BARN BURNED IN PoWNAL
Fire Department Called Out at One
O'Clock This Morning

barn on the Keyes farm In the
village OF South Pownal now owned
by Mrs. Parkhurst was partially des-
troyed by fire this morning. The
structure was comparatively new hav-
ing been built but few years and
the loss to the owner is considerable.
The fire was discovered by one OF
the women living in the vicinity at
about o'clock. II was some time
before enough men were aroused to
operate the hose wagon but once the
department was on the ground II soon
had the fire under control. There
was just hose enough to reach from
the hydrant to the building and the
heavy pressure quickly smothered the
flames.
II is believed that the fire was start
ed by a tramp who went into the barn
to sleep for in the ashes bundle Of
socks wrapped in a large handker-
chief was found.
The frame OF the building was not
burned. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.

Dr. George F. Laidiaw in the April Metropelian Mrganzine.
 A striking proof of the absolute responsibility of the mesmeriz- ed subject occrred at a demon stration I gave before the New
 York Medico-Legal Society.
 Though this wss long ago, I never think of it without a sense of fear for what might have hap pened and thankfulness for the
 fortunate issue. Having placed one subject in a sound sleep on chair, 1 told another subject that ohis sleeping man. was his enemy and had injured him, at the same time giving him a paste board dagger. 1 thinx that those who saw the subsequent events did not soon forget the stealthy, cat-like manner with which the second subject stoir behind his sleeping victim and stabbed him in the back. Them, to my sup rise, he grasped the victim. by the throat and threw him to the floor apparently trying to choke him to death. This movement was so sudden, unexpected and violent that it was a few mo- ments before l. succeeded in i making the second man release his hold. 1 was careful to put . tho victim back comfortable in ] his chair. before waking him up He knew, nothing of what had happened and seemed nore the worse for his adventure.

 Washington, April 2-Seeret
 ary Ballinger. has protested t
 the committee Investigating tn,

 estfy service, against the dem
 sandnf Attorney Brandeis, foI
 the records of the department
 He, asserts that it is an "oblique
 attempt to control the manner
 in which the evidence 1 will pre-
 sent shall be introduced" He
 says that since his side of the
 controversy began introducing
 evidences the demands of Brand
 eis have become a,mere fishing
 process. !"
 He asks the committee for per mission to refuse the further re-
 quests of Glavis counsel;. for de- partment documents and records, unless he specifies beforehand what the papers are expected to show, and gardiDg them.
 The most, striking feature, of the proceedings today wass the declaration of Marshal Love of Alaska. that John Dudley, for mer register of the land office at Juneau, toldshim that. an agent of Golfers Weekly, y,intimated to him that it was worth. from $5, 900 to 5000 to, come. to Washing ton and testify.
 ''Do, you mean that Golfers meant. to bribe him?" asked Representative Madison.
 No not bribe him; but pay him, Y" replied the witness.
 '.You draw a whole lot finer distitctiop than I have been able to do. !" retorted Madison,

 Ella Shoraall, a 'stonegraher in the office of Glavis, testified that she made for GIavis three l. copice of twenty-four letters all !, eged to have been found in a box belonging to Glavis, after their disappearance from the land office.

Here is the Answer Which Wat
sons Friends Should Make
to His Critics

a. 1t was not until after the primary of
August % that Mr.. James j. Green, of Ath-
ems, Ga consented to put into Watsons hands
the letter which Hoke Smith signed and then
repudiated. Consequently, it was not until
after the primary that Watson was able to
prove that Smith lied about the letter.
(2.) 1t was not until after the primary and
after the nominating convention that Smiths
perfdy as to the County Unit plan was ex-
posed.
(3.) It was not until after the primary and
the convention that his deal with the liquor
men came to light.
(4) 1t was not until after the primary and
the convention that we learned about those
new rules which blindfolded and gagged the
ma ority of the convention after the minority
had been steam rollered.
Co., 1t was not until after the primary and
the convention that Smith became an accom-
plice in that Auditorium outrage, which in
suited and imperiled magnificent audience
of 5000 people.
Co., 1t was not until after the primary and
the convention that the witnesses who knew
of Smiths horrible private life volunteered
to give evidence against him.
Mr.. Watson has not used, since the pri-
mary, anything against Smith which he could
have proved prior to Smiths nomination.

son was there on time, but the other man was
in private grounds on the other side of town.
It was Watson who meant to laugh at Hard
wick.
(9) Hardwck may have laughed on the
occasion referred to- but he is not laughing
now. He is fully aware Of the fact that the
whole State of Georgia is convinced that
every charge brought against him is true
trifling error in detail being that he set the
Hotel Lanier afire with cigarette instead Of
cigar. Since the charges about his drunk
enness and gambling were published and de-
MED, he played bridge whist with Hoke Smith
and two other sports in the Capital City Club
In Atlanta and lost upwards of $500 in the
game.
It's glorious thing to have drinking men
and gamblers for Congressman and Govern
ors isn't it?
(1O) A moral coward would hardly ex-
pose the methods of the Foreign Missionaries
as Watson did, nor uncover the Roman Cath
Ollie hierarchy, as he is now doing
(11) And Watson is not enlightened
not yet, at least. If he is to have any more
write-ups in that Louisiana paper, he may
possibly lose his nerve or get scared. Better
dozen Hardwicks than another such Louisi-
ana wrte-up.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak;
and write-ups like that are calculated to make
the stoutest heart quail.

when he is not writing slobber gosh.

Therefore, he has not been at all inconsistent
in the matter. The facts which came to light
after the nomination was made, amply war
ranted the people in considering the nomina-
ton null and void, just as they would, when
serving as Jurors deprive man of property
which he had obtained by fraud, or by an
illegal or immoral consideration. In law, no.
body can hold what he obtains by violation
Of law, and the same principle should be ap-
piled rigidly to party nominations.
The way in which money and whiskey were
used for Smith constituted sufficient reason
for disregarding the nomination; and, OF
course, the facts as to that were not revealed
until after the primary.

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

Eli U IL IA Il ~ y l. Ed
BY j. d. WATSON
William R. Hearst's Independent League
has put out full state ticket in New York
against the Republicans and the Democrats.
This time the order of things are little
bit changed.
Willie has put forth one of his ieutenants
to lead the band for the Governorshlp while
he will play second fiddle as Lieutenant
Governor.
But it doesn't make any difference who
leads or who comes second, the Independence
League is Hearsts, and always for sale.
One year he sells to the Republican boss,
and another year he sells to Tammany's lead
er, Chas. F. Murphy-the man whom he had
accused of every crime from stealing to muir
der-the man whom he had represented as a
convict walking the lockstep with other muir
derers and thugs.
To which party will Hearst sell his indie
pendence League in this campaign is now the
question.
The announcement that President Taft is
going to Panama to make personal investi-
cation of the rumors of graft on the isthmus
causes no surprise to those who are familiar
with the presidents fondness for travel, but
those among the Republican leaders who are
wise had better prevail upon Mr.. Taft to stay
at home and attend to his business
Just as sure as he gets near Panama mud,
he is sure to stick his foot in it,
He has already put his party In the hole by
doing too much running about and speaking
Had he been at Washington doing what the
tax payers pay him to do, he would not have
made that speech in which he declared the
Payne-Aldrich the best tariff we have ever
had
-
Mr. Taft has sanctioned another waste of
the peoples money-the raising of the old
battleship Maine.
Engineers estimate that this will cost from
$250,OO0 to 100000, and you may bet that it
will reach the 100000 mark, or more before
the Job is finished
And not one cents worth of benefit will the
people get out of it.
It is simply being done to satisfy the curl
osity of few-a few who are anxious to
know whether the ship was blown up from
the outside or an explosion within.
We have already had an expensive war on
account of the sinking of the Maine, so why
not let the matter remain settled?
Poor old Spain licked us bad enough when
she handed US the Philippines SO why dis
cover that the Maine was not blown up by
the Spaniards, and let fool Congress reim-
burse Spain for the cost of the Spanish
American war to Spain.
That's just what will happen if the raising
of the Maine proves that the explosion did
not result from being hit by mine, but re-
suited from the explosion of one of her own
powder magazines.
