MONT RAMSEY ASKS
! PUBLIC Tor HELP HIM
SOLVE HARD PROBLEM

There is domestic difficulty in
the Ramsey family which has been
passed up to the public for settle
ment
It all arose out Of a trip the fam
lily and relatives of Mont Ramsey and
himself took this week TO the top Of
Cimmarron mesa. about $500 feet in
altitude. and about 120 miles from
here.
A chicken hunt was the object of
the trip and Mr.. Ramsey was joined
by other members of the family from
Lake City and Louisville. Ky.
II was the first time the entire
tribe, so to speak. had all been to-
gether in thirty-six years, and the
occasion was a most enjoyable one
until the matter of dividing up the
results of the chicken hunt came up
Now it happened that the party
consisted of two fathers, two pairs of
brothers. three cousins, two uncles,
three nephews and three sons.
Upon counting the killing It was
found that there were twenty-eight
chickens to be apportioned to the
members of the party. Then the
trouble began. Pencils and paper,
fountain pens and shirt cuffs, were
brought INTO requlsitlon In an effort
to correctly compute the share each
would receive. but, alas, without
satisfactory settlement.
Consequently Mont Ramsey makes
the following offer to the readers of
The Sentinel:
To the person sending in the first
correct answer to the double ques-
tion How many were there in the
party. and how much chicken would
each receive on an equal division of
the 2S fowls?' he Mont Ramsey
will give free trip To Palisade and
return in his r. NJ. F. 30"
This is an absolutely bona f'@s Of
fer on the part of MIR RAMSEY and
answers to the p.Cuiem must be
mailed or brought into The Sentinel
office. addressed to Puzzle Editor.
Hurry, so you can get. the free ride
and settle the domestic controversy.

BACK TO PENITENTIARY
CITIZEN OF WILCOX GOES.
Violated the Parole Granted by Gov,
Smith.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 6.-For the first
time since the new parole law went
into effect nearly a year ago, for
mer convict under parole is to be
taken into custody and returned to the
penitentiary to finish out the unserv-
ed portion of his sentence
Inspector w. j. Flanders of the pen
itentiary department went to Wilcox
county to make the arrest of Archie
McDuffy, under orders from the pris-
on commission. McDuffy, white
man, was paroled by former Gov
Smith last April
1t seems that McDuffy took to drink
ing and few days ago was engaged
in riotous conduct in the town of Pine
view. 1t is said pistols were drawn
and results might have been serious
had it not been for interference.
Mayor Mcleod of Pineyiew report
ed McDuffy's conduct by wire to Gov.
Brown, who promptly turned the mat
ter over to the prison commission.
At any time until discharged from
his parole, the convict is subject to
rearrest, and the commission has de-
cided that in this case an arrest should
be made both as a punishment to the
guilty and as an example to other
convicts under parole

NORTH POLE AND MOVING PIC
TURES.
Jacksonville Times-Union J

L
In this rapid day, when things don't
move, but fly, and the graphic illus
trations thrown on canvas by the Won
derful picture machine daily, we ex-
pect to set the North Pole in our
midst pretty soon.
After the story of DR.. Cooks icy
triumph is scientifically discussed, il
will be disappointment too great to
explain unelss we see the heroes feat
in the ffve-cent theatre. It is one OF
those things which the moving picture
syndicate should glory in accomplish
ing. Sensations of near-justice, tales
of crime, and Chinatown horrors have
had their revels. We can have the
great and natural for only one FIVE
cent piece.
DR.. Cook shaking hands with the
Esquimaux, and doing a bear dance
as he sees the Stars and Stripes on
the top of the world-this is some
"OAIAly VI llIC llJONIuS picture
monopoly.
For a change, we would piteously
appeal to the great managers of the
world-thrilling entertainments to give
us something near the truth. That's
not asking much. One North Pole.
and the voyage thither through frigid
suns and geld evenings, and the wild
herd of good, eatable dogs following
as faithfully as only dogs can-why
not? We have been blinded by more
thrilling scenes than this, and it would
draw a more discriminating public.
1t would educate the audience who
enjoys hero near the buzz-saw al
most as we'll as peach ice cream.
The moon and Mars episode would
take kindly to the vibrating picture
The aid of nature fakirs could make
an astronomical show quite possible

GOV. BROWN NOT SWAYED
BY FRIENDS OR POLITICS.
Thinks Criminals Should Suffer for
Their Crimes.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 6-FoIlowing
close upon the Mitchell case, Gov.
Browns decision also not to interfere
with the sentence of the court in the
case of Olin Pharr, former cashier of
the Citizens Bank of McRae, who is
serving a four years sentence for
the embezzlement of $4,000, has serv-
ed to entrench him still further in
the public estimation among those
who believe that the law should be
enforced regardless of conditions and
influences.
Those who presented Pharr's appeal
for communication of sentence were
likewise political friends of Gov.
Brown, but the governor took the view
that he could not afford to pardon af-
ter fifteen months service a man con-
victed of stealing $4,000.
What an encouragement to embez-
zlers such a pardon would be-" Gov.
Brown said in discussing the case
with friends. There are plenty of
men who would be glad to serve time
in the penitentiary at the rate of ST.
900 month, and l verify believe it
would prove an inducement to some to
steal all they could, hide it away and,
after a few months Imprisonment,
come out to enjoy their ill-gotten
gains"
The governor did not propose at
least to make the executive party to
any such get-rich-quick schemes as
pardons in cases of this class might
encourage.

SHERIFF IN COL0RED COACH
IN CHARGE OF PRISONER
Judge Hines So Rules in Clay County
Case.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 6.-Has a sheriff
in charge of negro prisoner from
whom he cannot separate himself, the
right to ride in a passenger coach sci
apart in accordance with the law ex-
clusively for white passengers?
He has not, according to the view
of Judge James K. Hines, special at
torney for the railroad commission
whose opinion has been made law
through the commissions order.
A sheriff in such circumstances
Judge Hines holds, on the ground OF
"the greatest good to the greatest
number" must betake himself and his
ebony prisoner to the negro coach, as
distasteful as it may be to the Farm
of the law
The matter came before the commits
sion upon complaint of Sheriff Beard

DEPARTMENTS BIG DEFICIT.
philadelphia North American.)

Nfullauelphla North Americana
Judging from the figures in course
OF compilation at Washington, the
postotfice deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1909, will be about
the same as last year, when it was
$l6,S73,222. That broke the record,
and now there is a prospect that the
record may be broken again A large
part of this deficit is officially attrib-
uted to the large expenditures which
the maintenance of the rural free de-
livery system involves and which APP
proximate $35,OOO,OOO yearly.
Yet it is not proposed to abandon
that system or even to restrict it, and
1t is certain that any such proposition
would elicit a storm of protests. Ru-
raj free delivery has become a dis
tnctive and important feature of the
national existence. 1t has helped to
abate the loneliness of country life
and it has furnished that section of
the community whose productiveness
IS the greatest and the most indispen-
sable with convenience of which it
will certainly not allow itself to be
deprived.
Ex-Postmaster General Meyer sug-
gested a plan by which in his judg-
ment the deficit could be eliminated.
IL was that / parcels post service be
established o. the rural free delivery

The POlitest Colonel.
New YorR TeIegraph)

tNeW YORK geography
The citizens of Columbus, Ga,
claim that they have residing in their
midst certain elderly colonel" who
unquestionably is the most polite man
in the United States.
In substantiation of their claim they
relate the following.
The colonel, who is distinctively a
gentleman of the old school, one day
exercising very spirited horse in or
der to get him thoroughly city
broke" and accustomed to metropoli-
tan sights and sounds, was riding the
fidgety animal up close to all objects
which looked at all scary.
III the course of his ride the colonel
came in rather close proximity to one
of the big locomotives of the Georgia
Central railroad.
The colonel saw the engineer sit
ting in the cab of the engine. and, rid
ing up to him, he touched his hat,
bowed profoundly and said;
viii you do me the favah, sub, to
blow youah whistle, sub? have heah
a young boss 1 desiah to get accus-
toned to the whistle, sub"
Why, certainly" replied the engi-
neer, and turned loose a piercing
Shrek from the whistle.
The startled horse. made a quick
jump sidewayss>tiErew the colonel to
the ground and broke his leg.
But though the colonel had lost his
balance, he had by no means lost his
dignified poise and Unborn politeness,
and, picking himself up as best he
could he made another profound bow
to the engineer and said:
Il thank you, sub! 1 thank you"
