Warned a Year Ago Against Unusual Activities. Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 21. — Congressman S. Anderson Rodden bery,.of the Second district of Geor gia, is expected to live hut a few days at the most according to re ports from his home this afternoon. He has been in Thomasville for several weeks suffering with heart trouble, and other complications have set in which precluded his re covery according to the statement of attending physicians. He had a Severn sinking spell this afternoon and for some minutes he was expected to die, but later ral lied and is resting more comforta bly. His illness is the result cf his ex cessively hard fought campaign three years ago and the steady and persistent effort he has made since entering Congress. Lie was warned a year ago against any unusual activities but this came during his most telling attempts in congress against pensions and he disregarded the warning in the face of duty. Several weeks ago he was so weak and prostrated that he was forced to give up and return home where he has hoped to regain his former strength. He has continued to struggle val iantly against his malady, but to no avail, all chance of his recovery be ing practically abandoned. Doctors say he may live for several weeks, and then again that death may come at any moment. It is to be sincerely hoped that Mr. Roddenbery will recover from his present illness. His death would he a distinct loss to the country. He is an ac tive, energetic and forceful Con gressman, who fought hard for those issues he thought to be right. He battled for white supremacy in this country and was very severe in condemnation of those states that allow intermarriage between negro men and white women.

Harry 1i haw Harry Thaw escaped from Mat teawan and was captured in Cana da. The glorious state of New York is trumping up fake indict ments and charges to insure his re turn to a den of howling maniacs. The friends of Stanford White are busy. Much has been said of the money used by Thaw to escape the madhouse, but nothing has been written in the daily press of the money White’s friends have spent and will spend to rivet the iron mask of insanity upon Harry Thaw, so that White may go down in his tory as the victim of a mad man. They are determined that the great architect shall not appear in his true colors, a lecherous viper who ruined another man’s home and wrecked his life. So far their gold has been successful and Thaw is once more in the toils. If ever a state committed a crimson crime against a/ in, New York is that slate and !a v Thaw is the victim. During the long struggle, the love and devotion of Mrs. Mary Thaw, Harry’s mother, have illumined the darkness of despair, and this alone has kept him from going stark crazy. Greater devotion lias never be3n told in song and story. Strange that none of the newspa pers have considered her feelings. A noble women, Mary Copley Thaw is as loyal a mother as ever kissed the lips of a babe. In this tight she has the sympathy of The Iconoclast. She deserves to win. — Iconoclast.

Washington, Sept. 17. —Weeks, months or perhaps years, might roll hy before the supreme court would act finally, should Hairy K. Thaw appeal from the decisions in the habeas corpus proceedings wow pending in New Hampshire. Of late, however, the court has dispos ed of such important cases quickly. Whether an appeal to the su preme court from the action of the federal judge, Aldrich, before whom the habeas corpus proceedings w r ere brought, may be granted will rest entirely, it is said, with Judge Aid rich himself. A few years ago an appeal from the denial of the writ of habeas orpus was granted as a matter of i iglit, courts regarded as travesties on justice, and the law was changed to give the judge passing on the case the power to say whether there was sufficient doubt, as to the points raised to jtstify an appeal. The supreme court does not meet before October 13. There are now more than 700 cases awaiting dispo sition, and it will take the court more than two years to pass on them. Upon request of either the state of New Hampshire or of New York, the court might advance the case for consideration about the first Monday in December. In the or dinary course of events a decision would be handed down in the fol lowing January. Much doubt is expressed here as to whether tne New York authori ties could find a way to have the higher courts review Judge Ald rich’s action, should he release Thaw from custody.

There will he a constitutional election for President in Mexico, Oct. 26, and it is not likely that Huerta will be a candidate. Reports that Huerta intended to secure the election of some friend who might subsequently appoint Huerta to a position in the Cabinet and resign in his favor, are causing some uneasiness, for if the election is constitutional the position of the United States toward Huerta might be embarrassing. In any event recognition would not be accorded Huerta. SERVICES AT THE METHODIST CHURCH Sunday School, 10 a. m. Morning Services, 11 a. m. Junior League, 3:00 p. m. Preaching at night, 8:00.
