??????????????? ROAD WILL BE OPENED. * Definite Arrangements Made tor the ^pco'; 1" ";<' " . Clinchfield Lease. 1 ??$& :? ? .. v Atlanta, Ga., June 28.?As a result of a meeting of the railroad men held recently in Spartanburg, definite arrangements have been > made whereby the Carolina, Clinchlp_V field & Ohio railway is to be leased "hv the ChesaDeake & Ohio and the * Seaboard Air Line. This means / through trains from Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg, and intermedate points of the Middle West via the < ; Chesapeake & Ohio, the Clinchfield ?/ and the Seaboard Air line, to points ^ < in the South through to the gulf. *The Clinchfield road will be exf'"|| tended from St. Paul, Va., 40 miles, to Elkhorn City, Ky., where connection will be made with the Q? Chesapeake & Ohio. The Seaboard te; Air Line already connects with the . Clinchfield at Bostic, N. C. The meeting at Spartanburg was attended ."by Edwin Hawley, John B. Dennis, Geo. W. Stevens, Frank Trumbull, S. Davies Warfield, Vice President Caples and other officials of the roads interested. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank New York, also attended the meeting, and with the other men named made an inspection trip over the Clinchfield railway. S. Davies Warfield, who was one the receivers of the Seaboard, and who is now chairman of its executive was lareelv instrumental IIKw.. in bringing about the new arrange ment. The Clinchfield occupies a strategic position as it holds the only gateway through the mountains, giving connection with the Middle West. The Clinchfield was built by the Cumberland corporation and the total investment in building the road and purchasing coal lands was something over $55,000,000. It is learned that existing relations of the Clinchfield railroad with other connections will not be disturbed.

Its color was ^{^flomewhat lik^ the rattlesnake, but Ifev iwas not >so pronounced. It required little nerve for a small man like jgljg Mr. Hamilton to attack to the death Pfe sueh a large and dangerous looking , ^ viper. It was found after it had been ' Ipv ?; killed not to. have any fangs and was ' jfey^ajOt of the poisonous species therefore j liarmlPRR* t.hft mouth was (sufficiently large to take in a grown i rabbit and no doubt the stomach of this serpent has been the last abiding place of many a sand hill cotton tail. While this species is unknown in this section its large size evidences the conclusion that this reptile had ] enjoyed* the peaceful quitude of the ; sand hills unmolested for many years. iy-Troy Montgomerian. j Surprised the Bishop. In addition to being tall and portly, and tipping the scales at 300 pounds, or in that immediate vicinity, Bishop Noyes of New England snjoys a good story, and he appreciates it just as heartily when the foke is at his expense. Therefore he tells with much pleasure a story of 'how he was surprised wnile taking ?1 f a stroll in a park. After walking for , 0? some time he decided to rest for a H; few moments, and seated himself on sfe a bench that had an unusually deep ffe dip. , Finally, feeling sufficiently r ' rested, he essayed to rise from the deep bottomed seat, and the effort proved too much on the first attempt, '? . owing to his generous proportions. A ? little girl had been watching him closely, and when he again made an effort to rise she stepped forward and said: "Give me your hand, mister, I'll help you to get up." "Why, my dear child, you have %' .not strength enough to help a man as big as I am," was the amused "bishop's reply. "Oh, yes I have," responded the little girl. "I've pulled papa up many a time when he was drunker than you are."?Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. jhjr ; rVv Vv "?* >> . ' i I" . .. . - DEMAND REMOVAL. Members of Aiken Company Appeal to Gov. Blease. Columbia, June 28.?Capt. J. M. Richardson of the Aiken company, may have to resign under pressure. He ran for adjutant general last summer. His command sent in tc Gov. Blease late to-day the following petition, in part: "We, the majority of the members of the first company Coast Artillery Reserve, N. G. S. C., acting undei the.provisions of section 52 military code of South Carolina do most respectfully petition that you order ar election for captain of said company to fill the place of the present incumbent. John Maxwell Richardson, and we give our reasons which we believe to be good and sufficient grounds foe the necessity for a change. "That the said John Richardson is personally objectionable to the majority of the company because of his general incompetency as a commanding officer as shown in the official report of Col. Springs, made aftei the encampment held in June 1910, at Battery Capron. "That Captain Richardson,' who has always acted and is now treasurer of the company, has been asked on several occasions for a financial statement of the company funds but up to the present time he has not rendered same. "We feel that the company has been done a great injustice by the delay of said statement. "His method of dealing with his men is arbitrary and unjust, causing great dissatisfaction among the men of the company, arouses antagonism and encouraees insubordination and makes it impossible to get desirable recruits, which could be easily done under a different commander. "Captain Richardson tendered his resignation and an election was ordered by General Jones but was rescinded upon request of Captain Richardson to the great injury, of the company." The governor sent a letter to Captain Richardson calling his attention to section 52, which says that when a majority of the members of a command ask for a resignation it shall be handed in. FACES BURGLARY CHARGE. Negro Arrested at Charleston Had Stolen Jewelery from Aiken. . Aiken, June 28.?Edward Harris, who was arrested Sunday in Charles ton, is wanted on a serious offense in Aiken. He is now in the Aiken jail, and is charged with grand larceny. Sunday morning Harris was seen by Officer Patterson at the passenger depot with a heavy grip. He suspected the negro of selling liquor and kept a surveillance on him but could find nothing in his subsequent actions to justify him in making an arrest. When the morning train left for Charleston the negro got on it and carried with* him Willie Uliphant. A few minutes after the train left the officers received word that a store had been robbed and Mr. Patterson at once suspected Harris of the robbery and telegraphed to Charleston for the, arrest of the two negroes. On getting off the train they were arrested and were bqpught back to Aiken by Deputy Sheriff Kennedy. In Harris' possession was found about $30 worth of jewelry and small articles, all of which were identified as being the property of the South Carolina pawnshop. The officers believe that Harris is one of those who have been making systematic robbery of the Main street stores. Sayings of Famous Men. * Methuselah: "Do you call that a new story: i neara it yuu years ago." Buffalo Bill: "Hair cut? No you ?ourd head! Shampoo." Shakespeare: t'Let me see?how did I spell my name the last time I siged my stuff?" Champ Clark: "Doctor, I suppose I'll have to show you my tongue, but I know what you will say."

When a man starts in to make money he also makes enemies. Don't judge a tree by its leaves. It is the fruit that counts. Every once in so often the straight and narrow path seems to pitch over a precipice. How giddy a man feels when he hears of a baby being named after him. Second love is like second childhood?a skim milk affair, at best. A dog isn't a dentist, even if he does occasionally insert teeth. A man can always please a woman by telling her that she pleases him. Did you ever see a self-made man who was dissatisfied with the job? Occasionally a girl points the finger of scorn to show off her rings. DIAMOND FOUND IN ARKANSAS. 1 Flawless Blue-White Stone Estimated to be Worth $9,000. Little Rock, Ark., June 21.?A , 14-karat blue-white diamond was , found yesterday in the Mauney dia; mond fields in Pike county and was shipped to New York to-day. ; The stone was washed from a ton of dirt across the line from the i Ozark Diamond Mine Company's - property.

Glendale, Ore., June 29.?Appar ently mistaking the first section of northbound passenger train No. 16 on the Southern Pacific railroad for a southbound train said to be carry; ing a shipment of $400,000 in gold ; dust from Seattle to San Francisco, two robbers held up the northbound i train last night near West Fork, an isolated station in Cow creek canyon. The robbers rifled the mail car, blowing up the safe, and made away with the registered mail. They tried to secure entrance to the express car, but were foiled by Messenger Robb, who refused to open the door despite threats that they would use dynamite if he resisted. The robbers after fruitlessly prying with a crowbar at the side door of the car, finally desisted and decamped with the loot secured from the mail <?ar. The amount taken by the robbers can not be ascertained at this time. This train carries in its registered mail the cash from Southern Oregon postoffices to Eugene, Ore., which is their depository, and this was probably included in the mail stolen. The robbers boarded the train at West Fork while the engine was taking water. Soon after it had got under way they crawled over the tender into the cab and directed the engineer to stop the train. This done, one of the men kept the engineer and fireman under cover witft his revolver while the other one went back and uncoupled the mail and baggage cars. Then the engineer was ordered to pull these cars some distance up the track, where he was again ordered to stop. The robbers went back to the mail car and lining the mail clerks up took the registered mail pouches and dynamited the 21 ? _ man car saie. The noise of the explosion warned Messenge Robb of what was taking place and when the demand came' for him to open his door he made on response. r \ The conductor, of the train, as soon as he discovered what had taken place, went back to West Fork, where he notified Glendale and surrounding pointg. Posses have been organized to pursue the robbers. A Southern Pacific train was held up and robbed two weeks ago not far from the scene of last night's robbery. * Drowned in Mill Pond. Blacksburg, June 28.?On Sunday morning Otis Moore, a clerk in the freight office of the Southern railway at this place, and R. S. Cooksay, the station agent, went bathing in Buffalo creek, near the bridge flour mill. Young Moore ventured too far into the deep water of the mill pond and was drowned about 9:30 o'clock. Mr. Cooksay made heroic efforts to rescue his companion, but of no avail, as the unfortunate youth was seized with cramps and sank to the bottom after the third effort to regain the bank of the creek. Otis Moore was 19 years of age. He graduated with honor last year from the Blacksburg high school, ] and was just entering upon a promising young manhood. \ Complaint Against Railroads. New York June 29.?Copies of complaints filed with the interstate commerce commission by 76 merchants and southern growers of water melons, canteloupes and muskmelons against the Pennsylvania, Southern, Seaboard Air Line and 122 other railroad companies were made public here to-day. The complainants ask for a reducton in the prevailing freight rates on melons to this city and rtthor on?rern and northern points. They allege that New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities are discriminated against by the defendant railroad, cities in this territory are compelled to pay 45 cents per 100 lbs. from the southern producing points whereas western and central points are charged only 32 cents per 100 pounds. * . - - ' '"J LIVE WIRE KILLED MAN.

It is said the other man was not injured. In an instant grandstand and bleachers were in a state of confusion. Women shrieked and hundreds of others rushed on the field for the scene of the accident. John Burke, centre fielder on the Columbia team, was one of the first to go to the res tuc. A man climbed the pole with a rope and attempted to tie it around the dead man's body to lower it to the ground, but his body was so limp that it slipped out, falling into the crowd.
