PRISONER IN JAIL NOT

Not the Man Who Bit the

from Macon, where he went to take
a bird's-eye view of the celebrated
prisoner held by the officers there for
identification, but he did not brin2

caught the Hotel Windsor for $S1.
For the beautiful unknown" on the
Macon coop was some other than

Pittsburg checks.
Mr.. Waters was permitted to see the

sufficient to convince him that the
prisoner was not the $8l bank check
manipulation.
The Windsor Hotel has placed its
case in the hands OF detectives, and
its man may be located.
The worthless check on which Clerk
Waters was caught was drawn on the
Mercantile Trust Company of Pitts
burg, Pa, and made payable to NJ J.
Newell, and signed Duquesne Glass
Company, by l.. c. Rivers, and was for
$81.

DOORS or COLLEGE TO
OPEN IN Ten DAYS
Outlook for Success the
Brightest.
Sumter to Have a Large
Attendance There
Next Session.

The Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical School will open the fall
term Tuesday the 31st, inst At that
time all new pupils are expected to re-
port for the examinations. Many Of
the old pupils may not report until a
week later at which time the regular
recitatiOns will begin. However, it is
preferred that the pupils who have
been in attendance the past term,
should report at the earliest possible
date
During the last term 116 pupils
were enrolled, representing twenty
counties in Georgia, and four states.
This school is peculiarly a Sumter
county institution open to all the peo-
pie in the whole country The school
is convenient and offers such advant-
ages as to induce people from out the
State to patronize it.
There are many reasons why Sumter
should increase her patronage in the
school
Referring to catalogues before us,
We find that the 1908 catalogue of the
Carrolton school shows all enrolment
of 1874 and that 81 attended from Car
roll county.
The catalogue of the Monroe school,
in the Fifth district, for the same year
shows an enrolment of 119, and that
50 were enrolled from Walton county.
BarnesVille, for the year 1909, the
county in which the Gordon Institute
is located enrolled II pupils, and ii
attended from Pike.
Sumter should have large attend
ance at the Americus school Many Of
the citizens of the county do not know
the advantages that are being offered
at the school. Superintendent Collum
requests that every reader of this ar
ticle-, who iE friend 10 the school, to
avail themselves of every opportunity,
for one week, to tell those who may be
interested, about the advantages offer
ed at the school,
1t will help the school, help Ameri-
Gus. and Sumter county
The school has been highly endorsed
by two eX-GovernOrs, the Southern
Cultyator and Chancellor Barrow.
Such endorsement should induce every
citizen to pull for the school that it
may continue to lead. Call Superin-
tendent Collum up over the phone and
tell him of pupils that may be inter
ested in the school.
The banner year for the school is
about to open Let all pull for the

A TERRIBLE ARRANGEMENT.

Under the caption, Pure Scoun- drelism in Tennessee" The Louis vile Courier-Journal has one of the most lurid and remarkable editorials that ever appeared in newspaper. 1t shows on it's face that it was writ ten by Mir. Watterson himself and as a specimen of iWvective is worthy of reproduction.
 "Unmitigated vilainy is the only adequate description of the anomalous conditions prevailing in Tennessee. The union of the proscriptive preach CT with the self-seeklng politician to obtain power under the temperance plea recalls the days of Cotton Mother not the days of Andrew Jackson. Men who are so ready to confiscate their neighbours property would not hesitate to burn that neighbor at the stake.
 The success Of the combine between the scoundrels who call themselves Democrats and the slick Republicans who are ripe for any deed of shame promising party advantage, will not 1n the least abate the use of intoxi- cants; 1t will not remotely serve the cause of God and morality; but, on the contrary, 1t will convert com munity of free men into community of slaves: 1t will displace from the public spirit honesty and establish dishonesty; it will promote adultera- zion and extortion; it will introduce Inc spy system as an arm of govern ment and permeate and corrupt every artery ofSthe body politics. In short the rogues who work 1t will make Tennessee what Maine has been for nearly sixty years-what Georgia and Alabama are fast becoming-ths shrine of fanaticism and fraud, the fortress of bigotry and outlawry, the home of the smuggler and the fence of the thief
 We reproduce from Harpers
 eekly elsewhere In this issue of The ourier-Journal very interesting
 , illum'natiive history of the prac-
 I working of prohibition in the
 te of Maine.
 ''No one can read this without ao-
 rrence mingled with disgust. Be- seen rebel-baiting and psalm-sing- ng the Devils own. aided by the po- itical preachers of Maine, have done

a land office business. The result is q rare showing of religion in poli- tics. As long as the clericals sbriek- ed, Down with rum, and shut their eyes to the sale of it, Republican ma jorities mounted to the hundred thou sand mark. Rum, Romanism and Re- bcllion' were the three counts of the Republican indictment of Democracy and the South Hatred of the southern people was the animating spark. Graft
 as the moving principle. But, with the appearance of Governor who took prohibition seriously, there came d change. Enforcement reduced the Republican majority to less than ten thousand. Now, the enforcement acts are to be repealed, God and Morality must loosen up bit the canting, prosecuting, longhaired, diabolical preachers in politics are to sing loud CT and pray longer that the traitors of Democracy and the South may be doubly hanged and trebly damned, whilst the smuggler and the adultera- tor and the extortionist look to t that the Grand Old Party of the
 Bloody Shirt may regain it's lost ground and recover it's normal strength at the ballot box.
 Yet, in the face of such things. there are rascals. fools and liars who dare to say that man may be a Prohibitionist and remain a Demo- crat,"
 Tn commenting on the above edi- torial the Charlotte, (N. C.,) Obser- yer says:
 Mir. Watterson is too severe. The of Tennessee, clerical and lay, are trading on the blood ,'f Carmack, it is true, and political and personal perfdy are practiced ami applauded in the name of morality; platform pledges and campaign prom ises are kicked out of the door on the JpSulJidl SI ouuu IliL lhO Shu JuoeA ties the means and the State has nev- CT before fallen so low in the scale of integrity and honor. But those may be described, as may those in Maine, without resort to the extreme language which our honor able friend and contemporary en- ploys. As for the concluding para graph 1t, like other sentences in this editorial, is quite too broad. While it does not assert that those who say that a man may De Prohibltlonlst and remain a Democrat are "rascals. fools and liars" such deduction might be drawn by carpers from this lan- guage and such an imputation would be unjust and unpardonable, for many sincere and honest men really believe this very thing.
