COUGAR FOR
= A PASSENGER

Spokane, Wash, June s.
Grant Turnbull, a stage driver,
operating between Newport and
Elk, Wash, north Of Spokane,
had an experience he will not
forget for some time. While
driving along the narrow noun
tain road near, Rogers Pass
his horses became frightened
and bolted. The driver man
aged by sheer fortune to keep
the wheels Of the coach In the
ruts, and after the horses had
expended their energy he made
an investigation. Perched in
the rear Of the coach was a
ferocious cougar. Before the
animal could spring upon him.
Turnbull used the butt Of his
heavy whip, but the big cat
leaped W. his head and dis
appeared in the timber before
he could infiict the death blow.
Settlers in the northern part
of Spokane county report cou-
gar numerous, but this Is the
first instance of a stage driver
having one as q passenger.
Turnbull claims a new record
for driving a coach from the
point where he discovered the
cougar to Newport.

GREAT SPEECH


In a larger sense, we cannot
deuicate-we cannot consecrate-
we cannot hallow-this ground.
The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here, have conse-
Grated 1t, far beyond our poor
power to add to or detract. The
world will little note, nor long
remember what we say here, but
1t can never forget what they did
here. 1t Is for us the living,
rather, to De dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far
so nobly advanced. It is rather
Tor us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion
that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died In
yain-that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth Of
freedom-and that government
or the people. by the people, for
the people. shall not perish from

Meanwhile a crowd had gathered and
Chief Subridge skirted the Goat island
shore looking for the body, but could
see nothing of it. Cohen Joined them,
always insisting that the body must
have stopped short of the cataract and
might be rescued by men daring
enough.
william M. Barnett and Hugh
Brown, who had Joined the searchers,
finally spied the body just before z
o'clock. 1t was held fast by a rock,
about 100 feet above the brink. With
out ropes Brown and Barnett waded
out into the stream and. moving care

the body. Just as Brown touched the
body the current caught 1t again and it
whirled around in an eddy. 1t was

Life was quite extinct.
Cohen says that worry over the fact
that she was unable to suckle her in

probably caused her desire for death.

SMITH is WORKING TO
GET INTO THE RAGE
Will Oppose Gov. Brown in
Campaign
For Governor---Such at
Least is Opinion in
Circles Political.

Atlanta, Nov Whether it is his
purpose or not, the people of the state
are firmly convinced that former Gov.
Hoke Smith is preparing to announce,
January /, as a candidate for governor
subject to the primary of 1910. ANY
anyone in Georgia wherever you may
be, and two out of three will express
the confident belief that he is going
to be in the race. Mr.. Smiths line
of conduct for some months past has
indicated that he is still decidedly in
the political field, and there is nothing
near at hand for him to run for except
the governorship.
He has been speaking here and
there over the state and sending out
literature, the only apparent object of
which could be is to keep himself be
fore the people for political purposes.
The general opinion seems to be,
however, that Mr.. Smith will have to
make very different sort of a cam
paign from that he made the first
time; that the same denunciation of
railroads and corporations in which he
then engaged will hardly go again
There is much interest, therefore, in
knowing just what issues he will put
to the front.

AUTOISTS IN FORCE TO
TIE SHOW IN ATLANTA
Many Motorists in AmeriCuS
Will Attend.

Americus motorists as we'll as
many others interested in automo-
biles are going in force to the auto
races in Atlanta, not, however, as any
portion of a dusty parade, but upon
their individual account. Several here
will so uD in their cars during the
week, while other parties will go by
train, but all with the one purpose of
seeing the show
The automobile show. on the part OF
the manufacturers, is, of course, pure
ly an advertising feature, but the man.
ufacturers have got something a wholG
lot OF people want, and they are going
from all directions to see it.
At this show the American Motor
Car Manufacturers Association and
the Automobile Association of Amer
lea are combined and the show
is open to any manufacturer who de.
sires to exhibit. There will be sixty
exhibitors of automobiles proper, and
as many more exhibitors of automo-
bile accessories.
The manufacturers are counting on
large orders of machines in the South
the coming season, and the indica-
tions are that they will not be disap
| pointed. Throughout Georgia orders
for new machines are abundant. 1t
seems as if almost every other man
| one meets from this section has just
bought a machine or is waiting to take
a look over the stock when it is shown
in Atlanta,
South Georgia made splendid crop
of cotton and with the high prices, it
looks as if almost everyone has money
in the bank. Lots of them who have
it are trying to find ways of spending
and the purchase of an automobile
seems to be one of the most satisfac.
tory.

Must Inject New Issues.

There is the state treasury situation
in the discussion of which the former
governor has been conspicuous, but
that is hardly a matter out of which a
campaign issue of any consequence
could be made. Nobody blames for
mer Gov. Smith for treasury cOndi-
tions any more than they could blame
Gov. Brown
So far as his term OF office has gone
GOV. Brown has apparently done moth
ing upon which he can be attacked.
In fact certain of his acts have re-
cefyed the warm approval of Mr.
Smiths friends
But the old feeling of hostility is
still present, and wherever one goes in
Georgia be is SURE 10 find it, 1t is a
case for Which former Gov. Smith
furnished '}e phrase, of two schools
OF thoug' in Georgia And the
SMITH school has and will continue TO
have ifs ardent and persistent follow
ers, who can be turned by no fear of
punishment or hope of reward.

NEW RECORD WAS MADE
IN PRICE OF STAPLE
Quarter Gent Additional Is
the Gain
January is Near Fifteen
Cents Mark. Many
Farmers Holding.

Fourteen and a half cents today;
10 cents day hence; probably 16, II
cents; who knows, ere the last of the
present small crop is gatherer. That's
the way the situation looks now to
the observant farmer, who is sitting
up and taking notice of the fight of
cotton prices as he never did before
Americus warehouses hold many of
his bales, while the ginhouse at home
holds others.
Fifteen cents would be low valua-
t1on for this cotton, and the man who
made it is aware of the fact There
fore, he will sit steady and hold it.
No danger of it's ever going lower
this season. The panic among the
spinners is on, and, despite the cry
of mills closing down they are after
the actual cotton and will soon pay
any price to obtain it.
Mills cannot run without cotton, and
the farmer is the man who holds the
goods.
The contract market took a plunge
upward yesterday 1t plunges that
way every day now, and the jump yes
terday alone was more than quarter
cent. January contracts opened at
14.71 and closed at 1495-just within
5 points of Is cents. And that little
margin will be wiped out today
Therei no telling to what height
the market will climb.
Farmers have very generally paid
up their years Indebtedness; they
have even paid for their costly expe-
rience in selling cotton at 10 cents
for October delivery. They have some
cottotn left, and they will sit with the
fellow who eats the pie at their ex-
pense and demand a slice of the pas
try.
. Things are coming his way at last,
There will probably be $500 or 1900
bales additional marketed in Americus
this season, and it will bring the
cents; nobody can
predict the end.
