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 eral patronage.

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 .

Oliver, whose career as a banker and develo :er at Climax is familiar to the newspaper readers of this section, 1'm's escaped from the 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.

Other letters, which w’ere not opened, were addressed, one to the coroner of Bartow county, one 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’.

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 i ijiyer cqfll |b jhrough key MEg .•■»ey Hues. 'I he state that recipes the gentleman will never be forgotten at all. This will possibly close the chapter in Geor gia, but as to other states, may the Lord have mercy on them. ' ■ ■ 7* a m ■ 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.
