DIES FROM EFFECT
OF POISONED BEER
CARPENTER AT PATERSON, NJ. j.,
sUCCUMBS WHILE HIS HOUSE,
KEEPER RECEIVERS.

PATERSON, n. j., Oct. What
bids fair to be double poison tragedy
was cut in half Tuesday night by the
recovery of Mary Webb, housekeeper
for Edward Provost, a carpenter of
this city, who died "wednesday morn
Ing of the effects of poisoned beer
that both drank the night before.
Mrs. Webb, after remaining in criti-
cal condition all day, rallied and is
now considered out of danger.
The case is a mystery. Why physi-
clans are inclined to think that strych-
nine was put in the beer, this will not
be ascertained until an autopsy on
Provost's body is held. The police
nave no clew, and can assign no mo-
i've for any one seeking to poison the
carpenter. He had little money and
no enemies, SO far as is known.

some time between January and April.
1t goes without saying that the com
mittee will throw all of the safeguards
of the law around the primary. With
only few changes in it's personnel
the present committee has been in
charge of the party affairs in this
county for the past six years and dur
ing all that time it has insisted that
the primary should be just as fair and
legal as the general election. That
there will be no deviation from this
policy is absolutely assured.
The committee is composed of thir-
ty-two members, one from each Of the
old districts. except the ninth, twelfth
and thirteenth The ninth has FIVE
members and the twelfth and thir-
tenth two each. Chairman Smiser is
very anxious that there should be a
full attendance of the members.

NEGRO HACK IAN

| CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct T.
A negro hackman late Tuesday night
attempted assault on Mrs. Matte
| Satcher Mrs. Satcher reached this
city from Atlanta on her way to
Huntsville to visit her sister. She
approached negro hackman and ask
ed to be driven to a medium-priced
hotel. The negro drove her to the
country Mrs. Satcher saw that she
was being taken out of the city. She
sprang from the hack, but the negro
seized her and re. laced her in the
carriage, telling her he would bring
her back to the city. Instead, he
drove at top speed towadr the woods.
She again succeeded in jumping from
the cab The negro followed her,
throwing his arms about her. The
woman's screams frightened him. and
he sprang into the hack and drove
away.
Mrs. Satcher was found later by Of
ficers PROSTATE and historical. A
large posse joined the officers, and
threats of lynching were freely made.
At 2 o'clock Wednesday morning the
assailant of Mrs. Satcher was captured

was landed in jail.

PEABODY BONDS
ARE TIED UP
BANK WON'T TURN THEM OVER
ON DEMAND OF DAVIDSON
COUNTY COURT.
Special to The Herald.

! Special to The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. THE
American National Bank this morning
refused to turn over the bonds issued
by Davidson county in aid Of the
George Peabody College for Teachers
to County Judge Pollarl The de-
mand was made in accordance with a
resolution passed by the County Court.
This action will probably precipitate
litigation. The county claims it's
right to withdraw the bonds because
of the condition imposed subsequent
to their issue that the college be re-
moved from the present site to the
vicinity of Vanderbilt University. The
attitude of the bank is that there are
two bodies corporate interested in the
bonds, that various trust funds have
been created, each in a sense depend
ent on the other, each donator expect
ing that the five separate funds would
be merged in the endowment fund of
the George Peabody College for
Teachers under these conditions. and
new college for teachers is undeter-
mined, the Bank would not be justi-
fable in turning the bonds over to
any officer of either corporation.

mented on the healthfulness of the
county, bringing out the fact that de
spite the large number of negroes that
camp around the phosphate mines no
epidemics have occurred, nor has it
ever been necessary to station guards
on the turnpikes leading to Columbia
in the enforcement of guarantees
Mr.. Georgory devoted a good portion
of his argument to a discussion of
railroad schedules and showed con-
clusively that greater number of
pupils can reach Columbia from Mid
die Tennessee points, at smaller ex-
pense, than would be possible were
the schools located elsewhere, with
the exception of Nashville.
Or. E. E. Collins.
Following Mr.. Gregory DR.. E. E.
Collins, of Columbia, spoke briefly,
showing the pre-eminent healthful-
ness of Maury county.
White, of Lawrence county; County
Superintendent Stinson, of Marshall
county; Senator Clarence Turner, of
Humphreys county and Esq. Short. of
Hickman county. Each of the speak
ers stated that he came by the direc-
ton of the county court of his home
county to second the claims of Column
bia. All of these speakers showed
that their respective counties were far
mere convenient to Columbia than to
any other town in the central grand
division of the State.
Judge Fry then stated that he had
Just received from Hon. Ed. Eslick
of Pulaski, and one or two others who
we're down on the program, advising
that they were unable to come, but
that their counties were solidly back
ing up Maury.
Judge Fry laughingly suggested that
Prof Loggins, member of the Board,
could represent Dickson county, which
Is in this congressional district. I'VE
expect Prof. Loggins to do for us
what Prof. Todd is trying to do for
he said humorously.
in concluding Judge Fry pointed out
hat the accessibility of Columbia as
| railroad center would make 1t i'm
possible for local residents TO extor-
ion in charges for board, that the
,upils could board in any of the near
~ towns, attend the school daily, at
cost of ten or fifteen cents for rail-
DAD fare.

If there had been forty-five cases of smallpox in town last year, and the vaccination of citizens had reduced that number to eight this year, what would you say? That vaccination is a success.
 If your son should swear forty five times in one day, and you should hold an audience with him in the woodshed and he should swear only eight times the next day, what would you say? That the woodshed inter- view was a success.
 If debtor failed and you expected to lose forty five dollars. but under 8 keeper you lost only eight, what would you say? That the keeper proved a success.
 We'll, then, if under license there were forty five arrests for drunken ness last year, and under no-license there were only eight (the period of comparison is nine months what will you say. That no-license is a trem- endous success in preventing drunken ness. There is no other conclusion possible.
 Is it possible, fellow citizens. that after such a showing as no-lioense has made, under great difficulties, too, as some of you know, you are going to be deceived and deluded by those old, time worn assertions of the friends of license that 'No-license does not prevent drunkenness and does not diminish the sale of liquor ?" And what about that old scarecrow, If you have no-license there will be great many blind tigers?'" We have always maintained that the ex- perience here would be the same as it is elsewhere, and that we should have fewer illegal resorts under no-license than under license. The figures bear us out. The officers have found it very difficult to make seven raids, whereas last year they made nineteen, sixteen in one night. The truth is, friends, that license never prevents the illegal sale of liquor, but mo- license does prevent the legal sale and diminishes the illegal sale.
 Some of you were not to blame for not believing our fair promises when we asked you to vote no-license. We had nothing but our word for it, and we did not have a single fact in Stafford. But now that we have facts, official records, undisputed statements. you will certainly be con- sidered queer if you do not listen to us, at least until the license forces can produce better facts, and facts more eloquent and convincing than the empty kegs from which liquor that was legitimately brought into towr has been drawn. Photographs ol empty beer kegs at the freight house are no match for pictures of sober men in happy homes. That is [ picture "no artist can paint" Be lieve the facts.
