FranEan Taylor, former citizen of
Pickens, who has been living in Nor h
west Georgia for II years, has lately
been visiting scenes of former days and
renewing old acquaintances. He formerly
hunted over the very hills on which
PickeDs is located, and drank water from
Stewart spring, within the corporate
limits. He has not been in Pickens for
lG years and finds wonderful changes.
Mr.. Taylor has recently located in
Oconee county, near Seneca.
The protracted services at the Presby-
terian church closed last Sunday night.
During the week Rev. j. Lowrie Wilson,
of Abbeville, preached able and forceful
sermons twice daily, except Tuesday
prevented services being held. Mr.. Will
son is an earnest and eloquent divine,
and it Is deeply regretted that the con,
stant rains interfered with the meeting,
and caused the attendance to be so small
Our people will be glad indeed to have
another opportunity to hear him under
more favorable weather conditions.

NAUGHTY BRIToN FINED.
His Hauteur Cost Him $25 and
Chauffeur $25.


Pittsfied. Mass, Sept. 26.-Hugh
Gurney. third secretary of the British
embassy, was to-day fined i'm the Po-
lice Court at Lee on two charges.
For contempt of court he was fined
$25. A similar fine was imposed in
a case charging him with speeding his
automobile in Stockbridge Sunday.
Mr.. Gurney when arraigned. posi-
lively refused to plead. claiming that
as "he was the third secretary to his
Britannia majesty. he could not under
international law be arrested or held
foE any crime"
Special Justice Phelps said he did not
recognize international law in his court
and informed the defendant that he
must enter a plea. Mr.. Gurney per-
sisted in his refusal. Then a fine was
imposed for contempt of court.
Mr.. Gurney did not have in his pos
session sufficient money to pay the fine
and he was committed in charge of
the officer who made the arrest. The
officer accompanied Mr. Gurney to
Lenox, where the money was secured.

MAY GET INTO TROUBLE
BECAUSE THEY FINED HIM.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Notice of the
action of the special justice in finding
Mr.. Gurney was received at the State
Department to-day in a telegram from
Mr.. RailSes, first secretary of embassy,
who is at Lenox. The department im-
mediately transmitted this telegram in
substance to the Governor of Massa-
chusetts, with the suggestion that he
do whatever might be necessary to Sc
cure the diplomatic immunity of Mr..
Quincy.
1t is believed at the department that
the matter may be far more serious
than the local officials at Lee seem to
regard it, Federal law provides for the
fine and Imprisonment of officials con-
cerned in the arrest of any public
minister or his servant.
1t will remain for the Governor of
Massac chusetts to take initial action in
this case, which will require prompt re-

the Case, if Necessary, to tho

Atlanta, Sept. 26.-The Railroad
day as the result of the injunction suit
to prohibit the enforcement of the re-
duced rates announced in circulars 301
and 302. 1t was decided that Attorney
General John c. Hart should be called
upon to make answer for the commits
sion and fight the case in it's behalf.
With him will be associated W. A.
Wimbish, attorney for the Atlanta
Freight Bureau, who conducted the
proceedings before the commission.
A conference was held between the
members of the Railroad Commission
and committee from the Atlanta
Freight Bureau. headed by President
Newell.
1t was agreed at the conference to
fight the injunction proceedings to the
end.
The conference with the commission
followed a meeting Of the Freight Bu-
reau, at which it was decided to make
an aggressive fight. Commissioner
Warner Hill said: 1--WE tried to ad-
just this matter of freight rates

it is a fuss the roads want, why l
guess we will meet them at Philip

Chairman Pope Brown stated that
the commission would fight the injunc-
tion proceedings to the end. even if 1t
was necessary to take the case to the
United States Supreme Court. The
other members of the commission are
also determined that there shall be
fight.
1t was announced that the commits
sion will not be daunted by the injunc-
tion, but will continue the work on these
port rates. Offering reduction of the
present tariffs, so that the injunction
may be made to cover all, and by
this means settle the entire matter at
one and the same time.
Gov. Terrell said of the matter:
Il am absolutely confident that the
Railroad Commission has not over
stepped its province. and I am sure
that the commission will be upheld by
the courts in the PRONUNCIATION of the
circulars issued"
Speaking of the Savannah complaint.
Commissioner Joseph NJ. Brown said
the reason why the rates from Allan
ia were reduced first was that Atlanta
was the only city which had entered
complaint. No complaint CT existing
rates has come from Savannah or any
other point, he said. Nevertheless, it
was the intention of the commission to
put all points on the same basis as
soon as possible.

GEORGIA MARRIAGES
SAID TO BE ILLEGAL.
Statement That Those Contracted

Statement That Those Contracted
Since 1854 Not strictly Lawful.
Augusta, Sept. 26.-An attorney here
has discovered that there existed in
Georgia many years ago, and in force
as late as 1854. a law requiring every
male applicant for a marriage license
to give a bond to the county, showing
that he was financially able to properly
support the woman he was intending
to marry. At different times a diff
ferent sum was named, ranging from
500 pounds sterling to $500.
Later research revealed that this law
was never repealed and consequently
that all marriages made since "a are
not strictly legal.
Prominent attorneys say that all
kinds of legal complications may en-

Roosevelt VIII Begin That Peace

Washington, Sept. 26.-President
Roosevelt's announcement on Saturday
to the delegates of the Interparliamen-
tary Union that, at an early date, he
would invite the nations of the world
to send delegates to second peace
conference, whose work should be sup
Elemental to that of the conference at
The Hague, is regarded as an advance
toward the adjustment of international
difficulties through the medium of ar
bitration.
Quite naturally, the question arose
as to how soon the President might
call the conference. He did not indi-
cate in his address the probable time
of his issuance of the call, but ii can
be stated that he will not await the
conclusion of peace between Japan and
Russia, both signatores to The Hague
convention, before issuing his call. It
Is his present intention in about six
weeks to bring the matter to the at
tention of the nations of the world,
with a view to ascertaining their de-
sires as to the time and place OF hold
ing the second conference.
These preliminary inquiries will be
made through the State Department.
AS soon thereafter as the replies re-
ceived shall warrant, the President will
issue his formal call for the confer
ence, which will probably be early in
the coming year.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-No ad-
ditional deaths of injured have occurred
to-day and the death list of the South
ern wreck near Newmarket on Satur-
day last still stands at sixty-two.
All of the injured at the Knoxville
well, and only four or five are so des-
perately wounded that death may re-
suit from their injuries.
A body which was identified early
Sunday morning as that of D. S. Fox
of Birmingham, Ala, and sent to that
city was returned here to-day ac-
companied by two brothers of MIR. Fox.
The body supposed to have been that
of d. S. Fox turned out to be that of
j. M. Daily of Detroit Mich. who
Travelled Tennessee and Kentucky for
d. M. Ferry & Co. The brothers of
Mr.. Fox went to the morgue and iden-
titled a body there as that of their
brother. The mistake must have been
made by searchers at the wreck, who
put Mr.. Fox's papers in the pocket of
the Daily body. Mr.. FoXs remains
were shipped to Birmingham tonight
No less than twelve funerals of vic
Tins of the wreck were held in this
city to-day. One was "a double fun

0YAMA is WAITING TO
CONCENTRATE TROOPS.
He Will Soon He Ready to Move
Against the Russians.


St. Petersburg, Sept. 26.-5 p. m.-
The cause of the extreme deliberation
in the Japanese advance on Mukden
was explained by a dispatch received
from Gen. Kuropatkin this afternoon,
which indicates that Field Marshal
Oyama has not yet concentrated his
forces. Fresh troops are constantly ar
irving at Bentsiaputze, while others,
which recently reached Lao Yang, are
marching up the Taitse river to Sian
chan. These reinforeements presum-
ably come from Japan.
AS soon as the fourth Japanese army
at Sianchian is sufficiently strong, it
is now evident. the Japanese intend
to resort to their favorite fianking
tactics, move formidable array
against Kuropatkin's left and compel
the evacuation of Sintsintin. They are
evidently reconnoitering the ground
over which the Sianchian army will
march up and cross the river.
Meanwhile Gen. Kuroki is trying to
seize and cross the Hun river far east
of Mukden. Thence he will move down
the river and cooperate with the
fourth army from Sianchan, while
GenS. Oku ana NO0Zu engage kurO-
patkin's attention south of Mukden
The attack on Da pass and Santungku
Sept. 20 were the first symptoms of
this flanking movement.
Kuropatkin now reports that Japa-
nese scouts have been encountered near
the Hun river. half way to Mukden,
trying to seize Kaouton pass, ten miles
northeast of Bentsiaputze, in order to
clear the way to Fushun, and that
Oku's and Nodzu's outposts have been
engaged in skirmishing with Cossacl1s
near Inpu. between Bentsiaputze and
the railroad.
After reviewing the troops at Odessa,
the Emperor will go to Kishineff and
bid farewell to the Fourteenth division,
famous for its passage of the Danube
under Gen. Dragomiroff The latter
probably will attend the ceremony
Gen. Dragomiroff is greatly enfeebled
in health, which may render impossi-

of staff of Grand Duke Nicholas.

ASSASSINS OF Won PLEHvE
Are Said to Have Been Directed
From Switzerland.

From Switzerland.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 27, 1:45 a. m.-
While some of the features of the plot
which eliminated in the assassination
of NJ. Won Plehve, the Minister of the
Interior, still, battle the police, the au-
thorities profess to be now perfectly
certain that the conspiracy was hatch
ed in Geneva by half a dozen Rus
slams, mostly Jews. The authorities
know the names and addresses of the
conspirators, but are unable to take
legal action against them owing to the
failure of the laws of Switzerland TO
interfere with political refugees, and,
therefore, Russian terrorists are at lib
erty from their haven in the Alps to
continue the work of assassination of
Russian ministers, so long as they are
able to find emissaries willing to risk
their lives, the organizers never ven
turing to carry out their own designs.
Six men who engineered the Plehve
plot, according to the result of the
Russian police investigation, are de-
clared beyond the shadow of doubt to
have organized a series of political
crimes.
For the first time the fact is now
revealed that NJ. Plehve's murder has
been preceded by four abortive at
tempts to encompass his death, which
the department of political police
frustrated in the nick of time by the
arrest of the would-be assassins, who
were quietly imprisoned.

WITH RAZOR AND PISTOL
Carmichael Started Upon His Mis-
sion of Murder and Suicide.

Carmichael Started Upon His Mis-
sion of Murder and Suicide.
Winston Salem. N. c., Sept. 26.-One
of the most horrible tragedies in the
history of Forsyth county occurred at
Z o'clock this morning at Kernesville,
this county. Louis F. Carmichael, a
carpenter by trade, aged GA years, kill
ed his wife, aged so years, seriously
wounded his 12-year-old step-daughter
and then cut his own throat with
razor and shot himself with a pistol.
The weapon was fired four times,
three balls taking effect on the right
side of the head. He lived until 10:30
o'clock, but was never conscious after
the tragedy.
Mr.. Carmichael and his wife separat-
ed several weeks ago. Yesterday he
went to her home, near the passenger
depot, and told her that if she did not
consent to live with him again he
would kill her before tonight. After
eating breakfast this morning at the
home of his sister, Mrs. A. Lewis, he
took a razor and pistol and went di-
rect to the home of his wife.
When the husband entered the kitch-
en- the wife was over the stove prepar-
ing breakfast for herself and children.
It is presumed that she again refused
another request to live with him, and
that he thereupon took the razor and
cut his wifes throat, nearly severing
her head from her body. The wife ran
out in the yard and fell upon the grass,
where she expired in few minutes.
Carmichael then turned upon Miss
Dwiggins, his wife's youngest daugh-
ter, with the razor, cutting two severe
gashes on her breast. He then used
the razor and pistol with fatal effect
upon himself.
Those who talked with Carmichael
short while before the crime was COM
mitted say he was sober. The impress
sion is general here that no sane man
could have committed such crime.
Carmichael will be buried in the
Methodist Cemetery here tomorrow.
The attending physician says he sees
no indication Of symptoms that VIII
prevent the recovery of the girl.

QUESTION OF C0NTRABAND
NOT RAISED AGAIN.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 26-Neither the
United States nor Great Britain has
yet renewed diplomatic representations
to Russia on the question of contra
band.
1t is hardly believed here that either
the United States or Great Britain pur-
poses to allow the matter to rest in it's
present aspect While the Washington
government won "a distinct victory in
the decision of the commission regard.
ing contraband, it is thought the
American government will still refuse
to acquiesce in the placing of cotton,
fuel and railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone material in the list OF absolute
contraband.
If representations are renewed there
is reason to believe that Russia may
concede the point regarding cotton.
