October. 9. , XX HOT CHASE BY OFFICERS LANDED ALEX SMITH Escaped From Marshal Lylea While on Way from Court House . to Jail. As noted in these columsiast week Alex Smith, Ross Parker and Hensy Smith were supposed to have stolen a Ford car from Rose & Haley. Friday Alex Smith was tried on the charge and Judge Snodgrass charged the jury that in a larceny case a person could not be convicted on the unsupported testimony of another person charged with being implicated in the crime. It seems that the only testimony given in the case was bv Ross Parker, who. was charged with being implicated in the theft and who it seems admitted the charge but in doing so turned state s evidence against Smith. The jury stood four for conviction and eight for acquittal. It seems that the eight felt just as strongly as the other four that Smith was guilty, but under the law as charged bv Judge Snodgrass, a verdict of guilty could not be ren dered and they voted for acquittal. As Marshal Lyles left the court house with Smith to put him in jail he made a break for liberty and got away from the marshal. Shpriff Henrv. and his deputies join cd in the chase and Smith was finally caught lying in a thicket west ot town. It seems he naa sprainea nis foot or lee and for the time being could not run to do much good. He surrendered without resistance. Marshal Lvles took him to Cooke- ville and he was placed in jail there for safe keeping pending nis mai in the federal court on charge of boot legging. He is an old offender, having brok en into the store of J. E. Burnett & Sons a few years ago and stole a pair or two of shotes. He left at once for Alabama where he was arrested in a short time for stealing and as a result served 14 months in the penitentiary. FIRE IN ONTARIO, CANADA TAKES TOLL OF SO LIVES If Comptri Does Want Liberty Let Him Teach It and Oppose Lawlessness. The statement by Mr. Gojnpers that the injunction against interference with with interstate commerce will "promote the manufacture of bolshe vism." adds nothing new to the world's ! knowledge of Mr. Gompers' teachings. Gompers backed the policemen who struck in Boston and turned the city over to bandits. Gompers backed the I. W. W. leader Foster,-in the steel strike, notwithstanding the fact that Foster had been a teacher of sabotage and violence for years. Gompers de clared that organized labor would "re sist to hte uttermost" any decrease of war time wages, even though all other lines of occupation were com pelled to take losses. "Resist to the uttermost" means just exactly what it 'says, and there can be no doubt that Gompers knew what he was saying and meant what Vi caift wh he used those words three years ago. He is talking no new language now. He is in full harmony with his teachings and practice when he cooperated with the I. W. W. lead er in the steel strike. The people of the United States know just where to place Gompers and he can surprise no one by the radicalism of his ut terances. All thai "the government has don" in the injunction proceedings is en join men from unlawful interference with the operation of trains in inter state commerce. The injunction com pels no man to work. It deprives no man of the exercise of his full lib erty so long as he does not interfere with the liberty of others. It recog nizes the right of one man to quit, just as it insists upon the right of other men to work unmolested. The way for Mr. Gompers and his lieutenants to keep out of trouble with the government and with the people of the country, who will back the government "to the uttermost, is clear. Let them mind their own. business and let other people's busi ness alone. Let them work at nny occupation they choose, and concede the same right to others. Let them enjoy the freedom they love, and per mit the same enjoyment to others. If radical labor leaders don't wish to feel the violent hand of the govern ment upon them ,let them cease to teach violence. If there be any who do not want to be restrained of their personal liberty, let them retrain from interfering with the liberty 9f others. If they do wish to enjoy the privileges 01 a country where law and order prevail, let them teach and practice order and uphold the law. Neither the United States govern ment nor any state or local gov ernment will deprive any man of his liberty or molest him in any manner ., - 1 Via itim.ii akniit hie lawful business in a lawful manner. But the first duty of government is to pro tect its citizens in tne enjoymem 01 life, libertv. and prosperity, and this duty the government will perform "to the uttermost" to use Mr. Gomp et's words. President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty have left no doubt on that point, lheir assurances, backed up by action, give rpnowerl rnnfidence in the stability of popular government administration by duly chosen representatives and administrators. PEAVINE Fire raged through a portion of Ontario, Canada, last week and the loss of life is estimated at over fifty while the property loss may run to fifteen millions.

Lyles as jailer and he will move into the jail as soon as G. W. Walker and family vacate. The keyes to the jail have been turned over to Marshal Lyles by Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker seems not to know how soon he can vacate the jail as he has a man on his farm near Crab Orchard, who has not vacated yet. LOSES GOOD "ROLL.' Oliver Rector met with a serious lois yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. He lost $109 from his hip pocket while going from the store of Garrison & Garrison to the pool room. He discovered his loss as soon as he reached the pool room and immediate ly retraced his steps hoping to find the roll but failed. It seemed evident that some one had beat him to.it.
