BARELY SAVED FROM SHARKS
Remarkably Narrow Escape of Expert
Swlmmer-chased by Two
Monsters.

John T. Clark, we'll known swim
mer, IN 1882 had a very narrow es
cape from serving as meal for two
hungry sharks while giving an exhibit
tlon at Pensacola, Fla. He had agreed

weighted with sand, and be thrown
Into the bay near the navy yard, from
which bag he was to escape by cutting
MS way out with knife and swim
ashore.
At the appointed time a fatboat
took him out some distance from
shore and after being tied up in the
sack he was thrown overheard. He
had hardly got more than 80 feet be-
low the surface when something
bumped against the sack and almost
Instantly the idea flashed through his
mind that 1t was shark Before he
could do anything there was bump
from the other side of the bag. In a
moment or two he had cut his way out
and was rising to the surface, still
clutching the knife in his hand. Once
something cold grazed his leg as he
was rising.
On reaching the surface he was
greeted with cheers, but noted with
d1smay that there were no boats near.
He started to swim toward the near
est boat when the water parted a few
feet to one side and he could make
out the long, black fin of shark. The
monster headed at once for him and
as he was about to dive to escape its
clutch another shark dashed in.
AS the first shark turned over on
his side in order to bite, Clark dived
below the surface, then up under the
shark and drove the knife time after
time into it's vitals. and it sank to the
bottom. AS he came to the surface
gasping for breath yawlboat manned
by excited sailors from the navy yard
ran alongside and he was pulled
aboard just in time to escape the sec
.ond shark.

Wise Mans Bad Break.

According to the Vineland Vine,
Bill Sincaller says:
"The wisest man ever knew knew
nothing. He had wise look, and the
only sense he had was the sense of
keeping his mouth shut. His wise
look increased with age, and he came
to be an oracle without having oracled
anything. For quarter of a century
he held his peace, but dish at din.
ner was his undoing. At dinner the
wise man sat in all the mystery of
his solemn silence. There happened
to be shrimps, and as that was men.
toned his face lighted up. There
was hush as If the great moment
had arrived when the wise man was
going to speak. He did speak. He
simply said, 'Them's me- 1t was q
sad break Of an owl-like silence, and
it fixed the man."

Miss Lucy Driver. one of Co
lumbus' most talented and
popular young ladies, occupies
the position of honor in the first
publication of the standing of
candidates in The Commercial S
great diamond contest. Miss
Driver is ambitious and en-
ergetic and has a host of friends
who predict that she will occupy
the same place among the candi-
dates when the contest is over
that she enjoys this morning.
Mrs. Cy Thompson, who has
second place today, is also a
young lady to be reckoned with.
She has the reputation of stick
to-it-iveness" which counts for
so much in the winning of sue
cess in every phase of life, and
the way she is being helped by
her friends proves that her am
bition to win the elegant diamond
ring is shared by many others.
A generous club of subscrip-
tions, together with a large num-
Der of coupons, have been re-
ceived from the friends of Miss
Florence Kemp of this city.
These votes total enough to give
that attractive and admirable
young lady third place today.
And there are those who claim
that she will be a factor in the
prize distribution, too. One of
her most earnest supporters said
yesterday that Miss
friends would work with her to
the finish, and that the one who
defeated her would have to work
pretty hard.
But the contest has only start

UNCLE JOE CANNON
DEFEATED YESTERDAY
TELEGRAM FROM WASHINGTON
THE RESULT OF NORRIS RESOLUTION
RESULTED IN THE HARDEST FIGHT
EVER WAGED IN CONGRESS

Cannon defeated, House in. a
great deal of excitement, " was
the telegram received by Mr.. T.
j. Locke, Jr., from Washington
on yesterday afternoon.
Cannon is ousted as the result
of the Norris resolution intro
duced on Thursday and reads as
follows:
Norris of Nebraska offered
privileged resolution increasing
membership of committee on
rules to fifteen, nine from the
majority and six from the minor
ity, the members to be selected
by the house, the committee to
select its own chairman and the
speaker not to be eligible for
membership. Adoption of this
resolution would revolut.onize
house procedure and curb power
of speaker. Debate hottest in
years and continued late This
evening"
This has been the hardest fight
ever made in Congress. The
of Cannon worked
night and day to save his place
on the rules committee, but he is
at last ousted and the insurgents
and Democrats are happy. 1t is
rumored that Camp Clark may
be speaker.

TRIAL or CARTER
NEXT FRIDAY
TAKES PLACE IN ABERDEEN
JUDGE MITCHELL OYeRRULED THE
VENUE MOTION. UhHRITTEN LAW
WILL Be PLEA OF CARTER

The motion for & change Of
venue was overruled in court al
Aberdeen Friday afternoon by
Judge Mitchell, when the case OF
John Tendel Carter, who killed
DR.. r. P. Wendell last November
was brought up. 1t had been
charged by Carter's friends that
he could not obtain a fair and
impartial trial in that county.
Proof cf this was not however
shown the court and Judge
Mitchell set the trial to be held
next Friday.
Monroe county is one of the
largest in the state and the
court was confident that with the
large number of qualified voters
a jury could easily be obtained
by drawing from the jury box
men who had not previously ex-
pressed an opinion.
The Carter family is from
East Tennessee and is closely re-
lated to Senator Robert L. Tay-
lor. The father of the prisoner.
a Confederate soldier, nearing
20, is noted in Aberdeen for his
gentleness and simple dignity,
and though he spends most of
his time in st. Louis, is a partner
of the firm of Lam & Carter,
perhaps the largest hardware
house in North Mississippi.
John Carter is blood kin to the
man he killed, and was his init
mate friend.
1t is certain Mrs. Carter will go
upon the stand to tes<.fy for her
husband, She again called on
him at the jail today. For the
most part she remains at the ho-
tel where they have rooms, and
rarely appears upon the streets.
The prosecution will pitch its
line of battle in front of the
character of DR.. Wendell, who
stood high morally and in his
profession in this state and 9TH
ers, and witnesses will be pro-
duced to show it is understood,
that nothing improper could have
taken place at the Pickel house
the night he was killed.

MAY PIPE GAS
TO COLUMBUS
FROM FIELDS At FAYETTE
Mr.. ]. K. SINNERS OF THE EUREKA GAS
AND OIL COMPANY SPENT THURSDAY
IN THE CITY ON BUSINESS

Mr.. J. X. SINNERS, represent
in the Eureka Gas and Oil Co
of Fayette, Ala, the lately ex-
plored oil fields, was in Colum-
bus, Thursday, having been sent
here by the president, Dr.
Grove of Birmingham, to make
inquiries as to the amount Of
fuel, in the way of gas and coal
that the homes, factories and in
dustries of the city consume.
This information is wanted In
order to consider the advisability
of a pipe line from the fields
here, to supply the city with
natural gas. This would in no
way interfere with the electric
light plant of the city. If they
find that they can pipe gas to
Columbus it will greatly reduce
the cost of fuel, and perhaps in-
terfere with the coal dealers
business.
In the event pipe lines are laid
to this city, surrounding towns
may also be connected giving the
advantage of the
competition in fuel, and the
same time making the business
of this concern quite extensive.

well worth the few weeks work
which will be required to win it,
and the votes to his credit shows
that he is not letting any grass
grow under his feet.
Mr.. Prowell and Mr.. Evans
who have the second and third
largest number of votes TO their
credit. are typical of the coun-

evidently have some warm
friends who are interested in
their success, for votes have
been coming in to be placed to
their credit since the contest
first opened.
The young man who secures
the largest number of votes in

choice between the elegant $75
Solid Gold Watch, purchased of
Buder Bros, and fully guaran-

The second prize for the men
is a $50 Stevers Shot Gun, of the
most improved pattern. This
shot gun is a beauty. and is one
of the finest specimens from the
famous Stevens factory.
The third prize is a genuine
gold-flled Waltham watch, war
ranted by the makers and by the
jeWelry firm of Rombach Bros,
of whom it was purchased.
But valuable as are these spe-
cial prizes, the honor of winning
them will be of far more value
to the successful ones than will
be the possession of the prizes.
men are constantly on
the lookout for bright and ambi-
tious young men. and to win one
of The Commercials splendid
prizes will be a certificate of
character and ambition tO aOv
young man. One business man
said yesterday that the eyes of |
every employer in the county
would be on the young men en-
gagged in the race for The Com
prizes. and that the
measure of their worth would be |
taken according to the way they |
conducted themselves during the |
contest.
