Special to The Herald. AIKEN, S. S.—The first case tried Monday morning in the court of gen eral sessions here, was the Fred Evans for horse stealing. On the 3rd of May he entered the premises of Mr. Cap Taylor at Montrnoronei and stole his fine mare and then pro ceeded to Mr. J. D. Bell’s place near by and stoic his buggy, and crossed the Savannah river before morning, ran the horse to death near Keys ville, Ga. He first tried to sell the buggy and failing in this made a fire and tried to burn it up. Evans was captured by deputy Sheriff Etherdego of Mcßae, Ga. and brought to Aiken and the reward of $75 was promptly paid. Evans was found guilty Mon day and was sentenced by Judge Gary to serve eight years on the county chain-gang. Evans asked the judge if he would not impose a fine, meaning thereby that to make his sen tence alternative and let him pay out. The judge said "what do you say?” “You want a fine 1 think the eight years is enough without the fine and I will not add a fine to the servitude in your case.” Mr. Gantt, the chief of police of Wagener, was put on trial for killing James WllUs, a negro at Wagener. His plea Is seif defense, he Is repre sented by Sawyer and Williams. ROLAND ELLIS OUT SPEAKERSHIP RACE Bibb County Man Doesn’t Want Office in House of Representatives. MACON, Ga. —Hon. Roland Ellis, of Bibb county will not. be In the race for the officer of speaker of the house of representatives this summer. He has made this announcement to his constituency In this county and to his friends throughout the state in general. When Mr. J. R Anderson of Savannah, stepped out. of the race It left It up to two men and now with the Bibb representative on the retir ed list It, looks like an easy canter for the only entry that Is left. Mr. Ellis gained considerable strength during the* time that his name was permitted to be used and he had received assurances that he would get. 70 of the 92 needed votes. Had he had the time to spare he doubtless would have been able to have secured the necessary 22 vote*. CENTRAL QF GEORGIA RAILWAY. Effective May 30, 1909. (75th Meridian Time.) DEPARTURES.

MARKET GOSSIP Notwithstanding the sharp advance already experienced by Wnb. pfd. this stock Is destined for higher prices according to reliable reports and should be bought, on any slight set-back. Well informed sources say that Ontario & Western will again spring into upward activity suddenly. Un. Pac nnd Hou. Pac., especially tho former, are expected to resume tho upward movement at almost any time. Advices are conflicting on Reading and caution should be exercised in operating In It until after Wednes day’s meeting. Nor. Pac., Ateh., Penna and B. & O. remain much in favor and should be bought on any slight recession. Among the junior shares, Rock Island, Erie and Sou. Ry. issues and Denver are liked whenever recessionary. Tho best ad vices obtainable are bullish on Steel common. The preferred stock Is con sidered an exceptional purchase for tho iong pull. Advices are favorable to the purchase of Amal. Copper on all recessions. An advance In this stock will bo reflected in the other copper metal shares of the list. The purchase of B. R. T. and the Inter. Met shares Is still recommended by pool sources. Specialty movements, Fuel, American Beet Sugar and Vu. Car. Chem. have not culminated yel.
