scribed as having approximately thirty
horse power and selling for $loO0 or less

possibly have gone through what TINS
car has no matter if it had 1o0-horse
power. In fact. every time high pow
cred car has come to meet us and, as
they thought. to help us over bad roads,
they have gotten mired and we tound
ourselves compelled to help them out
of places the lighter car negotiated with
comparative ease.
It's a simple matter when you con-
slider it. Two tons weight, resting on
four points will sink much deeper than
half that weight resting on the same
supports. A difference of an inch IN
width of tires cannot make up for the
extra weight. In the soft clay of Wis
consin. or the gumbo roads of Iowa,
saturated with the heavy spring rains,
the heavier car is absolutely hopeless.
At times the light one is also, but the
chances are all in favor of the lighter
vehicle, as has been repeatedly shown
in the Pathfnder's experiences,

In a closely contested and almost er-
rorless game Compton high school de-
feated MonrOvia on the grounds of the
latter school yesterday afternoon by
the score of 2 to 1. Good pitching and
excellent Unfolding marked the entire

been scored against Monrovia have
been made in the first, Monrovia's hoo

This makes Monrovia hold second

by the several local dealers, each one

Recently the ladies have made $50

There are a number of patients in
the Hospital, many of them charity

free of charge are the five little chill

WILL SWINDLE US

Chase Predicts Deluge of Inferior
Works of Art.

New York, October S.-William M.
Chase, the well-known artist, is of the
opinion that Americans are bound to
be swindled under this new free art
provision ut is an established fact"
says he, that in Europe American
painters are recognized as leading in
the world today. This removal of the
tariff simply let's down the bar to a
lot of worthless daubs, for which every
dusty attic and storeroom in Europe
has been ransacked this summer"
But all this is entirely aside from
the main fact that under existing con-
ditions many valuable works of art
bought abroad years ago by American
collectors and since stored in Euro
pean houses are destined gradually to
be brought across the ocean, free OF
duty, as they should be, for the event
ual pleasure and instruction of the

Negro Afraid of Banks is

John Fish, whose name might indi-
cate that he belonged either to the

But altogether it was "23" for the
unfortunate owner.
Yesterday he brought the melted
mass of silver to the Bank of South
Western Georgia, the officials kindly
agreeing to send it to the Treasury
Department at Washington, with
statement of facts in the case, to the
end of having the money redeemed in
part, at least at its metal value.
Some of the dollars we're so thor
oughly melted to bear little resem-
blance to their former shape.

DOORS OF PRISON
FORCED BY MOB.
Jail StOrmed in Search of
Prisoner.

Waycross, Ca, Oct. 8.-Though the
prisoner for whom they clomore was
safe in the Chatham county Jail, five
hundred excited men surrounded the
Ware county Jail last night, demand
ing admittance to search for 12-year-
old Dell Jones, who, it is charged, at
tempted TO assault young white
girl, between Waycross and Gil
christ Park Wednesday night.
When the signs of trouble became
threatening the Waycross guards were
called out at the request of the sher-
iff and at the order of Gov Brown
and the thirty-fiye men who answered
the call to arms marched to the Jail,
succeeding in averting successful
attack which it seemed would be
made momentarily.
Until long after midnight the urg-
ings of the excited men that the ne
gro be given into their hands for sum-
mary vengeance were continued; be-
ing kept up until a committee from
their number was permitted to pass
the guarding soldiers and go through
the Jail, satisfying themselves that
the prisoner was not hidden there
In the first attack on the Jail, which
the arrival of the soldiers interrupted,
the crowd used battering ram of
wood and succeeded in battering
through the front door of the office,
formerly occupied by the sheriff at
the jail. The door was mashed in,
but the crowd did no damage to the
heavy door leading to the jail proper.
After the visit to the court house it
became evident to the seekers that
the negro was in safe place and the
statement, often repeated, that he had
been taken to Savannah, came to be
generally believed. No further trouble
is antfcipated

TIRED OF MARRIAGE HE

Bridegroom of Two Days a
Suicide.

Thomasyille, Ga, Oct. S.-Thougb a
bridegroom of but two days, John
S. Gay, formerly of Colquitt county.
calmly lay down in front of a rushing
passenger train on the Atlantic
Coast Line track near here. and was
instantly killed.
The engineer in the cab of the big
machine that took Gays life tells a
thrilling story of his effort to stop
the train and of his feeling when he
knew he could not
The engineer stated that the scene
of the suicide was two miles from
here. He saw Gay walking along near
the track hundred yards in advance
of the engine.
AS the train approached Gay sud
denly stepped onto the track, looked
calmly at the engineer, lay down
across the track and spread his arms
wide.
The engineer tried to stop the train
but Gay was too near him. The man
lived a few minutes after he was
struck, but was not able to speak
and died without revealing the Sc
cret of his desire for death.
Letters found in Gays pockets told
his name. He had recently resided at
Pelham. He came to Thomasville
couple of days since with his newly
made bride, who was Miss Anna Hol-
land and whom he married Tuesday
in Camilla.
1t was reported here that there had
been objections to the marriage.
Gays father, it is said, was for many
years ordinary of Colquitt county.
