A CONVICT BURGLAR.

An Escape" From Randolph County
Caught Committing Another Crime.
Joe James, one of the convicts
from Quitman county, who is serv-
ing thirty-year sentence in this
county, made a successful dash for
liberty last Friday. The changing
force was at work on the Blakely
road, near L. E. Gays farm, and
James took advantage of a nearby
swamp and had no trouble in MAX
ing his escape, Notwithstanding he
was double-shackled He was cap
tured in Clay county Monday night
by some negroes while in the act of
committing a burglary, and turned
over to the officers at Fort Gaines,
who placed him in jail.-Cuthbert

is WHAT THE GEORGIA LEGIS-
LATURE SEEMS TO BE FACING.
Action of Committee OutIaWing the
Beverage Opposed by Rev. DIR.
John H. White.

The temperance committee of the
lower house of the general assembly
has voted to report favorably a bill
by Mr.. Alexander of DeKalb outlaw
ing near beer and making it Illegal
to manufacture or sell as a beverage
On this state any article which con-
tain any alcohol whatsoever.
A strong fight was made in the
committee. DR.. John f. White, pas
tor of the Second Baptist church of
Atlanta, reminded the members that
Governor Brown had promised the
people of the state that he would
veto any change in the prohibition
law of 1907. He declared this prom
Use was made to all the people, and
he did not feel that he could moral
ly afford to urge the governor to ap-
prove an act the prohibitionists want
ed and hold him to his promise in
case the nti-prohibitionists count
cred by proposing a measure lessen
ing the force of the prohibition law.
In replying to the earnest speech
of DR.. White Mr.. Alexander said:
Yes, doctor, but you will recall
that King Herod promised the head
of John the Baptist in response to
the demand of harlot, and he COM
mitted a blacker crime when he kept
the pledge than when he made it.
Both Mr.. Wright of Floyd and Mr..
Alexander of DeKalb denounced the
recent decisions of the court of ap-
peals in liquor cases.
Mr.. Anderson of Chatham made a
strong appeal for the present law to
be retained, and cautioned the mem
bers against rushing forward too fast
and in advance of the crystalizing
of public sentiment.
After a session lasting several
hours the committee finally voted to
report the measure with the recon-
mendation that it do pass.

A MOUNTAIN OF BoRAx.
A Deposit of Great Value i'm Heart of
Death Valley.


With the exception of the Grand
canyon there is probably no more IA
nous locality in the west than Death
Valley, known as the vale below the
sea, and, although there are a num-
Der of Mount Blancos in the Great
American desert the Mount Blanco
of Death Valley is the greatest of
its name.
1t rises like an enormous white
breast against the terra Gotta ridge
OF Funeral range, close to Furnace
creek canyon, a great rent that
cleaVes the east rampant of Death
valley Around it is rolling waste of
paid yellow hills, none of which is a
mere Knoll, and it towers a good l.
600 feet above them. The lowland
OF Death valley, sinking for several
miles westward, is probably $500
feet lower.
No one ledge or series of lodges
anywhere in the world contains the
immense amount of borate quartz
SHOWN in the surface of this noun
tain of colemanite. 1t is a BODY of
ore measuring 1000 feet in width
and 5000 feet in length, pitching
INTO the mountain range at thirty
three degree angle. 1t is a borax
quarry whose limitations cannot be
even roughly conjectured, but it
must exceed by thousands of tons
any known bOrate deposit.

A BATTLE OVER NIGH BFFR
FAITHFUL HEN SET ON SNAKE
Old Cackler Did Not Seem in the
Least Disturbed When She Saw
What Had Been Found.

Mrs. Allen, wife of Bailiff J. S.
Allen of Lindale, up in north Geor-
gia, had shocking experience the
other night when she went to take
some eggs from a hens nest and
found the biddy setting calmly on
big black snake.
A hen belonging to the Allen poul-
try yard had made a nest in the
weeds at the edge of the. yard, and
was setting on a half dozen eggs.
When Mrs. Allen decided to take the
eggs away from the hen she went out
after dark, accompanied by her hus-
band, who held lantern. She took
two eggs away from the hen but
when she reached for the next two
her hand touched something cold.
Deciding to investigate she lifted the
hen and found a snake measuring
four and one-half feet calmly coiled
there, and neither snake nor hen ap-
peared to mind the unusual situa-
ton.
Mr.. Allen Immediately got busy
with a stick and put his snakeship
out of business.

WELL PAID FOR NOTHING
HENEY, PROSECUTOR OF GRAFT
Frs, HAS "A GOOD THING"
United States Gave Him $23 900 in
One Year, and He Performed No
Government Service at All.

WASHINGTON.-That Francis ].
Heney, special counsel of the de-
partment of justice, and also assist
ant prosecutor in the so-called graft
cases in san Francisco, received from
the government last year $4,000 for
which he performed no service was
the frank admission of Chairman
Tawney of the appropriation commit
tee in the house yesterday.
How much did Heney receive dur
ing the year 1902" demanded Mr..
Murphy of Missouri, ''and what SER
vice did he perform?"
He received $4,000, and per-
formed no services for the govern
ment whatever during that year. re-
piled Mr.. Tawney.
subsequently Mr.. Tawney said:
AS matter of fact Mr.. Heney has
not performed any active service for
the last three years. He was APP
pointed on Nov. Z, 1908, and his ac-
tive services continued for about
three years, and for which he re-
ceived in all $4,000"
Mr.. Tawney stated, however, that
Mr.. Heney's salary had nothing to
do with the $4,000 deficiency for
the department of justice for which
provision is made in the urgent de-
ficiency bill.
In Mr.. Mann Mr.. Heney found a
vigorous defender. THAT gentle
man." he said, needed no defense.
The only people opposed to him." he
remarked, "are those who sympathize
with some of those who have been
accused, II not convicted, of graft. 4"
Mr.. Burke of Pennsylvania called
the Illinoisan to order, saying that
Mr.. Mann's admission that Mr.. Heney
needed no defense disposed of the
necessity of consuming the time of
the house.
Il am glad" said Mr. Mann, that
only one member and he from the
great and pure state of Pennsylva-
mia, is opposed to Mr.. Heney." He
then took his seat.
Fearful that in some wav Mr..
Heney would get a further allowance
Mr. Fitzgerald offered an amendment
prohibiting it. This was voted down.

prohibiting the payment of any part
