Plans for Building Railroad
Are Outlined.

Covington, La, May 21.-Citi.
zens gathered in the porlors OF
the New Southern Hotel last
evening to meet Judge W. H.
Hardy, president of the Gulf.
port and Western Railroad Com
pany. Judge Hardy outlined his
plans for building the Gulfport
and Western Railroad, which will
run from Gulfport, Miss, to
Covington, La. The road will
run through a country full of
natural resources, as yet unde-
veloped, and will connect with
practically all the railroads
now running ilto New Orleans
and put them in touch with the
finest harbor on the Gulf Coast,
A steamship company has been
organized, and will operate in
connection with this line, which
will make the Gulfport and West
ern transcontinental road.
Judge Hardy wishes to inter.
est the citizens of the country
through which the road runs, in
order to make it a local enter
prise, as far as possible, and
with this end in view he sug-
gested that a special tax be voted
in the different wards thro which
the road will run, the tax to run
for ten years and not to exceed
$4,000. To raise such an amount
the millage will be insignificant,
being less than two mills. Judge
Hardy further proposed that all
persons paying this tax be re-
imbursed by giving each tax
payer stock in the railroad com.
pany, the stock to equal the
amount of taxes paid. In other
words, the tax paid is not a bonus
|or loan, but is a subscription
to stock in the company. Judge
Hardy stated also that in order
to interest local capital in the
road, $25.00O in debentures will
be offered for sale at Is cents on
the dollar, these debentures to
bear 6 per cent interest.
The chairman of the meeting
was authorized to appoint an ex-
ecutive committee from the
Third, Sixth and Tenth wards,
Through which the road runs,
the committe to have authority
to take up all matters pertaining
to the bringing of the road into
this section.

America WAS fign;;ag ftl r.=r inde-
pendence there were needed many
foreigners to aid in military organiza-
tion. Baron Steuben, the Prussian;
Pulaski and Kosciusko, the Poles, and
Lafayette, the Frenchman, were the
most notable figures. Of all these it
can be said that they were fighting
for the cause of freedom, which was
also their own; but they were soldiers
of fortune, nevertheless.
Thre were many adventurers in
the Italian war for freedom, and Gar
ibaldi had been one himself, serving
in the French navy and in the army
of the Republic of Rio Grande," the
present Uruguay. Even when he had
attained the height Of his fame he,
with his sons, served in the French
army during the Franco-Prussian
war.
In the wars of Servia and Bulgaria
there were Austrians, Russians and
many other foreigners, while in Spain
one has but to consider the names Of
certain statesmen of recent years to
see how many adventurers have serv-
ed to make the history Of that coun-
try
A warrior named O'Higgins played
a chief part in the wars Of Chilli. In
China the leaders have time and again
been men of western race, and it
would be interesting to learn how
many graduates of Annapolis have
served in the Chinese navy. In Mo-
rocco, but a short while ago, it was
Kaid Mclean who was the moving
agent in affairs.
There are many new things that
combine to render the trade of the
soldier of fortune less picturesque
than it formerly was War today is
a much more highly organized affair
than it was years ago. Before they
fight, nations are apt to sum up care
fully the forces with which they have
to contend, and every step that is TAX
en- in organization means one less
face for the soldier Of fortune.-Har-

today by Secretary Daniels. The Sc

to a senate resolution, and supple

armor plant.
Millions can be saved either by ap-
Grating a government plant, or by

declared. Therefore, he asked con-

GARRETT DIES IN

Any More Than You Can Help.
His Last Request.

HIS Last request
Columbia, July 14.-For the murder
on May IS of Aaron Campbell, his SON.
in-law, and ]. H Campbell, the father
OF Aaron, in Lee county, NJ. L. Gar
rett, who had served terms on the
chain gang in his county and in the
State penitentiary, was this morning
electrocuted at the State prison in the
presence of some thirty-five witnesses
In the crowd were several citizens OF
the neighborhood where the crimes
we're committed A brother Aaron
Campbell was present to witness the
legal atonement for the deed prompted
by Jealous rage, which resulted in
death of his brother and father.
Garrett, who, during the period OF
his confinement at the penitentiary,
has apparently faced death with the
greatest fear, this morning walked IN
to the death chamber and sat in the
chair with splendid composure, though
it was evident in the low tones that
he used that he felt deeply the awful
seriousness of the moment. His last
request was: "Kill me quick and don't
hurt me any more than you can help"
The Straps Adjusted.
Al 1870 the witnesses to the cleo
trocution gathered in the death house
and two minutes later the doomed
man was led into the room. He was
neatly dressed and limped painfully on
one leg, the result of an old injury.
The death warrant had earlier been
read. His trousers were ripped to
the knee to allow the clamp to be
placed around his leg, and all that
remained to be done was to adjust the
straps and throw the switch which
sends the powerful current through
the body of the condemned.
The straps were quickly placed and
Col. D. ]. Griffith, superintendent OF
the penitentiary, gave Garrett oppor-
tunity to make a final statement.
Don't hurt me any more than posi-
hle," he began, and told Of having
talked with the preachers. I've
prayed all I could" he said, but ex-
pressed no belief that he would be
saved. He asked that his body be
sent to Sumter for burial and ended
his brief farewell by repeating his re-
quest that he be quickly killed.
State Electrician T. @. Boozer ad-
iusted the helmet of copper and at
1877 o'clock gave the signal to Guard
J. C.. Robbins to throw the switch that
sent 1900 volts of electricity through
CARROTS body. At the end of min
ute the current was turned off and an
examination of the body by physicians
followed. Death was pronounced by
DIR. J. T. Jennings at 1l.4l.
CARROTS deed was prompted by a
fierce jealously. Hatred for the man
who married his daughter caused him
to go to her home and the double kill
ing resulted. Garrett then forced his
daughter to accompany him to the
woods nearby, where he stayed in hid
ing for several days. Blood-hounds
from the penitentiary trailed the man
and finally led to his place of hiding,
where he was captured without blood
shed.
