stave Timber Scarce.

Stave manufacturers in Mississip-
pi are worried over the rapidly di-
m%inishing supply of white oak tim
Der, and they are now being forced
to haul the logs long distances tc
railroad points or navigable streams
where they can be shipped to the
points of manufacture. The white
oak timber along the water courses
in the State has been thinned out in
many places for distances Of more
than twenty-five miles from the
paths OF transportation, and the
price of stave timber has been more
than doubled during the past few
years. Slaves which sold at $3.50
per mill-1,200 staves-ten years
ago, are now hard to get at prices
ranging form $3.50 to 1926, and the
indications are that there will be an
other sharp advance in prices dur
ing the present winter. The supply
of white oak is becoming especially
scarce in the Pearl river valley, and
the demand was never greater than
now.

TILLMAN MAY NOT GIVE BAIL.
Application of James III. Ti1lman for Re-
lease on Ball Denied by Chief JUS
tIce Of south Carolina.

Columbia, =. c., Feb. 20.-Chief JUS
tice Pope, Thursday, refused the APP
plication for bail for James II. Till
man, who recently shot and killed Ed
of the court, he said, in such cases %
make no explanation of the reasons
governing the decision. Murder was
the taking Of human life with malice
aforc.hought," he said, and with Inc
oath of office SO recent upon his lips,
he must co his duty and decline tie
application without prejudice to the
case of the defendant"
A multitude of affidavits, covering
the case, with an infnity of detail,
were presented by the state, and a
large number in reply were read .or
the defendant. The state presented a
number of affidavits from Edgetield
people ~impeachIng the testimony of
the affiant Holtzbake, and also declar-
ing that the affiant White was a para
lytic past so years old. The defense
replied with affidavits sustaining the
reputation of H~oltzbake and the COM
potency of White. The state present
ed afidavits from Representative Lam
caster, of S~partanburg, that he saw a
pistol in Tillman's pocket on the day
preceding the shooting of Editor Con
zales, and another affidavit from a Co.
lumbia gunsmith that f. H. Dominck,
of Newberry, previous to the shooting
brought him a magazine of a pistol
and that he repaired it.
Z. j. Watson, of The State newspa-
per, swore to a conversation with
Tillman last summer, in which the
latter requested him to tell Gonzales
substantially that a continuance of
the attacKs would be at his peril.
Watson declined to convey the mes
sage.
c. ID. Black, a railroad man, made
affidavit that Tillman told him on a
train, and again in Augusta, that he
was going to kill Gonzales, exhibiting
the magazine pistol. Robert Latham,
Mr.. Gonzales stenographer, swore TO
a statement of Mr.. Gonzales taken by
him when near by death, relating the
story of the shooting. Mr.. Gonzales
declared he had sent Tillman no mes
sage and considered the matter end
ed. Several well-known citizens of
Columbia, who saw the shooting, tes-
titled that Gonzales made no threat
enirg motion.
Tillman made another affidavit, say
ing that Gonzales had been persecu =
ing him Ior ten years. He denied the
story of a threat told by Watson, and
of other threats.
In the argument the state empha-
sized the point, among many others,
that the language as to the white
feather" did not constitute a threat
when coupled with the fact that at
no time before had Mr.. Gonzales en-
ployed any violence toward Col. Till
man.

Struggled Tools Into Jail.

Lee Armstrong, a mu!atto girl
was arrested last week and placed in
the county Jail at Hazlehurst on the
charge of smuggling tools and as
sisting prisoners in their attempt tc
break out Of Jail on the night Of
February Z. The woman is deeply
infatuated with the condemned ne.
gro murderer, Antonio Dukes, who
is to be executed on May IS, and
would have been hanged last week
but for Gov. Longino granting him
a respite on the ground of Dukes be-
ing a State witness against the al
legged wife murderer, B. Y. Boyd
of Crystal Springs. The Armstrong
woman has spared no efforts towards
clearing the negro and it is claimed
that as a last chance she risked heI
own liberty to furnish Dukes means
of escaping from the gallows.

WORLDS LARGEST VESSEL.
The New White Star Liner Cedric
Arrives in New York from
Her Maiden Trip.

New York, Feb. 21.-The new White
Star liner Cedric, the largest vessel
in the world, arrived from Liverpool
and Queenstown, Friday, after her
maiden transatlantic voyage. The
passage from Daunts rock to this
port was made in s days s hours an
16 minutes. She brought TAP passen-
gers, OF which 430 were steerage. The
external dimensions of the Cedric are
identical with those of her sister ship
the Celtic, of the same line, but by
reason of structural differences o
provide increased passenger accommo-
dations, the gross tonnage of the fer
mer vessel has been slightly exceeded.
With the advent of the Cedric the
White Star line possesses the worlds
two largest vessels.

THE REBELS NEAR CARACAS.
The Venezuelan Revolutionary Army In
Force twenty Miles South
of Caracas.

Caracas, Feb. 21.-A revolutionary
army, estimated at $500 men, has
reached a point about twenty miles
south of Caracas. The revolutionists
and the government troops both oc-
cupy strong positions.
The revolution organized by Gen.
Matos during the course of the block
ade of the Venezuelan coast by the
allied ~warships was recognized and
three armies formed. One, under the
command of Antonio Fernandez, num-
bering 1900 men, was routed near
Calabozo, in the province of Miranda,
several days ago, and it's chief is now
fleeing in the direction of the river
Apure.
The second army, led by Generals
Mantilla and Solagnie, 1900 strong,
was defeated last Wednesday near
Urachiche.
The third army, commanded by
Generals Bolando, Penaloza and Vidal,
which was expecting to meet the first
two armies, arrived Thursday, by
way of Santa Lucia and G~uareans, at
a point about ten miles from PetaIe,
which is situated ten miles southeast
of Caracas, after having lost D men
from desertion en- route.
The strength of the third army is
estimated at 1900 men. 1t has taken
up a strong position, and the troops
sent against it by the government are
also strongly placed.
The revolutionary army is not be-
level to be strong enough to attack,
and if a few days are allowed to
elaspe without the rebels taking the
offensive against President Castro,
who since the conclusion of the block
ade has been receiving reinforce
ments, it is regarded as certain that
they will be defeated.

Mississippi State News
FRANKLIN County Problem.

Franklin county finds itself in a
curious predicament on account of
the suit pending between the sheriff
and the treasurer of the county. 1t
will be recalled that there has been
a dispute between the two officials
over a settlement of poll taxes. The
sheriff has the receipt of the treas
urer for the money and the treasur-
er contends that the receipt is an
error and that the money was never
paid over in fact. The case has
been in the Supreme Court and was
recently sent back for a new trial.
In order to have the new trial it
seems necessary to issue new writs,
and the question now arises who is
10 serve the writs. The sheriff, be-
ing a party to the suit, is disquali-
ned to serve them. Under the law
the corone and ranger would be the
propr man to serve the writs in such
case, but there is no ron and
ranger in the county. The coroner
resigned his Office many months ago
because it did not pay enough to
buy postage for the necessary CORE
spondence, and the board of super
visors has never thought it of
enough consequence to worry about.
Now, however, it will be necessary
for the board to order a special cleo
ton and elect a coroner and ranger
to serve the writs in the present
case.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
1t is UnOficially Reported to Have
en- Out at San Luis
PotOsi, Mexico.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Secretary
Wilson said that the British govern
ment had received advices from n
of it's consuls in Mexico to the effect
that foot and mouth disease had
broken out at San Luis Potosi, and
that the department of agriculture,
acting on the British representations,
had directed Inspector Shaw, of the
bureau of animal industry, to make a
thorough Investigation. DR.. Shaw is
now in the neighborhood of the re-
ported outbreak. Pending his report,
the entry of live stock from Mexico
has been i~nterdicted. There are no
official advices to this government 20
indicate the presence of the disease
on the Mexican border.

Opening OF Veterans Home.

1t seems likely that the Beauvoir
home will not be opened for the vet
Grams as soon as at first expected.
After the purchase was made it was
generally understood that the home
would be opened at once with the
money hat the Daughters of the
Confederacy have on hand for that
purpose, but it is now learned that
Commander Mckay is not in favor
of opening the home until the bal
ance Of the purchase money is paid.
The Daughters are very anxious to
have the home opened at once, but
the money they have on hand is ex-
pressly appropriated by resolution
to the opening of the home and cam
not be used for the purchase fund.

To Start Glass Factories.

1t is probable that the next few
years will bring about the establish
ment of a number of large glass fac
tories on the gulf coast, thus adding
an important branch to the manu-
featuring industries Of the State.
Experts state that the finest quality
of sand may be found on the small
islands in the Mississippi Sound,
particularly Horn Island and Deer
Island, and the question of starting
glass factories is engaging the at
tention of capitalists.

A Costly Campaign.

1t is estimated that it will cost
the man who is elected governor of
Mississippi this year not less than
$4,000 in campaign expenses. The
gubernatorial candidates are spend
ing very little money with the State
press, and there is much complaint
among the editors, who think that
the candidates should publish Off
cial announcements in each county.
The editors are doomed to disap-
pointment, not only as concerns the
candidates for governor, but asplr-
ants for other State offices, for few
of the men in the field are fnan-
ciallyl able to incur this expense.
SO far as the gubernatorial candi-
dates are concerned, most of them
are fairly well supplied with this
worlds goods, and the expenses of
the campaign will not be a heavy
burden.
