BURGLARS BUSY IN CALHOUN
AN ORGANIZED BAND SEEMS TO
BE AT WORK THERE.
One Who Was Caught and Chained

Was Gone Next Morning.
Burglars are getting in their work
down in Calhoun county. They seem
to be combining their operations to
the country homes and turpentine
commissaries.
A special to the Albany Herald
says that a few days ago a crowd of
negroes out in the Rowena settle
ment ran a negro down and caught
him in the woods, finding on him
several suits of new underwear, sew
eral counterpanes and almost a COM
plete stock of small dry goods. The
negro claimed that he had bought
the goods in Albany, but he was
taken to Arlington and locked up I'M
til Albany could be heard from. In
the meantime it was found that the
goods belonged to different parties
living near Kestler, Ga. The night
that this negro was locked in the
calaboose in Arlington an attempt
was made from the outside by a
negro with an axe to break into the
calaboose and free the prisoner, but
a policeman heard the noise and
caught the one that was trying to
break the other out, and now he too
is locked in.
The negroes living on the Collier
place caught a negro that had been
robbing houses in that neighborhood
the other night, and turned him over
to Mr.. Joe Collier to deliver to the
sheriff on the next day. Mr.. Collier
handcuffed the negro, chained him
to a log in his crib and locked the
crib door, thinking to keep him there
during the night The next morning
when he went to get his prisoner to
take to the jail he was gone, and
Mr.. Collier could find no sign OF his
chains and handouts. Someone from
the outside had freed him. This
leads everyone to believe that there
is a gang at work, and that when
one gets caught the Others make at
tempts to release him.

BULLETIN.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. AT I'VE
o'clock this morning. Carl Riddiek,
secretary Of the Republican state CEN
trail committee conceded the election
Of Thomas w. Marshall, democratic
nominee, az next governor Of Indiana
by about 1000 majority. He also said
the Democrats had elected congress-
men in the second, third. fourth,
eighth, eleventh and twelfth districts
and possibly had won also in the sew.

Secretary Riddiek said further that
the Democrats would have a small
majority in the lower house Of the
general assembly, but that on joint
ballot the Republicans would have .
majority. This means that Indiana
will still have two Republican sens-
tors representing it at Washington.
Indiana, according to Secretary Rid
dick, is absolutely safe for Taft with
from 10000 to $4,000 majority over
Bryan.

over $4,000. although republicans who

Stated.

No Question That Tammany

Strong Up State.

New York. Nov 3.-The state of New
York has again registered its verdict
in favor of the republican party and
in the election today gave, a plurality
for William H. Taft for president of
the United States which may be in ex-
cess of 10000 votes.
The determined opposition of the
race track and other interests which
he had antagonized during his term of
governor seriously cut into the vote of
Governor Hughes and his majority will
from the figures received at this writ
ing, be not more than 5000, and may
fall under that figure.
At one time during the receipt of re-
turns there was a swing for Chanler
which made his friends iubilant and
confident that he had succeeded in
winning the governorship by small
plurality. Later returns, however,
wiped out this hope and made it clear
that Governor Hughes would be select
ed by safe margin.
Up state. Judge TART IN many in
stances ran ahead of the great vote Of
President Roosevelt four years ago.
Bryan Slaughtered.
The most remarkable feature of the
election was the manner in which
Bryan was slaughtered in New York
city. If he carries the greater city by
any plurality whatever it will be a
very small one, and the later returns
may actually give Taft more votes
than Bryan below the Bronx.
There is no question that Tammany
traded Bryan for Chanler wherever
possible and shrewd political observ-
ers expected under the circumstances
that the democratic gubernatorial can
didate would receive a much heavier
vote than he did.
Brooklyn to Taft.
Taft carried Brooklyn by a substan-
tial majority apparently in the neigh
borhood of 10000, while Manhattan
did not give Bryan a sufficient margin
to offset this.
At midnight the republicans claimed
majority of over 100000 for Taft for
the state and between $4,000 and
10000 in greater New York and ma
jority of $4,000 in the state for Hughes
Latest returns give Hughes approx
mately 10000 plurality.
New York. Nov. Ex-Governor
Hughes is being congratulated upon
his splendid race. He has been fight
ing the fight of the people" accord
ing to those claiming to be independ-
ent voters. He has been opposed by
the gambling and saloon element al
most to a man. He has been opposed
by the gamblers primarily because of
his attitude on betting at the race
tracks and is regarded by some turf
followers as having killed the sport
A more liberal man has been wanted
for the governors chair. Hughes has
been opposed by many of the leaders
of the old ring of the republican party
and this has made his struggle the
more interesting as he was recognized
as being opposed by men who super
fcally appeared as favoring him. His
victory is signal triumph.

travellers were on hand before the polls

anxious to cast their vote before going

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 3.-The
night has been one of suspense and
uncertainty in this city. Owing to the
slowness with which returns in this
state were received. Early returns
showed the state apparently for Bry-
an, later, however. this was changed.
James P. Goodrich, republican state
chairman at first claimed the state for
Taft by $4,000 plurality increasing his
estimate to 10000, and then dropping
to 5000. Returns have been very slow
from all counties with the exception
of those which together with Marion
county have voting machines.
Enough has been learned. however,
to show that Marshall has been elect
ed over Watson. The exact size of his
plurality has not been estimated as
yet. At IL O'Clock, however, it was
believed to be 10000.
The defeat of Watson is practically
assured although there remains the
bare possibility he may pull through.
His own party leaders, however, have
given him up. 1t is expected Taft
Will manage to carry the state by a
few thousand although the republican
majority has been smashed TO nothing
practically. 1t seems as il Watson
has been the only republican candi-
date TO suffer so far as the state tick
ct was concerned. Indications are that
the remainder of the state ticket will
come through.
Watson's defeat is openly charged to
the fact that Governor Hanly called a

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-AIl day
long the politicians have been puzzled
in this city over the fact that the vot-
ers seemed to be voting straight tick
cts. No one was able to figure out
just what this meant And another
thing that caused much comment was
that there was an enormous lot of
early voting. In many af the precincts
of this city, fully IS per cent OF the
vote was cast by noon. This was re-
markable, and the wise politicians sat
up. scratched their heads and asked
themselves what it all meant.
Not only was voting heavy in this
city, but reports from out in the State
indicated that an unusually heavy vote
was being polled everywhere else. IL
there was any apathy during the cam
paign it did not last until election day.
In this city where voting machines
were used. men voted as rapidly as
three to the minute. 1t was evident
from the short time they remained in
the booth that they were not doing
much scratching. 1t was known all
during the campaign that there were
many republicans talking about vot-
ing for Taft and against Watson. To
do this, of course, they had to scratch
