TAFT GREETS DUKE
CCNNAUGHT MAKES BRIEF VISIT
TO WHITE HOUSE.
Troopers Conduct Royal Guest, Who
Later Dimes at British
Embassy.

Washington.-The duke of Con
naught, the first royal v1sltsr TO
Washington in many years, was re-
ceived by President Taft at the execu-
tive mansion and his call was re-
turned by the president at the British
embassy.
Escorted to the White House by
cavalry, received with all the honors
that flashing sabers, martial music
and ten aids could accord his royal
station, presented by the British am
bassador to the president of the
United States, the duke was then in
turn introduced by the president to
Mrs Taft All the women of the
cabinet circle, including Miss Taft,
were presented to the duke, but in
the case of the presidents wife, the
usual form of royal presentation was
reversed
AS the president and the duke stood
chatting in the blue room it would
have been difficult for a stranger to
determine which was of royal blood
and which an American citizen.
Inc elSnt hours the duke spent III
Washington were marked by his ex-
change of calls with the president, a
dinner and reception at the British
embassy and brief appearance at
the National Press club. The latter
occasion, at which he saw the Wash
ington correspondents of the news
papers of the country, was the only
affair except of a personal or purely
official character he has attended
since coming to the United States.

NO ONES ENEMY BUT HIS OWN.

A dissipated man who was found
dead in his bed the other day at a pri-
waite reformatory left note declaring
that he had found it impossible to
make good in this world. fate having
it in for me-" and seeking to extenu-
ate his failure by the remark that
latter / am gone no one can say that
l ever did them an injustice" The
writer of that letter was evidently one
OF those men-their number is con-
s1derable-who are disposed to blame
Of success and of whom it is said by
indulgent and sympathetic friends
that they are no ones enemy but their
own, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
That is what shiftless and improvi-
dent and undisciplined people have
been doing since the beginning OF
time, and the plea is inadmissible. No
doubt some are luckier than others.
and in case OF few, misfortunes null
uply to such an extent that 1t does
seem as though they were the victims
of an unpropitious and avenging des-
tiny. But in the great majority OF
cases defeat is self-infiicted To say
of man that he is no ones enemy
but his own is to utter fallacy. The
man who does badly by himself must
necessarily do badly by others He is
a source of loss and sorrow within
the whole circle of his acquaintance,
and he is not to be excused upon the
ground that he is himself the greatest
sufferer from his wrongdoing.

Serious Crime Charged.
Darky Accused Of Attempted Assault
Captured After Hot Race.

Charged with the serious crime of
attempting an assault upon the wife of
a well-known white citizen residing
about four miles from Lexington, Olin
Watson, a negro, was lodged in the
Lexington County jail late Saturday
evening by Sheriff Sim J. Miller. The
crime is alleged to have been attempt
ed on Saturday, when the negro ap-
peared at the house of the woman and
asked for something to eat. Later he
returned and asked if the husband of
the woman was at home, and upon
being advised that be was not, the
negro is said to have made advances,
whereupon the woman picked up her
infant and hurriedly left the house,
going TO a mill near by, where she
broke the news Of what had happened.
1t is said that the negro evidently
feared the result, and left the COM
munity, coming to the Court House.
In the meantime the sheriff had been
notified Of what had occurred, and the
officer at once went to work on the
case. After securing description of
the negro, Sheriff Miller kept on the
watchout for the man, believing that
he was in the town of Lexington at the
time. Late in the evening he discoy-
cred negro passing the jail going
toward the depot, and the officer fol-
lowed. The negro realizing that he
was about to be captured, made a
hasty run for the depot, Sheriff Miller
in pursuit. For several hundred yards
the negro and the officer had warm
foot race, and when Watson found ont
that the sheriff was rapidly outstretch-
ing him, he lodged behind a large
tree On the side of the road. Sheriff
Miller ran on by the negro for few
steps, when he suddenly came to a halt
and nabbed the negro by force.
So far there has not been any excite
ment and no fears of summary ven
geance is anticipated.
Watson is said to be from Saluda
County, but has been driving alunlber
wagon for the past several weeks for Il
prominent saw mill man near Lexing-
ton.

WAR ON THE BOIL WEfYl;;
CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ROADS
Interesting Methods for HeIping tho
Farmers Fight Cotton Foe
for Arousing Interest in
Road Improvement.

The advent Of the boil wee7ii into
the territory Of the Southern Rail-
way System caused it to take up
work to combat its ravages. To this
end q! cotton culture department vas
organized, with a chief and a force
of field agents, each one OF whom has
had practical experience in growing
cotton under boil weevil conditions,
to cover the districts Of Alabama and
Mississippi where the weeVil has at
ready appeared or threatens. More re-
Gently the work OF this department
was extended to Southern Georgia
along the lines OF the Southern Rail-
way and the Georgia, Southern and
Florida. The agents Of this depart
ment work in harmony with those OF
the United States farm denonstra-
ton bureau and with the state au'
thorities, doing special work with the
individual farmer in instructing him
in the best ways to raise cotton un-
der weevil conditions and in showing
ulLi AO~ uC NdA OlSC1oAAy AAS
to the best purpose.
The management Of the Southern
Railway System has long held that
the improvement Of the country road
meant prosperity and advancement
alike to the railroad and the resident
Of it's territory, and especial benefit to
the farmer. Ten years ago, in 1901,
it started out it's first Good Roads
train, which spent six months build
ing demonstration roads, holding road
conventions and agitating for better
highways. There is just ending the
tour of another good roads train, also
out six months, operated by the South
ern Railway System In Cooperation
with the United States Office of Pub
lie Roads. In the years between, con-
stant attention has been paid to worF
along this line.
