South Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow,” discusses in a
broad and forcible manner the
present and future of the South

such as agriculture, cotton, to
bacco,iron,coal, resorts, climate,
et«.
Following this are chapters
devoted to each of the states

and east of the Mississippi riv
ers.
These give a brief, interesting
sketch of the early history of
each state, and then touch upon
all its important activities, show
ing the progress being made not
only by the state itself, but by
the leading cities.
The author of lhe work, Mr.
Frank Presbrey, is a close stu

in the collection and preparation
of the immense amount of im
portant information given in

do an incalculable amount of
practical good in calling the at
tention of the world to the south

future of this section by the ex

of dollars which this great work
umet have cost. Those who are

THE HANNS CASK
Probably Under grand Jury
Inuestiyation
HUSH MONEY NEEDED
Bribery Matter May Be Revived
In Franklin County.
Columbus, 0., Oct. 8. —Though
confirmation is necessary lacking,
it is persistenly rumored here that
the Franklin-County Grand Jury is
working on the legislation bribery
case, and that indictment of Sen*
ator Hanna may follow, The jur
ors will not talk, but it is known
that, while all others work before
the body has been completed, they
are still in session. Id the last few
days certain members of the Leg
islature have arrived here, visited
the Courthouse and departed, all
undercover of secrecy.
Prosecutor Voorhees, when ask
ed today about the presentation of
the Hanna bribery case to ths grand
jury, said;
“I prefer not to talk about the
matter until next week.”
As there seems to be no. reason
why he should not deny it at once
if there was nothing in the rumor
that the case is in his hands, it is
quite certa : n that the celebrated
case is to be given another whirl
this time before the Franklin-
County Grand Jury, H. H. Hol
lenbeck will be the principal ac
cused.
Colonel Dick will also be charg
ed, and he will probably be taken
from his congressienal contest in
the Nineteenth District to the
Franklin-County juryrnom.
