ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. ; ^ CANUCKS ARE RILED People of Dominion of Canada Talk of Annexation. AWARD CAUSES A KICK Rather Than See Their Country Gobbled Piecemeal, Many x>f Them Say They Would Rather Join With Uncle Sam. News comes from Vancouver, B. C., to the effect that local feeling is very bitter over the award of the Alaskan . r- boundary commission. There is much talk of annexation and of Canada becoming independent, business men being generally much / dissatisfied at what they pronounce British disregard of Canadian inter* eats to please the United States. It is a matter of comment that among the discontented are Englishmen residing in Vancouver. Many of these say Canada will never achieve ffer greatest possibilities until she becomes a k ' part of the United States. The Rev. Elliott S. -towe, the leading .minister of British Columbia, who, witijF Qhief Justice Hunter, constituted the labor commission which sat this euE$)aier, in an interview said: "i'aifa a Britisher and T havp aiways beea a Britisher, but if Great Britain is band Canada pyer piece meal to the^ri^ted States, I 6ay let us join the Amp1<$an republic also. By doing so no^; we are large enough, populous enotfeh and important enough to have soraifthing to say regarding the terms of asch annexation, and also would be * * * L "Arrt a1V?!t1(T t O pOLflll enougu LU iict\ t? Buucuiiug w i eay-lln the affairs of the republic of whi&i we would form a part. But if we*ait until our best and richest territofe' is given away we shall simply be |bsorbed. It looks to me as if Can da|had won the case and lost the territolr.J iMy^r Neelands, of Vancouver, thiijts'that the Alasaan award may f "" lead? to the establishment of Canada as qp. Independent nation. ? I ..'Senate Questioned, special --from Ottawa, Ontario, say*: la the senate, at Thursday's , ses^bni Sir Mackenzie Bowel], leader of vie opposition, asked for informs- 1 tlon^cohcci ntng the Alaska boundary | award. Mr. Scott," for the government, replied that the most important reason why, the Canadian commissioners did ? not approve of the award was that it I. wis; not a judicial decision. Lord Alver^tone had, in the first instance, agreed-\hat the center of the Portland canfl should, form the boundary lines. The^ four islands should have gone /s aithor thp rountrv or the other, j depending on the position of the line I thrcgigh the Portland channel, consequently Lord Alverstone deflected the line*;so as to throw two of the islands lntO; the United States and two into Canada, that is Wales and Pearse islands went to Canada and the two smaller to the United States. Mackenzie Bowell said it was unfortunate that in every case when negotiations have taken place between the United States and England, where Cancel*1 was affected, the United States diplomats had succeeded in se' curing islands which command most lfnportant points of the dominion. Theie was the island right opposite the harbor of Port Arthur. In case of diffidfclty* be said, that island would have to be secured by the British peopfe, for, 7f fortified, it would command the entrance to that harbor. Unless that was done the United .States could secure It, and with the guns they have at present, would be able to destroy the whole connection between east and west. It was the same with the island of San Juan, another secured bv treaty negotiations. "Now,**- said Sir Mackenzie, "the United States will command Fort Simpson. In every case Canadian interests were sacrificed." p w Senator McMullen said the decls. ion would create as much dissatisfaction In Canada as there was in the & Transvaal and Ireland.

In the United States circuit court at Greenville Judge Simonton directed a verdict for the Southern railway company in the suit brought by William Davenport' administrator of William A.

Locked Him in Iron Vault. One night the past week.,, thrae masked men called at the central telephone office at McColl, covered Mr. Hood, the operator, with three pistols, securely tied him, took him with them down stairs into the bank, placed him In the rear room, while they made five successful atempts to blow open tne large sate witn expiqsives. Aiisr their failure, the operator was placed in the iron vault end locked up, where he was found and liberated the next morning. Had an entrance been made several thousand dollars would have been secured. J * Columbia Court Postponed. Judge Simonton has issued an order adjourning Columbia court from the fourth Tuesday in November to the first Tuesday in January. This postponement is made necessary because of the unusually heavy docket of the United States circuit court of. appeals, which convenes soon in Richmond. Captain Edgeworth M. Blythe, of the local bar, has been appointed additional United States commissioner for Greenville, the appointment being made necessary because of the continued illness of Commissioner Hawthorne. * * c Beer Gardens in Charleston. The state board of dispensary directors has estaolished three beer gardens in Charleston. The gardens have have been established for the purpose of selling beer by the bottle, and every purchaser will be allowed to^drink the beer in a room adjoining the room whpro the hppr wac sold. The keeDers of the beer gardens will be under a heavy bond to the state for faithful performance of duty according to law. It is believed that the beer gardens will prove a knock-out blow to the blind-tigers. Ever since the dispensary law went into effect there has been no place or establishment of any kind in the city tfhere beer could be sold according to law. The result has been that the blind tigers hare controlled the business. Now that the state board of dispensary director, has legalized the sale of beer by the bottle the blind tigers will s-uffer.

On the east side of the monument is the following inscription: "Our Confederate Soldiers.' On the north side: "1861-lb65. Patriots who, animated by the same faith, actuated by the same love of country; beset by the same trials and dangers ; endowed with the same fortitude, and who fought as heroically to maintain sell-government as did the colonial fathers to attain the same, and who with them are immortalized in the same halo of glory." On the west and south sides of the monument are inscriptions commemorating the valor of deeds of those who sacrificed their lives to the cause of , confederacy; WED SOLON WEDS'f Wm. M. Stewart. ofNevada, a F "Blushing" Bridegroom. MARRIES GEORGIA WOMAN ( Senator Stewart is Patriarch, Wealth* E iest Man in United States Senate and Friend of the South, Though Staunch Republican. William M. Stewart, the patriarchial, white-haired senator from Nevada, who is 70 years old, and who has worn his toga longer than any living mem- n oer of the upper house 01 congress, s was married in a private parlor at the p Piedmont hotel, In Atlanta, G3., Mon- n day evening, and the woman who became his wife in that sample, quiet * wedding was Mrs. M#y Agnes Cone. ! a Judge Thomas M Norwood, of Sa- c vannah, was the "best man" at the ^ ceremony and the only other witnesses were State Treasurer Robert E. Park and wife, Hon. Clark Howell and the minister who performed the cere- c mony, Rev. H. S. Bradley, of Trinity e Methodist church. 1; Judge Norwood served for six years in the United States senate with Sen- c ator Stewart in the early seventies. E The announcement of this event will t be received with inierest all the coun- c try over, for in many ways Senator f Stewart is one of the most conspicuous as well as popular men in the national legislature, while his bride has tang been a social favorite at the national capital. . Senator Stewart is reputed to be one of the richest men in the senate, ? and is the patriarch of that distin- * guished body. Their wedding was the * culmination of a ccrurtship compara- * tively brief. Since her husband's fi death* some nine years ago, Mis. Cone has spent her time alternately t in Washington, D. C., and Madison, t Ga. In the latter place she lived wich i her sister in law, Mrs. Joel L. Pillups, the only daughter of the late Francis I S. Cone, and her life there was more i or less quiet. In Washington, how- f ' ' * *? J ~ A.? ever, sue was seen mucn in society, t and in the foremost circles of the capital she numbered her friends bv the score. Senator Stewart is said to be worth about $25,000,000, most of which im; mense fortune is in silver mines, of which he owns some of the largest and richest in the world? But what makes the senator of in- . terest to the south is thS unfailing friendship for southern interests he has always exhibited in his senatorial career. He first entered the senate In 1864, serving two terms. For the two succeeding terms he laid aside his toga, but at the expiration of thi3 time he was again chosen to represent his state in the upper house. He is now serving the fifth year of his fifth term. During his service in the senate he has championed on many occasions the interests of this section, notably in the aid he lent in defeating the Force bill, which he accomplished acting in concert with* Senator Gor- . man, though Senator Stewart himself *- - on/i iiiof tinw an ardent < IS a icpuunvau UUU juuv Roosevelt man.

He heaped villification and denunciation upon John Murray Dowie whom he declared had made his moth- , er believe her marriage to Dowiq's father was shameful, and the army officer, having been taken away by relatives, his mother in the first flush 1 of her shame sought to give her son a name by marrying John Murray Dowie. 1 CHARGES AGAINST COMPANY Made By Creditors of Southern Car and Foundry Corporation.

It is understood that the investigation failed to substantiate Terry's charges and his permanent removal is the result of that failure.
