Judge Russell's speech was along
his usual lines and free from mud-
slinging and abuse. He denied that
he was running In the interest of any
other candidate than himself, and
scored ail the other candidates. He
denounced, amid tremendlous ap¬
plause, the disfranchisement fraud as
supported by Hoke Smith, and said
it was absolutely no Issue in the cam¬
paign. His reference to Hoke Smith’s
negro appointments and to Hoke’s
inconsistency upon several questions
brought forth cheering. Two or three
times during the speaking the rain
came down, but the crowd did not
leave. There was much enthusiasm
throughout the speech. There was
nothing but the speech to draw the
people, but the audience was esti¬
mated at from twenty-five hundred
to three thousand, or more than
twice the number that heard Hoke

New Qualification for the Civil Ser¬
vice.
Washington, July 31.—-Marknianship
calmness in time of danger, and natiye
resourcefulness, are qualities which
the civil service commission holds at
a premium. In examinations to be
held at Asheville, Charlotte, States¬
ville, Salisbury and Louiston, N. C.,
on Aug. 29, for positions In the Inter¬
nal revenue service the militant qual¬
ities enumerated above will under the
general head of "experience and train¬
ing,”, count aa much In the test of
candidates for field deputies as spell¬
ing, arithmetic, and report writing.
Ex-soldiers and scouts of the regu¬
lar army are desired. Field deputies
are the officers who have to raid
moonshine stills and round up gener¬
ally desperate characters engaged In
crime against the revenue laws.
The Asheville district was recently
brought under'the civil service, by
order of the president, because some
of the officers had been detected in
swindling the government.
The examinations are the first
where the accomplishment of good
gunplay is advertised for. The com¬
mission acknoi wedges that that with
honesty. Is what they seek under the
head of "training and experience.”

NEGRO .SUSPECT » SHOT.
Atlanta, July 31.—[.Special.]-Tom
Poole, of Lakewood, has just telephon¬
ed Chief of County Police Turner that
a negro suspected of being the one guil¬
ty of an assault on Mies Poole had been
shot and killed by a posse. No partic¬
ulars were obtained and Intense excite¬
ment is said to prevail In the neighbor¬
hood.
Atlanta, -July 31.—According to a
telephone message sent to the police
station and to the sheriff's office, An¬
nie Poole, the pretty 15-year-old daugh¬
ter of John Poole ,was criminally as¬
saulted Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock near her home, one-half mile
from lAkewood.
The negro, after accompllbing the
crime, made his escape Into the
woods. The young lady was able to
give only a meagre description of
the brute, owing to her excitement and
nervous condition.
Officers hurried to the scene and
neighbors quickly organised into a
posse to pursue the brute. If over¬
taken, the criminal will probably be
lynched, as the citizens are enraged
over the bftital crime.
Miss Poole was on her way to a
neighbor's house when the criminal
attack was made.
The unknown negro met her in a
field, which she bad to cross to reach
the neighbor's house, and overcome
her by hi* brutal strength. She
screamed and struggled against the
brute, but no one was near. By the
time the little girl had been able to
acquaint her family with what had
happened, the negro had scaped to the
wood#.
No time was loot in notifying po¬
lice headquarters and both city and
county officers were dispatched to the
scene. Neighbors Joined the officers
and soon an enraged band of officers
and citizens was in pursuit.
The little girl Is being given every
attention, but Is in a highly nervous
WILL FOUND IN
BRIDE’S
it Had Remained in Odd Hiding Place
For Seventy Yaprs, Through
Three delations.
A will drawn by Jules Chsmbord of
Montreal seventy years ago has boon
found In a garter worn by hta bride
and subseqfiently used by tbre* mem¬
bers of bis family or descendants on
their weliding days. Tbe garter
made ih France and was worn
times before it came into tbe posses¬
sion of Chambord.
At tbe time Chambord was married
bp owned a little property which be
agreed to leave to bis wife in event
his death. It was known that he drew
a will, but when be died in 1881 the
document could not be found, and tbe
property was equally divided between
the widow and two children. Henry
and Marguerite. Henry married and
was tbe father of four children. Jules,
the eldest, married a woman named
Laporte. The Issue of this marriage
was six children, all of whom died of
smallpox except Henry. To Henry was
handed down the garter, his mother on
her deathbed telling blm to present It
to bis bride elect and enjoin her to
wear it on her wedding day, as It
would bring luck.. This hedfirorolsed
to do. v
Henry became engaged to Marie St.
Gabriel and on tbe day they were, to
be marriefi gave tbe garier to her. In
appearance'lt looked much like a brace¬
let, only wider than is commonly worn,
ft was made of a heavy silver band
with a gold buckle, to which It was at¬
tached by a double hinge. After
wedding It was noticed that tbe hinge
had been sprung, and the garter was
sent to a Montreal jeweler to be
paired. It was tbe Jeweler who
covered tbe -wilt ______________
In removing the platinum pin which
hek! the buckle an inner rim of
garter slipped from Its place, and
document, a thin parchment, was
closed. Tbe writing was still
snd the will carried out the
of Jules Chambord to leave alt
property to his wtf*. As nothing
mains of the property the will Is
course valueless.
