TEN CIRCfja EMPLOYES HELD IN AUGUSTA JAIL. tnguata Chief Sa>s Ho Has Indispu? table Evidence Which Will Convict Each <>f the Eleven of Being Im? plicated in Robbery ami H illing of Paul Williams. Augusta, Ga., <><'t. ?"1 have in-! disputable evidence," said George P. Elliott, chief ?.t the Augusta police department, "which will convict each of the ll employes of the Hagenbeck Wallace circus, whom I now have under arresti of being Implicated in the robbery and mureler of Paul A. Williams of Columbia." Chief Elliott gave out his state> ment tonight after a busy day spent in ferreting out the facts connected with the murder of Paul Williams, the 18-year-old report elerk at the freight depot of the Semthern rail? road in Columbia, who was shot and robbed while riding on the Hagen beck-Wallace circus train between Columlba and Augusta early Sunday morning. "I admit." ocntinued Chief Elliott "that I have been up against one of the hardest propostitlons I ever tackled. The circus employes know each other merely by nicknames and sometimes three or four men have the same name. Their ignor? ance of each other is astonishing. Trying to find a circus man Is like going down Into an ant hill and searching for a particular ant." Chief Elliott has practically all the facts about the riot on the circus train, but could give out very little for publication tonight on account of the peculiar character of the situa? tion with which ho if dealing. He now has In the Richmond county lail ten employes of the circus, three srhite men and seven negroes. He Is :onivnced that one of them fired the mot whtch killed Paul Williams. In regard to the part which the Augusta police played in the capture of the ten suspects, Chief Elliott laid last night: "The first intimation of the affair which I had was a telegram sent Trom Warrenville and signed by J. Weekley, telling me to search the first section of the circus train for the body of Paul A. Williams. I got a list of the men on this train, which showed where they slept. When the train arrived I had 2i men arrested who had slept Sunday night on the flat cars, on one of which young Wil- J Hams was murdeded. After an ex- j aminatlon 1 let all the men except eight go free. I wanted three more j men, two of them white and the oth ef one a negro. I located one of the j white men in Alken and the other be? tween Alken and North Augusta. They were arrested this afternoon. I expect to get the negro." Both of the two white men ar- , rested had blood on their clothing. , One wore a battered and blood Stained straw hat. One of the pair was a smooth-shaven man, with a pointed nose and chin, which corre ?ponded to the description given by J. C. Weekley of the man who in? vited young Williams and him to go to Augusta on the circus train. P. H. Corley, sheriff of Lexington county, with his special deputy, E. E. Corley, is in Augusta, bnerlff Corley will bring the prisoners back to Lexington tomorrow afternoon. A white employe of the circus named Harrison, who was knocked on the head by a negro In the riot on the circus train, is being cared for at police headquarters. He claims that he was robbed of $12.50. i The circus officials and the special agents of the Southern railway have t all assisted the Augusta police de? partment In drawing the drag net. One of the employes of the circus said today that the negroes in a riot similar to the one Sunday morning killed a railorad man at Greensboro, | Tnd.. while ho was proteeting the property of his company from the marauelers. ?The rt'eisint purgative effort ey- I oerieneed hv nil who iho Crnmhor laln's Storniert nnd Liver Tablets, and the hnnRhv cordirlon of the hodv and m'nd which tiiev create, makes One feel Joyful, Sold hv W.

Funeral Services Hold at Church of 1 the Good Sheperd. - I Columbia, Oct. 4.?From the church of the Good Shepherd this morning were conducted the funeral services over the remains Of Paul Williams, the young Southern Railway clerk, who was foully murdered Sunday morning on the Hagenbcek-Wallace circus train several miles below Co? lumbia. The Rev. Chat. A. Wood sou, pastor of the church of the Good Shepherd, conducted the ser? vices, assisted by the Rev. O. K. Wat? son, pastor of Washington Street Methodist church. Many of the young maT.'s friends were present to pay the list tribute, and the church was crowded. The awfulness Of the calamity, together with the bereavement of two families, caused much sorrow in the entire city. Mr. Williams, had he lived, would have soon married Miss Marie Weaver of Charleston. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Weaver, parents of the young woman, arrived in the city yesterday, and were present at the funeral to? day, together with Mr. and Mrs. Wil? liams of Athens, Ga. Miss Weaver, It was learned, had .im t finished writing a letter to Mr. "Williams, when the message came Informing the family of his death. "I d'.d not know how to tell my daughter of It," said Mrs. Weaver, who Is In Columbia, "and when she was told, it made her ill." The young woman was so prostrated with grief that she was unable to atend the funeral. The Georgetown Plan. Enterprising Georgetown county j will bear watching. Georgetown's j land development Idea is going to succeed, and its success means vattt- j able results to Georgetown's growth, i Because of Charleston's superior lo-1 cation and greater progress in drain- j age work, Georgetown's success will leave this county little excuse for not taking up the farm settlement scheme and making it flourish here. Georgetown needs smaller farming communities honeycombed In its timber denuded territory, and so , does Charleston. Steady growth within our limits appears to be an assured fact, for an Intelligent and \ energetic campaign will soon be opened by a trained commercial sec? retary to accelerate the pace already set by our awakened spirit of prog? ress. But if our suburban territory be not peopled with prosperous agri? culturists, industrious and in strong numbers, we must remain more or less isolated, and we may hardly hope to increase in population so rapidly as our superb natural advantages warrant. There is ample territory in Char-1 leston county Just as there is in Georgetown county suited admirably 19f small farming. Charleston has the advantage over Georgetown of. a well developed drainage system, and more railroad facilities. What Charleston lacks at present is a unit? ed effort to advertise our farm lands and a disposition to provide capital to help a good class of settlers start on ?. solid financial basis. Georgetown business men have ad? vanced necessary money, they have secured special rates into their terri? tory, and they have covered a wide territory with advertising matter. Moreover, 7,000 acres of land have been set aside for farm development, and this land is being surveyed and j drained. Georgetown banks stand i ready to lend money to the newcom- j ers, and Georgetown citizens wait to i welcome the strangers to promised , prosperity. In a few months thS ? fruit of this enterprise will ripen. Charleston should keep in close touch j with its quality and*value.?Charles-J ton Post. Mr. E. T.
