally. and the enforcement OF
the laws and ordinances.
We should especially thank God
for the misguided fanatics who, by
the employment of spies, informers,
paupers and sneaks, closed our on
ly hop tea restaurant, thereby add
ing $1,000 to our taxes.
We should thank the Almighty
and the w. C. T. U. that there are
now no places within the corporate

Gus city where liquor is sold-ex-
cept for drinks and other purposes.
We should than God there is but
one W. C. T. U. society in town-as
there might have been dozen.
Personally, think it is our SOL

The trial of Syndon. the young French painter
who was found guilty yesterday by the Assize
Court of Rouen OF killing the husband OF the
woman whose portrait he had painted, and with
whom he had fallen in love, reveals in most
striking manner the inherent faults or the
French system OF criminal procedure. with lts
medieval inquisitorial pitiless persecution that
has aroused enlightened public opinion In
France to such a degree that societies are rorna-
ing with view to bringing about radical re-
form.
Svndon was ably defended by Maitre Decor
