been wounded. He was serving mis-
demeanor sentence. OF those recap
tured, one is charged with assault to
Kill, two with arson, and seven with

The eleven negroes had pried the
bolts from the cage door with a piece
of iron pipe, went through a scuttle
hole to the roof, and descended to the

they reached the ground. a pointer dog

GREENVILLE & KNOXVILLE
EXTENSION Is SURVEYED

GREENVILLE, S. C.. Sept. 6.-From
an official source 1T is learned that the
work Of extension on the Greenville
and Knoxville railway will begin with
in the next 30 days. Within the past
week engineers have completed the
survey from Davenport to Gap Creek
Gap, a distance of twelve miles This
gap is at the top Of the Saluda ridge
and the route laid out by the engineers
is on grade of IS feet to the mile
This is considered remarkably low
grade for a mountain road, and is an
agreeable surprise to the promoters
The Gap Creek route is the lowest
route across the Blue Ridge mountains
between Richmond and Atlanta Re
cent developments certainly mean that
the Knoxville road will be put through
within the next twelve months.

IT would be bad enough" said one
committeeman, for Gilmer county to
practice its methods within it's own
boundary. 1t would be a deplora BILE
state of affairs if Gilmers venal cleo
lions were confined exclusively to 10
car matters. But when an entire
judicial circuit is subjected TO victo-
rlous fraud through the acts of
VICIOUS electorate in one county. and
When that county undertakes to dom
mate unrighteously all outside but
equally interested territory, it is high
time to call a halt"
Chairman William ]. Harris has
oeen universally complimented upon
the fairness of his rulings and his al
ways evident purpose to give both sides
to the unfortunate Gilmer county fight
the widest latitude In setting forth its
case.
Mr.. Harris, appealed to early in the
proceedings to rule out this or that
evidence, informed the committee that
he proposed to rule out nothing what
ever.
This committee is composed Of in
teiigent men. 1t is sitting as both
judge and jury. It is able to discrim-
mate between the relevant and the ir-
relevant. l am not a lawyer, and do
not understand the intricate rules Of
evidence invoked in court house pro
ceedtngs. l am presiding here to see
that Justice obtains-H do know that,
Witnesses may testify ss this commit
tee in its wisdom sees fit to permit
them" said Mr. Harris
This ruling undoubtedly prolonged
the hearing. but It helped nightly to
bring about a result founded upon truth
and the facts, as they were developed
on the stand
Attorneys ON both sites Of the GaS-
mer contest are TO be Congratulated
upon their conduct OF the hearing.
Necessarily loose, and unmind4ul off
the usual nioeties and distinction m
sisted upon in the court room, the
hearing nevertheless was, particularly
in it's finish admirably carried akons.
Representing Judge Morris were La

The published statement that ],
Randolph Anderson. of Savannah, was
one of the Morris attorneys was mis-
take Mr.. Anderson had no comneo-

Antonio Scott.
Sudden Departure of Prima
Donna, Supposedly Sick. for
Munich Is Recalled.

LONDON. Sept. 6.-Charlotte Ives,
the American actress, now at the Hotel
Savoy confirms the report of her en-
gagement to Antonio Scott, baritone
of the Metropolitan opera Company in
New York. She said the marriage
would take place as soon as the ar
range1 ents could be made. 1t will
probaH be in New York.
The etrothal has caused a stir both
here q on the continent, because it
marks the collapse of the long lived
rumor that the famous baritone would
marry Geraldine Farrar, the prima
donna.
The announcement has given new
interest to the fact of the sudden de-
parture of Miss Farrar for Munich re-
Gently. I'll health was given as the
reason for her trip, but of course there
are now some who surmse for the
sake of chat, that there may have been

Miss Ives has been on the continent
during the summer, and has visited
Signor Scotti's family. She and her
friend Miss Anne Meredith, attracted
considerable attention when they ac-
companied the airman, Sommer, in
flights at Eyian les Baines, France.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Signor Scot
ii had not taken any of his American
acquaintance into his confidence CON
corning his latest romance. 1t was
generally supposed he would, some day
wed Geraldine FarTar,
The first report that Scott and Miss
Farrar were to be married gained Gre
dence back in 1905, when they arrived
in the autumn to fill their engage
ment here. Both have busily denied
the report ever since, but Scotti's at
tentions to the prima donna continued
to feed the fires of rumor.
Even after the opera season was over.
Signor Scott used to follow Miss Far
rar to Paris, and he was her devoted
cavalier during several summer en-
gagements. Some of Miss Farrar's
friends say she believed no artist
should marry and they attribute her
refusal to her devotion to her art.
The baritone will remain abroad for
several weeks longer, it is understood.
In 1903 Signor Scott was reported
engaged TO Miss Mary Brtton Leavy, a
New York heiress.

Somebody remarks that this is the
funniest political campaign year ever
seer in this section. And that is about
so. Practically no local nor state poll
tics are talked as is usually the case.
National matters are discussed quite
freely, and with. interest, chiefly on
account of the third party, third term
feature. But no body seems to think
there is anything very serious to result
from the election of either one of the
candidates. Certainly there is no feel
ing of ~uneasiness as to business being
effected. Perhaps more people are
coming to realize that this haunting
fear of ruin from a national election
going against the administration in.
power is the merest CANNON. There
never was any real foundation for the
feeling that a change of administration
would bankrupt the nation or ruin busi-
ness, but the manipulators in Wall
street and other financial centers, and
the partisan press all conspired to try
to work the voters into q frenzy of
fear, and often they have been made
fools of in this way. But the indepen-
dent spirit Of political thought,has been;
growing and you cannot fool the pec-
pie as easily as was once the case.

ones, long and ugly ones, some.with
rattlers and a deadly poison. This will
not be caused from drink alone, but
from one man not knowing the habits
Of snakes. A carnival company spent
five days in Underwood during the
county fair. One of the company was
a snake charmer but he knew little
about snakes. Two very cold days

thought winter was upon them and
started to take their long nap. The
charmer decided they were dead so
buried them. Several school boys
heard about it and dug them up and
cut off their rattlers. A few days later
the sun decided to warm the earth again
and one Of the snakes was seer crawl
ing leisurely around, seemingly happy
over its freedom. The balance of the
snakes will no doubt be seen this fall
