recently celebrated their both wedding
anniversary, and what makes the occa-

marriage in both their cases.
The school house was broken into
Tuesday night again, no doubt by
youths gifted with very little brains,
for they took few small things which
could not possibly be of any use to
them.
The GAINESVILLE we'll drillers gave up
their attempt at getting water in the
first hole started at the school building,
after going to a depth of nearly 200
feet and striking rock and bending
the tubing. Last week they started
again from the top, seven feet from
their former work, and Tuesday struck
the finest kind of water at $50 feet.
The water stands at depth of 40 feet
which assures plentiful supply.

The remains Of Willie williams, who

White and Edward Dansby, and who
was twice tried and convicted with n
recommendation for mercy, passed
through Pensacola Saturday night and
Sunday were buried by relatives at
Pine Barren.
Parties coming to the city last night
said the remains had been identified
not only by the relatives, but by other
parties as Williams. The body was
not in a good state Of preservation,
owing to the fact that death occurred
Friday night, but the features were
not changed TO any great extent and
could easily be recognized.
These partiesFalso brought informa-
tion that williams had been planning
to make his escape for several weeks,
as he had written TO several parties
for money and had been sent some.
BY this IL is known that he planned
his escape and wanted the money with
which to get out Of the country.

GERMANY IS
NOW AGREEABLE
PROPOSITION FOR A general
ARBITRATION TREATY SUBMIT
TED TO THE STATE DEPART
MENT BY COUNT Won BERN
sToFF.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE reply to
the proposition for a general arbitra-
tion treaty with the United States was
presented to the state department to-
day by Count Won Bernstein, the Ger
man ambassador. 1t is understood to
be distinctly favorable to the princi-
pies laid down by Secretary Knox and
to presage negotiation of a treaty with
Germany similar to the pending con-
vention with Great Britain and France,
provided the United States does not
drastically amend these agreements.
Previous efforts to negotiate an arbi-
tration treaty with Germany failed be-
cause OF necessity to refer the ques-
tion to the senate and in each case in
controversy II was claimed the treaty
would bind Germany absolutely to ar
bitrate, while the United States was
bound only on the senates approval. 1t
is understood Germanys objection to
this score will be met with a clause in
the proposed treaty providing all dis
putes shall be arbitrated under special
agreements in each case, special agree
ments binding only when confirmed by
the two governments by an exchange
of notes.
President Taft has about decided not
TO press the senate to raitfy the arbi-
tration with England and France at
the special session of congress.

number of people on the train and to

sheriff was called upon and Gamer IL
claimed to have gone into the toilet
room on the coach and to have re-
fused to have come out when ordered

Great Excitement in Oklahoma
Over Assaults on White Woman

posse of citizens were chasing a. negro
at Diamond, Okla, who is alleged to
have insulted a white woman. Another
attack on a white woman by a negro
at Porter, Okla, comprise the hap
penings which the last two days have
sent this section of Oklahoma into a
seething race quarrel. At Caddo, Okla,
the trouble started soon as it was
learned that the negro who attacked
Mrs. L. r. Campbell here Saturday
had been killed and the body burned.
Mrs. Campbell, who died of her in
juries at Sherman, Texas, today, iden-
titled the body of the negro before she
was taken to Texas. The negro is said
to have lived at Caddo, where negroes
predominate numerically. AS soon as
friends heard of the death of Mrs.
Campbelrs assailant there was talk
of organizing and seeking revenge. To
forestall this white men of Caddo
formed a posse and posted signs warn
ing the negroes to leave town before
Saturday night. The negroes started
to leave, but there is talk that they
expected aid from negroes of other
towns. Since then all negroes have
left this place, but 1t is said the blacks
of other towns are preparing to open
a fight upon the whites of this Sec
ton.
