Near Beer is Thing of Past.

Atlanta, Sept. 24.-The near-becr
| Question, which is involving Macon
and other cities again this fall, is
simply the beer question in Atlanta.
Common consent here has knocked
the near out of beer, and suds are
suds, whether you lap 'em at your
club or with your foot on public
brass rail.
The old painted signs saying near
beer still hang over the doors of
most saloons, but there is no longer
any pretense to live up to them. The
principal saloons advertise the best
known brands of regular beer by
signs advertising real beer on draught
and by the bottle.
There seems to be tacit sort of an
understanding by which as long as
the saloons are run in decent, peace
able way, the city will make no effort
to analyze the percentage of alcohol
in the beer. On the other hand, it
is war to the knife on the illicit sale
of whiskey or any strong spirits, and
il is doubtful if a single beer saloon
in the whole city of Atlanta is SELL
ing any whiskey on the sly.

LASSOED A BIG RATHER.
How an Oklahoman Captured a H.
Pound Venomous Reptile.

After struggling for nearly an
hour, J. E. Franklin, by main force
and strength, captured alive probably
the biggest rattlesnake ever seen in
the valley of the Red River. The
weight of the snake is IA pounds.
Mr.. Franklin operates a saw mill
on Red River four miles north of
Denison. While Mr.. Franklin was
walking through the bottoms near
his mill he saw the huge rattler sun
ming himself.
The enormous size of the serpent
impressed Mr.. Franklin and he hur-
ried back to the mill, where he pro-
cured a lasso. Returning to the
place where he had seen the reptile
he found his snakeship quite angry,
standing almost erect and rafting his
buttons with great noise. The saw
mill man is an expert with rope,
and with little effort placed the moose
over the head of the rattler. Then
came the battle.
The snake, realizing that he was
trapped, attempted to strike his cap
tor repeatedly, but Mr.. Franklin
carefully avoided him. Tightening the
moose, he eventually choked the SER
pent until he could get hold of his
tail Then he dragged the snake to
the mill, where he was weighed and
placed in a strong box.-New York

Cost of Living

The high cost of living has been
attributed by some students of the
question to the natural increase in
population and the decrease of the
agricultural districts caused by peo-
pie moving from farms to cities. Sta
tistics recently compiled show that
the increase in the cost of living has
greatly exceeded the increase in pop
ulation and depopulation of the rural
districts. For instance the price of
bacon has advanced 12S per cent. in
the last fifteen years or about four
times the percentage increase in pop
ulation. The number of people leav-
ing the farms for the cities will not
make the difference existing as shown
by the statistics Remembering that
an effect always follows a cause suf-
fcient to produce it, it is evident that
other strong forces are at work
against low cost living.

WILD RIDE WITH DYNAMITE.
Horses Drawing Load of Explosives,
Stung by Yellowjackets, Run Away.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Sept. "a
While driving a team of horses at
tached to wagon which contained
1000 pounds of dynamite, George
Willis had an exciting experience to-
day when a swarm of yellow-jackets
attacked the horses and they ran
away.
For three miles the team dragged
the wagon, dynamite, and driver over
rough road. Willis realized that
if he jumped the team and wagon
would surely be blown to pieces, and
he decided to take a chance and
keep them in the road.
Several times the wagon nearly
upset. The horses stopped when ex-
hausted.

WARRANT FOR BALL PLAYER.
Takes Out Warrant Charging Her
Husband With Desertion.

Mrs. Ellis Blackstone of this city
has sworn out a warrant for her hus-
band, Ellis Blackstone, a we'll known
baseball player, charging him with
desertion and non-support of family.
Blackstone has been playing an out
field position with the Petersburg
club of the Virginia league, and al
though the season of that league is
closed, he has not returned to Green
vile.
According to information received
from Petersburg, Blackstone left that
place Immediately after the close of
the season and it was presumed that
he was on his way back to his family
in Greenville. AS yet the authorities
have not been able to determine his
whereabouts. The warrant for his
arrest is now in the hands of Sheriff
Rector.
Before becoming a professional
ball player, Blackstone worked as an
operative in one of the local cotton
mills. He played for two years with
the Greenville team and was then
sold to Petersburg. rg.-Greenville

Harry Coleman Guilty of Murder.

Union, Sept. 25.-The jury in the
case of Harry Coleman, accused OF
killing his aged father, Robert Cole
man. in January of this year, after
being out since o'clock tonight, rem
dered verdict of guilty with recon-
mendation to mercy at 1880 o'clock.
He will be sentenced tomorrow. This
is the third time he has been tried
for his life for the murder of his
father.
In January of this year Robert
Coleman, a prominent farmer OF
Jonesville, while sitting in front of
his fire in the dusk of winter even
ing. was shot in the head with load
from a shotgun by some one conceal
ed beneath bush by the side of the
window. The aged man fell to the
floor, dying withing a few hours
Certain suspicious circumstances lead
to the arrest of Harry Coleman, his
27-year-old son. The state stressed
two points. That Harry Coleman
killed his father because he objected
to his illicit relations witha negro
woman, and because he desired to OBJ
tain his fathers estate to continue
his dissolute habits.
Harry Coleman protested his inno-
cence throughout the three trials.

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.
Five Sing Sing Desperadoes Halted
by Guards.

Ossining. y. y, Sept. 29.-Five
conyicts at Sing Sing prison at work
unloading a coal barge overpowered
a guard this afternoon, jumped into
the Hudson and attempted to swim to
the other side. The shots of other
guards halted them, however, and all
FIVE were recaptured. Billy Green, no.
torious convict, was leader of the
band.
Green, who escaped two years ago
and was caught in California, hest
tated moment after the shots were
fired but continued toward the op-
posite shore when he saw the guards
busy attending to his companions,
Frederick Del Barri, Joseph White,
Matthew Loofice and Louis Price.
Two guards in a small boat overlook
him before he reached land, however,
and he was captured without strug-
gle.
The convicts on the barge were in
charge of Keeper William Gormley.
The five sprang upon him and
knocked him down. Armed men in
the sentry boxes on the prison wall
overlooking the Hudson peppered the
water on all sides of the swimming
convicts with bullets but took care
not to hit any Of the men.

Lights up Homes 76 Miles Away.

Tyrone, Okla. Sept. 23.-This
little town, just over the Kansas bor-
der in the northwestern panhandle of
Oklahoma, bids defiance to the STAN
dard Oil Co., when John D. Rookie
feller raises the price of kerosene to
meet the costs of court fine. Here
the women wash and wipe the supper
dishes with electricity, though there
is not an electric light plant within
forty miles Of the village.
From Z to 9 o'clock each evening
the dozen homes, of Tyrone are light
ed by the great headlight of Rock
Island passenger train, and the story
of a travelling mans discontinue and
the 50 it cost him for cigars for the
men of the town explains the dis
tinction held by this panhandle me-
tropolis.
J. P. Bancroft, representing Kan
sas City house, had been sent down
here to establish new customer. He
had finished his work and intended
to take a night train back to Liber-
al. With half dozen men Bancroft
sat in the hotel balcony playing cards.
He looked down the track and saw
a great headlight looming up. He
made rush for his grips and yelled
for the boy to take them over to the
depot quick. Bancroft rushed up to
the ticket window and demanded a
ticket for Liberal.
"Hows this" he said to the agent,
Il thought this train wasn't due for
an hour, and here she is not mile
away?"
Mister" the agent replied, you
had better go back to the hotel and
buy cigars for that bunch. l guess
this is your first trip down here.
That headlight is just 40 miles away:
you've got nearly an hour to finish
that game of pinochle.
This is the longest stretch Of
straight track in the United States
seventy-six miles clear across the pan
handle without a curve. You see
that house over there? That's where
| live. l don't have to light up until
after 9 o'clock winter nights. About
twilight the Golden State limited
looms up down about TeXhoma, and
she shines into my kitchen window
for an hour, finally getting so bright
that my wife has to pull the curtain,
and ten minutes behind her comes "a,
and it takes her seventy minutes to
get by with her light.
Its a great saving for me, and
my wife now won't wash dishes by
anything but electric light. I never
have to call the dispatcher to get the
time on trains. I climb to the roof
of the station, get a line on the
headlight and make up my board ac-
cordingly"

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during

while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, | would have severe pains

The doctor was called in, and his treat

soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good:
had gotten so weak l could not stand,
and gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and COM
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, could tell it was helping me. |

Cardui, the Woman's tonic. lthas helped
more than a million women, in its 30
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has

CHESTER YOUTHS IN CUSTODY.
Charged With Part in Parr Shoals
Robbery.

Chester, Sept. 25.-John Frazer,
Jr.. and Bissell Bingham, young men
in the 20, were arrested to-day by
Detectives Adams and Baughm OF
the ". J. Burns detective agen-
cy of Atlanta, Ca, on warrants charg-
ing them with being implicated in the
Parr Shoals robbery a few weeks
ago when officers of the J. G. White
Construction company were held up
al the point of a pistol and $4,000
stolen.
The arrest of these young men,
both of whom are members of two
of this county's we'll known families,
created one of the biggest sensations
ever experienced on the streets of
Chester.
Mr.. Bigham was on his way to Lam
do on some business and he was taken
from his wagon and arrested, while
Mr.. Frazer, the son of one of the
citv's wealthiest men, was called out
of his fathers stable. They were both
carried to Winnsbore in automobiles.
Both denied their guilt, but quietly
surrendered Deputy Sheriff Binde-
man assisted the detectives in max
ing the arrest.
While only the names of two of
the detectives are known, it is said
that there have been at least half a
dozen working in this city for the
past fortnight.
Room 35 at the Carolina inn, the
detectives headquarters, had begun
to create little talk, owing to a
number Of Chester's citizens being
taken there for conferences. This
afternoon it was learned from some
of the men that had been in the room
that they had been pumped with all
kinds of questions about citizens of
Chester.
Both youths are orderly and law
abiding and public opinion in Chester
seems to incline to the belief that
the young men are victims of blum
der on the part of the detectives.

Smith Champion
Of New Order.

Mr.. Bryan, after a recent talk with

paper a scathing attack on the seniority

and Gore have ardently championed the
proposed new order of things.
1t is an open secret that Mr.. Bryan
is bitterly hostile to Senator Martin, OF
Virginia, as senate leader, and to Sena-

under the seniority rule, unquestiona
bly, would become chairman of the great
committee on finance in the new con-
gress.
If the senate therefore, is reorgan-

are backing Mr. Bryan in this, and that
they will say as much to President
