Did you attack your aunt because she
knew that you murdered your cousin ?" he
was asked
mo; my aunt did not know and no one
on earth knew up to this confession that
| killed the man. assaulted my aunt for
the purpose of robbine her. My aunt al
ways kept considerable money hidden in
her house, and whenever she went away
she always brought it to my home and left
it there. knew this. and the day as
saulted her decoyed her from her house.
Il sent word that relative was i'll at
my house and that she was wanted. was
sure that she would come and bring along
her money, because she always feared that
her house would be robbed while she was
away. laid in wait for her, and when
she started across the field assaulted her.
| wanted her money that was all"
you said the other day that it was not
robbery Which is right?" he was asked
Robbery was the motive and nothing
else" Harriss replied with some agitation
Harriss signed typewritten copy of this
statement in the presence of Captain Pun
phrey and Sheriff Mullican.
GRAND JURY MAY DE ASSEMBLED IN SPECIAL
SESSION.
1t is understood that States Attorney
Waters will recommend that the grand
jury be assembled in special session early
in September for the purpose of consider
ing the Harriss case, so that a speedy trial
may be had in the Circuit Court.
NARROW ESCAPE OF NORMAN WATERS.
Norman Waters, the young son of Mr.
Hatton A. Waters, who keeps store at
Iravilah. thinks he had narrow escape
from violence at the hands of Ollie Harriss
short time before the murderer assaulted
his aunt. While in charge of the store one
evening Harriss got the boy to 90 with him
into the cellar, first to get him a dozen
pickles he said he wanted, and a second
time on the pretense of getting glass jars
which Harriss said he wished to buy
Young Waters now thinks that Harriss in
tended to disable or kill him in the cellar
and rob the store while no one else was
present, but lost his nerve during the first
visit to the cellar and was frightened from
his purpose on the second visit by hearing
some one enter the store-room above. Har-
riss did not take the glass jars after they
were brought from the cellar, saying he
had changed his mind about them, and
young Waters says he was very nervous
and acted strangely while they were in the
cellar. The boy now thinks himself ex-
tremely fortunate that he did not share
the fate of Poole, and since the confess
sion of Harriss, that is the general opinion.

Ho! for the Mule Race at the
County Fair.

The big riding tournament is not the
only special and extraordinary attraction
scheduled for the next annual exhibition
of the Montgomery County Agricultural
Society, beginning on the last day of this
month. There is to be a mule race-an
old-fashioned mule race-with all the ex-
element and ludicrous performances that
naturally belong to such an amusing event.
Whoever saw bunch of mules in compe-
tition on the race track without having
something to laugh at whenever it was re-
called When the average member of the
mule family gets his racing blood up he
would rather bolt the track or run in the
wrong direction than proceed in the direc-
ton of the goal and those who can be got
ten to 90 the right way will oftentimes
balk anywhere on the route, preferably
near the end of the home stretch.
There was mule race at the Rockville
Fair many years ago which is talked about
by those who saw it, down to the present
day. The mules which participated in it
did everything that an animal with only
four legs could possibly do, except to COM
pete in good faith for the purse, and with
out the least regard for the wishes of their
riders. Out of about dozen contestants.
only two mules went over the route, the
others baking or boiling and scampering
in every direction. The late Allen Selby
rode one of those which kept to the track
until nearing the home stretch, when his
mule-ship, seeing the leader about fifty
yards ahead of him, took a straight cut
across the unfenced grass plot within the
circular course and passed under the wire
full fifty yards ahead of his competitor.
1t was claimed that Mr.. Selby had won the
race, because his mule had taken the short
cut of its own accord and contrary to the
desire of its rider, but the other mule was
decided to be the winner.
1t has not been definitely decided on
which day the mule race at the approach
ing Fair will take place, but it will I'M
be an event of great interest
and amusement whenever it is pulled off.

Departed this life on July 9th. 1909,
Mrs. p. j. Poole, daughter of the late
Leonard and Eliza Hays and widow of
Reginald Poole.
Her funeral took place at the little church
in GAINESVILLE, she so dearly loved and
which will sadly miss her in many ways,
She always gave so willingly of her means
to carry on its work. She was laid away
by her pastor, Rev. W. p. Griggs, in Gods
acre (old Monocacy cemetery to await the
final summons.
God in his wise providence saw fit to
cloud her latter days. We know He does
not willingly afflict his children but for
some wise purpose. What ] do thou
knowest not now"
In the blest hereafter shall know
Why in his wisdom He has led me So"
n n
This is Gods will concerning you. 1t may
seem strange it is so;
You may not understand at all, you may
not see, you may not know
Is the road rough, Is the path dark? II
leadeth to the perfect day
And sometimes with your vision clear
you'll know ii was best, Gods way"

The End of Oannonism

In the January number Of Sue
cess several columns are devoted to
the Cannonism question by J. G.
Welliver, Following.is the gist OF
his remarks:
In a speech which he read from
manuscript at Kansas City, Speaker
Cannon served notice that the lib
eral or insurgent Republicans in
Congress must be fought just as
Bryan must be. Should Speaker
Carnon have his way, then he
would read out of the Republican
party not only the progressive in
surgents in Congress-, but also that
great mass OF voters in Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska.
and Ohio-not to mention the
plainly expressed attitude of voters
in twenty other States-who stand
behind them. 1t is Cannon versus
the United States. Cannon himself
forced the issue. His challange
was promptly accepted by the Re
publican leaders of the West.
Cannonism has therefore reached
the last stage, the beginning of the
enk. No petty politics, no temper
airy victories of trick and stratgem,
not even his final frantic effort to
appear as a friend of progress, can
now save Cannon. The Middle
West, supported by the honest,
healthy thought of forty-fve States,
is against him. He is doomed.
