STOLE A GREAT BIG BELL.
Firemen of Salt Lake are Accused of
Theft of Great Tocsin.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 12.-An
historic bell, weighing several thous-
and pounds, has disappeared from
the cupola of the Salt Lake city hall
in which the police department is
quartered.
Two members of the fire depart
ment with headquarters in the same
building are under arrest, and have,
the police say, admitted the theft
of the bell. They are said to have
lowered it to the ground with block
and tackle, broken it with sledge
hammers and carted it to junk
dealer in fire department wagon.
The junk man grew suspicious
when he found the date 1858 stamp
ed on a piece of the brass. The bell
was cast in that year by an early
Mormon foundry and was the official
tocsin through the territorial days.

Wife of Deputy Gets Damages.

Columbia, Oct. 15.-Five thousand
dollars is the amount awarded Mrs.
Mary w. Farmer to-day by a Rich
land county jury, after deliberations
extending from 2 o'clock Friday af-
ternoon until early Saturday. This
is unique in South Carolina. Mrs.
Farmer is the widow of Constable
James P. Farmer, who was shot and
killed here two years ago by Wade
Hampton Sellers, known as The
Blind Tiger King" because of his ex'
tensive operations in the illicit IL
quor traffic.
Farmer, search warrant in hand
was slain while seeking access to
house where Sellers boarded. Mrs
Farmer asked the court to award he1
$4,000 damages against Sellers fol
her husbands taking off. Sellers viii
probably contest the case further.

him, if he fails here he will deprive
her of the greatest blessing he can
bestow upon her. To make life a
success there are three qualities you
must have: You must be truthful,
honest and industrious. Remember
dishonesty doubles the journey to
success" (This thought is borrowed,
but it is just what I want.) Get a
pencil and piece of paper, draw a
straight line to any given point, now
draw a crooked one to it, which gets
there first? The straight one, OF
course. Keep in the straight and
narrow path, boys. That is the only
safe way.
The schools are now opening;
great opportunities are ahead OF you;
use them wisely. We need clean,
healthy, intelligent boys to carry on
the worlds business. When some one
offers you a cigarette, politely refuse
it. Tell them you value your heal
thy body too much to destroy it. 1t
would make me real proud to know
you had that much grit about you.
There are big problems ahead to be
solved. l don't profess to know so
much about business, but can tell
when things are going wrong. Ev-
erybody is living beyond their means;
this credit system is ruinous. Boys
when you make a dollar, spend not
quite that much, lay aside a few
cents for the rainy days that are
sure to come. I have been amazed
at the shortsightedness of the farm
ers, buying so many high-priced mules
and sometimes even hay and corn to
feed them on, to make cotton. Tne
South with it's mild climate is al
ideal place for stock-raising. Here
is a good chance for some enterprls'
ing young man. Start on a small
scale and gradually increase your
business. Brighten your wits, boys
and see if you can't help to bring
about a better state of affairs. Ber
Franklin says: "a small leak will
sink a great ship" With so many
big leaks staring us in the face, the
situation looks rather gloomy. Bu1
there is a way out of it, we must fin:

Get yourselves straight, then ev
| erything else will soon be working
smoothly. z. b. Z.

FIGHT LABOR CONTRACT Law.
Peonage Case From Georgia Before
U. s. Court.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Believing
that hundreds of Southern negroes
are being deprived of their liberty by
big planters under forms of law the
Federal Government will endeavor
this week to induce the Supreme
Court of the United States to strike
telling blow at the alleged evil.
This it will do by asking the court to
declare unconstitutional the social
ed Alabama labor contract" law.
Similar laws have been passed by
several Of the Southern States and
the decision Is expected to apply to
them all.
The treatment of negro farm hands
under this law is interpreted by the
department of justice as reduction
| of these laborers to state of peon-
age. Compulsory service to satisfy
debt is taken by Attorney General
Wickersham as the object of the leg
| is]ation.
The State of Alabama will appear
| in court to defend it's enactment. 1t
is claimed by Attorney General Gar
Der, of that State, that the law in
question is not aimed at the negro as
a class, and-anyway this is proper
exercise of the police power of the
State to stop fraudulent practices
from which the South has suffered
severely.
The case comes to the court on the
appeal of a negro, Alonzo Bailey,
from the decision of the Supreme
Court of Alabama, which held the
law constitutional and punished
Bailey for violating it by assessing a
fine equivalent to 1876 days hard la
Dor for the county.
Bailey entered into written con-
tract to work as farm hand for the
Riverside Company duinrg the year
1908 for the sum of s12 per month,
the contract reciting that Bailey had
received SIS in advance and was to
receive the balance due him at the
rate Of s10.75 per month, He work
ed a month and few days and then
quit, it is claimed, without just
cause. He had failed, the record al
leges, to refund the money advanced
him.
The negro was arrested under 1.-THE
labor contract" law. This law pro-
vides that in contracts of service, en-
tered into by laborer with intent to
defraud where money was advanced,
the contract broken without just
cause and the money not refunded,
the laborer should be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor. An amendment TO
the law in 1903 provided that fail
ure to perform the service and to re-
fund the money should be prima facie
evidence to defraud.
Attorney General Wickersham lays
stress particularly upon the argyll
ment that the natural and reason
able to effect the statue was not to
stop fraudulent practices, but to i'm
pose compulsory services on negroes
who made up the bulk of farm labor
in the State, in satisfaction of debt

A Mothers Gratitude
Many a Mother in Bamberg Will Ap.
preciate the Following. !.

-
Many a strong man and many q
healthy woman has much for which
to thank mother. The care taken
during their childhood brought them
past the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some period
with incontinence of urine, and In
ability to retain 1t is oftimes called a
habit. It Is not the children's fault
the difficulty lies with the kidneys,
and can be readily righted II taken
in the proper way. A BamDerg
mother shows you how.
Mrs. L. B. Fowler, Bamberg, s. G.,
says: my daughter suffered from
weak kidneys for several years due
to an attack of fever. She had but
little control over the kidney secre-
tions and often said that her back
paiped her. Another member OF the
family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
several years previous with great
benefit, 80 I finally went to the Peo-
pies Drug Co. and procured box.
In a few weeks after my daughter
began using Doan's Kidney Pills she
ceased to complain and now she has
no trouble from her kidneys what
ever. We never fail to recommend.

MAY FRAME NEW
FRANCHISE LAWS
CHARTER COMMISSION NOW
ORGANIZED
No Definite Action Yet Taken Toward
Amending Measure, but Ma
Iority Favor That
Course

A comprehensive franchise law viii
be one of the features of the new char
ter amendments to be framed by the
charter revision commission. The fran
chise provision will probably provide
that all existing franchises be equal
lied By reducing the length of some Of
the older franchises granted for fifty
years and lengthening some Of the
franchises granted for shorter terms,
so that all franchises may expire az
the same time.
The charter revision commission does
not expect the railways to take kindly
TO anything of the sort, but it devel-
oped at the meeting of this commission
in the mayors office last night that
the city attorney is preparing a pleas
ant little surprise that may be use /
as a thumbscrew in the nature of =
report that the council has a legal right
to determine the rate Of fare that NAV
be charged by the railways and it
was the conclusion of the commission
that the railways do not want S-cent
fare agitation and will be wiling -
make some concessions to avoid 1t.

revision commission was the second
regular meeting that has been held BY
that body. f. G. Finlayson, DIR. John

ASCOT PARK READY
FOR AUTO EVENTS
With Eastern Cracks on Hand &c
Compete Against Local Stars,
Record Smashing Is to Be
Confidently Expected

The Ascot park track is in better
condition than at any previous time
for motor racing. and when the con-
testants line UP for the various events
Saturday and Sunday every driver Will
go after G local record. Some good
ime-smashing can be looked for and
the famous eastern drivers who par
ticipate will have all they want to do
to hold their laurels without attemp-
ting to give a drubbing to the local
contingent.
The tryout at Ascot yesterday af-
ternoon demonstrated two things
every other driver wanted to study
the great Harroun's driving, and the
wonderful Marmon car, both just fresh
from eastern conquests In the mile
after mile that the Marmon reeled off
there was another machine trailing
close behind for a short distance, or
another car doing picket duty at each
turn to see the speedy racer take the
curves.
Six of the nine cars entered for the
coming races were on the track and
the performance of each machine was
faultless. No driver pushed his car
to the limit-simply gave 1t enough
work TO be satisfied that it would re-
spond nobly when the time for real
action came. The entries in the various
events are a we'll matched lot, but in
all probability the rail contest is go
ing to be between the Marmon and the
Corbin. A little comparison of past
performances Is given at face value.
On the Atlanta Speedway, Harroun
drove the Marmon six miles in 5.40:S3
At Ascot park Livingston drove the
Corbin the last six Of q ten mile race
in 5.54:60. A difference of fourteen sec
onds can be easily accounted for by
comparing the two tracks. There is
certainly going 70 be something doing
when the two cars meet.
Those engaged in yesterday after
Moons practice were Ray Harroun and
Mechanician Goetz in the 1910 Mar
mon; Joe Matson in the Marmon that
Harroun drove last season; Driver Bill
Fndicott and Mechanician Llewellyn
In the Cole "30'; Nickrent in the
Buick; AL Livingston and Mechanl-
clan Hackey in the Corbin; Driver
Bruno Siebel and Mechanician Philips
in the Sterling and Driver Harold
Stone and Mechanician Matthews in
the Moline. Frank Free, driver of the
Ford. was also on hand. The Cadil-
lac was not represented
Such line up of good drivers and
fast cars is an assurance that the
coming races will furnish plenty of
sport and excitement to get a good
turnout of motor car enthusiasts.
Individual tryouts will continue
Wednesday and Thursday, but for the
thirty-six hours preceding the begin
ming of racing the use of the track Will
he barred, as the finishing touches to
the track must be applied. Nothing
in reason will be left undone to make
the track fast. that opportunity may
be given for fine records.
