A MATTER OF LOCAL OPTION.

Ballot Reform in Georgia to Rest With
the Various Counties.
The Australian ballot bill was PASS.
ed by the Georgia senate Monday
morning with an amendment which
leaves the question of adopting The
law to each county in the state. II
at the next general election the "a
rious counties in the state, by a ma
jprity vote adopted the Australian
system of elections for that county.
then that system shall be used in that
county, but if the county should vote
against the adoption of such meas
IRE, the county can use whatever elec-
ton system it sees fit.
It is understood that the measure
will be adopted by the house as
amended by the senate. If the house
passes the bill with the amendments,
it will forever settle the Australian
ballot system of elections in Georgia
for then it will be just like the whis-
ky law, entirely local option.

Frank P. Sargent, commissioner gen
eral Of immigration, had conference
in Washington Monday with the repre-
sentative of big transportation COM
.pany regarding the coming to this
country of Immigrants who should
take ND AGRICULTURAL lands in the south
particularly in Texas.
A scarcity of labor in the south, par
ticularly in the cotton raising states,
has induced some of the trans-At:an
tic transportation lines to Investigate
the matter Of diverting a part OF the
immigration to this country to ;he
cotton growing states. Mr.. Sargent
said that the immigration bureau had
nothing to do with the part of the
country into which immigrants should
20, but he had heard of the proposl'
ton to establish a steamship line ,e.
tween Italy and New Orleans, the oo-
ject being to supply Italian immi ga
ton for the agricultural regions or the
south. The conference he had Monday
related to the establishment in Texas
of colonies of Italians who would re-
gin their pursuit of farming Mr.. Sar
gent expressed the belief that des'ra'
BILE immigration into the south would
be of immense benefit to that SEC

A S.. Petersburg dispatch, dated Ar-

The report CT Lieutenant General
Keller's death is confirmed at st.

He was killed July 29 while resist
ing the preliminary attack OF Genera
Kuroki's army on the Yinazee pass
thirty miles east of Lao Yang.
The general was standing near
battery, which was subjected to ter
rife fire when shell burst close 10
him and he fell mortally wounded, dy'
ing twenty minutes later. Before ne
expired General Keller had the salts
faction of knowing that the japanese
attack had been repelled.
General Keller was the first hiSh
Russian military commander to lose
his lie in this war. He resigned the
high and lucrative position Of governor
of Akatoritonoslaf to go to the front
and exchanged with General Zassa'
Itch, who may now resume command
of the first Siberian army corps. The
loss of General Keller is deeply felt
in court circles. He was a personal "a

Two Brothers Acquitted.

The summer term of the criminal
court for Laurens county was held dur
ing the past week with Hon. Frank B.
Gary, of Abbeville, as special judge,
presiding.
Probably the most important case
tried was that of the state VS.. Broadus
and lonnie Lollis, brothers and we'll
known young white men Of Dials town
ship. on the charge of arson.
The trial consumed nearly two days,
over fifty witnesses testifying in the
case. Five able speeches were made;
three for the state and two for the de-
PENDANTS.
After deliberating about two hours
the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. The defendants were charged
with burning the barn of Mrs. N. E.
Owings last November.
The ba.c was located in close prox.
unity to Mrs. Owings' dwelling and
was burned at night, thereby endan-
gering the residence and jeopardizing
the lives of the occupants. According
to testimony the tracks which were
traced by bloodhounds to the Lollis
home few hours after the fire, cor
responded in every particular to those
of the accused. Broadus Lollis has a de-
formed foot, on which he wears fine
soft shoe, Of smaller shape than the
one usually worn on the other foot,
and for this reason it was testified
the tracks were easily identified.
The young defendants, however, sue
ceeded in establishing an alibi, prov
ing that they were at the home of a
neighbor On this particular night, Civ
ing little musical concert, and re-
turned home 1t 8 o'clock, .tan1io IA an 1iour
before the fire broke out. They heard
shooting, but did not investigate the
cause, which they learned next morn
ing was a fire alarm.

Bit Off Opponents Ear.

An alteration occurred a few days
ago between two well-to-do citizens
of Liberty, in which one man bit the
others ear off even with the temple.
1t is said when the men we're sera-
rated both were saturated in blood.
AS the men grappled on the ground
neither made an outcry until one man,
who lost his ear, cried out: LET go my
ear" He was too late, for that organ
was in the others mouth and he was
reaching for the other side Of the
wounded mans head trying to get hold
of the other ear.
This is the first case of mayhem re.
ported in the state between white peo.
pie in years.

Tale Of a Typewriter.

"Hello! This is the firm that lett a
typewriter at your office on trial, and
we think you've had it about long
enough. Are you going to buy it,
These were the words that were
'phoned to a clerk in Allegheny City
Hall recently, and before he stopped
to get his breath he yelled back thai
the machine was not much good any
way. and he had decided not to buy it
Then we'll send q man tonight tc
take it away" came over the wire.
The clerk said: All right, come and
get the old thing
Now, the truth is, that some OF the
City Hall jokers had planned some
fun. and it was one Of them at another
telephone in the same building who
called up and pretended he was the
TYPEWRITER agent. Later in the day the
wag Sent a young fellow, who was a
stranger to the clerk, to get the ma
chine.
I'm here after that typewriter. the
caller remarked, as lie had been In
Structed.
Without hesitation the device was
placed in his hands and lie lugged 1t
at once to where the jokers were III
waiting. Next day one of the young
men telephoned once more and pre-
tended he was the typewriter sales
man.
The reason we have rot called for
that machine,' he explained. is be-
cause we have been too busy, ou1
we'll take it away tomorrow.
Disgusting his alarm over what
looked to him like swindle, the clerk
sasped out. All right and then COM
merced TO worry. Some days later De-
tective Jimmy Mckay was put next to
the prank and asked to deliver tbs
missing property to the clerk and eS'

STRIKE LEADER ARRESTED.
Police "Shut Up" President OF Team

Police "shut Up" President Of Team
sters' Union in Chicago.
At Chicago, Friday, George F. Col
den, of the Teamsters' Union, turaed
strike rlcket, defed police inspector
Nicholas Hunt and met Waterloo.
The inspector, with his club wh.-l-
ing in the air, ran up fight of stairs
leading to Golden's Office, near The
stock yards, and seizing the labor lead
er by the arm, marched Golden to the
street The teamsters' president was
put il charge of a sergeant and sent
to the stock yards police station a
prisoner. Thus for the first time a
chief of the striking thousands was ta-
ken into custody.
Golden discovered wagon owned by
Terry d Co., being driven past his
Office. Putting his head out OF the
window, he called to the teamster:
Where are you going?"
Anywhere please, so long as at
tend to my own business" was the :e-
ply, whcreupon Golden ordered the
driver to turn back.
The Inspector heard the command
and reassured the teamster, telling E'm
to go en- about his business. Then
came a war of words, Golden paving
his compliments to the inspector
Hunt, shaking his club at the strike
leader, declared there would be an I'M
mediate arrest if Golden did not "shut
up" He did not shut up." so the in
spectoT shut him up, constructively at
least, at the station.

PACKERS CLAIM VICTORY.
Plants Are Running with Greatly In
creased Forces and Almost Full
Quota Of Live Stock.

Declaring the strike broken and that
the working force had been recruited
by more than 1000 uel and women,
many of whom had deserted the union
cause, the Chicago packers Monday
began the weeks operation with the
largest receipts of live stock that
have reached the stock yards since
July II, when the strike began. There
were 915 cars carrying $4,000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs and 1900 sheep in the
days shipment from the west, aud
with this supply the killing gangs IN
the big plants were busily occupied.
Assertion that the strike Is broken
were secuted by the strikers as being
manifestly absurd.
Swift & Co. declared that nearly al
their old millwrights and car workers
had returned to work, and further as
serted that the firm never intends 10
take back striking teamsters or barn
men, the claim being made that the
packers had learned to do without wag-
ons. All shipments to Chicago
branches will be made by railroad.
Retailers will take their wagons TO
the branches for purchases.
Among the toilers who reached the
stock yards during the day were no
negro women who were taken to Lib
by, Mcneil &. Libby's plant, where
they will do scrub work in the place
Of the charwomen who went on strike.
A session of the Allied Trades held
Monday morning resulted in Gecis-
ion to delay appealing to President
Roosevelt till all other resources have
been exhausted. The decision was
reached on the advice of Homer D.
Call, who, as republican, declared
he was averse to embarrassing the
president at the present time or ill
other means had failed. There was
much discussion on this subject, 1t is
said, seceral delegates declaring that
they did not care who was embarrass-
ed SO long as the strike, was brought
to a desirable termination.
81 don't think it right or advisable"
said Mr.. Call, Ito bring the president
into this fight at the present time. I
He has troubles enough and too many
people are trying to put heavy bur-
den upon him than any human being
can carry. It is not his fault that
this strike was forced upon us. Mr.
Donnelly brought the resolution to re
asking the president to step in, and I
have thought it over long and thor
oughly, bu. am convinced we should
wait We must be patient il we
would win"
Kansas City Plants Busy.
With heavy receipts at the yards
Monday all the five packing plants ut
Kansas City resumed operations on an
increased scale.
The strike presented no new fea-
ture Monday. The strikers remained
away from the plants IN most cases
and everything was quiet.
Several hundred strikers, by far The
greatest number that has yet applied
for their old positions, presented them
selves at the different plants. Many
were discouraged because Of he non,
arrival of strike benefits from Chtca-
go. It Is estimated that between two
and three hundred of the applicants
were re-employed.

Historic BUILDING Burned

Fire at Camden, few days ago,
destroyed the Lafayette hall, "a large
and popular commercial hotel. The
building, owned by E. G. Won Tresc-
kow, was valued at about $4,000, and
was insured for $4,000. Most of the
furniture and furnishings were con-
sumed, which loss falls heavily upon
Scott Brown, the proprietor, who was
only partially covered by insurance.
Lafayette hall. once the home
of de Lafayette, Of revolutionary fame,
was one of Camien's historic old build
ings, and it's destruction is deeply re-
gretted by the entire community.
