seven years, and resulted in verdict of
acquittal and yet all historians agree in
saying that the objects for which the

B. Forrest Camp of Confederate Veterans
is preparing new constitution and by
laws, which will allow all sons and grand
sons of Confederate Veterans to become
members of the organization. An effort
will be made to have the convention at

may merge the organization of the sons
of veterans into the United Confederate

some of the parts OF the pistol to pieces
and readjusted them. Placing the pistol
back to his head he fired. He lived

WHITE WOMAN KILLED NEGRO
ROY.

Mrs. Sarah Higgins, white woman,
IS on trial at Gainesville, charged with
the murder of a little negro boy. 1t is
claimed that the boy who was killed. with
several others, were rocking her house,
which is several miles from town, on
Sunday afternoon, and that Mrs. Higgins,
who is a widow, got her pistol and shot
out of the DOOR not intending to kill any
of them. This is quite a pitiful case. The
old woman is poor and very ignorant. She
was remanded 10 Jail in default of bail,
when the commitment trial was had, and
has been there for several months. She
is so poor and frieudless that the court
had to appoint counsel to defend her.
Judge Thomas W. Miller was appointed
by the court. Her two children, a boy
and a girl, had no place to go and no
one to take care of them, and were finally
sent to the poorhouse. The boy, who is
about 16 years old, was put in Jail with
his mother, 1t being charged that he was
implicated in the killing, but he was final
" released.
