Florence. Oct. 13.?Mr. Bonsai, the president ef the South Carolina Western road was In the city yester da> and Im-iiu ,i-.rv. d h\ .1 r?>pr. sen'.a tlve of The Times what was the pros? pect for the completion of the r >ad to Allisons, eald h? could not give anything positive on that matter just now, but that the road would be ex? tended from Florence* Just as soon as all arrangements could be completed. He said that the trestle over the river at Allison was about complete now, and he hoped to have the two enda of the line connected and trains running from Georgetown to Mullins. He said that the people of the low? er part of the coun y need not be disheartened or dlscocouraged for ho was doing all that he could to carry out the pledges and promises. The people of the city need not be impa? tient or fearful of loosing the busi? ness of that section by reason of the completion of the Mull ns line. It would all come out well In the end. Mr Bonsai waa very much pleas? ed with the business that the road had received In Florence and with the patience of the people in the vex? atious delays that had been occas? ioned by matters over which 'to had no control, and he would see that their kindnes? would not he left un? rewarded by the attention that his road could and would give to the ?city In time. There were many thing* In which the road was interested and hoped to see done in time, but he could not talk of them now. He denied the current report that hit road waa mak? ing a survey from Jefferson to Mon? roe, for an extension, but ha said that such a propor tion waa very at? tractive. The nur\cy that is being made on the Q M. and C. road Is for the pur? pose of getting profiles to furnish the railroad commission, as required by law. and his engineer corps waa be? ing used by the C. M. and C for the work. He could not as yet say anything about the proponed road from Lydia to Tlmmonsvtlle, but It would be built as soon as possible. The route had not been definitely determined upon, the people of Lamar were anx? ious to have It go through that town and If It did the route would be two miles longer, eighteen Instead of six? teen miles. In tho matter of the passenger de? pot here he said that the people bad naturally grown Impatient, and he appreciated their wishes in the mat? ter, but that if they would Just wait a little longer they would not lose by the delay, for he would give them B dep-.t to be proud of. better than he could give them Just now. He had talked the matter BjVOf with the busi i sees men and the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and they full/ understood snd entered Into his plans in che matter. Mr. Bonsai and his chief engineer were returning from a trip over the Mullins extension and were on their wsv ?o Huniter. tr . ?>? m- looking for? ward to basing a schedule put on to Fumter In h very short while now.

P?sgah, Oct. 14.?It Is to be hoped that the Intense hot weaher for this time of the year that we have ex? perienced since September 1st will now cease, as warm weather can do no crops any good In this section. On many places cotton has all been gathered. The crop Is light, more so, generally, than In many years. Not near the corn is raised aa last year. Talking with several prominent far? mers we can't *ee where the farmers are so well off as th*e newspapers make out they are. the fact Is, we have got In an extravagant way of living and it takes a lot more to live on than It used to. Economy Is not practiced. Too much money Is spent on things that could be done without. Very llt?e Interest is being taken in the election tomorrow of Attorney Qensral. Peeples seems to be the favorite in this section. Lyons as? sertions that he would put the stripes on the grafters did not pan out. Po pltlcal promises of that kind don't amount to a row of pins.

So I have asked Senator Clifton to offer a bill e pea ling it for all the names can be voted on one ticket as in the primary. He has promised to do so as well as try and amend the primary law In many particulars. There were many Irregularities In the primary of Au? gust 27. as there has been in all pri? maries, but 1 don't believe there was any intetion to cheat at the polls, if so, both sides lid it for Jones increas? ed over Featherstone's vote 16.000, and Hlease went beyond his vote two renfl ago 14.000.

Oct. 16.- The Sew JTork Qlante, pennant winners of the Na? tional league, admtnlatered a cruah Ing defeat to the Boston Americans today by a score of 11 to 4 in the seventh game <d* the world'a series., Tonight Rnds the Giants and the lted Sox waiting to engage in the final combat hers t. morrow, that is ex-1 peoted to determine which team shall , he the world's champions tf 1911. The series now .stands: Boston three ?amoi Won, New York three games on; one contest a tie. "Smoky Joe" Wood, the Red Sox star twlrler, who already had beaten the Qlantl twice in the sories, was sent out to pitch the Red Sox into the world's champlonahlp. His end was to * .ft and so sudden that the 0.000 itrebCatora sat in silence at Fenway park as they saw his delivery batted to all parts of the field, and six Giant players were over the home plate before the last New Yorker was put out In the first inning. The Red Sox never recovered fiom that first inning, and though they peppered away fitfully at Tesreau's moist ball, they never came within threatening distance of the Giants. Manager McGraw In the coacher's box down off third base directed the attack on Wood. He gave orders to hit the first ball pitched, und, with few exceptions, all the nine men who bat? ted in the first Inning rapped the first ball sent up. The shower of hits, combined with a double steal, gave New York six runs. Thereafter Wood was removed and Charlie Hall, Boa ton's relief pitcher, was sent into the box. Some of the Giants seemed to think Wood had broken under the strain of his two earlier games. His curve ball had little break to It and the Giants had no trouble hitting his fast ones. T*he Bed S ?x have Hugh Bedient ready to go on the firing line for the deciding game tomorrow, with Wood prepared to go to his assistance, while the Glajus will depend on Mathewson, with Marquard held in reserve. Tesreau held the whip hand throughout today's game. His moist [ ball broke sharply over the plate and the Red Sox were unable to fathom his delivery when hits would have scored runs. "The Bed Sox have broken and are on the run," said Manager McGraw tQfttght He added that with the same aggressive attack made tomorrow the Giants would be carried to victory. McGraw said his club was throughly Imbued with the fighting spirit, and that the players showed a return to the form that had won them so many Victories in the National league in the spring and early summer. Manager Btahl remarked: "All clubs have form reversals; their rebound is always violent. Tomorrow will tell an? other story of the Bed Sox." The attendance at today's game was 32aS94, while the receipts amounted to $57.190. Of this sum each club re? ceives $16,731.10, while the national commission's share is $5.719.60.

Former Presi? dent Roosevelt was resting fairly saay tonight and his physicians said after a day of nervous strain that they were pleased with his condition.

His pulse at 10 o'clock was 86, lor 14 counts above normal; and two counts above the record two hours after he was shot. His temperature | was 99..: or three-fifths of a degree I above normal.

A rise In temperature followed, together with slight local irritations. Otherwise the coloned exhibited no symptoms from ! tho antitoxin, although the surgeons I were prepared for the slight nausea I and dizziness which sometimes comes t after the treatment. The three-fifths t ; of a degree of temperature. It is said, ? was not caused by the condition of the wound, as up to the time of the Injection the patleat's temperature was practically normal. The Increase in the rate of his pulse is n??t ac? counted for. LITTLE GIRL BITTEN BY DOG, Dog Being Watched to See if it De? velops Symptoms of Hydrophobia.

X?".- York, Oct. 15.?Gamblers, and not Police Lieut. Chan, Becker, In itigated the murder of Herman R i - enthal, according to the line of de? fense Indicated by counsel for the accused officer at today's tension of bis trial. A large sum of money, raised by gamblers, was paid to get Rosenthal out of Now York, when be began to "squeal" on the subject of police protection, and when he took the money and then refused to go the gamblers threatened with the loss of their protection, plotted and execut? ed hly murder through the agency of the four gunmen. At least such was the outline of the defense implied in questions put by John P. Mclntyre, Becker's coun? sel, to Sam Schopps on the witness I stand today. Schopps was not given an oppor , tunlty to say whether he had knowl? edge that such was the origin of the murder plot, for Justice Goff excluded the questions. The witness merely looked bored. He had spent practically the entire day on the stand corroborating testi? mony of Jack Rose, "Bridgie" Webber and Harry Vallon, the trio of self confessed accomplices who accuse Becker of having inspired the mur? der. Schepps added another link to the chain of evidence against the de? fendant by swearing that Becker had asked him if i.he gunmen had been paid for their work. He '.lso testified he had been the bearer of a reassur? ing message from Becker to Jatck Rose when the lattei was in hiding "ready to commit suicide" at the home of Harry Pollock. ScheppB' part In the plot was that of messenger for Rose In rounding up the gunmen, but he denied he knew the killing of Rosenthal was on foot. He did not fully comprehend, he said, until Jack Rose had made a "clean breast of It" I to him, and then, on "the advice of Counsel," ho got out of town. Mr. Mclntyrea efforts to break down the testimony of the witne? resulted In frequent word tilts )>- - twe, n them, that Justier Goff was obliged to curtail. Becker's attorney tried again and ? gain to make Schopps admit he had been an accomplice in the crime, but the witness appeared always with a ready explanation for the part tie had taken. "Jack Hose, told me to do It," was his most frequent excuse f??r his vari? ous actione. LYON LEADS l\ COUNTY. About loo Voten DtsTOrenee with Fourteen BoSttS Heard from in County. Attorney General J.
