Jackson, KY, May 2g.-The town is
perfectly quiet tonight. A heavy storm

twenty-four hours, but all roads are under

tail of militia
Rumor is persistent that the mountain
GERS are gathering and will make an at
tempt to release Jett and White. and the
vigilance of the authorities has been
doubled. The Calling and Hotchkiss guns
are now in places believed to be the most
ADVANTAGEOUS to the troops and for the
protection Of the Jail.
What is believed to be the first accurate
information regarding an attempt to re-
lease Jett and White came in today 1T
is said that several of the mountain des-
peradoes have been riding night and day
since the two prisoners were lodged In
Jail here, spreading the news OF the cap
ture, and urging the mountaineers to be
prepared TO rescue their comrades. The
military authorities here have no further
intelligence from the mountains, and al
though many efforts have been made to
secure something more definite, it has been
fruitless.
1t has been decided to keep an outpost
on all roads and mountain passes, not
only at night, but during the day, This
probably win result in call for more
troops and the field of operations is thus
wldcned.
Attorneys for both sides in the Jett ard
White cases agreed today to allow jury
to be drawn from another county than
Breathitt. When court convened Judge
Redwine, overruIed the objection of Mr.
McNeal Of the defense, set the case for
Monday, June list, when the commonwealth
will make it's announcement. The trial
will not be entered into then unless the
conditions are considered favorable by
both sides.

SUES FOR DAMAGES
Giles the Negro Suffrage Lit
igant Allowed Writ of
Error.
Error.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 29.-Jackson w Giles,
the colorcd man of Montgomery county,
Ala, whose suit in equity to test the val
idity of the suffrage provision of the new
constitution of that state, was recently
decided against him by the United States
Supreme Court, will have two more oppor-
tunities to. make the test in that court
which will come as the results of writs Of
error allowed today by Justice White.
One of the suits was brought to compel the
board of registrars of Montgomery coun-
ty by a writ of mandamus to enter his
name as a voter upon the registration
list, and the others for damages because
of the failure of the board to make this
entry.
Giles is represented by Wilford H.,
Smith and the application was made to
Justice White as the presiding justice Of
the Fifth circuit There is no possibility
of a hearing in the cases before the be-
ginning of the next term of court in DC
tober. Both of the present proceedings
were instituted in the State courts, and
both came up from the Alabama Supreme
court, whose finding was against Giles,
When Giles equity case was decided by
the Washington court an intimatloD was
given that his only channel Of relief was
in suit for damages, and he has now
desided to avail himself of that chance

Calhoun was the greatest. There was lit
tie strength in the presidency during this
period but the strength was in the Sen
ate, and this was the great bulwark of the
government But with Mr.. Lincoln there
was great strength in the presidency He
said that at all hazards the union must
be preserved, RICH, or wrong. THE South
lover the union, but loved slavery more
than she loved the union. Lincoln was
the chosen of God to save the union. Lin
coin might have been a Caesar or Napol-
con, but he was too honest" For four
years Congress did nothing more than to
register his will There were only few
times when the people lost confidence in
him.
The presidents since the war, declared
DR.. Sykes, have been men who were Sc
lected because it was thought that they
could win. They were simply party lead
ers. Speaking of President Roosevelt, he
said he was nominated vice-president to
get him out of the way and now that he
is present he is like what he had once
heard of a Baptist minister, as expressed
but one of the faith" With Roosevelt
he said that no one could tell what he was
going to do next. The present president
makes a good hunter and showed his
craftsmanship when he refused to shoot a
bear that was tied down in Mississippi, but
since then he has shown poor sportsman
ship by shooting negroes into the people
If South Carolina. The reason we do not
get strong men for the presidency is that
such States must be favored that will
bring the greatest strength.
In closing the speaker said that every ma
ton has its ambition, and Il meant much
Is to whether this ambition was high or
ow. Egypt wanted wealth and she got
It., Rome wanted power and this was
given, Greece wanted beauty and she was
given what she wanted. Yet, where are
.hese nations today? Their standards
we're too low. The Hebrews said give us
ruth and while that people have no ma
lion today that are found in the affairs of
every nation.

GOVERNORS PLEASANT VISITS,
At Wake Forest and Littleton BE Found Many
things TO Please.

Governor Aycock left the city yesterday
for Wilson where he goes to visit rela-
tives, his family having preceded him
there.
Yesterday he spoke of the pleasures of
his visit to Wake Forest commencement
and to Littleton Female College. This
latter school he said was in most pros
porous condition and in discussing it the
Governor spoke in the most compliment
tary terms.
The accounts from both Wake Forest
and Littleton are that the Governor was
rendered a most cordial reception at both
places. The people were delighted to have
him and expressed much appreciation
of his presence and the words he ut
tered.

such a system. Southern farmers have

have not used the former as they have the

their personal possessions lie dormant and
depended too much upon the other fellow
to do their thinking. They have for a
uarter of a century pair dearly for their
lack of business methods, and are now
beginning to realize their mistakes. The
present price of cotton is most inviting
to a farmer to try to get rich in one year

his food supplies, but past experiences
should cause Us to hesitate before going

1t is far better from business stand

THE NATIONAL GUARD

The annual tour of instruction at
Camp LakevieW this summer is not be-
ing looked forward to with the usual
anticipation. The officers are begin
ming to expose an uneasiness as to
their ability to take a good" COM
pany to camp. Men are constantly bob
bling up with the excuse that 1T will
be impossible for them to secure their
vacation at the time of the encamp-
ment, and they seem determined in
their decision.
In years past the summer encamp-
ment has always been looked eagerly
forward to as an outing in which work
and pleasure might be combined for
ten days to advantage. But now it is
different. 1t means one continued round
Of work.
The reason for this change is the fact
Of the annual inspection taking place
in camp. 1t means that every COM
pany that has a desire to make a good
showing on inspection must put in
every lick possible at extra drill when
not in the field or on the range. Of
ficers and men alike are nervous until
the ordeal is over. The plan has be-
come very unpopular with one years

f1remen were satisfied that the entire
wholesale district of st. Paul was not
to be wiped out by fire.
Just as they decided that the cold
storage building must be left to it's
fate one of the firemen, Patrick Elem
ing, espied on the roof a bundle of fur
that would have looked exactly like a
ladys muff were 1t not for the fact that
1t possessed two great eyes that gleam-
ed like topaz in the glare. AS he gazed
at the furry bundle, the fireman heard a
plaintiVe meow and the two great eyes
looked into his with an appeal almost
human. 1t was an appeal that the big
fireman could not resist. Although he
knew the roof might fall in any minute
burrying anybody who attempted to
reach 1t in the awful flames. he looked
about for a ladder. But another fire
man, Edward Tracey, had also seen the
cat and his foot was already on the
lowest rung of a ladder when Fleming
discovered him. The two men made
the dangerous ascent together. When
they reached the top Fleming whistled
to the bundle of gray fur and without
an instants hesitation it Jumped on his
shoulder and was borne to the ground
in safety.
