Defed q Mob.

Mrs. Martha Bulloch Roosevelt,
the former presidents mother, was a
Georgia woman, her family being one
of the oldest in the State. In her were
many of the traits which developed
In the son. One instance is typical of
her character. At the close of the
civil war, while feeling ran high,
Theodore Roosevelt, the elder, decid-
ed to give a great social function in
New York. He decorated his house
with the Stars and Stripes. Mrs.
Roosevelt, who was with the South in
her sympathies, went to her boudoir
and flung from her window the flag
of the Confederacy. A mob gathered
before the house threatening vio-
lence. To her husbands entreatles
that she remove the flag she returned
a defiant refusal. It was only when
the husband appeared before the mob
and explained his wife's sympathies
that they dispersed.-Boston Post.

= SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Citizen of Sally Wounded by Person
in WOman's Garb.

Sally, May 2s.-Last night at 10
O'Clock Mr.. Walter Brady, while re-
turning to his home from town was
shot by some one hidden behind a
small tool house owned by the rail-
road. The would-be assassin con-
cealed his identity under the guise
of a mothers robe, and this prob
ably saved his life, for Brady refrain
ed from firing, believing his assall-
ant to be woman. Mr.. Brady was
hit in the right hip by two bullets
from a .32-calibre pistol. An auto
mobile was sent to Barnwell for the
county bloodhounds, and they were
brought and put on the track OF the
would-be assassin. The dogs trailed
for four hours but finally lost the
track in the public road. Blood
hounds from Columbia were brought
down to Sally on Southern train NO.
20, but were not turned loose, as
there was no possible chance OF their
getting the right track, which had
been trampled by hundreds of de-
termined men, who were up all night
searching for the guilty party.
Mr.. Brady has been in Sally but a
short while, but during his stay here
he has won friends among the best
people in the community. Mr..
Brady was not dangerously wounded,
and at this writing is resting easy.
Although away from home he Is re-
ceiving every attention. 1t is hoped
that in a few days he will be out and
again at his work. No arrests have
yet been made.

The South is Going Dry.

Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor ball at last,
For miracle has happened and the
olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee famous
doesn't foam in Tennessee
And the lid in old Missouri Is as
tight locked as can be
o, the comic paper Colonel and his
cronies well may sigh,
For the mint is waving gayly, but the
South is going dry.
By the stillside on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill;
Moth Ca'olina's stately gov'nor gives
his soda glass shove
And discusses local option with the
South Ca'lina gov;
It is useless at the fountain to be
winkful Of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and
the South is going dry.
It is water, water everywhere
not drop to drink!
We no longer hear the music of the
yellow crystal clink
When the colonel and the major and
the gen'l and the jedge
Meet to have a little nip to give
their appetites an edge,
For the eggnog now is noggless and
the rye has gone awry
And the punch bowl holds carnations
and the South is going dry.
All the night caps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head.
Not the night caps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the blue grass
is as solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent clove-tang
on it's odorific breath;
And each man can walk chalk line
when the stars are in the sky,
For the fizz glass now is fizzless and
the South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine and the olden days are
past;
Now the water wagon rumbles
through the Southland on its
trip
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick up the drivers whip,
For the mintbeds make pasture and
the corkscrew hangeth high
All is still along the hillside and the
| South is going dry.

added. "a prohibitory law always

and pressed his brutal mouth to her

blind rage, but the man laughed
boldly. "I'll kiss her if like! There
are no prohibitions in License

OF Pianos

You will never find a piano just
like the artistic Stieff.
There is an individuality
about the Stieff piano all its
own.
That beautiful singing, sonor-
Gus tone, wondrous volume
and perfect action, place it in a
sphere above all comparison.
Why should any one buy an
inferior piano when they can
buy the artistic Stief or Shaw
piano direct from its maker?
The price Is within reach Of the
most economical buyer while
the grade is beyond competi-
tion.
Don't take chances Of buying

about the same, with an ever-extend-

The balance of the drilling

level. Two machines are working
abreast stopping tut thirty feet of ore
from this point. No dead work is be-
ing done and nothing in the nature of
strictly development work.
The new twelye-drill compressor
plant, complete, with a dynamo to
operate 1t, has arrived on the ground
and Is being installed. Power is
promised by May IS. AT that time
the additional machinery will be

D. R. c. BROWN TO BUY
THE Big PIONEER MINES
The Purchaser Proposes to Work Ev-

a Colorado Millionaire.

GOLDFIELD. May 4.-This week
should bring an official statement to
the effect that ID. r. G. Brown, the
millionaire mine owner of Aspen,
Colorado, who was in Goldfield a few
days ago, has purchased several
large interests in Pioneer, the new
camp to the south, including control
of the famous Pioneer Mining CON-
pany, which corporation is largely re-
sponsible for the birth OF the town.
When Mr.. Brown was in Goldfield
he stated frankly that he was look
ing for a mine-not a prospect
and that he would divide his time be.
tween Pioneer and Goldfeld. He
slipped down to Pioneer and then as
quietly continued east and returned
to Denver. AS to whether he will
make any announcement regarding
the acquisition of any Goldfeld prop
erty is not known at this time. Mr.
Brown. undoubtedly has tremendous
faith in Pioneer, and when the deals
are closed he will probably set G pace
for mining that will make ever the

the find made Saturday in the Rick

lease from which so much Shipping

drift run from the 100-foot station
