EDWARDS IS NOMINATED.
Eleventh District Republicans In Ken

Somerset, Ky, September 22.-After two days of heated discussion the Eleventh district congressional committee by an almost unanimous vote today awarded the republican nomination for congress to D. C. Edwards, over the incumbent, Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter, former minister to Guatemala Two previous attempts to count the vote had resulted in special meetings. Todays session was enlivened still further by charges made by Hunter men that Judge G. Smith of Clinton county. one of the Hunter adherents on the committee had been "doped" by the Edwards faction to prevent his appear ance at the meeting.
 When the count was finally proceeded with. the committee, by a vote of 15 to l, decided to throw out the vote of Bell county, which, according to the Hunter men. gave Hunter 17o9 and Edwards s9S.

TERRELL WORRIED
 OVER LYNCHINGS
THINKS THERE IS GRAVE oAN- GER OF LEGISLATION WHICH WILL MAKE OFFENDERS AMEN ABLE TO FEDERAL COURTS.

Atlanta, September Ex-Governor Ter rell is much exercised over the possible results of frequent lynchings in the state. and he said on the subject today:
 "The people of Georgia should realize that unless these lynchings are stopped there is grave danger of their leading to legislation by congress- which would take the matter out of our hands and cause offenders to be tried in the United States courts. Of course this would be an interference with state rights, but a republican congress would seek to justify 1t on the ground that the state courts had failed to afford any remedy.
 The governor of Georgia, under our present laws is powerless either to pun ish officials who are derelict in the per formance of their duties, or to enforce the laws against the leaders of mobs. These matters are entirely in the hands of the grand juries and the courts, and over these the governor has absolutely no authority. There should be modih- cation of our laws providing some rem edy, and placing such matters either in the hands of the governor or with the supreme court of the state."

vINpIcATE THE OFFICERS.
Carpenters Vote to Continue to Pay
 Strike Benefits.

Milwaukee, September 22.--At today 8 session of the United Brotherhood of Car penters and Jolners, resolutions were passed, the general trend of which was to support the trades movement, financially if necessary.
 The import of these resolutions is merely the sanction of the brotherhood to con- tinue a fight on the open shop, resistance to employers efforts at disruption of or ganization, and renewed efforts to secure a shorter work day, and better pay in cities where these conditions do not al- ready exist.
 The action was in a measure vindi- cation of the alleged extravagances oi the officers, as they paid out s2oO,oOo In strike benefits since the last convention and the resolutions permit payment oi more money if necessary.
 A resolution providing for the owershir of the national offices in Indianapolis was defeated on the ground that 1t would cost too much and 1t was nearly as cheap to pay rent.
 resolution was introduced by the committee on constitution to raise the per capita tax from 20 to 25 cents. and after much discussion was referred to thai | committee.

SMART RED ANTS.
Nothing VIII Stop Them In Their Hur-
 ried Progress.

From the Hartford Courant.
 On the stone steps of a house on the "hill" are two wooden pillars foot and porch. Recently big black ants have been so abundant and aggressive about one of these posts in which they made their home that all its cracks and crew ices were puttied up and 1t was deluged with an ant-killing fluid.
 Four days ago a tiny snake-like line was noticed between the two pillars. It crooked and curved and looked as if something had crowded through light coating of dust, leaving its trail there. On close examination 1t proved to be a line of life. It was made up of countless minute red ants, rushing madly, some in one direction and as many in another, some turning to the right and others to the left, but all of them all the time holding close to the circuitous route from one post to the other and making the snake line or worm line on the stone step.
 During all these four days those little bugs have been uninterruptedly busy whenever they were looked at night or day. Once the stream was swept of with broom, but w-thin a few minutes the gap was closed and everything looked just as 1t had before. Apparently these creatures are carrying out of the disin- feoted pillar the dismembered remains oi the black ants and depositing them in the pillar that has not been subjected to treatment.
 These small ants are so minute that they are scarcely perceptible except 1T the mass, and they can readily slip in under the base of the pillars where the black ones could not go. None of the red ones had been seen thereabouts until this remarkable procession began its un- ceasing to and fro march. Are they slaves of the black ones, and, if so, who gave them their orders to clean housei Nothing interrupts them; they even re- fuse to be tempted with sugar or scared by water. When little pool was put in the path they filled it up with their bodies and the next marched on.
