DENY TIE EGANCIIIcL

The action Of the county commits
sioners in refusing to grant the f.an-
chise asked by the Grays Harbor In
term ban company is altogether Wis.
The developments at the hearing al
/ MontesanO yesterday cOnclHsiNcl
show that that franchise is one thai
needs closer inspection. Talk that
! the 'interurban Will boom the coun-
/ ty is true, and it can be untrue. II
! ali depends On the Kind Of interurban
that is tc be bullt.
Under the scheme that = proposed
| by the promoters CT the GraEs ilarb0r
/ lnteruIban company, this projected
line seems to be nothing more than a
| Logging railroad Under the fran
! chise asked for by the company, all
sorts, Of opportunities for scandal viii
be opened What, for instance, is 10
prevent the company once the pres
! ent franchise is granted, nOn int.lic-
ing county commissioners TO build
county roads into amy timbelcd sec
( ton which the interul6an may thinii
it wants to enter?
The trouble with a franchise Of
this sort is not so much that it lacks
restrictions, but that it inevitably
throws the builders Of the interurban
irtc political manipulation. 1t simply
forces these men into politics to con-
troll the election for county commits
silucrs, Having then, secured a
friendly board, the interurban can
proceed to protect its own interests
through that board: indeed. the COM
pany must protect these interests.
There viii be no limit to the schemes
that can be promoted.
The World objected to this fran
chise when it was first introduced in
behalf of Eldridge Wheeler on the
ground that the franchise was absO-
lutely without restrictions safeguard
ing the interests Of the people. In
some respects the franchise has now
been modified, but it still fails to con-
Germ itself to any large extent with
! the best interests of the public. 1t
| is wholly favorable to the interurban
promoters and is most decidedly and
most distinctly unfavorable to the
people.
| II, now, a franchise cannot be
drawn that will safeguard the public
interests, then the county commits
| sioners ought to refuse to grant any
| franchise for use of the county roads
| for a railway project of this kind.
| Perhaps announcement of policy
OF that kind would be far and away
| the best manner in which to deal
with this question. 1t should settle
these projects for all time to come.
The people of this county certain
| ly want an electric interurban rail-
way connecting the cities of the Har-
Dor with the towns of the eastern
end of the county and ultimately
with the cities OF the Sound. Such
an interurban is inevitable. 1t is
bound to come in due course of time,
but when it does come we have an
idea that it will be built by private
capital over private right-oi-
and without the aid of the county
or the use of public property. That,
after al, is the only logical way to
tu.d lie in erulb0n. 1t is Logical
lrCn. lie standpoint Of the people
e-f .c al from the standpoint Of
,,e iAeIuiban builder. The thing
lo county commissioners 10 10
... Is 10 deny this franchise and
l others Ike it.--Ayol4s.a

Mr.. GRIFFIN Is URGED
AGAIN FOR ASSEMBLY
Friends in County Request
Candidacy.

Mr.. Fletcher W. Griffin, who has
just completed his first term in the
House as one of Sumter's represent
atives, is receiving many urgent re-
quests from fr, ends over the county
to again offer in the primary as his
own successor, and while having
reached no conclusion he may yet Of
fer for reelection.
Mr.. Griffin would do this at a sac
rifice of his business and farming in
terests, but if the people want his
services he VII cheerfulIy yield to
their request.
During the last session of the As
sembly he was the author of several
bills of Importance, especially to the
agricultural interests of the state, and
one measure in particular, his puI e
SEED bill, will have an important bear
ing, if passed.
Mr.. Griffin succeeded in getting an
appropriation of $4,000 for the agri-
cultural department in its fight upon
blackroot, the disease that is wreak-
ing havoc to cotton fields in half the
counties of Georgia.
His measure protecting the deposi-
tors in state banks, and, another pro-
viding for the appo ntment of an in
surance inspector of life policies, are
important, and should be put through
at the next session of the General AS
sembly.
Sumter, by virtue of her agr' 'cul-
tural interests, her good roads and
general development, is in the fore
front of Georgia's 147 counties, and
these interests should be safeguard
ed, in the opinion of property own
ers. Mr.. Griffin is a farmer and in
sympathy with their interests,
He would not enter heated politi-
cal contest for the honor, but if
services are demanded. he would uu-
doubtedly be induced to offer for re-
election.

fUGIlIVfS AT BAY IN
DEPTHS OF THE SWAMP
Chase to Flint River is
Continued.
Three White Convicts
Are Pressed Hard BY
the Officers.

With chains clanSing about their
limbs, and the officers with dogs in
hot pursuit. the three white convicts,
Brett, Hightower and Cliff Rumneg.
alias Henry Stanford, made a dash for
the deep morasses of Flint river
swamp at daylight yesterday, and
reached the reeds safely
All through the day the pursuing
possee, aided by several farmers of
the neighborhood, searched diligently
for the three runaway zebras.
AT a late hour in the afternoon no
further information had come from
the scene.
Brett, Higbtower and Rumney broke
out of the convict stockade in Ameri,
Gus early Wednesday morning and by
lying closely in the woods near the
city they eluded the vigilance of
Sheriff Feagin and Supt. Christian in
pursuit.
The first heard of them after leav-
ing Americas was at the c. C. Haw-
kins farm, five miles out, where they
begged food at night at a negro cabin.
The three fugitiyes spent the night
n an old barn on the Horne plant
ton, where they We're seen at dawn
yesterday. The officers We're notified
aRd went in hot pursuit. but in the
meantime the fleeing 2ebras had safe
ly reached Flint river swamp
And there the man hunt went on
all of yesterday.
The swamp at this point is a half
mile wide, and since the recent rains,
is full of water, thus rendering the
man hunt difficult and dangerous IS
well.
Wide sloughs that would swim a
horse, dense canebrakes full of dead
ly snakes, and vast jungles of bamho
and briars render the progress there
very difficult. It is an ideal place
in which a fugitive might hide for
days IN perfect safety
And it was there that the fug tiv9s
were "treed" yesterday.
The river bank was closely watch
ed to see that the runaways did not
get a batteau and cross to the Dooly
county side. Brett and Higtlower
came originally from the counties be-
yond the river, and once there again
would find relatives who would hide
them
The three convicts still wore their
stripes and chains yesterday morning
when they left the Horne place, the
chains rendering their progress very
slow. The pursuing posse have dogs
with which to track the zebras, but
this cannot be done in the river fast
nesaes.
With the bunch surrounded, it
would seem that the capture of all
would eventually be effected
C0nyicts Get Across River.
Sheriff Feagin and Deputy Fuller
returned to the city late in the day
and reported that Hightower, at least
had succeeded in swimm ng Flint
river to the Dooly county side His
Shoes, hat and shirt were found at
the point wher che made the plunge.
Supt Christian and others of the
pursuing party, with the county 5
three track dogs, crossed the river
behind Hightower and continued the
chase.
