RUNNERS NOT YET QUIzzED
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE HAS
OVERLOOKED TERRELL.
In Its Search for Information as to
Views of Those Who Would
BE Lawmakers.

Although agents of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Georgia have given
it out that the organization would
seek to learn the platforms of all the
candidates for the legislature this
spring the candidates in Terrell
have not yet been approached either
by letter or in person by the league
officers. Some time ago it was stated
that the league intended to mail to
each candidate a letter asking him
for his views on certain questions.
The letter was to be closed with the
statement that the failure of reply
would be looked upon as Indifference
on the part of the candidate.
So far not Terrell county man
for either the senate of the house
has received such a communication,
and the primary is only about ten
days off. The letter that the league
is thinking of sending out is as fol-
lows
IF elected to the legislature will
you align yourself with the friends
of prohibition to oppose all legisla-
ton that will weaken or destroy the
provisions of the present law?
will you favor such amendments
as may be found needful to make
the law more effective, such changes
or notifications to be made only by
tire friends of the movement?
will you favor a prohibition
clause in the state constitution?
'.Will you favor legislation fixing
more clearly the legal status OF con
demned commodities?'
The following paragraphs also ap-
pear in the letter:
These questions are agitating the
minds of the people of Georgia as
never before, and for this reason we
ask you to kindly define your posi-
ton clearly upon them
You will understand, of course
that the league has no political pref
erence. Its simple purpose is 10 help
in every way possible in the election
of men to carry out the wishes Oh
those whom it represents.
''If you are willing to help in TINS
way. or if you are Indifferent, please
write us frankly. Failing to ADVISE
us will force US to construe your
silence as a declaration of indiffer-
ence to what we shall ask at the
hands of the general assembly.

Until all mating birds of Spring
NAV fly from their winter homes
to the North to rear their young, safe
from the pot-shots of unsportsman-
like and market hunters, national
camnaign against Spring shooting VIII
be carried from state to state,
if has beer announced. Acting on
the protests of sportsmen and the
warning of the Department ofAgrl-
culture, the National Association OF
Audubon Societies has undertaken TO
make a last stand for the existence
of the dying races of American game
birds in every state in which shoot
ing during the breeding season is
not forbidden by law. In Massa-
chusett. Rhode Island, New Jersey
and Oklahoma a determined fight is
today being carried on against the
commercial interests which are or
ganized to fight the movement.
That the most desperate measures
have been taken by men who butcher
birds for the market to prevent pro-
tectiye legislation in these states, as
well as in twenty others in which the
law still leaves the game birds easy
prey while breeding, is known today,
Although this market lobby has al
WAYS been active in opposing laws
which threatened to curtail their
gains in any particular state the pos
sibility of such a general protection
throughout the country has aroused
them to finance a wide spread scrupu-
lous fight. To pit against this rich
and selfish interest the audubon wor-
kers have simply the moral support
of sportsmen and the general unset
fish desire of the people to save the
game birds from extinction.
From January first to reasonable
open season in the fall is the period
which is to be asked for the mating
birds and their young. In fifteen
states and nine Canadian provinces
the game birds are already shielded
by law during this crucial time. I'm
less such measures are taken at once
by the remaining states the govern

A New York dispatch says the
marriage license bureau, which has
now been in existence in that city
two months, has proved to be one of
the busiest as well as most popular
departments in the city. The num-
Der of clerks has been increased to
meet the demand, which on some
mornings has been so great that a
license has been issued every seven

FLINT RIVER FULL OF SHAO
THAT SHAD WILL NOT LIVE IN
STREAMS FROM GULF.
Is an Old Belief That Has Now Been
DisproVed. Hundreds Are
Caught Daily.

1t is practically impossible to con-
vince a shad fisherman who plies
his trade in any of the Georgia,
Florida or Carolina rivers that a shdd
was ever known to run up any stream
which pours it's waters into the Gulf
of Mexico 1t is a belief generations
old on the Atlantic seaboard that
the shad never did and never will
quit the ocean for the gulf, and that
gulf streams must be forever shad-
less
In spite of this tradition, which
has been proved within the course
of the last few years to be fallacy
pure and simple, there are thousands
of shad in Flint river. There are no
well equipped shad fisheries in this
vicinity, but hundreds of shad are
being caught near Albany this spring
by fishermen whose equipment is
very crude. Nets such as are used
in the Altamaha and Savannah rivers
have never been placed in the Flint,
but cast nets are being employed
most effectively at certain points.
At the dam in MuckafoOnee creek,
which empties into the Flint mile
and a half above Albany, shad have
been found to accumulate in large
numbers. Being unable to pass the
dam they crowd the waters imme-
diately below it, where a number
will not infrequently be taken at
single cast of a small net. Local
fishermen are reaping harvest while
the season is on. The shad are large,
and but slightly inferior to the best
specimens shipped here from other
points.
The United States fish commission
has frequently placed shad fry in
the Flint, the deposits having usually
been made at Albany. 1t is reasona-
BILE to believe that the shad which
now come up the Flint, and presuma-
bly, the Chattahoochee, have grown
from the government stock. Certain
it is that shad are now so abundant
in Flint river that fishery. properly
would reap harvest at
this season of the year.

aged to escape the long line. They
were Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, who
married Count Szechenyi, and Miss
Cornelia Hartman, daughter of the
railroad magnate, who married Rob-.
ert Livingston Gerry last Tuesday.
In appreciation of this courtesy one
of the policemen who helped Miss
Vanderbilt and the count to get a
license without delay received a
beautiful set of amethyst studs and
links. Others, however, have to wait
their turn in line, and life is made
miserable for them by a crowd of in
stallment sharks, who try to sell
them the brides bouquet or wedding
ring, or offer to fit out their new
home from cellar to garnet with ev-
erything from a rolling pin to
grand piano for dollar down and

f.FT's CAMPAIGN HAS COST $3.50, 900

district conventions in that state
have been openly paid by the Taft
crowd. This includes railroad fare
and hotel bills.
In the south the Taft money is be-
ing spent in floods. The reports on
this come in chiefly from democratic
congressman. They say that no such
deluge of money has ever been
turned loose in their states, particu-
larly in Georgia and Florida.
In New England the Tafters do not
seem to be using as much money as
elsewhere. They have a bureau and
travelling agents there, but there is
not so much open display of cash
Still there is not an acre in New
England that is not being covered by
Taft emissaries.
Henry w. Taft, who is Taft's own
brother, Charles P. being only half
brother, is credited with having
charge in quiet way of what is be-
ing done in New York. Henry w,
however, does not seem to be spend
ing any money there, so far as is
known. His work is understood to
be the Cancellation of Wall street and
the anti-Roosevelt interest generally
by the quiet passing around of the
word that William H. is all right.

MRS. LUCY PARSONS THE HIGH
PRIESTESS OF THE "REDS"
THE UNITED STATES
PREDICTS A BLOODY REVOLT
Many Old Men Are Seen Among the
Ranks of the Anarchists. All
Drink Greedily of the DAM
nable Doctrine.

naDle Doctrine.
A Chicago dispatch says: The
growth of anarchy in this city has
been extremely rapid in recent years.
There are now many main groups
of anarchists in Chicago and at least
$4,000 persons are either avowed
anarchists or are in sympathy with
them
Since the days of the bloody Hay
market, riots in 1886 the men who
are striving to plant the seeds of
anarchy in the United States have
made Chicago their special point of
attack because of its cosmopolitan
population Immediately after the
Haymarket riots anarchy in Chicago
reached its lowest ebb because of the
activity of the police and the hor-
ror which attended the bomb throw
ing in Haymarket square, but in the
years that have elapsed the teachers
of the creed have worked and toiled
until they have built up society in
Chicago which is strong both in num-
bers and fanatical enthusiasm.
Priestess of Anarchy.
1t is the boast of Chicagos high
priestess of anarchy, Lucy Parsons,
that among the ranks of the anarch-
lists are numbered not only the sweat
shop toiler whose Russian ancestry
makes him peculiarly susceptible to-
the teachings of anarchy, but that
number of the most scholarly men
in Chicago, including one of the best
known professors at the University
of Chicago, are secretly members of
the anarchist groups.
Mrs Parsons, half Indian, half
Spanish, the widow of one of the an
archists who died upon the scaffold
because of the Haymarket riots, is
looked upon as the directing head
Of Chicago's anarchist groups. She
has taken up her residence within
the last four years in the very heart
of the territory which has proved to
; be the most fertile soil for anarchist
seed
In the big three-story frame house
at 324 South Morgan street this wo-
man holds forth, surrounded by
queer group of men, to whom she
teaches the principles of her faith.
Some of her pupils are old men and
women, but for the greater part they
are the youths who have been raised
in the ghetto district and who have
gained just sufficient knowledge to-
make them eager to drink greedily
of the doctrines which are sounded
in their ears.
Predicts a Revolution.
Of the different aranchistic groups
but one is distinctly American. There
are Italian groups, German groups,
Russian groups, Jewish groups, and
large group whose numbers are
drawn from all nationalities. Prob
ably the most interesting group
of anarchists in Chicago is a group
known as the Edelstadt group. This
is composed of young Jews and is
said to have 200 members.
Mrs. Parsons predicts a big revolul
ton in this country. THE United
States, she says, will lead the
world During the anarchists trials
in SO one of the states lawyers said:
We have the anarchists cornered
now, and they can't escape. They
are like rats in a trap, and will be
wiped out entirely Well, the rats
escaped and now number 900 in
this city"

FATALLY HURT
BY DAUGHTER

GIRL WHILE DRUNK AND Is
CUT WITH SCISSORS.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Robert E. Mo-
rey, alumnus of Columbia University,
brilliant Latin and Greek scholar, for
mer principal of Poughkeepsie IN. "
High School, died in fearful agony
yesterday at the Cook County Hospital
from wound administered by his fiji
teen-year-old daughter as she was de-
Tending herself from his drunken fury.
She was mendlng a dress and had a
pair of small scissors in her hand
when her father attempted to drag her
from the chair. by her hair and beat
her, as he frequently did.
In attempting to shield her face she
put up her hands and the Infatuated
man struck the scissors with great
force. He gave the wound no atten-
ton and in his wretched physical con-
dition it rapidly became worse and he
was finally removed to the hospital so
far advanced with blood poisoning
that the case was hopeless.
When the police heard the facts OF
the attack and the pitiful history OF
the family sthey sent the girl home,
and the death is officially reported as
an accident.
