Woman Shoots Negro.

Tampa, Fla, July 11.-Desperately
wounded, an unknown negro is hid
den in swamp between DeLand
and Palatka, Florida, near Crescent
City Junction, while around the
swamp is a Gordon of officers who
have stood guard throughout the
night and are waiting for the negro
to attempt to force his way to lib
erty.
The negro was shot down by a
woman, wife of a storekeeper at Hull
Branch crossing, whom he tried to
assault.
She shot at him three times and
at the third shot the negro fell, but
rose again and headed for the deep
woods into which he was later track
ed by posse of deputies and citi-
zens.
The negro entered the store yes
terday afternoon, no one was present
but a woman clerk. He asked her for
a drink of water. She handed him a
glass and told him to get it at the
pump. The negro grabbed her and
she jerked loose from him, leaving a
part of her clothing in his grasp. She
rushed upstairs to her room, the ne
gro following her. She seized pis-
tol and fired three shots at him.
He fell at the third shot and she
left him lying on the floor, apparently
dying, and ran to the nearest neigh
bor's house. When she returned with
her neighbor, the negro had gone,
leaving trail of blood, which later
was taken up by posse with two
bloodhounds.
They traced the negro for eighteen
miles into a big swamp near Crescent
City Junction. Back in the woods,
the dogs lost the trail. where the ne
gro entered the swamp, which is un-
der water. The posse surrounded the
swamp last evening and is still there
watching for the negro.

WOULD TIGHTEN LIQUOR LAW.
Georgia House Passes Alexander
Tippins Prohibition Bill.

Atlanta, July 10.-The Alexander
Tippins substitute for the famous
"near-beer' bill, one of the most dras-
tic prohibition measures in the his
tory of the State, was adopted to-day
by the house of the general assembly
by a vote of 129 to AZ.
Supporters Of the measure in the
house express confidence that it will
meet with little opposition in the sen
ate. The vote by which. the measure
was adopted to-day also was sufficient
to pass the bill in the event that it
should be vetoed by Gov. Brown.
AS adopted by the house, the Alex
ander-Tippins bill prohibits the sale
of beverages containing more than
one-half of one per cent. of alcohol
anywhere in the State of Georgia. In
addition to this provision, which was
aimed at the "near-beer" saloons,
Stringent measures are provided
which practically will put the ban on
locker clubs of every description
throughout the State.
By the provisions governing locker
clubs, their control is left largely in
the hands of the governor of the
State Provision also is made for
the prosecution of officials of the
clubs for perjury, in the event OF
false testimony regarding the dispen-
sation of beverages containing more
than the prescribed amount of alco-
hol. Several amendments to the
measure were introduced, including
one to leave the matter to be decided
by the popular vote of the citizens of
the State. All, however, were de-
feated.
Keen interest was manifested dur
ing the entire proceedings by the
public. Many women took an active
part in the contest between the
"wets" and the "drys." The an
of the vote on the meas
ure was followed by. an enthusiastic
demonstration.

FAMILY OF 45 POISONED.
Fatal Fourth of July Dinner-Some
Dead, Others will Die.

Augusta, Ca, July 9.-1t has just
developed that 45 people, all mem
bers of the Canady family, near Gar
field, Ca, were poisoned at family
reunion at the home of Mac Canady,
on the Fourth of July. Indications
were that poison was put in several
articles used in the dinner, since
every member of the family at the
table was victim, and all OF them
did not eat of any one particular kind
of food.
Last Saturday, Tillman Canady,
one of the brothers, died. Yester-
day Mrs. Faircloth, daughter Of Mac
Canady, and one of her children,
died. Thirteen members of his fam
lily are seriously i'll at the home of
Mac Canady. Ben Canady is in q
critical condition, and every mem
ber of his family is sick.
Appeal has been made to the city
hospital in Augusta for assistance,
the appeal stating that 25 members
of the Canady family are in a critical
condition. Four trained nurses, all
the hospital could spare at the time
for emergency calls, were rushed to
Summertown, and will be taken
home.
A long distance telephone message
from Garfield tonight says the total
number poisoned is As, of whom the
dead are: H. Tillman Canady, Henry
Covena, of Wesley, Ca; Mrs. Fair
cloth, a daughter of Mac Canady,
and her child. Seven others can't
recover, according to the physicians
statements. !,
The poisoning resulted from miA-
ing seasoning containing black pep
per and vinegar in zinc tub and
used on barbecued meat.
The Canady family and connec-
tons are among the most prominent
and well-to-do people Of Emanuel
county.

through the country to the Canady
Work of the Boys Corn Club.

When there was good preparation
of the land before planting, crops
over this country promise very we'll
and where the preparation was not
as thorough as it should have been
the prospects are not quite so good.
That is the opinion of Mr.. John R.
Bair, county demonstration agent for
the department of agriculture, who
was in Yorkville yesterday. He has
been making his rounds among the
farmers of the county since spring,
and he is well up on the whole sub
ject. Asked about how the corn
club boys are coming on, Mr.. Blair
said that they are doing fine. All
the boys on the list are sticking, he
said, and he went on to declare that
a good many of the boys are furn-
ishing some object lessons for their
fathers, especially in the matter of
preparation. Mr.. Blair gives it as
his unhesitating opinion that the boy
who wins the corn prize this year
will have to produce more than one
hundred bushels on his prize acre,
and there are going to be a dozen
or more to push him close. AS to
what the corn crop generally is go
ing to do, said Mr.. Blair, will de-
pend upon July seasons. The fate
of some of the crops will depend
upon the seasons of the next ten
days; but most of them have the
balance of July in which to do this.
The earlier paintings of course, are
not showing up as satisfactorily as
might be, said Mr. Blair; but 1 no
tice some fields of corn that are
very promising. This is where the
preparation has been good.
AS to cotton Mr.. Blair says, every
body knows you can't tell anything
about it, until it has been ginned.-

Jesuit Question Reserved.

BERLIN, May S.-The Jesuit ques-

Germany and now has in the newspa-
pers an Importance almost as great as
in the days of Bismarck's famous and
unsuccessful 'Kulturkamf," or strug-

One of the first acts of the new Ba-
E! varian ministry, coming into power in
consequence of the victory of the Cler-
ical Centre party in the Bavarian cleo
lions, was the issuance of decree
modifying the severity of enforcement
of the long-standing imperial legisla-
many and in the resulting controversy
it was brought out that an "interpre-
tation" of the imperial law, not al all
unfavorable to the Jesuit order, had
been issued in Prussia.
AS it is the duty of the emperor and
his responsible representative, the i'm
perial chancellor, who is also as it hap
pens prime minister in Prussia, to
watch against attractions of imperial
laws, the opposition papers have made
much of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's embarrassing dual role and

with meningitis or other infectious
complaints.
In these days of enlightenment,
when men should be governed by
reason instead of superstition, and
when common sense should prevail
over fear and alarm which may be
intensified by exaggeration or some
ridiculous action, it is only the vii
lage and the small town which goes
into fits and wants to be closed
against the world when infectious
or contagious diseases are preva-
lent.
At this time it may be said that
meningitis is prevalent in many
towns and cities, for instance in
Caddo City, at Vivian and at other
towns adjacent to Shreveport, and
at Dallas and in New Orleans, but
these towns and cities, unlike
Shreveport, have not paraded their
