Browns Speakers Busy

In the meantime the opposition is
not inactive in this respect. This
week it has fifteen or twenty speak
ers in the field, covering every sec
ton of the state. Some strenuous
! work is being done in behalf of Mr.
Brown, whose friends point to the
Governors extreme activity and that
of certain of his supporters as in
dicating the desperate straits he is
in. Hon. A. H. Cox of Atlanta, a
we'll known lawyer, Frank Stafford, of
SwainsborO, former Congressman
Charles l.. Moses and others are do
ing some good campaign work on
the Brown side and will keep steadily
at it until the day of the primary.
In his Saturday night speech in
Atlanta Gov. Smith asserted that he
had the election overwhelmingly won,
and said only few counties would go
for his opponent. He asked his au-
dience not to let Fulton be one of
these. This was his third speech IN
Fulton since the campaign openeL
and he is billed to make another
ward speech here just before the
primary. Whether he will succeed
in changing enough votes to give
HIM the county is problem.

Upon boarding the car he observed
two negro passengers, one of whom,
Thomas Lumby, was in the act of
taking a drink from bottle Of
whisky. There We're a number of
other passengers. including several
ladies. Mr. Hehin says he remon-
strated with Lumby and asked him
to stop drinking. saying:
Don't take that drink; there are
ladies on this car and it is not right.
1t is against the law for you to do
this thing in public place, and

PLOYE IL STRUCN DOWN BY
ASSASSIN AND RODBEE.
Tragedy Takes Place on the Santa
Ee Express in Eansns-No Trace
OF the Outlaw Is Found.

Newton, Kas., March 30.-A. D.
Bailey, an express messenger of the
Wclls-Fargo Company. was killed by
an unknown person on Santa Fe train
No. 115, between Florence and New
ton. yesterday. The murder was
brutal. with robbery as the object
Both safes, the local and the through
safes, We're ransacked and at least
S 900 in money and some jewelry
taken. The amount the robbers Sc
cured is not known.
The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found when the train reached
Newton. 1t was stretched on the
floor of the car, the head beaten to
pulp and lying in pool of blood.
The back of the skull was crushed
and the end of the car where it was
lying was spatteded with blood. The
blood spatters reached to the cell
ing.
There was no evidence of any
struggle, the Indications pointing to
the commission of the murder while
the messenger was asleep, before he
could offer resistance. Bailey was
seen alive at Strong City. At Pea
body some one opened the car doc"
just enough to throw out a package
of waybils and then closed it quick
ly.
The custom of the messenger has
been to go to sleep after leaving
Florence and it is possible that he
did this. After being struck while
sleeping, and rendered unconscious,
his body rolled to the floor, and the
robber, after beating him on the
head, covered it with the dead mans
coat. One blow was struck at the
mans face with some sharp instru
ment, apparently a Ratchet, which
broke the jaw bone. From the dead
mans pockets the keys were removed
and the safes ransacked. Then the
keys were put back into Bailey's
overcoat, the coat folded and put in
his grip, where it was found later.

CITIZENS PLATFORM.
Candidates on the Citizens Ticket
Announce the Platform Upon
Which They Stand.

We, the candidates for city coun-
cilmen on the Citizens Ticket, make
the following declaration of policies
for the government of the City of
Aberdeen. and pledge ourselves to
faithful adherence thereto.
We favor the administration of the
city's affairs on recognized business
principles, and consider the city
council much as the board of direc-
tors Of private corporation, and the
taxpayers as stockholders, whose in
terests should at all times be para
mount.
We believe in the strict enforce
ment of the laws, and in the doctrine
that ALL are equal before the law,
none immune from it's penalties and
none outside the pale of it's protec-
ton.
We favor the building of perma-
nent streets as quickly as possible, in
such manner as may be agreed upon
by majority of the property owners
interested.
We favor a readjustment of the
water rent schedule, to the end that
the minimum family rate shall not
exceed 81 90 per month.
We favor necessary public i'm
provements; that they be made with
a view to permanency, and insist that
the interests and desires of those who
pay for them be considered.
We denounce the change in ward
boundaries that threatens to deprive
South Aberdeen of representation on
the council, and turns over one
sixth of the city government to a dis
trict containing less than one
twelfth of the population and re-
curing almost the undivided atten-
ton of the police department to
maintain order within it's limits.
We denounce all attempts to inject
national politics into the affairs of
the city, especially at a time when
nearly all cities Of the nation are
making efforts to escape from condi-
lions imposed by political bosses, that
always prove onerous to the tax

A Personal Account OF Visit to -Four Blind
Pigs" in the Pine Tree State
By the REV. w. S. MAC INTYRE,
Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rock
ville, Conn.
The article on prohibition in Maine" in
The National Pyohibitiomst of February 6, was
full of interest and perhaps Prohibtionists would
be interested in seeing few plans of the saloon
as it exists in that state
These plans were drawn after personal visit
to the places. 1t was on a Saturday evening,
in the largest city in Maine except Portland;
city with very large foreign population. More
than two-thirds of the people were foreign born
or their parents were. 1t was Lewiston, the
home of Nelson Dingley and Senator William P
Frye Three of us, two pastors and an ex-
sheriff made the examination.

Another place visited was on Main street
near the depot. Off the street was candy store.
Back of this were a few tables where lunches
were served Back of this was the kitchen,
from which there was door leading into
corridor leading to room in the rear of the
building. This was small room furnished with
