they could. Many failed to take their
household belongings.
Bloodshed Averted.
The trouble resulted from branting
cotton land leases to the negroes

No Chance For
The Murderer

Quietly awaiting the next session
of the Appling superior court, when,
for the second time he will be SEN
fenced to die on the gallows, young
Fate Taylor is passing many a mlser-
able day in the Glynn county jail.
The young man now, probably for
the first time since the crime was
committed, realizes that there is only
one way for him to escape the rope,
and that is by death. His case has
been fought out through all the legal
channels of Georgia and the state
highest tribunal, the supreme court,
has decreed that he must die on the
gallows.
Taylor, who has been in the local
iail for over a year, will he carried
back to Baxley when the Appling su-
perior court convenes, and the death
sentence will for the second time, be
imposed by Judge Conyers. The law
yers who have made such hard fgnt
to save the life of the young murder
er, realize now that there is no loop
hole through which he can POSSIBLY
escape and consequently no further
stems have teen taken to save MIN.

COLORADlAN WILL FIGHT
ROOSEVELT CONSERVATION
A Big Battle Is Coming Before the
Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 23.-"My Poll
cies' as regards conservation, will be
the subject Of vigorous attack in an
appeal to be made to the supreme
court of the United States today,
which will declare unconstitutional
the creation of the big forest reserv-
alton of the west.
The fight has arisen out of the at
tempt of the United States to enjoin
Fred Light, Colorado cattleman,
from allowing his cattle to trespass'
on Holy Cross forest reserve in that
state. Despite Lights contention that
the formation of the reserve without
the consent of the state was in vio-
lation of the federal constitution, and
that action for respass could not be
maintained under the Colorado laws
unless the land in question had been
fenced, the circuit court of the Unit
ed States for the district of Colorado
issued the injunction. The case,
which began under the auspices of
the Roosevelt administration has
been appealed to the supreme court.

QUITS HIS JOB
SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT TAFT
WISHES TO GO. BACK TO
REAL WORK,
Martin Gives up Salary of $4,000
TO Accept Secretaryship at $4,000
Says He is Now Tired Of the Pc
liticai Game.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Charles Dyer
Norton has announced that he would
quit the post of secretary to the presi-
dent. His successor may be Gus J
karger, Washington correspondent
who was the close adviser of Mr.
Taft during Mr.. Taft's campaigning
tour in 1908. 1t is also said that Jas.
a. Tawney, of Minnesota, may be ap
pointed.
Mr.. Taft, when inaugurated, was in.
clined personally to make Mr.. Kargal
his secretary, and also when it pc
came evident that Fred w. Carpen.
ter was to he transferred, but he was
persuaded from that intention by
those wha had selected Mr.. Norton
as assistant secretary of the treas
ury, the leader among them being
Mr.. MacVeagh, secretary of the treas
ury.
1t was declared at the time that
Norton had given up an income that
amounted to $4,000 yearly as an in
surance general agent in order to try
to gain fame in government circles.
A statement was issued from the
White House in part as follows: "The
fact that Chas. D. Norton, secretary
to President Taft, would retire from
that position in the more or less near
future and return to private business
in Chicago, was disclosed in connec-
ton with the proposal to increase the
salary of the secretary to the presi-
dent from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t was
stated in the senate subcommittee
that Mr.. Norton, while strongly urg
ing the increase in connection with
the reorganization of the executive
staff, at the White House, had declar
ed that he would OF himself be tAe
beneficiary of the increase"

GERMANY TO REPLY SOON.
Uutimatum Expected in the PotssF
Controversy.

Berlin, Jan. 23.-There is no reason
to believe that, according to schedule
the reply of Germany to America re-
garding the potash question, will De

week, for the report should be ready

The delay in replying to the no'e

minX in the potash syndicate cave
been trying to reach an understand
ing with the outstading Schmidtmahn
mines. These being outside the syn

INTERESTING CASE WAS TRIED
IN GLYNN SUPERIOR COURT
YESTERDAY.
w. F. Hines Was Charged With Kid
mapping 14.Year-Old Edna Thomrr
son, But Was Acquitted BY the
Jury After Hard Fight.

An unusually interesting case was
tried in the Glynn superior court yes
terday, the entire day being consum-
ed. A large umber of witnesses were
introduced by both sides and conse-
quently it was late in the afternoon
before the case went to the jury.
W. F. Hines, trapper, was on trial
on the charge of kidnapping 14-year-
old Edna Thompson, of st. Simon,
and the case proved to be an unusu-
ally interesting one.
From the evidence introduced, it
seems that in March, of last year,
the little girl, who resided with her
parents at st. Simon mills, mysterl-
ously disappeared. She was missing
for two nights and day, when she
was found, or rather she was deliver
ed to Rev. D. Watson Winn by the
defendant. The parents of the girl,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Thomson, ap-
peared as prosecutors, and they claim
ed that the girl was stolen from heI
home by threats made by Hines;
that she was kept in a small house
across the river from st. Simon FOR
the length of time given, and that she
was tied by the defendant. who, after
liberating her, threatened to kill her
and her mother if she told them that
she had been held by force.
On the other hand Hines contended
that he was at st. Simon in his house
boat, that the girl left her home be-
cause she had been cruelty treated by
her mother, that she came to him for
protection and he cared for her for
two nights and day. He did not de-
sire to take her aboard his house
boat, he claimed, for various reasons,
and consequently gave her place
to sleep in the little house.
The evidence, it seems, was very
contradictory, but the jury evidently
thought the contentious of the de-
fendant were right, and after being
out for a short time returned a YER
dict of not guilty.
Hines was represented by Attorney
Tison, of Darien, and Judge Max
Isaac, of this city, while Solicitor
Thomas was assisted in the prosec'''
ton by Judge A. D. Gale.
A large number of st. Simon people
were in court, many Of them benig
witnesse, while others attended the
court during the day to hear the evl'
dence in the case.
The court will convene at the usu-
al hour this morning and continue
work on the criminal docket.
