man with the noted university authority

BACON AND OTHERS
EXPLAIN IRON VOTE

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Senatod Ba-
con and other Democrats who voted yes
terday for duty of Is per cent ton on
iron ore resent the assertion that they
voted for protection, and they further
claim that the Democrats are split to
pieces on the pending tariff legislation.
He says future events will demonstrate
the absurdity of the statements, and will
prove that the Democrats are practically
united on the principles involved in tariff
legislation.
1.-The duty of % cents ton on iron ore
is only one per cent advalorem, and as
most of it is imported from Cuba the ad
valorem duty is in reality only about sew
en- per cent" said the senator. THE De-
mocratic party stands for tariff for rev.
enue and a ten per cent duty on iron ore
lis a revenue duty, nothing more. No one
claims that it is a protective rate.
1.-The critics who carp on the vote on
iron ore should wait until we consider
the manufactured products of steel and
iron and see how the Democrats vote be-
fore criticizing the party with being d.
vided. or members of the party with vot-
ing for a protective duty. The county
will see that the Democatic patty will
make united stand to amend the sched-
ule, educing the protective ates to evetnue

PLACED UNDER ARREST

negro was arrested at the river last
night as he was attempting to cross
over into South Carolina. Owing to his
actions it was thought he might be one
OF the robbers that broke into Otis
Crooks house and stole a thousand dol
lars the night before or that he might
be an escpaed convict. He was heavily
armed, and offered stubborn resistance
when arrested. Had the officers not ia
ken him mawares 1t is likely that there
would have been bloodshed as he tried
to draw his revolver when they laid
hands on him. He will say nothing
whatever about where he came from or
who he is. He is being held here.

story.
One night during the latter part Of
December, 1907. Adler departed from New
Orleans on the steamer Alps, which he
had chartered and loaded with a large
supply of groceries. He was at that time
also president of a wholesale grocery

1t was only few days after Adler's flight

Judge Roam said that he pitied him, but
that he also pitied the widow of the dead

frequenting the near beer saloons instead
of going home early, and told Dolby that
doubtless this led to the crime in his
case.
Dolby never lost his composure. He
said:

testimony of witnesses and officers. That

Dolby was jointly indicted with w. NJ.

showed that Minis did the stabbing, but
that, Dolby put him--up to it, Smith was
stabbed at the door of his house, and
died shortly after having been taken to
Grady hospital.
Minis was tried at the last session of
the court, and was found guilty of vOlun-

years. That his sentence was not great
