GIRL SAVED BY SCREAMING. Member of Vardaman's Staff Arrested on Charge of Assault. Jackson, Miss., July 23.-Consider able excitement wrs stirred up here over reports from Kosciusko, stat ing that Major George L. Teat, of that place, a member of Governor Vardaman's staff, and one of the best known military men in the State, htd been placed under arrest in his home town, on the charge of attempting to criminally assault Miss Pressley, a beautiful young lady of that place. According to late- reports, Major Teat haB been placed under bond in the sum of $1,000 for appearance at preliminary trial, which has been set for Thursday. He is a member of one of the beBt known families in that section of the State, a lawyer by profession, and has been promi nent in military and political af fairs for neveral years. Miss Pressley Is a girl of strik ing beauty, about twenty years of age, and a niece of Dr. Love, one of the foremost physicians of that section. The alleged attempt took place in Major Teat's office, and it stated that the screams, of the girl caused several persons lu the vicin ity to rush to her assistance just in time to prevent the accomplishment of the deed. Major Teat was placed under arrest a few moments later, and turned over to the custody of Sheriff Black. In. dignation was high In the commu nity for several hours, and there was some talk of spiriting the young man out of town. The local au thortles had the situation well in hand, however,and prevailed on the relatives of the young lady not to do anyhing rash. Mnjor Teat ls well known in Jackson, and his many friends here, both In military circles and among members of the bar, who are re luctant to believe that he would at tempt such an outrageous crime, and they can explain it only on the ground that he must have been under the Influence of liquor. -. $100 Reward-$1.00.

Bennett, proprietor of the Bennett Electrcal Company, was shot and killed last night by a young woman, Estelle Corwell, with whom he had lived for the past five years. Ben nett was killed as he sat on the porch of the home of Miss Marguerita Ben nett, who, although of the same name was no relation. According to the story related by Miss Corwell, Ben nett had of late been a frequent call er at the home of Miss Bennett, and Miss Corwell became convinced that he was about to desert her. Last night she drove to Miss Ben nett's home tn a cab, and, calling Bennett to where hi? automobile stood, she shot him twice, one of the bullets taking effect In the brain. Miss Corwell drove to the police sta tion, where she surrendered herself into custody. Was in Poor Health for Years Ira W.

AT CLEMSON COLLEGE. It ls Probable that Military Feature May ta Abolished. (From the Yorkville Enquirer.) There is a probability that the military feature may bo abandoned at Clemson College. rIhe reason ls that ? he cadets will not hold themselves amenable to discipline, and army of ficers will stand for nothing else. The commandant of cadets at Clemson, a distinguished army officer, some time ago tendered his resigna tion, and lt developed that the reason was because he has tried to enforce discipline among the seniors and failed It ls not believed the War Department will asaign another offi cer to a college that ls unable or un willing to enforce discipline. Clem son has all along had a reputation for lawlessness. The boyB have been running the whole business very much as they chose, and they have not chosen to be particularly obedient to anybody. The faculty has either been indifferent to the preservation of or der or it has been unable to preserve order, and if Clemson ever expects to amount to anything there must be change along this line. The young man who ls unwilling to obey the law at school need not bo expected to obey the law after he goes out Into the world. It ls only law-abiding cit izens who are good citizens, and if Clemson is not able to turn out law abiding citizens it might very well be abolished. Otherwise it will be of vastly more harm to the State than good. Major lleinphtll for Senator. (From Buffalo, N. Y., Evening News) Three men aro recognized leaders beyond others In the press of the South. They are Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, and James C. Hemphill, of the Char leston News and Courier. Col. Wat terson has never held political office but has rather declined all proposi tions involving public station. Mr. Howell has been long among the leading politicians and statesmen of Georgia, both as editor of the news paper first made famous by the un rivaled brilliancy of the late Henry Grady, and as a member of the Legis lature and presiding officer in turu in both branches of that body, and also os Lieutenant Governor. Major Hemphill has followed until this time the example of Co). Watter son in abstaining from public office, but his friends have taken the busi ness in their own hands and are mak ing great progress in a campaign in his behalf for the seat In the United States Senate now held by Senator Latlmer, whose term expires with the present Congress in 1909. Of his emi nent fitness for that great office there is no room for doubt. His work for twenty years as the directing mind and chief ediorlal writer of the News and Courier has been of so admirable a character In breadth of view.sound nes8 of argument from his premises, and energy of statement, as to have made him the most influential man In his State 'or the welfare of South Carolina. MajorHemphill has nature's gift of a superb personal presence and that rare finish of manner which has been characteristic for generations of the finest type of the Southern gentle man. He has added to the collegiate training of his youth the further ad vantages of continual contact with public men and close acquaintance with public affairs. He has acquired the wisdom of years while his eye ls not dimmed nor his natural force abated. He will not resort to the pitchfork as a weapon of defense against the President to the lasting injury of the State and her loss of Influence which really belongs to her, tho- -.n represented by a Senator op posed In politics to the national Exec utive. Most of the public business ls done with small regard for political points. Reasonable men In the Senate can do well for their States, though not of the majority on party questions. If Major Hemphill ls elected he will nil the position so ably and yet with such urbanity of temper and manner as to repeat the proud days of ' Palmetto State and regain for it that degree of respect and power which the old com monwealth has justly enjoyed for generations.

The- Georgia Division of the Far mers' National Co-Operatlve Union is perfecting the details of a settle ment city, to be established at the Junction of the A ? Imita and WeHt i Point and the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroads, within less than ten miles of Atlanta. The movement has been under way for some months, and much progress has been made by the union. Members of the organization now gathered in Atlanta for the Annual State Convention, are thoroughly in ter8ted in the projected city, and those familiar with the plans are thoroughly convinced the undertak ing will be crowned with success. It ls the purpose of the union to build the proposed city about their big implement factory, whhjjp will be moved from Fairburn to the site selected for the settlement. The business agents of the union have already acquired the titles to a big tract of land at the railroad junc tion, and this 'rad, together with options that will be accepted, ur called, will give the union some thing over 300 acreB of the beBt land in this section of the State. The fact that the Farmers' Un ion owns and operates, at Fair burn, a big Implement factory has just become known. The business agents of the organization nego tiated the purchase of the factory some time ago, but nothing has been said about lt. The union has a way of going ahead and doing some thing before taking the public Into its confidence, and the implement factory is only another evidence of this fact. lt ls known as the Carmichael Implement Company, and 1B super intended by the man whose name it bears. W. H. Halliday, of Stew art county, ls secretary and treasu rer, and both the officers are strong members of the Farmers' Union The company ls capitalize^ ht $50,000, and every dollar of the stock is owned by members of the union. Under the constitution and by-laws of the organization, no one member can own over ? 1.000 of stock in any enterprise, on which account the holdings are widely distributed among farmers- mem bers of the union. The factory makes a quantity of harrows, distributers, etc.-and the entire product of the plant 1B pur chased by members of the union The prices are made to suit the farmers, and there is BO middle man's profit. Since lt was taken over by the Farmers' Union, the output of the factory has bean greatly increus"d, and it has been deemed wise and expedient to seek a more suitable location for the plant. Officers and business agents of the union decided to move the factory to a location where they might also build a settle meut city, and the magnificent site at the junction of the A. & W. P. and the A., B. A A. was selected. It 1B the purpose of the union to build in addition to a magnificent plant, hundreds of comfortable homes, not only for employees of the plant, but others interested in the good work of organization. A cotton school will be establish ed at the settlement city, and here pupils Avil 1 be taught to classify cotton. A Tme-Blue Negro. Washington, July 2..-James H. Jones, the negro mac whose name ls figuring in stories from Richmond relating to the attempts of promi nent ex-Confederates to secure pos session of the great seal of the Con federacy, lives in Washington and is employed In the stationery room of the United States Senate. It ls safe to say that no employee about the Capitol is better known to legislators than he. or is more popu lar. Jones has worked in the station ery room for many years, and his faithfulness and uniform courtesy have won for him the respect and esteem of the members of both Houses, as well as of those persons in private life who have been brought in contact with him. He Is frequent ly pointed out by the Capitol guides as Jefferson Davis' old bodyguard. Notwithstanding this he ls modest and unassuming. Those who know him well are not surprised by tho an nouncement that he declines to di vulge for a monetary consideration, the whereabouts of the great seal of the Confederacy intrusted to him by Mr. Davlb, and the care of which he accepted as a sacred trust. She "Raised4' Him. A young man who had not been married long remarked at the din ner table the other day: "My dear, 1 wish you could make bread such as mother used to make." The bride smiled, and answered In a voice that did not tremble: "Well, dear, I wish you could make the dough that father used to make." WOMEN DON'T WANT DOGS. 2,300., Georgia Women Petition to Have the Cur Exterminated. "Next to the curse of drink, the women of Georgia regard the worth less dog as the greatest evil In the State," said Mrs.Sv. H. Felton Tues day morning, after a conference with Governor Hoke Smith, whom she urged to co-operate in the effort to pats the Luu.sden dog bill. Mtv. Felton came to Atlanta with petitions digned by 2,300 women of the State, memorializing the Leg islature to suppress the dog evil. With them it is a case of "dog gone," to use a bit of street slang. "The women of the State demand of this Legislature protection from the worthless dogs," continued Mrs. Felton. "They aro in earnest, and I tell you this dog question is a burning issue in the rural districts of Georgia. "Every negro has from one to five dogs-worthless curs. They make the lives of the women in the coun try districts a burden. They kill the chickens and they have ruined the sheep-raising industry. They prowl around the country day and night. They go mad, and not In frequently we hear that some chid has been bitten by a rabid animal. "The mothers, In many instances, are afraid to send their children to school. "We do not wish to wage an In discriminate warfare on dogs, but we do Insist that the worthless class of canines be exterminated. Per sonally, I am ford of a blooded dog, and I think they should be given every protection under the law, but the tramp dog ls a menace." The Lumsden bill, In which MTB. Felton ls BO interested, proposes to make dogs property and require own ers to return them for taxation. "if a dog is worth anyt.ilng," re sumed Mn. Felton, "his owner will not object to paying taxes on him. The Lumsden law will protect good dogs, and this is as lt should be. But the worthless negroes will not pay a tax on their cur dogs that roam over the country, striking terror to the hearts of the women. Such dogs will have no protection, and their eradi cation from the State by exportation or extermination will follow as a mat ter of course.' Governor Smith assured Mrs. Fel ton that he was in thorough sympa thy with the proposed "dog law." Cuire? Coldsi t r?vants Pees?-!? Farmers Should Take a Vacation. We have frequently urged upon farmers the value of an ocasional rest from their labors. We do not agree with many writers that the far mer is. the most down trodden and least appreciated of all other profes sions or callings of man. We take no stock in, nor have we any respect for, any man who goes about the country bewailing the conditions of the tillers of the Boil and trying to make the rarmers believe the balance of the world, the flesh and the devil are against him. Such a one is a malefactor and an enemy to the best interests of all, but principally and chiefly he is the enemy of the farmer, whose good opinion he ls trying to get by trying to damage others, the farmers' real friends. But this ls not what we we? "* talking about. This year ls a good time for the far mers to break the habit of staying at home all the time and not trying to find out a little something about what ls going on In the outside world The Jamestown Exposition is now on, and in a little while the railroads will be selling round trip tickets so cheap that people can go to the Ex position almost cheaper than they can stay at home, and every one who can should avail himself of the opportu nity and go to the exposition for a few days at least. You can see more there in a few days than you could see in years of travel, and see lt .?> cheap, too, and only be away from home and your business a few days.

JL ALL DRUGGISTS t Wheat Growing in South Carolina. i'he government report of winter wheat made on May 1 shows that in South Carolina 314,000 acres have been planted In this grain, and that the indicated yield for the present would give an average yield the acre of six bushels, which is a very small ylold, considering the productive ca pacity of our soil, but it means an addition that South Carolina will pro duce this year about 376,800 bushels of flour, worth about $1,130,400. The wheat grown In South Carolina makes the best flour that has ever been consumed by our people, and the wonder is that greater attention has not been given to the production of this grain. It is some satisfac tion to know, however, that through their own efforts the poeple in South Carolina will save more than a mill ion dollars this year which they have heretofore expended in the North west. Every pound of provisions consumed by the people of South Carolina ought to be produced in the State, and would be so produced if the people of this State Improved the opportunities which they have.
