ANOTHER GOOD ROADS TRAIN
The Atlantic Coast Line Railway to
Operate One.

That there is no end OF benefit to
acrue from good roads is a fact
which cannot be denied and a fact
which is recognized all over the
country. So much Importance is at
tached to this subject that the two
leading railroad systems Of the south
have taken up the matter OF educat-
ing the people along this line and
have sent out good roads trains.
Already one of these trains has
visited this city and within a little
more than month another such
train will be here being sent by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The
Southern Railway sent such a train
here during the summer gone which
was operated out of Richmond. The
one from the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway will be sent out from the
same point and is scheduled to reach
this city on the morning OF Jan. 8.
The train will spend the greater part
of the day in this city.
The train is made up Of several
coaches which are fitted up with the
latest devices for road building and
travelling with the train will be sew
eral government experts who will
make addresses and show those who
visit the train just how to build
roads and how to keep them intact
after they have once been properly
constructed.

CHASE OF BOLD THIEF
ROBBED a STORE WHERE LITTLE
GIRL WAS CLERK.
:;fter a Long Run, One Rascal Was
s:s.ot, Captured, But tre Other
Aiade Bis Escape.

With a severe flesh woun5 in the
left leg, just below the knee, caused
by pistol ball from the weapon Of
one Of his captors, Flux Suber, a
negro, was lodged in the Lexington
Jail Friday night. According to the
story told by the officers, Suber and
Oscar Cook, another negro, entered
the store of P. H. Stallings, th. we'll
known dry goods merchant If Brook
land, Friday afternoon about 2:3e
o'clock, and proceeded to take pos
session of the store, when they found
that only one clerk was in the store
at the time-a young girl.
While one Of the negroes. was pre-.
tending to look at some SOCKS the
other picked up a half dozen pains OF
pants, the best quality that was m
the shop. When the negro who was
looking at the socks Was told by the
young lady clerk that she could not
make the proper change to complete
the purchase, he said that was all
right he would take Two pair, thus
saving her the trouble to secure the
change.
At one time the young woman, VINO
was very much frightened. attempted
to leave the store to report the oc-
currence to the next door, but was
met at the door by one Of the ne
groes who had a drawn knife. Fin
ally, however, the negroes rushed
out, one of the mcarrying the bunch
Of pants, and the clerk at once re-
ported what HAD happened.
In a very short while, it is said, a
large posse was in pursuit, and so hot
became the chase that the pants were
dropped by one of tn eculprits. At
ter long chase across hill and Gale
the men in pursuit came upon Suber,
who was commanded to halt. Instead
Of stopping the fugitive is said to
have gotten faster and faster, and
it was necessary to shoot him in the
leg 10 effect his capture. Cook man
aged to escape.
Suber was carried back to Brook
land, where his injuries were looked
after by Dr.. Geige-. Suber had been
off the gang only short while, haT-
ing completed a sentence for larceny.
For a while there was intense excite
ment in the little town, and it looked
like the negroes were in DANCE. of
being sumdarily daelt with for their
dastardly attempts.

USED UP BY THUGS.
Man Beaten and Robbed in the
Streets Of Chicago.

A half hour spent in West Side
theater in Chicago, waiting for a
moving picture show to begin Friday
night, brought restless audience a
performance wholly unexpected. At
the end Of that time Charles O. Har-
ding, proprietor of the place, who, as
an usher explained 20 the restless
crowd, was on his way to the the
ater with films, staged down the
aisle.
His clothing was torn; he wore no
hat nor collar and his face and hands
were cut and bleeding. He did not
have the films.
81 could not get here any sooner" I"
he said, "and I apologize for the fact
that there will be no moving pictures
tonight
Then Harding explained that he
had been attacked by two brothers
who took his films together with two
valuable diamonds and his money, his
total loss amounting to about s1,400
besides the terrible beating which be
suffered.
One of the diamonds taken was in
a tight fitting ring which the ban
dts threatened to get even if they
had to cut off the finger. One drew
a knife and then Harding begged to
be allowed to remove the ring.

HOW TO CURE HAMS.
This Formula is Given by the Pro-
gressiye Farmer.

Trim them neatly and make a
brine strong enough to float fresh
egg. Put them in this and let them
remain for four or five days to draw
the blood. Then take them out and
boil and skim the brine and when
cold return them to the brine, adding
enough fresh brine to cover them,
and then add for each 100 pounds Of
ham a pint Of black molasses and
an ounce Of saltpeter, and let the
hams remain in the brine two or
three weeks.
Then take them out and hang and
smoke well with hickory wood or
corn cobs and smother the ire with
green cedar brush. When well
smoked, take them down and paint
them all over with mixture Of
black molasses and black pepper.
Wrap in stout brown paper and put
each in cotton sack and dip it in
lime wash and hang in a dark smoke
house. The hams will improve till
a year old.
I treat shoulders the same way,
and sides, except that the sides re-
main in the brine half the time the
hams do. Jowls treated IN this way
are fine for boiling with turnip
greens in the spring.

duction, it is matter Of justice to
the producers that We should give
them a full report as to the mill
takings, mill holdings, warehouse
holdings, consumption and demanad.
This is only fair, though the prob
lem Of arriving at the figures is
much more difficult 1t will be re-
membered that several years ago I
had passed resolution directing the
bureau of the census to Issue quar-
tecly report along these lin"s These
reports are being issued as lrected
by law, but time has proven that
they are not sufficiently comprehen-
sive nor are they issued with sufIici-
ent frequency. I have taken this
matter up with the director OF the
census and in conference with him
and the chief of the division OF agri-
culture we are endeavortng to work
out plan by which We can furnish,
along with the ginners' report. COM
prehensive report as to consumption
and demand, and the like OF cotton.
I hope to have this bill in readiness
for Introduction early in the week"

FOUND DEAD IN WATER.
Mystery Surrounds Death Of strang-
er at Beaufort.

Friday morning a mans body was
found face down IN the water near
the western short Of North river,
about three miles from Beaufort, n.
c. The man had evidently taken off
his outer clothes, as they we're piled
on the bank, and waddee into the

shoes and fallen on his knees IN the
shallow water.
The clothes contained only a watch,
pocket drinking cup and 20 cents in

THE SENATOR AT HIS POST.
He Was in His Seat When the Senate
Opened Monday.

When seen at his hotel IL Wash
ingto Monday evening Senator B. R.
Tillman appeared to have stood the
trip to Washington very well and
showed by his conversation that he
had already begun to put himself in
touch with government matters. He
attended the session OF the Senate,
where he was warmly welcomed by
his colleagues. The Senator says he
will ego slow" for a while, under
the advice of his doctors and friends,
but that he will keep a watch on
proceedings as well as he can with
his limited ocular equipment. After
a stay of about week the Senator
will return to his home IN this State
until after the holidays, as in his
opinion there will be no serious work
before the new year, when he will
&C back to Washington.

REBELS LYNCHED
GOMEZ AND EIGHT OTHER MEN
PUT TO DEATH.
Citizens Take the Unfortunate Men
Out Of Jail, March Them Out and

Shoot Them.
a dispatch from Mexico City says
"Che" Gomez, whose rebellion at
Juchitan resulted in clash between
President Madero and the governor
OF Oaxaca, was lynched Tuesday af-
ternoon at Rincon Antonio. Eight OF
Gomez's partisans net a like fate.
Gomez, who was on his way to the
capital accompanied by ten Of his
followers, was taken from the train
at Rincon Antonio, Oaxaca, Monday
afternoon and placed in jail by order
Of Gov. Juarez, in spite Of the fact
that he had been promised safe con-
duct by the president and bore a
passport signed by the executive. He
and eight Of his followers were taken
from the Jail by a mob Of residents
Of the little town augmented by
hundreds from the neighboring reg
ions, marched two miles from town
and shot to death.
Noting the ugly temper Of the peo-
pie and anticipating trouble, the To-
cal authorities reported the situation
to Gov. Benito Juacez, who was in
San Geronimo, about 40 miles from
Rincon Antonio. He secured the
consent Of Gen. Merodio to send
troops to the village. Before the
troops arrived, however, the guard Of
nine rurales constituting the entire
military force of the town, which had
battled with the mob Of 1000 or
more, had been overpowered by the
rabble, and the prisoners were car
ried Off into the hills.
The mo had stopped with its pris-
oners at little station. AS the
train appeared it was recognized as
troop train, and without waiting
longer the prisoners were riddled
with bullets and the assassins fed
into the hills. Only the bodies of
their victims were encountered by the
soldiers when they alighted from the
cars.
Reports from San Geronimo to-
night were that mobs Of Oaxacans
oaraded the streets shouting "Viva
Juarez,' Viva Oaxaca libre,' "Inde-
pendeDce" and death to Madero. .
Among the lynchers were many Of
the former followers Of Gomez who
declared he had betrayed them. Nu-
merous commissioners are reported
to have called upon the governor and
assured him Of their loyalty and sup
port.

THE UNITED STATES OF
Forcing Morgan Loan on Southern
Republic Under Threat Of Causing

In 200-page book published at
tral American republic will mean
rades, former minister Of finance OF
Honduras, declares the state depart
ment at Washington encouraged the.
Bonilla revolution in Honduras last

the governments of Great Britain,
Honduras and the United States is

the abandonment OF the Monroe doc
trine, the destruction Of the Pan
American union, a reproach to the
United States-which has so long

phere.'
Parades was opposed to ratifca-
ton by the United States senate OF
the Morgan loan treaty and his book
is intended for presentation to sena-
tors and congressman at Washington.

TRYING TO GET RICH QUICK.
Some Of the Foolish Things People
Lose Money In.

Money must be easy when such a
crude scheme as the United Wireless
could sell 100000 of worthless
stock to a conhding public, when the
Radio Telephone could sell s1,000,-
600, and the Columbian-Sterling and
Fampton's magazines $2,00o,000
more. The posto1ice department did
no better work than when 1t got af-
ter the dealers in gold-brick securi-
ties. 1t is said that the Wireless
crowd have s700,0Uo hidden away to
make them happy ~hen they get out
of the peniten.iary. The Govern
ment might we'll get after this mon
ey and distribute It among the duped.

Hong Kong is Chaotic.

A cable message from Hong Kong,
China, says although the reign Of
piracy on the West river has been
checked by the vigilance Of the
guards on board the river steamers,
the situation on shore is utterly cha
otic. The Hong Kong government
aas adopted the steTnest measures to
repress all outbreaks of rioting.

The Poultry Yard.

1t is not good for hens to dust in
coal or wood ashes only, some folks
claim, but We find that a few ashes
tighten up the dirt.
Noon is good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages OF roots Of any kind. The
latter can be cut in half, and the
hens will then pick them to pieces.
Have the floors of the houses well
bedded with some light litter, so that
the biddies will be Induced TO scratch,
and thus warm up their bodies these
cold, frosty mornings.
Drafts in the chickens home are
more dangerous when the lows are
quiet on the roost than when they
are stirring around during the day;
but cold air current sweeping
through the house is a bad thing
at any time.
Poultry feeding has been much i'm
proved and simplifed by the intro
duction of the hopper method. The
old-fashioned way Of preparing and
mixing wet mash is done away with,
on account of its tedious and need
less expense of time and labor. The
hopper is filed with variety of
ground grains, and placed wnere It
is accessible to the fowls at all times.
With this arrangement the hens need
never go to roost without sufficient
food.
Murderers Publicly Hanged.
At Palatka, Fla, Mill Mccoy and
Edgar Youmans, negroes, were hang

having been convicted Of the murder
of a man and women Of their own
race some time ago. Fully 2 500
people gathered to witpess the eS-
yard.
