Mondays Daily.)

With but few dissenting votes, the
county court this morning purchased
the Culleoka and Columbia and the
Columbia and Sowell Mill turnpikes.
The former was purchased for $4,000
and the latter was bought for $4,000.
The gates on both of the pixies will
be opened Just as soon as the formal
transfers are made. There were two
votes against the purchase of the Cul-
leoka pike and four opposed to buying
the Sowell Mill pike.
The Culleoka pike has the distinc-
tion of being the first to be purchas-
ed under the policy of the county
court outlined in its resolution of July
IL to purchase the pixies. The pur-
chase of these two toll roads is TAX

After attempting to kill his wife by
slashing her with knife and infiict-
ing severe wound on her hand,
shortly after 6 o'clock Monday after
noon, Joe Phrailkill, painter, tried
to take his own life by stabbing him
self three times over the heart with
a penknife. The injured man was
taken to the city hospital, where he
lies in critical condition, little hope
being held out for his recovery. After
being wounded Mrs. Phrailkill ran to
a nearby infirmary, where she was
given medical attention.
Neighbors of the Phrailkill family

R. F. Moore & Son, one Of the lead
ing mule firms of the South are max
ing plans for the extension Of their
mule barn on East Seventh street by
the erection of an addition of 44x150

This new addition will be cut into
three large mule pens with racks
troughs running the full length Of the
pens and will accommodate about
$50 more mules, making the firms to-

of about 200 mules and will enable
them to feed about five hundred head

pike committee. The report was an
exhaustive one, covering in detail the
proceedings of the committee from
the time of its appointment.
The. report recommended that the
Rainey-Looney propositions be re-
jected but that the Sowell Mill and
Culleoka pixies be- purchased. The
former pike was recommended at
$4,000, but to this suggestion Sena.
tor Church, member Of the committee,
did not agree. The purchase of the
Culleoka pike at $4,000 was urged.
Senator Church spoke to the re-
port advocating the buying of the Cul.
leoka pike, but entered into a long
discussion Of the entire pike question,
severely criticising the condition of
several of the pixies of the county. He
was several times interrupted with
applause.
Chairman Webster urged the buy.

ashamed Of the toll gates in the coun-
ty. They are relics, he said, of the
dark ages.
On motion of Justice Taylor the re-

reference to the Culleoka and Colum-

AT II o'clock last night the armed
mob overpowered Warden Smith, GOV.
ering him with pistols. Other men
went to the house Of ]. M. Burke. SUI
perintendent of the prison, and held
him under their guns. AS on a night
in which fellow convict tried to kill
Frank, there was but two men ON
guard in the prison. The mob rushed
the gates and brought these men to
terms. They took the prisoner and
carried him to automobiles that were
halted a short distance away. All the
mob piled in, and the distance to Ma
rietta was quickly covered He was
then strung up. The mob worked
with quiet and deadly precision.
Scarcely word was spoken except
those of command.
The governor stated that as soon as
ne was notified by the sheriff of Bald
win county, and asked for aid, he
would dispatch militia to the scene as
quickly as possible to assist in the ar
rest of the offenders.
Frank was discharged only yester-
day from the hospital where he had
completed his recovery from the
wound that had been inflicted in his
neck by J. William Green, another
life time server Franks sentence
had previously on the eve of his exc
cution for the murder of the factory
girl, been commuted by ex-Gov. Slay-
ton to life Imprisonment. An angy

ALDERMAN PARKIR
NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR A REELECTION
HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THE USE
OF HB NAME ON EITHER
TICKET.
ISSUES A SIGNED STATEMENT
Interest in the Coming Contest In
creases and Both Sides Are Already
Making claims-FinanciaI Affairs
Of City to Be Only Issue.

Alderman Parker is not and will not
be a candidate for reelection That
fact is plain and unmistakable. All
doubt was removed this morning
when Mr. Parker issued the following
signed statement:
ITO the citizens of Columbia:
Il desire to state that / have not
authorized the use of my name as
candidate for alderman from the Sec
ond ward. l have served the city in
that capacity for four years and will
not be candidate for reelection.
If elected will not serve.
&c. A. PARKER.
This should set the matter at rest.
First Mr.. Parker was announced as
a candidate for reelection on the Ded-
man ticket and he then declared that
he had not authorized the use of his
name and would not seek reelection.
But on Saturday the opposition again
used his name as a candidate on that
ticket.
The fact that both sides have tried
in every way to get Alderman Parker
on the ticket is proof positive of his
popularity in the city and his qualifi-
cations as an alderman. Mr.. Parker
stated that he was not insensible to
the implied compliment but he felt
that he had done his duty to the city
by serving as alderman for four years
and would not allow his candidacy to
be presented to the people. There is
no more popular citizen than Mr.. Par.
ker and we're he a candidate his cleo
ton would be practically assured.
With the announcement OF the op-
position ticket headed by Judge Sal
mon interest in the municipal cam
paign has increased anu 1t is now one
Of the principal topics of converse
ton and discussion. Both sides pro-
fess absolute confidence in the result
The Dedman followers seem to be
sanguine while the opposition is al
ready talking how much they will beat
the incumbent. That it will be an in
teresting race is admitted by all in
telligent observers who are not blind
ed by partisanship.
Just who will take the place Of Al
derman Parker on the two tickets has
not been revealed.
II is certain that financial affairs
Of the city will be the issue, the only
issue Of the campaign. The opposi-
ton will demand greater economy
and no more bond issues. The admin
istration will stand pat upon its re-
cord and while admitting the necessi-
ty for increased taxes and the in
crease in the bonded debt will point
to its achievements as full justifica.
