with three sets of gates of steel bars.
Here and there in the rocky walls
holes have been blasted for windows,
and in these apertures series Of
massive bars of steel have been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor of the
rockbound Jail is Of cement, and the
prisoners are confined wholly In the
larger apartments In some places
the wall of quartz about the Jail is
fifteen feet thick. Some of the most
desperate criminals on the Southwest
border have been confined in the Cliff
ton jaiI. and so solid and heavy are
the barriers to escape that no one
there has ever attempted to make a
break for freedom. The notorious
Black Jack was there for months.

FELONY CONVICT PLAN.
LOwndes County Roads Damaged by
High Water.

valdosta, Ga, Sept. ga letter
which has just been received by Coun-
ty School Commissioner Smith from
tate School Commissioner Merritt pic
lures the idea of working felony con-
victs on the roads of this county,
though the County Commissioners may
look further into the matter. According
to the letter which State School Com
missioner writes, it will cost the county
about $500 a year for each convict
which it gets from the state, and TINS
money will come out of the school
fund.
The county road gang has been busy
for the past ten days repairing the
damage from the heavy rains or last
week. The roads and bridges were
badly damaged by the high waters,
though the damage was not half as
much as might have been.

Speeches of Statesman and General
Given in Republics Books.

There have been two famous men in
America named Sherman. John Sherman
was an eminent statesman and f~inancier.
William t. Sherman was a. General in the
United States Army.
During the administration Of President
Hayes John Sherman was Secretary of the
Treasury and served one term in the United
States Senate after his term expired. In
1897 he was appointed Secretary or State in
President Mckinley's Cabinet. One of his
notable addresses was delivered In the
United States. Senate in 1890 on the sub
5ect, Silver Coinage and Treasury Notes"
An extract from his discourse reads:
This is no time for visionary theories Of
political economy. We must deal with facts
as We find them and not as we wish them.
We must aim at results based upon prac-
teal experience for what has been and prob
ably will be. The best prophet of the fu-
ture is the past"
While General Sherman was not possessed
OF the oratorical powers of John Sherman,
yet when the occasion demanded it he was
capable of making an eloquent address on
matters pertaining to the army or navy. At
the annual banquet Of the New England
Society in New York in 1875 he delivered a
forcible Grafton on the Army and Navy"

on the second floor of her home at No. 1853
Patton avenue yesterday morning at u:3O
O'clock and ran TO Union and Cote Bril-
liante avenues to call Engine Company

The firemen did not arrive in time, how
ever, to prevent serious loss to the house
owned by the little girls father. John T.
Walsh. The house was damaged to the ex-
tent of 500 and the furniture $500.
The house was heated by a furnace. and 1t
is believed that one of the drums in an up
stairs room became overheated and set fire
to the woodwork.
Little Mamie had been sent upstairs to
get something for her mother. As she
opened the door to one Of the rooms she
found II filled with smoke. She ran scream
ing down the stairs. out into the yard and
down the street to the engine-house, where
she urged the firemen TO come to her house,
which she said was on fire.
In response to the chiid's appeal the COM
pany was soon on the way, and although
they worked hard they were unable to pre-
vent the destruction of the home she tried
SO hard to save.

nesses who work during the day and who
cannot very well spare the time to at

To show that the light vote cast for the
Republican congressional candidates and the
corrts pclding heavy vote for Butler was
due In great measure to the apathy in the

cially in the Twelfth Congressional District.
The recount of the ballots in the Twelfth
