WHO SLEW CHIEF OF POLICE
Officers and Posse Still Hunting
for the Mexican who Escaped
After Killing Policeman

Anadarka, Okla, Nov. 14,-Still
securing the hills about Anadarko, the
officers and posse searching for the
Mexican who escaped after killing
Chief of Police Temple, Saturday, has
found no trace of the fugitive this
morning. Although every effort will
be made to prevent lynching in view
of the strained situation between Mex
leo and the United States it is feared
the Mexican, If canght, will fall vic
tim of the mob.
Kansas City, Nov. 14.-Oscar Opet,
who is charged with the assassination
of w. c. Temple, chief of police at
Anadarko, Okla, is not Mexican, in
the opinion of Leo Gomez, Mexican
counsel here.
"If 'Opet' is the correct name of the
assassin he is not a Mexican said
Seuor Gomez this morning. 81 am not
familiar with that name and am un-
able to translate it into the language
spoken in Mexico"

COULDN'T STAND FOR
TEDDY'S DEFEAT

Orange, N. j., Nov. 14.-Disgusted
at the defeat of Roosevelt Tuesday,
Winthrop f. Scarritt, wealthy resi-
dent of this city, today offered for sale
his magnificent country home, and an
nounces that he will leave the country.
Today he put an ad iu the papers as fol-
lows:
"Disgusted at the republican party,
l offer his beautiful country house to
some victorious democrat, and intend
to leave the country that turned down
Teddy"
He will probably move with his fam
lily to England, where at the funeral of
King Edward, at which he was pres

Americas people.

been educated from college stand
point, but real, everyday experienced
farmers. These men will speak from
their own personal knowledge of their
subjects gained by actual past expert
ence through failure and success, and
their ideas should be worth something
to the ambitious energetic farmer
of today.
There is no question but that we are
living in an age in which the old rudi-
mentary modes of farming will not
bring the yield they once did.
We see the effect of the old mode of
farming; we see our lands washing;
our soil becoming depleted, and our
crops growing lighter. AS matter of
course, we must resort to better meth
DDS, more scientific and practical ideas,
in order to make our farms better, our
granaries fuller, and our income great
er. The successful farmer is the up-to-
date farmer.
Every man and woman, every citi-
zen, whether he be tenant or landown-
er, should attend these lectures, and
gain the benefit of experienced men
not only go to hear them, but take
home their ideas and put them into
practice on your farms, and you will
be surprised at the results.
Let everybody come out at their re-
spective stations and help make this
great work success, help encourage
the industrial department of the
Clinchfield railway in its efforts to
build up our country, through which
it traverses.
We know of no greater work being
done by any institution than the work
of educating the farmers, and it should
receive the hearty support
and cooperation of every citizen of
Virginia and East Tennes-
see.

been unable as yet to get this informa-
ton. Until our Investigations have
gone further, and further information
obtained from certain counties, can
not state accurately the result of the
gubernatorial election. However, we
do know that the regular democrats
have elected certainly nineteen men,
bers of the senate, viz:
"John |. Cox, I'll. l.. Preston, w. r.
Albright, N. Baxter, DR.. A. Jones,
Frank Russell, G, w, Turner, J. M.

E. d. Bass, J. +. Draughon, A. A. Ad-
ans, Hill McAllister, DR.. E. b. Brown,
Frank Boyd, J. t. Rogers, w. N. Page,
H. w. McCay.
"These men are unquestionably elec-
ted, and the official returns of the
election, held and certified by judges,
clerks and officers appointed by the
opposition and largely unffiendly to
these senators-elect, will so show. The
plan of contesting the election of some
of these, or to induce the withholding
of their certificates of election, is SO
outrageously fraudulent that it can
not succeed, and we doubt whether
any further attempt will be made at
its execution. 1t is possible that this
list of regular democrats elected will
be increased by an additional senator
in district where the result is appar-
entity in doubt, some precincts having
not yet been reported.
"The regular democrats have also
elected fifty members of the house of
representatives, and, while there is talk
of contesting the election of number
of these where the election is close,
such contests would be in the same
class with those contemplated with
reference TO senators-elcct and could
not be successful.

of Gallatin, brought the following tale
to Nashville last night:
The democrats of Sumner county are
thoroughly aroused and indignant over
the efforts of fusion headquarters at
Nashville to set aside the will of the
people expressed November s in elec-
ton of senator and members of the
legislature. All three were elected by
overwhelming majorities, from 800 to
500 votes, and there has not been sug-
gestion or intimation of fraud or any
irregularity. Nevertheless, Friday
there appeared in the county one w.
A. Overall from Nashville, who an
nounce that frauds had been perpetrat-
ed in Sumner, and rumors of contests
spread. Little importance was attach
ed to the matter until it was learned
that M. d. Rickman and III. M. Dono-
no had retained Gallatin attorney to
represent them in contests. But the
explosion came Saturday when a visit
or at the office of George w. Boddie,
chairman of the election board, inform
ed friends of the successful democratic
candidates that something was doing
in Commissioner Boddie's office. The
democratic chairman and vice-chair-
man, w. l.. Oldham and j. T. Barsk-
erville, Immediately took steps to pro-
tect the returns, and, finding the doors
closed, they went for John Try, repub-
iiean election commissioner, and with
him went to the office and demanded
entrance. Upon gaining entrance they
found the commissioners all out and M.
d. Hickman, defeated candidate for
foater; III. NJ. Donoho, defeated candi-
date for the senate; Charles L. Rhodes,
their attorney; JEFF McCarn, of state
wide fame and Hooper partisan, in

The Twilight of Life.

The muscles of the stomach in old age are
not as strong or active as in youth and in
consequence old people are very subject to

All this can be avoided by the use Of DR..

the discovery that on May 10, 1910,
the comet will reach the same plane
as the earth in its orbit. 1t is there
by determined that the tail of the
comet will sweep across this plane
instead of clearing it. The earth and

but not in the same path. There
will be distance at the nearest
