Desperate Black is shot in Butler
 County.
 GreenviIle, Oct. 2s.--(Special)--Ar rie- gro named Will Scott was shot and Killed by Deputy sheriffs Murphy and owens this morning while resisting arrest.
 They had gone out in the country several miles to arrest and bring him In, and owing to threats he had made, in which he declared he would not al- low any one to take him, they went armed. They found him on the Bee land plantation. and as they feared, he attempted to shoot. Both deputies fired and he was killed.
 In July Scott had a serious difhculty with his wife, in which he cut her se- verely. and then skipped before he could be arrested.
 He returned last Saturday and was ordered off the place by MT. Lowe, manager of the plantation. He did not go, so the Sheriff was notified and sent to have him taken.
 It is reported that he was wanted in Dallas County on charge of murder.

HUGHEs, PRosPEcrs.

As the days pass the opinion grows stronger that Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York. will be second choice for the Republican nomination for president. Roosevelt it is evident will have the refusal of the nomina- ton. He has in two public statements declared he would not under any cir cumstances accept the 1908 nomination.
 But his jealous friends. who are Iaregly of the office holding class. have tried foment clamor in which he could withdraw from those positive statements There is a well grounded suspicion that the President is rather well pleased with the zeal of the pie brigade. But no just man will say that Roosevelt can accept the nomination without stuItifying himself
 Roosevelt has apparently tried to deed his popularity to Taft, but with poor success. He may he no more

To Save Expenses.

IhOmaSNlIIo FCDU.
 Several months ago we suggested that Mir Conner send the members of the legislature home and save expenses as he could attend to everything him self. That we knew what we were talking about will be confirmed Tn the fact that the Governor has set aside the laws passed by that subservient body and said to the Southern Railroad Company, you can have two and three fourths cents per mile for handling passengers and I will also allow you a little raise in your charges for haul ing frieght Never mind what the legislature said. I will make that all right and I will not let 'them bother you when they meet next month. The l.. and N. is the game I am after and they must come across. While this Is not the exact words of the agree ment, it is tie meat of it.

Because The Boston Globe boasts of New England pies The Richmond Times Dispatch rears up and roars. 1t declares that 1t will not argue with a newspaper that eats pies for break fast, and then proceeds to dilate on the pies of Virginia as if they were the whole thing. Whats the use wasting words about it? Once a friend was asked what kind of pie he liked best and promptly answered, "The present pie" So a man whose gastronomics are in the condition intended by nature is always prepared to absorb the present pie and stand sponsor for its excellence. We refuse to admit that Virginia or any other state has a monopoly or superiority over the rest of creation in this respect, much as it's newspapers boast of it.

In One Dollar 7s.OOO Microbes.

Leslie's Weekly.
 Clean money" is the slogan of A. Greasy Morrison. who is endeavoriug to create a public sentiment which will render impossible the circulation of paper and metal currency which is "tainted" in the literal sense of the word. He has had some bills and coins examined by a New York bac- teriologist and he has found that one dirty bill, such as is handed you in change by your grocer or butcher, is inhabited by 73,000 bacteria. Coins are less populous, dirty pennies averaging twenty six. and dimes forty each l.. There Is no means of tracing the his- tory of this germ-laden currency; a bill may be in the pocket of a tuber- culous sweatshop tailor today, and in the dainty purse of a miilionaire's wife tomorrow. The number of cases of mysterious illness due to this univer- sal means of transmitting disease can only be guessed at, but physicians agree that it is enormous.

Governor Conner, in his two cam paigns. repeatedly stated from the Stump that In case of the enactment of oppressive or unjust laws, the rail- roads could appeal to the courts for redress. Now that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has seen proper to exercise that constitutional right. the Governor raises a great howl and pro- poses to call special session of the Legislature for the sole purpose of harrassing the railroad: and he has the offrontery to contend that the rail- railroad is responsible for this unnec essary proceeding.

sincere when he spoke a good word for Taft to the public than John Alden was when he sang the praises Of Miles standish to the fair Priscilla. At any rate. Taft is receiving no moro benefits from the Roosevelt interces- sion than standish got from his depu- |ty love maker
 In the meanwhile the Hughes sentf- ment grows among the leading Re- publicans At this stage he looms large, in Republican calculations.
 Hughes has had the advantage of not being either an avowed or a wait ing candidate for the nomination. In the Governors office at Albany he has hammered his way into the problems which confronted him without fear of the future. The policy has paid.
 Undoubtedly the financial intere which controlled and stiil control the Republican party would prefer him to a noise maker like Roosevelt, whose chief characteristic has been post tive genius for keeping in the lime light. Hughes had the courage to go deep into the insurance scandal. although he knew 1t meant dishonor and wrecked character for score of New York financiers. On the other hand. he was not lacking in the courage. necessary to reprovs rampant demagogy by the veto of the two cent fare bill.
 The Republicans. therefore. look upon Hughes as reformer, neither wild nor radical. but one who will in his owu words. work his reforms "decently and in order"
 In this Is his strength which appears to be growing in Republican affairs.

that there are too many duplicates
that there are numerous Washing
tons. while there should be but one.
Nor does he approve of the miscel.

that It is in bad taste to have q

Adam gave names offhanded tn

country and of Canada have not
found II an easy task to give names

have provided an unlimited supply
OF musical names. Perhaps If there
were to be a general remaining a
heavier draft would be made upon
the Indian tongues. some of which
however, are anything but musical.

When emigrants from the east made
homes for themselves in the Missis-

moved by patriotic impulses, used
the names OF American soldiers AMI
statemen. AS the supply was not
sufficient, and as they had been too
busy driving out the Indians TO learn
