New York.—Colonel Roosevelt
refuses to break the steadfast si
lence lie has maintained in regard
to the Taft administration. Asked
in his office at The Outlook what he
thought of the. report that Taft had
practically made up his mind to re
fuse to allow his name to be offered
in 1912 for renomination in order
to clear the way fori Qoosevelt’s re
turn to the presidency, he said:
“There have been a great many
stories printed and there will be a
great many more. I can not afford
to discuss them.”
This was all he would say, and
he offered the same statement in
reply to a request for comment on
President Taft’s Jetter to an Iowa
insurgent, made public a few days
ago, in which the president declared
‘ that no distinction would he drawn
hereafter between insurgents and
fegu'ars in the distribution - of fed

York' republican county cdmmikt'ee,
with Whom he went over in detail
the poli.ical situation in New York
state. After Mr. Griscom had left
the ex-president' indicated that in
spite of any claims the Woodruff'
Barnes faction has advanced, he
felt that actual conditions favored
the principles he advocates, and
intimated his belief that his end of
the party would he in control when
the republican state convention met
in Saratoga on September 27.
Barnes Raps Colonel.
William Barnes, Jr., issued a
statement from republican head
quarters taking another crack at
the colonel, and the colonel answer
ed back; saying that he was very
happy indeed because he could not
number Mr. Baynes among iris
friends.
Barnes said,that the future of the
republican party in this state would
either'be doomed or brightened by
the platform adopted and the offi
cials selected at the state conven
tion.
“Ibis is tiffs turning-point in the
history of the party,” said he.
“Whether it will follow the radical
policies of Roosevelt and lose the,
strategic position it has held in this
state for many years as the party of
sanity will be seen thenV;’>’
“I am indeed blessed in my . ene
mies,” said Roosevelt. “1 am gen
uinely grateful to . Mr. Barnes for
having unconsciously made the is
sue so clear between what he calls
‘Rooseveltism’on the one side and
on the other side the boss with big
interests which seek to control pol
itics as well ns the bosses.”

A. D. Oliver, whose career as a
banker and develo :er at Climax is
familiar to the newspaper readers of

penitentiary and is now probably
looking for another good opening in
the world’;of high finance. Oliver
was convicted on one or more of the
numerous indictments against him
and sentenced to a term in-the pen
itentiary. It seems that ho was
sent to Toombs bounty to serve Jiis
sentence, and it was from there that
he made his ^escape. The Bain

nouncement of his escape:

One of four letters written by Dr.
Harris before taking poison was ad

his life. Other letters, which w’ere

to Dr. W. P. Lovejoy, of this city,
and one to his wife, Mrs. L. H.
Harris, noted authoress, in Nash
ville, Tcnn.
Dr. Harris came to Pine Log
at the invitation of his friend, Dr.
Lovejoy, seeking to regain health.
Board was secured for him at the
home of Mr. Anthony and he seemed
to he improving until last Sunday,
when upon being found missing'
from the house, a search was made
and Dr. Harris was found in a stupor
in a cotton field’. Physicians de
clared the stupor to be the result of
morphine poisoning and every ef
fort was made to save his life.

BANKER KEPI HIS
mm IK m box
Owned Stock in Two Banks, But
kept His Wealth Secreted, in
His Desk.
Dublin, Ga.—Although be was
vice president and a director in the
Bank of Dudley, this county, owned
a good block of the stock in the
bank and owned stock in one of the
Dublin banks, Thomas Haskins,
who died a short time ago, had no
money on deposit in cither institu
tion, hut kept a vtjry large sum in a
tin box in an old desk in his room.
The morning after the funeral of
Mr. Haskins this box was opened
and $11,400 in money and notes
i hiiiiiuiel never slept to keep him
from sleeping. ; The sheriff
reidly up against it hard, as every
body^ iiiO*f*»j$iectio!i thought that

and mortgages to the amount of
$18,000 were found.
After the death of Mr. Haskins a
relative stated that $30,000 ought
to be found in the desk. Mrs.
Haskins would not open it, hut
asked some friends to take charge
and count the money. They open
ed the box that was kept in the
desk and they were very much sur
prised to find such a ldrge sum off
money and otherjyaluable assets.
Mr. Ilaslfins some months ago
sold a plantation to a gentleman
living then in Atlanta; There was
$9,000 due and the purcharser came
to Dublin to take up his note. He
tendered a check dir an Atlanta
bank. This was declined and the
money demanded. The hank was
telegraphed to and sent the money
by-ex press. There was $5,000 in
currency, $2,000 in gold and $2',000
silver in the 'package;' Mr. Haskins
put the gold in onu pocket, tire cur
rency in another and carried the
silver to a bank.. The next day he
checked it out, however, and car
ried the money home with liim. 4.
It is not probable that Mr. Has
kins distrusted the banks, but he
could not break the habits of a life
time.
Mrs. Haskins very promptly sent
the money and notes and mortgages
to a bank vault£ov safe-keeping.
