Rural Route Again

A petition Is being circulated and
numerously signed for the establ ish-
ment OF a rural route between Ord
way and Forder postoflice. forty miles
north OF here. At the latter point the
route from here will connect with the
one running from Fur1cr to Colorado
Springs, thus giving us the advantage
Of continuous communication in that
direction and serving large number
OF people between Ordway and Fordcr.
A petition for the establishment OF
this route was circulated some months
ago and numerous signatures obtained,
but it, seems to have been sidctracked
somewhere. as letter received by A.
NJ. Brenaman from Senator Guggcn-
helm states that the petition never
has been filed with the department in
Washington. 1t is to be hoped that
this time the matter may be carried
to a successful elimination.

Three Year Homesteads

In its last issue the Fowler Tribune
says:
Congressman E. T. Taylor Of Colo
RADIO is leading movement in Wash
ington having for it's purpose the sub
stituti0n of the form of the Canadian
Homestead law, in place of our own.
Mr. Taylor says. 1T is a matter of
fact that we are losing about 125. 900
farmers to Canada every year, who are
attracted purely by the advantageous
and land laws of the Dominion We
should do something tn prevent the
emigration. We should reduce the
term from five years tothrcc forhome-
steaders, and we should offer other
announcements to the people who
take up these lands" Mr.. Taylor has
the assurance that every man in Con-
gress whose state is affected by these
laws will cooperate in the general
plan for amendment.

The Larger Good

l loafcd around the neighborhoOd
and talked about the Larger Good. l
talked of measures which would keep
the nation from the garbage heap, |
pointed out the fatal flaws, in most of
our existing laws, and spoke of reme-
dies which would contribute to the
Larger Good. And old Bill Wax, who
lives next door, to whom l have re-
ferred before, who doesn't seem to
care a cent about the country's govern
ment, who has no high thought in his
block, cleaned all the snowdrifts from
his walk, and on the ice some ashes
threw, and people raised a howdy do
about his public spirit, then, and said
he was the best of men. And |, who
have for ages stood a-whooping for the
Larger Good. have got no credit at the
store, and folks insist that I'm bore.
1t simply shows how low and base and
tritling is the human race.

ALLEGED MURDERED JAILED.
John Robertson Lodged i'm Jail Fri
day Morning on His Arrival Here
In Charge of Detective Hogan.

Chief Hogan OF the Charles
ton detective force arrived in the city
friday morning from Charleston,
having with him John Robertson a
negro who is charged with the mur-
der of Henrietta Evans on the night
of September %, 1908. on the out
skirts Of the southern part of this
city. robertson admits being the
man wanted, but states that he kill
ed the Evans woman because he was
afraid she would Kill him.
The arrest Of Robertson came about
through the recent publication and
circulation by Sheriff Epperson of
handbills containing descriptions of
the persons wanted in this county
for various reasons and also naming
the reward, if any, for the capture
and return of the parties. A few
days following the receipt of these
circulars Policemen Garbina and Ad-
olson Of the Charleston force came
across Robertson and arrested him.
He filled the description given in the
circulars pretty accurately and was
brought on here and positively iden-
tilted. Sheriff Epperson giving Chief
Hogan a certificate for the receipt of
the man and lodging him in Jail.
Chief Hogan stated Friday morning
that he was very much pleased with
Sumter and that it looked 20 him like
hustling little town. He said that
he had received the kindest treat
ment while here and would always
pleasantly remember the place. He
jocularly remarked that for a dry
town, it was the wettest place he had
ever struck.
The governor had offered a reward
Of S100 for the arrest of Robertson
and it is probable that this amount
will be secured by the Charleston Of
| ficers for their efficient and prompt
detective work. Robertson is said to
have killed the Evans woman after
he had been living with her a num-
ber Of years. when she had decided
to leave him and marry another man.
