who sprang into worldwide promi-
nence by leading the moyemaat that
ousted the old ministry several

The trumped-up charges against
William Seymour Edwards of this

warrant against him was dismissed
by Judge NJ. Gilchrist.
Edwards was instrumental in bring

taken into custody by operatives OF
William j. Burns, and had more than
twenty-five thousand dollars in their

later indicted on several counts in

One Of the alleged grafters had Ed

United States government fer ten
months in telling it that Madero bad
the malcontents throughout the repub-
lie under control he stated what every
body in the City of Mexico and many
persons in Washington knew perfectly
well.
That Madero was not forced from
his place months ago was due 70 the
belief throughout Mexico that the
United States was supporting his ad
ministration. Much as Meyicans, us a
rule, hate Americans, they have q
wholesome respect for the United
States government.
From the first Madero was an easy
target for his enemies. His failure to
fulfill the chief pledge contained in the
program of San Luis Potosi made him
vulnerable. This was the pledge to
divide the land among the people when
be had conquered Diaz-in other words.
to break up the great estates so that
the poor man could buy a small plot
of land and actually W it.
This was the platform on which Ma
dero went TO war and on which he
first he was bitterly opposed by the
CientiGco group. The Cientitlcos are
not a party. The word is one applied
largely in derision to the great landed
proprietors who ruled Mexico with an
iron hand in the Diaz regime,
During his time in the presidency
Madero has never made a move to

has been that be could not do every

POISONED FLOUR
COMING HERE
FOR TEST

HAZLEHURST Nov. 13.-Some Of
the flour in which it is alleged Pat
rick Ursery put strychhine in an eff
fort to poison members of the family
of J, G. Ross, his father in-law, and
some of the biscuits made from this
-four will be sent to Atlanta for
analysis to-day.
S. d. Dell attorney for Ursery, to-
day said he would make a public
statement in his clients behalf on
Saturday. He declared serious mis-
take had been made in accusing Ur-
sery Of the poison plot
The February Grand Jury of jeff
Davis County is expected to invesi-
gate the case. In the meantime Ur-
sery will remain in the Appling Coun-
ty jail at BaXley, where he was taken
following his arrest, unless he is able
to make the $4,000 bond fixed by The
committing magistrate, He was re-
moved to Baxley because jeff Davis
County has no Jail.
The Ross family is to-day out Of
danger, and even the dog which ate
some of the poisoned biscuit, is re-
covering.
Ursery is alleged to have pur-
chased strychnine here on Saturday
saying possums were eating his
chickens. This, however, he denies
although 1t is said three physicians
will testify to the contrary.
Feeling is running high against
Ursery, but there is no fear of at
tempted mob violence.
The Ross family on Monday morn
ing, it is stated, partook very lightly
Of the biscuit prepared for breakfast,
because of a peculiarly bitter taste.
The family's dog got a good share of
what was left. Then the dog disap-
peared and it was thought it was
dead The canine, however, returned
after an absence of day and is now
recovering
