GOVERNOR SIMPLY REFUSES TO
KEEP OUT OF THE LINE
LIGHT.

Evidently Patterson, the late Dem
ocratic game cock, has very poor
opinion OF the intelligence Of the peo-
pie Of Maury county. The Governor
somehow simply will not remain dead.
Although he promised Bob Taylor and
Harvey Hannah and Company that he
would remain dead, h evil not OBJ
serve that promise. Bob every now
and then will rise up and strike like
q snake.
His latest evidence of life is to the
Board of Election Commissioners of
Maury county telling the members
thereof that he is not candidate for
Governor, fact that the commission
ers for this county suspected soon af-
ter the returns from the August cleo
ton commenced to circulate over the
State. This is Hams communication

ernor. / request that my name be omit

teen and seventeen Of the warrants
were issued. Five of the holders OF
these license are doing business in
Columbia and eleven of them are do
ing business in, Mt. Pleasant.
The warrant calls for the collection
of license as liquor dealer for three
months together with costs, the total
being 1865, which includes the costs
of SIS. The license proper is $3.50 for
the quarter. Tthese warrants have
been placed in the hands of Sheriff
Goodwin and Deputies with instruc-
tons to serve them at once. No char
acter of property is exempt from
seizure under the warrants, not even
the clothing of the holder if it is not
on his back.
The issuance of the warrants fol-
lowed conference between Attorney
General Frierson and County Court
Clerk Thomas after which the state
ment was authorized that the warrants
had been issued. Not only will the
holders of the license be proceeded
against for State and county taxes,

There has been CONSERVATION ia the

rants against Fred Hood, Ben Davis
and Claude Young, who are charged

SEVEN INDICTED IN INQUIRY
INTO ALASKA LAND CASES
They Are Charged With Making En-
trIss In Names Of "pumvnles"
Warrants Are issued.

WASHINGTON. Oct. i5.-After
months OF secret effort and patient
waiting. the ofiicials OF the general
land Office announce the indictment
of q number of claimants to valuable
coal lands In Alaska. The entries In
volved number 154 and cover almost
"a, 900 acres OF land. all OF which lies
In the Boring Strait district in which
the Cunningham claims are located.
They are what are known a. the
English or Stacey and the Christie
pher-Simmonds groups, the former
containing so and the latter "a claims
OF 100 acres each. The deposits COW
cred by these claims are believed TO
be as rich as those of the Cunning
ham mines. which cut q conspicuous
figure in the BallingerP inchot con-
troversy.
The indictments were handed down
in the United States district court sit
ting in Tacoma, Wash, and the infor-
nation that they had been returned
was conveyed In kilograms from Spe-
cial Agent Christensen, In charge OF
Alaskan matters, TO whose efforts the
findings are especially due.
The first message contained the an
nouncement OF the action against the
English group. and stated that indict-
ments had been returned against G. r..
Munday, A. II. Strscey. Archie w.
Shields and Z. K. Siegley. A few
minutes later came the second tele-
gram telling Of the indictment OF Cor
nelius Christopher, George Simsnonds
and Mortimer c. Sweeney, Of the sec
ond group. II added that warrants
would be issued a. soon az the In
dicted men could be apprehended.
The first group OF defendants takes
its name from the fact that num-
Der OF people in western Canada are
supposed to be interested In the
claims taken up by this party. Mr..
Stracey IL q resident OF Vancouver
and 10 charged with being instrunen-
tai In making some Of the locations.

in Seattle.

men 10 that the entries were made In
the names of dummies"
Both groups of claims figured to
a considerable extent In connection
with the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry.
