IN MEMORIAM.
A Friend Pays Tribute to Mrs.
Laura Seville.

Passed from earth to her celestial
home on Friday. June IL, at I o'clock
D. M, Mrs. Laura Seville, aged q
years, months and % days.
Thou art gone to the grave to await
the resurrection morn, but the sorrow
for the dead is the only sorrow from
which we refuse to be divorced.
Where is that mother who would will
ingly forget the infant that perished
like blossom from her arms, though
every recollection is a pang. The
love which survives the tomb is
one of the noblest attributes of the
soul. In the grave is buried every err
ro.: it covers every defect and extin-
cuisines every resentment. Go to the
grave of buried love and mediate.
The writer recalls the many happy
moments, both in the school room and
around the family hearthstone, just
ten years ago. Miss Laura was then q
pupil of mine, in the bloom of young
womanhood. and to me her future
seemed bright and inviting. No dark
and lowering cloud seemed to oyer
shadow her pathway. Being always
cheerful, all in her society seemed to
breathe the contagion. l shall always
cherish the recollection that she was
one of nv best lady friends, and, too,
I am proud that / said many good
things to and about her while she was
living, and can only repeat them In
her obituary.
Miss Laura was noble young lady,
and no change came over her after she
married Mr.. Jesse Seville on January
|. 1900. Let all her friends and rela'
tive weave q chaplet of flowers and
strew the beauties of nature upon her
grave while we sing this most beautl'
full of songe:
will sing you a song of beautiful land,
The far away home of the soul,
Where no storms ever beat on that glitterlns
strand,
While the years Of eternity roll.
o. the home of my soul in my visions and dreams
Its bright jasper walls can see,
Till fancy but thnly the vale lntervenes
Between the fair city and me.
There the fair tree Of life in its beauty doth grow
And the river Of life fioweth by;
For no death enters that city, you know
And nothing that maketh lie.
That Interchangeable home. is for you and for iae,
Where Jesus of Nazareth stands.
The King OF all kingdoms forever is He,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.
O. how sweet it will be in that beautiful land.
. So free from all sorrow and pain;
With songs on our lips and harps in our hands
To meet one another again. a FRIEND.

BADLY HURT.
Tried to Ride a Bicycle Up &
Plank 10 the Top of a
Brick Building.

Master Ben Philips, the fifteen
year old son sof Mrs. F. H. McCalla of
this city, was quite painfully though
not fatally hurt Sunday afternoon. He
and several companions were doing an
exhibition act by riding up plank to
the top of the new brick building of
Messrs. Tom Allen & Co. and the
risky achievement was accomplished
by several of the boys without mishap.
Young Philips, however, was ngt as
successful as his companions, and took
tall OF about ten feet.
1t was thought as first that be was
fatally hurt, as he was rendered un-
conscious by the accident, but exami-
nation proved his hurts not serious.

the superintendent, is evidently very

While in Dawson we were impressed
by the fact that it is not only one OF
the best business points in the state,
out it is q town of beautiful homes,

proportion and very attractive in style

would do credit to large cities. Anoth-

were struck was the unity and coop

canning to general progress. Other
communities we know of might proht

REWARD FOR SLAYER
GOVERNOR MAKES EFFORT TO
APPREHEND CRIMINALS.
State will Give $3.50 for Conviction
of Assailant of Mrs. Williams

County Murderer.

Governor Jelks yesterday offered re-
ward Of $3.50 for the arrest of the I'M
known man who brutally assaulted Mrs.
John Williams November 4, neal. Alex
andria, in Calhoun County.
The reward is conditional upon his safe
delivery in the jail of Calhoun County,
and his conviction in the courts.
The crime was one of the most brutal
in the criminal annals of the State. Mrs.
Williams was assaulted and left uncon-
scious by a blow from some blunt in
strument She was found lying in pool
of her own blood. Standing beside her
was her 1-year-old child, covered with
the blood of his mother. Nearby was
a plate filled with food, showing that the
unknown assailant had asked for and
received charity before the assault. Mrs.
williams was struck a murderous blow
with pair of heavy tongs. At last
accounts she had not regained conscious
ness.
She Is a daughter of H. T. Persons,
Superintendent of Education of Calhoun
County.
The Governor also offered reward of
800 for the arrest of Winston Meyers of
Walker County. Meyers is charged with
the murder of a man named Pender of

SOUTHERN NEGRO FARMERS.
More Than 10000 Own the Land
They Cultivate.


According to the last census $4,000 ne
groes in the South now own farms and
q 900 more arc parS owners. OF all farms
deriving their principal income from cot
ton, 1911 per cent are cultivated by ne
groes, of rice farms 37.3 per cent, of SUI
gar farms 14.S per cent. In addition to
growing cotton. rice and sugar, the me-
groes of the South are extensively en-
gagged in growing vegetables, fruits and
tobacco and in conducting small farms
classed as miscellaneous
Farms belonging to negroes are usually
smaller than those of the whites. They
are much poorer, too, in buildings, stock
and general equipment. Their managers
have not so good a training for business
nor equal ability with the whites in car
rying on the higher processes of farming.
So their work is apt to be of the common
and simpler kinds. Thus. the average
value of domestic animals for white farm
ers is $6O3, while for negroes it Is only
S135. In dairying white farmers outnum-
Der the negroes ten to one. White farm
ers have a much larger number of horses.
while negrt es more often get along with
one or two mules. White farmers in the
South own some 100000 sneep. while the
negroes have only about $1,000, a reason
for which is said to be the negroes fond
ness for dogs that will not allow the
sheep to live. White farmers raise three
times as much poultry per farm as the
negroes and twenty times as many pees'
