ing of another person, however, is
notation that McKinnon had a
divorced wife in Denver who has
since been remarked. The case was
not set for hearing up to noon today,
and it was understood that an effort
was being made to have the Miller
woman withdraw the complaint from
the court. In event that the case
against him is to be fought, McKin-
non is prepared for the battle as lie
has already engaged an attorney ia
defend him in the action.

TO DETERMINE
TUBERCULOSIS
IN MANKIND

Paris, June 6-Prof. Roux Of the
Pasteur institute today made public
n process for definitely ascertaining
the presence of tuberculosis in men
and animals. Prof. Valie has made
successful tests of the process on ami
mails at Abort.
This process consists in making n
small superficial incision in the skin,
RI ubing it with swnb Of cloth i'm
prgenated with doses Of the Koch
tuberculosis taken from tuberculosis
cultures.
If the patient docs not have tuber-
culosis the incision will cicatrize Of
itself without doing any harm. II the
patient has tuberculosis, although
other symptoms do not appear, the in
cision will soon be covered with a
knob which will turn into a ustle
analogous to that of vaccination.

CAUSES HIS
ARREST FOR
THREAT

Fearing that he arrived here for
the purpose Of killing her, Miss Ruth
Miller, one Of the habitues Of the
Redlight district, last night swore
to warrant in Justice Johnston d
office charging B. D. McKinnon, a
we'll known Salt Lake City man, with
threatening to kill her in letters that
he had written pre- viously to coming
to Florence. McKinnon was imlne-
diately placed under arrest, having
been taken in tow by Officer Furniss
and then lodged in Jail.
Just whether Miss Miller knew
that McKinnon was expected in the
city ON one of the trains from the
West or not, is not publically known,
but it seems that she was standing in
the doorway of one of the demomon-
DANES on Union avenue and saw him
alight from the train. Watching
him further she noticed him coming
to the house in which she was stopp-
ing.
Running to secreted place in the
house, she hid from the stranger and
would not permit him either to see
OF speak to her. The girl became
terribly frightened over his presence
in the city and lost no time in reach
ing the Office of justice of the peace,
where SHE had the warrant issued for
his arrest
Is seems that the pair have been
engaged to be married but the woman
relented after giving her promise.
Ugly rumors reached the ears of the
would-be groom and ho sent her
threatening letters through the mails
LII one of them, which is now in the
hands of Squire Johnston, lie comes
out openly and says if she did any
thing wrong to cause him more heart
pain and that if she did not marry
him, that he would kill her.
This letter was written early in
\ April and was addressed to her al
Silver Cliff, where she was then
stopping. just what the nature of
the correspondence has been since her
arrival in Florence some weeks ago il
also not know, but it is thought t.
have been of such nature that whei
she knew he was in Florence, tina
it caused her to shudder.

Kinnon as he is said to be stranger

What the Editors Say Abon the Velp Magag1

The first number Of Watson s JEFF.
fersonian Magazine has been greet
ed with chorus of good wishes which
are highly gratifying and furnish re-
newed inspiration to high endeavor.
These generous words of welcome
come from all over the country
from men in high station and from
the most representative newspapers.
1t would be pleasure to repro
duce in full all of these generous
comments, if space permitted, but we
can only give few, selected practi-
cally at random, and assure each and
all that these expressions are deeply
appreciated.
Our local readers will perhaps re-
call the kindly terms in which we
were greeted by the press of Atlanta.
and for the time being we will con-
tent ourselves with an appreciative
acknowledgment of the courtesy Of
these contemporaries.
The words of welcome throughout
the state were equally hearty, and
again we are confronted with an en-
barrassment of riches.
What are we to do?
Well, we will present few Of the
brifer paragraphs, reserving the more
extended notices of the magazine for
another day. The LaGrange Graphic,
for example, thinks that the maga-
zine "bids fair to be one Of the
best ever published in the South. "
The Thomasville Enterprise remarks
that Col Mann's "epidermis is tack
ed to the wall"; The Gibson Rec
ord, scenting the breath Of the mead
ows, calls it ga daisy" The Dub
lin Times remarks that it is Gin
every way superior to the New York
publication, if it was printed in the
South, and filled with interesting
reading matter from cover to cover";
the Homerville News thinks it
Should be an inspiration to its read
ers," and remarks that "Mr. Wat
son has shown that it is his earnest
desire to lead the cause to victory,
although he may go at it on different
lines from some Of us.
Just for the sake of being whim.
sical, we will jump up to Minnesota,
and quote The Gainesville Challen-
ger, which says that "Col" Wat
son 's-save the mark-"new mag
azine" is "well edited and contains
much valuable as well as interesting
reading matter. We bespeak for the
new enterprise the very best of sue
cess" and then The Willmar Trib-
une, of the same state is glad to see
that the magazine receives so much
of Mr.. Watson's "personal atten-
ton"

York experience and established his
magazine In the South and gathered
about him a staff of Southern men.
Watson needs no help in making a
publication powerful and readable.
His style is no less fascinating than
forceful. He doesn't dawdle, be-
cause he is fred with a purpose. Hs
is fighting the battles of the people,
and has been for years. He deserves
support in making Watson's s Jeffer-
sonian Magazine continued success.
But there was never a man 50
brilliant or so well equipped whose
efforts were not made more effective
by the assistance Of able and sympa-
thetic collaborators. Mr.. WATSON
has been peculiarly fortunate in hav-
ing associated with him Mr.. Charles
J. Bayne as managing editor-he of
the classic education, poetic poise and
near knowledge of ancient places
coupled with a liberal experience in
practical journalism. Nor should
mention be less appreciative of those
capable creative artists and cartoon
lists, Mr.. A. K. Taylor, formerly of
The Sun, and Mr. Gordon Nye, whose
work is a distinctive feature Of the
first issue.
E1;+o, C+ox,on -. woe - EJ;+o,.
Ed. Lambright ?-of the Tampa
Tribune, speaks of "the fine install
ment" Of Mr. Watson's "Life Of
Jackson" and the "many contribu-
ted articles of literary merit and
public INTEREST," while Editor Bull
lock, of The Gainesville Elevator, is
good enough to say that "he feels
honored to have the magazine on his
table," and sends bouquet from
the Land Of Flowers to every mem
Der of the staff.
And the press Of Alabama did the
handsome thing, too.
There is the Dothan Eagle, which
welcomes "the only genuine article. -
The Girard Watchman thinks that
"no one can afford to pass The
Jeffersonian by"; the Eufaul.a
Times says right out loud that "it's
a bright periodical, well worth the
perusal of the public" while The
Peoples Advocate, of Columbiana,
remarks that cit is full of editorials
and good reading matter and every
one should subscribe"
The Montgomery Journal thinks
the magazine presents "a most credi-
table appearance, while the "illus-
trations could not be better" The
Montgomery Advertiser remarks thai
the editor of the magazine, "whether
people agree with him or not," has
ga speaking and inviting style which
attracts and holds attention" F"
But there are some other good
things which have come out of Ala
bama, which we shall reserve for the
future.

prove entirely satisfactory even to
his severest critics. Many pages of
the magazine are necessarily devoted
to this subject and what he does for
the notorious hoop-skirt publisher
Of 'Fads and Fancies is eau
tion' The magazine contains over
a hundred and fifty pages and there
is not dull page among the num-
ber. The editorials deal with many
current questions and all are illum
ed with Mr.. Watson's brilliant pen.
He has the gift of refecting his light
In every crevice of subject and
leaves the reader convinced Of the
righteousness of the cause he has
championed.
The Clinton Chronicle Of the same
state, is good enough to put the pub
lie on guard. After remarking that
"Those who have read Mr.. Watson's
writings know how to appreciate one
who is well up to the situation both
in the field of politics and history -
the Chronicle goes on to say: "The
New York Co. are still trying to
hoodoo the people but We wish to-
make this statement so that if there
are any who are thus being deluded
they can right their wrong by writing
for Watson s Magazine, published by
Mr.. Watson himself and not by some
one using his name to deceive the
Southern people. +"
From up in the other Carolina
come some kindly sentiments. The
Winston-Salem Journal "predicts
success" for the ''new venture.
The Charlotte Chronicle wasn't feel
ing very well that morning, thank
you, but pauses to say that Mr.. Wat
son "writes like a streak of light
ning," and that "his sketch of An.
drew Jackson is as good thing as
is to be found in any magazine" ]"
Nothing short of the whole tribute
from that staunch champion Of the
rights of the people, The Missouri
World. "The cover page is very
handsome, but that is not ALT
suggests the great principles of gov
ernment that Thos. Jefferson stood
for, battled for and died advocating
by giving a picture Of Jefferson and
of Jefferson's home, Monticello. The
magazine contains 148 pages of read
ing matter besides many pages Of adj
vertising. 1t is full Of life. In
26 page article Mr.. Watson tells
how he got into and got cut Of the
New York Watson's Magazine. 1t
is an interesting narrative from start
to finish. Although it contains only
a few more facts than he gave in an
article in his weekly paper some time
ago, it is Of different wording, is in
tensely interesting, and is convinc-
ing. In the concluding pages Of the
article Mr.. Watson re-dedicates his
life TO the people's cause in language
