of some low down villain or villains
last Friday night when they caught

about 800 and pried her mouth open
and pulled her tongue out as far as
they coud and cut 1t of, and threw it
down in the street, leaving her to
bleed or starve to death. Saturday
morning when Mr. Collins went to mis-
lot and found her in this condition he
at once had he killed and put out of

gives us the following information as
to the way some of our communities
here in Florida get our drinking wa
ter through the kindly aid of the in
telligent fish in our tanks:
Some of the cities of Florida are
almost entirely dependent on cisterns
for water supply and it has been re-
allied lately that these tanks must
furnish a favorable place for the prop
agation OF mosquitoes. One Of the
suggested means of conducting war
fare against the pest consisted of
stocking these reservoirs with small
fish to feed on the mosquito larvae.
This method has been tried in one
place and another in Florida and
has proved successful in every case.
The fish eat the larvae greeiily, keep
ing the water clean of them, and
live for years. even in tanks that are
covered and their living place one or
darkness.
What city in Florida is almost en-
tirely dependent on cisterns for wa
ter supply?" Perhaps there are such,
but we don't know of them.

DIAMOND DEALS IN PIKE
Pike County Real Estate Continues to Boom in the Vicinity of the Dia.
 mOnd Fields 700 Found.

Walter Mauney, of Murfrees- boro, who was in the city Tues day, reported two deals in Pike county diamond lands this week amounting to $S,5OO. MT. Mau- ney purchased outright of M. B. Bateman eighty acres of land, for $500, and secured an option on eighty belonging to T. B. Bateman at S5,OOO
 Mr. Mauney stated that devel- Opment on the Reyburn-Stifft property has been suspended temporarily, but that work on the original Mauney tract is be- ing pushed by him constantly.
 Tuesday was the second anni- versary of the discovery of the first diamond, which was made by J. w. Huddleston on his farm and since that time a total of 700 stones have been found on the various properties in that section. 32 of which have been found on the original Mauney tract. Two fine stones were found on the Mauney property last week, one of the finds being made by Mrs. Peel of Hickory, Texas. who was on a visit to the family of her father, M. M. Mau- ney.
 Walter Mauney had large col lection of kodak pictures of the diamond fields with him Tuesday which are very interesting, and will prove much more so in fu- future years, when the fields are developed, being a pictorial rec cord of the development of what will no doubt prove the greatest diamond field of the world.
 Mir. Mauney stated that within the past few days there has been great deal of maneuvering and figuring under cover in connecc tion with the diamond fields, and that within a very short time announcements can probably be made of deals of greater magni- tude than any previously made. -Nashvillee News.

ESCAPE FROM CITY JAIL
Two White Men Arrested Here Tester. day and Placed In City Jail Escape
 Wanted In Pike County

Yesterday afternoon Marshal Marsh received a telephone message from off the P. & x. w.. railroad requesting him to meet the incoming train and arrest a party who was wanted at Norf velle for stealing a coat and pair of trousers from H. C.. Carnihan a laborer for the Pike County Logging Co. MT. Marsh together with Deputy Cummings were on hand when the train came in but his man, together with another with another party who gave his name as c. H. Tracy left the train a quarter of mile before it reached the depot. The off cers however, headed them, and as they approached the suburbs placed them in custody. The party who took the clothes was unarmed, but Tracy carried a big gun which the marshal took from him, and both men were placed in the calaboose to await the ar rival of Pike county officials.
 However, when the party from Pike went to the jail this morn- ing for their prisoners, both night, they had pried the iron bars from their cell, and had cut the chain with which the outer door was fastened, and had made a nasty escape.
 It is believed by the officers that outside help was secured in the effort, as the windows in the corrider were screened with quiltsi taken from the cell.
 The party from Pike who came after the men were s. B. Reece, station agent at Norvelle, H. C. Carnihan, the man from whom the clothes were stolen, J. D. Young and Harry Ford.
 Besides the charge of stealing the men were wanted by J. J. who conducts a boarding house at Norvelle, for jumping q board bill.
 The men were strangers in that section, having come there few days ago, and were appar- entlN going to work for the log ging company. But it is now be- lievedi that they are professional safe crackers, and went out for the purpose of looking over the situation. Their ingenious work in escaping jail shows them to be professionals in that line also.
 Efforts will be made to recap ture them, but little hopes are entertained for being able to do so.

Addresses Members of Virginia
 Bar Associa tion.
JUSTICES ADMINISTRATOR
Lynchins He Believes Largely Brought About by the Failure to Vigorously Prosecute Criminals, and Economy by Courts and Attorneys Urged.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 7.-Judge Taft addressed the Virginia Bar as sociation.
 Judge Taft presented the subject by stating that the end sought in the administration of justice was to pro- mote tranquility and contentment among the people. It had, he said. long been established that the supreme court of the United States was the ultimate arbiter of great political and legal issues, deciding upon limitations of both legislative and executive branches of the government, which carried the usefulness of the courts beyond anything attempted by other countries. Notwithstanding this de- sirable situation, MT. Taft expressed doubt of our political administration of justice insuring general popular satisfaction with results.
 There are" he said, abundant evidences that prosecution of crimi- nals has not been certain and thor oughly to the point in preventing a popular protest. The existence of lynching in all parts of the country Is directly traceable to this lack of uniformity and thoroughness in the enforcement of our criminal laws"
 MT. Taft closed with a tribute to the legal profession and cautioned that conservatism ought not to be al lowed to prevent reforms which are in the interest of equalizing the ad- miniStration of justice as far as nos slble between the poor and the rich
