NEGRO DEfIED POSSE
MYSTERIOUS BLACK REFUSED TO
SURRENDER HIMSELF.


ozard, June 17.-(SpeciaI.) -For two
months a mysterious negro has been In
hiding in the neighborhood of Nc
SWANS mill, four miles west OF Ozark.
He has been seen on several occa-
sions, and at one time. was so close to
parties that a description has been OBJ
tanned OF him. One night last week
he was in the dining room at Mr.. Har-
mon Windham's, about midnight. Mrs.
Logan of Savannah. and sister of Mr..
Windham, was there on a visit. and
was up with a sick child. When she
went into the dining room with a light
he was there, but she was afraid to
scream until he had time to escape.
AS he went Off Mr.. Windham saw him.
He is of dark gingerbread color,
rather tall, without beard and appears
to be rs or 80 years old.
Hearing of this incident Mr.. J. N.
Taylor of Thrower's Mill in this coun-
ty, who belongs to a private detective
agency, took with him two young men,
Messrs. Whitlock, and went in search
of the fugitive. Tuesday night They
found him on the plantation of Mr..
Smell. and they gave chase. The negro
was armed tsavily and took refuge in
a small house and defied the posse.
Believing caution the better part of
valor, Taylor did not attack the negro
and went away. Sheriff Wall, to whom
Taylor told the story of his adventure,
said this morning he would investi-
gate the matter at once.
The drought continues. No rain of
consequence has fallen here except
showers In isolated localities. since the
first week in April. Cotton has done
well until the cool days of last, and the
first part of this, week, which stopped
its growth. 1t now stands like an UNI
brella, instead of bowling and nodding
to the genial rays of the sun, and far
mers say 1t will grow very little more
until 1t rains All early planted corn
Is past redemption and unless rain
comes within ten days Dale county will
buy her bread in the northwest for the
next year.

money is spent during the camp. In
addition the cash bonus is also expend
ed as the State appropriation does not
fully cover all the expenses of the
camp. The men of the various COM
mands, rank and file, personally spend
much money during the camp.
The committee for the selection Of
the camp is composed of the command
ing officers of the various branches of
the National Guard. The members OF
the committee are Acknowledgement

has not not named date for the recep-
ton of bids for the camp, and commu-

woMAN's WAGES.
Their Inadequacy Becomes More Apparen
as FemininIty Progresses.

Their Inadequacy Becomes Moro Apparent
as Femininity Progresses.
When a woman does the same work as a
man, and does 1t as we'll why should she
not receive the same wages? There ID no
reason why she should not, and yet this
simple act of Justice toward woman Is a
rare exception to the rule. Recently the
office of city treasurer of Haverhnl. Mass.
became vacant, its occupant having been
removed for cause. In this office was a
competent woman assistant of twenty-five
years experience, whose ability and hon
esty had never been questioned, writes Rob-
ert Webster Jones In the June HouBekeeper.
1t was suggested that she be made city
treasurer. when the opposing argument was
advanced that Three thousand dollars q
year is too much for any woman to earn
Besides. there are voters who ought to get
the place" Until the next election takes
place this woman will perform the duties
of the office. whether or not she will
receive the full salary during that time
is not stated, but certain 1t Is that within
a few months she will have to relinqulsh
the place to some man who has been chosen
because of his political Influence" There
is no intimation that she is not fully quail
fled to administer the affairs of the office.
She is a woman. and 1t Is her sex which
renders her ineligible.
When our municipalities are placed upon
the straight business basis strongly ad-
vocated by thoughtful citizens, when the at
fairs of city are conducted along pre-
cisely the same lines those of any other
large corporation, then, doubtless. the en-
ployment OF women in responsible executive
positions will become more general than
at present. There already several wo-
men holding the office OF city treasurar in
Colorado, where women have votes. This
is conclusive proof that the granting Of the
suffrage to women operates for the cor
rection Of the ancient injustice in the mat
ter Of payment for her services. The wo-
men officials in Colorado receive the same
salaries did their male predecessors It
has long been held that the laborer is
worthy Of his hire" When shall we agree.

Sheriff Crawford yesterday placed in
the county Jail here a white man by
the name Of Eugene Kabor and his
wife. Lizzie Kabor.
These parties were brought from ne II

county. charged before Justice Martin
with stealing a mule from a farmer

the home of Willis Walker driving a
horse, and while there their horse died
During the night Kabor and wife got
one of the farmers mules without his
consent or knowledge and had gone
several miles before the farmer found
out that they had gone. Walker then
swore out a warrant charging them
with the larceny of the mule. Kabor
and his wife are foreigners and the
man cannot speak English.
The couple have a badly about ten
months old. Kabor says that in has
country when a man has a horse OF
mule to die on the land of another 1t ID
customary for the owner Of the land
to give the man losing the animal an
other.
The drouth in this section is getting
to be very serious. as all crops are suf-
fering very much.
Riley Geeslin, a white man living in
the southern part of the county, was
troubled greatly by heas, so he fell
upon a plan to get rid of them. He put
pine straw under his house and set fire
to 1t. In a short while the house had
caught and in spite of his efforts. was
destroyed with all the contents.

MAYS BOND FIXED.

tiOn on PeOnRge Charge.
Sheriff Sim D. May of Crenshaw
county yesterday waived examination
before United States Commissioner
John A. Elmore and was held under a
5000 bond to answer to the Federal
Grand Jury, a charge of holding Mat
Youngblood. a half-witted negro wo-
man, in peonage.
Sheriff May readily made bond. He
was accompanied to Montgomery by a
number of prominent people of Cren-
shaw county, all of whom expressed
their willingness and desire to sign the
bond.
The preliminary hearing was origi-
nally set for Thursday, but on account
of railroad accident, which prevented
the arrival of the defendant. the case
was continued until yesterday.
No evidence was taken. AS soon as
the commissioner convened court, the
defendant waived examination and the
bond was fixed and made.
Sheriff May said that the charges
against him were merely results of
political enmity arising over a recent
Tight in Crenshaw politics. He express
sed the opinion that no Grand Jury
would find a true bill against him.
Accompanied by his friends he re-
turned to Luverne yesterday after
noon.
