MOORE A WEEK MORE.
Famous Photographer Will Make
Photographs One More
Week at 81 a Dozen.

When F. B. Moore, the New Or
leans photographer, located Ill our
city and made the low prices he has
done on his finest photographs it was
solely with a view to advertise his
business. both in this city and in
New Orleans, and he did not expect
any profit to be derived by him from
the offer directly. However, the
citizens of the city have shown so
great an interest III his undertaking
and patronized him so literally that
he has decided to give them the ad-
vantage of this highly superior class
of work he is doing at the same low
price of 50 a dozen for one more week
only. The work he does is no longer
thought experimental and his studio
is crowded to the utmost capacity
from one day TO another. Miss B. B.
Meade, who is manager of the New
Orleans studio, has charge. and in
taste of posing and management she
is witout doubt an artist. Miss
Meade formerly resided in our city
and is known to many, and she will
make your visit pleasant in the ex-
treme
The studio is arranged in the very
best manner conducive to good re-
suits, and it is made a pleasure to
have your photo taken there. When
all things are considered it is
not to be wondered that he has had
such success, and no doubt next week
will be even more phenomenal in its
successful nature

WOMAN KILLS HER BROTHER
Horrible Deed of Mrs. Odom, Who
Shoots and Kills Her Brother
at Richton Saturday.

One of the most horrible tragedies
that ever occurred in this section took
place last Saturday at the little town
of Richton, on the branch of the
Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City road,
about ten miles from this city, in
which Mrs. Odom shot and killed
her brother, John Rich.
1t seems that the two had for some
time been on unfriendly terms, and
one week ago from the date OF the
killing dispute which resulted in
blows occurred at q spring, the prop
erty of Rich, which his sister, Mrs.
Odom, had been accustomed to use.
Rich ordered her away from the
spring, but she having arranged to do
her weeks washing there, refused to
go, whereupon he attempted to give
her a thrashing, succeeding mas
much as she left the spring. On the
following Saturday, July 20, she
again went to the spring, and repe-
tition of the dispute took place. Find
ing that she would not leave, Rich
again attempted to drive her waay by
force, and struck her several blows
with a limb. But this time she had
come prepared, and after having
been struck several times she drew a
I revolver concealed upon her person
and fired four shots, one penetrating
his heart and one his brain, from
which death resulted instantly. Mrs.
Odom WAS placed in the Augusta Jail,
where she now is.
The family Of the brother and sis
er are we'll known in this city, and
Steven @. Rich, the father, is one of
the most prominent citizeus Of Rich

ROTTEN DEPARTMENT
INVESTIGATION INTO POSTh-
SCANDAL GROWS BIG.
VETERANS NOW AT WORK
Oldest Men in the Service Called
Upon to Dig Out the Record of
of orruption-Machen's Partner
May Turn States Evidence-Ex-
travagant Contracts Made.

Washington, May pa large corps
of inspectors, including veterans OF
the service, was at work probing into
the alleged irregularities of the post
masters department yesterday but no
further arrests were made.
1t is possible the intermediary who
it is alleged figured in the transac-
lions which lea to the arrest of Ma
chen, former superintendent of the
free delivery service, may turn states
evidence His identity has not been
disclosed. Machen's counsel issued
a statement asserting his ability to
fully disprove all the charges. The
investigating officials are equally con-
fident. The government is anxious
to expedite the trial of Machen as
much as possible, consistently with
the proper handling of the case. 1t
is arranging to have witnesses at
Machen's preliminary hearing, June s.
The preliminary hearing of Croft
brothers, the profits OF whose firm
Machen is accused of sharing on a
40 per cent. basis, has been set for
June 8. Postmaster General Payne
was asked as to the nature of the,
charges against George w. Beavers,
former superintendent of the division
of salaries and allowances, and re-
piled that they might be summed up
as the payment of extravagant prices
for the materials and supplies used in
his division, including time clocks
and stamping machinery. He said
there was only one charge that
Beavers has received a commission ON
these supplies. This charge, he said,
is under investigation. The post
master general also said one of the
charges against Machen, which the
inspectors are investigating, was the
allegation that Machen had forged the
name OF another man on an official
paper 10 years ago. Machen knew Of
this charge, he said, and had in
formed him (the postmaster generaD
that ne (Machen) was ready at any
time to bring conclusive proof that
he was innocent of the transaction.
The other charges involve letter
box contracts. Some of the charges
are OF a similar nature to those on
which the arrest was based. The
postmaster general declared with en-
phasis that the investigation would
not end until all irregularities had been
thoroughly inquired into and eradi-
Gated.
