dent of the Memphis Comm ercial
says: Announcement is made to-
day of the su spension of the Pro

nal recently started here in the

MYSTERY IS SOLVED AT LAST.
After fiany Years Partners In Crime
Suspicious and Seek Each Others
Lives = Solved After Thirty
One Years by Confession
OF a Participant.

A strange story Of a dark and
mysterious crime, with its atten.
dant train of bloody fatalities
which overlook the four guilty
perpetrators, has Just come 70
light in the dying confession Of
Winans Campbell who died rece n.
tly near jackson, La.
According to his confession.
Campbell was one of four men
who murdered a man named Nit.
chell, Of Amite county, Mississip
Ipi. near Rose Hill, thirty-one
years ago In the unsettled times
Just afte-- the close of the war,
The murder has remained q mys-
terry ever Since until this confes-
sion Of Campbell, and he was The
last OF the murderers, three OF
whom came to violent ends ut the
handsof each other.
Mitchell was prosperous citi.
zen OF Amite county, who was
known to have a considerable sum
OF money. He was found mur-
dered and stripped of all his VA.
luables, and without a penny to
show for the wealth he was sup.
posed to have. Many arrests
were made Of different parties
who were suspected OF the crime,
but not a single one Of the guilty
men were ever arrested or sus.
pected. Campbell says that he
and a certain cavalry colonel nam.
cd Powers, u man name Wellborn
and another named Balleau were
all implicated in the tragedy. He
says he shot Mitchell and he and
the others robbed the dead man,
getting $4,000 and a gold watch
which they divided. The murde.
rers never prosperered. In a
quarrel over a some of the illgot-
ten gains afterward Wellborn was
killed by Campbell. Being na-
turally suspicious of each other,
and each being fearful that his
life was not safe so long as the
Others lived, the murderers in time
grew bitter toward each other.
In this state of mind it was not
long until Balleau fell a victim to
the suspicious Of bis two com.
rades. Campbell and Powers be-
ing left alone of the four soon
sought occasion for a quarrel
which would settle the question
of survivorship between them. A

oPIE READS TRIBUTE
To Mrs. Roosevelt, Who Recently
Gave Out a Statement Concerning
Her Dress Expenditure.

The following gem, sparkling
with good sense, is from our own
Southern novelist and former
newspaper man, Opie Read, and
is a becoming tribute to n wise
and good woman, who in no wise
is responsible for the misjudge
ment Of her husband, the Presi-
dent of the United States:
"Many M old man with young
and handsome wife will thank
Mrs. Roosevelt for setting the ex-
ample of dressing on $500 a year.
Many man whom a silken gown
has pulled nearer to bankruptcy
will save the newspaper cuttings
on the declaration Of this thor
ough American woman and show
them to his wife.
"Society demands extravagant
dress, and the woman who refuses
to bow to the expensive whim of
the social world has within her the
elements of striking originality, if
not of greatness. at the Mrs.
Bradley Martin ball u five hun
dred dollar gown would not be
noticeable, except perhaps for It's
cheapness. but at reception Civ
en- by the wife of the President it
would now be regarded as a dis
play of moneyed vulgarity.
Throughout this land there are
millions of excellent women, the
mothers and the sisters of states
men, and Of patriots. who would
regard $500 a year lavish sum to
sxpend upon dress.
"We all of us have in mind a
beautiful creature made glorious
in rainment that cost less than
800 year. We have seen her
coninP down the grassy lane, with
her jaunty straw hat ribboned with
pink. Perhaps she wore a calico
dress, but the lily of the field peep
cd through the fence and envied
her. In the doorway the tendrils
Of the honeysuckle vine reached
down to fondle her glorious bair,
and you wondered If she really
belonged to this earth, this maid
en- in the calico dress.
"Overdress among women has
been termed one of the curses of
America, Surely its example sti4
mulates discontent. Envy is no
supporter Of virtue. A woman
may be a member of the church,
but when she pays u great price
for gown because it was made by
a certain man, knowing, too, that
not far away is a hungry child
standing in the doorway of q
wretched home, she is not Chris
tian. She has not within her the
spirit Of Christ's immortal demo-
cracy.
"Mrs. Roosevelt does not give
bad advice. She sets wise exam
pie. If the wife of the President
can dress on $500 year, that sum
ought to be sufficient for the aver
age woman in society. On $500
a woman cannot afford many
gowns A gown is worth about
500. But she can buy a dress for
$50. Mrs. Roosevelt Is an expo
nent of true democracy"
