From Clinch County News.

Hon. w. ]. Speer, candidate for
state treasurer, enjoys looking back
upon a clean, spotless and uncriti-
cised 20-year record in public office,
which to us is the strongest, most
forceful argument that can be
brought to bear touching his com
potency and his worthiness. We are
as willing for him to serve us now
as we were when he, as confederate
soldier, took up his gun, went to the
front and barred his breast to the
enemy in defense of our property
and our homes.

From the Lumpkin Indenendent

Hon. w. ]. Speer has large expe-
rience in the administration of the
office of state treasurer, and has
proven himself a capable. vigilant
and efficient custodian of the state s
resources, and the people of Georgia
could do no better than elect him to
the position again.

From Meriwether vindicator.

Hon. w. j. Speer, candidate for
state treasurer, was assistant treas
urer under the lamented R. u. Harde-
man. He succeeded Mr.. Hardeman
as treasurer, and after having made
an efficient and faithful public Off
cial he retired voluntarily on account
of i'll health. If elected his past rec
ord is sufficient assurance that he
will make the state a splendid treas
urer.

MAY GUT PROPERTY CLAUSE

Adding Hundreds of Thousands
of Dollars to Pension Check.
ATLANTA, Ga.-The constitutions

Sellers, which provides for removing
all restrictions on confederate vet
Grams and the widows of confeder-
ate veterans, so that all may be
placed upon the pension list regard
less of whether they have $1,000 in
property, was debated for an hour
by the senate today
An earnest, logical and impressive
speech against the measure was made
by President John NJ. Slaton, who
based his opposition on the state of
the treasury, claiming that Georgia
could not afford to add another
$250,O00 of 100000 to it's pension
budget. The pension payments for
TINS year, he said, would amount to
ST, 100000.

sHELLMAN WANTS NEW COUNTY
Ambitious to Be Capital of New
County of StOnewaIl.

The last issue of the Cuthbert
Leader contained this interesting
item:
I'm one of the dailies we note that
our sister town, Shellman, is ambi-
tious to become the county site of
new county named StoneWall.
What are the proposed boundaries
of the imaginary Stonewall we have
not learned.
I'VE are opposed to this for two
good reasons. Randolph county has
no territory to spare, and we like
the people of Shellman and the 9TH
ers in the eastern portion of the
county TOO well to allow them to Sc
cede from us, if we can prevent it,"

From Cleveland Courier.

Mr.. w. J. Speer, candidate for
state treasurer, filled the Office for
many years, and if an excellent rec
ord in the discharge of official duties
is what the people want in an Off
cial, then this old confederate veteran
most assuredly merits your ballot.

BLAZE AT ELEVATOR WORKS.
Monday Morning Fire Caused Con-
siderable Excitement.

A fire broke out in the barn be-
longing to the National Elevator Co.
at about ten o'clock on Monday
morning. 1t was first discovered by
the employees of the Elevator Works,
who quickly stretched the hose from
their own hose house, and soon had
a stream playing on the fire. In
the meantime an alarm had been
sent in which brought the hose cart
of Protection Engine Company No.
8, who soon reinforced those fight
ing the fire, with two more streams
of water. Hose Company No. l then
arrived and the combined efforts of
the firemen soon had the fire under
control, but owing to the nature of
the contents of the barn, and the
dense smoke which pervaded the
barn, it took considerable time to
thoroughly subdue the fire, so that
the firemen could pick, up their hose
and leave the scene. The upper part
of the barn was filled with hay, and
underneath the hay were lots of valu-
able patterns. The lower part was
used as a stable, and also as a tenn
porary store-room. The horses were
safely removed, and all the remov-
able effects were taken out, being
damaged only by water; but the
flames had eaten their way down
into the hay, and although every
thing was drenched with water, the
fire smouldered, sending forth vol
umeS of smoke which blinded and
hindered the firemen in their work.
Men were placed in the loIC, and
while one gang removed the hay,
streams of water were poured on
the burning mass from all sides,
and through holes cut into the roof
until the last vestige of fire was
out. How it caught, is unknown.
Those who were early on the scene
claim that all the blaze was in the
peak of the barn, a place which
would be hard for anyone to reach,
so it is presumed that spontaneous
combustion, or a sparrow in build
ing its nest, had carried a match
which ignited, caused the fire.
AS the insurance is carried by New
York brokers, no knowledge of what
insurance was carried on this por-
tion of the works is known, and the
exact amount of loss can only be
| roughly estimated, until a careful eX-
of the factory, but it is safe to as
sumo that the damage by fire and
water will reach at least 1900.

Horse Thief Turns Coal
Mine into Fortress.
ONE OF HIS VICTIMS IS DYING.
Three Hundred Men Pursue Despera-
do - Encamped at Shaft - Urge
Criminal to Come Forth - He
Dares Them to Enter.

Pittsburg. May "a. - Never in the
west at its widest We're race horse
thieves pursued more furiously than in
a man hunt just west of Pittsburg.
Even the vigilantes of 40 would ap-
prove of the swift, effective results of
this vengeful chase.
Three hundred men. armed, infuri-
ated, are encamped today around the
mouth of an old deserted coal mine
into which they drove Charles Elliott,
desperate, who recently finished
eighteen months in Riverside prison
for horse stealing.
Elliott, badly wounded by his pursu
ers, is heavily armed and, hidden in
the mines black throat, occasionally
shouts defiance at his besiegers.
Formerly a railroad fireman, Elliott,
thrown from one of the horses he
stole. tried to escape on a locomotive
which stood fired up on a switch. But
as he was climbing in the cab he was
shot and dropped to the ground
Steve Migawl Elliott's partner, is in
jail, and the two horses they are said
to have stolen have been recovered.
But Health Officer John McDermott
lies in his home dying, wounded by
three bullets vlndictively SPED by Ell
lott.
McDermott at Grafton, Pa, got a
telephone message that two men had
stolen valuable horses from the farm
Of A. B. Scott wealthy stock breeder
back of Carnegie, and that they were
riding toward Grafton at top speed.
McDermOtt rushed into the road just
as the two horsemen approached, rid
ing hard. With revolver out, the officer
shouted at the riders to stop. \ shot
over the head of one of the horses was
the answer.
McDermott fell shot through the
neck, and as he lay Elliott pulled up
his horse and shot him twice. The
horse reared and plunged, threw Ell
liott and ran away.
Edward GOrmley came running with
shotgun, followed by other neigh
bOrs, and Elliott took to his heels. As
he was climbing into the locomotive
cab GOrmley shot him, and he fell only
to rise again and limp Off, shooting at
intervals at his pursuers. He was
chased for mile, perhaps "A hundred
shots being fired at him, then he dis
appeared in the old coal mine.
Pittsburg was asked for armed po-
lice. A score of county detectives We're
rushed to Grafton. They found the
800 trying to get Elliott to leave the
mine with such cOaxings as:
"Come out and Wen hang you"
He shouted back
"Come In and I'll kill you"
There is only one entrance to the
mine, its owner says. The man hunt
ers swear they will camp there for a
month rather than let Elliott escape.
Steve Migawl, who, the authorities
say, was the other mounted man, was
captured, the seGond horse having been
found wandering riderless some miles
from the scene. Migawl would not say
word.

PASSES PARK BILLS.
State Senate Acts Favorabiy on Inter-
state Palisades Project.

Albany, n. v. May 24.-All that is
now required for the acceptance by
the state of the vast park along the
Palisades donated by Mrs. Hartman
and others are the signature of Gov
ernor Hughes to the bills providing for
the reception of the gift and a vote by
the people on the proposition bonding
the state for $2,500,000 to carry out the
conditions of Mrs. Harriman's offer.
The senate passed the Palisade park
bills just as they came from the assem-
bly, without amendment, practically in
suring the consummation of the prof.
ect.
All opposition to the Palisades park
project had dwindled away when the
matter was called up by Senator
Payne. The measure providing for a
submission to the people of the propo-
sitiOn to issue bonds in order to accept
the gift of S1.O0OOOO and the 10000
acres of land in ROckland county was
first taken up. the vote by which it
was lost recOnsidered and the measure
adopted. Senators Hinman and Allen
alone opposing it.
Subsequently by unanimous vote the
senate passed the bills eliminating
Bear mountain as site for a new
state prison, placing sections of the
present Palisades park preserve with
in the limits of the proposed park and
pledging the state to agree to the con-
ditiOns imposed by Mr., Hartman.

indianapolis, May 24.-The polls at
the Republican and Democratic pri-
maries today are being guarded by
business men TO prevent frauds upon
the ballot and to see that neither the
Democratic nor the Republican ma
chine resorts TO intimidation or pur-
chase Of electors.
There is a strong feeling among Re
publicans, in view of the open charges
of the last few days, that a scheme Is
on foot to put men on the legislative
ticket who will not support Senator
Beveridge, and his friends are on the
alert and were at the polls early today
tG guard against surprise.
The Democratic machine, controlled
by lieutenants of Tom Taggart, has
selected man for every office to be
filed this fall, and all OF the legisla-
tive candidates are men whom Tag
CART has passed upon personally and
approved.
1t is said that his friends propose to
concentrate their votes on these candi-
dates, and If necessary other offices
are TO be traded OF for the legislative
slate. The interest does not center rs
much In John w. Kern, candidate for
the United States senate, as it does In
