Gouverneur, N. Y, June SIT was
learned today that the secret sutton of
pretty Leilah Hamilton, who was
mysteriously poisoned and who diei
suddenly at he home in De Grasse, Is
the son of wealthy farmer living
near Decrease. ..s. y,
1t was also learned that the young
man has recently purchased drugs of a
fatal nature at Canton.
He is being closely watched and his
arrest is imminent. 1t may be de-
layed until the grand jury has heard
the evidence in the case. The grand
jurors are awaiting the result of the
chemical analysis being made of the
girls stomach and other organs.
Arsenic the Cause.
The report OF the physician frs.
called was that Miss Hamilton had
died Of arsenical poisoning and the au-
topsy bore this out The report of the
state chemist will undoubtedly confirm
this.
All the evidence at hand points to a
cruel, heartless murder. The death
Of the pretty nineteen-year-old St.
Lawrence county belle, was not due 10
natural causes. according to the state
ment of Assistant District Attorney
Dolan. who is in charge Of the case. He
believes she died from a drug taken at
the bidding of an admirer to hide an
earlier wrong.
What the drug was will be shown by
the chemical analysis of the stomach
and organs OF the dead girl now being
made by noted chemist at the de-
mand Of the coroner.
Burial Was Today.
The remains OF the dead girl were

AT WINSTON-SALEM

wINSTON-SALEM, N. c., Nov. 16.-
Five bodies have been recovered and the
work of rescue is being rushed in the
hope of finding six or seven others, who
are believed to be buried under an EN-
bankment which caved in on the south
side of Salem creek at 8 o'clock this morn
ing.
The work gang, composed of Italians
and negroes. were employed by the H. j..
Collier company of Cleveland, Ohio, and
were engaged in cutting out the embank-
ment for the purpose of installing con-
crete abutment for an immense steel tres
tie across Salem creek.
Other workmen who witnessed the cave
in. gave the alarm and great gangs of
rescuers were shortly at work. The five
bodies recovered were brought out short
ly after noon, and IL is believed the others
will be uncovered today. None of them
are supposed to be alive.
1t is estimated that 1000 cubic
feet of dirt fell on the men. Four OF
the men were Germans, two Ameri-
cans and others were Poles.

SUGAR WEIGHERS
ARE INDICTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Although no Of
fetal confirmation could be had today,
either from customs officials or from uni
ted States District Attorney Wise, the
report is persistent that indictments have
been found against number of govern
ment weighers. alleged to be connected
with the Weighing frauds perpetrated by
the American Sugar Refining company
at its Williamsburg docks.
The report from Washington that list
of % assistant weighers had been fur
nished to the United States civil service
commission by the collector at New
York of men implicated in the frauds in
question, was confirmed by Deputy Sur
veyor Richard Parr.
LIST OF INnICTASTl
NJ. Parr admitted that . N@E ~ ~S@r
desirahles'' had been prepared ~ &4E and
forwarded TO the secretary OF the treas
ury. He intimated, however, that list
was much longer than that referred to
by the United States civil service COM
mission, and that when the final shake
UP" came, more than % would be drop
ped.
The belief is becoming general that a
congressional investigation of the New
York custom house will be ordered.
At the headquarters of the American
Sugar Refining company, President w
B. Thomas issued a denial of a report
that he intended to resign. A report that
c. H. SEMI had resigned as director was
also denied, it being explained that Mr.
Senff had merely declined a reelection.

CLAY COUNTY rs PROUD
OF EX-GOV. HOKE SMITH

Ex-Gov. Hoke Smith recently addressed
a great crowd of Clay county citizens at
Fort Gaines. A recent issue of the Fort
Gaines Sentinel, discussing his speech,
said:
"At 2:3O o'clock Colonel King again
called the attention of the large crowd to
the fact that seats were at premium,
and that all who desired to hear Hon.
Hoke Smiths address had best be hunt
ing a seat in the auditorium or gallery.
In a very short while every available foot
of space was filled and an eager. happy
throng were waiting to hear the ex-
governor. If any one thinks that we
would attempt to describe the mastery
way in which he held and entertained
the large crowd he or she are away on.
That is too much to ask. Suffice it to
say that when you have imagined about
the most intensely interesting hour and a
half of talking on scientific agriculture
and the social condition that could be
had. you would but poorly describe this
mastery, quiet, unimpassioned address.
Educational and entertaining alike, Ii
was all that Mr.. Smiths greatest admir-
ers could have expected. The truth is
Hoke Smith Is a great man, and though
many may not admire him altogether,
none can deny that as an orator and ed
ucator he has but few equals. Mr.. Smith
has many admirers in Clay county, and
It is a safe thing to say that last Fri
days address did not decrease the num-
Der. II any one expected him to touch
upon matters personal or political, they
were sadly mistaken. Not one syllable
of this escaped him, and no one could
have thought from anything he said that
only recently the mere mention of his
name was enough to excite the widest
enthusiasm. Georgia is proud Of Hoke
Smith, and Clay county is in Georgia"

CAROLINA SUPREME COURT
TO DECIDE NEAR-BEER TAX

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 16.-The North
Carolina supreme court today heard elab-
crate argument on, and took under con-
sideration, the noted appeal of the State
VS.. ]. Brannenburg, from Charlotte, the
determination of which is awaited with
intense interest alike by North Carolina
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists as
settling the right of municipalities In
North Carolina to control the near-beer
problem with high license tax.
Charlotte imposed a $1,000 tax, which
Brannenburg defied, claiming that near
beer is no more than the average soft
drink and cannot be singled out for ex-
cessive taxation apart from soda fountain
drink generally.
The State Anti-Saloon League executive
COMMITTEES have just declared it's purpose
to make a fight in the next election for

lature, in the event the courts sustain the

QUIET CITY ELECTION
FORECAST FOR DALTON

DALTON, Ga, Nov. 1S.-It is announced
that Hon. P. B. Trammell will be in the
race for mayor and 1t looks as If he will
be elected without opposition. The cleo
ton will be held three weeks from today.
In the First ward, Frank A. Hamilton
will offer for reelection to the council,
and. so far, no opposition to him has de-
veloped. In the Fourth ward. John
Thomas will probably be elected without
opposition. In the Fifth ward the race
will probably be between W. E. Mann
and Huse Longley, and in the Eighth,
George King will probably be returned
without opposition.
In only one ward will there be a race
between two or more men for council,
and even there 1t is not certain that two
men will run. From the present outlook
1t would seem that the election will be
held more as a matter of form than any,
thing else. as few. If any, men will oppose
each other for office.
