JONES' AND WARES SHOALS.
Annual Picnic at Former Place Steady
Development Noted Mt Latter.

AT the close of each school term of
Jones' High School, just across tho
Sa'uda, the event is made the occasion
OF big picnic. This annual celebra ion
occurred this year last Thursday. The
past session of the school was in charge
of Miss Willou Gray, daughter of Mr..
w. l.. Gray of this city. Fully thou
sand people attended the picnic Thurs
day. The principal feature of thu day
was the address by DR.. III, N. Synder of
WotfOrd. In the afternoon Mr.. r.. A.
Cooper made short, but interesting
speech.
DR.. Willie Jones was master of core
monies and he handled t1o days pro-
ceedings most admirably and skill
fully. When one goes to Jones' he is
always Hospitality welcomed. 1t is only
short drive from there up to Wares
Shoals. The casual visitor notes with
much interest the progress of the
Wares Shoals Manufacturing Company
in constructing it's big cotton mill and
developing that splendid water power.
The mill building, a four story struct-
ure, 457 feet long and $50 feet wide is
now about ready for the roof which
| will be on in the next few weeks. This
| done, the interior work can proceed
| rapidly. The excavation for the foun-
dation OF the big electric plant is almost
| finished. This part of the Company's
enterprise is located on this side the
river, in Laurens county.
A magnificent double track steel
bridge now spans the river about half
way between the dam and the power
house site. The canal was dug and the
dam finished several months ago. The
construction Of the balk k-hcad wall at
the mouth of the canal which is also on
the Laurens side is nearing compile
tion' 1t is located just above the power
house site.
Mr.. Dial, President and Treasurer Of
the Company, spends much of his time
at the Shoals. The indications are that
this village will at no distant day have
railroad communication with the out
side world-a facility which will

Supreme Court Decides
Gymnasium Ticket
To Be Regular
Old Central Committee
Acted, Within the Limits
OF Its Authority
Court, However, Declares
That Case Is Within
It's Jurisdiction

Madison, Oct. Both motions de-
nied,-complain dismissed. This is
the decision of the supreme court
filed this morning in the suit OF 5. A
Cook ct al, plaintiff, VS.. Walter l..
Houser, secretary of state. IL other
words the motion of the Cook PEG
pie for Judgment on the pleadings Is
dismissed as is also the motion by
Mr.. Houser for dismissal of the
action for want of jurisdiction. The
effect of the ruling is to settle the
controversy in favor Of the La
Toilette wing of the party. The
court. however, declares the proceed
ings to fall within its jurisdiction, but
holds that the law, sec. 35, statutes OF
1898, covers the case completely. This
is the law that gives the secretary of
state the right to place under the re-
publican designation on the official
ballot the ticket nominated by the
convention regularly called. In this
case it was the so-called gymnasium,
or La Toilette convention. The court
holds that the old state central COM
mittee had jurisdiction to proceed as
it did
It also holds that the decision of the
national republican convention lis not
of any significance as a guide to the
secretary of state" Further it is held
that it is the duty of the secretary
of state to certify both sets OF
nominations to the various county
clerks, but giving preference to those
headed by Robert NJ. La Toilette for
governor
The court was not unanimous, Chief
Justice Cassoday dissenting.

KING LEOPOLD
ASSA|LED FOR
HIS POLICY

Boston, Oct Sizing Leopold of
Belgium was assailed for his policy as
the sovereign of the Congo Free
state, at a public meeting held yes
terday afternoon in connection with
the international peace congress. The
attack upon King Leopold was made
by E. I. Morel of England, who repre-
scented the Congo Reform association.
He charged that the king was person
ally responsible in large measure for
the cruelties practiced on the natives
of the Congo Free state in the terrific
endeavors of monopolistic CONNER
cial organizations to obtain from the
country all the ivory and rubber pos
sible. The king was defended by
George Herbert Head of Cambridge,
England, who submitted that King
Leopold had done all possible to stop
the cruelties practiced.
The congress accepted the report of
the committee Oh the propaganda, rec
ommending that the congress in 1905
be held at Lucerne, Switzerland.
One CT the first things the congress
did yesterday was to adopt resolutions
recommending that all nations enter
into treaty insuring, in case of a
dispute between countries, that the diff
ference would be submitted for set
tlement to a union of all the powers.
