GRAND JURY IN SESSION
Night Riders Are Said To Be Busy in

With Death.
GRAND JURY IN SESSION

Gadsden, September 21.-(special) =
While on his beat last night just before
being relieved, Policeman VIII Thornton,
who is one of the oldest members OF
the force, was fired upon several times
by an unknown assassin, who was in
hiding along the north side of Chestnut
street, between Fourth and Fifth streets.
Because of the new pistol law the police
man was unarmed and, therefore, unable
to defend himself against such an at
tack.
Both of the shots went wide of their
mark. The officer at once ran to the city
hall and secured a gun and together with
the chief and dogs returned to run the
attacking party down. The dogs, however,
soon lost the trail. and as yet nothing
has been found that might lead to the
identity of the guilty person. The place
where the attack was made is within 4
block of the postofflce and right in the
heart of the city.

1t is reported in the city by ]. A. West,
a prominent farmer of Cherokee county,
that the night riders are getting busy
in that county and have already caused
several gins to be closed up indefinitely.
The gins are posted and their operation
forbidden under penalty of death to the
operators and fire to the property. The
gins served with the notice are In the
Howellton settlement. Saturday was the
most active thus far this year in the
local cotton market. The receipts were
about 140 bales. This is the heaviest sales
at this time of the season on record in
this city.

this reason we do not believe the
people will approve OF the statement
made last evening in accepting the
plans for the new city hall that I'VE
must have confidence in the archi-
tects to look after the small details
without specifying them" This is
the very point where contractors and
builders take advantage of their
work to use inferior material, run in
big bills for extras and otherwise
scheme to make more clear money.
The plans and specifications should
cover every detail, even to the small
est item entering into the construc-
ton. as proposed by Councilman
Bodler, and II this is not done the
door is thrown wide open for graft
and dishonest work In building the
city hall. The people want a good
Job on this building and the time to
secure 1t is before the contract is let
by having the plans and specifica-
tons absolutely perfect. There has
been too much neglect of these de-
tails in other public work and the
people are in a mood to put stop
to any further proceedings which
overlook the details. The council
owes 1t to the taxpayers to make the
plans and specifications for the city
hall perfect and then compel the
successful bidder to comply with
them. The time to do that is now,
before the contract is let. then there
will be no room for criticism. Start
right and you are more sure to end
right.

These were butchered in cold blood

FORCE HUGHES LINEUP
WIN Offer Resolution Indorsing Gov
eFnOr for President.

AOA AECaklNANs
NEW YORK, March Sit is like
ly that the odell faction will seek to
force a lineup on the presidential
nomination OF Governor Hughes at
the meeting of the republican state
committee tomorrow. II is alleged
to be their intention to offer resolu-
tions indorsing the governor as New
Yorks favorite son and instruotlng
the convention to elect new state
committee.
Az tomorrow's meeting of the COM
mittee the call will be issued for the
state convention, to choose four dele
gates at large and four alternates to
the Chicago convention. New York
city will probably be selected as the
place and Saturday, April II, as the
date for the convention.
Primaries will be held Tuesday
March 81. to elect delegates to the
state convention and congressional
district conventions.
State Chairman Timothy l.. Wood
run and Secretary Root will be
among the big Four that will
head the Empire State delegation to
the Windy City,
There Is still some question as to
who shall make the speech nominat-
Ing Governor Hughes. Mr.. Woodruff
wants to do It himself, believing that
to do so would put him In a stronger
position in the fall. when there will
be another state convention and a
state ticket to be chosen. The presi-
dent Is said to prefer Secretary Root,
who, 1t Is reported. Is on the tenta-
tive slate for either temporary or
permanent chairman of the conven-
ton.
The Parsons-W Woodruff forces may
fight to have the election of the state
committee postponed until the regu-
lar state convention in the fall.
In the event of such postponement
the present dominant forces would
be at the helm at the beginning OF
the presidential fight.
Among republican leaders 1t Is the
consensus Of opinion that former
Governor odell win seek to put the
state committee on record regarding
the candidacy of Gnvernos Hughes
but 1t was laid on the table. He
may call up that resolution. or he
may present a new one. because OF
changed conditions.

capture the primaries on March 81

Fears Preparations of Brazil

Man Versed in South American Affairs Saws Purchase of
Dreadnoughts Indicates Coming Trouble-Uru-
quay Domination Trouble. .4s-z-sA

LONDON, Aug. 14-An interesting
story is published by the Daily Chron-
icle today respecting the three mys-
terious Dreadnoughts now being con-
stTucted in this country for the Bra
lillian government, which further
disposes of the strange conjectures
that have been publicly made that the
ultimate destination of these warships
is either the British or the German
navy. A representative Of the Daily
Chronicle called yesterday on a gentle
man at present in London who is ind-
mately acquainted with ali matters re-
lating TO South America and in par
ticular TO the government and finances
Of Brazil. where he has resided and
carried on business for some years.
When the object of my visit" says
the Daily Chronicle writer. was ex-
planned to him he expressed surprise
that there should be any ignorance Of
or doubt as to Brazirs intentions in
e-nbarkins on so costly venture.
1T means war he said. That we
in Brazil have known to be inevitable
for long time past. and the govern
ment has had no more subtle object in
ordering these ships than any other
competent government would have in
the same circumstances"
Not Acting AS Blind.
Then they are not merely buying
warships lfor speculative purposes. as
has been suggested, or acting as a blind
for our own government I asked.
such IDEAS could not occur TO any
one who knows the country and It's re-
latons with the neighboring states as
well as 1 do he replied, smiling, and
taking an atlas from a shelf he opened

Apart from your personal connection
with Brazil, how do you regard her
prospects in the event of war with Ar
genuna? Is her army able TO play good
second TO her projected navy?
Brazil Has Advantage.
Her army-I am almost inclined 10
say our army as Brazil is practically
my adopted country-has an advantage
over that of Argentina by reason Of its
splendid discipline. Rio Grande DO Sui,
in particular, produces exceptionally
hne fighting material. men who, like
the German soldiers. are instinctively
Obedient to orders, whereas the Argen-
tine soldiery are apt to ask questions
and think themselves almost, Il not
quite, as good as their officers. The
personnel Of the navy is equally good.
rs Argentina also engaged in active
preparationS?''
There has been a good deal of sgt-
tation lately in Buenos Ayres for bring
ing the army up to date, but Argentina
is generally agitating for something
and IS by no means in = settled frame

Of Agriculture has issued a statement in

that statements that it viii yield 200
