The fence or no fence ques
tion is one of the greatest
problems the voters of Mur¬
ray county have had to solve,
and one that can stir up more
strife to the sduare inch than
any other known thing today.
Why, just let a crowd of men
get together and go to arguing
and the sulphurous smoke
gets so thick around about
that you might imagine your¬
self in reach of Mount Vesu
vius. But seriously, this ques
tion which will be settled b\
ballot on July 4 is one of vital
importance to the farmer in
general and the tenant espe¬
cially. Some may argue that
as timber is getting scarce,
sooner or later it will be forc
ed upon us, this no fence law,
and that we had just as well
begin the use now and save
our timber for something else.
It has been a time-honored
custom for the farmer to fence
his crop and turn his cattle
out on the range and let them
hustle for a living, and let it
still be so. It is true that oc¬
casionally an old cow breaks
into your field and maybe it’s
Sunday, and muddy at that.
Then you want no fence law
with a vengeance. But when
you get cooled down a little
and think the matter over you
will see that it is better to run
old Muley out than it is to
have no Muley to run out,
which would be the case if
we had the stock law. Broth¬
er, don’t do it; we have been
doing very well since away
back sometime in the year
1492 with . . a fence , and , let s
just keep the law like it is,
only make it a little more
strict and have better fences.

For Comptroller General
Mficially Announced His Candidacy for
Office Sunday Morning.
Augusta, Ga., June 16.—Vin¬
cent T. Sanford, of Rome, Ga.,
vill tomorrow morning officially
innounce his candidacy for comp¬
troller general of Georgia. He
will make the race against the
incumbent, Hon. W. A. Wright,
ind the race promises to be an
interesting one.
Mr. Sanford has been promi¬
nently connected in state and
toiinty politics for the past sev¬
eral years, and is by no means a
stranger to the people of Georgia.
He was oue of the four dele¬
gates from the state at large to
the national Democratic conven¬
tion in Kansas City in 1900,when
Bryan received the second nom¬
ination for the presidency, and
the Georgia delegation that time
was headed by Hon. Boykin
Wright, of Augusta.
Mr. Sanford has entered the
••ace at the urgent request of his
friends and will make an active
ampaign till the close of the
lontest. He announces that it is
upon the urgent call that he has
entered the race.
Mr. Sanford is is Augusta oil a
visit to his mother and brothers.
He will be here until the first of
next week, then he will go to
Orawfordville, which he will
term his campaign headquarters
on account of his family being
there.
Mr. Sanford was brought prom¬
inently before the public several
months ago when he shot and
killed Wright, the Southern tick¬
et agent at Rome, on a charge of
breaking up his home. He was
tried on the charge of murder
an jj a mistrial resulted and Mr.
SatHord was acquitted.

UNION ADDS ANOTHER STAR
Roosevelt Signs the Oklahoma-lndian
Territory Bill.
Washington, June 16.—Anoth¬
er star was added to the union
today when President Roosevelt
signed the bill admitting Okla¬
homa and the Indian Territory as
one state. The measure also pro¬
vides that Arizona and New Mex¬
ico may be admitted to statehood
as the state of Arizona, provided
the people of the territories vote
in favor of admission on the terms
submitted to them by congrers.
The signing of the measure was
made the occasion of an interest
iug ceremony, Senator Bever
idge and Representative Hamil¬
ton, respectively chairmen of the
house and senate committees on
territories, who have worked long
and hard to bring about the e»
a ctf nent of the measure, wen
present, as also were Delegate
of Oklahoma, and a
(]e | egation <,f residents of Okla
|, mna; Delegate Andrews, of
New Mexico; Secretary Loeb and
several others.
The president used two pens in
signing the measure, writing his
first name, “Theodore,’ with a
solid gold pen presented by the
e e »e |e «' Amlona, and hi. to
name, “Roosevelt,” with an
, e , g quil|( tftken from an
American eagle in Oklahoma.
After signing the bill Freni
dent Roosevelt congratulated
Senator Beveridge and iiepio
sentative Hamilton on the torn
pletion of their long and arduous
labors in connection with the
measure. He expressed in strong
terms the hope that the p-ople
of Arizona and New Mexico would
avail themselves of the opportu¬
nity afforded them by the law to
come into the union as a state.
From every viewpoint he said he
regarded it as the thing for them
to do, as they were now offered
an opportunity which might not
again be offered in a score of
years. The president said* -too,
lie had a personal interest in the
admission of Arizona and New
Mexico, as many of the members
of his regiment, the Rough Rid
ers, resided in those territories.
He added that he Imped sincerely
the people of the territories would
not lose the opportunity thus
presenteg to them.

SNAKES AT $20 A FOOT
Big Ones Consequently Come High. Some
Snakes Sold by the Pound.
(Trom tbe New York Sun.)
“Snakes,” said a dealer in wild
animals and reptiles, “increase
in value out of all proportion to
their size. So while you could
buy a 7 -foot python for $12 you
couldn’t buy one of twice that
length for twice that price. A
14-foot python would be worth
$150, and a python 25 feet in
length would cost $500.
“Some sorts of smaller snakes
are regularly sold by the pound,
and we sometimes buy big snakes
in that way of sailors that bring
them in on ships coming from
snake countries. We weigli the
big snake in a bag and pav so
much a pound for it.
“But big snakes are not sold in
that way by dealers, nor are they
sold by the foot, though, of
course, the length governs the
snake’s value. Of two snakes of
the same length one might be
worth more money than the oth¬
er, for suakes vary in their phys¬
ical characteristics just as human
beings do, and their prices vary
accordingly.
“Of two big snakes of the same
length and the same thickness 1
one might weigh 50 pounds more j
than the other, and then of two
big snakes of the same length
one might be thin and spare of
body, while the other was thick
er and bulkier, and as between
two, other things being equal,
the bulkier snake would be worth
the more, because it would make
the more striking and imposing
show.
“Thus, while the length does
govern, it is not the only thing
to be taken into account, and so
big snakes are sold neither by
the pound nor by the foot, but at
prices fixed on each individual
snake.
“We import annually hundreds
of big snakes, the great majority
of them ranging in length be¬
tween 7 and 20 feet. The very
biggest snakes are becoming
scarcer and more difficult to ob¬
tain. Our collector, in India,
while in the course of that time,
he has gathered many big snakes,
has in the last six months ob¬
tained but one snake measuring
25 seet in length.
“Big snakes and little ones are
sold to zoological parks and to
show people all over the country
For the very largest snakes the
demand is greater than the sup¬
ply.” _

Four Killed While
Riding Upon Handcar
Engine Crashes into Pleasure Parly as
They Were Crossing a Bridge
Over a River.
Knoxville, Term., .June 17.—A
light engine on the new line of
the Louisville & Nashville rail¬
road in Polk county, played hav¬
oc Sunday morning with a pleas¬
ure party, who were riding a
handcar from their homes at
Patty, Term., to a nearby town.
The handcar, loaded with men,
women f and children, was crossing
a bridge over the Hiawassee river
when engine No. 558, with engi
n >er 0. Simpson at the throttle
j n c | iar g e „f Conductor T. It.
H«Uy. »*l* "»“"<• * "7 *"'
crashed into the handcar before
any of the party could jump to
safety.
As soon as the engine could be
stopped its awful harvest of
death was noted, for dead bodies
and injured persons had been
hurled in all directions. Four '
persons were instantly
S. M. Blankenship, Levi Worn
ack, Mamie Womack and I.
Brinkley.
The list of the injured are
rah Blankenship, .Jane Brinkley
and John Womack, all seriously.
All the victims of the accident
lived at a little place in Polk
county, known as Patty. J. H.
Brinkley was the only one of the
party who was employed by the
railroad company, the others
ing been invited to accompany
him on the fatal ride.

Knoxville, Tenn., June 18.*
fuller details of Sunday’s
dent on the Louisville & Nash
ville railroad bridge across the
Hiawassee river, when a handcar
loaded with people was run
by a train, show that six
were killed instead of four. The
list of victims was increased by
the deaths of Sarah Blankenship
and J. H. Brinkley, who, though
not instantly killed, as were the
others, died of their injuries
shortly after.
There was only one employee
of the railroad in the party without and j
the handcar was taken
authority, so local railroad offi
cials say. All persons on the car,
except two, were thrown from
the bridge into the river below
by the force of the collision. Ai
dense fog was largely responsible
for the accident.
Notes of Interest.
The income of the average
American, according to the Unit¬
ed States census, is about $650 a
year.
Only about one pineapple in
every 10,000 lias seeds in it, and
it is from these seeds that new
varieties are produced.
The Imperial canal in China is
the longest in the world,
connects no fewer than forty-one
cities in the course of its 800
miles.
The total number of telephone
calls made in the United States
last year was about5, 000 , 000 , 000 ,
or 54 for each man, woman and
child in the country.
There has been discovered at
Greenock, Eng., an old-fashioned
umbrella with whalebone ribs,
which must be quite 120 years
old. When opened it affords
shelter for a whole" family.
The well-known German ani¬
mal dealer, Jamrach, has an
agent in Siam hunting the big
deer known as Cervus Schombur
ki. No specimen of this denizen
of high ranges in Siam has ever
been taken to Europe alive.
While workmen were engaged
in cutting railroad ties near Wil¬
loughby, Md., they discovered a
gold ring in the heart of an oak
tree. The ring was in perfect
condition,, except that in sawing
down tae tree the saw had disfig¬
ured the set of the ring.
For days millions of robins flew
southbound over Yuba, Nevada,

daybreak resumed their flight.
Nothing has eyer been seen in
California like it.
