who took French leave Of the United
States Court here several days ago
while the jury was out celebrating

quently brought to jail by two sturdy
sons OF the old fellows bondman, has
added another interesting chapter to
his eventful life history by escaping
from two Federal officers while the
three were speeding toward the city
OF Atlanta, where the sly old man of
the hills was to serve a two years
sentence for his misdeeds.
Raiding Deputy G.. c.. Corn, Of
G~rcenville, and Office Deputy Mar

the Grcenvillc Jail and carried him
to Charleston for the purpose of al
lowing Judge Smith to pass sentence
on him, the jury having convicted
him at the session OF court recently
adjourned. Judge Smith sentenced
Durham to serve two years in the
Federal pcnitentiary in Atlanta, and
pay a fine.
Officers Corn and Adams, it is UNI
d~crStood, were on the way TO Atlanta
with Durham when the old fellow cs-
capped. The three we're neal Branch

speed when the Old m~oonshincr man
aged to excuse himself for a while.

In driving across country to Grange
vile this week we discovered that the
grain harvest has only commenced.
Very little threshing has been done as
yet and great deal Of grain remains
uncut. With fine weather all the time,
it will take at least three weeks to
clean the fields and no time is being
lost to get the grain to market.

We haven't time this week to give
the Border Days celebration at Grange
vile the writeup it deserves, but this
much can be said: It was a success
from start to finish and the people Of
Grangeville did everything they posi-
bly, could to entertain and accommo-
date the visitors.
Thousands of people were admitted to
the grounds during the three days,
and the crowds grew larger each day.
The riding and other performances
were fully up to expectations, and no
one had any reasons to feel dissatisfi-
ed with the daily program. One feature
of each days doings was worth the
price of admission, and all who enjoy
ed the real CROUCH stuff" in riding
must have enjoyed themselves to their
heart g content.
All things considered, the first Bor-
der Days celebration was a success,
and those at the head of it have reason
to feel that they did exceedingly well in
this, their first attempt at what pro-
misses to become an annual event
which will make Grangevile famous.

People Should Finance Wilson's CdnDdi0n

Gov. Wilson takes the position that
it is as much the duty of the people
to own the party machinery as it is
the Government machinery; for this
is a government of parties, and the
government can therefore, be no better
than the influences which put it in
power and keep it in power. In the
past these influences have been corpor-
atoms and individuals seeking special
privileges from the government and ex-
acted from Government Officials heavy
tribute in return for having financed
the campaign that give these officials
their position of power.
Gov. Wilson wants nothing and will
have nothing of this sort. He wants
the people to own the party, which
means they will own the government.
Therefore he wants the Campaign

dent Of the United States, and in
