VIA
Seaboard Air Line.

Mr.. C. H. Gattis, D. P. A., and Mr..
Jas. Ker, Jr., c. P. A., Seaboard Air
Line, are arranging what will certainly
be the most popular and delightful tour
OF the season. Especially is this so as
the party leaves the Carolinas on Sep
tember 1st, 1909, the most delightful
time OF the whole year to go on your
summer trip, and they will visit all of
the principal points of interest in the
North-Wa Washington, Niagara Falls, To-
ronto, Thousand Islands, Montreal, Que
bee, Saratoga, four days in New York
City and Philadelphia, and all the New
York theatres will be open in full. An
attractive feature of this tour will be
the trip up the historic Potomac, pass
ing the grand old palatial home of 1.-THE
Father of His Country
The trip is to be made at the lowest
possible figure consistent with the first
class hGtels and other things connected
with the tour, which will include rail-
road fare, pullman, hotel accommoda-
tlons, meals, sightseeing trips, trans
fers, and in fact everything, with the
exception of meals in New York, and
few other minor expenses, nearly all
the sightseeing trips are included. This
last feature is very good one as it
will enable the party to spend the time
seeing the sights without the bother of
the details, which will be looked after
by Mr.. Gattis and Mr.. Ker, both of
whom have had wide experience in this
branch of the passenger service. Time
will be spent in Toronto during the Can
adian Exposition, and stops will be
made at all points of sufficient length
to enable the party to see all the points
OF interest without hurrying. Mrs. Cat
tbs and Mrs. Ker will chaperone the
tour, and ladies should not hesitate to
| % alone. The tour will prove a most
interesting one. A very attractive il
lustrated booklet containing detailed in
formation can be had upon application
oy letter or in person to the undersign-
ed, and those interested should write al
once, as the party will positively be
limited, and those applying first will get
the lower berths, so it will be to youl
advantage to book early Every detail
has been arranged with the view tt
making this most delightful arc com
Portable tour for all.

Correspondence of The Robesonian,


The dear old summer time is
here and fruit is ripening, to the
delight of all the ''grown-ups as
we'll as the young. :"
Picnics and baseball seem to be
the order of the day.
Last Saturday was the time
appointed for the picnic at Mt,
Tabor church. The day was beau
tiful and quite a crowd gathered
there to enjoy themselves. The
dinner was a great treat to all
that love good things. In the
afternoon the crowd went out to
the baseball grounds, where a
good game of ball was played be-
tween Mt. Tabor and Philadel-
phus. Our boys lost the game
| but do not feel discouraged. as
Philadelphus had help from some
other sources.

are being made to prevent the reap
pointment Of Franklin X. Lane as 4
member of the Interstate Commerce
commission, and that If he is defeated
through the supposed Vaccinations OF

elected. As Lane is in Europe study
ing switching charges and demurrage,
he cannot deny affirm or rcfute this

Edward II. Hartman was there, his

Hartman, and Hartman for sim

by his clothes
Harriman's secretary was seen to be
a man OF airs with trunks full of fash
ionable clothes and other fine things.
His jewelry. too, impressed observers.
Hartman came into his own one
day when he took the head of the
table, while the secretary occupied I
lower seat. What aston.shed the ho-
tel guests and natives most about Har-
riman was the prodigious number OF
kilograms and cables addressed to him
at all hours Of the day and night All
the world seemed to be communicat-
ing with Hartman. While reading
messages he hardly ever displayed any
interest in what they contained

carded dispatches. They tore up more

this a terrific waste.

Probate Clerk Walker started
something yesterday when he grant
ed a marriage license to John Schaef-,

Justice of Peace Perea put a double
hitch on the trouble when he pro-
nounced the marriage ceremony for
the two.
They secured their license in the
afternoon and ten minutes later they
were married. The Citizen had an
announcement of the wedding and
the news that John had become the
husband of another woman evidently
struck deep into the heart Of Viea
Victovish, an employe OF the Alvar-
ado hotel. Other girls at the hotel
saw the announcement of the mar
riage and twitted her about it and so
she became informed that John had
married another woman 1t was then
that she produced yellow and green
bill with / and two O's after il mark
ed in one corner. 1t resembled mon

did not recognize il as not being the

BAD JUDGMENT"
HIS ONLY OFFtHSt
Oppressive Insanity Has Never
Been Established. Declared
Official of Asylum
On the Stand
Today.

White Plains, n. Y, Aug. 3.-Dr
Amos T. Baker, of the Matteawan
state hospital was recalled to the
witness stand in the Thaw hearing
this morning and under questioning
by Morscnauzer, counsel for Thaw,
admitted that had it not been for the
Stanford White episode he would
have had no hesitancy in admitting
Thaw to the asylum.
Although the impression given by
DR.. Baker yesterday was that he as
serted Thaw showed no signs of par
anoia during the first three months
ne was in Matteawan, he declared
today he could not remember making
such a statement. He admitted,
however, he might have said it, Af-
ter detailing Thaw's life at the asy-
lum, Baker was asked:
did you ever tell Thaw there was
nothing the matter with his brain ?"
NO sir
Did you ever say to him that you
did not believe in souls?'
II cannot remember"
Mr.. Morschauzer tried to show
that Baker testified only to such
tatements and acts as tended to
now that Thaw was insane. He ad-
mitted saying at a former hearing
that a diagnosis of maniac Oppressive
insanity had never been established.
Asked whether or not he would GER
tify that Thaw was insane from per-
sonal observation, outside the White
episode. he said Thaw had shown
dad judgment" but admitted he
might hesitate to commit a prisoner
to the asylum for this.
Morschauzer was constantly baf-
fled by such answers as 81 don't
know" and 81 can't remember"
The witness told Mr.. Jerome he
had seen no change in Thaw's mental
condition since the decision of the
Poughkeepsie hearing, which de-
clarcd him insane.
Justice Mills, questioning DR. Bak-
er obtained the clearest statement
yet expressed regarding Thaw's SAN
ity. The witness said he did not
consider the opportunities for exam
nation sufficient to form a satisfac-
tory conclusion, but nevertheless de-
clared IL his belief that the prisoner
is now insane and his release would
be n menace to public safety.
Mr.. jerome then recalled Thaw,
who was evidently nervous and ques-
toned him about romantic letters"
to his wife.
