Archbishop Evans PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER DOESN'T LIKE THE FRAUD HE WILL KEEP H Wouldn't Show His Books—No Him Now—Claims Su (Special to The PLANET.) Mr. Editor: I see you have taken the precaution to republish in your columns before the Negro race, a copy of the righteousness of the acts of the Anglo-Saxon editors of the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Washington Post of July 17th and 18th, 1807, pretending to be giving the public facts to justify the acts of the Postal authorities in issuing a fraud order against the Holy United Royal Trust Company and myself as its chief promoter. Their righteousness is like the righteousness of Scribes and the Pharisees, it is too little to enter them into the Kingdom of Heaven. See Matthew 5th chapter, 20th verse. AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES. These Anglo-Saxon authorities would like to rule both in Heaven and on earth, but they shall not. Now doubledless, Mr. Editor, you and the Negro race would like to know the plain truth of this whole matter, and its my duty and my delight to give you and the Negro race the will to do and the will to judge will do and then you can judge who is righteous me and the Royal Trust Company Syndicate or the Postal Authorities, which. AWOKE THE NEGRO RACE. First. The facts are these: In your paper appeared copies of my propositions to the Negro race last fall concerning the Royal Trust Company Syndicate, it also appeared in several Negro journals and magazines all over America until the same awake the whole Negro race and as soon as the letters began to come to me from them from all parts of America, certain men employed in the work papers began to be come alarmed at the Royal Trust Company movement and the first they did was to refuse to give me the mail addressed to the Royal Trust Company. WOULDN'T GIVE INFORMATION After this they began to rip open my mall to see what was in it, representatives of white papers came to me daily trying to find out the secrets but God had given me the mysteries of the plan and I determined to keep them hidden from the enemies of the race, so I turned them away void of the information they sought and the letters kept pouring in until they began to inquire of certain Negro leaders and preachers about this company, as I would not give them the particulars of course this class of men began to encourage a movement to stop the Royal Trust Movement because they saw that it was a success. Why were they so so successful? They then began to try to get out of me particulars and secrets of the great plan in another way, they demanded that I give them copies of the literature and bonds we were issuing to the Negro people. WANTED HIM TO COME This we did do, and after they read them over, then the post inspector F. A. O'Brien sent me word to come to see him. I did not go but wrote him asking him what he wanted with me. He made no reply but ordered my mail kept back and the letters kept pouring in until they finally decided to come to see me. When they came I was out and they left word, if I did not call in person at the post-office they would not give up the mail they had held back. Why were they so alarmed in this Negro movement. However, I came soon as I came to call they. Why did you call to see the Inspector." "Yes" I said , and he refused to inform me by letter what he wanted." Then said the Superintendent to me "He does not want to write to you he wants to talk to you personally." MAIL GIVEN HIM. The Superintendent then gave me the mail they had kept back and said to me that if I did not go to see the Inspector they would not give me any more mail. Why were they so alarmed about this matter, can you tell? However, I went to see the Inspector and he informed me that a question had arose about the sincerity of the Royal Trust Company, that I was founder of, but he refused to tell me from what source the question had arisen. Why ver they so interested in these things? ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS. But he wanted that I should answer 'certain questions in writing concerning it such as he would ask in writing, that he would be able to inform properly higher authority. This I agreed to do, and I did do it. I have now a complete copy of the questions and the answers and I have a copy of his reply to me, all of which I am going to spread before the Negro race, in print and now after that I had answered these questions on the 12th day of February, 1907. I heard no more from until June 1907, but the same inspector, O'Brien, came to my office in company with the super-intendent demanding my books in my absence. WOULDN'T BRING THE BOOKS. They were refused him but he left word that when I came to call at his office and bring my books. The next day at 11 A. M. with a committee of three I called at his office, but carried no books with me and I demanded what he wanted to know of me and my books. He replied he wanted to examine them to see how we were doing business. I said to him "I will not give you my books, the business I am doing is not a public business, and it is not the government's business, and I will not allow you nor the government to dictate to me in the affairs that God has committed to my charge and keeping for I am not a servant of flesh and blood nor of the government of America, neither will I allow you or the government to be judge over me in my matter. This of course made them angry. WOULD HEAR FROM WASHINGTON. Then said he "If you won't give me the information I call for we will have no further talk with you, you will probably hear from the authority at Washington, D. C." I said I cared not for the authority nor anybody else, I am doing as I please in the matter for the good of my people. I will not yield to anything but God in any consideration, without any further evidence of fraud, they proceeded to make up a fraud issue against me and the Royal Trust Company. CLASSED AS A FRAUD. On the 27th of June they sent me a copy of a letter from Washington, D. C. signed by P. V. Keyser, recommending that I was conducting a scheme of making money through malls by means of false pretense and that I should show cause why there should not be a fraudulent order issued against me. This information was sent to me by R. P. Goodwin, Ass't Attorney General, Washing-­ ist, I attorney I could reply, but my reply must be in writing, and gave me a chance to say just what God wanted me to say to them and to tell them just what God wanted me to tell them. WILL MAKE A REPLY I have a complete copy of my reply preparing it to be distributed in printed form all through the Negro race, for a testimony against all who have sought to defeat me in the thing that God has sent me to do for the Negro people, and all who will get a copy of it, will see that the tribes have not told the people the truth is his and he have the Editors of the Anglo-Saxon papers told or published the truth concerning the same. WILL CALL A MEETING And in October or November, 1907 if God wills I am going to call a convention of my friends of the Negro race together in Philadelphia or New York and tell them face to face what I want them to know and do, and I say to all who are stockholders in the Royal Trust Company that I am prepared to carry out my undertaking regardless of anything anybody has done or shall do. I have made up my mind to do so at the cost of my life, I shall fear no evil for God is with me in this fight and those who are determined to send money to me, can send by express or by hand and I will soon show this nation that it is nobody's RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1907 business what we Negro people do with our money, and show them that God is just and all them that fight against me, shall know that God and I are one in this work, and we will have our way in this Negro race business at any cost. BREATHES DEFIANCE I mean what I say, before I will take back anything I have said I will add on more. I am the only living man that can show the Negro people what God wants them to do. Now, Mr. Editor, I am glad you published the stuff that appeared in the Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer, and whether you meant good towards me or not, in doing so it will prove good. If you finally publish the above matter for the good of you, you are the other. I am in this fight to win, not to lose, and I will win at the expense of my enemy both great and small. CLAIMS SUPERNATURAL POWER Mark my word, Mr. Editor, I will tell you again, what I told you before that God Almighty has talked with me personally concerning the Negro race and the race had better believe what I tell them, for there is a dark time ahead of them if they fail to hear God's messenger, I am the man, and besides me there is no other that can do them the good they need and I am going to keep the secret hid from all those who refuse to become a party with me in the movement, just as Christ Jesus did to those who failed to recognize him in his mission.

SALUDA, VA., July 23—Special—Richard Walden was indicted by a special grand jury, charged with attempt to commit rape on R. H. Bayton's wife. On last Saturday R. H. Bayton, was busy at his store, which is about one eighth of a mile from his residence. This man, Walden entered the house through the front door seized Mrs. Bayton, threw her down, choked her and bruised her badly and tried to drag her in a private room. Mrs. Bayton made an outey and two colored men heard her scream and came to her rescue. Walden is a bad character, yet the white people are trying to shield his crime. He is now in jail. Two years ago he served a year for murder of a white man in Lancaster County. To the surprise of all concerned the State Attorney allowed the case to be continued until September. The attorney for the defense asked for continuation, which the court declined to give and said it would allow them two days to prepare for the defense. By later District Attorney agreed to allow the case to go over until the next term for scarcely any reasonable ground. In the case of Sim Bagby who was charged with attempt on a white woman a few months ago, the Judge was notified and he came here and held a special court, tried and convicted him to be hanged in one day with very slight evidence. He Closed the Church. DRASTIC ACTION OF A JUDGE—THE HARRISON ST. BAPTIST CHURCH TROUBLE. Disgraceful Scenes in Peterburg—Only Male Members to be Allowed to Vote. PETERSBURG, VA., Aug. 2. (Special)—judge Mullen, of the Hustings Court, to-day took very positive action in the matter of the Harrison Street (colored) Baptist Church. After being informed of the violent proceedings at the church meeting last night, at which the orders of the court had been apparently ignored and violated by Pastor Tartt, and his followers, the judge ordered a decree closing the church to both factions for all purposes until the meeting set for September 9, when the members are to vote under a special commissioner on the question of sustaining or retaining Tartt as pastor. It was further decreed that the women of the church should be excluded from this meeting. Tartt has been notified that if on investigation it is found he has disobeyed the orders of the court, he will be cited for contempt. Disgraceful scenes were again witnessed in the Harrison Street Baptist Church (colored) last night, and the police had to interfere to prevent violence and perhaps bloodshed. In rendering his decision in the controversy between the two factions in this church, Judge Mullen so modified the injunction against the acting pastor, Eli Tartt, as to allow religious services to be held in the church until the congregation can vote by orderly procedure on the question of sustaining and restraining Tartt. This vote is to be taken at a meeting to be held on September 9th to be presided over by a commissioner of the court, the Rev. Dr. J. M. Pilcher. But the right to hold religious services being allowed by the court, a meeting was held in the church last night ostensibly for "religious services," and a very large crowd was present. Meanwhile, in the afternoon, affidavits were rude by many of the respectable members of the church, and submitted to the police authorities representing "that the 'religious' meeting was held words might be spoken and acts committed that would lead to disorder and rioting, and possible bloodshed. Police protection was asked, and the chief, with nearly the entire corps, repaired to the vicinity of the church to await any call for their presence in the building. It was not long before the "religious" services degenerated into personal references, and then into disorder and confusion, and practical renewal of the factional troubles. Evidently the crowd was on the erge of a general light in the church when the cry of "Fight! fight!" rang out and the police rushed into the building. The congregation was promptly dispersed, but the people crowded the street in front of and near the church, where further scenes of disorder occurred, and it was only through fear of being drenched with water thrown upon them by the fire department that the excited Negroes left the street and went to their homes. It was in anticipation of trouble outside of the church that the fire hose was brought into requisition. The church proceedings last night were practically in contempt of court orders, and the continued quarrels at the church are becoming a menace to the peace and good order of the community. A strong petition from citizens living in the vicinity of the church was this morning presented to Juq. Mullen, praying that the church be closed for all purposes until the troubles are settled, representing that the disgraceful proceedings there are a menace to life and property, if allowed to continue. Gone Before: Mrs. Lucy J. Brown has received a letter from Oakland, California informing her of the death of her brother, Daniel Alexander Nicholas who was buried Sunday July 7th, 1907. Rev. Brown preached the funeral sermon. The floral offerings were numerous and costly. The casket was cloth-covered, being draped with face and lavender. Mrs. Alfred Haynes sent a most touching letter filled with consolation and expressive of the high esteem in which the deceased was held in that community. REV. J. I. BUCHANAN DEAD. Sad News from Africa—His Wife's Letter. We learned with surprise and regret of the death of Rev. J. I. Buchanan, missionary to Africa and located at Middledrift, Cape Colony, South Africa. The following letter from his wife will explain itself. That The PLANET is a welcome visitor there is evident from what she says. Rev. Buchanan visited our office when he was in this country and this letter from his madame is the first notice we have had of his untimely "taking off." Middledrift, S. A., July 4, '07. The Editor of the PLANET, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. 311 N. Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: Your favor came to hand and I am sorry that I never wrote ere this about the death of my beloved husband, for I understand that you have heard nothing about it. Rev. D. E. Murff of Cape Town promised to write you soon after his death and all the time I thought he wrote you. I therefore most humbly beg your permission for it, for I know it was my duty to let you know. He passed away from this land on the 19th day of January, 1907. Writing you this does not mean to stop the paper. I will keep it in his remembrance. Also please find enclosed P. O. Order in payment for the same. Became Demented. Quite a sensation was caused on Third and Jackson Streets last Wednesday afternoon. It seems that Mrs. Emma Yarborough, who resides with her husband at 714½ W. Leigh Street came to visit a friend at the Southwest corner of Third and Jackson Streets, bringing with her the little girl. While there, she gave evidences of insanity, which had been previously noticed before she left home. She had secured $25.00 from her husband and stated that she was going away at 6 o'clock and she wanted the lady to take her little girl. At the hour indicated she became violent, screaming and struggling. It took several people to hold her. One of the men present was badly bitten on the hand by her. Her husband was present and did all he could to subdue her. Finally the police patrol wagon was sent for and two officers had all they could do to hold her in the vehicle on its way to the station at 6th and Marshall Streets. Her friends speak in the highest terms of her and it is win regret that they noted her unfortunate condition. Pulpit Vacant. Belford City, Va., August 6, '07. At a regular business meeting held at the Washington Street Baptist Church July 1, 1907 there came a general dissatisfaction between the pastor, Rev. C. E. Miller and the church, on a contract or promise made by him (Rev. Miller) to the church and deacon board, concerning the moving of his family to his field of labor as the church felt that his work would be more effective and prosperous, both financially and spiritually. He, (Rev. Miller) was called in question time after time about his moving and at each interval he wouldn't give any satisfaction and said we had nothing to do with his moving. After his promise to the church made them believe that he would do what he said. Therefore, at the business meeting in July 1907 a motion prevailed to give him three months to move or the pulpit will be declared vacant. I mean his family, while the above motion was on its passage it was interrupted by Rev. Miller saying that he would ten der his resignation to take effect three months from to-night. By general consent to the above motion, a motion prevailed that we would defer the resignation until the next business meeting in August, '07. In the business meeting in August, 1907 motion prevailed that we accept the resignation of our pastor, Rev. Miller, votes standing 20 for resignation, 7 against. During Rev. Miller's pastorate here we can say that he lived a life above reproach and always seemed to love his work and admired the willingness and firmness of church officials, therefore we hope and trust that the resignation of Rev. Miller may prove beneficial to him and the work he leaves behind. God bless our cause in which we stand. Yours for Christ cause GEO. L. BROWN, Clerk DEA.

WILL ORGANIZE NEW CHURCH-THAT EXPENSIVE LITIGATION-INCORRECTLY OUOTED. The Columns of the "Planet" Open Rev, A. E. Edwards, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church tendered his resignation last Sunday morning to the congregation of that church. He preached a sermon, that was impressive and inspiring to those who had supported him in his long contest with his opposers. Despite the fact that he declared that he would not encourage a split from the church and would not be a party to such a movement there so severe be a well-organized plan to have 250 members withdraw and organize a new church.

One of his supporters who said he would not be a party to such a movement said that he did not believe that Dr. Edwards wanted to be in such a movement, but it was being urged upon him and he did not see how he could resist. The plan is to ask for letters and organize the new body, after which a call will be tendered Rev. Dr. Edwards, for him to say whether or not he will be deemed been estimated that the litigation in the court cost both sides a sum aggregating $1,500. THE DEBT OF THE CHURCH The debt of the church has now reached a sum exceeding $9,000. Under normal conditions and with an united effort, a debt of this size can be readily liquidated by this church. Both sides seem to be conducting themselves in a conservative manner and the disposition is to cause no further ill-feeling. Meetings have been held this week to complete the work of organizing a new church and the option fee on a church-building is said to have been scheduled to be paid last Wednesday. Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D. will not preach his farewell sermon Sunday, August 11, 1907 at 11 A.M. as scheduled. This ends his ministry so far as the pastorate of the Fifth Street Baptist Church is concerned CORRECTIONS NOTED We have received the following explanation from one of the leading representatives of the Edwards' element: "The PLANET in its issue of August 3, 1907 says that numerous conferences were held and many agreements entered into until a formal demand was made that Dr. Edwards leave the church. This statement is incorrect. There never was a conference held or agreement entered into by Dr. Edwards, his Deacon Board or the Church at any time during this trouble until November 1906. DR. EDWARDS' REQUEST "Then Dr. Edwards asked his Board to make the following recommendation to the church: 'Inasmuch as there is some outside talk among the members relative to their dissatisfaction with the pastor, we therefore recommend at his request that the members be notified of said writing to be present and vote whether they are satisfied with him or not.' THE RECOMMENDATION ACCEPT FD. "This recommendation was accepted by the church. Sometimes after this meeting was held and the vote taken: 185 dissatisfied and 268 satisfied. This was the only conference held by Dr. Edwards, his Board or the church during this trouble, and at no time did the Board or church ask or demand that the Doctor leave the Church until July 29, 1907 when it was taken under the judicial authority, the Chancery Court of this city, which vote required the resignation of the Rev Doctor. INCORRECTLY QUOTED He is also quoted in the same issue as saying that he had never split a church and God helping he never would. This is correct, but he did not say that he would not pastor a split church. This is incorrect, but to the contrary he did say that if those who went out should call him as pastor that would be another question altogether. Dr. Edwards is an orthodox Baptist preacher and will not depart from the orthodoxy of his church." We have to state that if the anti-Edwards' elements desire to make any corrections, The PLANET is at their disposal. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Bapt. Trouble. HURCH—THAT EXPENSIVE RECTLY QUOTED. The Empire.

FAMILY THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CANDLES BY MEREDITH NICHOLSON AUTHOR OF THE MAIN CANDLES 2020 DOWNLOAD Hates did not refer to his encounter with the caretaker, and I resolved to keep my knowledge of it to myself. I always prefer to let a rascal hang himself, and here was a case, I reasoned, where, if Bates was disloyal to the duties Pickerling had imposed upon him, the fact of his perfidy was bound to disclose itself eventually. Glancing around at him when he was off guard I surprised a look of utter dejection upon his face as he stood with folded arms behind my chair. He flushed and started, then put his hand to his forehead, where a strip of plaster covered his wound. "I met with a slight accident this morning, Mr. Glenarm. The hickory's very tough, sir. A piece of wood flow up and struck me." "Too bad!" I said with sympathy. "You'd better roast a bit this afternoon." "Thank you, sir; but it's only a small matter—only, you might think the cut a trifle disfurious." He struck a match for my cigarette, and I left without looking at him again. But as I crossed the threshold of the library I formulated this note: "Bates is a bar, for one thing, and a person with active enemies for another; watch him." All things considered the day was passing well enough. I picked up a book, threw myself on a comfortable divan to smoke and reflect before continuing my explorations. As I lay there, Bates brought me a telegram, a reply to my message to Pickering. It read: "Yours announcing arrival received and filed." It was certainly a queer business, my errand to Glenarm. I lay for a couple of hours dreaming, and counted the candles in the great crystal chandelier until my eyes ached. Then I took my cap and was soon tramping toward the lake. There were several small boats and a naphtha launch in the boat-house. I dropped a canoe into the water and paddled off toward the summer colony, whose gables and red roofs were plainly visible from the boat-house. I landed and roamed idly over leaf-strewn walks past nearly a hundred cottages, to whose windows and verandas the winter blinds gave a dreary and inhospitable air. There was, at one point, a casino, whose broad veranda hung over the edge of the lake, while beneath, on the water-side, was a boat-house. I walked back to the wharf, where I had left my canoe, and was about to step into it when I saw, rocking at a similar landing place near by, another slight craft of the same type as my own, but painted dark maroon. I was sure the canoe had not been there when I landed. Possibly it belonged to Morgan, the caretaker! I walked over and examined it. I even lifted it slightly to test its weight. The pad lay on the dock beside me and it too, weighed critically, deciding that it was a trifle light for my own taste. "Please—if you don't mind—" I turned to stand face to face with the girl in the red tam-o-shanter. Turned to Stand Face to Face With the Girl of the Red Tom-O'Shanter. "I beg your pardon," I said, stepping away from the canoe. She did not wear the covert coat of the morning, but a red knit jacket, buttoned tight about her. She was young with every emphasis of youth. A pair of dark blue eyes examined me with good-humored curiosity. She was on good terms with the sun—rejoiced in the brown of her cheeks, so eloquent of companionship with the outdoor world—a certificate indeed of the favor of Heaven. Show me, in October, a girl with a face of tan, whose hands have piled a paddle or driven a golf球 or cast a fly beneath the blue arches of summer, and I will suffer her scorn in joy. She may vote me dull and refute my wisest word with laughter, for hers are the privileges of the sisterhood of Diana; and that soft bronze, those daring fugitive freckles beneath her eyes, link her to times when Ian whistled upon his reed and all the days were long. Her rubber-soled outing shoes had made possible her silent approach, and she enjoyed. I was sure, my discomfiture at being taken unawares. I had snatched off my cap and stood waiting beside the canoe, feeling. I must admit, a trifle guilty at being caught in the unwarrantable inspection of another person's property—particularly a person so wholly pleasing to the eye. "I believe—I believe that is my paddle," she said, a little timidly I thought, and yet with definieness. I looked down and found to my annoyance that I held her paddle in my hand—was in fact leaning upon it with a cool air of proprietorship. "Again, I beg your pardon." I said. "I hadn't expected—" She eyed me calmly, with the stare of the child that arrives at a drawing room door by mistake and scrutinizes the guests without awe. I didn't know what I had expected or had not expected, and she manifested no intention of helping me to explain. Her short skirt suggested 15 or 16—not more—and such being the case there was no reason why I should not be master of the situation. As I fumbled my pipe the hot coals of tobacco burned my hand and I cast the thing from me. She laughed a little, then caught herself and gravely watched the pipe bound from the dock into the water. "Too bad!" she said, her eyes upon it; "but if you hurry you may get it before it floats away." "Thank you for the suggestion." I said. But I did not relish the idea of kneeling on the dock to fish for a pipe before a strange school girl who was, I felt sure, anxious to laugh at me. She took a step toward the line by which her boat was fastened. "Allow me." "If you think you can—safely," she said; and the laughter that lurked in her eyes annoyed me. "The feminine knot is designed for the confusion of man." I observed, twitching vainly at the rope, which was tied securely in unfamiliar loops. She was singularly unresponsive. The thought that she was probably laughing at my olmnisme did not make my fingers more nimble. "The nautical instructor at St. Agatha's is undoubtedly a woman. This knot must come in the post-graduate course. But my gallantry is equal. I trust, to your patience." The mald in the red tam-o-shanter continued silent. The wet rope was obdurate, the knot more and more hopeless, and my efforts to make light of the situation awakened no response in the girl. I tugged away at the rope, attacking its tangle on various theories. "A case for surgery, I'm afraid. A truly gordian knot, but I haven't my knife." "Oh, but you wouldn't!" she exclaimed. "I think I can manage." She bent down—I was aware that the sleeve of her jacket brushed my shoulder—seized an end that I had ignored, gave it a sharp tug with a slim, brown hand and pulled the knot free. "There!" she exclaimed with a little laugh; "I might have saved you all the bother." "How dull of me! But I didn't have the combination," I said, steadying the canoe carefully to mitigate the ignominy of my failure. She scorned the hand I extended, but embarked with light, confident step and took the paddle. It was growing late. The shadows in the wood were deepening; a chill crept over the water, and, beyond the tower of the chapel, the sky was bright with the glory of sunset. With a few skillful strokes she brought her little craft beside my pipe, which she deftly caught on the paddle blade and tossed to the wharf. "Perhaps you can pipe a tune upon it," she said, dipping the paddle. "You put me under great obligations." I declared. "Are all the girls at St. Agatha's as amiable?" "I shouldn't say so! I'm a great exception—and—I really shouldn't be talking to you at all! It's against the rules! And we don't encourage smoking." "The chaplain doesn't smoke, I suppose." "Not in chapel; I believe it isn't done! And we rarely see him anywhere else." She had idled with the paddle so far, but now she lifted her eyes and drew back the blade for a long stroke. "But in the wood—this morning—by the wall!" I hate myself to this day for having so startled her. The poised blade dropped into the water with a splash; she brought the canoe a trifle nearer to the wharf with an almost imperceptible stroke, and turned toward me with wonder and dismay in her eyes. "So you are an eavedropper and detective, are you? I beg that you will give your master my compliments! I really owe you an apology; I thought you were a gentleman," she exclaimed with withering emphasis, and dipped her blade deep in flight. I called, stammering incoherently, after her, but her light argos skimmed the water steadily. The paddle rose and fell with trained precision, making scarcely a ripple as she stole softly away toward the ferry towers of the sunset. I stood looking after her, gouged with self-contempt. A glory of purple and scarlet and gold filled the weet. Suddenly the wind moaned in the wood behind the line of cottages, swept over me and rippled the surface of the lake. I watched its flight until it caught her canoe and I marked the lushy craft's quick response, as the shaken waters bore her alert figure upward on the swell, her blade still maintaining its regular dip, until she disappeared behind a little peninsula that made a harbor near the school grounds. The red tamo-'o-shanter seemed at last to merge in the red sky, and I turned cheerlessly to my canoe. The Man on the Wall I was so thoroughly angry with myself that after idling along the shores for an hour I lost my way in the dark wood when I landed and brought up at the rear door used by Bates for communication with the villagers who supplied us with provender. I readily found my way to the kitchen and to a THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA light of stairs beyond, which connected the first and second floors. I stumbled up the unfamiliar way in the dark, with I fear, a malediction upon my grandfather, who had built and left incomplete a house so utterly prepossorous. My unpardonable fling at the girl still rankled; and I was cold from the quick descent of the night chill on the water and anxious to get into some comfortable clothes. Once on the second floor I was sure of the location of my room, and I was feeling my way toward it over the rough floor when I heard low voices rising apparently from my sitting-room. It was pitch dark in the hall. I stopped short and listened. The door of my room was open and a faint light flashed once into the hall and disappeared. I heard a sound as of a hammer tapping upon wood-work. Then it ceased, and a voice whispered: "He'll kill me if he finds me here. I'll try again to tomorrow. I swear to God I will help you but no more now—" Then the sound of a scuffle and again the tapping of the hammer. After several minutes more of this there was a whispered dialogue which I could not hear. Whatever was occurring two or three points struck me on the instant. One of the conspirators was an unwilling party to an act as yet unknown; second, they had been unsuccessful and must wait for another opportunity; and third, the business, whatever it was, was clearly of some importance to myself, as my own apartments in my grandfather's strange house had been chosen for the investigation. Clearly I was not prepared to close the incident, but the idea of frightening my visitors appealed to my sense of humor. I tipped to the front stairway, ran lightly down, found the front door, and, from the inside, opened and slammed it. I heard instantly a hurried scamper above, and the heavy fall of one who had stumbled in the dark. I grinned with real pleasure at the sound of the mishap, hastened to the great library, which was as dark as a well, and, opening one of the long windows, stepped out on the balcony. At once from the rear of the house came the sound of a stoolly step, which increased to a run at the ravine bridge. I listened to the flight of the fugitive through the wood until the sounds died away toward the lake. Then, turning to the library window, I saw flates, with a candle held above his head, peering about. "Hello, Bates," I called cheerfully, "I just got home and stepped out to sea if the moon had risen. I don't believe I know where to look for it in this country." He began lighting the tapers with his usual deliberation. "It's a trifle early, I think, sir. About eight o'clock. I should say, was the hour, Mr. Glenarm." There was, of course, no doubt whatever that Bates had been one of the men I heard in my room. It was wholly possible that he had been compelled to assist in some lawless act against his will; but why, if he had been forced into aiding a criminal, should he not invoke my own aid to protect himself? I kicked the logs in the fireplace impatiently at my uncertainty. The man slowly lighted the many candles in the great apartment. He was certainly a deep one, and his case grew more puzzling as I studied it in relation to the rifle shot of the night before, his collision with Morgan in the wood, which I had witnessed; and now the house itself had been invaded by some one with his connivance. The rifle shot might have been innocent enough; but taken in connection with these other matters it could hardly be brushed aside. Bates lighted me to the stairway, and said as I passed him: "There's a baked ham for dinner. I should call it extra delicate, Mr. Glennarm. I suppose there's no change in the dinner hour, sir?" "Certainly not," I said with asperity; for I am not a person to inaugurate a dinner hour one day and change it the next. Bates wished to make conversation—the sure sign of a guilty conscience in a servant—and I was not disposed to encourage him. I closed the doors carefully and began a thorough examination of both the sitting-room and the little bed-chamber. I was quite sure that my own effects could not have attracted the two men who had taken advantage of my absence to visit my quarters. Bates had helped unpack my trunk and undoubtedly knew every item of my simple wardrobe. I throw open the doors of my three closets and found them all in the good order established by Bates. He had carried my trunks and bags to a store-room, so that everything I owned must have passed under his eye. My money even, the remnant of my fortune that I had drawn from the New York bank, I had placed carelessly enough in the drawer of a chiffonier otherwise filled with collars. It took but a moment to satisfy myself that this had not been touched. And, to be sure, a hammer was not necessary to open a drawer that had, from its appearance, never been locked. The game was deeper than I had imagined; I had scratched the crust without result, and my wits were busy with speculations as I brushed my clothes, pausing frequently to examine the furniture, even the bricks on the hearth. One thing only I found—the slight scar of a hammer-head on the oak paneling that ran around the bedroom. The wood had been struck near the base and at the top of every panel, for though the mark was not perceptible on all, a test had evidently been made systematically. With this as a beginning, I found a moment later a spot of tallow under a heavy table in one corner. Evidently the furniture had been moved to permit of the closest scrutiny of the paneling. Glenarm House really promised to prove exciting. I took from a drawer a small revolver, filled its chambers with cartridges and thrust it into my hip pocket, whistling meanwhile Larry Donoven's favorite air, "The Marche Funebre de Marionnettes." My heart went out to Larry as I scented adventure, and I wished him with me; but speculations as to Larry's whereabouts were always profitless, and quite he was to fall somewhere. "The ham of whose excellence Bates had hainted was no disappointment. There is, I have always held, nothing better in this world than a properly baked ham, and the specimen Bates placed before me was a delight to the eye,—so adorned was it with spices; so crisply brown its outer coat; and a taste,—that first tentative taste, before the sauce was added,—was like a dream of Lucullus come true. I felt that I could forgive a good deal in a cook with that touch—anything short of arson and assassination! "Bates," I said, as he stood forth where I could see him, "you cook amazingly well. Where did you learn the business?" "I can hardly say I know it, sir. Your lamented grandfather grew very captious, Mr. Glenarm. I had to learn to satisfy him, and I believe I did it, sir, if you'll pardon the conceit." "He didn't die of gout, did he? I can readly imagine it." "No, Mr. Glenarm. It was his heart. He had his warning of it." "Ah, yes; to be sure. The heart or the stomach—one may as well fail as the other. I believe I prefer to keep my digestion going as long as possible. Those grilled sweet potatoes again, if you please, Bates." The game that he and I were playing appealed to me strongly. It was altogether worth while, and as I ate guava jelly with cheese and toasted crackers, and then lighted one of my own cigars over a cup of Bate's unfalling coffee, my spirit was livelier than at any time since a certain evening on which Larry and I had escaped from Tangier with our lives and the curses of the police. The day had offered much material for fireside reflection, and I reviewed its history calmly. There was, however, one incident that I found unpleasant in the retrospect. I had been guilty of most unchivalrous conduct toward one of the girls of St. Agatha's. It had certainly been unbecoming in me to sit on the wall, however unwillingly, and listen to the words—few though they were—that passed between her and the chaplain. I forgot the shot through the window; I forgot Bates and the interest my room possessed for him and his unknown accomplice; but the sudden distrust and contempt I had awakened in the girl by my cloakish behavior annoyed me increasingly. I rose presently, found my cap and sent out into the moon-flooded wood toward the lake. The tangle was not so great when you knew the way, and there was indeed, as I had found, the falat suggestion of a path. The moon glorified a broad highway across the water; the air was sharp and still. I followed the wall of St. Agatha's to the gate, climbed up and sat down in the shadow of the pillar farthest from the lake. I drew out a cigarette and was about to light it when I heard a sound as of a step on stone. There was, I knew, no stone pavement at hand, but peering toward the lake I saw a mas walking boldly along the top of the wall toward me. The moon-light threw his figure into clear relief. Several times he paused, bent down and rapped upon the wall with an object he carried in his hand. Tap, tap, tap! The man with the hammer was examining the farther side of the gate, and very likely he would carry his investigations beyond it. I drew up my legs and crouched in the shadow of the pillar, resolver in hand. I was not anxious to invite an encounter; I much preferred to wait for a disclosure of the purpose that lay behind this mysterious tapping upon walls. But the matter was taken out of my own hands before I had a chance to debate it. The man dropped to the ground sounded the stone base under the gate, likewise the pillars, evidently without results, struck a spiteful crack upon the iron bars, then stood up abruptly and looked me straight in the eyes. It was Morgan, the caretaker of the summer colony. "Good evening, Mr. Morgan," I said, settling the revolver into my hand. There was no doubt about his surprise, he fell back, staring at me hard, and instinctively drawing the hammer over his shoulder as though to fling it at me. "Just stay where you are a moment, Morgan," I said pleasantly, and dropped to a sitting position on the wall for greater ease in talking to him. He stood sullyly, the hammer dangling at arm's length, while my revolver covered his head. "Now, if you please, I'd like to know what you mean by prowling about here and rummaging my house!" "Oh, it's you, is it, Mr. Glenarm? Well, you certainly gave me a bad scare." His air was one of relief and his tooth showed pleasantly through his beard. "It certainly is I. But you haven't answered my question. What were you doing in my house to day?" He smiled again, shaking his head. "You're really fooling. Mr. Glenarm. I wasn't in your house to day; I never was in it in my life!" His white teeth gleamed in his light beard; his hat was pushed back from his forehead so that I saw his eyes and he wore unmistakably the air of a man whose conscience is perfectly clear. I was confident that he lied, but without appealing to Bates I was not prepared to prove it. "But you can't deny that you're on my grounds now, can you?" I had dropped the revolver to my knee, but I raised it again. "Certainly not, Mr. Glenarm. If you'll allow me to explain—" "That's precisely what I want you to do." "Well, it may seem strange,"—he laughed, and I felt the least bit foolish to be pointing a pistol at the head of a fellow of so amiable a spirit. "Well, as I was saying, it may seem strange; but I was just examining the wall to determine the character of the work. One of the cottagers on the lake left me with the job of building a fence on his place, and I've been expecting to come over to look at this all fall. You see, Mr. Glenarm, your honored grandfather, was a master in such matters, and I didn't see any harm in getting the benoit—to put it so—of his experience." I laughed. He had denied having entered the house with so much assurance that I had been prepared for some really plausible explanation of his interest in the wall. "Morgan—you said it was Morgan, didn't you?—you are undoubtedly a secondral of the first water." "Men have been killed for saying less," he said. "And for doing less than fire through windows at a man's head. It wasn't friendly of you." "I don't see why you center all your suspicions on me. You exaggerate my importance, Mr. Glenarm. I'm only the man-of-all-work at a summer resort." "I wouldn't believe you, Morgan, if you swore on a stack of Bibles as high as this wall." "Thanks!" he ejaculated mockingly. Like a flash he swung the hammer Like a Flash He Flung the Hammer Over His Head and Drove It at Me. Like a Flash He Flung the Hammer Over His Head and Drove it at Me. over his head and drove it at me, and at the same moment I fired. The hammer-head struck the pillar near the outer edge and in such a manner that the handle flew around and smote me smartly in the face. By the time I reached the ground the man was already running rapidly through the park, darting in and out among the trees, and I made after him at hot speed. The hammer-handle had struck my mouth, and the whole lower half of my face stung from the blow. I abused myself roundly for managing the encounter so stupidly, and in my rage fired twice with no aim whatever after the flying figure of the caretaker. He clearly had the advantage of familiarity with the wood, striking off boldly into the heart of it, and quickly widening the distance between us; I kept on, even after I ceased to hear him threshing through the undergrowth, and came out presently at the margin of the lake about 50 feet from the boat-house. I waited in its shadow for some time, expecting to see the fellow again, but he did not appear. I found the wall with difficulty and followed it back to the gate. It would be just as well, I thought, to possess myself of the hammer; and I dropped down on the St. Agatha side of the wall and groped about among the leaves until I found it. Then I walked home, went into the library, alight with its many candies just as I had left it, and sat down before the fire to meditate. I had been absent from the house only forty-five minutes. CHAPTER VIII A Strikes of Gold Brace A moment after I had dung myself down before the fire, Bates entered with a fresh supply of wood. I watched him narrowly for some sign of perturbation, but he was not to be caught off guard. Possibly he had not heard the shots in the wood; at any rate, he tended the fire with his usual gravity, and after brushing the hearth paused respectfully. "Is there anything further, sir?" "I believe not, Bates. Oh! here's a hammer I picked up out in the grounds a bit ago. I wish you'd see if it belongs to the house." He examined the implement with care and shook his head. "It doesn't belong here, I think, sir. But we sometimes find tools left by the carpenters that worked on the house. Shall I put this in the tool chest, sir?" "Never mind. I need such a thing now and then and I'll keep it handy." "Very good, Mr. Glenarm." We were not getting anywhere; the fellow was certainly an incomparable actor. "You must find it pretty lonely here, Bates? Don't hesitate to go to the village when you like." "I thank you, Mr. Glenarm; but I am not much for idling. I keep a few books by me for the evenings. Annandale is not what you would exactly call a diverting village." "I fancy not. But the caretaker over at the summer resort has even a loner time, I suppose. That's what I'd call a pretty cheerless job,—watching summer cottages in the winter." "That's Morgan, sir. I meet him occasionally when I go to the village; he's a very worthy person, I should call him, on slight acquaintance." "No doubt of it. Bates. Any time through the winter you want to have him in for a social glass, it's all right with me." When I plunged into the wood in the middle of the next afternoon it was with the definite purpose of returning to the upper end of the lake for an interview with Morgan, who had, so Rates informed me, a small house back of the cottages. I took the canoe I had chosen for my own use from the boat-house and padded up the lake. The air was still warm, but the wind that blew out of the south tasted of rain. I scanned the water and the borders of the lake for signs of life,—more particularly, I may as well admit, for a certain maenon canoe and a girl in a red tam-o-shanter; but lake and summer cottages were mine alone. I landed and began at once my search for Morgan. There were many paths through the woods back of the cottages, and I fol- lowed several futilely before I at last found a small house snugly hid away in a thicket of young maples. The man I was looking for came to the door quickly in response to my knock. "Good afternoon, Morgan." "Good afternoon, Mr. Glenarm," he said, taking his pipe from his mouth the better to grin at me. He showed no sign of surprise, and I was nettled by his cool reception. There was, I felt, a certain element of recklessness in my visit to the house of a man who had shown so singular an interest in my affairs, and his cool greeting vexed me. "Morgan—" I began. "Won't you come in and rest yourself, Mr. Glenarm?" he interrupted. "I reckon you're tired from your trip over—" "Thank you, no," I snapped. "Suit yourself, Mr. Glenarm." He seemed to like my name and gave it a disagreeable drawing emphasis. "Morgan, you are an infernal black-guard. You have tried twice to kill me—" "We'll call it that, if you like,"—and he grinned. "But you'd better cut off one for this." He lifted the gray fedora hat from his head, and poked his finger through a hole in the top. "You're a pretty fair shot, Mr. Glen-arm. The fact about me is,"—and he winked—"the honest truth is, I'm all out of practice. Why, sir, when I saw you paddling out on the lake this afternoon I sighted you from the casino half a dozen times with my gun, but I was afraid to risk it." He seemed to be shaken with inner mirth. "If I'd missed, I wasn't sure you'd be scared to death!" For a novel diversion I heartily recommend a meeting with the assassin who has, only a few days or hours before, tried to murder you. I know of nothing in the way of social adventure that is quite equal to it. "Morgan, I hope you understand that I am not responsible for any injury my grandfather may have inflicted on you. I hadn't seen him for several years before he died. I was never at Glenarm before in my life, so it's a little rough for you to visit your displeasure on me." He smiled tolerantly as I spoke. I know—and he knew that I did—that no ill feeling against my grandfather lay back of his interest in my affairs. "You're not quite the man your grandfather was, Mr. Glenarm. You'll excuse my bluntness, but I take it that you're a frank man yourself. He was a very keen person, and, I'm afraid,"—he chuckled with evident satisfaction to himself,—"I'm really afraid, Mr. Glenarm that you not." "There you have it, Morgan! I fully agree with you! I'm as dull as an oyster; that's the reason I've called on you for enlightenment. Consider that I'm here under a flag of truce, and let's see if we can't come to an agreement." "It's too late, Mr. Glenarm; too late. There was a time when we might have done some business; but that's past now. You seem like a pretty decent fellow, too, and I'm sorry I didn't see you sooner, but better luck next time." "Well," I said, seeing that I should only make myself ridiculous by trying to learn anything from him, "I hope our little spats through windows and on walls won't interfere with our pleasant social relations. And I don't hesitate to tell you."—I was exerting myself to keep down my anger,—"that if I catch you on my ground again I'll fill you with lead and sink you in the lake." "Thank you, sir," he said, with so perfect an imitation of Bates' voice and manner that I smiled in spite of myself. "And now, if you'll promise not to fire into my back I'll wish you good day. Otherwise—" He snatched off his hat and bowed profoundly. "I'll suit me much better to continue handling the case on your own grounds," he said, as though he referred to a business matter. "Killing a man on your own property requires some explaining—you may have noticed it." "Yes; I commit most of my murders away from home," I said. "I formed the habit early in life. Good day, Morgan." As I turned away he closed his door with a slam, a delicate way of assuring me that he was acting in good faith, and not preparing to puncture my back with a rifle ball. I regained the lake shore, feeling no great discouragement over the lean results of my interview, but rather a fresh zest for the game, whatever the game might be. The sun was going his ruddy way beyond St. Agatha's as I drove my canoe into a little cove near which the girl in the tam-o-shanter had disappeared the day before. The shore was high here and at the crest was a long curved bench of stone, boldly reminiscential of Alma Tadoma, and as clearly the creation of John Marshall Glenarm as though his name had been carved upon it. It was assuredly a spot for a pipe and a mood, and as the shadows crept through the wood before me and the water, stirred by the rising wind, began to beat below. I invoked the one and yielded to the other. Something in the withered grass at my feet caught my eye. I bent and picked up a string of gold beads, dropped there, no doubt, by some girl from the school or careless member of the summer colony. I counted the separate beads—they were round and there were 50 of them. The proper length for one turn about a girl's throat, perhaps; not more than that! I lifted my eyes and looked off toward St. Agatha's. "Child of the red tam-o-shanter, I'm very sorry I was rude to you yesterday, for I liked your steady stroke with the paddle; and I admired, even more, the way you spurned me when you saw that among all the cads in the world I am number one in Class A. And these golden bubbles (O girl of the red tam-o-shanter!), if they are not yours you shall help me to find the owner, for we are neighbors, you and I, and there must be peace between our houses." With this foolishness I rose, thrust the beads into my pocket, and paddled Home in the waning glory of the sunset. That night, as I was going quite late to bed, bearing a candle to light me through the dark hall to my room. I heard a curious sound, as of some one walking in the house. At first I thought Bates was still abroad, but I waited, listening for several minutes, without being able to mark the exact direction of the sound or to identify it with him. I went on to the door of my room, and still a muffled step seemed to follow me—first it had come from below, then it was much like some one going up stairs—but where? In my own room I still heard steps, light, slow but distinct. Again there was a stumble and a hurried recovery—ghosts, I reflected, do not fall down stairs! The sound dived away, seemingly in some distant part of the house, and though I prowled about for an hour it did not recur—that night. TO BE CONTINUED THE MELON LOUSE. Style of Sprayer Which Will Reach Him Under the Foliage. The "melon louse" or aphis often does considerable damage to the leaves and vines of cucumbers, water- IRON PIPE melons, muskmelons, etc., and is a difficult pest to combat because of its habit of hiding on the under side of the leaves. Benjamin H. Gochmauer, one of our Pennsylvania folks, sends in the accompanying rough sketch of a device he has made and which he successfully uses for spraying the under side of vines, etc. Of course the hose shown is attached to the spray pump, and a regulation nozzle finishes off the spray end. Kerosene emulsion, or the tobacco solution, recommends Farm Journal, is an excellent spray to use for these lice. The High and Low Tree A well-known fruit expert says that the cost of picking a barrel of apples upon very large, high trees is 20 cents per barrel, while on low-headed trees the cost does not exceed seven cents per barrel, a very great difference in favor of low-headed trees.

Boston.—A chattering monkey and a greasy ship's offer didn't look much like participants in a thrilling episode at sea as the big British freight steamship Gordon Castle, from Calcutta and Colombo, swung into her berth at National dock, East Boston, the other day, but every man aboard ship, from Capt. Burt down to the little Lascar messboy, swears that Karl A. Tammelin, of Finland and Sapho, the captain's pet monkey, are hero and heroine of a real thriller. As the ship gradually made her northing Sapho suffered from the cold and spent a good part of her time in the engine room. She was down in her customary berth one day when the ship was rolling in a tremendous sea and suddenly the monkey, caught unawares, was sent beadlong against a hot bearing.

She dashed out of sight and her cry was heard off in the direction of the hold. For eight hours nothing was seen of Sapho. Capt. Burt called for a volunteer to rescue her. Tammell asked for permission to get the monkey. Through a little aperture through which his huge frame could hardly be squeezed he made his way into the hold, that was as black as night. Then for three hours there was not a sound from the hold. Capt. Burt called for volunteers to rescue the Finn, who he thought was dead. It was decided to lift the hatches amidships and take out cargo enough so that the bille could be reached. This work was going on when Tammelin emerged with the terrified monkey in his arms. He was soaked with silny water. Running on deck, he threw himself on his knees, raised his hands and offered a prayer of thankfulness for his deliverance and the deliverance of Sapho from death. It was a strange gathering about the Finn. For days Sapho clung to her rescuer. When Hammelin ate his meals Sapho was on his knee. When Tammelin oiled the engine Sapho was clinging desperately to his neck. IRATE FATHER AVENGES GIRL. Takes Young Man Who Jilted Daughter on Rapid Jaunt. Washington, Pa.—Securely fastened at the end of a rope and tied to the buggy of an irate father, whose daughter he had unfeelingly jilted, almost on the day set for the wedding, Walter Edson, the fickle sweetheart, was compelled to trot four miles behind the rig driven by Henry Sheller. A portion of the road was traveled at a fast gait. Edson was to have married Florence Sheller. Three days before the date set for the wedding, after visiting his prospective bride and renewing his promises of marriage, he went to Pittsburgh, where on the same day he married Miss Mae Cole. He boldly brought her back home and boasted that he had no explanation to offer his promised bride. A few days later Sheller went to the sawmill where Edson worked, called him out, and at once overpowered him and hitched him to the buggy. He then drove hurriedly to Edson's home, where he forced the young man to gather up every letter written by his daughter and every present given by her to young Edson, and later made him take an oath before a justice never to molest the girl or any member of the family.

INTERFERED WITH MARRIAGE Disappointed Bridegroom Meets Pre- late Who Turned Sweetheart Against Him and Wreaks Vengeance with Lariat. Zacatecas, Mexico.—Father Louis de Stefano, an Italian priest of the little town of Zarco, this state, has just paid the penalty of interfering with the proposed marriage of two young people of his parish, with death of the most tragic kind. The Popoca and Busamante families are among the wealthiest and most prominent in the state. Some of the richest and best producing mines in this part of Mexico belong to them. Their vast landed estates are situated adjacent to each other. Paulina Popoca and Flacro Bustamante learned to love each other in childhood. It was a constant and sincere affection that ripened as they grew older. Bustamante embraced the Protestant religious faith when he reached manhood, but Miss Popoca continued a Catholic. The fact that her devoted lover was a Protestant did not arouse the objections of the girl's parents to the proposed union. They both recently returned from the United States, where they were educated at the best schools of that country. The preparations for the wedding went forward with no thought that there could be any hitch in the programme. Several days ago Miss Popoca visited the parish church for the purpose of making final confession before the wedding took place, as is the custom here. Her father confessor was the priest Stefano. She remained several hours at the confessional, and when she returned to her home it was with a broken spirit. She told her parents that the padre had told her that in even entertaining the thought of marrying a Protestant she was placing her soul in jeopardy, and that should she actually allow herself to be drawn into the marriage her future would be utterly damned. A conference of the members of the two families was held and an effort made to remove the firm resolve that Miss Popoca had made to break the engagement on account of the priest's warnings. She remained firm in her resolve that the marriage should not take place. Bustamante received the intelligence without a word. The lines around his mouth tightened, and, with set face, he walked out of the room and mounted his horse. He was on his way to his home when he met Father Stefano, who was also riding a horse. Busta- M He Dragged Him at Top-Speed. mante's lariat was gathered in a coll around the pommel of his saddle. He unloosened it and, riding straight toward the priest, he threw the rope with dexterous hands, the coll settling over the head of the astonished man. The noose was quickly tightened around the neck of Father Stefano, and, putting spurs to his horse, he dragged Father Stefano from his saddle and along the rough road for several miles until the last spark of life had left his body. ```markdown ``` Bustamante left the dead body lying in the road and rode off into the mountains. The horrible crime was soon discovered—In fact, a number of Mexican laborers are said to have seen its perpetration. A force of rurales was sent in pursuit of Bustamante, but up to this time he has evaded capture. It is reported that he has joined a band of desperate outaws in the mountains, and that he has announced the intention of following the life of a brigand. The terrible tragedy and the events which preceded it have created a stir throughout a large portion of this state. The prominence and wealth of the families involved add to the interest in the affair. Plenty to Spare. Servant Girl—I left my last place because I could not get enough to eat.

Va. olmerndi flaw ett Oe Ne es hee ee SATURDAY....AUGUST 10, 1907 ‘Tho legislature of Georgia has de- cided to annihilate the whiskey Inter ests and to disfranchise the Negro. It would seem then that the ques tion of drinking Mquor and voting the Negro has been settled to the satisfaction of every Georgia crack- er in that state. Of course the question of disfranchisement does not materially affect us for the rea- son that our understanding of it is that the Negro has been systematical jy disfranchised in Georgia all the time, except in those Instances where he voted for the man and the Party that distranchised him. As the matter now stands, the Pro hibition elements must accept the responsibility for further humflla- ting and distranchising the “man and brother” who was already ‘u- millated and disfranchised. It will require much eXplanation and more talking In the doubtful states to an- alyze that yote and to explain the meaning of this most remarkable condition of affairs in Georgia. CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESI- DENCY. it {s now persistently rumored that Hon. George B. Cortelyou. Sec- retary of the Bureau of Commerce and Labor will be w candidate for the position of President of the U- nited States. We were at first dis. posed to regard this report in the nature of a jeke, but as there has been no denial in official quarters of its authenticity there may be some truth in it after all One would at first blush believe that this was a boom antagonistic to the one launched in Ohio for Secre- tary William H. Taft, but upon a closer examination, it seems to us to de a movement to head off any op- position to ‘him and to bring about a condition of affairs that will be much in his favor. It may be too that Gov. Hughec is not conducting him- self altogether satisfactory and in keeping with the Roosevelt policy. If he aspires to the head of the Ueket and refuses to be mustered in- to the arena as the “tail part" of the procession, then Secretary Cor- telyou, who has always shown an a- daptability to take orders and do as he is told, will be available. The Cortelyou boom is handy for another reason. If Secretary Taft's ‘boom should drop to earth for want of gas then the Cortelyou boom would be ready for launching and ‘Vice President Fairbanks may be in- duced to again accept second place on the ticket. We regard the re- port as being very significant. It has not only determined to the plattorm of the Republican Par- ty but to name its candidates. ‘There are thousands of colored people and hundreds of thousands of white ones who will also be ta favor vf lettirg him elect the ticket he names. Certsinly, if a conven- tlon is not to have the priviiese of selecting its candidate, ft cannot be ‘expected to go into a canvas to e- lect him, The situation is becoming more complicated as the months roll by and we shall expect to see an upheaval in a few montas, the like of which has never been seen or witnessed in this republic. FIGHTING THE CORPORATIONS. We have called attention to the fact that the Issues Involved in the Suffrage cases which have been tak- en up to the Supreme Court of the United States are now being called {nto question it the attacks now be- fag made upon the corporate Inter- ests of the country as specifically Fopresented by the, raliroite. The state of Alabama enacts a law, puu- ishing a railroad company by the for felture of its charter for removing {ts cause from the state court to the United States Coort, & thing which it had a perfect legal and constita- tonal right to do. ‘The question now arises as to whether a court of competent juris- diction ts impotent to protect the cit- fzens whose cause is under considera- tion before it. Can a county, elty or state or individual punish a wit- ness for testifying ina court? Can it threaten him with the loss of life or his property should he persist in testifying? If It can, then the state of Alatama is right and tne Southern Ratiway i wrong. If it cannot, then the issue is decided al- ready. The meaning of all of this ts that this state's right agitation in its use against the Negro has swung too far antl as the Supreme Court has either recognized its contentions or ignored the pleas of the colored citizens dis- claiming against it, the states and their representatives have grown bolder and under the malignant at- tacks of Hon. William J. Bryan and President Theodore Roosevelt have placed the corporations in the same Millory once occupied by the Negroes, To protect thelr very existence, the Fallroad companies and other corpo- Fations will be compelled to make the fight, whieh will in ite wake open up for the Negroes of the United States the very avenues that have been closed against them during all of these years. Surely “God moves in a mysterious way, Hix wonders to perform.” So far as the colored man Is concerned, the Supreme Court of the United States has said to the Southern States In the words of Pon- tus Pilate, “Take him and Judge him according to your nw." la giving to the states this unlim- fred authority, regardless of the Con- stitution of the United States, the result In the one ease has been an- Uctpated in another and now the carrier and not the passenger is the victim of the fury of those who have hounded us for more than forty years.

In their admiration for him, the white men, who are making “barrels” of money as a result of his phenomenal skill have forgotten his color and have sent reports broadcast over the country that have In a measure covered him and the race with which he is Identified with glory. He fs declared to be the best young rider In America to-day. The re port says : “This assertion 1s now reiterated with emphasis, for in every way Lee has excelled Miller during the period of thirty days’ racing just passed— that is, excluding the number of days that Miller has been set down and the number of mounts which the Negro has handled. The pre- diction fs made that Lee will not retrograde but will improve and will continue to outrank “The Marvel- jous.”” Again, It fs to be sald In Lee's fa- yor that he always rides clean and fair, never a semblance of foul or roughness, endangering the lives of his fellows. Only once in his career was he set down, and then, for three days, on an unmanageable, green 2- year-old. He has his first time to draw a fine. Starter Holtman speaks lof him in the highest praise, saying ‘that he never gives him any trouble, but on the other hand, gives him ali the help that he can, and is always respectful and obedient. He is alert and wonderful at get- ting away from the post. | Has ‘his mount in action and may be seen nearly always in a contending Position in the early stages of the race. é _ On the other hand, Miller is re-| times atready: thie ‘year he has THE RICHMOND PLANET.

He determined not to take too much punishment and the plea of a broken arm was a convenient excuse for him to retire at the most oppor. tune moment. The story of the rounds will bear repetition: ‘The sporting fraternity expected to be handed something to-night fn the wind-up at the Washington Sport ling Club between Bob Fitzsimmons Jana Jack Johnson, but the uncertain ty as to the manner in which it might be handed out aroused as much $0: torest as did the fight itself It heeame noised around the butld- Ing while the first preliminary was on that Fitzsimmons had broken ‘hls jarm while boxing with Joe Jeannette on Monday, but no announcement was made of the fact until ‘Tommy Keenan, after the men had put on their gloves, whispered something to Manager MoCarnes and then left the ring He Immediately returned ,however and made a brief speech, in which ‘he {told of the prevailing Tumors, and \declared that he would not officiate fan reteren unless Pilestiamions. sab ‘mitted to an examination at_ the hands of the club physician.

Ayres was retired even though he made the emphatic decla- ration that so fit was he for service that he “could ride a horse to death.” President Roosevelt approv ed of the findings of the retiring board and the distinguished officer Is retired forever more. Here then was a case for a court martial that was settled by the med- eal fraternity. If Col. Ayres state- ment Is to be believed, they got the hint and acted accordingly. Presi- dent Roosevelt was a party to this underhanded method of ridding the service of an officer. We are of the opinion that Mra. Ayres was indis- creet and that in giving out the interview, her husband was more 50, but it Is not In accordance with the Principle of a square deal to per- mit such methods as are now in Vogue in the army. The colored soldiers were treated in a similar manner and the masses of our people are still chafing under this kind of treatment. The result- {ng protest will react upen some one and as Secretary Taft is the head of the War Department, he must ne- cessarily be responsible for its fol- bles and follies.

CLEAR STREETS WITH THE BAYONET Town, Villages and Moorish Batteries Suffer From Big Gun Practice Before Surrender of Arab Pasha. TANGIER, Aug. 7.—Casablanca, on the Moroccan coast, has been bombarded by French and Spanish cruisers, the Moors are reported to have been shot down in large numbers and the town, since last Sunday night, has been practically in the possession of landing parties of the French and Spanish navies. The first shots were fired by the Moors. The Frenchmen responded with a bayonet charge and the bombardment of the native quarter with mellinite shells. The Frenchmen had seven men wounded, but no men killed. No European residents were hurt. The commander of the Galllee asked for permission to land a guard of sailors to protect the French consulate, which was granted, but while the guard was proceeding to the consulate it was fired upon in the streets, and six bluejackets and an ensign were wounded. The French then cleared the streets at the point of the bayonet, killing many of the Moors. The ensign was shot through both hands, but in spite of his injuries he ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge. This the Frenchmen did, clearing the ground of the enemy as they advanced until they reached the French consulate, where the French citizens of Casablanca had taken refuge. The other European residents had sought safety at their respective consulates. On arriving at the consulate the guard signaled the news of the incident to the Gallilee and the French notified the Spanish cruiser, which landed a guard for the consulate of Spain. The warship then bombarded the Arab quarter. The Casablanca battery fired a couple of blank shots when the Du Chayla was entering the bay and the cruiser repelled, destroying part of the battery, the Moorish gunners retiring. The Du Chayla then shelled the beach, where a number of Kabyles had assembled, killing many of them. The cruiser also shelled the outskirts of Casablanca, where groups of Moors were seen. In the meantime the French cruiser Galllee was shelling the native villages outside of Casablanca to prevent armed Arabs from entering the city. According to the Anatole passenger the shells could be seen plowing up the earth and killing men and horses. The Du Chayla also sent a party ashore under Commandant Manglin. As they were landing these men were subjected to a fire from a Moorish force under command of the Marabout Sidi Belout, but the rapid fire guns in the bows of the French launches cleared the ground for the sailors, who made their landing expeditiously. They scaled the walls of the Portuguese consulate and reached the French consulate under cover of the guns of the marines already there. A party of thirty men were landed from a Spanish cruiser. A late report says that the Moorish pasha at Casablanca has surrendered the town and that guards for the protection of foreigners have been landed at Mogador, Rabat, Safi and Mazagan. Reports from Rabat say the situation there is critical. The Berber tribes men continue threatening to invade the city, and the Europeans are panic stricken and are fleeing from the place The occupation of Casablanca is a direct outcome of the native uprising which resulted in the killing last week of eight Europeans at Casablanca. Both France and Spain are resolved to exact punishment and indemnity for the outrages committed on their subjects. Refugees say that about 150 Moors were killed in the town and around Casablanca during the bombardment by the foreign warships. The Casablanca battery was reduced to ruins by the shells. Official advises say that the sultan's troops have attacked and burned the village of Hania, near Raisull's retreat. It now appears that when the tribesmen demanded that Raisull surrender Caid MacLean because they feared an attack by the sultan's troops Raisull suddenly vanished, taking MacLean with him into the hills.

FINED VAST AMOUNT Standard Oil Must Pay Over $29,000,000. "WE CAN COLLECT IT"—GARFIELD Commissioner Smith's Report Significant In Light of Landis' Decision—"Like Thieves and Counterfeiters." WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—A special dispatch from Riverside, Cal., says that in an address before the chamber of commerce there James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, alluded to the fine imposed on the Standard Oil company at Chicago, saying: "The decision and fine are the end of a long fight and will teach the people of this country that no man, big or little, is above the law. The Standard Oil company and others like that great corporation have gone ahead on the theory that they were so powerful that they could do things the ordinary citizen could not. We are showing them that they cannot." Asked if the prosecution could collect the fine, Secretary Garfield replied: "Yes, you may be assured we can. There are 10,000 more counts hanging over them on which similar fines can be levied." Dispatches from Chicago say that Judge Landis in the United States district court there fines the Standard Oil company the vast amount of $29,240,000, the extreme penalty possible for its conviction on 1,462 counts for the Gattler JUDGE K. M. LANDIS. acceptance of illegal rebates. In the announcement he closes, so far as his court is concerned, one of the most important cases against a corporation in the history of the United States. Before attorneys for the corporation could recover their breath the judge gave them a second shock when he called a special grand jury for Aug. 14 to investigate the same violations of law from the point of view of conspiracy between the Standard Oil, the Alton road and officials of both. This charge, if proved, may land some of the railroad and oil officers in jail. The fine imposed is the largest ever assessed against any individual or any corporation in the history of American criminal jurisprudence. The judge declared in his opinion that the officials of the Standard Oil company who were responsible for the practices of which the corporation was found guilty were no better than counterfeiters and thieves. Significant revelations are made public in a report submitted to President Roosevelt by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, concerning the operations of the Standard Oil company. It deals with profits and prices, showing just how the manipulation of the oil industry by the Standard has affected the pocketbooks of the American people. Commissioner Smith says: "The Standard Oil company is responsible for the course of the prices of petroleum and its products during the last twenty-five years. The Standard has consistently used its power to raise the price of oil during the last ten years, not only absolutely, but also relatively, to the cost of crude oil. "The Standard's claim that it has reduced the price of oil to the people is untrue. "The whole history of this great industry is a history of the persistent use of the worst industrial methods, the exaction of exorbitant prices from the consumer and the securing of excessive profits for the small group of men who over a long series of years have thus dominated the business." John D. Archbold, vice president of the Standard Oil company, has issued a statement following the decision of Judge Landis in fining the company $29,240,000 for rebating and the report of Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith, in which Mr Smith declared among other things that the claims of the Standard Oil company that it had benefited the consumer was a misrepresentation of facts.

Mr. and Mrs. Gold, Held at Marseilles, Dony Murder. MARSEILLES, France, Aug. 7.—A trunk belonging to a man and woman who arrived here from Monte Carlo attracted the attention of the baggage master, who caused it to be opened. It was found to contain the body of a woman, cut to pieces. The man and woman were arrested. They had asked that the trunk be forwarded to London. The couple, who gave the names of Mr. and Mrs. Gold, residents of Monte Carlo, denied that they committed the crime and informed the examining magistrate that they only knew the victim slightly. While she was at their home on Sunday last they said the woman's lover came there and blew out her brains, and fearing they would be compromised they tried to get rid of the corpse. The murdered woman was a Swede, thirty-seven years old, named Therese Williams. A man named Barker is under arrest at Monte Carlo charged with having killed her. The Considerate Wife.

THE PLANET THE DAIRY How a Convenient Receptacle May Be Made. A salt box with a hinged front that animals may push in is a good rig. You can put a peck of salt in a box like this, and set it up from the Form of the Box. ground where it will keep dry and the animals will help themselves without further attention. They soon find how to push the door in, and of course it swings shut of its own weight. BRICK SILOS. In Use in Many Dairy Districts of Wisconsin and Give Satisfaction. On a recent trip through the heart of the dairy section of Wisconsin, I found the brick silo very much in evidence. Some of them have stood for several years and are giving the best of satisfaction. They neither freeze, shrink, swell, blow down, or rot out, and keep the slaze perfectly. They are made with a double wall of brick with a dead air space between. The inner wall of brick is strengthened by laying in a circle of steel every two feet. This gives it great strength. They are plastered on the inside with cement. The most of these silos set in the ground from four to six feet. The part of the ground is made of stone. I found no one that would recommend building them more than 16 feet in diameter but would build as high as convenient, say 30 to 36 feet above ground. If a larger one than this is desired all seem to agree that it would be better to build two. The old tub silo was good in its day and is very good yet, but silos have passed the experimental stage now and silo builders are looking for something more induring and more substantial. I believe the brick one has come to stay. In a tall silo there is a great outward pressure and anything to stand has to be made very strong. A few cement silos are being built and perhaps in time there will be those that have gained the experience that will enable them to build perfectly, says the Northwestern Agriculturist. At present one complaint with the concrete wall silo is they do not run the walls true enough; so that the silage settles and leaves an air space where the silo crowns out and the silage will mold. Great care should be taken in building a concrete silo to have the walls perfectly perpendicular so the silage will hug tight to the sides and leave no air space. BUYING OR RAISING COWS The Wise Farmer Will Raise His Calves. The practice of raising cows rather than selecting them from the herds of others is to be commended. One of the prominent dairymen of the Elgin district in Illinois, says Farmers' Review, has for a long time followed the practice of going out into the country and buying the best cows he could find, milking them through one lactation and then selling them to the butchers. He said it was a paying investment and that was all he was booking for. We are glad to know that this dairyman has abandoned this course and is now raising calves from his best cows. He says that the other practice has been carried on for so many years that it is now difficult to find the good cows to buy and that if a man wants good cows he must raise them. This is the only course that will constantly improve the quality of our dairy herds. From year to year good cows will increase in number in the herd of the man that is always selling off his poorest cows and is raising calves from his best cows to take the place of the poor cows of which he disposes. Take Good Care of It. Remember the cow is a machine which transforms feed that the dairy-man cannot eat into milk and butter which he can consume. It should also be remembered that it is not possible to put musty and tainted feed into this machine and receive pure and wholesome milk therefrom. MILLET SEED FOR COWS. If Bolled It Makes a Good Feed for Milk. A subscriber from Kiewa, Ia., wishes to know whether boiled millet seed is good for cows in milk; second, whether it is good for young calves fed along with separated milk, and third, if it is good for hogs. He also asks for any information that may be given with reference to feeding it. If the millet seed is boiled until it is soft and is fed on some cut fodder it will answer quite well to feed it thus to cows, but cooking it is costly, answers Prof. Thomas Shaw, in Orange Judd Farmer. It is better to feed it in the form of meal, and, if possible, along with bran. But millet seed ground will be all right fed in moderate quantities with alfalfa. It will also answer to cook it and feed it to calves along with separator milk. The oil in it will help to make up in the cream removed from the milk. As soon, however, as the calves will eat dry meal the simplest plan is to grind the millet and feed it along with bran, or ground oats, preferably the former, until the calves are, say two or three months old, about half the meal feed may be ground millet when the other half is bran. For swine, millet has about the same feeding value as barley, bushel for bushel. Ground and soaked it goes well with a diet of skim milk for young pigs, or alfalfa or clover pasture for pigs that are older. It is also a good fattening food, but if mixed with other meal that is suitable, the pigs will not tire of it so quickly. Millet seed ground is a suitable food for horses, young or old. It is fully equal to oats in maintaining muscular strength. It is better to feed it along with oats than to feed it alone. The oats make it more easily penetrated by the juices of the stomach. Millet seed should not be fed to any class of domestic animals in the unground form, unless it be to sheep and fowls. The seeds are small and hard, and when thus fed many of them are not crushed and so escape digestion. KANSAS CALF FEEDER Device Which Simplifies the Care of the Young Animals. My neighbor uses this device for feeding young calves, writes a Kansas correspondent of the Kansas Farmer. It consists of a 12-inch New Use for Crocks. Explanation: A is crook. B is slug. C is stanchion. D back to hold up board which contains crook. E is manger. board with holes sawed in it one and one-half feet apart, and big enough to hold a gallon crock. The crocks are held in place by small pieces of strap bont bont as in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows an end view of device in place. STRIPPINGS. Separate good rich cream, then churn it at a lower temperature. Clean cream, cold cream, and rich cream are the three words which tell the secret of producing sweet cream. Have the cows come fresh in September and October, and receive 25 to 30 cents per pound for the butter fat in winter instead of 15 to 20 cents in summer. Nature's inexorable law that "like produces like" works all the time. The helper calf from a good milking family on both sides is the valuable cow in the future. The buttermaker's pathway is not always strewn with roses either. Perhaps you as a patron of the creamery should talk those matters over with him before kicking so hard about them. Milk is used raw, while most all other food products are cooked in some way. The very fact that milk is a raw food should stimulate those engaged in its production to the greatest possible care. Never put warm cream and cold cream together. Use separate cans. Don't say you can't afford it. You are in the dairy business every day in the year. If conducted properly there is money enough in it to buy all the necessary tools. A Good Cow. One dairyman has figured it out that a good cow will produce butter for about seven cents a pound. All above that for which the butter is sold is clear profit. The seven cents includes a reasonable consideration for the dairyman's time in milking, caring for the milk and churning the butter. To Ring a Bull. To ring a bull the simplest instrument to use is a trocar and cannula. Push the instrument through, remove the trocar and insert the end of the ring in the hollow cannula, the ring will then easily come through. The instrument can be obtained for about 75 cents.

BLUSHING GIRL STUDENT AIDS PORTLY PROFESSOR WINS PLAUDITS BY RESCUING INSTRUCTOR'S TROUSERS FROM THE MUD. Chicago.—Sir Walter Raleigh is outclassed—and by a woman. The historic event in which a queen, a coat, and a muddy street, played a prominent part is forgotten at Northwestern university. The envised place long held by the knight of old has been usurped by a girl student, a wet sidewalk and a pair of creased trousers. The girl is Miss Hazel Benoit, a senior in the school of oratory, and the man in distress Prof. Robert L. Cummock, head of the school. Miss A woman kneels to help a man put on his shoes. She Deftly Turned Up His Trouseres. Benoit saw the signals of distress as she followed the professor out of the school building at the close of one of the classes. Prof. Cumnock stopped at the head of the stone steps and looked with dismay first at the weather conditions and then at his trousers. Stooping, over, he tried to turn them up. But the professor is portly and his back not as supple as in his boyhood. A great gap yawned between his downstretched hands and the bottom of his trousers, and the distressed look grew apace upon his usually jovial face. Miss Beloit saw the look and understood. Dropping on one knee on the step before him, she deftly turned up one trouser bottom. "Next!" she cried, slapping the other foot of the astonished professor. The other foot was forthcoming and in its turn the trouser was neatly turned up to withstand the perilous journey along the damp sidewalk. The young ladies who saw the act applauded. The applause grew into gossip, until every student and nearly all of Evanston's 25,000 other citizens took up the refrain. Miss Benoit has retired to her room. The doors are heavily barricaded and the telephone is disconnected. THE VILLAGE ANGLER. Under a spreading sycamore The village angler stands. A tough and sturdy boy is he, With soiled and sunburnt hands. And the imprints of his unshod feet Are all along the sands. He goes on Sunday to the stream, Although, of course, that's wrong. Whene'er a bullhead takes his hook He yanks it, hard and strong. And if he doesn't get a bit He huns a cheerful song. Loufling, fishing, pleasuring, So through the week he goes; Each morning sees him at the creek, Whose fishin' holes he knows. Each evening sees him trapping home To seek a night's repose. Thanks, to thanks to me, my patient kid, For the lesson thou has taught. Thus, at the fishing grounds of life, Our shiners must be sought. We waste our days and lie about The fishin' don't caught. —Chicago Tribute A. Disappointment. "You have been taking a great deal of interest in zoology of late." "Yes," answered the casual student. "I desired to get afar from the haunts of inconsiderate and unscrupulous men. But I found dumb creatures doing things quite contrary to the rules I had laid down for them in my books. Even the wilderness has its undesirable citizens." — Washington Star. HER UNUTTERABLE LONGING.

SUGGS AND HIS SYSTEM. Mr. Pulisfer Suggs appeared on his front porch just as his neighbor came out on his own steps. The neighbor glanced over and saw that Mr. Suggs' cheeks were puffed out and that his eyes seemed to be bulging. He observed also that Mr. Suggs walked methodically the length of his porch, then turned and retraced his steps, cheeks still puffed and eyes still bulging. "Good morning!" called the neighbor cheerly. "One!" said Mr. Suggs with a mighty out-puffing of breath. Then his cheeks sank in and his eyes went back to subnormal, while his shoulders curved forward and his chest became concave. His waist-line also became smaller, and Mr. Suggs walked the length of his porch and back in this shape, while the neighbor looked on with amazement. "Good morning!" the neighbor said again when Mr. Suggs returned to his end of the porch. "Two-oo-oo!" hissed Mr. Suggs with a tremendous inrush of breath. Once more Mr. Suggs cheeks grew round and round; once more his eyes bulged out and his face grew purple. Once more he paced the length of his porch and back. Again the neighbor said "Good morning," and this time Mr. Suggs blew out his breath in a raucous "Three-ee-ee!" Again his shoulders were curving forward, again his cheeks were sinking inward—but the neighbor ran across the lot and demanded: "What in the dickens do you mean by snubbing me, sir?" I'll give you to understand I'm as good as you or anybody else, and when I say 'Good morning' it's up to you or anybody else to acknowledge it. Mr. Suggs gasped and replied. "Good morning, then, dodgast it! I'm taking one of these deep-breathing courses, and you choked me off right after the third inspiration, and now I've got to go back and begin all over again!"—Judge.

EIGHT THE PLANET VARDAMAN'S DEFEAT. John Sharp Williams Gets Misses slipp's Nomination by 2,000 Votes. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7. — John Sharp Williams has defeated Governor Vardaman for the nomination as United States senator by a majority of 2,130 votes, according to incomplete returns from the Mississippi primary, compiled by the Pleayune. Williams polled 55,583 votes, Vardaman 34,453. Official returns from six counties are still missing, but the majorities for each candidate are computed in the totals given. Later returns from these counties cannot affect the general result. Congressman Williams carried Lefore county, the home of Governor GOVERNOR J. K. VARDAMAN. Vardaman, by a vote of 525 to 451. Vardaman also lost Lawrence county, where antagonism was aroused against him because he pardoned Mrs. Angle Birdson for killing Dr. Thomas H. Butler. The vote in Lawrence was 558 to 423 in favor of Williams. Hinds county, in which the state capitol is situated, was carried by Williams by a vote of 1,676 to 1,172. Of the seventy- eight counties Williams carried forty- five and Vardaman thirty-one. The candidates tied their votes in two counties—Grenada, with 437 each, and Wilkinson, with 422 each. GAVE HER STRAIGHT TIP Army Officer Wrote, "Your Son Is a Worthless Seoulrd." WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—A court martial which recently convened at Fort Monroe, Va., found First Lieutenant George A. F. Trumbo, Twelfth United States cavalry, not guilty of the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, but guilty of conduct to the prejudice of the good order and military discipline in writing the following letter to Mrs. Hettle Sims of Clarksburg, W. Va., in reference to her son, an enlisted man who had served under him: "It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your son, Earl Sims, who is about the most worthless scoundrel I ever saw, is a deserter from the United States army. I sincerely hope to see him behind the bars for at least two years." The sentence of the court was that Trumbo should be reprimanded by the reviewing authorities and be confined to the limit of the station at which he may be serving for two months. In approving the sentence of the court Major General Frant, commanding the department of the east, holds that the sentence is entirely inadequate, and that it should have been sufficiently severe to guarantee that an officer would not be again guilty of such conduct.

Titwilley Express in Smashup New Kelly Station. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 7. -The Tittsville express, southbound, on the Buffalo and Allegheny division of the Pennsylvania railroad, was wrecked near Kelly station, ten miles from Kittanning, Pa., by being sideswiped by a freight car which had broken away from a northbound freight engine. The engine was derailed and two baggage cars, a smoker and newspaper car wrecked. At least four persons are dead and twenty-five injured. Among the identified dead are Mrs. Alonzo Huff and her infant son, Johnstown, Pa.; M. B. Irwin, engineer of the passenger train, Oakmont, Pa., body cut in two and found under the tender, and George Cochran, Rimeburg, Pa. Mrs. Huff, who was returning to her home in Johnstown, Pa., from a visit, was almost instantly killed with her infant in her arms. With her were three daughters, who were among the most seriously injured. Abble Huff and Ruth Huff each sustained a fractured limb, while Mary Huff, the third daughter, was seriously bruised. Mrs. Maud Whitworth and Mrs. Chalfant, wife of Rev. Chalfant, both of Kittanning, were injured. Mrs. Whitworth, when the crash came, threw one of her two children out of the window on the sand. The other child was thrown on the floor, but escaped harm. The child thrown from the window was uninjured. Three children accompanied Mrs. Chalfant, and they escaped injury. In some manner a big freight car which had formed part of a freight train northbound had broken away from this train and had landed some distance from the northbound track and projected over the southbound track. The engine as it rounded the curve was sidewiped by this car, which derailed the engine and wrecked the four cars. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Notable Events of the Week Briefly Chronicled.

It is a puzzle to me to see that a people have and can get all they need and want and yet they act so careless. These people have been in the school but they have not suppose the teaching is out of their sight. There is no need to understand Latin and Greek before understanding English. These people want to hear a man praise them in their ignorance and foolish way. You are all right in their sight but when you begin to tell them about their short comings you can soon see the whites of their eyes. These people have not drunk much milk and they are not of any size. Our young men and young women in these parts of Alabama have made much of their ignorant way is their parents. This is very hard but it is true. I hope for a better time to come. Yes, because I want to change my writing. I have been speaking all along this line long enough. I think. But when the wind is blowing from the north triglid zone it is mighty cold and we can't help it. And from the south temperate zone it is hot and we can't help it. My people's veins are stretched to the last in ignorance. Our men who are supposed to have wives are not able to teach them as they should be taught. We are expecting our girls and women to be sober-minded but from the outlook now it is not so. Again, our young men are not able to teach soberness and sobriety as it should be taught. They don't practice patience living at all. If man begins associating with a girl he never makes but one or two visits before he is going to marry her on the next one. He makes her a balloon of promises and she is expecting it and it must come or some thing must go. There is a fortune in this country for the colored man, both educationally and mentally and morally if they will pick it up. Our boys and girls must lean and depend on the staff of industry. Their minds are shackled of evil. They never think of elevation or speak of elevation. They never think of social living, but all to idleness and non-progressiveness. You can see them every day of your life standing at the pool of enmity. Our leaders must bear heavier upon social purity. A. A. FENNELL. —We are sending out sample copies.

Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Hink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases so record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Adolph Goebel, a millionaire, was the leader of a band of 1,000 infuriated residents of the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn who made an almost successful attempt to lynch two men who set upon and attempted to attack Miss Sadie Hasenung of 33 Bogart street, daughter of State Senator Conrad Hasenung of that district. After an attempt by the men to drag her into a dark hallway Miss Hasenung fought desperately, freed herself and ran to her home, where her father was on the front doorstep. With a revolver he captured one of the men and then assisted Michael Camn, his daughter's fiance, in capturing the other fellow. Adolph Goebel, who was in the crowd and who heard of the attempted crime of the men, hurried for a rope. By this time the men were in the hands of the policemen. The men surged down on the officers. Goebel with rope in hand, and an effort was made to take the two from their captors. There was a call for the reserves, and 100 men responded. They drew their revolvers and said they would kill the first person who interfered with the prisoners. The prisoners, who were badly battered by the crowd, gave their names as Peter Cambasi of 141 Noll street and John Montalone of 22 Morgan avenue.
