BEN HOWARD IS DEAD
NEGRO WHO WAS SHOT BY DAN

Shooting Occurred Late Saturday
Night and Rogers Surrendered
to Sheriff Waller-Claims
It Was an Accident.

Dan Rogers. one Of the negro prin-
cipals in the shooting on the Red Bridge

rendered himself to Sheriff Waller Later
in the day a warrant was sworn out be-
fore Justice r. II. Jones charging muir
der. Justice Jones named Saturday as the
date for Rogers's preliminary hearing.
The accused negro claims that How
ard death was caused by an accident.
He saws that he and the dead man were
the best of friends and had never ha 1
any trouble. Howard he says was shot
while they were playing little before
midnight Rogers says that they were
pranking with pistol when it exploded.
The first report of the shooting brought
to police headquarters by a witness, An
drew Scott. was to the effect that Rogers
had shot Howard apparently without
cause. Scott's version of the shooting was
that the two men with other negroes
were standing in front of Joe Warner $

women passed to whom Rogers made a
rem ark. Whereupon 1T is said Howard
spoke to Rogers and Rogers drew pistol
and fired.

Was Not a Call to Preach.

Galveston News.
There vas a man in Anderson County,
so it is said. who was very thifling, He
fancied he was called to preach. So after
studying his sermon about a month he
gave out an appointment several miles
from home and one Sunday went TO fill 1t.
He made a complete failure, ON his way
home he met one OF his neighbors. who
asked, where have you been?" He re-
piled. To fill my appointment. The
neighbcr asked. What appointment" He
said. why. didn't you know that had
been called to preach?" Then he told
him that thre, nights In succession he
had seen the letters &c. p. c." on the
wall, and he could not make anything else
out of it but 60 Preach Christ Now
said his neighbor. at did not mean that
at all. You know last fall you were so
lazy and trif1ng you let all OF your cotton
waste. Ii meant Go pick cotton. The
man took him at his word. left off trying
to preach. gathered his cotton and saved
his crop.

Summer Homes in the Mountains.

Undoubtedly the most invigorating and
healthful region in which TO spend the
heated term is among the resorts along
the line Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way, in the mountains of the Virginias.
These resorts vary in altitude from 1900
to $500 feet. and are celebrated for grand
and picturesque surroundings variety of
mineral waters and eXhilirating climate
with mildly warm days ard cool refresh
ing nights that produce energy and
bouyancy which promotes health and en-
joyment. There are over 800 Summer
Homes in the mountains and on the sea-
shore reached by the C. and o. Ry. They
vary in rates and character to suit those
of very moderate means who seek rest
only, and those also who desire gaiety
and social life. For booklet descriptive

Annual Meeting in Montgom-

The Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows will
meet today in Selma.
The three Montgomery lodges are we'll

the city with an invitation to the Grand
Lodge to hold its next annual session i'll
this city. The four representatives will
leave no stone unturned to have the
Grand Lodge gather in Montgomery
when it next meets. The Grand Lodge
will be in session in Selma three days.
The prominent Odd Fellows who bear.
credentials from the Montgomery Lodges
are 9. A. Thomas. From Montgomery

from Capital City Lodge, and George
WragS from Lomax Lodge, Capital City
Lodge has more than 100 members and Is
therefore entitled to two delegates to the
Grand Lodge.
/ The Odd Fellows in Montgomery form
one of the most popular orders OF the
city. Montgomery has been called an Odd
Fellow town from the extensive member
ship within the limits of the city. For
this reason the Grand Lodge of Odd Fell
lows would receive an unusually warm
reception here.
The Montgomery delegates left for Sell

succeed in having this city named as the
next meeting place OF the Grand Lodge.

tific writer's declared that before another
half century there would be violent
earthquake or other volcanic disturbance
in the group of islands of which Marti-
nique Is the centre.
There are two chief causes Of such dis
turbances-first. volcanic explosions, and.
second. overlooking. The St. Pierre dis
aster. say the scientists. was caused by
BY overlooking II means the carrying
down of silt or sand by large rivers. thus
creating an extra pressure on certain
spot of the thin surface of the earth. This
Increases until it makes A slight crack
in the crust of the earth, causing the
eruption of lava or disaster like the
earthquakes Of Lisbon and Charleston.
The West India Islands. including Mar
Unique. were especially exposed to this
dangere They are the dumping ground
for all the sand. silt and sediment wash
ed down by the Ohio and Mississippi ISv-
ers, besides all the smaller rivers that
Very few people have any idea of the
great quantity of sediment that is washed
down bv a large river. But a scientist
has estimated that belt line of reisht
cars could not 1aul more than half as
much as the Potomac River deposits at
It's mouth.
What. then. 'hall De said of the sedi-
nlent-carrying power OF mighty torrent
Ike the Mississippi which deposits its
enormous load among the west Indies.
Every city or island near the mouth of
a large river like New York is in danger
of earthuuakes and volcanic explosions.
Such dangerous districts are. for IN
stance. the lands near the mouth of the
River Pc. into which number of other
rivers empty great quantities Of silt; the
Bay Of Bengal. which Is the dumping
ground for the famous Ganges and other
rivers; the Yellow Sea. which receives
loads of sandy deposit from the Chinese
river Yangtse. and the district around
the mouth of the Amazon.
Smaller and slower rivers. ssuch as the
Hudson and Rhine. are not apt TO cause
earthquakes. though thew are certain to
do so II only given sufficient time.
The surface of the earth Is very thin.
In proportion to its bulk. The skin of an
ordinary orange so saw scientists. Is much
thicker than the rind of The earth upon
which we tread. in proportion to its size.
ANY very serious alteration in tho
surface. therefore. is liable to cause
pressure that results in earthquakes and
similar disturbances.
Every region. whether of land or
water. that lies at the foot of a long
sloping territory. and thus at the mouth
of great rivers. is in danger of such sud
den disasters as have befallen LISBON
Charleston. Pellin and ST. Pierre.
No means known to modern science can
be used to avert such disasters. They are
the result of gigantic natural forces, ps
yond all human power. No human eng
neer can control the fires that rage IN the
earth's centre.
At the most nothing can be done ~
