building, and if it should be later than
October l to open the session on the
following Monday, using the court
house for the higher grades and the
old building on the school grounds,
heretofore used for the primary de-
partment, for the lower grades.
The contractor stated positively to
the committee appointed to look into
the matter that the building would be
ready for occupancy by October l, and
in view of his statement it was con-
cluded to set the date of opening
school on the first Monday in October.
Some days ago it was believed that
October Is would be as early as the
building could be used, and this date
was accordingly named by the board
as the first day of the fall session. The
work, however, will be pushed rapidly
forward, and it is now certain that the
first Monday in October will see the
school children assembled in the new
structure.

Supposed Murderer Was Found to Be
the Wrong Man. Sheriff Chris
tie Went to Identity.

Sheriff Christie went up to Richland
Wednesday in answer to a summons
from the chief of police of that town
stating that negro who was thought
to be Gene Nix, the murderer of Mr..
W. o. Cham bless, had been arrested

1t was found by Sheriff Christie,
however, that the negro under arrest.
although he bore some resemblance to
the Terrell county murderer, was not
Nix, and he was accordingly released.
A heavy reward is offered for Nix's
arrest, and officers all over the coun-
try are on the lookout for him, but no
trace of his whereabouts has yet been
found.

CARD FROM CAPT. KAIGLER
Declares He Is Sincere in His Adj
vocacy of Prohibition.

EDITOR NEWS: I see that the
ordinary has refused to call an election
on the whiskey question against the
wishes of large number of the voters
of the county, and gave some reasons
for doing so. II 1t was lega. five years
ago to vote it out under the local OPP
ton act why is it not legal now? L
am informed that good legal talent
have given it as their opinion that
there is nothing in the decision OF the
Rome dispensary act, or any other,
prohibiting holding an election in this
county. 1t was mooJed around by some
of the antls that part of those signing
the petition were not sincere in their
opposition to the dispensary as it now
exists, but favored another mode OF
selling whiskey. Poor subtifuge to
use and put up for argument In de-
tense of their cause. l can only SPEAK
for myself as to my position IN the
matter. II is we'll known that L have
always ''stood pat" for any measure or
candidate | advocated, never receded
from any position taken by me be-
cause the bosses did not favor it. new
er waited to see what side the bosses
are on before l took a stand for any
measure or candidate. DaYy Crockett
like, think for myself and act &C
corddingly. l have this to say of the
report as to my sincerity in the matter:
those originating and circulating the
report knowingly and wilfully mlsrep-
resent my motives. You will always
find me standing and battling Tor
measures that will be OF the greatest
good for the most people. Can the
advocates of the dispensary claim as
much? They fall far short of such,
but take from the poor and add to the
rich. The poor reap but little benefit
if any from the enormous earnings OF
the dispensary. If it could be done
why not let the profits go towards pay
ing poll taxes as well as taxes on prop,
erty? Why not let each Individual
draw his prorata share alike from the
proceeds? That would be talr and
Just if the dispensary was established
for the benefit of all. Why is it the
dlspensary advocates are not willing &c
let the people of the county take vote
upon that issue? They well know that
the people are dissatisfied with 1T; that
they are imposed upon and will wipe
it off the face of the earth when tney
have a chance to vote on it. Let JUS
tice be done though the heavens fail.

Makes Last Years Yield Below
That of Season Before.

The annual report of Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Ex
change, which has just been issued
/ in full, puts the cotton crop of 1903 1904

sistipg of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah and
Kansas, has lost 100000, and the group
of Atlantic states, Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Kentucky and Virginia, has fallen
off $780, 900.
Mr.. Hester's report on the cotton

smaller by several hundred and odd
thousand bales than last year and is
less by 1902, 900 bales than the crop of
1898-99, which was the largest ever

SENATE HELPS THE FAIR.
Passes the Bill Appropriating SO,
000,O00-T Close Sunday.

After listening to speeches by Senator
Hopkins and Senator Clay in support Of
the Panama canal treaty, the senate
Monday passed the bill granting assist
anee to the proposed Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland. The bill was
amended so as to close the exposition on
Sundays, and the provision for per-
manent memorial to Lewis and Clark

When the bill appropriating $4,000
900 for the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland was reached Senator Gal
linger suggested that the bill 60 over.
"Why?" asked Senator Mitchell
"You may as we'll let it pass now as al
any time"
Senator Gallinger withdrew his obiec-
ton.
Senator Bailey entered formal OBJ
lection to the passage of the bill but die
not press it.
Senator Platt OF Connecticut offeret
an amendment prohibiting the opening
of the exposition on Sunday, and it wa
agreed to, rs to IL.

CHANGE IN BUSINESS.
Taylor & Jarman Have Sold the
Weston Fair Store.

Taylor & Jarman have sold the Wes-
ton Fair Store to F. F. Humeston. The
change was made last week, in speaking
of which, the Weston Leader says Of the
managers of the Athena Fair Store:
Messrs. Taylor & Jarman retire and
are succeeded by F. r. Humeston. The
retiring firm opened the Fair Store at
Weston in June, 1899, and by their en-
terprise and square dealing built up a
large business from small beginning.
In fact, the old saying, "Large oaks
from little acorns grow" is applicable
here. After getting the Weston store
safely under way they established a
similar business at Athena, which has
also had remarkable growth under
Mr.. Jarman's management. Mr. Tay-
lor remained here, and only i'll health,
from which he has suffered the past
year, prevents him from continuing the
business in which he has been so sue
cessful. Rest became imperative, how
ever, and he will now take vacation.

homestead without his proof being in
vestigated by special government
agent. In many ways this resembles
the strict ruling instituted last year in
Oregon, when the timber and stone
entry frauds were disclosed.
Separate orders were received for
special agents and for registers and re-
ceivers. Where an entryman gives no.
tice of intention to make final proof, the
land Office is required to send the spec
ial agent notice in all instances where
the claimant intends making his final
proof before any commissioner or officer
other than the register and receiver. II
the special agent is not thoroughly
satisfied that the claim is a bona fide
one he must be present at the examin-
alton and make full investigation.
The register and receiver may accept
final proofs under the new regime with.
out the presence of the special agent,
or without notifying him, but the strict
est examination is enjoined, with an ad.
monition to summon the special agent
where any doubt at all exists.
The rulings will work all kinds o.
havoc in the Walla Walla district
where hundreds Of claims are being
held without actual residence. Sidney
Miller is special agent for this district
with headquarters at Lewiston.

CAUSE is UNKNOWN
MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE
RosENzwEIG FIRE.
Residence Saved by Prompt Work
of the Fire Depart
ment,

Fire that broke out in store room at
the Rosenzweig residence Saturday eve
ming came near destroying the home.
AS it is, the back portion of tho house
is charred wreck that will have to be
rebuilt.
The cause of the conhagaration will
ever remain a mystery The fire origin
ated in small room used for storage
purposes. 1t is located on the west end
OF the back porch Of the residence. In
it was stored couple Of trunks, cloth
ing, papers, odds and ends that natural
ly accumulate in every household, aud
as no one Of the family had been in the
room for hours previous to the discov-
cry of the fire, only theory can be ad-
vanced as to cause.
This room and the entire back portion
of the kitchen was a roaring mass of
flames, when the noise attracted the at
tention of Miss Elsa Rosenzweig, s.he
only member Of the family who had not
retired for the night. She was met at
the door by sheet Of flame and smoke.
Arousing the family, she gave the alarm
in the street, and a. this juncture d. B.
Jarman, who had also discovered the
fire, arrived. Though nearly suffocated
and blinded by heat and smoke, Mr..
Jarman stood in the dining room door
way, and with a stream of water from a
small garden hose, kept the fire from
eating its way into the kitchen until the
fire department responded. The. boys
Of Hose 90. No. ! ''looked good' to
Dan as they came rushing through the
dining room and relieved him and Wm.
Mosgrove just as the flames broke
through window from the outside. A
few dashes of water made the interior
safe, temporarily, and the firemen turn
ed their attention to the little store
room and the outside of the dwelling.
Mr.. Rosenzweig showed his faith in
the efficiency of the fire department,
when before its arrival he requested
that furniture and household goods be
not removed from the house, asserting
to those willing to aid in the work, that
"the boys will soon be here and put the
fire out quickly" After the fire was
out Mr.. Rosenzweig kindly thanked the
fireman and others for their good work.
He only carried $400 insurance on the
residence, and through an oversight
insurance on the household goods had
been allowed to lapse some three weeks
ago, therefore the loss would have been
considerable had the fire reached the
interior of the building.
