PURSUING NEGRO

Lexington. May 19.-Sheriff P. H.
Corley is lying at his home sufferino
from a desperate gunshot wound.
iwhile a posse of several hundred de
termined men are scouring the entirE
country hunting for his assailant, Ed.
Bynum. a negro whom the sheriff at
tempted to arrest at an early hom
this morning.
Bynum was a "cropper'' on the
plantation of Mr. W. C. Caughman,
about a mile and a half from town.
Yesterday the negro gave up the crop,
it is said, and 'Mr. Caughman ordered
hands to go to his field this mornin:
and take charge of the crop. Bynum
interfered and ran the hands out ol
the field with his gun. Mr. Cauglimar
had a warrant issued for his arrest
and the san was placed in the hands
of Sheriff Corlev for execution. Wher

tall, and weighs about 150 pounds.
Sheriff Corley is resting as well as
could be expected and the outcome
of his injuries cannot be determined
at this time. Sheriff Gorley is one
of the most popular officers the county
has ever known. Brave, resolute and
determined, he has proven a terror
to the lawbreakers, and that he should
be shot dowvn by a fiend while in the
discharge of his duty has shocked the
entire community. Many have been
the anxious inquiries about his condi
tion today.
Not Caught Yet.,
Lexington, May 19.-Ed. Bynum,
the negro who shot Sheriff Corley ear
ly this morning, is still at large. A
telephone message was received from
-Lykesland late tonight saying that a
negro answering the dscription pass.
-ed there this afternoon about 4
o' clock. Another report is that he
was seen with his brother in the Hol.
low Creek section. T'he whole coun
try is aroused and every .elue is being
run to earth. It is becoming more
evident that if he is caught no human
power can preevnt a lynching.
Sheriff Corley is resting easy at
.this 'hour.

H. H. ROGERS DEAD.
End Came at His Home in New York
His Fortune One of the Largest i
In The Country.
New York, May 19.-Henry H.
Rogers, vice president of the Stand
ard Oil company. moving spirit in
he, organization of the Amalgamated
Copper company. builder of rail
hods, and philanthropist, died at his
home here at 7:20 o'clock this morn
ing from a stroke of apoplexy. Death
came about an hour after Mr. Rogers
had risen for the day, mentioning to
his wife that he was feeling ill. At
7 o'clock he lapsed into unconscious
iess and before the family physician
arrived he was dead. MNr. Rogers was
69 years (old. MIrs. Rogers, three mar
ried daugihters, a son, H. H. Rogers,
Jr., and Dr. W. J. Pulley, a physician,
who was hastily summoned, were at
his bedside when the end came.
AGAIN A SACK-COAT REGIME.
Coattails Have Been Cut Off by the
Taft Administration.
New York American.
This is a sack-coat administration,
as contradistinguished from the silk
hat and fro-ek-coat regime of Roose
velt. Going back a bit-it seems a
long while ago now, by the way
President Roosevelt was never seen
about the white house save in the
statesman's frock coat. Roosevelt in
a sack coat would have been incon
gruous save on horseback or the
hunt. Loeb followed his chief's ex
ample; and going on down the list, we
finally come to Assistant Secretary
Latta-hre wiho carries tie messages
to congress-who never tucked the
portfolio under his arm until he had
(donned the long tailed coat and set
the silk tile straight on his head.
Now all is changed. Taft works
in a business sack suit. Carpenter
essayed the silk hat and long coat
for- the first week. and then aban
doned it for the sack coat and derby.
Finally, one day last week the pres
t ident had some appointments to send
to the senate. Latta used to be a
familiar figure in the upper chamber.
In those days it was unusual for him
not to appear there at least once
every day with a -communication from
the 'white house. So the solons grew
'to know him well. And then, on the
)afternoon in question, a tall, grave
faced young man appeared with corn
munications from the president of the
United States. Senators sat up and
rubbed their eyes in wonder. Latta, K
all right, they discovered on the see
o'nd look, but Latta in a sack suit!
So styles change, even among states
men. Incidentally, coattails are not
the only things that have been eut
off by the Taft a"imheItration.
Poor Crop.
Tit-Bits.
It was on a lonely road in the Ten-1
nessee mountains. A weary rider was
slowly making 'his way up the steep
mountain side, pausing now and then
to rise in his stirrups and look about
in search of some sign of civilization.
Suddenly a turn of the road brought
him face to face with a lank-sallow-V
faced mountaineer, seated upon the
top) rail of the snake fence, whiesh I
bounded a poor ]ittle farm which had
found lodgment on the mountain side.
The rider paused; "Can you tell ~
me how far it is to'Big Stonie Gape?"'
hle inquired.
The mountair~eer 's lips moved in ~
answer, but no sound reached the
rider's ears. He moved over nearer
to the fence and repeated the ques
tion. This t.ime he could barely dis
tinguish a whispered word or two in
the farmer's answer.
''What's the matter with you?'
he inquired, dismounting and walk
ing over to the fence where the old
man sat. "Can't you talk?''
The old man looked pityingly at
his questioner for as moment. and
then. climbing down from his seat
on the rail he walked up to the tray
eler and, putting his grizzled face
close to .his ear. whispered hoarsely:
"Yis. I k.in talk: but the fact is.
sb anger, land is so poor in these I
parts 'that I kain 't even raise my
voice. '' It
Rea.ding the Scripture.f
Here, says Harper's Weekly, is1
the story of David and Goliath as it
is said to 'have been recently told byi
the Rev. Billy Sunday, with appro- C
priate gestu.res, to a rapt .congrega- '
tioni of eight thousand:
"And so David's pa comes up to t
him where .he was working in the t
field and says: 'Dave, better go up to
the house. Your ma' s anxious about I
the other boys fighting in the army,I
hasn't heard from them by 'phone or a
anything, .and she'd like you should I
look them up.' So Dave hops on a r
trolley and hikes to the front, and s
starvs there with his brother over-t
night.
"'In the morning old Goliath cames o
out in front of the Philistines and e
are- theaealites to fight him. .(
Who', hiat big stil Im1kni1' il
he big talk out there?' asked Dave.
'Why. 1hat's the head cheese.
he big noiso.' said his brothers.
' 'Why don't some one soak him
ne?' asks Dave.
" 'We've all got cold feet,' says
he Isrealites.
'''You fellows make me tired.*
ays Dave, and he pikes out to brook,
ets four pebbles in his shepherd's
ack, slams one at Goliath, and soaks
iim in the coco between the lamps.
)oliath goes to the mat, takes the

dats, chops off his block, and the
vhole Philistine gang skidooed."

Lawyers were telling yesterday
ibout an old antebellum negro in the
nountains of North Carolina who was
ecently arraigned in the federal

vithout a license. His name vas
fo;hua, and an old neighbor and for
ner friend of his gave the informa

Yhen the prisoner was put upon the

f he was the same Joshua spoken of
n the Bible as having commanded the
;un to stand still. ''No, sir,'' was
he quick and humorous reply, ''I is
le Joshua what made de moon

The lawyer thought this was a very
)right reply, so wlren Daniel's turn
ame to testify he decided to see if
ie had a. humorous side to his nature.
T'o his ;.reat amusement as well as
iis surprise Daniel measured up pret
v well with Joshua.
''Your name is Daniel, I believe,''
Ihe attorney began.
''Yes, sir,'' was the reply.
''The same Daniel I suppose who
vas east into the lion's den.
''No. six.'' answered the old dar
key with a broad grin; 'I is de Dan'l

The attorney did not press the ease

LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER
Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Livermore, Cal.,
writes: "I picked up from my door
step one day a little book in which I
soon became very much interested.:
My little girl of five years of age had
been troubled for a long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run-;
down and in a very delicate condition.!
"This little book was very compre
hensively written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele
ments of the cod's liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which is
so hard for children to take.
"'Just the thing,' said I. 'for my little
daughter,' and I immediately went for
a bottle of Vinol. It helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
Alesh and strength, and she does Lot
take cold half so easily.
"I am extremely grateful for the
good it has done her, and I hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by my
experience and just give Vinol a trial."
