 SWAN LAKE DIVE Twelve People Are Arrested for

Programme is Completed for Exercises at Eighth District Agricultural School-Fruit Crop of
 Limestone.

Athens, April 27.-(Special.) Hen derson Legg, accompanied by four depu- ties, made a raid on the worst dive in North Alabama, located at Swan Lake, just north of Decatur, in this county yesterday afternoon, and as result bagged six negroes and six whites, three of the negroe being women. They were brought to Athens, where Il of them went to jail and one, prominent young man of a neighboring Tennessee city, paid fine of $9O. 50 and left.
 More than 50 made their escape, owing to the fact that the sheriffs posse was not well organized and the place where the dive is run is easy to escape from by hiding in the tall cane. This place has been for some time a very ugly re- sort and the court officers have been doing all in their power to break it up, but 1t seems impossible to get evidence sulllcient to convict. so a detective was employed and the names of more than 100, with sufficient evidence to convict, are now in the hands of the proper officers.
 The court officers are determined to drive this joint from the county. Men from the Decaturs came over to the lake,
 
 they are said to sell whisky and gamblers infest the place. Sundays are the worst days.
 This section was visited by quite wind and thunderstorm last evening, but no damage is reported. Many were consid- erably frightened.
 The commencement exercises of tho Eighth District Agricultural school at this place will be held on May 10, Il and 12 Dr. c. P. Atkinson, who holds the chair of moral philosophy at the Southern university, who is a brother of President Atkinson of the local state school, will preach the commencement sermon.

 Dr. c. A. Cary, director at Auburn, will hold a farmers day on Monday.

Wirlwind Finish for
Republican Ma
tional Campaign
TO CONCENTRATE FORCES
New York, Indiana and Ohio
Will Be Bone of Conten.
ton Until Election.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-William II. Taft,
Republican candidate for president
and National Committeeman Frank H.
Hitchcock, have talked over cam
paign plans and decided that the field
for action from now until election day
Is in the East, Indiana and Ohio be.
ing included, and New York being EN-.
phasized.
Mr.. Taft, for some reason or other,
wished to attack the solid South It
may have been his idea that an attack
on the Democratic stronghold might
keep the enemy busy at home for
awhile, or it may have been that he
wished to accede to the requests of the
many southern Republicans.
The reacon for this wish to 60 South
is not explained and the wish, it is
believed, is not likely to be realized
to any great extent. Mr.. Hitchcock
thought Southern trip would mean
much wasted time and the conse.
quences are that the candidate will
touch only one or two of the border
states next week
Contest in Three States.
He will speak in Louisville and prob.
ably in Tennessee, If a meeting can be
arranged in that state. His time from
now on until election will be given
chiefly to New York, Indiana and Ohio.
James S. Sherman, the vice-presiden-
tial candidate, will spend most of the
remaining. time in the East, where the
Republican forces will be concentrat.
ed Senator A. j. Beveridge, as soon as
he has finished his Western trip, will
be placed in Indiana.
The action of the Republican man.
ayers indicates their belief that the
contest has narrowed down to three
states-New York, Ohio and Indiana
and these states will receive the full
attention of the party.
Mr. Taft's schedule has not been
arranged In detail, but after his talk
with Mr.. Hitchcock it was announced
that he would speak at various places
in his own state next Monday and
Tuesday; that Wednesday and Thurs
day probably would be spent in Indi-
ana, and that the last two days of the
week would be devoted to the southern
trip which the candidate desired to
make.
Assault On New York.
At least one week and possibly two
will be given to New York. The can.
didate will finish the campaign there,
with the aid of Mr.. Sherman and pos.
sibly with that Of Mr.. Hughes, Vice.
President Fairbanks is scheduled for
Baltimore, Newark, Trenton, New York
and Brooklyn. Secretary E,ihu Root
and Secretary Straus will be sent into
New York to supplement the work of
the national candidates.
With the heavy oratorical workers
centered in New York, Mr.. Hitchcock
expects to give most of his time to
that state. 1t seems to be regarded by
the Republican managers as the bat.
tlefield Of the campaign. They are du.
bious about Indiana, but they are con.
crened chiefly with New York.
