"Anti-Jug" Law Planned.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A series OF
conferences were held by house lead
ers to-day to determine on some
method of getting the house to agree
to legislation that will regulate the
shipment of liquor from State to
State. Representative James E.
Watson, of Indiana, Republican
whip,' whose defeat for governor OF
his State last November, is charged to
his anti-liquor platform, is leading
the fight for the proposed legislation.
The programme finally decided upon
probably will be to tack liquor legis-
[lation on to the bill for the codidca-
ton of the penal laws of the United
States, which has privileged char
acter on the house calendar. AS a
bill for this purpose has already pass
ed the senate, it is believed that both
houses can be brought to an agree
ment to enact liquor legislation more
quickly than by voting on separate
bill.

Arrested in Augusta.

Laurens, Jan. 31.-In response to
telegrams sent out everywhere by
Chief of Police William S. BagweH on
the day of the police-yeggman trag-
edy here, the purport Of which was
to put the officers on the lookout for
the deceased burglars supposed pal,
Chief Bagwell last night received a
letter from the chief of police of Au-
gusta,. Ca, stating that he had in
custody a young white man who had
been fined in the recorders court
800 for some offense and seemed
anxious to pay out; that he was un-
known there and was regarded as a
suspicious character; that he would
hold him for Identification, it being
understood from here that the dead
man and his partner had been seen
together by certain ,Laurens people
day or. so prior to the killing. In
consequence of this letter Chief Bag
well this afternoon sent Steve Owens,
night watchman at the Watts mills,
to Augusta to see the man held there.
Owens claims to have noted the two
men while they were at Heaton's
shop at Watts mills, giving particular
attention to the one who remained
outside while the yeggman who met
his death the next night was inside
buying a coca-cola. He is positive ne
can identify the fellow. 1t is possible
that the Augusta authorities man
may be brought here if there be the
least clue to connect him with the
dead man.

Preached Hypnotism.

Spartanburg, Jan. 25.-The Rev.
81 M. Roper, pastor of the First Bap
ztist church, delivered novel and un-
usual sermon last night before a
large congregation. The subject OF
the sermon was the Emanuel Move
ment," but the speaker devoted most
of his time and attention to hypno-
stism, which, he said, is being largely
used in the treatment of diseases, and
supon which he said the Emanuel
movement is ~avowedly based. Mr..
Roper declared he had given much
study to hypnotism, and had himself
;practiced hypnotism several times on
subjects. He said he could teach
anybody how, to hypnotic in three
minutes. However, he would not do
$50, as he did not favor entrusting
this power to just any and every
body The sermon was striking
one, and would have created a SEN
sation if preached from any orthodox
pulpit ten years ago. 1t possesses
even now elements of novelty, and
deals with the occult in sympathetic
smanner that seems unique, coming
from the pulpit.

Statehood Measure Introduced.

Washington, Jan. 30.-An omnibus
bill providing separate statehood for
the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona was introduced in the house
to-day by Representative Hamilton OF
Michigan, chairman of the house
committee on territories. The bill
was framed by the Republican mem
bers of the committee and submitted
to the minority members, who have
approved it.
New Mexico is given two represen-
tatives in the house, to be elected at
large, and the city of Sante Fe is
designated as the capital of the State
until 1920.
For Arizona, Phoenix is designated
as the capital until 1920. Arizona is
given one representative in the house.
Hearings on the bill will be held by
the committee on territories. next
week and it probably will be reported
the end of the week. -. & &

Discomfort.

written for The Herald.)
The rich and the poor, the admired
and caressed,
In the midst of their blessings out
seldom are blest,
There is something still wanting,
which, when they obtain,
Another new wish is beginning 70
reign.
In childhood we wish for an age
that's mature,
'Tis liberty then that we wish to pro-
cure.
In manhood the scares overbalance
the pleasure,
We wish then for ease, for retirement
and leisure.
What we wish is attained-for
awhile it can charm,
But solitude then rises up to alarm.
Now we've time to examine our king
dom within.
Where we find that warfare is like
to begin
Still the love that our ease dlsln-
clines us to fight.
And we run off like towards, and
give up our right.
They are happy alone who enlist in
their youth,
Beneath the bright banner of virtue
and truth,
Tis such, though they be not ad-
mired or caressed
That alone can in storms or in sun
shine be blest.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.
Vastine Chavis, Wanted in Georgia
for Larceny of Live Stock.

Lexington, Jan. &C. E. Hall,
chief detective for the State of Geor-
gia, with the assistance of Sheriff P.
H. Corley and Deputy Sheriff Sim j.
Miller yesterday morning captured a
white man by the name of Vastine
Chavis, wanted in Richmond county,
Ca, upon the charge of horse steal
ing. The arrest was made at the
home of Britt Hutto, in the sand
hills, where Chavis had been spend
ing a few days with his relatives.
When the officers approached, it is
said Chavis made a desperate effort
to raise his gun to shoot, but was
prevented from carrying out his pur-
pose by Sheriff Corley, who grabbed
the weapon and threw it to the
ground.
The warrant upon which Chavis
was arrested was issued by Judge
William F. Eve, of the city court of
Augusta, and charges Chavis with
horse stealing.
On the night of the 9Th of Janu-
Ary, Chavis, it is alleged, stole a
mule belonging to Mr.. C. D. Carr, the
well known wholesale grocer in Au-
gusta, and rode the mule to near
Langley, in this State, and swapped it
| to a man by the name of Nat Hamlet
for bay horse and $40 to boot.
Chavis then proceeded on his journey
to near Lexington, it is said, where
he sold the horse for 81 and shot
gun. He then walked back to with
|,in thre miles of Ellington, in Aiken
county, and stole cow, it is alleged,
from George Brown, a negro. Chavis,
it is charged, took the COW to White
Pond and sold it to Mr.. Oscar Weeks
for S12, Mr.. Weeks giving him a
| check on the Williston bank for the
amount. While Chavis was trying to
get the check cashed at the bank ne
became frightened and ran off with
out the money, leaving the check be-
hind. Chavis then went to Spring
field, secured his little boy, about 6
years old, and came over in Lexing-
ton county to the Britt Hutto OLD
mill place, where he was captured
early yesterday morning.
Chavis was carried back to Au-
gusta by Detective Hall. The mule
has been returned to its owner by
Mr.. Hall and the Lexington officers
will make an effort to get the horse
for Hamlet.
Chavis is a man about 80 years of
age and is said to have left a wife
and two children about Is miles be-
low Augusta on the Savannah river
It is said that he confessed his guilt
to the officers.
| Detective Hall was for eight years
on the police force of Columbia and
is we'll known in this State.

POWER OF WATER.
Under Certain Conditions it is Prac-
tically Irresistible.

When a man goes in swimming at
the seashore and siaps the water for
chilly with his hand and takes dive
back from the pier and lands square
ly on his back he realizes that the
unstable liquid offers not little re-
sistance. Yet, says writer in the
New York Tribune, it would surprise
almost anybody to see what water
will do under certain conditions.
A stream from fireman's hose
will knock man down. The jet
from nozzle used in placer mining
in the west eats away large piece OF
land in a day, toys with great bould-
ers as if they were pebbles and would
shoot a man over the country as
though he were projectile from a
cannon.
There is a story of an Eastern
blacksmith who went West and made
bet that he could knock a hole
through the jet of one of these noz'
zles with sledge hammer. He lifted
his arms, swung the sledge and came
down on the ten-inch stream with q
force that would have dented ar

Coast Line Railway company has pur-
chased the Lexington & Eastern rail-
way, leading from here to Jackson,
Breathitt county, distance of 80
miles, which penetrates rich coal and
timber territory. 1t is said the pur-
chase price was 100000. 1t is re-
ported that the road will be extended
to Big Stone Gap, Va, and through to
tidewater by the purchasers. This
would give the Atlantic Coast Line
control of the richest coal and timber
lands in the South.
