AFTER RIVER PIRATES.
Posse Organized to Exterminate the
Wholesale Freebooters.

Martinez, Cal.-River pirates. whose
depredations in the Carquinez straits
and the tide lands Of the San Joaquin
valley have caused farmers a loss of
many thousands of dollars. are to be
exterminated. it was learned here
With the cooperation of the federal
authorities Sheriff R. r. Veale of Con.
ira Costa county has organized a pick
ed posse to wage war on the inland
freebooters.
The chief source of revenue of the
pirates is the merchandise produce
piled along river levees awaiting ship
ment. The method of the gangs is to
moor a scow at night in midchannel
and row to the wharves. from which
the produce is removed and brought to
the bay cities and sold. The delta Sec
ton has been rich field for the gangs.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-07-18

T. d. SMITH (ToP) AND COLE L. B1EAsE
(BELOw.)
inaugurated by Senator Tillman to
eliminate the negro vote. No negro
may vote unless he voted for Wade
Hampton and the overthrow of the
carpet bag rule and negro domination
In 1876. Thus each negro voter must
have been twenty-one years old in
1876 or fifty-nine years old today.
Blease in this election is not oppos-
ed by Smith alone. Two of the most
prominent and successful farmers in
the state have entered the campaign,
and the governor is forced to face
the rapid fire arguments from three
bitter opponents. L. D. Jennings,
planter and politician, mayor of Sum-
ter, S. c., and arch enemy Of Blease-
ism is aiding Smith in making the
fight to overthrow Blease. w. P. Pol
lack Of Cheraw is also a candidate.
In the various meetings that have
been held Blease has continued his
practice Of appealing to the race preju-
wv VI CAS 4ShOAduL anu LII Spe0Cu
in this city promised If sent to the
senate to have all negro government
employees discharged and their places
filed by "Bleaseites." When his par
don record was attacked he answered
that his friends demanded no explana-
ton from him, and his enemies could
not force him to explain. During the
three years and six months that he
has been governor Blease has pardon
ed and paroled over 1900 convicts,
and prisons are now almost depleted.
When the governor announced bis in
tention Of seeking senatorial toga
many of his satellites and camp fol-
lowers sought his place in the COVER
nor's mansion. As result in this
contest there has been split in the
ranks Of the Blease supporters. No
fewer than twelve men are running.
Perhaps the most unique is John G..
Clinckscales Of this city, for many
years professor at Wofford college
and one of the best known educators
in the state and bitter enemy of Blease.
Mr.. Clinckscales has made his race on
a platform that smbodies compulsory
education.

Gas Proves Deadly to Flies.

Independence, Kan. "A gas leak
alongside the curb in front of a Main

en- the city a hint at fly swatting that
may prove of immense value. Along
this leak, which extends about forty
feet, is layer of bluebottle flies from
two to three inches deep and three

TREES CAUSE FRATRICIDE,
Forty Year Quarrel Of Brothers Ends
Fatally.


Fatally. .
North Reading. Mass.-A forty wear
quarrel over timberland came to
climax here when Charles Samuel Har-
riS. farmer, was shot and instantly
killed by his brother, James, who gave
himself up to the police. He said his
brother had attacked him with an ak
during an argument about cutting the
timber on their land and that he shot
in self defense.
According to the statement of James
Harris to the police, the brothers,
though they had lived together forty
years. always had been at odds over
the disposition of the timber. Charles
went to the lot and felled several small
trees. When he returned to the house
James met him In the kitchen, and
the ancient quarrel was renewed.

No account Of the career and
achievements of Rev. W. A. Sunday
would be complete or accurate unless
it made full recognition Of the part
Mrs. Sunday has had In both. So
nearly coincidental are the Christian
ministry and the married life of Mr..
Sunday that a separation of the two
is almost impossible. 1t Is doubtful
If either Of the couple realize the
amount the other has contributed to
the cce Of the work.
Mr.. Sunday was married about a
year after his conversion, but before
he began actual evangelical work.
Mrs. Sunday, therefore, began married
life as the wife of a baseball player.
This involved a certain amount OF
travel and q variety of associations
vastly different from those which
were to become her everyday expe
rience.
To the thousands and thousands
who have set beneath the spell of Mr..
Sundays voice, Mrs. Sunday is affec-
ltionately known as MA" Nothing
could be more effective and at the
same time a finer compliment to the
woman than the manner In which MI
Sunday is wont to introduce her to his
audience. After he has presented the
assistants, and the choir leader, and
the soloists, and the instrumentalist,
he will usually end by that terse
phrase 'and this is Ma"
It means everything to the evangel
fist. In public and In private he is
generous in his acknowledgment Of
the important part she plays in ell
his work. Essentially she Is his bust
mess manager. practically she is the
buffer which comes between the
preacher and the. thousand and one
little trials Of life which do 30 much
ito disturb the even tenor Of existence.
